Lying on the hotel bed, Mo Mo tossed and turned, too excited to sleep. She called out the ring, "Silly Girl." Mo Mo felt that calling her "Silly Girl" all the time wasn't right, since she already had one, and "Silly Girl" was played by a beautiful celebrity. So Mo Mo renamed the ring "Silly Girl" to "Xiao Shu."
Knowing he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, Mo Mo decisively got up to admire the beautiful landscapes of his motherland, using Xiao Shu's flight function to travel all over the country after turning invisible. Of course, Xiao Shu was constantly monitoring Lu Xiaoqian's movements, but its main focus wasn't Lu Xiaoqian, but rather that President Fan. Don't forget, the Bull Demon King was attached to President Fan's car. Since Mo Mo couldn't be sure if the Bull Demon King was still in the car, he could only keep a close eye on him.
Having spent about a day, or twelve hours, in the magical world, Mo Mo decided to go home to check the time ratio. Otherwise, if he accidentally went into a long seclusion in the world of immortals and martial arts, it would be a tragedy if the time ratio wasn't high enough. So, he had to figure out the time ratio.
Mo Mo ordered Xiao Shu to immediately connect to his phone, which was on the bed, when he returned to the real world. They would then compare the time he left with the time to see how much time had passed in the real world after twelve hours. After Xiao Shu responded, Mo Mo used his supernatural powers to return to his room.
After returning to his room and looking around, Mo Mo hurriedly asked Xiao Shu how much time had passed, while also reaching for his own phone.
"Time comparison complete. One second has passed between our departure and our return," Xiao Shu's sweet voice came from the hand.
"What? Say it again, how much time has passed?" Mo Mo asked in astonishment.
"Yes, we stayed in Xiao Shu's world for nearly 12 hours, while only one second passed in Mo Gege's world," came the sweet voice in reply.
"That shouldn't be the case. I remember when I entered Xiao Shu's world it was 9:09 and when I came back it was 10:00. It should be a minute, so why is it only a second this time?" Mo Mo asked, puzzled.
"Xiao Shu can't answer that, but Xiao Shu can connect to Brother Mo's phone every time and compare the results multiple times to find out what percentage of time Brother Mo wants to figure out."
"That's all we can do. But at 12 hours per second, and two seconds per day, it's 9 o'clock now. I can stay in your world for several years now. That's enough time. Let's have some fun and get used to life from now on. Luckily, the timeline of the magical story isn't long."
Without the worry of time, Mo Mo became leisurely in the magical mobile phone world, playing games, watching movies, reading novels, and watching Lu Xiaoqian, Huang Mei, You Suowei, Chu Chu, Hua Mei and others love and hate each other.
When Mo Mo saw Lu Xiaoqian accidentally answer the silly girl's login password and then use the unlimited video function to tease Chu Chu, Mo Mo couldn't hold back anymore, and thus Lu Xiaoqian met his tragic end.
Here's what happened: That night, Mo Mo had already gone to bed and was half asleep when Xiao Shu woke her up. She saw Lu Xiaoqian teasing Chu Chu, and then Mo Mo had a flash of inspiration and decided to "train" Lu Xiaoqian properly.
After Lu Xiaoqian turned off the infinite video call with Chu Chu, Mo Mo turned it on and used his superior video call feature to block Chu Chu, preventing her from noticing Xiao Shu's presence.
Seeing Lu Xiaoqian smiling happily, Mo Mo said in a sinister voice, "Lu Xiaoqian, why did you impersonate me to scare my granddaughter? Do you want to come down and keep me company?"
Lu Xiaoqian was startled when she suddenly heard this. She slowly turned around to look behind her, and after searching her surroundings again without finding anyone, she swallowed hard and shouted, "Who's playing tricks? Come out here, I see you!"
Mo Mo almost burst out laughing when she heard this, not only because Lu Xiaoqian had just teased Chu Chu, but also because Lu Xiaoqian's voice trembled noticeably when she spoke.
Seeing Lu Xiaoqian calling out to Mo Mo in a trembling voice, Mo Mo suppressed a laugh and remained silent. Even the silly girl seemed unable to bear it any longer and reminded him to use the search function. With the silly girl's suggestion, Lu Xiaoqian quickly searched through the database.
However, after being searched by Sha Niu, Mo Mo became frightened and hid in bed under the covers, because Sha Niu told him there was nothing around. He clearly heard a sound, but after Sha Niu searched and found nothing, it must be Chu Chu's grandfather who had come.
Seeing Lu Xiaoqian's silly look, Silly Girl quickly said, "Brother Xiaoqian, although Silly Girl didn't find anything unusual, Silly Girl knows a little bit about what's going on. If Silly Girl isn't mistaken, it should be someone with a more advanced phone than Silly Girl playing a trick on Brother Xiaoqian. It's just that he blocked Silly Girl's signal so Silly Girl didn't notice him."
"Is it true? Well... that makes sense. Since you, silly girl, could come here from 2060, then people from 2060 onwards could also come here. Their cell phones back then would definitely be more advanced, so it's normal that you couldn't detect it." After saying that, she looked up at a 45-degree angle and said, "Sir, please don't tease me anymore. I know I was wrong and I won't tease anyone again. Could you let me see you?"
Seeing this, Mo Mo knew she couldn't scare Lu Xiaoqian any further, so she said, "You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that I have no ill intentions towards you." After saying that, Mo Mo ended the video call and went back to sleep, completely ignoring whether Lu Xiaoqian could sleep or not.
Because of Mo Mo's intrusion, Lu Xiaoqian not only has to maintain social order everywhere, just like in the original story, but also has to constantly guard against Mo Mo's sneak attacks. Yes, Mo Mo's sneak attacks.
After Lu Xiaoqian played a trick on He Lan, Mo Mo suddenly appeared from nowhere, beat Lu Xiaoqian half to death, healed him, and ran away. The next day, he suddenly appeared again and beat Lu Xiaoqian up once more. Lu Xiaoqian was completely powerless to resist. How could a pure-hearted boy in 2006 who was still playing games like King of Fighters and Street Fighter possibly compete with a veteran gamer in 2016 who was an expert at all kinds of sabotaging and betraying teammates? It was a complete stomp, and a brutal one at that.
Mo Mo noticed that Lu Xiaoqian, just like in the original story, hadn't yet become a gaming master and hadn't started honing his skills. So, when he left for the second time, he tossed Lu Xiaoqian a handheld game console and said, "You're too weak. Hurry up and practice more to become a gaming master, otherwise my daily routine of coming here specifically to fight you will just turn into coming here to beat you up every day. But even if it turns into beating you up every day, I'll still come on time every day. After all, having a human punching bag every day is a happy thing. I'm leaving, don't miss me, I'll still come every day."
Lu Xiaoqian was on the verge of tears after hearing this. "Who misses you? I wish you would fall into the sewer as soon as you step out the door." However, Lu Xiaoqian was still seriously honing his gaming skills, which prevented him from being beaten half to death by Huang Mei like in the original story.
Time passed day by day as Mo Mo tempered Lu Xiaoqian. Of course, Mo Mo believed he was training Lu Xiaoqian, but whether Lu Xiaoqian thought the same way was unknown.
That day, Mo Mo was about to go find Lu Xiaoqian to hone his skills as usual when Xiao Shu gave him a warning before he even left the house. Upon receiving Xiao Shu's warning, Mo Mo took a deep breath and said, "Gotcha, Bull Demon King."

Chapter 7 The Bull Demon King Who Regrets Being Born into This World
Following Xiao Shu's reminder, Mo Mo arrived at President Fan's house. True to his reputation as a shrewd businessman, the house was opulent. However, fearing an accident, Mo Mo didn't thoroughly explore the lair of this former little monster.
Ignoring President Fan's family, Mo Mo went directly to President Fan's study and took the Bull Demon King, who had merged with President Fan, away from the modern world.
In the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, in a deserted area outside the capital, a handsome young man and a horned figure appeared out of nowhere. The handsome young man was about 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall, with delicate features, fair skin, and a slender build. He wore a t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and sneakers. The horned figure also wore a t-shirt and jeans, but leather shoes. The two were none other than Mo Mo and the Bull Demon King, who had traveled through time.
Mo Mo looked at the leather shoes on the Bull Demon King's feet with a playful expression on his face.
Seeing Mo Mo's amused expression, and following Mo Mo's gaze to his own leather shoes, the Bull Demon King said somewhat angrily, "They're not cowhide, they're crocodile skin, really." Seeing that Mo Mo still looked puzzled, the Bull Demon King said angrily, "Although I am a demon, and not a benevolent one at that, I will not harm my own kind, even if they haven't awakened their intelligence."
Seeing that he seemed to have really angered the Bull Demon King, Mo Mo said, "Bull Demon King, I don't care if you harm your own kind or not. Do you know why I brought you here?"
Seemingly only now realizing what was happening, the Bull Demon King roared angrily, "You know I'm the Bull Demon King and you still dare to cause me trouble? You're tired of living! Watch how I, the old bull, deal with you, and show you why flowers are so red. Chop me up, chop me up, and then eat me—that's the most satisfying thing!" With that, he leaped up and charged towards Mo Mo.
The Bull Demon King rushed directly in front of Mo Mo and punched him in the face. Mo Mo stepped back and dodged, then reached out his right hand to grab the Bull Demon King's outstretched right hand.
Knowing that his punch would not be effective, the Bull Demon King withdrew his fist, twisted his body, squatted down, and swept his leg towards Mo Mo's lower body.
Seeing the Bull Demon King's powerful left leg sweeping towards him, Mo Mo decided to test his strength. Instead of dodging, he focused his mind and energy, stepping out with his left foot while using his right foot to meet the Bull Demon King's sweeping left leg.
With a loud "bang," both of them stopped simultaneously, and then a wave of air burst out between them. Both of them retreated at the same time, observing each other with serious expressions.
After exchanging blows, the two sides stood facing each other nonchalantly, while the surrounding trees suffered a terrible fate. All the trees within ten meters of them collapsed, and those further away, though not fallen, were left with broken branches and fallen leaves, creating a scene of utter devastation.
After a brief standoff, the Bull Demon King lost his temper and spoke first, "I take back what I just said. You are a worthy opponent. Why do you want to oppose me? Why not come with me? With me, I guarantee you will live a life of luxury and immortality."
Upon hearing this, Mo Mo replied, "If you want me, you can. If you beat me, everything is fine. If you can't... hmph, you'd better honestly tell me the recipe and method for making your elixir of immortality, or you'll regret being born into this world." After saying this, Mo Mo felt something was off. (Of course, that line was a classic template for a minor villain blocking the protagonist's path; it would be strange if it weren't.)
"Alright, it's a deal. Whoever loses can do whatever they want with the other."
It's a deal.
Having said that, he charged forward. Seeing this, the Bull Demon King was equally unwilling to be outdone and attacked as well. The two clashed again, exchanging blows for over a hundred moves in the blink of an eye. Wherever they passed, not only did sand and stones fly, but leaves also flew everywhere.
After a hundred moves, Mo Mo, relying on his extensive experience from games, TV shows, and movies, used all sorts of ingenious, clever, underhanded, and dirty tricks to keep the Bull Demon King in grave danger.
If you're asking about ingenious tricks, clever tricks, underhanded tricks, or dirty tricks, wouldn't you consider teleportation an ingenious trick? Using Xiao Shu's human body data to instantly digitize and then instantly reappear behind the Bull Demon King to attack, so fast that the Bull Demon King doesn't even have time to react, wouldn't that be considered an ingenious trick?
Next, wouldn't it be a brilliant move to use the silly girl's invisibility and flight ability to slowly float in front of the Bull Demon King, suddenly appear, hit him once, and then run away?
Finally, isn't it a dirty trick to scatter triangular nails around yourself, hide yourself using the virtual world function of the silly girl, and then lure the Bull Demon King over?
What's most infuriating is that Mo Mo unleashed the ultimate attack from his phone or computer at the last moment: "Copy and Paste." With this powerful move, the Bull Demon King was completely unable to resist and was subdued by Mo Mo before he even had a chance to draw his weapon.
According to the Bull Demon King's later recollection, the situation was as follows: He was completely overwhelmed by Mo Mo and couldn't even lift his head. Just as he was about to unleash his weapon in a counterattack, Mo Mo suddenly said "copy and paste," and then several Mo Mos appeared around him, each wielding a folding stool, and charged at the Bull Demon King. And then… nothing more. The Bull Demon King was utterly defeated, and before he could even use magic to escape, Mo Mo immobilized him and sealed his magical power.
As for why Mo Mo has so many folding stools… Mo Mo said he just rewatched Stephen Chow's *The God of Cookery*, and the scene where they beat people up with stools was so exciting, plus you could sit and rest afterward. Mo Mo said he couldn't resist saving a few extra as spares, and he never expected to actually use them.
After subduing the Bull Demon King, Mo Mo took him back to the hotel where Mo Mo had stayed in 2006.
Back at the hotel, Mo Mo threw the Bull Demon King onto the sofa and said, "Now that you're my prisoner, it's time to fulfill the conditions you promised me."
After hearing Mo Mo's words, the Bull Demon King's eyes turned red, and he shouted, "I'm not convinced! You actually used such despicable means to deal with me! I'm not convinced! Release me and let's draw our weapons and fight a fair and square battle for eight hundred rounds. Only if I lose again will I be convinced!"
Mo Mo was clearly taken aback by the Bull Demon King's words, then, realizing what he had said, leaned closer to the Bull Demon King and asked, "Am I stupid?"
The Bull Demon King probably didn't expect Mo Mo to react this way, so he looked at Mo Mo blankly and replied, "Not stupid."
"Since I'm not stupid, do you think I would let you go and fight you again, doing something so thankless?" Mo Mo glanced at the Bull Demon King and said indifferently.
"Hurry up and hand over what I want, or I'll have to do it myself, which wouldn't be pleasant. Of course, if you have any special fetishes, that's another story." After saying that, he gave the Bull Demon King a meaningful look.
The Bull Demon King shuddered at the sight, but he thought to himself that if he handed over what you wanted, it would be of no value to you. If it was of no value, it would be fine to just throw it away. But if it was destroyed by humane means, then... Thinking of this, the Bull Demon King clenched his fists, turned his head to the other side, and remained silent.
"Wow, tough one, I like it. I hope you're a real man and won't talk so I can try out the interrogation techniques I learned from TV or something. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Xiao Shu has a lie detector function. Xiao Shu is similar to that silly girl who brought you here, let's just call her an object, but Xiao Shu is more powerful than that silly girl."
After saying that, he tied up the Bull Demon King with a bed sheet, then made a phone call, and deliberately sat down next to the Bull Demon King, loudly announcing what he needed.
For example, candles, whips, chili powder, pepper powder, electric batons, chicken feathers, and the venom of the Ghost Spotted Stonefish, etc. Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King was already sweating profusely. Although he hadn't been in the modern world for very long, he still knew some of these things.
As expected, money makes the world go round; in less than half a day, everything Mo Mo wanted was delivered to his room.
Looking at the things that had been delivered, Mo Mo slowly placed them one by one in front of the Bull Demon King.
In fact, Mo Mo was both excited and apprehensive. After all, he had just graduated from university not long ago and was a well-rounded young man. He had only seen torture and forced confessions on TV and had never experienced it himself. However, the thought that he would soon be able to test various methods of interrogation and that the target of the interrogation would be the wicked and powerful demon king, the only bit of reluctance in his heart was swept away.
After arranging the items, Mo Mo looked at the Bull Demon King, then at the items in front of him, and said, "Bull Demon King, I'll give you one last chance. If you honestly tell me the recipe and the refining method, you won't have to suffer like this. Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."
The Bull Demon King glanced at Mo Mo, then turned his head away without saying a word.
"I hope you can always be this tough." After saying that, he dropped the Bull Demon King into the air, took off his shoes and socks, placed the chicken feathers under the Bull Demon King's feet, and fixed his legs still so that the chicken feathers just touched the soles of the Bull Demon King's feet. Then he turned on the electric fan.
After turning on the electric fan, Mo Mo stared at the Bull Demon King with great interest. At first, the Bull Demon King was able to hold back his laughter and remain still, but after a while, he started to struggle and finally burst out laughing.
Seeing the Bull Demon King struggling desperately, Mo Mo couldn't bear it, so he reminded him, "Actually, you can pull yourself up off the chicken feathers under your feet."
Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King was taken aback at first, then gave Mo Mo a deep look of contempt, clearly not believing him.
However, Mo Mo didn't care, because he reminded the Bull Demon King that he obviously didn't have good intentions either. You see, although the Bull Demon King could pull himself up a little to get rid of the chicken feathers, he definitely couldn't last long. He would have to come down again when he couldn't hold on. Moreover, it would be even more difficult to endure the service of the chicken feathers, get rid of them, and then be baptized by them again.
As expected, the Bull Demon King couldn't resist pulling himself up a little bit from the feathered caress, but his fate was already sealed. Sure enough, it wasn't long before he couldn't take it anymore, struggling and laughing through his tears. Then he started cursing Mo Mo, but he didn't give in.
Seeing this, Mo Mo decided to use his ultimate move. He carefully took out the venom of the Ghost-Spotted Stonefish and presented it to the Bull Demon King, saying, "This is the venom of the Ghost-Spotted Stonefish, the most painful venom in the world. I will inject it into your body and will not put you down. I will give you another chance. Speak, and I will put you down as long as you nod."
The Bull Demon King continued to curse Mo Mo, shouting that he would accept any challenge Mo Mo had and would acknowledge him as his grandfather if he dared to refuse.
Seeing this, Mo Mo sighed softly, shook his head, and silently injected the venom of the Ghost Spotted Stone Fish into the Bull Demon King's body.
A short while later, the Bull Demon King, who had been somewhat listless, began to struggle violently. He stopped cursing Mo Mo and clenched his teeth, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Mo Mo.
Mo Mo noticed the fear in the Bull Demon King's eyes, so he added fuel to the fire, picked up a leather whip, coated it with chili powder, and came to the Bull Demon King, saying, "The venom of the Ghost Spotted Stonefish not only causes excruciating pain all over the body, but also enhances the body's perception of pain. Do you want to try the feeling of being whipped with a leather whip coated with chili powder? It's not just an enhanced version, but a mixed version of itchiness and pain. And if that's not enough, I also have candles and an electric baton."
Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King finally broke down and revealed the recipe and method for making the Longevity Pill. In addition, Mo Mo unexpectedly obtained 6 Longevity Pills.
At this moment, the Bull Demon King had only one thought in his mind: "Why did I have to sneak over here? Wife, I miss you. I miss the grass and people of our Tang Dynasty. They were so pure and delicious. I regret it so much. If God gave me a chance to start over, I would never come here. You demon."
Having obtained what he wanted, Mo Mo sent the Bull Demon King into The Matrix and then sent some advice he had come up with to Sha Niu. As for what trouble the Bull Demon King caused in The Matrix, and whether there would be a second season of the Magic Phone World, Mo Mo said that it was all their own doing, and he wouldn't take the blame.

Chapter 8 I Have a Promise with Ye Zi
Back in his room, Mo Mo took a deep breath and lay down on the bed. He tossed and turned for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep. He stared at the ceiling for a while before finally snapping out of his reverie and asking softly, "What were the results of the time comparison?"
"Brother Mo, the time comparison results are in. Time has still passed by one second. That is to say, even though we have been in Xiao Shu's world for several months, only one second has passed in Brother Mo's world. Based on the results from the previous tests, we have concluded that no matter how long Brother Mo has been in Xiao Shu's world, only one second has passed in Brother Mo's world." Xiao Shu said sweetly.
"It's true what they say, it's good to have a powerful backer. Having a great mentor means you don't have to struggle for a lifetime," Mo Mo said, lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
Now I have basic self-defense capabilities, a little helper, and plenty of money. All I lack now is a top-tier cultivation technique and some combat skills. Hmm, I also need to learn a secondary profession. In the novels, powerful protagonists usually possess several unique skills, and I can't waste so many resources. I'll start as an alchemist and weapon refiner, since these are practically standard for protagonists.
There are too many cultivation methods, take your time to choose. Although you may not be able to get one, you must have dreams in life, what if they come true?
However, some cultivation techniques, though powerful, are not suitable for oneself. For example, the Burning Flame Technique from Battle Through the Heavens is not suitable. Even if you could obtain it, and even if you did, and had a different kind of fire, you might not dare to practice it, and you might not succeed. After all, not everyone is Xiao Yan, and not everyone has the protagonist's halo so that they won't explode when fusing with a different kind of fire.
Thinking of this, Mo Mo decided not to rush into a decision. He would first include all the novels on the Xianwu Xuanhuan ranking list in his consideration, and then compare them one by one to find one that was not difficult to cultivate, had strong combat power, was not unbalanced, and was easy to obtain.
Looking at the pristine white ceiling, then at the walls that were starting to crumble due to the years, and imagining the sweltering heat of living on the second floor in the summer, Mo Mo decided to first raise some money, then build another floor next year and decorate it beautifully. Once he was stronger, he would find a world with abundant spiritual energy, a beautiful environment, and safety to become his base, and then move his family there. Ideally, he would also create a spatial passage connecting it to his home.
Mo Mo took out a fist-sized piece of jade, which he estimated was worth ten or twenty thousand yuan because he had extracted it in batches in the magical world for practice.
