Quadruple split.

Chapter 2566 [Trump Card]

Game time PM22:47
Public space, Tan Mo's private room
"Then what..."

The handsome elf who appeared here with a flash of white light pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and asked with a very subtle expression: "Should I call you Tan Mo or Second Uncle today?"

The whole person shrank in the shadow behind the table, with only a vague outline, and Mo Tan, whose expression could not be seen at all, chuckled and said, "Just Tan Mo."

Upon hearing this, Jun Wu's arrogance suddenly rose. He immediately did a terrifyingly difficult high-leg lift, stepped on the chair next to him with one foot, and said angrily: "Are you sick? Are you sick? Do you know what time it is now? Do you know how busy the hostel is? Do you know how difficult the new crazy woman in your [Joker] is? Do you know how busy I am? I am so busy now that I wish I could split one Kro into two, do you know? Yuying, who accompanied you on the business trip, is still suffering from nervous breakdown and hasn't recovered yet, do you know? Huh?!"

Mo Tan glanced at the man in front of him who had won the honorary title of "Rising Star of Hostel" for two consecutive quarters. He looked aggressive as if he owed him a lot of money (indeed), and said lightly: "The first-class deacon of the Viper Chamber of Commerce who has just arrived at Ankh Market, the Woodworm, who is under the command of the new "Snake Head" of the Twenty-Man Committee, Ms. Moth, lost a medium-sized but extremely bad sex trading venue a few hours ago. If nothing unexpected happens, they should also lose a secret excavation site located at the border of the permafrost and Ankh."

"Oh my second uncle!"

Boss Jun seemed to have turned into light at that moment. He sat down on the chair that he had just used as a footrest in a straight, orderly, and quiet manner. His handsome and intellectual face was filled with a flattering smile. He said with a smirk, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Come on, come on, if there's anything you need from me, your nephew, just tell me. Whether it's asking Kro to work another 48 hours or shortening Yuying's skirt by five centimeters, it's all up to you to say a word!"

"it is good."

Mo Tan nodded and said in a very smooth voice, "Then let's shorten Yuying's skirt by five centimeters."

Jun Wu: "Ah, this..."

"just kidding."

Mo Tan waved his hand and said in a leisurely tone: "I owed her a favor from Violet before, so let's just pretend that the matter of shortening the skirt this time never happened. Go back and tell her, we don't owe each other anything."

"No problem, I will definitely bring it to you."

Jun Wu made a promise in all seriousness, then frowned and asked, "Speaking of which, Second Master, are you feeling a little...not so good?"

Mo Tan sneered and said arrogantly: "What a joke! How can you see that I am not in good condition?"

Jun Wu: "...but you have been shaking since just now."

"Oh, then you are right."

Curled up in a chair, his face pale to the point of being transparent, Mo Tan, who was almost drenched in cold sweat despite being in a public space, replied nonchalantly. While twitching constantly due to the sequelae of the severe headache just now, he changed the subject back to the main business and asked directly: "Now, I need to use the Wanderer Inn's channel in Anka to do something, is that okay?"

Jun Wu pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a fake smile: "Can you tell me what it is first?"

"It's not a big deal."

Mo Tan smiled briskly and said in a very friendly tone: "Check the friend messages. I just sent a list of 126 people. The names on it are all bad guys who have seriously violated the Ankh order. Their behavior is even worse than that of the evil god believers who like to sacrifice blood to several families every now and then."

Jun Wu's face froze, and his eyes lost focus for about five seconds before he continued calmly asking, "So? What do you want me to do?"

"Find someone in the Ankh Market who has enough power to launch a medium-scale purge, who puts justice or order first, and who has no conflict of interest with the people on the list, and briefly relay the little episode that happened not long ago to him."

Mo Tan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "My minimum requirement is that everyone on the list be monitored or controlled within an hour. In addition, as long as the evidence is handed over to the corresponding person in charge, those little bad guys will immediately pay a price that matches their past actions."

"Although I don't know almost any of the people on that list—"

Jun Wu closed the message in the corner of his vision that indeed had 126 names. Most of them were probably edited by the other party a long time ago. He said with a somewhat melancholy expression: "But my instinct tells me that the network of relationships woven by these people should not be underestimated even in the entire Ankh. If you want to find someone who can easily deal with them, even if you have some so-called evidence in your hands... the difficulty may be outrageous."

Mo Tan shook his head slightly, and said in a tone that sounded like a kindergarten teacher teaching children to go poop when they have a stomachache: "Look at what you said. Although there are indeed some scums in this world who like to stir up trouble and fish in troubled waters, as the saying goes, the world is full of vicissitudes, there are still many good people in this world, so go and find them for me."

"I can try, but there's no guarantee."

Jun Wu spread his hands and said sincerely, "Of course there are people like you mentioned. After all, Ankh Market is different from Free City. In the final analysis, it is still a place where the overall environment is more inclined to order. But the problem is that with my personal influence and channels, it may be difficult to perfectly fulfill your commission. You should know that the real difficulty of this matter lies in whether I can cross the class gap, connect with those powerful people in Ankh Market, and let them give me face."

Mo Tan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can't you?"

"I am not sure."

Jun Wu did not give a definite answer, but told the truth: "Thanks to your 'investment', my status in the Wanderer Inn has indeed risen rapidly in the past six months, but because of this, it is becoming increasingly difficult to continue to maintain a neutral status. It is fine to stay in my own store and wait for resources and dependence to come to me, but if I take the initiative because of something... I am afraid that it will become a breakthrough in the eyes of some people."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and continued to ask: "So?"

Jun Wu pursed his lips, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke slowly, "So, if you think this matter is important enough, I can help you get it done at any cost, but if I can't handle it well, my situation in the hostel will become delicate. At that time, although I am sure I can protect myself, Wei Yang, Xiao Liu, and even Yu Ying, I am afraid that whether I can continue to cooperate with you as in the past... I am afraid that I will have to put a question mark."

"I see. But I noticed... Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

Mo Tan smiled noncommittally, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly burst into a violent coughing sound as if he was going to cough out his kidneys. Then he fell on the table with his hands covering his chest, looking pale. At first glance, he looked like dead.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Boss Jun had never seen anyone with even the slightest physical discomfort in a public space. He was so frightened that he almost went crazy and asked quickly, "Are you okay? You're not going to die here, are you? Harmonize the system quickly! Is it normal to die in a public space? "

"It's not a big problem...big...probably."

Mo Tan struggled to lean back in his chair, panting and squeezing out two dry laughs from between his teeth: "I think it should be... the price I paid for teasing the system in order to get through the headache of going online...hiss...I'm going to die, die, die, die."

Jun Wu, who didn't know if the guy in front of him was really going to die, didn't say anything. He just stared at Mo Tan, ready to contact the online GM at any time to report that someone had died in the game, until the latter breathed a sigh of relief after a few seconds and regained his ability to speak. "So, let's continue with what you just said..."

Mo Tan's voice was obviously weaker than before, he slumped in the chair and said lightly: "I noticed that you didn't mention Mr. Crowe who you used as a beast just now."

Jun Wu laughed dumbly, and said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course, you know that although Kro is nominally an employee of my Wuyequ branch, he is a real young master. Even if he is willing to come here to work like a cow... to experience life, he won't really let me protect him, right?"

"So my advice to you is, if you can handle it yourself, hurry up and help me. If you can't handle it, ask Chloe Illumina, who is already lost in life and turns a blind eye to the cruel reality just because of a moment of beauty, to help me."

Mo Tan also laughed and said leisurely: "As for the consequences...ha, you can just ignore those idlers who are destined to never enter the Wanderer Inn. As long as Kro is still working in your store, you will be fine."

Jun Wu frowned deeply and said hesitantly: "But..."

"I know what you want to say."

Mo Tan interrupted him without further ado and ended the conversation unilaterally: "You owe Kro a favor, and I will repay you when necessary, so hurry up and do your work. Time is running out, and I don't want to see any accidents."

"..."

Finally, after a few seconds of silence, Jun Wu nodded and stood up, leaving a sentence "I'll contact you later", and then turned into white light and disappeared in front of Mo Tan.

Almost at the same time when Jun Wu disappeared——

"Your Mightiness."

With another seamless white light, a tall, lightly made-up, intellectual young woman appeared in front of Mo Tan. She said respectfully in her soft and gentle voice, "I'm here."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Mo Tan smiled at the person in front of him. He was completely different from the crazy person in the game. His makeup, hairstyle, and hair color were all very different. He looked like a normal person. He asked casually, "How is the [Doll]?"

"As for Miss Rona, although her mental state remains relatively delicate, her communication seems to be smoother than before, probably."

Spider first gave a simple answer, and then said truthfully: "But it hasn't been that long since you went offline, so you can actually understand that... nothing has changed."

Mo Tan, whose condition had improved slightly but was still in severe discomfort, nodded nonchalantly and said casually, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this romantic journey will have to end early. To put it more bluntly... the situation is urgent, and I need you to go to Anka Market immediately."

Spider was stunned for a moment. Although there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, he nodded decisively and said, "I understand, sir. Shall we set off now?"

"Yes."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, and then said in a brisk tone: "After you log into the game, briefly explain it to Rona, and then go directly to the nearest Pato City Mage Guild to teleport to Anka Market and wait for my instructions."

Realizing that this matter was probably of great importance, Spider did not hesitate at all and immediately said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, I will..."

"As compensation."

Mo Tan interrupted her with a chuckle and said, "I will arrange for our trump card to cooperate with your work. In addition, the [maid] from the Free City will also meet you before dawn."

The spider's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed softly, "You mean 'trump card'?"

"Yes."

Mo Tan, who had already anticipated the other party's reaction, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave an affirmative answer in a cheerful tone.

The spider's breathing gradually became rapid, and even two blushes of excitement appeared on her cheeks.

The reason, of course, was because of the 'trump card' that Mo Tan promised to cooperate with her.

As the most special type of card among the [Clown Cards], the 'Hollow Card' with a face value of [2] and only two cards, black and red, is not as powerful as special role cards such as [Supervisor], [Clown], [Maid], and [Lobbyist] in terms of absolute authority, and cannot call up even a single card of the lowest level [3]. However, it also has extreme privileges such as being free from any authority restrictions and being able to withdraw unlimited organizational resources.

The most important thing is that the "trump card" is only responsible to the corresponding "ace card" and is not restricted by any rules. In other words, although they are members of the organization, they can ignore the underlying logic of the organization and have absolute immunity from reasoning with anyone.

Although the above content does not seem to be a big deal, as the organization of Harlequin grows stronger, its weight will become heavier and even destroy the balance.

To sum up, the existence of these two cards, one black and one red, is the privilege of the two trump cards, 'Tan Mo' and 'Shuang Ye'.

Not only that, whether it is Mo Tan's black trump card or Futaba's red trump card, its confidentiality level is absolutely independent, and even cadres at the level of King of Hearts and ACE have no right to inquire.

As for Spider, besides the two trump cards, he will be the first person to know the identity of Black 2 as Tan Mo's absolute confidant.

……

Five minutes later, Spider, who had just returned to the game and left Maple Sugar Town, received a system message:

[Player: Princess/Chaotic Neutral, I would like to add you as a friend. Do you accept? ]
