Quadruple split.

Chapter 2363 Network Gathering (IV)

Real time AM07:25
Mo Tan, who was too lazy to cook, was holding a freshly microwaved instant burger in front of his computer, slurping a glass of iced cola that was not suitable for early morning gulps, while discussing the official announcement of [Boundary of Innocence] with his friends in the group, although... it was a bit off topic...

Uncle Kang: It’s over, it’s all over now!

Dayang: What the hell? You were subpoenaed by the court for visiting porn sites?
Uncle Kang: Go to hell, no one will be summoned by the court for visiting a pornographic website!
The Enterprising Little Pigeon: Wow.

Xiaole Xiaole is amazing: Where is morality? Where is the rule of law? Where is the website?
Champion Yidong Online Car Wash: Your joke has not been popular for decades.

Xiaole Xiaole is amazing: Oh, where are the seeds? @康师伯 [yellow-haired girl drooling expression]

Uncle Kang: No, Sister Xiaole, are you serious? [Wu Tong Ye has a dull expression]

Dayang: Dongzi, why do you keep changing your nickname? I remember it was Sexy Yidong Online Noodles.

Champion Yi Dong washing car online: It's fucking [Angry Yi Dong eating noodles online]! Xiao Yu must have kicked your brain.

Cui Xiaoyu, Private First Class of the 7th Special Forces Squadron of the FFF East Asia Division: Don’t get close to me. [Wu Tong Ye’s cursing expression]

Dayang: Dongzi, don't worry about the details. By the way, Brother Yu, why did you change your name too? Weren't you called Private last time? Do you all like to change your names so much?
Champion Yidong Online Car Wash: My name is always changed by some bastards, so I have the habit of taking a look before entering a group chat, and then changing it randomly to trigger the name change protection.

Cui Xiaoyu, a private first class of the 7th Special Operations Team of the FFF East Asia Division: I got promoted, and that damn private first class in the same team is no longer single. [Husky expression of despair]

Xiaole Xiaole is so awesome: Stop making trouble! Can we talk business first? [Making a gloomy face like a kitten]

FFF East Asia Division 7th Special Forces Squadron First Class Cui Xiaoyu: OTZ
Ocean: OTZ
Champion Yi Dong's online car wash: [Pu Tong Ye rolling eyes expression]

Xiaole Xiaole is amazing: @Kang Shibo, so where is the website? [Yellow-haired girl drooling expression]

Uncle Kang: Sister, I tried it, but I couldn’t send it. They said that the website was recently reported by many people and was suspected of being a scam or something.

The motivated little pigeon: [Shocked expression on the sycamore leaf]

Xiaole Xiaole is amazing: Na Lan, please text me later. By the way, are there a lot of BL stories in it? What kind of flavors are they?

Master Kang: There is no BL! [Wu Tong Ye looks shocked]

Xiaole Xiaole is amazing: Then I don’t want it.

Ji Xiaodao: ...Let’s change the subject.

Cui Xiaoyu, Private First Class of the 7th Special Forces of the FFF East Asia Division: @Master Kang, the basket! Sister Xiaole doesn’t want it, but I do! Send it to me!

Ji Xiaodao: ...Change the subject. [Black cat sharpening knife expression]

FFF East Asia Division 7th Special Forces Squadron First Class Cui Xiaoyu: OTZ
Good Youth Mo Tan: So what did you just say? It's all over? It's not your "business" with Xiaoyu, right? @康师伯

Uncle Kang: No, with our abilities, we won’t let the business go wrong no matter what, it’s just…

Yu Chen: Just what?
Master Kang: It’s just that I have seborrheic alopecia, and I always feel like I’m doomed.

Yuchen: [Black cat trying not to laugh expression]

Uncle Kang: Doctor Yu! Do you have a life-saving remedy? @Yu Chen.

Yu Chen: Keep a cheerful and positive mind, eat more foods rich in B vitamins, eat less sugar and spicy food, avoid spicy food and quit smoking and drinking, don't use strong alkaline soap to wash your hair, wash frequently, but try not to exceed four times a week, and eat more carrots. [Evil Eye Girl Serious Expression]

Master Kang: Oh oh!

Private First Class Cui Xiaoyu of the 7th Special Forces Team of the FFF Regiment’s East Asia Branch: Oh oh!

Dayang: Oh oh!
Champion Yidong Car Wash Online: Oh oh!
The Good Young Man Mo Tan: Oh oh!
The motivated little pigeon: Are you all bald? [Pigeon choking on french fries expression]

The Three Good Youth Mo Tan: It is better to be prepared.

Champion Yidong Online Car Wash: Be prepared.

Dayang: You two are so in sync. Tell me the truth, who got the wrong gender at birth?

The good young man Mo Tan: Get lost.

Champion Yidong online car wash: roll.

Master Kang: Don't interrupt me. Well, this is what a miracle doctor is. Actually, I have looked up a lot of information before and I think my symptoms are not like seborrheic alopecia, but they are also not like psychological alopecia, hair alopecia, salt alopecia and sugar alopecia. If you have time, can you help me research what other possibilities there are? @Yu Chen.

Sanhaoqingnian Motan: Yes, postpartum hair loss and menopausal hair loss.

Uncle Kang: ...

Yuchen: [table-pounding and laughing expression]

Dayang: [pounding the table and laughing expression]

FFF Regiment East Asia Division Seventh Special Forces Squadron Private Cui Xiaoyu: [table-pounding smiley expression]

Xiaole Xiaole is amazing: [Auntie smile expression]

The motivated little pigeon: ahhhhhxiahhoshhh!

Ji Xiaodao: My sister almost laughed to death, so let’s stop talking about postpartum care here.

Uncle Kang: Aren’t you talking about hair?!

Ji Xiaodao: [Black cat sharpening knife expression]

Uncle Kang: Well, don’t disturb me while I’m in confinement.

Dayang: Can we have a video chat? I have made a pancake, but it is hard to type.

…So, after user [Dayang] sent out a group video invitation, one picture after another kept appearing on the screen in front of Mo Tan——

The first person who answered the call was Cui Xiaoyu, a short-haired young man wearing glasses and looking bookish, who clearly got enough sleep in the game cabin every day but still had dark circles under his eyes. In the video, he was also sitting at a computer desk and did not look like a 1.9-meter-tall strong man at all.

Then came Kang Lan, who looked like he had just taken a shower and had his long hair tied up behind his back, a rare ponytail. Like Mo Tan, he was holding a cup of Coke and sipping it in the living room which was decorated in a rather high-end style.

The third person to answer the phone was Yi Dong. Just like his nickname at the moment, he was washing his car with a hose in the underground garage. He was only wearing a vest and his skin was a standard cold white, so at first glance he looked like he had turned on an 18-speed filter, but in fact...

"Fuck! This beauty is so fucking amazing!"

Yi Dong was shocked after glancing at the screen, and immediately turned off the beauty function that was turned on by default in a hurry, changing himself from a 'white jade cone-faced big-eyed monster' back to a 'super cold white skinned tall handsome guy'.

The next moment, Ji Xiaoge appeared on the screen, pointing at the screen (everyone thought it was Yi Dong), with the corner of her mouth slightly raised and her cherry lips parted, saying: "Hahahahahahahahaha——"

Then he tilted his head back and fell off the chair with joy.

"Disgusting……"

Entering the scene from the side, Ji Xiaodao, who hugged his sister and gently stroked her back, glanced coldly at the screen (everyone thought it was Yi Dong), and said unhappily: "Are you trying to pierce someone with your chin?"

Yi Dong, who was wielding the water pipe, immediately became furious and said angrily: "It wasn't me! This thing has a default beauty filter!"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Then Gu Xiaole, who was in the large guest bedroom more than ten meters above Yi Dong, appeared on the screen and shook his finger. He said seriously, "How could the default beauty filter be turned on to the point where it turns you into a monster? I clearly set it for you secretly before!"

Yi Dong: "... Is there something wrong with you, woman!?"

"Bold cone face!"

In the new window that popped up, Wan Yang, who had hair as bright as fire and a rather wild charm, was eating a pancake while angrily yelling to Yi Dong incoherently, "Don't talk about my sister Xiao Le!"

It can be seen that after Gu Xiaole, who is experienced in (cross-dimensional) love, agreed to Wan Yang to give him some advice on how to pursue Yu Chen's big brother, the latter has been following the lead of this great Yin-Yang master.

Mo Tan smiled, pushed the cola and fast food hamburger in his hand away from the camera, and clicked "Join Meeting". Almost at the same time, Yu Chen, who was sitting in front of a small table and drinking millet porridge, also appeared in the picture.

"Good morning everyone."

Yu Chen, whose face was flushed because the millet porridge was warm, greeted him with a smile, then suddenly frowned: "Hei Fan, have you had breakfast?"

"have eaten--"

Mo Tan raised his head and straightened his chest with confidence. Then, because he was worried that the other party would ask about the specific details, he quickly changed the subject and sighed, "Speaking of which, there are really a lot of contents in this update. My brain is not working well. Can someone save the flow and analyze it for me?"

When Wan Yang heard this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Bring the basket! He's a professional!"

"Don't give me a random nickname. Do you know that what you say is considered an insult in the Northeast?"

Kang Lan glared at him fiercely, and then said dryly: "Besides, I am not considered to be of high level among our group of people."

Cui Xiaoyu nodded, and then said very sincerely: "I didn't say that your level is high, I just think you are more professional in this aspect of games."

"Well, okay, okay, then I'll just keep it simple, although I'm sure you all have some ideas in mind."

Cui Xiaoyu obviously didn't save face for herself, but after hearing this blunt truth, Kang Lan grinned and concluded happily: "First of all, although the issues about 'hair' and 'game cabin' will cause some anxiety, speaking objectively, the impact of those things is not even as great as the revision of the 'minor sensory protection system', don't you think, Xiaoyu?"

Cui Xiaoyu, who was very keen on using the [Minors Sensory Protection System] to protect herself, blinked and said in confusion: "What? I didn't really look at it just now. I was waiting for you to tell me."

"OK, let's skip this question."

Throwing a middle finger at Cui Xiaoyu, Kang Lan's face became serious and he said, "As for the upgrade contents mentioned above, they are absolutely the most important. Let's talk about the linked limited-time event first. Now I can be sure that these two things are actually the same thing. That event I mentioned to you, which has a large number of professional players participating and gave Xiaoyu a part-time job opportunity!"

Mo Tan nodded slightly and agreed, "I think so. When Lusail invited us to the Wind-Breaking Bird, he was talking about the same thing."

Cui Xiaoyu also reacted belatedly and said in a long voice: "Oh——!!"

"Please explain more!"

Because he returned to the game very frequently during the [Guilt Debate], and 'Mo', the captain of the [Zoo], was not online when Lusail invited him. Ji Xiaoge, who didn't know what was going on, hugged her sister and made reasonable requests.

Therefore, Kang Lan explained the whole story to everyone in relatively detail, and spent about a quarter of an hour explaining the "big thing" that the professional players were about to do.

It all started about half a year ago, when several "twisted passages" suddenly appeared in the central part of the continent, at the border of the Dark Forest and the Forest of Elves. At the end of these passages was a mysterious area that seemed to have no "history" and had never been noticed by people before those passages appeared.

In Kang Lan's words, it was as if an "area" that had never been explored or recorded suddenly appeared there, as if it appeared out of thin air. Its level of abstraction was like a house with three bedrooms and a living room. After a certain moment, people suddenly realized that it was actually a house with four bedrooms and a living room, and the extra room had never been discovered by anyone before "a certain moment", let alone set foot in it.

Therefore, as the largest force closest to that special area, the Elf King's Court located deep in the Elf Forest named it "Exotic Alpha" and specially organized a group of elite forces to go and open up the land. In the eyes of the players, this land reclamation appeared in the form of a "large-scale regional quest chain". Coincidentally, Rune Zhulan in the game happened to be one of the first players to participate in this quest.

Before the official announcement of [Battle of Guilt], the mission had completed four stages, and the fifth stage had not been opened because the conditions had not been met. But the fact is that the Elf King's Court and the surrounding forces have lost control of the situation because no NPC can pass through those 'twisted passages'!
As one of the most influential player organizations in the [Realm of Innocence], the [Green Apple Chamber of Commerce], which has surpassed Gymboree in the business field and has occupied a huge market share of players, received this news and miraculously reached a consensus with the Elf King's Court, Academy City, Forest Elf Tribe, and Scarlan Principality around the Twisted Passage, and obtained the "Right to Open Up New Land" with considerable freedom.

Then, almost immediately after obtaining the development rights, the Green Apple Chamber of Commerce contacted the Wind-Breaking Bird Club and, using the latter's influence in the circle, roped in a large number of professional players.

after all--

“No one can resist the temptation of gaining a foothold in the first player city and becoming a vested interest.”

Kang Lan smacked his lips and suddenly said happily: "The result is unexpected. Originally, everyone planned to quietly complete the task first and then build the city. As a result, the official directly overturned the table and disclosed the existence of the 'Alpha Exotic' in the form of a 'secret realm' in the final stage of the regional task, which directly disrupted the plan of the professional circle."

Ji Xiaoge tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Why?"

"Because if those professional players cannot take down the so-called limited-time secret realm in a swift and decisive manner, and then take the initiative in the subsequent continent-level world mission [City of Innocence]..."

Kang Lan grinned, his eyes full of gloating over his "employers"——

"I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in the game [Boundary of Innocence] anymore."
