Chapter 2329 Interlude: Teach Me

Real time AM07:39

City B, Dexin District, Motan's apartment

"Is anyone home?"

Yu Chen, wearing a black base suit, a light yellow knitted cardigan, jeans and black and white thick-soled platform shoes, knocked on the door gently and walked on tiptoe in front of the peephole. Although she could unlock the door with her fingerprint, for some unsettling reason, the girl finally knocked on the door first.

"Someone is here."

Less than two seconds later, Mo Tan's voice, which was trying hard to cheer up but had little effect, rang out from the door. After Yu Chen retreated to a distance where he would not be hit on the forehead by the door, he opened the door and smiled bitterly at the girl in front of him with a clear smile: "Why did you come here?"

“I’m a little worried!”

Yu Chen answered without any hesitation.

"Are you stupid..."

Mo Tan scratched his head, forced a smile and shook his head, "What is there for me to worry about?"

"Not stupid!"

The girl stood on tiptoe and said crisply, wrinkling her nose and pouting her lips: "Let me in."

"Ugh."

Seeing that his beloved was clearly not going to give up, Mo Tan had no choice but to make way for Yu Chen to jump into the house. He leaned over to get the latter's slippers while complaining, "Why does someone knock on the door when they can just come in, and force their way in after someone else opens the door?"

"Because it's Hei Fan."

Yu Chen smiled, leaned over and met Mo Tan's eyes as he just looked up at her, and said with a smile: "Hei Fan is not 'others'."

When he was on the phone, he had vaguely sensed that the other party might come over directly, so after the personality transformation, he took the risk of forcing himself to undergo another active transformation. Mo Tan pursed his lips, and after Yu Chen changed his shoes, he turned and walked towards the living room: "What do you want to drink? I have white water, strawberry juice, and Dr. Pepper that are not expired."

"Well……"

Yu Chen hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I've always wanted to try Dr. Pepper."

"no problem."

Mo Tan smiled, turned directly to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of strawberry juice and a bottle of Dr. Pepper, then strolled back to Yu Chen, who had already sat obediently on the sofa, unscrewed the lid of the Dr. Pepper for the latter, and handed the drink to him: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, although the taste of this thing is not bad, it is indeed more subtle..."

"oh oh!"

Yu Chen nodded seriously, then carefully held the bottle of icy cold Dr. Pepper in his hand and moved his face closer, looking extremely serious.

"Haha~"

Mo Tan couldn't help but laugh twice, and slowly began to squeeze out the strawberry juice left in his hand.

Then--

"Woo!"

Yu Chen took a sip of Dr. Pepper and her eyes suddenly widened. She then turned to Mo Tan with a bitter face. However, before she could say anything, the latter took the bottle of shocking drink from her and handed her the strawberry juice he had just opened.

"Thank you!"

Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and although she didn't care about her image at all, she still looked very quiet and elegant as she gulped down a few gulps of strawberry juice, smacking her lips and muttering, "I'm finally alive... Dr. Pepper is so awesome."

"Yeah, that's awesome."

Mo Tan smiled, and then naturally drank the Dr. Pepper that made Yu Chen so in awe. Given the tacit understanding between the two, the scene of blushing and heartbeating because of "indirect kiss" was no longer possible.

You have to know that they are all adults. If it were a relatively normal situation between today's men and women, let alone this level of ambiguity, the divorce procedures might have been completed. So from a certain perspective, the interaction between Mo Tan and Yu Chen is already extremely subtle.

"..."

The silence lasted for about two minutes, until Yu Chen and Mo Tan drank half of the strawberry juice and Dr. Pepper respectively, and both put down their drinks. The former broke the silence softly, tilted his head and smiled softly at Hei Fan who was just a few feet away: "Tell me?"

"Well, tell me about it then."

Mo Tan didn't intend to hide anything from the silly girl who came straight to his house because she was worried about him. He nodded slightly and said directly: "Last night... I mean the night before the game time, Dunbuya City was attacked."

Yu Chen's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this, and he exclaimed, "Dunbuya City... was attacked? Was it Xue Man who did it!?"

"Yes."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, and said with a gloomy look: "This is the second attack since I arrived in Dunbuya City. Although the incident did not go against my previous judgment, but..."

He took a deep breath and did not continue speaking, but just rubbed his forehead gently.

"I remember he was one of the Blood Barbarians in the last attack."

Yu Chen held the strawberry juice in his hand like a treasure and whispered, "It should be the harpy from the Blood Feather Terrace, right? You told me before that Philip showed his might and made those blood barbarians who wanted to come here to demonstrate suffer a great loss."

Mo Tan smiled and nodded, "That's right. After all, the biggest advantage of the Harpy is its flying ability and mobility, and Philip directly forced them to land through the no-fly zone. In this way, we who have the advantage of terrain will naturally not suffer any loss."

Yu Chen nodded vigorously, then asked cautiously: "Then who is coming this time..."

"The strongest group among the Blood Barbarians, the Lizardmen of the Broken Head Cliff."

Mo Tan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. "They sent 700 Gray Lizard Hunters as the main combat force, and five black cloaks of the royal guard level... led by the Black Lizard Hunters."

Although he did not go to Dunbuya City in person, Yu Chen, who would catch up on his knowledge of blood barbarians whenever he had time, immediately realized the seriousness of the matter: "How could this happen!"

"On the one hand, it's for the Blood Barbarians' face. After all, the troops sent by the new queen of Blood Feather Terrace to Dunbuya City were not only all killed in the battle, but they also failed to cause us much damage. This result has obviously shaken the balance between the Holy Church Alliance and the Blood Barbarians. As the most powerful and influential of the four Blood Barbarians, Cliff of Broken Heads will naturally not sit idly by."

Mo Tan took a sip of Dr. Pepper, which he did not like at all, and continued to explain to the serious-looking girl next to him, "On the other hand, Cliff has always wanted to establish his leadership position among the blood barbarians over the years. As far as I know, the lizard king has been recognized by the chief of the Steelmane Tribe, the king of the boarmen. Among the gray dwarves of the Pale Plains and the harpies of the Bloodfeather Plateau, the latter, who just got a new king, is obviously more likely to become a breakthrough point. So it is reasonable for him to seize this opportunity to give the harpy face and establish his authority."

Yu Chen nodded nervously and said hesitantly: "Then...Hei Fan, what on earth did you miss?"

"I didn't miss anything."

Mo Tan clenched the Dr. Pepper in his hand with a gloomy look and gritted his teeth and said, "But the problem is that when the incident happened, the person who was originally planned to notify me through friend messages had no news at all!"

Yu Chen was immediately confused: "Huh?"

“When I finally came online, everything was over.”

Mo Tan leaned back on the sofa tiredly, waved his hand at Yu Chen who was about to speak but hesitated, and said, "Don't worry, the city is defended. They followed the plan and framework I left before and kept the gray lizard hunters out of the city. At the end of the battle, except for two black lizard hunters who were seriously injured and fled, the rest of the enemy troops all died in the northern suburbs of Dunbuya City."

Yu Chen did not feel relieved after hearing this, but gently grabbed Mo Tan's sleeve: "But it's still not easy to win, right..."

"Five hundred and ninety-three people were killed in the battle, nine hundred and forty-six were seriously injured, one hundred and seven of them were permanently disabled, ninety-five were unable to pick up weapons again, and more than a thousand were slightly injured."

A small streak of blood appeared at the corner of Mo Tan's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, I greeted many of the dead and injured. A young man from the Dawn Sect who came from the south of the Holy Land said that he was the pride of the whole village and wanted to make more military achievements to bring honor to his family. He even gave me a piece of the cake he brought from his hometown... He said that he only ate one piece a month because he missed home. As expected, the taste was rotten."

Yu Chen nodded silently without saying anything, but changed from grabbing the cuffs to grabbing the wrists.

"died."

Mo Tan showed a weak smile and said with difficulty: "I heard that he died in the first wave of charge of the gray lizard hunters. When he was finally found, he had been eaten by the giant lizards above the chest. If it weren't for the stale cakes in the bag around his waist, I'm afraid no one would have recognized him." The girl lowered her eyes and said softly: "This is not your fault..."

"But if I were here, maybe a lot less people would have died."

In Mo Tan's wide eyes, faces that he had not yet become familiar with but had already memorized in his heart kept flashing before his eyes. They were all companions and comrades who had fallen in the dark night and would never see the sunrise again.

"Perhaps the battle was too intense."

Yu Chen sighed softly, and tried to find a reasonable explanation clumsily: "That's why I didn't have time to inform you. After all, we were also playing a game..."

"There is no such thing."

Mo Tan shook his head and interrupted Yu Chen, saying with a very unpleasant expression: "The five-shift scouts outside the city are not for show. A large target like the Seven Hundred Gray Lizard Hunters will be discovered three to six hours in advance at the latest. As long as they are willing, they will have plenty of time to notify me! And I have said long ago that as long as there is a war, no matter the scale, you must let the contact person tell me as soon as possible. If I am not online, let him contact Yi Dong and ask him to find me. As a result..."

“They didn’t tell you.”

Yu Chen turned to look at Mo Tan and said softly, "They must have their reasons, right?"

"Because of the useless astrologer that my damn occult consultant, Luke Tifilo, brought with him!"

Mo Tan slapped his leg with his free hand and said angrily, "She had foreseen that scene a long time ago. She even had time to tell me in person! But she teamed up with everyone to hide it from me!"

"I see."

Yu Chen nodded slightly, then turned his body and rested his head on Mo Tan's shoulder, and said softly: "I don't know how to comfort you, because I don't understand fighting, and I don't know what many of the things you said mean, so I don't know how to say it to make you feel better."

"Um……"

"But I just want to make you feel better. I don't want to see you sad."

"You can go over there and find everyone first. I'll be there once I'm ready. It won't take long."

"What kind of 'adjustment'?"

"..."

"Is this an adjustment that will make Black Brahma feel relieved?"

"..."

"What if I say that I suddenly want to be willful and want to comfort you even though I don't know how to comfort you?"

"I am fine."

"I'm in trouble!"

"..."

"So, those things that I don't understand, Hei Fan is actually very clear about it, right?"

"Ok?"

"For example, why did everyone hide it from you? Although I don't know the reason, Hei Fan, you must know it, right?"

"...So be it."

"So, can I ask you for a favor?"

"how?"

"Teach me."

"teach you?"

Mo Tan turned to the girl who was leaning on his shoulder obediently, with a bit of surprise, and asked, "What should I teach you?"

"Teach me how to comfort you."

Yu Chen raised her little face and gave Mo Tan a big, brilliant, and flawless smile within earshot: "Okay?"

If I say that in this atmosphere, Mo Tan does not have even a ten-millionth of an impulse to lower his head and kiss her at this moment, then I would absolutely be lying. In fact, even the girl, whose eyes flickered slightly and a blush quietly appeared on her cheeks, did not ignore this possibility.

But in the end, Mo Tan, who was not Black Brahma, just curled his lips and said helplessly: "A merciful army cannot be commanded. From the perspective of the overall situation, what I said was just pure hypocrisy. Soldiers have soldiers' duties, and commanders have commanders' duties."

"The ancients once said that a kind person cannot command an army!"

Yu Chen blinked and said seriously, "Although Hei Fan has always been considerate and caring about the people around him, your role in Dunbuya City is a commander after all, and others have their own responsibilities, just like in Misha County. I know you care about my safety, but in that situation, you are more important than me, the Saint."

Mo Tan smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "What kind of PLAY is this..."

"Hehe~"

Yu Chen gave Mo Tan a cute silly smile, then hugged the latter's arm and continued to ask: "And then what?"

"I am from another world, that is, a player. Whether it is the environment I am used to or my understanding of the cruelty of war, I am very different from the locals of the Innocence Realm, especially these warriors guarding the border."

Mo Tan looked at Yu Chen lovingly and said reluctantly, "So it's easy for me to have feelings for my comrades in the same camp besides those of a commander and a superior, and I can't easily separate these feelings when commanding. As a result, my understanding of 'sacrifice' becomes incomplete and paranoid, which is not a good thing for a commander."

"I forgot about that earlier, so everyone is actually doing this for Hei Fan's own good. They want you to adapt to your current identity as quickly as possible."

Yu Chen nodded to Mo Tan seriously and said, "And didn't Hei Fan just say that you actually left a plan, and everyone did it according to your ideas, so although this result... is still hard to accept, it doesn't actually disappoint everyone, right?"

"Um……"

"By the way, that astrologer lady cares about you a lot~"

"Uh-huh!?"

"Look, it's really the young lady!"

"This……"

"I was wondering why you never told me about the occult consultant before!"

"Uh……"

"I care about you so much!"

"No, she said I was a scumbag pastor the first time we met and she planned to stay away from me in the future."

“Puchi! Hahahahahaha…”

"Hey, hey, hey! You're laughing too much! Is Xiao Ge possessed?"

"Hahahahaha, I just think she's really good at judging people~"
