Quadruple split.

Chapter 2354 Interlude: Daily Life

Real time AM07:01

City B, Dexin District, Motan's apartment

Mo, who was still in an extremely depressing atmosphere a second ago, slowly opened his eyes. After confirming that he had left [Realm of Innocence] due to the suspension of the service, he opened the game cabin from the inside, and sat up with a complicated expression and a bitter smile.

There was no way. After all, Peschi's "frankness" was too lethal. Not to mention the passionate Largo, even the "bystanders" like Mo felt frightened. Even Yaya, who didn't like to think about complicated things, subconsciously tucked his tail between his legs.

However, it only took Mo Tan half a minute to calm down and separate himself from the 'Mo' in the game. He no longer thought from the latter's perspective, but started the first day after the holiday as 'Mo Tan' in the real world.

Over this period of time, this behavior of "picking up the mood" has become a "routine", and the reason is that Mo Tan believes that his mental state has been a little erratic recently, even to the point of being seriously distracted sometimes. Although this not-so-obvious change has not affected his pace of life, Mo Tan, who pays special attention to his physical and mental state, still decided to take action and perform some relatively conservative "psychological healing" on himself.

On the one hand, Mo Tan had already dabbled in psychology and related pathologies due to his own 'illness'. Although he was self-taught, even Yu Chen might not have as much theoretical knowledge in this field as him. And when 'Tan Mo' appeared in the Innocence Continent, he even had a lot of opportunities to practice his theoretical knowledge, and in the process of constantly combining the two, he strode towards one truth after another.

It's a pity that those 'truths' that Mo Tan discarded as soon as they touched him could not explain the problems that happened to him.

On the other hand, the previous "three-party meeting" in a place that was suspected to be his spiritual world, and the experience of having a headache so severe that he almost died after waking up, was always clearly remembered in Mo Tan's heart. He didn't want to experience that feeling again in his life. To put it more exaggeratedly, he even doubted whether he would die if it happened again.

On a physical level.

Therefore, considering that even when his personality was in 'chaotic neutral' he could not accept such a hasty death, Mo Tan had been trying hard to protect his 'spirit' during this period. As for whether this effort was effective... to be honest, he didn't know, but he thought it was better to do something than nothing.

This is an instinctive thought, and Mo Tan always believes that this "instinct" probably understands himself much better than his own rationality and cognition.

……

"Just clean up a bit before eating..."

Although the holiday was over, Mo Tan, who had no classes in the morning, did not rush to school. He left the game cabin swiftly, looked around briefly and decided on the next topic. He then walked quickly to the bathroom and took care of the broom, mop, brush and other tools that would play a huge role in reshaping the home environment.

In this way, between seven in the morning and seven fifty, Mo Tan had very efficiently and simply cleaned the four large areas of the living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, and then put on an apron and started cooking.

  Today's breakfast menu at Mo Tan's is [Egg Custard], [Fried Chicken Breast], [Scallion Oil Dragon Beard Noodles], [Roasted Cherry Tomatoes], [Fried Onion Rings], [Oatmeal Chicken Meatballs], [Mo Tan's Special Sauce Salad] and [Medium-rare Soft-boiled Egg]!

It has to be said that for the main perspective of this story, the man named "Motan", the menu was indeed too rich, so much so that even he himself was dazed for a moment after putting the plate of fried onion rings on the table, and it took a lot of effort to avoid pinching himself to prove that this was not an illusion.

After all... not long ago, any of the above dishes except [Egg Custard] and [Soft-Boiled Egg] were enough to become the protagonist of Mo Tan's breakfast!

“Luxury.”

Mo Tan squinted his eyes happily as he casually put a mouthful of lettuce salad into his mouth. After chewing thoroughly for a long time, he sat upright at the table, looked at the food in front of him with respect, and subconsciously repeated, "Luxury!"

  Everyone must be able to guess the reason for this sigh. In the final analysis, it is because Mo Tan's financial situation is relatively tight in most cases. Although he will not end up "starving to death in China in the 21st century", which is an outrageous result that can be regarded as a grammatical error in itself, in terms of food... Well, strictly speaking, he has never suffered a loss. He can always get something delicious when he is hungry, but--!

In most cases, when Mo Tan is in the 'chaotic neutral' or 'absolute neutral' states during breakfast time, he is very likely to directly optimize the breakfast itself, or go downstairs to buy some ready-made breakfast. In short, he will be too lazy to enter the kitchen.

Therefore, when he is willing to go into the kitchen and cook for himself, he is basically a 'lawful good' person. In this case, although Mo Tan will not skimp on nutrition, he will also place cost-effectiveness at a very high priority. Therefore, when only the two conditions of 'being able to eat enough' and 'being nutritious' are met, the variety, variation and cost will be reduced as much as possible.

But today, Mo Tan, for the rare occasion, did not control costs and prepared a table for himself. Although it was not much for many families, it was indeed a super high-quality breakfast compared to himself. The reason was——

There is nothing else but money.

You know, although Mo Tan is a very frugal person when he is in the "Lawful Good" personality, being frugal does not mean being an ascetic. He had tried his best to control the cost of breakfast before because his legal income was really not much, but the dividends won in the [Guilt Debate] were not black money, so after both the characters of "Mo" and "Tan Mo" had highlights, and "Hei Fan" even led the [Haunted Church] to win the team battle, he naturally would not continue to wronged himself since his legal income had reached eight figures.

So for Mo Tan now, although it is absolutely impossible for him to be extravagant and wasteful and eat one bowl of rice and throw away the next, it is natural to make breakfast more complicated and add some mid- to high-end ingredients later. In fact, after getting such a large sum of money, Mo Tan has reached a consensus with himself on "improving the quality of life".

But improving quality is one aspect. In his current plan, the vast majority of the income from [The Battle of Crime] will not be used, and he will not buy real estate and high-end means of transportation as soon as the large dividends arrive like Cui Xiaoyu did.

A large amount of seafood, chicken, duck, beef, seasonal vegetables, affordable fruits and other ingredients;

  New Xiaotiancai phone watches, new vacuum cleaners, new electric ovens and other household appliances;

The above is the entire content of Mo Tan's current shopping list. In fact, he originally planned to buy himself a mountain bike, but after realizing that he was a member of the [Guilt Battle·Team Battle] champion team and owned all the peripherals including [Faction Customization - Electric Vehicle] and [Personal Customization - Game Cabin], the matter of buying a mountain bike was naturally put on hold indefinitely.

By the way, in the choice of [Faction Customization - Electric Vehicle], because the real Mo Tan is always equated by his friends with the "Black Brahma" in the game, his camp is naturally based on the two tones of "black/white", an [absolute neutral] style with both Gothic and ink painting styles. As for [Personal Customization - Game Cabin], Mo Tan directly discounted it and converted it into money.

He had gotten used to sleeping in this game cabin, and didn't want to change to another one with almost as many functions as the Cyber ​​Life Support Cabin. God knew whether there was any extra hardware installed in it. After all, the current game cabin must have been clean and popular when he bought it home, but the [Personalized Customized Game Cabin] as a prize was a special model made by Innocence Company specifically for someone, and it was highly targeted.

Considering that both the game and the game cabin of "Realm of Innocence" are too advanced and have the same black technology as the "Matrix" in his own computer, Mo Tan has no intention of accepting the special model customized by the company for heavyweight players like "Hei Fan", so on the day the game ended, he contacted the official to cash in the game cabin, leaving him with an extra 300,000 yuan in his card.

Because it was clean money, Mo Tan didn't mind the extra 300,000 yuan, especially when it was exchanged for "hidden dangers".

So, after a relatively hearty breakfast, Mo Tan washed the dishes and took a simple shower. He wore a sweater, jeans and a black hoodie, rode the battery car that was delivered to his doorstep last night (considering the popularity of the Innocence Realm, he made some simple changes and disguises overnight), hummed a little tune and went out to buy ingredients. Electrical appliances and the like can be bought online, but the ingredients really have to be confirmed with your own eyes before you can rest assured!

The school is too far away, and even if this electric car has an incredible range, it is still not as good as taking a taxi. But if it is just for buying groceries, it is just right!

  With this mentality, Mo Tan turned the handlebars and went out in a heroic and high-spirited manner!

It can be seen that although he is not like a normal young man in many aspects, he is still a normal young man after all.

Just like that, Mo Tan's normal side made him eager to ride his new electric scooter out to buy groceries, while his abnormal side... made him lost for a full three and a half hours when the GPS of his mobile phone frequently failed and his Xiao Tiancai phone watch was sent away and replaced with a new one.

In fact, if Yi Dong, who was on the same course, had not driven to Mo Tan's house intending to go to school with him, and had not found that the other party had disappeared with his car, he would have had a bad feeling and called his friend. Mo Tan, who was busy arguing with himself and asking for directions and had forgotten the time, would have been about to ride onto the highway...

  G6-JZ high speed!

In short, after asking about the general situation (and the surrounding environment), Yi Dong went through a lot of trouble and finally took Gu Xiaole, who was hitchhiking, to find Mo Tan, who was running around like a headless fly, and prevented the latter from riding all the way to Province X to see the terrible future of the plateau.

In the end, although Mo Tan's electric bike did not cause any burden to Yi Dong's sports car, due to speed limits and traffic regulations, the two still failed to catch up with the first class after the holiday, and ended up being late for both of them.

Gu Xiaole, an exchange student from the Department of Archaeology who was also late, showed her teacher the result of her hard work during the Golden Week - [Sōzo Sāmonji]. Her super responsible mentor said nothing.

That's right, this old man, who was hired at a high salary to work at the Archaeology Department of Tanhua University and is already in his seventies and has dug countless graves, could tell at a glance that the knife that Gu Xiaole placed on his desk was most likely an authentic one, and then he fainted on the spot, naturally unable to utter a word.

In short, after experiencing all kinds of episodes, Mo Tan's fulfilling and busy student life began again.

Admittedly, even though he was a lawful good person who strictly abided by his duties as a student, he did not think that academics were that important to him. But he had to admit that this lifestyle, which he had hardly thought about in the past and was unique to normal people, was not so bad after all.

Watch Wan Yang rushing left and right on the basketball court, and finally jumping high for a tomahawk dunk.

After Kang Lan secretly spread the rumor that she was an accurate palm reader, she was chased by a strong foreign student who was biologically male but considered himself mentally female and wanted to touch her hand.

After Ji Xiaoge walked into the home economics classroom, ominous black smoke came out.

Watch Ji Xiaodao secretly run to the rooftop of the third laboratory building to take a nap when the weather is good.

Watch Gu Xiaole and Yi Dong quarreling loudly because the former’s paper-figure husband was offended.

When Yu Chen was accompanying Nangong Na on her internship at the outpatient department of the medical school, she shyly covered her cheeks because she was recognized by an acquaintance.

Watch Cui Xiaoyu sign up to join the handicraft club just to learn how to make a curse doll for her dad.

Mo Tan discovered that he actually quite liked "watching" these people and things that logically had nothing to do with him.

Then he discovered that he was not just a bystander.

When Wan Yang was performing a cool dunk, he and Kang Lan, who were called to help, were flipping the scoreboard nearby.

When Kang Lan was being chased around by foreign students, it was him and Gu Xiaole who was passing by who helped him climb over the wall to escape.

When black smoke came out of the home economics classroom, he and Ji Xiaodao rushed in with buckets of water and gave the unfortunate fried egg some relief.

Ji Xiaodao seemed to have a very light sleep and he immediately discovered himself and Yi Dong who were preparing to find a deserted place to talk about the Fenrir team.

The reason why Gu Xiaole and Yi Dong quarreled was that Yi Dong said that the former’s husband No. 1 looked a bit like herself.

When Yu Chen was accompanying Nangong Na on her internship, she happened to meet Kang Lan, who came to register with her after spraining her ankle while climbing over a wall. Cui Xiaoyu, who was supposed to come with them, left temporarily because of the "notification of successful application for membership" sent by the Handicraft Society.

This period of time is irreplaceable.

This daily life in which we participate is even more precious.

And the small amount of time when I am alone, and every day from 19:00 PM to 07:00 AM...

It belongs to Motan, Heifan, Tanmo and Mo, a tense and exciting extraordinary time.
