Quadruple split.

Chapter 2733 Negotiation
"The Absolutely Safe Express?"

Mo Tan shuddered involuntarily, and some not-so-pleasant memories flashed through her mind.

The reason is simple: although he had indeed flown on the "Absolutely Safe Express" more than once, that thing was only fast; in short, it was extremely unsafe.

To be honest, has anyone here ever seen the attack power displayed on a vehicle's panel?

So that thing is more of a missile than a vehicle!

It's at most a manned missile!

"Seriously, Night Song."

Mo Tan swallowed hard and said earnestly to the winged beauty with sparkling eyes, "We have no past grudges or recent conflicts with Academy City. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at them right away?"

Ji Xiaoge covered her mouth and chuckled, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

“But I didn’t trigger ‘honesty’.”

Mo Tan sighed and spread his hands, saying, "Do you know what this means?"

Ji Xiaoge blinked and asked curiously, "What does it mean?"

"This means that even the system thinks there's nothing wrong with me calling the 'Absolutely Safe Express' an 'intercontinental ballistic missile'."

Mo Tan slapped his forehead and said weakly, "Besides, Academy City is full of children and teenagers, which is fundamentally different from Dragon Soul Town. It's really not worth the trouble."

Ji Xiaoge pouted and gently poked Mo Tan's nose: "But I said I was going to deliver something! Not launch the 'Absolutely Safe Express' to bomb the school!"

"But from a consequentialist perspective..."

Mo Tan sighed and shook his head, saying, "I can't feel any difference between the two. After all, I've witnessed the Express's attack more than once from the best viewing seats."

Ji Xiaoge shook her wings and corrected him by biting her lip, "It's 'landing'!"

"Well, you could call it a 'landing'."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and recalled, "Speaking of which, Ye Ge, you should still remember the first time we met, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoge blushed slightly, pursed her lips, and nodded vigorously, saying, "I remember! It was in Dragon Soul Town. I had a misunderstanding with Lao Jia and Ya Ya while I was working, and then... you came."

Mo Tan nodded again and asked, "How did I get here?"

“Falling from the sky!”

Ji Xiaoge's eyes lit up as she recounted the 'first encounter CG', now blurred by filters: "Like a peerless hero!"

Mo Tan pinched the bridge of his nose and said with a subtle expression, "Be more realistic."

"It fell from the sky."

Ji Xiaoge shrank her neck and turned off the filter of her memories.

How did I fall from the sky?

"They crashed from the 'Absolutely Safe Express'."

"How's its attack power?"

"That's pretty impressive, the whole store was smashed up."

"Oh, yes."

Mo Tan sighed and shrugged, "So now you're planning to launch that thing into Academy City..."

"That's different!"

Ji Xiaoge waved her hand forcefully and retorted, "Your accident that time was because the components were installed incorrectly, and we've taken the express train several times since then, and you didn't say anything about it!"

"Because if we encounter any unexpected situations, we should be able to handle them."

Mo Tan smiled and explained gently, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not really against your idea. I just hope that all factors can be taken into account before implementation. After all, educational and medical facilities are too sensitive places. If we really want to do it, we must consider everything carefully."

Seeing that her sweetheart didn't deny her idea, Ji Xiaoge immediately said cheerfully, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it. Actually, our biggest problem was that the design concept of the 'Absolutely Safe Express' was rather extreme, a bit like 'wanting both,' which is why we always had some minor issues."

Mo Tan: "...Tell me more?"

"Simply put, the mentor's research and development philosophy is all about high-quality products. So whether it's [Gafei Cat], [Absolutely Safe Express], or [Rune Body], his basic philosophy is to make them all form their own system."

Ji Xiaoge first said this string of words, then realized that she might have described it in a somewhat abstract way, so she quickly explained it in a simpler and clearer way: "You can understand it as the mentor hoping that his creations do not need maintenance, do not need to be charged, are not picky about the environment of use, and do not have any obvious defects."

Mo Tan pondered for a moment, then his brows slowly furrowed, clearly thinking of some unpleasant things, such as Cordova being directly killed by [Gafei Cat], and himself almost perishing with the [Absolutely Safe Express].

"Well, because of their long lifespan, mentors don't really consider time costs in their development. And what we can access are basically prototypes among prototypes, so there are bound to be all sorts of problems. Even Cordova's [Rune Body] has a huge energy problem that's holding it back."

Having clearly guessed what Mo Tan was thinking, Ji Xiaoge coughed lightly and said with a smile, "In short, although the pursuit of perfection can be very bumpy, if we adjust our basic concepts slightly, the situation will immediately be different."

"I understand."

As a person who is intelligent in every sense of the word, Mo Tan naturally understood the other party's idea immediately and said seriously, "So you mean that if we don't pursue many aspects such as service life, we can completely optimize it to create an absolutely safe 'Extremely Safe Express' that meets the requirements of conventional flight vehicles and intercontinental ballistic missiles?"

"Yes, although the teacher definitely won't like it, I think this idea is pretty good."

Ji Xiaoge chuckled and said cheerfully, "My initial idea is to work on modifying the [Absolutely Safe Express] while building a helipad... shipping... uh, a hangar? Anyway, something like that at the [Isaac Comprehensive Academy] where Dabus and Teacher Tian are. This way, we can carry out maintenance work in both the Seventh Outer Mountain and Academy City at the same time."

"Hmm~"

"Oh right, we also need to get one of those Valhalla beacons I mentioned before. That can be deployed directly in the special classes for those ogre kids. If all goes well, we can then conduct remote teaching, deployment, and testing."

"That sounds good, I'll try my best to help."

"Hehe, this should make Dabus and Professor Tian happy too. Although engineering is relatively limited, it's still a skill, uh... right?"

Halfway through her speech, Ji Xiaoge suddenly looked at Mo Tan with a hint of unease, her expression slightly hesitant.

It's clear that while the girl is extremely enthusiastic about this matter, she is also very worried that she might be "misleading the children" and ruining the "future" of those cannibalistic children.

In her view, if a student chooses a bad major during their studies, they will still face many troubles, no matter how broad their job prospects are now.

but--

“In the [Realm of Innocence], most ogres don’t have the habit of receiving education. Although some are exceptionally talented in the mystical, and some individuals have become scholars through continuous learning, they are still just exceptions.” Mo Tan smiled slightly, gently reassuring the winged beauty in front of her who was being overly kind, and said with a smile, “As for us, Dabus, and Teacher Tian, ​​we have already provided those older children with a relatively comfortable environment. As for what the future holds, it ultimately depends on them. After all, even the best guardians cannot find a so-called 'optimal path,' because such a thing that varies from person to person does not exist in the first place.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoge immediately flapped her wings happily: "Then I'll start preparing right now?"

"Well, I'll briefly talk to Dabus and the others about it. We might still need to figure out the landing issue for the improved Express."

Mo Tan smiled and shrugged, saying, "If Academy City has any prevention and control measures, we'll probably have to let the Teachers' Union or the law enforcement team know."

"I'll briefly explain the situation to the testing teams and tell them to go and do other things first. Then they can go to the console to come up with a solution. The console here is compatible with Professor Lu Wei's little plugins, and even the storage unit can be used by adding an interface. It's very convenient."

"it is good."

"You can stay by my side and keep me company. Anyway, I can just contact Dabus and send them messages."

"it is good."

Game time 19:21
Academy City, Enforcement Team Compound, Captain's Office
"Yes, I've already looked into the situation."

Tall, handsome, and with his silver hair neatly combed back, the refined dark elf man wearing glasses, Foster Ward, the head of the Academy City Enforcement Team, nodded slightly, slowly placing the parchment back on the table. He then calmly nodded to the two (three-headed) figures before him and said, "Although this violates at least fifteen prohibitions and twenty-seven regulations, however..."

Dabus swallowed nervously and asked in a dry voice, "But what?"

"However, you people from other worlds have a saying, 'Special cases are handled specially.' Considering the special nature of the 'Special Class' under the 'Shuhai Special Research' organization, which is a partner of the 'Isaac Comprehensive Academy,' I think there is still a lot of room for negotiation on this matter."

Foster, a student with immense influence and connections in Academy City, and hailed as having the greatest power in nearly five centuries, adjusted his glasses and calmly stated, "First of all, even within Academy City, we have long been aware of the Viper Merchant Guild's modus operandi. Based on feedback from reliable sources, my initial assessment is that the identities and backgrounds of the students in the Special Class are mostly true. As innocent victims, and with kind-hearted individuals willing to help contain them, Academy City should naturally provide a certain degree of cooperation."

Anthony, who was much more mature than he had been six months ago, widened his eyes in surprise and asked, "So you agreed to be with us?"

“I remember saying something like ‘There’s a lot of room for negotiation on this matter.’”

Foster smiled faintly and said in a calm tone, "Including myself, the administrators of Academy City aren't exactly noble. In fact, even truly noble people, when in certain positions, can't do what they want as they please, but..."

"However, the administrators of Academy City... or rather, Captain Foster Ward, would be happy to provide a certain degree of convenience when others do good deeds."

Tian Xingdao adjusted his glasses and asked with a light laugh, "Is that so?"

"I'll do my best."

Foster noncommittally toyed with the quill pen in his hand, and said without looking up, "So you two may leave now."

"Eh?"

Just as Anthony was about to say something more, Dabs gently patted his head, so he obediently stood up with the latter and politely said goodbye to Foster: "Thank you, Foster, Captain."

"Captain Fufu?"

Foster raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled, "To be honest, this is the cutest nickname I've heard in recent years. Thank you, Anthony."

Tianxingdao then gave Foster an elegant bow and said politely, "Then we await good news, Captain."

"If you have time, you can go and have a chat with the dean of [Isaac Comprehensive Academy]."

Foster leaned back in his chair and said casually, "If we're lucky enough to get all the necessary paperwork done, then as the school that accepts the special class, Isaac General Academy will also receive a considerable amount of funding. We should remind them about this when the time is right."

"When do you think that Dean of the Academy would be available?"

"Who knows? Maybe he'll be able to find some time to talk to you tonight."

"I see."

"Well then, I still have work to do, so I won't see you off."

"Of course, please allow us, on behalf of the children in the [Special Class], to express our gratitude to you once again."

……

A moment later
"It tastes awful..."

【…】

"Yes, I do miss the tea that Lian makes."

【…】

"People? People probably want that too, too."

【…】

"Speaking of which, you've been rather quiet lately. Has something good happened?"

【…】

"I see. This is the first time I've heard that someone like you can have a 'sense of crisis'. Could you tell me what that is?"

【…】

"Southwest? Ha, isn't that answer a bit too general?"

【…】

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll protect you. After all, a contract is a contract. If I didn't intend to agree to it, I wouldn't sign it even if you dragged me away on the spot."

【…】

"Yes, it's not a difficult request, but are you sure you want to leave with me after I graduate?"

【…】

“I can try to give you a status that allows you to live and study freely here, if you are willing.”

【…】

"Ha, he's clearly just an overly noisy tenant, but it's like I'm the one who got the better deal..."
