Quadruple split.

Chapter 2679 Interlude: The Meeting
"As soon as possible?"

Ji Xiaoge was taken aback.

"Is now the best time?"

Mo Tan was also taken aback.

"Yes, yes."

Cordova nodded and said cheerfully, "The person I just contacted was Miss Jiu Chong from the [Crimson Constellation] Club. She was quite anxious, saying that they had already held an emergency meeting and hoped we could meet as soon as possible."

"Oh! Sister Jiuzhong is a very nice person!"

Ji Xiaoge flapped her wings and said cheerfully. It was clear that she had a good impression of the older sister who often chatted with her but never mentioned work.

On Cordova's monitor, two standard Common words appeared: "Sparrow's Food." He said seriously, "They mean they want to meet with us first to confirm the mission conditions and specific rewards, and then see what kind of cooperation method to adopt."

Jadka chuckled and said with delight, "You didn't even mention the possibility of not cooperating, but went straight to saying what kind of cooperation you want to take? That's very sincere."

"They have a large and powerful family business. Although they may not be as wealthy as the Gold Coin Merchant Guild or the Steam Consortium, they are still quite powerful, and their wealth is definitely not as poor as yours, Lao Jia."

Cordova, who was well aware of the wealth and status of this young master Diesel, chuckled and then turned directly to the winged girl in question to confirm: "So what do you plan to do?"

"Uh, I...I don't know."

Although she was a very cheerful and energetic girl, Ji Xiaoge wasn't particularly good at dealing with professionals in the workplace. She awkwardly pointed to her index finger, then cautiously turned to look at Mo Tan. She took small steps closer and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Um, can you give me some advice, sir?"

"What do you mean by 'head of the household'?"

Mo Tan poked Ji Xiaoge's forehead with a wry smile, then after a moment's thought, said, "In that case, let Ya Ya and Jadka keep you company here while Cordova and I go talk to the people at the [Professional Security Federation] about the situation."

Ji Xiaoge shook her wings and said somewhat uneasily, "Is this okay?"

"all right."

Mo Tan chuckled and said with amusement, "Why not?"

"Sister Jiuchong is still very cute at such a young age."

As Ji Xiaoge curled herself into a shuttlecock with her wings, she muttered, "If I stand next to you, it seems like we have the cutest height difference!"

Mo Tan pointed directly at Cordoba and laughed, "If that's the case, wouldn't that girl from the Nine Heavens be even cuter standing next to Cordoba?"

Ji Xiaoge paused for a moment, then shook her head vigorously and said, "No, no, Xiaoyu... Ah, I mean, there shouldn't be any such strange romantic possibility in Cordoba."

"Pigeon……"

Cordova's monitor immediately displayed a skull image, looking utterly dejected, and said, "Don't you think what you said was a bit too hurtful? What do you mean there's no possibility of any romantic involvement? What's wrong with me having a few passionate romances at this prime of my life? Huh? What's wrong with that!?"

Ji Xiaoge shrank back and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Xiaoyu, you're so outstanding, you'll definitely attract good girls in the future. I'm telling you, trust me!"

"Thank you!"

Cordova shook his head irritably, then turned to Mo Tan and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's do it your way. Let's go talk to the people from [Job Security Alliance] first, and then keep in touch with Pigeon if we get any news."

After saying that, Cordova's monitor suddenly went black, and the entire robot collapsed to the ground as if it had run out of power, slowly curling up into an "OTZ" shape over the next few seconds.

"Then I'll leave too. Don't worry, I'm just going to talk to them over there about how to handle the mission."

Mo Tan nodded to Ji Xiaoge, who wasn't really worried and was just using the opportunity to act cute, then turned to Jadka and Ya Ya and said with a smile, "I'll leave this place to you. Although there shouldn't be any unexpected situations, it's best to be careful. Ye Ge and I suffered quite a bit in the upper district before."

"Do not worry."

"Wang Xinba!"

Jadka and Yaya both gave reassuring responses.

"Go play with your sister for a while."

Finally, Mo Tan raised her hand and 'plucked' the badminton shuttlecock that was hanging on her shoulder. She gently tossed it to Ji Xiaoge, then rolled her eyes and collapsed onto Wang Badan's shell.

……

five minutes later
A boundary of innocence, a public space, [Green Apple Studio - Third Meeting Room]

"Long time no see, brothers of Córdoba."

Almost the instant the white light flashed, Lucel, the captain of the [Windbreaker Bird] club, quickly stepped forward, grinned at Cordova, whom he had met twice in the public space recently, and then immediately extended his right hand to Mo Tan beside him: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Brother Mo. Our Youming has always wanted to spar with you. How about it, how about we consider giving him a lesson when we have time?"

Mo Tan shook his head modestly and smiled, "Captain Lucerne is joking."

"You know perfectly well whether I'm joking or not. Come on, everyone's been waiting inside for a bit."

Luselle chuckled, then turned and led the two into the main hall, saying in a lighthearted tone, "There might be a bit too many people, but we're just having a casual chat, so please don't think of it as a formal occasion."

"hiss--"

Upon entering the main hall, Cordova (in his rune form) stared wide-eyed at the table surrounded by about a dozen people and exclaimed, "Isn't that a bit too many?"

"It's really not true."

Lusell shook his head vigorously and said very sincerely, "Only about a third of the clubs and studios that are interested in this matter have come. The others are still waiting for news from us. Please sit down. You two, please sit in the middle. This is the center position that was specially reserved for our professional gamer, the role model of our generation, Master Xinglong, and the invincible one."

Xinglong, who was sitting in the corner eating an egg tart, sighed and shook his head, saying, "Don't joke with me."

"agree."

Sitting opposite Xinglong, next to Holy Light Old King, Guoshi Wushuang cleared his throat, pointed to his face and corrected, "And I must emphasize, my name is 'Guoshi Wushuang,' which refers to a winning hand, not 'Tianxia Wudi,' thank you."

"On another note—"

The typing warrior, who brought Jin Beibei to the meeting representing [Rebirth], innocently raised his hand and asked curiously, "Why don't you call this hand 'Thirteen Orphans', 'Thirteen Orphans and Nine Orphans', or 'Thirteen Orphans'? Why do you have to call it the Japanese mahjong hand 'Peerless Hero'? Are you unpatriotic? Are you a spiritual Japanese pirate?"

"Because the IP 'Thirteen Orphans' was not allowed to be used when I was playing the game, and the other two were already taken, so I had to make do and use the name 'Peerless Hero'."

Guoshi Wushuang gave a very serious explanation, but whether his explanation was true or not, no one present, including the typist who had made the accusation, cared. After Mo Tan and Cordova took their seats, Lusail, who often represented the [Joint Security Alliance] due to his affable personality, continued to fulfill his duties as host, cheerfully saying, "Well, everyone has already read the general content that the Cordova brothers just sent us, but if it's convenient, we would like the two of you to reiterate the specifics and further refine the intelligence."

Mo Tan and Cordova exchanged a glance, both agreeing that the request was reasonable. They then gave a concise introduction to Ji Xiaoge's series of quests, omitting some details irrelevant to the specific quests, thus providing these professional players with additional information.

"I see."

Luselle nodded slightly, then stroked her chin and turned to look at everyone present, asking, "Although I think it's a bit redundant, I'll confirm it again anyway. Do you all think it's necessary for us to try to get Night Song's series of missions? Those who think it's unnecessary, please speak up."

"I."

The typing warrior immediately raised his right hand and said in a serious tone, "I don't think you need to waste your time on this. Why don't I, [Burning Fire], do it instead..."

"Shut up!"

Gymboree glared fiercely at him with her diamond watch and snapped, "When have we ever needed you to represent us?!"

"I think it would be better if our [Burning Flame] family cooperated with Miss Night Song to repair that fortress."

Then, sitting next to the typing warrior, Jin Beibei, the young lady of the [Jinbaobei] studio and the logistics manager of [Yuhuo], smiled and finished speaking for the scoundrel next to her.

"Yes, what Miss Beibei said makes a lot of sense."

Diamond Watch took a deep breath and forced a smile, "But as the saying goes, sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, so I think everyone should participate more."

Baihua Sha glanced at the diamond watch and sneered, "Look at your pathetic self. Don't say anything more. Brother Mo, Brother Cordoba, we [Yingyingyan] are definitely planning to sign up enthusiastically for this. Tsk tsk, to be honest, just the requirement that Miss Yege can only participate in the test is perfect for our sisters. As for you stinky men, you might as well go and get a beating from Brother Cordoba!"

"!"

Before Cordova could react, Mo Tan's expression stiffened. He abruptly turned to Baihua Sha, his face very serious, and said, "Excuse me, Captain Baihua, there's something I need to ask you—"

"sorry."

Baihua Sha's expression also turned solemn. He stood up, bowed to Mo Tan, and solemnly said, "I only like women!"

That's exactly the problem I'm afraid of!

Upon hearing this, Mo Tan's expression darkened further. After composing himself, he said in a deep voice, "I'd like to know, Captain Baihua, do you plan to pursue a career in engineering?"

"No, I'm not planning on doing that. I'm a liberal arts student, I can't handle those gears and parts, and even those R18 toys are..."

"Well, President Baihua, how many sisters in our [Yingyingyan] club are interested in engineering and plan to participate in this mission?"

"There will definitely be many, and we estimate that we will also open up internal bounties to encourage qualified people to sign up. After all, judging from the looks of it, Miss Night Song's test is the simplest. We have the advantage of gender, so there's no reason not to send more people."

"Um……"

"What's your expression?"

"If I may ask, how many of the ladies in our club do you share common interests with?"

"Oh? So many! There are tons! We're best friends, how could we not have anything in common? For example, Lucel and Xinglong's doujinshi. Although they're not as mainstream as Lucel and Sakaki's doujinshi, whenever someone shares the resources, the response is still very enthusiastic..."

"cough."

Luselle finally couldn't help but interrupt Baihua Sha, saying in a dry voice, "I don't think that's what Brother Mo wants to ask."

"what?"

Baihua Sha was taken aback for a moment, then asked curiously, "What does he want to ask?"

"He probably wanted to ask..."

Typing Warrior glanced at Baihua Sha, then gave Mo Tan a friendly smile: "Wouldn't [Yingying Yan] send a lot of lesbians to that fortress to get close to that Night Song girl, right?"

Mo Tan sighed and lowered his head in acquiescence.

"Oh, no, not that."

Baihua Sha shrugged and shook his head readily, saying, "Because the HR department is worried that I will be promiscuous during the day, they have been keeping a close watch on me. There are basically no people in the club who share my sexual orientation, which is quite a regrettable thing."

"call--"

Mo Tan let out a long sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair with a relaxed expression, and said, "I'm fine now."

"Let's get down to business."

The president of the [Villain Valley] club, the top of the Ten Villains, a handsome middle-aged man with long hair and a high level of style, 'Zangyue', smiled faintly and said softly: "First of all, since everyone is planning to participate in the [Regional Mission] in the hands of Miss Yege and gain some benefits from it, I personally think that everyone should at least do their job properly in terms of attitude. What do you say?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, clearly without any objection.

“Alright, since everyone agrees with this, I propose that once our respective logistics departments are ready, we should have Night Song start the mission as soon as possible. We will then send a group of people to the first outer mountain of Tianzhu Mountain to meet Night Song after confirming the specific requirements.”

Zang Yue picked up the cup of Kang Shifu iced tea in front of her, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and said slowly, "At the same time, we will pay Miss Ye Ge 10,000 gold coins each. If the rewards for subsequent tasks are of higher value, we will increase the reward proportionally. In any case, we will ensure that Miss Ye Ge does not suffer any loss. What do you say?"

'！！！！！！！'

Although Cordova tried his best to keep a straight face, he still shamelessly sent a bunch of exclamation marks to Mo Tan.

Mo Tan, who was already financially well-off, nodded and said seriously, "We have no objections."

"Very well, in that case..."

"Please wait a moment, Lord of Burial Moon Valley."

"Please speak, Brother Mo."

"Although it's a bit of a digression, I seem to have heard something about you professional players before, and I'm quite interested in it."

"But it doesn't hurt to ask."

"Everyone, do you have a grudge against the Viper Merchant Guild?"
