Chapter 2771 Extraordinary Talent

Chapter 2771 Extraordinary Talent
"Eh?"

Xueyin turned to look at the human and demon, who were both pale-faced and exuding heavy resentment, and asked in surprise, "Why did you take so long to get here?"

"You...you guy..."

Gu Xiaole, gripping the strange threshold, glared at Xueyin through gritted teeth: "Why can you eat that kind of thing so deliciously without batting an eye? Why do we have to... ugh... catch you off guard... ooh..."

Xueyin tilted her head, asking curiously, "That kind of thing? Isn't that candy?"

"Sugar? You call that thing sugar?"

With her last bit of strength, the maiden dragged Mo Tan to the shop entrance, then collapsed limply to the ground, completely distraught.

Xueyin continued curiously, "Isn't that candy?"

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly noticing the photo of the Rice brothers and Xueyin, Gu Xiaole's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Is the food you eat different from ours?!"

"Huh? That can't be right."

Xueyin grabbed a handful of poop candies from the shelf next to her, walked quickly to Gu Xiaole, squatted down with a smile, and spread her little hands out to him, saying happily, "Why don't you take one first, and then I'll take one, and we can eat them together? Let's see if there's any difference? Or you can choose one for me. If the taste is different, I'll ask the two foreign brothers for the same kind as you guys to eat."

Although she absolutely did not want to eat a second one of those things, Gu Xiaole, who really wanted Xueyin to eat one, was immediately caught in a dilemma.

After all, in her opinion, it was understandable that the twin managers of the store would make things difficult for others when it came to 'testing' them, but it was still absurd to put candy that smelled like poop, looked like poop, and probably tasted like poop behind the display window for sale. The reason why Xueyin did not fall for it was most likely because the two store managers were her fans!

This is not uncommon. After all, the reason why a "planet-level" idol is called "planet-level" is because their influence is so great that it can cover the entire earth. In other words, their fan base is so large that it cannot be described in terms of countries or even regions.

These two foreign brothers are staunch fans of Xueyin, so the probability that they would not want their idol to eat shit is not only not zero, but may even be very high!
So, Gu Xiaole, who had always harbored resentment towards this planet-level idol, was deeply moved and even developed the idea that 'if I can get her to eat some shit, what's wrong with me eating another bite? Anyway, once I've tried, I'll get used to it. No matter how uncomfortable I am, I can't be as uncomfortable as her.'

"Don't!"

Fortunately, Cha Nu, who could almost see through Gu Xiaole's inner thoughts at a glance, stopped his impulsive behavior immediately and said loudly, "If it were Xue Yin, she could eat this kind of thing without changing her expression!"

Gu Xiaole: "Ah...why?!"

"How would I know."

The woman twitched her lips and chuckled dryly, "I can't even figure out why she sings so well, so how could I possibly know why she can eat this kind of thing without batting an eye?"

"Ah, never mind, let's put those poop candies aside for now."

Having accidentally guessed the true name of "Poop Candy," Gu Xiaole struggled to his feet (having just regained his strength). Using his body, enhanced by Yin-Yang magic, he lifted Mo Tan horizontally and carried him to the Rice brothers, anxiously saying, "Managers, I know you are very powerful Wanderers. Please, could you take a look at my... this friend's condition? If you can heal him, I will repay you both as much as I can within my capabilities..."

"Oh ho, it's Brother Mo Tan."

"Ah, it really is Brother Mo Tan."

"So, what's wrong with Brother Mo Tan?"

"Fell asleep?"

"Having a nightmare?"

"Did you have a nightmare while you were sleeping?"

"Did you fall asleep while having a nightmare?"

"This kid is really something!"

"They always manage to come up with something new for us."

"Could it be that this time..."

"Was that one of his pranks too?"

"It doesn't look like it."

"Did she really faint?"

What should I do if I really feel dizzy?

Let's ask them right away!

Immediately after a rapid-fire, almost comedic exchange, the brothers Ferry and Joe Rice turned to the three women in front of them and asked in unison, "What's going on?!"

Xueyin, Cha Nu, and Gu Xiaole were stunned for several seconds before they came to their senses, and then they all said in unison, "...How would we know?!"

"so……"

The slightly more clear-headed and mature punk-style rat spirit scratched his head and said with a somewhat subtle expression, "Do the two shopkeepers know our young brother Mo Tan?"

"Yes, we know each other. We're old acquaintances."

Ferry nodded vigorously, then took Mo Tan from Gu Xiaole, who was still somewhat dazed, and carried him into the store, saying without turning his head, "Anyway, everyone come in first. Joe, close the store for a bit, put some [Ivan's Staff] behind the door, and stack two boxes of poop candy on top. If any blind anomaly sees the warning and still tries to barge in, make them eat shit."

"This isn't appropriate..."

As Joe spoke, he turned and went to the shelf, grabbing two bundles of Ivankova capsules. He hesitated, then said, "Should we put in three boxes?"

"You decide."

……

five minutes later
[Strange and unusual], inner room
"It's a little messy, don't mind it."

After settling Mo Tan on a table with a temporary cushion, Joe Rice smiled at Gu Xiaole, Xue Yin, and Cha Nu, who were sitting side by side on the other side of Mo Tan, opposite him: "Relax, everyone. Since you are Mo Tan's friends, you are not ordinary guests, but rather 'strange' friends."

"Have some orange juice, and we also have some snacks."

Ferry simply placed a tray containing five cups and a large pile of snacks on the table, and said cheerfully under the horrified gazes of Gu Xiaole and Cha Nu: "Don't worry, the [Poop Candy] here is for all ages. Although the flavors are somewhat random, they are all mainstream flavors such as chocolate and hazelnut."

"Eh……"

Xueyin immediately showed a somewhat disappointed expression, and then, quite disheartened, threw a piece of chocolate into her mouth and began to chew it with a crunching sound.

"I understand the situation, so you two are Mo Tan's confidantes and friends, right?"

Ferry stroked his chin, looking down at Mo Tan, who still showed no signs of waking up but whose expression kept switching between 'pain' and 'extreme pain', before getting straight to the point: "This Miss Gu went to find him because she was worried after noticing his strange state in the game 'The Realm of Innocence,' while Miss Xue Yin came over immediately after receiving his garbled text message. And this fairy lady is Miss Xue Yin's partner and teacher, right?"

Gu Xiaole nodded nervously: "That's right."

Xueyin toyed with Motan's hair and chuckled, "Hehe."

The woman lit a cigarette with an indifferent expression: "I guess so."

“My brother and I have known Mo Tan for a long time, so we definitely have to help him with this.”

Qiao plopped down next to Ferry, reached out and tugged at Mo Tan's eyelids, frowning as she said, "But you three... to be precise, Miss Gu and Lady Fairy, since none of you have noticed the problem, it seems like it's not a simple matter."

"If it were simple, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

The demon exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "We have already ruled out all normal diseases that ordinary people might have, as well as things that are beyond the comprehension of an ancient demon like myself. This young Onmyoji girl couldn't see anything either, so she could only come to you non-professional professionals."

"Haha, well said. After all, although we are quite knowledgeable, we are not experts in dealing with these difficult and complicated cases."

Ferry grinned, then turned to his twin brother, whose eyes narrowed and whose expression gradually turned serious, and asked, "Did you find anything, Joe?" "I can't say..."

Joe frowned and shook his head, saying, "I've examined him using almost every conventional method, but just like this fairy lady said, I can't find anything wrong with him. If it's just his current unconscious state, I could actually try to wake him up, but the problem is..."

"The problem is that even if he wakes up, the problem will still exist."

Ferry, who was on the same wavelength as Qiao, chimed in, stroking his chin and saying, "Judging from Mo Tan's condition, even if we force him to get up now, his condition will probably be extremely bad. Maintaining the status quo is better."

Gu Xiaole panicked immediately. Her usual composed and confident demeanor vanished at this moment, and she said in a flustered voice, "But we can't keep going like this!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we don't want him to stay like this forever."

Joe raised his hand and pressed it down, saying seriously, "However, I think it's necessary to discuss in detail how to deal with his situation. Ferry... I have a guess."

"What a coincidence."

Ferry turned to look at Joe and nodded, saying, "I also have a guess, a very plausible one."

"So here's the question..."

Qiao turned to look at Gu Xiaole and the others, who were completely bewildered, his expression slightly conflicted.

"I wonder which ladies are here..."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Ferry carefully chose his words and asked, "Do you know anything about Brother Mo Tan's... extraordinary talents?"

The woman shook her head vigorously, saying, "I don't know, I'm not interested."

"I know I know!"

Xueyin raised her little hand high and shouted, "Tan is so smart!"

“That’s too general.”

Gu Xiaole shook her head and said seriously, "Mo-chan is a very yasashii person!"

"What? The term 'gentle and kind' has been overused for decades!"

"Do you need to tell me how smart I am?"

"Tan is particularly witty and humorous."

"Mo-chan has a really good personality."

"Tan is exceptionally talented; his lyrics are truly excellent."

"Mo-chan is not only talented in writing, but also very caring."

"Tan's cooking is especially delicious!"

"Mo-chan is very sensible and well-mannered."

"Tan is incredibly good with computers, and he's even a hacker!"

"Mo-chan is good at the game too, he'll reach Epic rank soon, I'm telling you!"

"Tan can eat shit!"

"Moriko can do it too!"

"Then what..."

Finally, realizing that the conversation had completely spiraled out of control, although he was looking forward to hearing what else the two girls might say, Ferry decided to interrupt them, considering that Mo Tan's condition was indeed not good. He coughed lightly and shook his head, saying, "That's not what we're asking."

Gu Xiaole frowned slightly: "Then what are you asking?"

"What we're asking is whether you know anything about Mo Tan's...extraordinary abilities."

Qiao leaned back on the sofa with his arms crossed and said seriously, "Note that I said 'extraordinary talent'. If you can come up with something of reference value, that would be great. If not, it's okay. You can go back first. If Mo Tan stays with us, the situation won't get any worse, even if it doesn't improve."

Ferry raised his index finger and wagged it, adding, "Don't forget, at least for the two of us, not just any characteristic can be called 'gifted.' At least among the three of you, only Xueyin's [singing voice] can truly be called 'gifted.'"

Xueyin immediately looked at Gu Xiaole triumphantly and said with a grin, "You're much more ordinary than Xueyin!"

"Mmm, I'm really sorry."

Gu Xiaole replied absentmindedly, then after a few seconds of silence, clenched her fist, and suddenly looked up, saying, "I might know a little bit that could be of help, about Mo-chan's special abilities, but..."

Joe blinked and asked, "But what?"

"But I want to talk to you privately."

Gu Xiaole stood up and gestured with her chin towards the outside: "This is not something that can be easily known by others."

"Xueyin also has something to report."

The planet-level idol smiled slightly, comfortably leaned back on the sofa, and said, "Shushu is one of us, I'm not afraid of her finding out. As for Sister Xiaole, you can go out and talk to whichever boss you like."

"Okay, that's perfectly fine."

Ferry stood up and smiled, "Then I'll go outside with Miss Gu Xiaole to chat for a while. As for Miss Xueyin, you can talk to Qiao here."

After saying that, Ferry gestured for Gu Xiaole to leave with him and walked outside.

After Joe and Cha Nu indicated that they couldn't hear her, Xue Yin took a deep breath and looked at Joe Rice in a slightly more serious tone than usual.

"I suspect that my Tan has a mental illness..."

……

ten minutes later
[Strange and unusual], the back hall of the shop
"So, we now have a general understanding of the situation."

Ferry, who had returned with Gu Xiaole, sat back down on the sofa and smiled, "In short, thank you both for your cooperation."

"So the current situation is..."

Qiao crossed his legs and said in a light tone, "Brother Mo Tan's problem is most likely related to his mental state, right?"

"Hey!"

"ちょっとって! Didn't you guys agree..."

"Wait a moment!"

"wrong!"

"Could it be that……"

"Could it be..."
