Chen Mo looked at Yellow Hair with some surprise.

He hadn't expected this guy to come over and apologize.

You have to admit, this guy knows when to bend and when to stand tall.

"I still prefer your defiant attitude from earlier," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I remember you guys wanted to take me on just now. Come on, I have time now!"

"No, bro!" Yellow Hair's face turned pale with fright, and he dropped to his knees with a thud.

"Bro! I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I won't dare do it again."

Thinking of Chen Mo's sword strike that dealt 36 points of damage to the zombie, if he really took a hit, with his current health, he'd owe the guy more than ten points of health.

The other three saw Yellow Hair kneeling and quickly followed suit, "Bro, we were really wrong! We won't dare do it again."

At this moment, the eyes of others turned towards them.

They hadn't expected Yellow Hair, who was so defiant just now, to become so cowardly.

But seeing Chen Mo, they could understand.

This wasn't cowardice; it was recognizing the situation.

Chen Mo's terrifying damage filled everyone present with fear.

Facing Chen Mo, begging for mercy didn't seem like a shameful thing. After all, pride isn't as important as life.

Looking at the few people kneeling and begging for mercy, Chen Mo shook his head, then turned and walked away.

Since they hadn't intended to take his life before, he'd spare them for their sincere apology.

"Wait..."

Seeing Chen Mo about to leave, Zhou Fei quickly stood up.

"Uh... classmate, I still don't know your name."

"Chen Mo!" Chen Mo replied flatly.

"Chen Mo, why don't we follow you? From now on, you'll be our big brother!"

Previously, Zhou Fei wanted Chen Mo to team up with them, but now it was different. Now he just wanted to cling to this powerful ally.

"Yes, yes! Big brother, from now on, you're our big brother. If you tell us to go east, we won't go west!" Yellow Hair immediately chimed in.

He also realized that the other party didn't intend to kill them, which relieved him. Hearing Zhou Fei's suggestion, he quickly agreed. If they could cling to this powerful ally, they wouldn't have to worry about not rising up.

However, Chen Mo just waved his hand and left without looking back.

He didn't want to carry so much dead weight.

Although more people meant more strength, for him, more people meant more trouble.

Seeing Chen Mo leave without looking back, everyone showed disappointment on their faces.

"Well, it's true, why would someone so strong look at us," Zhou Fei said with a bitter smile.

"We're not bad either; I have a Purple Talent," Yellow Hair said indignantly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, even with a Purple Talent, you still got scared to your knees."

"That guy is a freak; you'd kneel too if you were in my shoes!"

"I wouldn't be stupid enough to offend him."

"I didn't fucking know he was such a freak. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dared even with a hundred guts," Yellow Hair said bitterly.

"By the way, what level is his talent? I remember there was only an Orange Talent at the time, but why do I feel like Li Minglei, who got the Orange Talent, isn't as fierce as him?"

"How would I know? The whole sky was full of light back then. Who can guarantee there weren't other high-level talents?"

"True, maybe there were other Orange Talents that people didn't notice, and he just happened to absorb them. With his attack strength, it's at least an Orange Talent."

"Yeah." Zhou Fei nodded in agreement, then glanced at Yellow Hair's team and said:

"I see your team only has four people. Why don't we form a team?"

"Sure, but I want to be the captain!" Yellow Hair said directly.

"That's not happening; you can play by yourself," Zhou Fei rejected decisively.

"I have a Purple Talent!"

"So what if you have a Purple Talent? Your team isn't doing well, not mine. If I weren't worried about encountering another situation with multiple zombies, I wouldn't bother taking you."

"I..."

"Then can I be the vice-captain?"

"That can be arranged."

"Hey, can you guys take us with you?" A chubby guy came over at this time.

Zhou Fei looked at the other team's lineup, then nodded, "Alright."

They had been through life and death together, so there was some level of trust.

Sometimes, having more people meant more strength, allowing them to fight several monsters at once, and the leveling speed wouldn't be too slow.

Of course, there couldn't be too many people, like a large group, or they'd attract a beast tide, and that would be the end.

On the other side...

After leaving the group, Chen Mo went to a quiet place alone and immediately checked his talent.

Current Energy: 16

Seeing this number, a smile appeared on Chen Mo's face.

This wave, a huge profit!

Chen Mo thought for a moment, then silently chanted in his mind, "Sacrifice!"

"Please select the amount of energy to sacrifice."

"10 points." Chen Mo didn't sacrifice it all at once; he wanted to keep some in reserve.

Ten points, just enough to hit double digits, should yield something good.

Soon, a prompt sounded in his mind:

"Sacrifice successful! Congratulations, you have obtained a White Skill Book *1"

As the prompt ended, an ancient book suddenly appeared in Chen Mo's hand.

"A skill!!?"

Chen Mo's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the skill book in his hand.

Having read the game introduction multiple times, Chen Mo knew how rare skills were in this game.

If the drop rate for equipment was 1%, then the drop rate for skills was only one in ten thousand.

Only by killing a BOSS could you possibly get a skill book; the chance of a regular monster dropping a skill book was lower than winning the lottery.

Chen Mo quickly checked the skill book in his hand.

[Sword Qi Slash]: Single-target attack skill, Quality: White.

Consumes 10 mana points to unleash a sword qi, dealing (60 + 105% Attack Power) physical attack to a single target within a two-meter range. Cooldown: 6 seconds. Learning requirement: Strength reaches 10 points.

White quality skills are the lowest tier, and their strength is indeed average.

However...

For players at this stage, this skill is undoubtedly a god-tier skill.

Chen Mo looked at the skill book in his hand, and even someone as composed as him couldn't help but get excited.

When no one else has skills, having a skill basically makes you an invincible existence.

Chen Mo thought about learning the skill book immediately, but seeing the learning requirement, his face showed an awkward expression.

The learning requirement is a Strength of 10 points, and he currently has only 9 points, just one point short.

"No worries, I still have 6 points of energy, which should be enough to draw out 1 attribute point."
