CHAPTER 230: CHAPTER 121: FIRE BURNING RED CLIFF 3.0! EPIC BREAKDOWN! (6K)_3

"..."

Li Yuan’s face turned bright red, stuttering: "I, I don’t know either, how it ended up like this..."

Chen Mo carefully counted, and surprisingly, the numbers actually matched up!

Wow, turns out her Martial Spirit is a counter?!

"Judging by the size of the text, to fill up the blade, it would need at least a few hundred attempts... A daunting task ahead!"

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! As for which step to take, that’s none of your concern!"

"General Li, open your mouth!"

Li Yuan thought there was more Alchemy Pills for her, and she squinted her eyes, opening her lips in anticipation.

Instantly...

"Mm?!"

Her eyes widened with a choking sensation.

Realizing what happened, her breathing became rapid, crimson spreading from her cheeks to her neck.

Her slender fingers clutched her clothes, her whole body trembling slightly, with a charming shimmer rippling like a lake stirred by the spring breeze, wave after wave, making her seem lost in thought.

It was at this moment that the remaining rationality in Li Yuan realized something.

The delicacy was clearly in her mouth, so what exactly was playing mischief now?

Something is off!

"S-Sir?!!"

...

An hour later, Chen Mo walked out of the inner hall.

As for Li Yuan...

She still hadn’t recovered her senses.

Recalling her eyes rolling back and her nearly broken expression, Mr. Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Fire Burning Red Cliff 3.0, first round of internal testing completed, results outstanding!"

"In the first round of technical testing, we refined the flame characteristics, making it supple yet firm, ensuring it’s not too aggressive to harm the testers, while also providing a richer experience."

"We fixed the bug where flames overlapped during large fires which might burn clothing, and added spiral textures for an enhanced user experience."

"However, due to individual tester constitution differences, the specific effects vary... Hmm, to handle complex and changing situations, further updates and improvements are required."

Chen Mo pondered privately.

He was considering whether to choose the Imperial Music Bureau or the Frozen Sky Palace for the second round of internal testing.

Suddenly, a notification flashed before him:

["Li Yuan" favorability rating increased.]

[Current progress: 90/100 (Unwavering).]

[Favorability reached the threshold, third stage rewards unlocked.]

[Received special items: Dao Essence Crystal *2.]

[Received high-level talisman: Five Elements Escape Technique *3.]

[Received Heavenly Rank Top Grade Martial Arts: Shattering Star Finger.]

Looking at the dense, tiny characters, Chen Mo was slightly stunned.

Since breaking through the final step with Li Yuan, he hadn’t been paying attention to her favorability rating, after all, feelings couldn’t be measured numerically.

He genuinely liked this stubborn, yet somewhat adorable girl, rather than seeing her as just a tool for farm rewards.

Previously, despite their deep and shallow exchanges, the favorability hadn’t shown much change.

This time, the significant increase was probably due not to Fire Burning Red Cliff, but to those heartfelt and sincere words.

"Little Tiger seems strong, but actually lacks a sense of security inside."

"No wonder she always holds on to me tightly at the last moment, never wasting a bit..."

Chen Mo’s lips curved into a smile, his eyes glowing softly.

In the game "Unmatched Immortal," every female protagonist has a background color quite different from their appearance.

The strong-willed yet soft-hearted Li Yuan; the bewitching, naive Gu Manzhi in love matters; the cool and detached, yet provocatively figured Ling Ningzhi; and then there’s Shen Zhixia, who looks like a foodie because she is one...

"Besides that, there’s the sensitive ultimate BOSS, the Eastern Palace Empress from Water Flood."

"It’s all about that contrast!"

Chen Mo shook his head.

Now, he found himself in a perilous situation, with the Demon Clan, sects, and the court, all wanting his life, almost countless!

But still, he couldn’t help but marvel...

This game is just too much fun!

Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside.

"General Qin, are you alright?!"

"Quick, call a physician!"

"Hm?"

Chen Mo furrowed his brow slightly, walking out of the government building to the training grounds.

He saw a group of assistants gathered together, anxiously shouting out.

And Qin Shou was lying on the ground, eyes closed, face pale, his breath extremely weak.

"Mr. Chen has arrived!"

"Sir!"

The crowd parted, bowing and saluting.

Chen Mo strode forward, asking: "What’s going on here?"

A junior officer answered: "I don’t know either, General Qin was just fine a moment ago, then suddenly started convulsing, and subsequently lost consciousness."

Chen Mo crouched down, grabbing Qin Shou’s wrist.

"His heart meridian is scattered, life force fading, yet there’s no visible injury on his body... Could it be poisoning?"

He infused Vitality Essence into Qin Shou’s body.

Qin Shou’s face gained some color but quickly turned as pale as paper again.

?

Chen Mo furrowed his brow even tighter.

The Vitality Essence he had just infused vanished completely in an instant, as if devoured by something.

He continued to channel Vitality Essence, the green energy rushing in as if money were no object, permeating every corner of Qin Shou’s body.

Finally, near the heart meridian, he discovered a clue.

The Essence gathered and concentrated, wrapping around the heart meridian, forcing the foreign object along the meridian.

"Pffff!"

Qin Shou suddenly sat up, spurting out a mouthful of black blood.

Amidst the blood pool, a completely black worm with fangs emerged, writhing as it continually sucked the blood on the ground, its body enlarging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing its somewhat familiar form, Chen Mo’s gaze sharpened.

"Is this... a poisonous bug?!"

"Cough, cough!"

Qin Shou coughed violently.

Thanks to the nourishment from the Vitality Essence, the swallowed Essence Qi was rapidly recovering.
