The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 58: Infinite Battle Suit! (Two-in-One)

As Du Zixi approached, the aura that repelled strangers caused Mu Xiyue and her two roommates to instinctively take a step back.

"Are you Chen Mo? I didn't expect us to be alumni," Du Zixi said with a smile, looking at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded, puzzled, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Nice to meet you, I'm Du Zixi. My brother is Du Zihang, and I'm here to pick you up on his behalf," Du Zixi said, revealing a bright smile and extending her slender, fair hand to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo shook her hand and felt the softness and tenderness of Du Zixi's hand, the softest he had ever touched. He couldn't help but wonder how she took care of her hands. Did she soak them in milk every day?

Chen Mo couldn't help but let his mind wander.

"So you're Miss Du. Nice to meet you. Let's go then," Chen Mo said.

"What about these three classmates?" Du Zixi looked at Mu Xiyue and the others.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "They wanted to have a meal together, but I think the Du family must have already arranged my meals, so I declined."

Upon hearing this, Du Zixi smiled and said, "Of course. My car is over there."

As Du Zixi turned to leave, Chen Mo looked at Mu Xiyue and said, "I'll come back for you tonight and take you to see the house. But for now, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you go to Mingyuan Community, Room 444? That's my house. I'll be out for a while today, and there's a puppy at home that needs someone to take care of it. Can you help me after lunch? I'll pay you according to our usual hourly wage."

Saying that, Chen Mo handed a key to Mu Xiyue.

This surprised Mu Xiyue. She actually got the key to Chen Mo's house and could even go there?

For a moment, Mu Xiyue blushed and her heart raced. She couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, it was the home of the boy she liked. She was really curious about the style of Chen Mo's home.

She immediately took the key and smiled sweetly, saying, "I have nothing to do this afternoon, so taking care of your puppy is no problem at all. It's not really work, so you don't have to pay me."

"That won't do. I don't know you yet, do I? You'll definitely go to work as a temporary worker in the afternoon. I'm asking you to take care of my puppy, which means you're wasting your time. I still have to pay you," Chen Mo said with a smile, not giving Mu Xiyue a chance to speak.

After saying that, he turned to the two people next to Mu Xiyue and said, "You two must have been involved in this as well. I'll pretend that you didn't dare to offend Chu Mengyao and were forced to participate. But since you've already participated, if you don't properly apologize, there will be consequences. You can figure out what to do on your own. Otherwise, when the time comes for settlement, don't say that I didn't give you a chance."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving the two of them with a look of shock.

If Du Zixi hadn't come, Chen Mo's words would have been taken seriously by these two girls, and they would have investigated Chen Mo's identity before making a decision.

They would have checked whether his status was higher or Chu Mengyao's was higher before deciding.

But after seeing how respectful Du Zixi had been to Chen Mo just now, they were completely scared.

What kind of identity does it take for Du Renyuan's precious pearl, the Qing Gang princess Du Zixi, to show such respect and humility towards him?

They simply couldn't imagine.

At that moment, they didn't dare to offend Chen Mo. He immediately turned to Mu Xiyue and said, "Xiao Yue, we were wrong before, but you also know that we couldn't go against Meng Yao's actions. Otherwise, we would have suffered too. Please forgive us. There's a nice tea restaurant near the school that just opened. Since you haven't had lunch yet, why don't we go there together? We'll treat you."

The sudden flattery from these two people left Mu Xiyue a little confused.

These two people knew Du Zixi, but Mu Xiyue didn't. She had no idea about the complicated relationship between them.

So she couldn't figure out why these two suddenly had a complete change in attitude towards her.

She was afraid of traps, so she immediately said, "No need, I have a temporary job at noon, and they provide lunch there."

"Come on, Xiao Yue, by saying that, you're refusing to accept our apology. We truly regret our previous behavior. Please give us a chance to make amends."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Yue, please."

But Mu Xiyue was still afraid, and in the end, she refused, leaving the two of them standing there dumbfounded.

"What should we do? If she doesn't forgive us, that handsome guy from earlier might really stand up for her. Even Du Zixi treated him with utmost respect. It's unlikely we can find many young people like him in this city."

"What else can we do? Chase after her and apologize. Xiao Yue said she has something to do at noon, right? Can't we help her with it? If we finish her work quickly, she can take care of that handsome guy's puppy sooner. As long as we sincerely help her, she will see our sincerity. Otherwise, what else can we do? When this handsome guy starts settling the score, who among us can escape?"

"Guess we can only do that."

Watching the two of them chase after Mu Xiyue, Chen Mo already understood their thoughts.

Although these two had a sense of remorse, Chen Mo had already determined that they weren't good people based on their earlier mocking and attempts to embarrass Mu Xiyue. Even without Chu Mengyao, they had a habit of doing evil and bullying the weak.

Chen Mo gave them a chance, just to see what they would do.

In reality, none of them could escape.

But if they truly showed enough remorse, the punishment could be reduced.

After confirming that Mu Xiyue was fine, Chen Mo got into the red Pamela that Du Zixi was driving.

"Sorry, Dr. Chen, just now there were classmates around, so I didn't address you like this. I was mainly afraid of causing unnecessary trouble for you."

After getting in the car, Du Zixi smiled apologetically and said, "It's nothing. I'm actually more used to you all calling me by my name. The title 'Dr.' sounds a bit old-fashioned."

"Okay, then I'll call you Chen Mo, and you can call me Zixi."

As they spoke, Chen Mo glanced at the rank insignia on Du Zixi's head.

"Oh? Rank Five Anomalous Being? It seems that Du Zixi is also a good person to befriend."

Chen Mo still attached great importance to Main Task 2. In his opinion, it was easier to increase favorability to over 90 points with opposite-sex targets than same-sex targets.

So he paid more attention to female targets who were Rank Five or above.

If there are better targets to approach, that would be great.

Currently, Du Zixi, this Rank Five Anomalous Being, seems like a good target to Chen Mo.

If he can cure her father, it should help him establish a closer relationship with her.

After exchanging a few words, Du Zixi started the car and left the campus of Modu University.

Just as the car had just left the entrance of Modu University, Chen Mo's earpiece immediately received a prompt from the system.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the host for successfully escaping from the terrifying place full of monster nests, and for having close contact with the Rank Nine Tree Emperor and multiple monster nests while exploring the depths of that terrifying place, and still managing to escape unharmed.

The host is truly both intelligent and brave, and is hereby rewarded with 10,000 survival points and an S Level gift package!]

"Oh? Not bad, I actually received 10,000 survival points and an S Level gift package. It seems like I should go to more crowded places to earn more rewards."

Previously, when Chen Mo first came out of the park, he received 5,000 points and an A Level gift package as a reward.

The danger level of Modu University campus, as evaluated by the system, was clearly much higher than that of the park before.

Naturally, the rewards given were excellent.

It was directly comparable to the rewards for dealing with a Rank Nine formidable enemy.

Chen Mo also roughly understood the logic behind the system's reward distribution.

In an environment surrounded by a large number of monsters, the rewards he could obtain were actually better than those for facing a single top-level expert.

It was just that the rewards obtained from the close contact with a large number of monster nests and the Rank Nine Tree Emperor were comparable to the rewards Chen Mo received for taming the Rank Nine Mutant Beast Xiao Huang.

These rewards were too easy to obtain.

However, after thinking for a moment about the logic behind the system's reward distribution, Chen Mo could understand why he could receive rewards comparable to defeating high-level experts just by safely circling around an area with a large number of monster activities.

Mainly, it was because his original rank was too low. With such a low rank, not to mention facing a Rank Nine, even facing lower ranks like Rank Five or Rank Six would be enough to easily kill him.

So forget about defeating a Rank Nine, even defeating a Rank Five or Rank Six at this stage was as impossible as defeating a Rank Nine.

Therefore, in the system's evaluation, seeing Chen Mo have close contact with a large number of monster nests near the Rank Nine and still being able to return safely was truly a miracle!

It was a miracle on par with defeating a Rank Nine expert.

That's why the rewards were almost the same.

If Chen Mo's rank continued to rise, the benefits of non-killing rewards would definitely shrink.

Chen Mo had once again obtained impressive rewards, so he immediately started to open the gift package.

After all, no one else could see it.

He pretended to be playing with his phone and directly opened the S Level gift package in the semi-transparent window in front of him.

[System Prompt: Gift package opened successfully. Congratulations on obtaining the S Level item - 'Infinite Battle Suit'!]

Seeing the black latex battle suit in the semi-transparent window in front of him, Chen Mo immediately knew where this thing came from.

This is not just a certain part called "Infinite City" where you enter a small room after death and receive a black ball mission to kill the enhanced suit that appeared in the alien comic, right?

Chen Mo immediately checked the instructions for the combat suit.

If this combat suit is really the enhanced suit, it's not bad. However, Chen Mo remembers that the protective power of this thing is still relatively limited. It shouldn't be able to be rated as S Level. After all, the previous all-around protective shield, which was only A level, was able to withstand the power of a nuclear bomb.

[Infinite Battle Suit]: Based on the special modification of an alien technology-produced enhanced suit, the combat suit has greatly improved functions compared to the original version. Not only can it greatly weaken the damage suffered by the host from attacks, but it can also provide the host with extremely strong combat power. When activating the amplification function of the combat suit, it can make the host burst out with even stronger strength!

"It really has been modified by the system. I knew it shouldn't be able to reach S Level based on its original strength."

However, Chen Mo glanced at this black, tight-fitting combat suit and said helplessly, "Can't the system make this combat suit look like everyday clothing? It looks strange to wear it out like this."

[System Prompt: Although it is already the end of the world, the host still cares about their daily appearance. It shows that the host has a good survival mentality even in the end of the world, which deserves commendation. Therefore, the host is rewarded with 1000 survival points.]

"Your sister!"

Upon hearing the system's outrageous reward reason, Chen Mo was rendered speechless.

"Forget about the reward, answer my question first." He suppressed the urge to complain about the system and communicated consciously.

[System Prompt: The host can purchase the 'Shape-changing Ball'. By using this object, you can freely change your appearance. No matter what your original appearance is, others will only see the appearance changed by the shape-changing ball. Alternatively, the host can directly ignore their own state and transform into any target or image by obtaining the 'Phantom' Exotic Ability. Or, the host can freely disguise themselves by acquiring the 'Disguise' skill. The host can also obtain the ability to change appearance by acquiring the 'Chameleon Bloodline'.]

"There are really so many methods."

Chen Mo glanced at the four methods. Except for the first one, the other three methods were somewhat extravagant.

Let's not talk about the Phantom, which is an Exotic Ability that requires an Origin Core to support.

Chen Mo only has three Origin Cores in total. Even if there is a fourth one, he wouldn't be willing to give up a position for this kind of Exotic Ability. This option is obviously not within Chen Mo's consideration.

The same goes for the Disguise skill. This skill is flashy but impractical, and it also occupies a skill slot. The skill slots are already tight, and now that he has opened an expanded skill slot, the price for the second expanded skill slot is as high as 200,000 survival points. Who would be willing to use it for a decorative skill?

As for the third skill, it is even more elusive. Chen Mo has only had one chance to extract a bloodline designated by the system when his attributes reached the standard. That was considered drawing a bloodline.

After that, he hasn't seen any mention of bloodlines.

Designated exchanges for bloodlines are both expensive and trashy, and can only be obtained through opening gift packages.

With so many things that can be obtained from opening gift packages, it's not easy to get lucky and obtain a bloodline.

So this Chameleon Bloodline is completely ignored by Chen Mo.

In the end, although there seem to be four options, only the first one is feasible for Chen Mo.

Fortunately, this thing is directly available in the system store, so there's no need to rely on special reward extraction opportunities to actively exchange for it.
