No matter how outsiders judged Gao Han, even if he truly had once been a kept man who rose to power by killing his wife and became the current President Gao of Golden Age Group, there was no doubt that Golden Age, this major guild with three thousand members, was an alliance worthy of Lin Mo's attention.
And the original purpose behind Lin Mo sending out the clone this time was mainly to recruit Zhao Lingyun by changing her fate, while also seeing whether there was a chance to form an alliance with the Golden Age Guild.
And right now, this was the perfect opportunity.
'As long as the clone can become a vice guild leader of the Golden Age Guild, then in the future, I'll have a voice inside Golden Age Guild.'
'I'll be able to mobilize a three-thousand-member guild for my own use anytime.'
But without question, the request Lin Mo expressed directly through the clone immediately caused widespread doubt within the Golden Age Guild, "No way, bro! You just joined our Golden Age Guild and already want to become vice guild leader?"
"I admit you're strong, but isn't this too rushed?"
"Taking advantage of our difficult situation to climb up? Big brother, isn't this basically taking advantage of us?"
Amid all the questioning, only Gao Han seriously considered Mo's request.
"Power and position have always belonged to the capable."
"If you have the ability, then naturally you can take the role."
Gao Han said, "I promise you. As long as you deal with the Ironblood Guild people inside the Undead Bone Capital, it won't be because I promoted you, but because you have the ability to become vice guild leader of my Golden Age Guild."
To be fair, Gao Han repeated to all the Golden Age players present, "Of course, if any of you can accomplish what I asked for, you can also be promoted to vice guild leader of Golden Age Guild. From then on, you'll be beneath only me and above ten thousand."
The moment these words came out, everyone instantly fell silent.
After all, they really couldn't fight one against a hundred.
If they entered the Undead Bone Capital alone, it would clearly just be giving away a free kill.
Among the crowd, only one person stepped forward.
"I'll go in with you."
Through the clone's shared vision, Lin Mo looked at the speaker: Zhao Lingyun.
"This operation is very dangerous. There's a high chance you could die in there."
Zhao Lingyun's gaze was firm and resolute, "I'm not afraid!"
Among everyone present, Zhao Lingyun was the only one who was truly worried about Mo.
And her attitude at this moment clearly proved: she was already prepared to live and die together with Mo, to share honor and disgrace alike.
Seeing this through the clone's vision, Lin Mo felt very gratified.
'Looks like my efforts for you weren't wasted.'
Mo said to Zhao Lingyun, "Your rank isn't high enough. Wait outside for me."
It turned out Zhao Lingyun's strength was average, so even now her rank was only Black Iron Rank 2.
Even using three rank boost scrolls, she could only temporarily raise her rank to Black Iron Rank 5, still not meeting the minimum Bronze Rank 1 requirement to enter the Undead Bone Capital.
Meanwhile, when setting the clone's custom rank, to make it look normal, Lin Mo had set it at Black Iron Rank 4 according to the standards of first-line players on Inferno City's rank leaderboard.
With only two rank boost scrolls, he could temporarily raise the rank to Bronze Rank 1.
Thus, after using rank boosts to raise the clone's rank to Bronze Rank 1, the next moment, under everyone's gaze, he stepped into the Undead Bone Capital.
Seeing this scene, Ironblood Guild vice leader, the Magic Knight Ironblood Nemesis, who was guarding the Advanced Arena, immediately tagged all members in the guild chat and ordered, ["Mo has entered the Undead Bone Capital alone. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All brothers currently inside the Undead Bone Capital must kill Mo in there. Don't let him leave alive!"]
["As long as Mo dies, the rest of Golden Age Guild won't matter anymore. Then no one will be able to take the Undead Arena from us again, and the treasures inside the Undead Bone Capital will belong only to our Ironblood Guild."]
The moment those words were sent, the guild chat instantly exploded with responses: ["Received!"]
Watching Mo's figure gradually enter the Undead Bone Capital, another Ironblood Guild vice leader, the Berserker Ironblood Mission, said coldly, "You actually dare charge into the Undead Bone Capital alone? Just because you won a few matches in the arena, you really think you're invincible now?"
"There are over a hundred brothers from our Ironblood Guild inside the Undead Bone Capital. I refuse to believe that no matter how capable you are, one man can beat more than a hundred people."
For a moment, the focus of all the surrounding players wasn't even on the arena anymore.
Everyone's attention instantly shifted toward the Undead Bone Capital.
Clearly, they were all curious and looking forward to it.
In this battle where a single man would face hundreds, who would come out alive in the end, Mo or the Ironblood Guild players?
But they were only treating it as entertainment. No matter who won or lost, they didn't really care.
The only person truly worried about Mo was Zhao Lingyun.
Staring at Mo entering the city, Zhao Lingyun silently prayed in her heart, 'Mo, you have to come out alive.'
———
At the same time, inside the Undead Bone Capital—
The Ironblood Guild players who had originally been scattered throughout the city killing Undead Warriors and searching for treasures had already gathered at the city's only entrance under vice leader Ironblood Mission's orders.
The moment Lin Mo controlled the clone and entered the city—
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
From all directions, the hundred or so Ironblood Guild players who had long been lying in ambush immediately surrounded him.
More than a hundred pairs of eyes stared at Mo.
"Hearing the arena guys hype him up so much, I thought he was some kind of god. Doesn't look like he has three heads and six arms to me."
"Yeah, he just looks like an ordinary man. Is he really that strong?"
"So what if he is? No matter how strong he is, can one man really fight this many of us?"
"He really doesn't take our Ironblood Guild seriously! Brothers, let this kid see the strength of our Ironblood Guild."
"Kill him!"
Amid the shouts, the hundred or so Ironblood Guild players around him all drew their weapons.
At the same time, a cold light flashed through Mo's eyes.
Crash!
A white barrier formed beside Mo.
The next second—
BOOM!
A gigantic claw stepped out from the barrier.
Immediately after, a fierce tiger covered in purple lightning with sharp fangs walked out from within the barrier.
ROAR!
The moment it opened its massive bloody mouth, an earth-shaking roar burst out, forcing all the surrounding Ironblood Guild players to retreat repeatedly as endless fear rose in their hearts.
"Holy shit! What kind of pet is that?"
"Why have I never seen this kind of pet before?"
"Wasn't this guy supposed to not have a pet? He fought hundreds of matches in the arena without summoning one. Why's he suddenly summoning it now?"
Just as the Ironblood players looked at each other in confusion, ["Kill."]
"Kill."
Following Lin Mo's remote command, the Ancestral-grade Earthshaker: Tiger King let out a heaven-shaking roar.
The next moment, with a force like it could swallow the world, it charged toward the outer crowd.
