Chapter 2411: Distinction and Disharmony

Game time PM13:04
East of Savage Highlands, Ancient Ruins [Codename: Purple Night] Temporary Observation Point
"Everyone has worked hard."

Sitting on a simple low stool, Pei Xi sipped a mouthful of warm water, raised her head and said to the exploration team members sitting around her, "We have gained a lot today. Not only was the exploration process much smoother than I expected, but we also found a lot of valuable references and clues. This is all thanks to you. On behalf of [Loya] and [Archaeologists Association], I would like to express my gratitude to you again."

When he heard Pei Xi directly name his team, Mo Tan immediately shook his head humbly and said, "We are just doing our job. This is work. No need to thank us."

"No problem, that's enough of the pleasantries."

Peschi was naturally pleased with his attitude, so he immediately turned to the point and said calmly: "We still have a lot to do. At this stage, the unknown dangers far outweigh the known information. New discoveries will also involve new mysteries, and under the smooth appearance, there are also unpredictable hidden dangers, so I hope everyone can be mentally prepared."

Largo nodded firmly: "That's from..."

"I didn't tell you."

Pesci interrupted her childhood sweetheart and said to the half-dragon leader of the Paw Patrol, "Each of us must be prepared for sacrifice and death, and we must carry out our exploration with the mentality that fatal threats may appear at any time. The working atmosphere today is very good. I don't want you to slack off in the subsequent operations because of reasons such as 'first time is strange, second time is familiar'."

"That's natural."

Mo Tan smiled and added calmly, "Let's not talk about Yaya, Lao Jia, and Wang Badan. The three of us from other worlds also cherish our lives."

Peschi smiled faintly (Largo's eyes were a little straight), nodded vigorously and said, "That's great. I sincerely hope that after this exploration mission comes to an end, everyone can live like this."

Wang Badan, who was lying behind Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, laughed dryly: "Sister, your adjective is quite sincere."

"Everyone will be fine."

Bilge clenched his fists angrily and shouted, "Although I am just a drag, whether it is my uncle, Aunt Pesci or..."

The next second, the professional archaeological tool that looked like a wrench came into close contact with Burge's skull, and after a crisp sound, it proved that this guy had a good head.

"I was wrong."

Bilger immediately caught the wrench, trotted it back to Pesci, who looked calm, and said in a wry voice, "Sister Pesci."

Boom! ! !
Then he was hit by a blow that was only of intermediate power, but the force was so strong that his head exploded, and he was flung more than two meters away by his own uncle.

"Stupid..."

Wang Badan glanced at Bilge, who was standing next to him in an OTZ position, with disdain, and whispered, "If you call that woman sister, doesn't that make your uncle look like a bad person?"

"no way……"

Bilge, who was still in an OTZ position, sighed silently and replied in a barely perceptible voice, "We have to find a way to get my uncle to express his opinion."

"What the hell?!"

Wang Badan’s eyes immediately widened. He never expected that this guy actually did it on purpose.

"Shhh."

Bilge seemed to be struggling to put his arm on Wang Badan's shell, and at the same time, he used Dou Qi vibration, a technique that was far less convenient than [Sound Transmission], to covertly say to the latter: "Brother Turtle, don't sell me out."

"Nima..."

Wang Badan felt somewhat comfortable being called 'Brother Turtle', and he didn't even say anything mean like 'this little bastard is trying to bring you two together'. Instead, he rolled his eyes, hummed, and retracted his head into his shell to catch up on his sleep.

By the way, although Wang Badan did not sell out Bilge, he was the first to mention the matter to Mo Tan through the blood contract, which made the latter look at this Highlander with a new respect.

Mo Tan is certain that Bilge is definitely a good guy with a kind personality, good conduct and a sense of justice. In many cases, people of this type would be a little inflexible. That is why Wang Badan, who is also familiar with Bilge's character during their few days of getting along, would say that he is a "fool".

but!

Now it seems that although Bilge has all the advantages mentioned above, he is also a person with flexible thinking. Although there are not many people who have the characteristics of "sophistication" and "integrity", they definitely do exist. For example, "Mo" in "Realm of Innocence", that is, Mo Tan in the current personality, is this type of person.

So Mo Tan, who already had a good impression of Bilge, immediately liked this young man more. And considering that Largo has always been friends with his brothers, even though the age difference between them is less than ten years, Mo Tan actually treats Bilge as a junior.

"Do not worry."

So, he raised his hand and patted the awkwardly seated Bilge on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "With your confidence, we will try our best not to let you down."

And Birge responded to Mo Tan with a silly smile, a smile that was completely sincere and without any pretense.

Mo Tan can vouch for this with his 'chaotic neutral' personality, because although he is a very good person in a sense at this moment, considering how many times he has done vile, hypocritical, shameless and despicable things in the first-person perspective over the years, he believes that if Bilge has other intentions, he will definitely be able to see it.

To sum up, Burge is indeed a good boy. Even if he is a little scheming, it is all for reasonable and normal purposes. He is fundamentally different from some people with evil intentions.

This is what the self-aware Half-Dragon Knight thought↑
"The next exploration time will be from tomorrow morning to noon, or from noon to evening."

While weighing the wrench in her hand, Pesci brought the topic back on track: "The specific situation depends on Brother Mo's 'online time'. You don't need to feel pressured, and you don't have to plan your time to cooperate with us as I said before. Just be there within these two time periods."

That's right, Mo Tan did not hide his unstable online situation, but explained this problem to everyone long before everyone set out from [Loya]. After all, he was very clear that this exploration of the ancient ruins might not be comparable to the previous leisurely tasks. If he did not confess his situation, then this would definitely become a hidden danger and a time bomb for the team.

In addition, Mo Tan also believes that this kind of confession can make Ji Xiaoge correctly realize that he is not a reliable person, because this is not "creating difficulties when there are no difficulties", but a normal statement of facts, so he naturally will not have any psychological burden. On the contrary, he believes that he has not deceived Ji Xiaoge, but is showing his true self to this silly girl who has a serious filter for "Mo".

After all, in Mo Tan's "self-knowledge", he is actually a very bad person who is not suitable as a love partner. In addition, he does not want to deceive Ji Xiaoge. Therefore, instead of deliberately doing stupid things to reduce the other party's favorability like the stupid characters in some third-rate works (for some equally stupid reasons), he hopes to show a real enough self to the other party. In most cases, "truth" is the MVP that breaks the beautiful filter.

However, it is worth mentioning that, considering that the pace of 'Black Brahma' is relatively stable, and even received the absolute support of the Dawn Sect, although they have some doubts, they are also unreserved, so the requirement for online time is not high. After all, Xia Liya and Romeo are very good at administration, and with considerable authority given, this situation can be handled completely.

Besides, even though Mo Tan was in a 'chaotic neutral' personality, he was willing to temporarily sacrifice some game time for Mo's affairs. After all, he didn't want to be disturbed while carrying out the quest [Oath of Jackdaw]. So after knowing that he was absolutely a rubbish who didn't know how to repay a favor, he decided to let the pigeon fly for a while and temporarily forget about Monica and Yu Ying, the two annoying goblins.

Seems pretty good~
Seems pretty good.

Seems pretty good——

At least at this moment, Mo Tan thought that this was a good thing, a good thing that would allow him to at least cooperate with Largo and others when necessary.

But the problem is...

He seemed to have never considered whether Mo Tan should be as clearly divided as it is now.

Click. "I can usually cooperate."

Mo Tan nodded slightly. Although he was sure that Pei Xi would never delay the progress to take care of herself, he still said seriously: "So I think we can temporarily schedule the exploration from morning to noon. I will try my best to be there."

"can."

Peschi nodded and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you don't need to worry about wasting time. I still have a lot of work to do during the non-exploration period. And because the area we explored today has been ensured to be safe, the follow-up investigation will be safe as long as Largo and Mr. Jadka accompany us. Of course, I will also requisition Yege and Xiaole depending on the situation."

Ji Xiaoge smiled and flapped his wings twice, pretending to be a gentleman and saluted to Pei Xi, and deliberately said in a voice as heavy as possible: "With pleasure, my lady."

"Of course there's no problem on my end."

Gu Xiaole withdrew his gaze from Mo Tan, raised his hand excitedly and said: "By the way, I have a lot of good kids here who become more powerful at night. I am from another world and don't need to sleep. If necessary, I can use Shikigami at night..."

"No."

Pei Xi shook her head without hesitation and rejected Gu Xiaole's proposal. She said in a relatively serious tone, "If you want to explore ancient ruins of this level, professionals like me are necessary. This is not only for your safety, but also to prevent accidents caused by various wrong operations. Moreover, the code name of this ancient ruins is 'Purple Night' because it has been emitting purple light for several consecutive nights since its appearance. Although it has disappeared now, night exploration must be prohibited before we obtain certain intelligence."

"Understood~"

Gu Xiaole immediately put his hand down obediently.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Well, today's official operation ends here. I still need to sort out the information we have collected so far with Klaus. Although it is basically useless, it can at least be used to write a report."

Pei Xi stood up and walked towards the equipment, which was a bit backward and primitive compared to the Seventh Outer Mountain of Tianzhu Mountain, but was definitely considered high-tech in the world. Without turning his head, he said to everyone, "You can move freely."

"Well..."

Bilger stood up soon after, and because he didn't know what to call him, he omitted the name and asked directly: "Is there anything Uncle Largo and I can help with?"

Largo was in a slightly depressed mood, but before he could show it on his face, he was stunned when he heard this: "Ah?"

Peschi paused, and after a pause of about two seconds, he said calmly: "Forget it, Largo, help me hold the chair."

Largo was stunned again: "Press the chair?"

"Well, the floor is uneven, and the chair is a little unstable. You come and hold it down for me."

"Oh, good!"

Just like that, Klaus, Peschi and Largo left the simple rest area and went about organizing documents, writing reports and arranging chairs.

Full of curiosity, Birge and Lujiang asked Mo Tan and others what had happened under the ancient ruins, and they smacked their lips at the same time after listening to the detailed description for about half an hour.

"Luckily I didn't go down."

Lu Jiang, who has normal sexual orientation and is not a sissy, is a biological male and considers himself a male, but is identified by the system as having a [girlish heart], sighed and said with lingering fear: "I think I will be scared to tears."

Ji Xiaoge nodded vigorously and agreed repeatedly: "Is that right? I was almost scared to tears! But I was working at the time, so I had to endure it. Mo, comfort me quickly."

"Hmm...next time, remember to turn on the [Minors' Sensory Protection Mode]?"

Mo Tan said "coaxing" obediently, and then was gently patted on the head by the girl's wings.

"The teacher said that if you keep using that kind of thing you'll become stupid!"

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled her nose and said angrily, "I don't want to become stupid!"

"Master Lu doesn't think many people are smart..."

Mo Tan smiled bitterly, then looked away and suggested, "Next time you are scared, just stand behind me."

Ji Xiaoge immediately smiled and said, "Great!"

Gu Xiaole also raised his hand: "Okay!"

Yaya tilted his head, and his ears suddenly stood up: "Good woof!"

Lu Jiang probably felt that she didn't fit in, so she followed suit: "Okay."

Finally, while applying ice to his staff that seemed to be about to explode again, Jadka teased Mo Tan, "I'll leave it to you when the time comes."

"Big brother-"

Wang Badan poked his head out with a smirk on his face and said in a pinched voice, "I'm scared too."

"Go, go, go."

Mo Tan shook his head, and raised his hands to indicate that he gave up.

"Come on, come on~"

Northwest Continent, the End of the Dragon Clan Deep underground, the Burial Ground - Mounting Different Space

Two balls of dark golden flames suddenly rose up, lighting up the background that was flowing like a curtain - a 'darkness' that was like an abyss, but had no effect on vision.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Not for long."

“As a ‘dissonant note’, every minute and every second on this score is a torment for me.”

"I see."

"Thanks to you."
