I Can Level Up By Staying Idle Novel - Chapter 85

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Haicheng Martial Arts High School, artificial lake.

A man and a woman sat around the stove, eating grilled fish.

Yan Yimo’s cheeks were slightly red, and she no longer looked cold. It was unknown if it was from the heat of the grilled fish or from her gluttony.

“What am I doing?”

“Didn’t I come to chase him away?

!!

“Why did I sit down and eat instead?”

Yan Yimo had mixed feelings.

A grilled fish had destroyed her cold image!

But then again, it really does smell good!

Lin Mo also had mixed feelings.

The reason why he handed over the hot grilled fish was just to tease her. Who would have thought that… Yan Yimo would actually bite it and sit down to continue eating!

From the looks of it, he would not stop until he was full!

Lin Mo couldn’t help but look at him bitterly.

“What are you doing?”

“I made the grilled fish to motivate you to work hard on involuting!”

“Why aren’t you playing by the rules? You actually came straight over to eat with me?”

This situation was really unexpected for Lin Mo. He had eaten so many meals outside the prep class, but no one had ever came over to freeload! This tried and tested trick actually failed with Yan Yimo.

“My illusion involution index!” Lin Mo’s heart ached.

Yan Yimo had already eaten so much, how could there be an index?

Moreover, Brother Mo was a particular person! He was not comfortable with chasing Yan Yimo away.

After all, before Yan Yimo transferred here, Lin Mo didn’t even know what an illusionist was. On the first day Yan Yimo came, he became a third-rank illusionist!

‘What is this?’

This was his benefactor!

Now that his benefactor wanted to eat some of his grilled fish, wouldn’t Lin Mo be too stingy if he just chased her away?

“I only hope that Yan Yimo can finish it early and go back to cultivating harder!”

At this moment, Lin Mo only wanted to say to Yan Yimo, “Don’t forget your original intention!”

Your original intention was to cultivate illusions, not to eat grilled fish!

However, looking at Yan Yimo wolfing down the food without any regard for her image, Lin Mo suddenly felt a little amused. “Don’t tell me you’ve never eaten grilled fish before?”

Yan Yimo couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

‘She really had never eaten grilled fish before.’

If she had, she would not be so tempted. She was clearly here to chase him away, but she ended up eating!

“I really haven’t eaten it before!” Lin Mo looked at the other party’s expression and instantly understood. “Then your days are too boring! You’re cultivating your mind and mind every day just to maintain your best state to cultivate illusions?”

Yan Yimo was a little depressed.

She knew that her days were quite boring, but this was the price an illusionist had to pay. After all, illusionists valued cultivation the most! But… it was one thing for her to know, but it was another for others to say it!

Wasn’t that just rubbing salt into Yan Yimo’s wound?

“That’s still better than a third-year martial arts student like you idling around right?” Yan Yimo started to poke at Lin Mo.

While eating roasted fish just now, Yan Yimo had already learned about Lin Mo’s situation at Haicheng Martial Arts High School!

In Lin Mo’s own words—everyone thought that he was a good-for-nothing who had given up on the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination!

Yan Yimo could tell that Lin Mo was indeed lying flat.

However, what Yan Yimo did not know was that her actions of “exposing each other’s scars” actually did not expose Lin Mo’s scars at all.

To be more precise, Lin Mo was flawless!

“You don’t understand!” Lin Mo’s face was unfathomable as he said calmly, “The path of martial arts is about relaxation and balance! You saw me lying idle? Actually, this is just the appearance you saw!”

Lying idle was indeed just an appearance!

Idle leveling up was Lin Mo’s true goal.

Of course, Yan Yimo wouldn’t understand!

“Appearance? I think I’ve already seen the essence!” Yan Yimo rolled her eyes. “The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination is around the corner. You come here every day to fish and roast fish, and you’re still talking to me about work-life balance? I only believe in the heavens rewarding hard work! The so-called work-life balance is nothing more than an excuse that lazy bugs find for themselves!”

As Yan Yimo spoke, she stuffed a large piece of fish into her mouth. At the same time, she raised her eyebrows arrogantly. “After eating this grilled fish, I’ll immediately go back and work harder to cultivate!”

At this moment, Yan Yimo looked like a scumbag who had turned hostile after eating her up!

However, Lin Mo’s eyes lit up!

“Double the effort?” Wasn’t that what he’d been waiting for?

Hurry up and eat!

After eating, quickly scram to the involution!

Lin Mo looked forward to it.

But then—

Yan Yimo’s hand that was holding the chopsticks suddenly froze. She fell into a “dazed” state.

“This is…?” Lin Mo was shocked.

If Lin Mo was just an ordinary Celestial Martial Artist, he probably wouldn’t have sensed anything wrong with Yan Yimo. However… Lin Mo was a third-rank illusionist! Moreover, his mental strength far exceeded that of an ordinary third-rank illusionist!

He could tell at a glance that Yan Yimo’s body was surging with strong vital essence fluctuations.

“Is she about to break through?”

This was clearly a sign of a breakthrough!

Yan Yimo’s actions really stunned Lin Mo. He actually broke through while eating grilled fish?

1

With this talent, she would probably catch up to Lin Mo!

Of course, Lin Mo would definitely benefit from Yan Yimo’s breakthrough at such a close distance. The moment she broke through, Lin Mo heard the system notification in his mind at almost the same time:

“Ding! Congratulations, host. You have broken through to a fourth-rank illusionist!”

‘Fourth rank…’

Even Lin Mo did not expect him to break through to become a fourth-rank illusionist in such a way!

A third-rank illusionist was an official martial artist.

As for fourth-rank illusionists, they corresponded to Celestial Martial Artists!

In other words, Lin Mo had already reached the level of a Celestial Martial Artist in both “punching force” and “illusion”!

Dual-Profession Celestial Martial Artist!

“I…” At this moment, Yan Yimo finally came back to her senses.

She was still holding a large piece of fish, but she forgot to stuff it into her mouth. She was even more dumbfounded. “I broke through to become a fourth-rank illusionist!”

Fourth rank as well!

Two fourth-rank illusionists had emerged from a meal of grilled fish!

Who could believe that?

“Congratulations!” Lin Mo congratulated her sincerely. When Yan Yimo broke through, she returned illusion involution index, which allowed him to break through to the fourth rank!

“Lin Mo, you’re right! The path of martial arts should have a work-life balance!” Yan Yimo said sincerely. “It’s precisely because my mind has been tense for too long that I’ve always felt that I could break through to the fourth rank, but I couldn’t! Now that I’m suddenly relaxed, I’ve directly broken through to the fourth rank!”

“Uh…” Lin Mo was speechless.

Work-life balance my ass! I was just spouting nonsense! I didn’t expect Yan Yimo to really break through because of this!

“You’ve helped me so much and helped me break through to become a fourth-rank illusionist. I must thank you properly!” Yan Yimo said sincerely.

Lin Mo was even more speechless.

He had benefited Yan Yimo’s illusion involution index, learned the three basic secret arts of illusionists, and even broke through to become a fourth-rank illusionist! In the end, Yan Yimo still had to thank him?

… .

At this moment.

At the corner not far from Lin Mo.

Gao Haoran and the angler appeared with a box of cold beer each.
