Quadruple split.

Chapter 2396 Non-stop
Under the leadership of Peschi, everyone acted swiftly and completed all the preparations in a blink of an eye. It took less than an hour to pack their luggage and send Ms. Harley, who was defeated by the dragon language magic, back to the Archaeologists Association base, and then set out on the journey to the ancient ruins [temporary code name: Purple Night] without stopping.

This was only natural. After all, not to mention the Paw Patrol and the uncle and nephew Largo and Burge who were planning to fully cooperate, even the turtle who liked to be lazy and sneaky in most cases was quite restrained in front of this lady with big breasts. This kind of thing was enough to surprise the turtle's two guardians, Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge.

You know, even though Peschi did help Wang Badan a lot, this bastard has never been the type to be grateful. Or even if he really is "grateful", he will never show it. He will never stop talking nonsense just because he keeps it in mind.

As a result, in front of Peixi, Wang Badan was unusually well-behaved and diligent, so much so that Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge talked quietly about this matter for nearly ten minutes along the way.

The two men finally came to the conclusion that although Wang Badan was extremely unruly on weekdays and would not move away even if pulled or forced to retreat, he was essentially a person who would not respond to soft tactics but to hard tactics.

Under this premise, although he seems to be able to be rude to anyone, he will actually be more restrained in front of people who have a high level in related fields. The only exception was when he was forced to face Mu Xuejian together with Mo Tan at the [Knight Fighting Tournament]. Although this bastard finally attacked the opponent with dragon language magic, he was really forced into a corner.

As for the reason, Mo Tan believes that those who can achieve higher achievements in specific fields generally possess a kind of "principles" that cannot be shaken by others. Wang Badan, as a bastard who insists on being "unprincipled" no matter how others shake him, really finds it difficult to get the upper hand in front of those extremely principled people.

To put it more clearly, when he is unable to resort to violence, Wang Badan's most powerful weapon is his unprincipled and full of nonsense. However, in front of someone like Peschi, who has a strong will, clear logic, and a psychological defense that is so strong that he is insane, if Wang Badan speaks rashly, he may end up losing more than he gains. Not only will he not be able to gain any advantage, but he will also be badly criticized.

Considering this bastard's character of only taking advantage and not suffering any loss, the two of them firmly believed that the reason why Wang Badan was quite restrained in front of Pei Xi was mostly because he couldn't afford to play.

In addition, Ji Xiaoge also proposed another possible factor, that is, Peixi talked a lot with Wang Badan about his parents, and this topic was something that even they rarely mentioned to Wang Badan.

Admittedly, Pechy's evaluation of Bosh is very subtle, but for a shameless guy like Wang Badan who only has huge resentment towards his own father, it is completely understandable that he does not have a good impression of the last Dragon King. After all, he himself does not have a good impression of him.

As for his mother, although Peschi only shared with Wang Badan her understanding of her race, habits, abilities and living environment, and recited a few investigation reports whose accuracy should not be too low, for Wang Badan who had never seen his mother, these contents were still invaluable.

Even though he accepted the inheritance early because he woke up in the egg early, and passively kept the things left by Bosh in his mind, Ji Xiaoge believed that Wang Badan might not care much about whether the topics about his parents were "fresh" enough, but simply wanted to listen to others talk about them and chat about them.

"But the little bastard will definitely not admit this."

While gently flapping her snow-white wings, Ji Xiaoge placed her hands on Mo Tan's shoulders and tilted her head to rub against him affectionately, whispering in his ear, "He's actually quite shy."

"I don't think he's shy at all."

Speeding on the right side of the large box truck filled with professional equipment, Mo Tan, who was responsible for guarding the corresponding direction, laughed dryly, glanced at the bastard on the top of the truck who claimed that he moved slowly and could only 'take a car', and said unhappily: "At most, he has a little sense of shame."

Ji Xiaoge pouted and gently pressed Mo Tan's shoulder. With a whoosh, she flapped her wings and flew high into the sky. After circling twice briefly, she made a "safe" gesture to Jadeka, Yaya and Largo who looked up at her. Then she landed back in the sky and continued the previous topic while pressing her beloved's shoulder: "I think you are a little too strict with him, really."

"That's because you usually indulge him too much, so I'm a little more serious."

Mo Tan slowed down his pace after realizing the push from his shoulder. He used his lover's hands to save energy while maintaining his speed, and reminded him, "And don't forget, every time he makes you angry, it's because of me..."

"Yes, yes, you are the best."

The girl ruffled Mo Tan's hair vigorously and smiled with a prank: "It's a chicken coop! I wonder if it can be used as a pigeon nest!"

The half-dragon with a chicken-cooped hair actually shrugged and answered pertinently: "That depends on how big the pigeon is."

"Hum~"

The oversized pigeon raised its little face proudly and hummed a messy but very pleasant tune with inexplicable pride.

This scene happened in the afternoon of the same day, at 13:47 PM in-game time. In addition to the two sentries in the team, there was also Largo, who had been walking in the front all the way; he was running at high speed on the left side of the team, occasionally running to the right to rub against Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge's teeth, as well as Birger and the high-level wizard Jadka who were responsible for the rear guard.

Peschi sat at the front of the truck, which was not pulled by the camel but was pulled by Largo with two strong straps. She was sorting out the equipment behind her while chatting with Largo.

Klaus, who also belongs to the Archaeologists Association, sat at the rear of the car, leisurely watching the scenery while chatting with Jadka and Bilger. During this process, the old man was quite surprised to learn that although this man was young, he had rich experience. Before being transferred here to assist Peshi in his work, he had almost traveled all over the northwest and southwest continents. He even worked as a coordinator at the Caselo Grassland for a period of time. He helped the Archaeologists Association purchase six black dragon foals, three males and three females, from the Diesel family at 80% of the market price. He was a rare young talent, and Bilger was full of longing when he heard it. Lu Jiang sat on the crystal-clustered shell of Wang Badan. Because he focused on "recovery" and "transformation" when practicing in Tianzhu Mountain, he could use the seeds of life he prepared in advance to continuously restore the physical strength of his partners within a certain range. Although this was of no use to Largo, whether it was Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, Yaya or Bilger, they all needed this kind of supplement that could continuously offset their physical loss.

Admittedly, under such high-speed travel, the recovery speed cannot completely offset the physical consumption of Mo Tan and others, but as long as they take a short break every two or three hours, Lu Jiang can ensure that everyone retains at least 50% of their physical strength and arrives at the destination before nightfall.

Not only that, in addition to recovery, Lu Jiang, who is able to fly, will also take turns with Ji Xiaoge to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance to ensure that the latter will not be too tired.

It has to be said that, given that Luchan's functionality was so terrifying, Largo even considered recruiting a druid into the mercenary group as a generalist, but gave up the idea after about 4,000 complaints from Peshivan... or rather, criticism.

As for Gu Xiaole——

I have to say, this girl is so sophisticated yet pure, and tactful yet straightforward when it comes to getting along with others. She is like a ghost in a positive context. At this moment, she runs to the turtle shell and explains the rotten girl culture to Lu Jiang while trying to use her spiritual power to polish the crystal clusters on Wang Badan's back; at that time, she sits side by side with Pei Xi, hugging her knees, exchanging their experiences in archaeology. You should know that Pei Xi was raised by her family since she was a baby, and her achievements, academic achievements, and number of certificates are fully worthy of her identity as the person in charge of a large base, while Gu Xiaole is just a college student. Although she is in the archaeology department, most of the active students can't talk to people like Pei Xi at all, even if they rely on the fact that they are "outsider", they will definitely make a fool of themselves or show their cowardice.

As a result, Gu Xiaole was actually able to chat with Peixi about professional matters, and was even able to casually mention a lot of related knowledge that Mo Tan had never heard of, and had a great time chatting with the other party using examples.

Don't underestimate the description "even Mo Tan has never heard of it". You have to know that although he is seriously ill, Mo Tan's knowledge reserves cannot be underestimated. He is a well-deserved generalist who has solid theoretical knowledge even about things like delivering sows. Therefore, it is actually very difficult to come up with something he has never heard of without talking nonsense.

It is obvious that although Gu Xiaole may have chosen "archaeology" as her major just for convenience, she has never neglected her studies. It can even be said that the popular science content she talked about that made Peschi's eyes widen from time to time is not something that ordinary students of this major can easily grasp. It would be more appropriate for a senior expert with more than 20 years of work experience and who has dug up a large number of kings, princes, generals and ministers... or a senior tomb robber.

All in all, after chatting for less than half an hour, Gu Xiaole had already gained Peschi's recognition and friendship, and also gained a lot of favorability from Largo.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Not only that, Sister Xiaole, who had heard Ji Xiaoge mention Yaya a long time ago, also specially brought a lot of big bones for the dog girl. And they were not the kind of big bones that could be bought everywhere, but bones that were prepared by Gu Xiaole himself from material selection to seasoning. The bones were a dreamy improved version of the [Authentic Old J Province Fragrant Meat Sauce Bones] passed down by the Gu family from previous generations - [Inauthentic Xiaole's Random Stewed Meat Sauce Bones·Innocence Realm Limited Edition]!
It's no exaggeration to say that after eating this bag of braised bones, not only did Gu Xiaole increase Yaya's favorability by a large margin, but even Jadka, Bilge, Wang Badan and Largo were tempted.

So during the break, Gu Xiaole gave everyone a portion of braised bones. After even Mo Tan's eyes lit up after eating, he was pulled away by Ji Xiaoge, who was muttering to himself about becoming an apprentice.

Then the question comes-

Why does the Gu family have the secret dish [Authentic Old J Province Fragrant Pork Bones] that has been passed down to the present day? Aren’t they studying metaphysics?
This matter has actually been mentioned before. To put it simply, the reason why the Gu family chose to go abroad to make a living was because the psychic business was no longer viable in China. After all, in this era where people are not allowed to become spirits at will, the metaphysics business has become outrageously difficult. Although you can make some money by performing shaman dances for others in some places, and even get exorcism business, but with so many people in the Gu family, it is pure nonsense to think that they can live a good life by performing shaman dances every now and then.

As for the Yi family, which is also a psychic family, what can I say... At that time, there were only five people in total, and they already had three small Western-style houses, so there was naturally no need to make a fuss.

The Gu family's actions did not start out as a decision to go to a foreign country to cheat people. In fact, they had also worked in engineering, business, art, and opened restaurants.

It's a pity that, considering that these people's roots are still in metaphysics and they are unwilling to give up their heritage for a few dollars, supernatural events around them are endless. Although they certainly won't cause any loss of life, and even scary incidents are rare, it's pure bragging to want to make their legitimate business big and prosperous.

However, when they opened the restaurant, several old predecessors of the Gu family actually developed many signature dishes, including the [Authentic Old J Province Fragrant Pork Bones] that has been passed down to the present day. Although it has nothing to do with their main business of Onmyoji, it has been passed down rigorously to the present day, as a remembrance of the past years and hometown dishes.

To sum up, when Xiao Xiaole enthusiastically started her 'bride training', the focus of her first strategy was the [Authentic Old J Province Fragrant Sauce Bones] that she had also seen on the Yi family's dinner table and was well received by the children. Today, it has already reached perfection, and with just a gesture, she can subdue the dog girl and the Highlander... probably.

So just like that, Sister Xiaole only took most of the day to get along well with everyone and seamlessly integrated into the new group. Even Wang Badan gave her special courtesy and called her "Sister".

Then, when it was getting dark, Mo Tan had logged into the game again for the second time after a "short break", and everyone finally arrived at their destination.

"Welcome to the temporary codename [Purple Night]."

Peschi jumped off the car lightly, walked to a heavy stone door embedded in the ground a few meters away, turned around and smiled at everyone.

"Welcome to our work site."
