Through the mail, Ling Xue collected all sixteen pieces of equipment with one click, including full eight-piece sets for both the Soul Archer and Knight classes.
"Lin Mo, hurry and change equipment!"
Lin Mo turned around and saw Ling Xue handing him two equipment sets.
But the moment Lin Mo took the equipment and looked at it, he was stunned.
Because he discovered that these were actually two sets of level 50 tier-5 equipment.
And they were complete full-set equipment sets.
More importantly, the two sets were for the Soul Archer and Knight classes respectively. They were clearly custom-made for him and his pet Strong-Maned Pig.
Lin Mo suddenly remembered that this morning, Ling Xue had sent him a message saying she would give him a surprise tonight.
'Are these two equipment sets the surprise Ling Xue mentioned back then?'
But this surprise was too unbelievable.
'The blacksmiths in Inferno City can only forge tier-4 equipment at most for now. And at this stage, most level 5 Boss areas in the entire city require at least Silver rank to enter.'
Looking at the two tier-5 equipment sets in his hands, Lin Mo said in disbelief, "Where did President Ling get these two tier-5 equipment sets?"
Fortunately, Lin Mo's reaction after receiving the equipment did not disappoint Ling Xue.
It made her feel that everything she had done for Lin Mo had not been wasted.
"Don't worry about that."
Ling Xue said to Lin Mo, "Hurry and change equipment. After changing, see if we can break through!"
"Okay."
Lin Mo did not think too much about it.
He was not especially moved either.
Because in his view, Ling Xue forging these two top-tier tier-5 equipment sets that were impossible to buy at this stage was only so he could gain enough strength to help her clear this Dragon Hall secret realm.
So Lin Mo started working on the equipment.
Although every piece was tier 5, the quality was somewhat lacking.
Most were blue and purple quality.
Not bad, but, compared to Lin Mo's standards, they were far from enough.
There were only eight minutes left before the secret realm ended.
Lin Mo no longer bothered hiding it.
Right in front of Ling Xue, he directly used the SSS-grade talent Soul Flame.

Whoosh!
As golden flames burned in Lin Mo's hand, the bow that originally gave off blue light instantly transformed into a golden Thunder Crossbow.
At that moment, surprise flashed through Ling Xue's eyes.
The next second, the shock in her eyes turned into excitement.
"You really do have the ability to strengthen equipment into gold quality."
Actually, from the moment Lin Mo and his pet constantly wore full gold equipment no matter where or when, Ling Xue had already suspected that Lin Mo possessed the ability to strengthen equipment.
And now, the truth proved that her guess was correct.
Every time after evolving equipment, Lin Mo would refine more equipment and keep his equipment evolution points at around the million level.
Next, Lin Mo started evolving the rest of the equipment too.

[Ding~ One-click evolution for level 50 tier-5 blue equipment · Thunder Boots, consuming 15,000 equipment evolution points. Congratulations, Thunder Boots has evolved into gold-quality Phantom World · Thunder Battle Boots!]
Just as Lin Mo had finished evolving the third piece of equipment—
Boom!
A sudden loud explosion rang out.
Outside the hall, a huge fireball crashed down and released a powerful shockwave, instantly blasting Strong-Maned Pig, who was guarding outside the hall, away.
Looking over, Lin Mo finally saw that after failing to break through for so long, the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon seemed unable to stay patient anymore and had personally come over.
With one cast of [Dragon Explosion Technique], the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon easily destroyed the defensive line.
Outside the hall, large groups of Death Guards rushed in.
At the critical moment, a figure swept past Lin Mo.
Lin Mo raised his head and saw Ling Xue holding a magic scroll as she charged decisively into the Dead Servant army.
Turning back to look at Lin Mo, Ling Xue smiled and shouted, "Lin Dummy! You have to kill the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon and clear the secret realm!"
"Because that's the surprise I want to give you!"
'What does she mean?'
'Isn't the surprise these two equipment sets?'
'Is there something else?'
Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, the moment Ling Xue was swallowed by the Dead Servant army, she crushed the magic scroll in her hand.
Crash!
The instant the magic scroll shattered, a gray-white light spread outward in all directions.
The next second, all the Death Guards pierced by the light, including the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, entered a petrified state.
Only Lin Mo and Strong-Maned Pig, whom Ling Xue had chosen as protected targets, were not petrified.
"This is… the A-grade magic scroll, Medusa's Eye!"
Although his strength in his previous life had been trash, he had at least seen a lot.
Memories related to this magic scroll immediately appeared in Lin Mo's mind.
Its effect was to petrify all enemies within a 300-yard radius.
Targets in petrified state could neither move nor be attacked.
Using this magic scroll normally caused ten seconds of petrification.
If the user sacrificed their own life, the petrification duration could be tripled to thirty seconds.
And the moment Ling Xue used [Medusa's Eye], her body also turned into a beam of white light and disappeared outside the hall.
Clearly, Ling Xue had activated the sacrifice.
Lin Mo's mind stirred slightly, 'For success, she can sacrifice everything… including herself?'
Lin Mo did not dwell on it too much.
Taking advantage of the thirty seconds Ling Xue bought for him by petrifying all the monsters, Lin Mo immediately evolved all the equipment.
[Ding~ One-click evolution… Congratulations, you obtained the gold-quality Phantom World · Thunder Saint Ring!]
[Ding~ One-click evolution… Congratulations, you obtained the gold-quality Phantom World · Thunder Belt!]
[Ding…]
[Ding~ One-click evolution… Congratulations, you obtained the gold-quality Peerless · Bloodbath Long Spear!]
[Ding~ One-click evolution… Congratulations, you obtained the gold-quality Peerless · Bloodbath King Armor!]
[Ding…]
Anyone who used one-click evolution knew how fast it was.
In only twenty seconds, Lin Mo evolved both sets, all sixteen pieces of equipment, into gold quality.
Level 50 tier-5 Soul Archer full gold Phantom World · Thunder Set!
Level 50 tier-5 Knight full gold Peerless · Bloodbath Set!
There were still ten seconds of petrification left.
Without another word, Lin Mo instantly equipped the [Phantom World · Thunder Set] onto himself with one click.
At the same time, he instantly equipped the [Peerless · Bloodbath Set] onto Black Gold · Strong-Maned Pig.
Opening the status panel for a look, he saw all attributes rising at an explosive rate that made his blood boil.
