Starting Unlimited Evolution from Grinding

First, there was the situation with the points.

Lin Mo glanced at the bracelet on his wrist. The points displayed on it were an astonishing 130,499 points!

And the second place on the leaderboard only had 68,488 points. The gap was enormous.

Continuing to look down, Flora was still stuck in tenth place, her current points sitting at 43,884.

Ellie and Eve's scores were still similar, though a small gap had opened up.

Ellie had 29,300 points, while Eve had 30,293.

Sherfilia's score wasn't high, after all, she had taken the initiative to attack fewer times, so her ranking was relatively low.

As for Finnie, there was no need to even mention her.

Overall, everyone's point situation was still pretty good.

He glanced at his own status panel.

[Name]: Lin Mo

[Profession]: Warrior Lv25, Knight Lv23, Assassin Lv27, Mage Lv25, Priest Lv25, Ranger Lv27 (Paladin Lv2, Spellsword Lv2, Night Hunter Lv2)

That's right. In the past few days, his Warrior profession had increased by another 2 levels, reaching level 25, and his Assassin and Ranger professions had reached level 27! The Mage and Priest professions had also jumped 3 levels each, reaching level 25. Finally, the profession with the smallest increase was Knight, which only went from level 22 to level 23.

The improvement in his base attributes, combined with the attribute enhancements from leveling up his professions, had elevated Lin Mo's strength by more than just one step.

"Promotion conditions met. Profession Warrior (Lv23) promoted to current profession Warrior (Lv24)."

"Obtained profession attribute enhancement: Strength +18, Agility +11, Constitution +11!"

"Promotion conditions met. Profession Warrior (Lv24) promoted to current profession Warrior (Lv25)."

"Obtained profession attribute enhancement: Strength +21, Agility +12, Constitution +12!"

"Promotion conditions met. Profession Knight (Lv22) promoted to current profession Knight (Lv23)."

"Obtained profession attribute enhancement: Strength +5, Agility +5, Constitution +25!"

"Universal promotion conditions met. Profession Assassin (Lv24) promoted to current profession Assassin (Lv25)."

"Obtained profession attribute enhancement: Strength +15, Agility +23, Constitution +7!"

"Promotion conditions met. Profession Ranger (Lv24) promoted to current profession Ranger (Lv25)."

"Obtained profession attribute enhancement: Strength +12, Agility +23, Constitution +6, Spirit +4!"

"Universal promotion conditions met. Profession Mage (Lv23) promoted to current profession Mage (Lv24)."

"Obtained profession attribute enhancement: Strength +2, Agility +3, Constitution +3, Mana +23, Spirit +9!"

"Universal promotion conditions met. Profession Priest..."

A whole string of notifications, enough to make one's eyes blur.

So, towards the end, Lin Mo simply skipped past them entirely and instead looked at the overall current situation.

Except for the Spirit attribute, all attributes had reached four digits. Strength and Agility had even surpassed 1500. Conversely, the Mana attribute was lagging behind a bit.

The main reason was that, at higher levels, while the attribute enhancements from various professions usually included some Strength, Agility, and Constitution, the physical-type professions wouldn't have Mana attribute enhancements.

Based on Lin Mo's current speculation, a professional who had just reached Epic Level would have a total primary attribute of around 1400 points. This meant his Strength, Agility, and Constitution had already officially met or surpassed the Epic Level standard. His Mana was a bit lower, but not by much.

This was just from the perspective of a single attribute. In reality, with a status panel like this, Lin Mo's actual combat power was naturally far higher than those professionals who had just reached Epic Level.

Even though after Epic Level, the stat gain per level was much higher than Transcendent Level, Lin Mo's current strength definitely surpassed level 33 professionals. He could even fight level 34 or 35 opponents and wasn't guaranteed to lose. With his numerous skills and mechanical advantages, he wasn't necessarily without a chance of winning.

Put simply, while having terrifyingly high stats, he also possessed a bunch of ridiculous mechanics.

If you don't have higher stats than me, I'll just crush you with numbers. If your stats are higher than mine, I can still play with you using my mechanics and still won't necessarily lose.

If this were a game, he'd be either a whale in an RPG, or if it were a competitive game, the developers would have already been taken to the moon to catch the moon a long time ago.

And now, with the war not even half over, he had already gained such a massive boost. After this, Lin Mo still had plenty of opportunities to continue grinding proficiency and raising his levels.

Even if he couldn't charge straight to Epic Level in one go, leveling every profession to at least level 28 should be entirely achievable.

It was foreseeable that in the coming days, the goblins appearing on the battlefield would become higher and higher level. This also meant the war's situation would shift from dealing with a large number of goblin cannon fodder to having to deal with that fodder while also being wary of and stopping high-level goblins.

Even later, there might be a massive influx of high-level goblins. That would mean the Gnome Kingdom felt the timing was right and had launched their full-scale assault, ready for the decisive battle to push through their defensive lines in one wave.

At that point, using Epic Level or even Legendary Level skills would be extremely cost-effective for Lin Mo.

And coincidentally, by then, Lin Mo probably wouldn't have many skills below Epic Level left.

Overall, his strategy of grinding for proficiency during this war was absolutely correct.

After resting for a bit, everyone returned to the battlefield.

Unlike Lin Mo and his group, the suddenly increased pressure left many soldiers and adventurers on the battlefield with no room to breathe. The rotation system's effectiveness was becoming more and more limited now.

Now, the frontline was forced to retreat a certain distance almost regularly.

Under these circumstances, the goblin side also seemed to be starting their breakthrough attempts in earnest, shifting from applying pressure everywhere to adding more chips to weak points, trying to breach the defensive lines.

At this moment, the mid-tier professionals among the coalition, including Gold-level adventurer teams, mid-level military officers, and the elves, had also officially entered the fray.

It wasn't just to help stabilize the defenses. Their more important job, coordinated through the Command Center's information, was to support the areas being targeted as breakthrough points at the fastest speed, preventing the Gnome Kingdom's elite squads from opening a gap in the lines.

As the captain of the Silver Radiance Team, Lin Mo naturally also received messages from the Adventurers' Association via mana terminals.

Of course, Lin Mo had no reason to refuse these...

Weren't these locations in urgent need of support just a big, juicy piece of meat delivered right to his mouth?

By simply following the instructions from the Command Center, he could save himself the trouble of searching for high-level goblins.

However, because the battlefield situation was incredibly complex, and as the war situation deteriorated, the number of personnel who could disengage from combat to focus on command wasn't that high. So, information synchronization wasn't always fast, and occasionally, distress signals from the same area would be sent to two or even three different groups at once.

Fortunately, the Gnome Kingdom was just starting its breakthrough attempts. The pressure on the rescue squads wasn't too high, and there weren't that many areas needing rescue. This prevented situations where teams duplicated their efforts, leading to some areas not receiving support.

However, it did cause quite a few mix-ups. Among the many rescue squads heading to the same location, some friction and conflict were inevitable. If it were just ordinary adventurer teams, it might be fine. But if both sides were participants in this Genius Gathering, the situation wouldn't be so pleasant.

Everyone was a competitor, and at this stage, it was a perfect opportunity to quickly earn points. Naturally, no one was willing to waste time and suffer a loss.

They wouldn't go so far as to start fighting directly, but there were many instances of stealing kills.

Fortunately, the Roxez Empire reacted quickly, sending many mid-level command personnel to stabilize the situation. These people would arrive soon, and by then, this chaotic situation would improve a lot.

Lin Mo still chose not to act together with Ellie and the others. After all, splitting up was more efficient. Everyone needed points, and bunching up to go to one place was a terrible waste of time.

Besides, with the Life Contract in place, he didn't need to worry about their safety.

Currently, the elite squads sent by the Gnome Kingdom weren't that powerful. They were mostly led by a few Gold Goblins, followed by some Silver and Bronze Goblins, along with Mutated Goblins and Giant Goblins.

These elite squads posed a huge threat to the low-level adventurers and soldiers on the front line, but for the support personnel on the human side, they weren't much to worry about.

Following the information provided by the Association, Lin Mo quickly rushed towards a frontline area that was under attack by an elite squad nearby.

He was incredibly fast. The goblins along the way couldn't even see his shadow, only feeling a sudden, strong gust of wind, which incidentally took care of many ordinary goblins.

"I'm here!"

Soon, Lin Mo spotted the area under attack ahead.

Led by five Gold Goblins, the losses on that section of the line were already severe. Hundreds of soldiers' corpses lay on the ground, and nearby adventurers were fleeing in panic.

Just as Lin Mo was about to make his move, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Lin Mo, who had just begun to draw his sword, was momentarily stunned. Then, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Just as he had expected... with this kind of excitement, there was no way she would be willing to leave.

The young woman slammed her staff hard against the ground. Transparent ripples spread outwards. In the next moment, the Gold Goblins, which had been so arrogant moments before, were instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

"Heh, you filthy creatures... go to hell!"

As her voice fell, a gigantic, invisible hand reached out from beneath the ground, slapping towards the Gold Goblins.

A flash of sword light suddenly streaked across.

"Shing—"

The heads of those Gold Goblins were cleanly sliced off in an instant.

[Twin Dragon Flash] Proficiency +150

[Twin Dragon Flash] Proficiency +130

...

Nuolun was stunned for a moment. Then, her face immediately turned cold, looking as if she had swallowed gunpowder, and she glared over.

"Which blind fool dares to steal this... young... lady's... kill..."

She started out blazing with fury, but gradually, her expression froze. In the end, she couldn't even get her words out straight, shrinking her neck like a cat that had seen a rat.

"Long time no see, Miss Noren."

Lin Mo casually swung his sword, obliterating the remaining Silver Goblins and Bronze Goblins. Then, with a smile on his face, he walked towards Nuolun.

That maid with the explosive figure also appeared behind her.

Nuolun's eyelid twitched violently, her fists clenched tightly within her sleeves. She hurriedly said, "Ah... yeah, what a coincidence. Since it's you, for Finnie's sake, this young lady will let you off the hook for stealing my kill... The battlefield situation is unpredictable, and there are other places needing rescue. Bye-bye!"

Having said that, she had Shirleyas grab her and run off at full speed.

However, after running a short distance and just catching her breath, Lin Mo suddenly appeared in front of them.

Shirleyas's pupils constricted, a look of shock appearing in her eyes.

When had he gotten in front of them?... She hadn't seen a thing!

Just as the recent intelligence reports had indicated, this guy's strength had undergone a terrifying increase compared to before, completely surpassing her own now.

"Young Mistress, we can't outrun him."

She reported this unfortunate news to Nuolun with certainty.

Nuolun's face instantly turned ashen. Watching Lin Mo approach, she hid behind Shirleyas, revealing only half of her head. "You... what do you want?"

"Yeah, I want to."

Lin Mo nodded. "But, it's not the right time yet."

He couldn't very well just grab her and throw her into his Portable Space right here on the battlefield, could he?

Besides, in the game of cat and mouse, ending the match right away would take all the fun out of it.

Lin Mo squinted his eyes. "Miss Noren, if I remember correctly, when we parted last time, you said that the next time we met, you would give me a good, thorough beating?"

"I..."

Nuolun rolled her eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.

Of course, that was what she had thought back then. Who knew this freak would improve his strength so much in such a short time.

He had even, even...

She really didn't know what her mother was thinking!

"Why are you afraid of me?"

The smile on Lin Mo's face grew even warmer. "Miss Noren, it seems you've found out about something?"

"Wh... what are you talking about?"

Nuolun blinked, putting on an act of being an innocent little girl.

"Noren has no idea what you mean~"

"It's fine. Whether you know or not doesn't really matter. After all, it's an order from the family, right?"

Lin Mo reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Nuolun, you wouldn't want to disobey your family's orders and disappoint your mother, would you?"

Nuolun's entire body trembled. She didn't resist, instead forcing a stiff smile. "Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Noren doesn't understand..."

To escape, she even called him brother-in-law?

Lin Mo patted her shoulder. "Don't be nervous... How about we play a game?"

"What game?"

This time, her reply was quick and straightforward, not even bothering to keep up the act.

"It's a very simple game. We'll separate now and act on our own... and then, right here on this battlefield, if we happen to run into each other three more times, you'll obediently listen and complete the task your family assigned you. How about that? On the other hand, if we don't run into each other again, then it means there's no fate between us, and I can communicate with your mother to have her retract the order. What do you think?"

"No problem! It's a deal!"

Nuolun's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded. Then, as if afraid Lin Mo might change his mind, she quickly grabbed Shirleyas and fled in panic.

Lin Mo watched their retreating figures, the smile on his lips growing increasingly deep.

"Running into each other"?

He wasn't that kind-hearted.

This disobedient, naughty little girl wouldn't escape his grasp...
