After signing for the delivery, Ye Mo impatiently opened the package.
Two flowers with sharp teeth, pitch-black, and looking like a human face, soon entered Ye Mo's view.
This was the "Outer Path Demon Abyss Grass," the two missing materials for crafting the divine artifact.
On Taotao Net, Ye Mo could only buy these two flowers.
After all, materials involving divine artifacts rarely circulated.
Most of them would only appear at auctions.
Only those in special need of money would sell them online.
Therefore, the quantity was relatively small, reaching a point where there was a price but no supply.
Ye Mo was also lucky to have found this auxiliary material.
While opening the "Equipment Crafting" page.
A small cauldron appeared out of thin air in front of him.

——————————————————
Soon, the option to craft equipment appeared before his eyes. Ye Mo clicked 'Confirm' without hesitation.
Shua la la!
From his backpack, countless materials turned into streams of light and flew out.
After staying in the air for only a moment, they flew into the small cauldron with a 'swoosh swoosh swoosh'.
Pfft!
Orange flames ignited at the bottom of the small cauldron, continuously roasting the cauldron's body.
——————————————————
[Forging in progress... Please wait...]
[Estimated waiting time: 3 hours]
——————————————————
A system notification appeared before Ye Mo's eyes, and there was even a countdown.
"This timing... By the time it's done, my sister should be leaving school. At that time, I'll have her come over directly to witness the birth of her precious divine artifact."
Ye Mo nodded, feeling this was a very good idea.
So he gave Ye Xiaoxiao a call.
"My dear sister, come to my place for dinner. I just happen to be forging a weapon for you right now. Right! My office has moved. I'm living in a dormitory now, just..."
Ye Mo gave her an address, then hung up the phone.
On the other side.
In a spacious high-rise flat.
"Mmh~"
A soft whimper echoed in the bedroom.
Jiang Linyue's brow was furrowed tightly as she lightly bit her pink, moist, red lips.
Lying on her side on the soft, large bed, her graceful body was curled up, sweat drenching her Pikachu pajamas.
Her slender palm was pressed against the glowing magic crest below her lower abdomen, as if she were enduring some unspeakable torment.

——————————————————
After comfortably passing the three-day holiday from the last mission, Jiang Linyue received a new magic crest mission three days later.
Undoubtedly, the difficulty this time was unprecedented!
Jiang Linyue didn't even grind dungeons anymore, just staying at home all day while agonizingly passing this long 24 hours.
Or rather, in her current state, she was even trembling when she walked.
Her entering a dungeon now was suicide!
"In another 20 seconds... I can go find him to relieve the side effect."
A blush appeared on Jiang Linyue's pretty face, and the hair on her forehead was also a bit damp.
Continuously exhaling white breath, her beautiful eyes stared at the countdown on the system.
[20... 19... 18...]
The five-fold side effect made every second feel like a year to her.
When there were only 15 seconds left on the countdown, she tremblingly took out her phone…
And quickly typed a message to Ye Mo.
Jiang Linyue: Where are you now?
Ding-dong!
A dozen seconds later, a message came to her phone.
Ye Mo: At the staff dormitory you arranged. What's up?
'Whoosh!'
Seeing the reply, Jiang Linyue waved a single hand.
"Sword Control Technique!"
The long sword placed in the living room flew over quickly.
Jiang Linyue stepped on it, directly pushed open the window with her true qi, and turned into a meteor, soaring into the sky.
At this moment, she couldn't be bothered with any "No-fly Zone" order.
At worst, it was just a fine and some demerit points.
Compared to her physical condition, it was nothing at all!
New Mo Xiao Office Dormitory.
Kitchen.
Ye Mo, who was wearing an apron, looked at his phone with a puzzled expression.
Seeing no further message from Jiang Linyue, he simply ignored it and continued to stew his ribs in peace.
As a celebration for moving into the new dormitory, it was only natural to have some staff team building.
Right now, in their office, only Ye Xiaoxiao was missing.
Ding-dong!
Coincidentally, at this moment, the doorbell rang.
"Meng Li, watch the pot for me, and by the way, taste the ribs to see if they’re salty enough. I'll go get the door."
Saying that, Ye Mo took off his apron and walked straight to the living room.
"Oh, o... okay, Mr. Agent."
Meng Li immediately put down her work of washing vegetables, trotted over with a small stool, and stood on it.
Only then did she pick up the soup spoon, barely reaching the soup in the pot, and took a simple taste.
A blissful umami flavor filled her mouth, making the little girl squint her eyes instantly, extremely enjoying it.
'I didn't expect that...'
'Mr. Agent's cooking skills are so good!'
On the other side.
Ye Mo walked to the entrance and opened the door with a 'click'.
Soon.
A familiar, pretty figure stood gracefully in front of him.
"You're here. Then come in. Take a good look at your brother's big mansion."
Ye Mo opened the door with a proud face, showing off.
"No, Old Mo, you're awesome! At first, I thought I went to the wrong place and didn't even dare to knock."
Ye Xiaoxiao strode in with her long, straight, white-stockinged, beautiful legs, walking into the house with a shocked face.
After sizing up the dormitory environment for a while, Ye Xiaoxiao swept her gaze back to Ye Mo and said suspiciously.
"Where did you get so much money? You didn't do some sugar mommy transaction and latch onto some rich woman, did you!?"
Ye Mo choked, touched his nose guiltily, and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about!? Am I that kind of person? Didn't I just find an investor? They saw my excellence and realized that I'm a real talent.
Not only did they arrange the best-located office and dormitory for me, but there's also a hundred thousand yuan in funding every week."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned for a long while.
'Holy crap!'
'One hundred thousand a week?'
'And such a good location!?'
'Has my brother latched onto a top-ranking whale's leg?'
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately revealed a fawning smile.
She looked at Ye Mo and said with a grin.
"Um... Brother, I've seen you as smart since we were little, and I knew you'd definitely prosper in the future. See? I was right after all."
"Tsk, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush so much with me."
Ye Mo smacked his lips. Did he not understand Ye Xiaoxiao?
The moment this girl raised her butt, he could guess what she wanted to do.
"Ehehe~ Um... it's just that...
Since you've made it big… then next month, can you give me some living expenses?"
Ye Xiaoxiao rubbed her small hands while very shyly and coyly making a small request to him.
"Living expenses? But I still have to pay your debt..."
Ye Mo spoke with feigned difficulty.
"Aiyo~ Brother~ I'll come and step on your back and massage you every day in the future, I guarantee I'll serve you comfortably."
Ye Xiaoxiao immediately pulled Ye Mo to sit on the sofa, extended her slender little hands, and kneaded his shoulders.
That appearance was as fawning as it could be.
"Is that so? Then fine."
Ye Mo waved his big hand and said directly.
"I'll grant you one thousand in living expenses per week."
"Brother, you're so good!"
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and the action of serving Ye Mo with her hands became even more diligent.
"Mr. Agent, it should... be ready to eat now."
At this moment, Meng Li, who was wearing a small apron, walked out of the kitchen.
When she saw Ye Xiaoxiao massaging Ye Mo's shoulders with ambiguous gestures, Meng Li was stunned at first.
Her small eyebrows furrowed, and she instantly bristled and bared her teeth.
Like a small mother cat protecting her food, she stared at Ye Xiaoxiao with an unfriendly expression.
After seeing Meng Li, Ye Xiaoxiao's smile also froze instantly.
Her face turned black with a 'swoosh', and she smacked her lips unhappily.
"Old Mo, why is she here too?"
