I Can Level Up By Staying Idle

Chapter 79: Large-Scale Car Crash

“It’s your sorrow to be born in the same era as me!”

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Ye Yi’s speech was meant for “Black Earth”.

Of course, Lin Mo could tell.

However, not only was he not angry, but he was also very gratified. “As expected of the undisputed number one on the Xia country’s Genius List! You really didn’t disappoint me!”

Lin Mo seemed to hear a receipt notification echo in his ears: 20 million yuan has been transferred!

Why did he specially stop on the 72nd floor of the New Excellence Tower and not continue to rush up?

Wasn’t it to give Ye Yi a chance to surpass him?

Winning first place on the New Talent Tower’s historical rankings would reward an additional 20 Primordial Universe Points—this additional reward could only be obtained once under normal circumstances!

But…

Was Brother Mo normal?

Although he had already received an additional reward of 20 points, he did not mind receiving it a second time!

After all, 20 Primordial Universe Points was 20 million yuan!

‘Who hates having too much money?’

The only way for Lin Mo to obtain this additional reward a second time was to let Ye Yi surpass him in the New Talent Tower and snatch first place on the historical rankings. Then, he would go and snatch first place back!

This way, he could “reap the rewards a second time”.

Among these actions, Lin Mo’s biggest worry was whether Ye Yi would screw up.

For this reason, Lin Mo was actually a little worried the entire day. After all, this matter concerned a huge sum of 20 million yuan! Who wouldn’t be worried?

Fortunately, Ye Yi did not screw up. Not only did he complete Lin Mo’s expectations, but he also exceeded them. Ye Yi only needed to pass the 73rd floor, but he passed the 74th floor. It could be said that he was very outstanding!

As for whether Ye Yi was a little too arrogant after winning first place on the New Talent Tower’s historical rankings, Lin Mo really didn’t care!

Young people! It was normal to be arrogant! If he wasn’t arrogant, how could he be considered young?

More importantly… this young man had given him 20 million yuan! Lin Mo had no reason to blame him for his insolence!

“Haoran, I’ll go home first!”

Lin Mo told Gao Haoran and ran away.

Gao Haoran looked at Lin Mo’s departing figure and couldn’t help but mutter, “Isn’t Brother Mo always very calm? Why is he in such a hurry today? Those who don’t know better would think that he’s rushing to collect money!”

Gao Haoran really didn’t know that Lin Mo was really there to collect money!

… .

Xia country, Beijing City.

After Ye Yi obtained the throne of “first place” on the New Talent Tower’s history rankings, he quickly left the Primordial Universe and returned to the real world.

The reporters who heard the news quickly rushed to Ye Yi’s residence, wanting to conduct a live interview with him and seize the limelight.

Normally, Ye Yi would be very disgusted by reporters’ interviews. But today, he had just become “first” and was in high spirits and proud of his success… The arrival of the reporters happened to satisfy his need to show off.

If not now, when?

“Hello, Student Ye Yi!”

The live reporter had just graduated from a liberal arts university last year and was not a martial artist. She had two ponytails and looked very innocent. When she spoke, she was straightforward and did not beat around the bush.

“First of all, congratulations on being ranked first on the New Talent Tower’s historical rankings and breaking the highest record in history! The following broadcast will be broadcasted all over Xia country. Are you ready?”

“Live broadcast online?” Ye Yi was a little surprised. He had thought that it would only be broadcasted in the capital city.

An official platform and a live broadcast online would have a lot of influence!

Of course, this was what Ye Yi wanted—to show off! He had to show off!

Ye Yi immediately sat up straight and became serious. “I’m ready!”

“Alright! Then our live broadcast will officially begin!” The beautiful reporter with pigtails gestured and the filming team officially began the live broadcast. After a simple opening speech, the live broadcast camera turned to Ye Yi. “Student Ye Yi, come and greet our live audience on the Internet first!”

“Hello, everyone. I’m Ye Yi!” Ye Yi smiled proudly at the camera. His arrogance could be felt through the screen. “I just became number one on the New Talent Tower’s historical rankings. I’m looking forward to the appearance of a genius who can surpass me!”

“I’m afraid it’ll be difficult for anyone to surpass him in the next few years, right?” The pigtailed reporter said what was on his mind.

“That’s not necessarily true! Our Xia country is vast and filled with talents! In a few years, there’s still hope for such a genius to appear!” Ye Yi seemed to be humble, but anyone could tell that he was openly proud.

And Ye Yi did have the right to be proud!

After all, not only was he ranked first on the New Talent Tower’s historical rankings, but he was also ranked first on this year’s Xia country’s Genius List!

He was also the undisputed number one genius of Xia country in recent years!

Then, the twintailed reporter chatted about a few more meaningless topics before asking, “Then, Student Ye Yi, what do you think of Black Earth, who is now ranked second on the historical rankings?”

“Black Earth is very talented!” Ye Yi praised. “If I hadn’t appeared, his name might have stayed at the top of the historical list for a long time! Unfortunately… he was born at the wrong time and met me!”

Ye Yi looked like he was praising “Black Earth,” but he was actually praising himself.

Today was Ye Yi’s special show!

But then—

The twintailed reporter suddenly received a shocking news in his earpiece, and his expression changed slightly. “Student Ye Yi, I just heard that Black Earth has already cleared the 73rd floor of the New Excellence Tower!”

“What?!” Ye Yi was stunned. “Didn’t he already clear the New Talent Tower yesterday? Wasn’t his final result on the 72nd floor? How can he still clear it today?”

Wasn’t the challenge mode of the New Talent Tower limited to one attempt?

“Perhaps… Black Earth didn’t even enter the 73rd floor yesterday and chose to go offline to rest after clearing the 72nd floor?” The pigtailed reporter voiced his guess.

“You can do that?” Ye Yi was surprised, but he still looked arrogant. “But that’s just passing the 73rd floor, right?”

He had already cleared the 74th floor!

He was still first on the New Talent Tower’s history rankings!

“No!” the pigtailed reporter shouted next. “The 73rd floor was just now. He’s passed the 74th floor now! Moreover… Black Earth’s clearing speed is very fast, so although he has the same results as you on the 74th floor, he has already surpassed you and become number one on the New Talent Tower’s historical rankings!”

“What the hell!?” Ye Yi was dumbfounded.

I just took first place on the New Talent Tower’s historical rankings and started a live broadcast here to show off! In the end… after showing off for a while, you’re telling me that the “first place on the historical rankings” has been changed?

Wasn’t his “first place” a little too short?

Ye Yi’s face was filled with embarrassment!

This was simply a large-scale car crash live broadcast!

“The rules of this New Talent Tower are really unscientific!” Ye Yi’s face darkened as he found a reason for himself. “I was the one who cleared the 74th floor first, but Black Earth ended up ranked first?”

“Oh, Student Ye Yi, you don’t have to care too much about this problem!”

Perhaps because the twintailed reporter was inexperienced and not very good at talking, he directly said, “Black Earth has already passed the 75th floor!”

This handful of salt accurately sprinkled on Ye Yi’s sore spot.
