When Ning Xi took the snake gall that Lin Mo handed over and brought it close to the Tier 2 blue quality Venom Ring in her hand, a "Fusion Available" mark suddenly appeared on both the ring and the snake gall at the same time.
She chose to fuse. The snake gall in her hand instantly turned into specks of light and was absorbed into the ring.
[Ding~ 1 snake gall fused, Venom Ring quality growth +1%!]
"One snake gall only adds 1% growth…"
Ning Xi immediately felt a little heartache and said to Lin Mo, "Brother Lin Mo, how about you just sell these snake galls to Wang Junjie instead? One can sell for two thousand yuan."
"Money is just something outside the body," Lin Mo said, "Strength is what matters most."
As he spoke, Lin Mo opened his backpack, poured out more than six hundred snake galls onto the ground, and said to Ning Xi, "Come on, fuse them all."
Ning Xi nodded and activated one-key fusion.
Depending on the equipment quality, the growth provided by snake galls was also different.
For white quality Venom equipment, one snake gall could provide 10% growth;
For green quality Venom equipment, one snake gall could provide 5% growth;
And for Ning Xi's blue quality Venom Ring, each fusion of a snake gall could only gain 1% growth.
It took a full 100 snake galls to finally raise the Venom Ring's quality from blue to purple.
And for a purple quality Venom Ring, each fusion of one snake gall gave even less growth, only 0.5%.
After another 200 snake galls, the ring was upgraded to orange quality.
Ning Xi was very smart.
With the limited number of snake galls, she prioritized fusing the ring and the weapon first.
Because these two equipment slots added attack power as their main attribute.
Only with higher attack power could her Nine Five Supreme talent's tenfold damage effect be pushed to the extreme.
In the end, after using up all six hundred plus snake galls, Ning Xi's Venom Staff and Venom Ring were both upgraded to orange quality.
Just at that moment, three more players from the Dragon Soul Guild joined the team. Lin Mo reset the dungeon and began the third run.
He said to Ning Xi, "Try it. Let's see how your damage is now."
"Mm," Ning Xi nodded.
She locked her sight on a poisonous snake ahead.
BOOM!
E-grade Fireball!
-10532!
Rustle!
The poisonous snake dropped to the ground on the spot.
Instant kill!
The three Dragon Soul Guild players who had just joined the team all widened their eyes.
"Damn!"
"She's using the class basic skill, E-grade Fireball?"
"What kind of damage is that?"
While the three were still in shock, Lin Mo showed a satisfied look, "Not bad. Looks like this upgrade was crucial."
After all, before this, Ning Xi needed one skill plus one basic attack to kill a poisonous snake.
But now, she could kill it instantly with just one skill.
Upgrading the Venom Staff and Venom Ring to orange quality actually only increased about two hundred points of attack power.
But for Ning Xi, who possessed the SSS-grade talent Nine Five Supreme with tenfold damage, that was almost equivalent to a massive boost of two thousand attack power.
And this was only orange quality.
Later on, once the weapon and ring, and even the entire Venom set, were upgraded to red and gold quality, Ning Xi's strength would be simply immeasurable.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo felt full of drive.
It was as if he was even more eager than Ning Xi herself to see her strength increase.
Looking at Ning Xi, pure and calm like moonlight, Lin Mo muttered, 'Looks like I need to work harder, collect more snake galls, so I can raise this female emperor faster.'
So next, Lin Mo also went all out, leading the three new Dragon Soul players to clear Snake King Island for the third time.

It was almost noon.
[Blazing Ember City]
Niu Dali guarded the tavern in the city, holding a wine jar in both hands, his head drooping.
After waiting for a long time, he still did not receive an invitation letter from the Divine Nation Guild.
He simply could not figure it out, "Ling Xue, why haven't you come to me yet?"
"I've already cleared Snake King Island dungeon, and it was even the first clear!"
"Maybe you're still busy and haven't noticed this side yet? Right! I'll wait a bit longer!"
So Niu Dali continued to wait foolishly.

On the other side—
Dragon Soul Aoshi, Dragon Soul Whisper, and Su Muqiu had just returned to the city and were about to log off.
Dragon Soul Aoshi and Su Muqiu's mailboxes suddenly flashed at the same time.
They opened their mailboxes and found that the sender of both emails was the same person, and the content was exactly identical—
[Divine Nation, Judge/ (Level 27 Wizard): "Mr. Dragon Soul Aoshi / Mr. Dragon Soul Dusk, congratulations on passing our guild's entry assessment. We now officially invite you to join the Divine Nation Guild! If interested, please change your ID according to the unified format of Divine Nation Guild and further contact me to sign the employment contract. (Attachment · Rename Card)"]
Seeing the email content, Dragon Soul Aoshi immediately felt a sense of crisis and at once asked Su Muqiu, "Confirm whether everyone else in the guild received the email."
Su Muqiu quickly checked and then said, "For now, it should only be the two of us who received it."
"Boss, it should be because we got the first clear of Snake King Island dungeon that caught Divine Nation Guild's attention. Because in the recruitment information they posted online, for Blazing Ember City, the requirement to join is players who obtained top ten clear rewards for Snake King Island dungeon."
Having been in the business world for decades, to Dragon Soul Aoshi, the biggest threat always came from competitors.
The sense of crisis in his heart did not disappear. He then instructed Dragon Soul Whisper, "Check the background of Divine Nation Guild."
In fact, Dragon Soul Whisper had already been investigating.
As soon as Dragon Soul Aoshi finished speaking, Dragon Soul Whisper had already reached a conclusion, "Divine Nation Guild's main force is concentrated in the human race's level three main city, Wind Snow City. At the same time, they have issued recruitment information to all level three main cities across the server."
"Their guild leader, Ming Yuexin, in the real world is the president of Ling Group in the capital, Ling Xue."
Buzz!
When he heard the words "Ling Group" and "Ling Xue," Dragon Soul Aoshi suddenly trembled inside.
A trace of awe appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Dragon Soul Whisper asked, "Boss, should we issue a warning to Ling Group in the name of the company?"
"No!", Dragon Soul Aoshi hurriedly said, "We must not offend this Divine Nation Guild!"
"I'll handle this matter personally."
Seeing Dragon Soul Aoshi, who was usually calm no matter what he faced, now looking so flustered and afraid, even Su Muqiu and Dragon Soul Whisper could not help feeling surprised.
Whoosh!
As Dragon Soul Aoshi logged off first and turned into white light, disappearing in Blazing Ember City,
Su Muqiu and Dragon Soul Whisper looked at each other.
"I've never seen Boss this flustered before."
"Just what kind of background does this Divine Nation Guild leader, Ling Xue, president of Ling Group, have?"
———
At the same time, on the other side—
[Snake King Island Dungeon]
While Lin Mo and Ning Xi were hunting poisonous snakes and leading the team to carry out the dungeon mission, they suddenly received an email at the same time.
They casually opened it and saw that the sender was exactly [Divine Nation, Judge].
The content of the email was an invitation for him to join Divine Nation Guild.
Lin Mo revealed a meaningful smile, "It's finally here!"
