Quadruple split.

Chapter 2509: Intermission

Game time PM22:47

Saramoon, Noble District, 17 Galaxy Avenue, st floor

"Sorry for the wait, everyone."

With a happy smile on his face, Mo Tan, carrying his lute, cheered to everyone on the second floor. Then he jumped up on the spot like a middle school student, sat on the smooth handrail of the spiral staircase, and slid down with a weird cry: "Ah-ho--!!!"

The elf girl who was at a loss and had a lifeless look when she went upstairs, although still looked a little indifferent, her left eye that was exposed had brightened up, and one could tell just by looking at it that she had been filled with a bellyful of poisonous chicken soup.

"It's also possible that it's just pure poison, without the chicken soup."

Yi Dong whispered something in the bad hot girl's ear, causing the latter to giggle.

"Next time you say something mean to someone, keep your voice down, Zombie."

Mo Tan swung his middle finger at Yi Dong, and then smiled at the bad girl sitting opposite the latter: "As the saying goes, the night is too short for pleasure, and happy times are always short. Although I personally want to know more about our [Joker]'s work in Saramoon, in order to save countless hearts from sadness, I must say goodbye to you."

The bad hottie sighed, then slowly put on her gloves, stood up and extended her right hand to Mo Tan: "Nice to meet you, Ace."

"Nice to meet you too, Hua Q."

Mo Tan politely shook hands with the bad girl, winked at her and said, "It seems like you had a good chat with this zombie?"

The bad hot girl smiled generously and nodded, "Not bad. Although we have known each other for less than a month, we seem to get along quite well."

"fart!"

But Mo Tan sneered, pointed at the nose of the bad girl and shouted: "Do you think we are compatible? I don't even want to expose you, Hua Q, you just want to keep this useful necromancer here as a laborer!"

The bad girl's face froze, and she said dryly: "I didn't, I didn't..."

"Alas, there is nothing I can do. You are the woman who holds the power of the entire [Violet Empire] branch. Even I, the [ace], have to give way to you."

However, Mo Tan had no intention of letting the bad girl finish her words. He just shook his head and turned to look at Yi Dong: "How about it, for my sake, would you consider staying and helping with the dirty work?"

Yi Dong answered without hesitation: "Never!"

The bad hot girl clenched her right hand behind her back imperceptibly.

"Ok."

Mo Tan shook his head with some regret, and asked again: "What if you don't do it for my sake?"

“It’s not completely out of the question.”

Yi Dong pulled the corner of his mouth, not noticing that someone suddenly bit his lip. He just frowned and said to Mo Tan, "But... are you sure? You should know the situation over there very well, or do you want me to bring those four people over?"

Mo Tan laughed contemptuously and shook his head, "How is that possible? You are not an official member of the Joker, so don't even think about moving in and living in our property. What I mean is that we all know each other now, and you won't be leaving Crystal Wolf Territory for a long time. If we are suddenly too busy, you can come over and help out. I will ask the King of Hearts to allocate a special budget to reward you as a foreign aid."

Yi Dong nodded and said nonchalantly, "Okay, if Buliang sends me a message asking me to come over, I'll come over."

"very good."

Mo Tan smiled contentedly, and then added in a leisurely tone: "Besides that...if there is a particular shortage of manpower here, you might as well ask those four to come and help. After all, they are cheap labor that doesn't need to eat and doesn't even need photosynthesis. It would be a waste to keep them locked up every day and let them moldy."

Yi Dong was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Isn't this... inappropriate?"

"Oh yes!"

Mo Tan slapped his forehead suddenly, turned to the bad girl with a tangled expression and said, "The thing is, although there are several high-quality tools around this zombie, considering that those people have some relationship with our other [Ace], we may have to avoid suspicion a little bit..."

The bad girl stroked her chin and repeated with a subtle expression: "Avoid suspicion?"

"In other words, it's not convenient for some four-eyed dead tablet to know."

Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose awkwardly and said awkwardly: "But then again, although it's not a big problem for him to be away for a few days, those tool people are not as lucky as Rona after all. Even if no one helps with regular maintenance, they can still rely on an eternal heart to last for a long time, so... uh..."

"I am the general manager of the Violet Branch. According to the rules, I am only responsible for 'performance', not other cadres including Ace."

The bad girl interrupted Mo Tan calmly and said in a cold voice: "If seeking help from Lin Dong is in the best interests of the branch, then I naturally have the obligation to ensure that Lin Dong and the people around him will not encounter any trouble, any form of trouble."

After a few seconds of silence, Mo Tan, who did not see any impurities in the other person's eyes, laughed. Then he nodded slightly and turned to walk towards the gate of No. 17 Xinghe Avenue.

"Sugar candy."

The bad girl took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Send the guest out."

"oh oh!"

Tang Ciba was obviously relieved, and then he immediately trotted to open the door for Mo Tan, as if he had returned to his most miserable days as a waiter in a fast food restaurant, and subconsciously revealed an extremely beautiful and perfect fake smile: "Take care——"

"Ok?"

However, Mo Tan suddenly stopped and looked thoughtfully at Tang Ciba, who had his head lowered. When he tried to reach out and lift the latter's chin, he was stopped by the system and could not move.

"what?"

Tang Ciba raised his little face blankly and looked at Mo Tan in confusion: "Is there... anything wrong?"

"……Do not."

Mo Tan shook his head slightly, then gave the lady a bright and beautiful smile, and walked out into the night without looking back: "Nothing."

"Well, farewell."

Spider, who also walked to the door, turned around and said something to the bad hot girl, Lucy and Tangciba. Rona, who was standing next to him, folded her hands in front of her and leaned over to greet her, then followed Mo Tan and left.

"See you later."

Yi Dong naturally did not stay for long, but smiled at the bad girl before leaving: "Since Tan Mo has already agreed on my behalf, if you need me, you are welcome."

"Don't worry. Ever since you made me look so ashamed during the [Criminal Debate], I have no intention of being polite to you anymore."

The bad girl smiled calmly, then waved her hand and said, "Go away, don't delay my work."

"Haha, you hold a grudge like that..."

After sighing half-jokingly, Yi Dong waved to the three people again and left No. 17 Xinghe Avenue with brisk steps.

The bad hot girl also turned to look at the last 'uninvited guest' here.

"I know."

Lucy nodded and said calmly, "I won't tell Four Eyes about Winter."

"..."

Glancing at Lucy with a complicated expression, the bad hottie finally chose not to dwell on why the other party so naturally called Futaba by the nickname that Mo Tan gave her. She just explained lightly: "Just because Rin Dong can directly revive a dead NPC, I have to have a good relationship with him."

Lucy continued to nod: "Yeah."

"..."

The bad girl who always felt that the other party didn't believe her at all, but also thought that the other party would not leak the secret to Futaba was silent for a while. Seeing that Lucy had no intention of leaving, she hesitantly asked: "After I finish cleaning up here, I will go to the store with Tangtang. What do you say?"

"I'll help you clean up."

"There's no need to be so annoying..."

"Then I'll go to the store with you guys and have a working lunch."

"Eh?" "Brother just sent me a message asking me to go back early. It's my turn to cook today."

"Aren't you all gamers?"

“It’s one thing not to have to eat, it’s another to enjoy wild game.”

"Uh, so you're still going to stay here for the working lunch?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"I suddenly had an idea. I want to do something innovative with dinner."

"so what?"

"I think it will taste terrible, so I'll eat it here first."

"As for players, they shouldn't feel hungry or full, right? Even if you eat here, you can go back and eat more."

"it does not matter."

"Is it okay?"

"Well, because there aren't many people like you who like to make everything so complicated."

"..."

……

at the same time

"Why are you alone?"

Yi Dong, who only saw Mo Tan, frowned, then quickened his pace and walked side by side with the former, and asked, "Where are Spider and Rona?"

"They are waiting for me in the old town. There is a carriage that His Royal Highness the Regent has helped to prepare. The comfort level is very worth looking forward to."

Mo Tan raised his hands above his head and stretched his body, saying lazily, "As for you, do you want to go directly to the Mage Guild to teleport to Crystal City, or do you plan to take the flight from the Pan-Gnome Business Circle half an hour later?"

"airship."

Yi Dong pulled the corner of his mouth and said dryly: "The teleportation fee is too expensive. Your Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are in good condition recently. There is no need for me to rush back in such a hurry."

"That's right. We all need to slow down a bit so we don't take too big a step and end up hurting our balls."

Mo Tan agreed with this, and then asked in a leisurely tone: "By the way, if you need some private space, send Ned and the others to Skork. I can find someone to ensure their safety from Crystal Wolf to Skork. There are also necromancers there. Although their level is a bit poor, it should not be a problem for them to hold on until Futaba can come up with a solution."

Yi Dong thought for a moment and asked curiously, "You mean, let Ned, Yinna, Crabbe and Salazar meet up with Black Fan, and then let Black Fan tell Futaba the news, leaving the task of repairing the bodies of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to her, and by the way, do her a favor in the name of Tanmo?"

"Yes."

Mo Tan nodded and said with great satisfaction: "What a clever little boy."

"Go to hell."

Yi Dong rolled his eyes and asked unhappily, "I remember you were planning to use those four guys as a heavier bargaining chip to put Shuangye at a disadvantage in your childish game of killing each other. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Mo Tan chuckled and said nonchalantly, "I have already tried it once when I was in Academy City. If repeated methods work on that woman, I won't have to work so hard."

Yi Dong glanced at him with a strange expression. "That's not what you said before. And even if Ned and the others don't take action, you should have hundreds of ways to use them to gain advantages for yourself, right?"

"My suggestion to ask you to send them to Skolk is one way to do it."

Mo Tan snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Not only did she get four fearless super soldiers from Hei Fan, but she also got to throw the troublesome task of strengthening her body to that stupid tablet. In the end, she still has to owe Tan Mo a favor. This is a good idea that kills three birds with one stone. You can't come up with it even if you evolve into a smart guy."

Yi Dong kicked Mo Tan and cursed, "Don't take it upon yourself to arrange other people's evolutionary routes, bastard."

The latter smiled but said nothing. He just casually brushed off the shoe prints on his robe and raised his eyebrows and said, "So, what do you think?"

"Ah."

Yi Dong sneered and asked, "You haven't even explained the reason clearly yet, how dare you ask me what I think?"

So, Mo Tan stopped and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, which was completely different from the one outside the game but equally bright. He said quietly, "The storm is coming, man. Now all signs show that this game will soon enter a new stage. In the future, any pig can fly as long as it stands on the wind. There is no reason for the [Joker] to be absent."

"so what?"

"The Joker card needs that thin woman. Compared to me, whose online time is unstable, she is more suitable to be the helmsman and soul figure at this stage."

"how about you?"

"Haha, is there any need to ask? Since she was hiding in the City of Miracles and secretly upgrading while I was working on the [Joker Card], then I naturally have to take advantage of her busy work in the Free City to exercise and make the most of the time to narrow the gap between us."

"anything else?"

"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. It's time to clean up some of the things in the gutter."

"How to say?"

"The minority of the Sun Cult, you know?"

"You know, the one that almost killed you?"

"They seem to be a little too good at jumping."

"So? Just you?"

"Why me?"

"Just because of you, you want to clean up that minority group that you can tell is very powerful just by listening to them?"

"Of course it's impossible at this stage, but if we lay the groundwork a little bit and sow some seeds... it will eventually bear fruit."

"anything else?"

"What?"

"You haven't finished explaining the reason why Ned and the others went to the north."

"Ah."

"Don't sneer, your pretense won't work on me."

"It just suddenly occurred to me that you haven't had much free time in the past six months. Isn't it time for you to take a vacation and have some free time?"

"No, it's been almost eleven months since the server was launched, and you just realized that I haven't had much free time?"

"Not at all."

"what is that?"

"It's just that after noticing that my luck with women is very strong in every sense of the word, I feel even more sympathetic towards you."

"roll."
