Chapter 213: Chapter 203: A Perfunctory Reason

The first thing Tang Mo did when she woke up was check the time on her ID Watch.

But this time, she discovered more than a dozen messages piled up on her watch, which usually never received any.

’What major event has happened now?’ Tang Mo’s heart skipped a beat.

The last time this happened was when a golden icon appeared next to her name after she tamed Jingjing.

She thought back to how she had just fused with that Spirit Light Ball yesterday, how her Spirit Attribute Value had grown exponentially...

Tang Mo sucked in a sharp breath. Without looking at a single message, she went straight to the rankings page.

Her name, Tang Mo, was right there in the first row.

First Place: Tang Mo, attribute value 12256 points.

It broke ten thousand?!!!!

Tang Mo was stunned, feeling as if countless little people were roaring inside her head.

’Am I still asleep? How is this possible? Am I dreaming?!’

She rubbed her eyes and looked again.

First Place: Tang Mo, attribute value 12256 points.

It hadn’t changed.

Looking further down, she saw Second Place: Qin Ling, attribute value 7558 points.

Qin Ling’s attribute value hadn’t changed too drastically since the last time Tang Mo checked; it was a steady increase.

But the last time she’d looked at her own attribute value was back in Sand Town, and that was to compare it with Lin Yu’s.

She remembered her own attribute value at that time was 1715 points!

Tang Mo had an excellent memory and immediately recalled her previous attribute value.

There was no way she was mistaken.

’To increase by more than ten thousand points in such a short time... don’t tell me that Spiritual Light Ball I absorbed yesterday was worth ten thousand points?’

Although the idea of the Spiritual Light Ball being worth ten thousand points was terrifying, when she recalled the immense spiritual power from yesterday, Tang Mo felt it wasn’t entirely impossible.

Closing the rankings page and opening her own attribute page, Tang Mo quickly confirmed her suspicion.

ID: Tang Mo

Life Value: 296

Strength Value: 375

Agility: 489

Spiritual Power: 11096

Space: 0

Overall Strength: 12256

’Looks like I was right. That Spirit Light Ball added nearly ten thousand points to my spiritual power.’

Lately, her training had been focused on Strength and Agility, so her spiritual power shouldn’t have increased by this much.

Now that her spiritual power had broken the ten-thousand mark, it was obvious it came from that light ball.

In her previous life, before Tang Mo died, only Qin Ling’s attribute value had ever broken ten thousand. There had been no one else.

But in her past life, the ID Watches had never gone out of control, nor had there been any mention of mysterious emails or light balls for five different attributes.

She wondered if it was the butterfly effect from her rebirth, but many things in this life had become bizarre.

The world also seemed to be growing more dangerous and vast, its true nature unknown.

This one light ball had provided ten thousand attribute points. The five kinds of light balls corresponded to five attributes.

If each of the five attributes increased by ten thousand points, she couldn’t even begin to imagine how terrifyingly powerful she would become.

Having no idea how to explain her sudden surge in strength, Tang Mo simply didn’t reply to any of the messages.

Even she wouldn’t believe that gaining ten thousand points overnight wasn’t suspicious.

However, dealing with outsiders was one thing; her family would be much harder.

When Tang Mo finished getting ready and came downstairs, she saw Uncle Wen, her mother, and Xiao Tao holding Yangyang. The four of them were sitting ramrod straight in the living room, waiting for her.

The room was silent and extremely serious.

Tang Mo cautiously sat on the sofa opposite them, feeling like a criminal being interrogated.

"Momo, how did you suddenly shoot up to first place? I told you to work hard and improve your strength to protect yourself, but you can’t rush your growth by using those drugs that rapidly increase attribute values."

The first one to speak was Lin Yi.

She had, after all, spent time at the Alliance center and had heard plenty about those unorthodox methods for raising attribute values.

But if you used those things, your attribute value would go up, but your actual strength wouldn’t increase much. Moreover, the damage to your body was irreversible, so very few people actually used them.

Her Momo wouldn’t do something so foolish, right?

Wen Jianshu and Xiao Tao’s eyes were fixed on Tang Mo.

Clearly, they were also curious as to why Tang Mo’s strength had increased so much overnight.

In their minds, Tang Mo didn’t seem like the type of person to use forbidden drugs.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Of course I wouldn’t use that kind of stuff. I was training so intently yesterday, I’m not sure what happened. I passed out, and when I woke up, I was like this..."

Tang Mo said, embarrassed.

Her embarrassment was entirely because the excuse she’d made up was so clumsy.

Fortunately, her predicament didn’t last long...

Soon, a man dressed as a guard rushed in and whispered something in Wen Jianshu’s ear.

Wen Jianshu’s expression changed the moment he heard it.

"Momo, protect your mother and younger brother. I have to go out."

Then he hurried out with the guard, not even having time to change his clothes.

’Protect my mother and younger brother?’

’Did something happen to the Wen Family? That can’t be. With Qin Ling around, nothing major should happen to the Wen Family.’

’Then... did something happen at the base?’

Tang Mo sent a message to Qin Ling:

Tang Mo: [Did something happen at the base?]

After Tang Mo sent the message, a long moment passed before Qin Ling’s reply came.

Qin Ling: [It’s nothing. Just stay at home and be good. Don’t go out.]

Qin Ling’s words immediately confirmed it for Tang Mo: something had happened at the base.

Not knowing what it was, Tang Mo grew a little panicked and immediately had the housekeeper gather all the Wen Family guards.

"Fall back and form two defensive perimeters! Protect the Wen Family’s main building with everything you have!"

"Lao San, what happened at the base?"

The base’s security was all managed by Lao San, so asking him now was the most appropriate thing to do.

"Sister-in-law, the base’s Spiritual Ability Users just detected a large number of mutant beasts heading this way. It looks like a beast siege."

Seeing the call from his boss’s wife, Lao San didn’t dare to be neglectful and told her everything, holding nothing back.

The poor guy obviously had no idea that his boss didn’t want to tell his wife about this.

"A beast siege? Is the scale particularly large this time?"

Wherever people gathered, mutant beasts would eventually be drawn in waves over time.

For a densely populated place like S Base, beast sieges were nothing new; they happened on average once a month.

This time, judging by the attitudes of Uncle Wen and Qin Ling, it didn’t seem as simple as a normal beast siege.

"The scale isn’t actually that large, probably around a hundred or so. But according to the Spiritual Ability User on lookout, this batch of mutant beasts is of a very high level. They’re all Advanced Mutant Beasts, and there’s even a beast that appeared that’s stronger than an Advanced Mutant Beast!"

Lao San said, his voice still laced with fear.

A normal siege usually consisted of one or a few Advanced Mutant Beasts leading low-level mutant beasts to attack the base.

This was the first time they had ever seen a situation like this, where all the attackers were Advanced Mutant Beasts, with an even more terrifying existence among them.
