……

Valhalla Ascension Fortress, Lower Level, Outside the Teleportation Hall
"I was teleported out directly."

Looking up at the seemingly endless ruins before him, Mo Tan listened to the roaring, explosions, chattering, and screams coming from inside the large door behind him, and muttered with a somewhat subtle expression, "Is there absolutely no blind spot... It seems today is as lively as ever."

He didn't push the door open immediately. Instead, he rubbed his temples with some hesitation, thinking about how to deal with the inevitable questioning that was about to come once he went in.

Mo Tan clearly remembered that he felt a little unwell before going offline yesterday. It wasn't just a normal discomfort, but a super intense headache that even made him lose control in the game. The headache reminded him of the extreme negative physical sensations he experienced after his last serious illness. He was sure that although he had tried his best to hide it, he hadn't been able to keep it from his friends.

Ya Ya's worry was written all over her face. Wang Ba Dan bluntly asked himself through the mental link if he was about to die and if he had any inheritance to leave to him. Ji Xiao Ge was even more anxious, sweating profusely, and almost blew up Valhalla by entering the wrong command several times.

As for Gu Xiaole, although she looked normal and didn't even look this way much, Mo Tan knew very well that this older sister had definitely noticed her strangeness, but she just remained outwardly calm.

He was even a little worried that, in the most extreme case, that sister would come to his house to check on him after the server shut down. After all, Ji Xiaoge wouldn't cause trouble for Mo Tan just because 'Mo' was uncomfortable. But now it seemed that Gu Xiaole was very likely to do so.

That's why, the moment the server shut down at 07:00 AM, Mo Tan immediately called Yi Dong, asking him to find a way to calm his sister down. Yi Dong, being very loyal, said he had no idea what to do.

Finally, the two managed to come up with a solution: video chat.

In short, Yi Dong deliberately walked past Gu Xiaole's room while video chatting with Mo Tan, indirectly letting the latter know that 'Mo Tan' was in good condition and had no problems at all. During breakfast, they continued their intense video interaction, repeatedly proving that Mo Tan was in excellent health, and even had the mood to boast to Yi Dong.

Because Yi Dong's parents, Yi Nan and Gu Yanyue, always ate breakfast with their children without fail (as Mo Tan had told them years ago, this was a way to strengthen their bond with their son), breakfast took an unusually long time that day. However, this was not a coincidence. In fact, Mo Tan would have breakfast with the Yi family remotely four or five times a month, and sometimes even seven or eight times.

Only when video chatting with Mo Tan would Yi Dong not be required by his father to observe table manners, and Gu Yanyue would rush to her son's side, desperately squeezing into the camera to chat with Tan Jiang, from remembering to dress warmly when the temperature changes to simply adding him to their family's household registration as their son, mainly talking about everything, and the usually very composed Yi Nan never spoiled the fun.

"Since your aunt has said so, why not consider it? After you move in, Yidong can sleep on the balcony or in the kitchen."

On many occasions, when Mo Tan was in a relatively honest mental state and looked to Uncle Yinan for help with his eyes, the latter would make similar comments in a serious manner, as if Mo Tan was closer to him than his own son.

As for their son, in earlier years, he would only not contradict his parents on such occasions, but would seriously say: "The balcony and kitchen are out of the question, but I can give the bed to Mo Tan and sleep on the floor myself."

Unfortunately, Mo Tan, who was particularly principled in this regard and also quite worried that his 'mental illness' would cause trouble for Yi Dong's family, always smiled and remained silent. Even in his most unconventional 'chaotic neutral' personality, he never gave the three of them the slightest chance to discuss this topic.

Mo Tan knew very well that if she loosened her grip even a little, Yi Dong's family of three could easily call a moving company while she was out buying groceries, pack up all her belongings, and move them to his villa. So even though she was moved and wavered when she was in her most stable state, Mo Tan still stuck to her bottom line and remained steadfast.

In conclusion, thanks to the cooperation of her friend A after going offline, Gu Xiaole, who was previously very worried about 'Mo-chan's' state, has been successfully calmed down. As for Yinan and Gu Yanyue, given that this kind of daily life has become a part of their lives, there is naturally no risk that some small 'tricks' that even Mo Tan herself is unaware of will be exposed.

But Mo Tan wasn't so confident about Ji Xiaoge's side...

Perhaps because his mental state when he was offline in the morning was not 'lawful good', he did not immediately comfort the pigeon that was already jumping up and down in a panic. When he opened the email address that 'Mo' had left for Ji Xiaoge in the afternoon, there were more than 20 emails piled up inside. At least three of them were asking for the phone number of her online boyfriend. The reason was simple: Ji Xiaoge was worried that her boyfriend, who always lived alone, would suddenly fall ill and die at home without anyone caring for him.

After that, although Mo Tan replied to the email immediately, slightly comforting his online girlfriend's hurt feelings, and also liked Ji Xiaoge's post on social media with the caption "Peace and safety!" and a picture of a smiling apple, he still felt uneasy.

"call……"

However, Mo Tan was not good at avoiding problems at this moment, so even though his mood was complicated, he still pushed open the door with a rather calm attitude and put on the healthiest, most energetic, most vibrant and most reassuring posture, stretching out his hands to the two figures that rushed towards him like lightning.

Thus, the winged girl and the dog girl were firmly pressed down in front of him, preventing them from crashing directly into his arms as he had hoped.

"Mowang!"

Ya Ya looked at Mo Tan excitedly, her beautiful silver-gray tail swaying behind her like a little windmill. She stared at the latter's radiant face and asked excitedly, "Are you alright? Are you not feeling unwell anymore? Are you all better? Is there anything else that's bothering you?!"

"I am fine."

Mo Tan chuckled and scratched the chin that Ya Ya was sticking out, saying with a smile, "But you, how come you've suddenly become so fluent in Common Language after just a short time?"

"Wang?"

Ya Ya blinked, then happily tucked her ears behind her back and laughed, "I'm already quite proficient at using the 'woof' slang!"

"Keep it up! If you can keep this up, Lao Jia will be overjoyed."

Mo Tan smiled and said something, then turned to Ji Xiaoge, who was staring straight at her, her lips pursed but unable to speak, and whispered, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Am I...am I worried?!"

Ji Xiaoge pouted, kicked Mo Tan's shin lightly, and snorted, "I'm not worried about you at all!"

"Huha~"

Ya Ya, after quietly raising her hand to prick up her ears, stretched and said excitedly, "Wang, go find Lao Jia first! Tell him Mo Wang is fine!"

After saying that, the girl snuggled into Mo Tan's arms and rubbed against his chin before running away like a gust of wind.

"Old Jia went to the Grand Arena to exercise."

Ji Xiaoge walked up to Mo Tan, pinched the latter's cheek, and shrugged, saying, "Ya Ya should have gone with him, but she stayed in the fortress until now because she was worried about a certain troublesome guy."

"Feel sorry……"

Mo Tan lowered his head obediently and said with a wry smile, "I know I wasn't feeling well yesterday, but I was really fine after I logged out of the game. Well... I think I was fine. I even had a friend check to make sure I was okay. When I replied to your email, I was completely fine."

Ji Xiaoge frowned slightly and asked, "Is your friend studying medicine?"

"That's not it."

Mo Tan honestly shook his head and said truthfully, "He's just someone I know very well. If I really do something wrong, he should be able to tell."

"he?"

Ji Xiaoge tiptoed and gently tugged at Mo Tan's ear, whispering, "Say it in Elvish." "..."

Mo Tan scratched his head, then obediently complied with the other party's request: "He."

Ji Xiaoge blinked, then confirmed in Elvish, "Gay?"

"No."

Mo Tan rolled her eyes and emphasized, "No!"

"Hehe~"

The winged girl chuckled, then took half a step forward, gently resting her head against the knight's chest, and whispered, "I was so worried about you..."

"Ah."

Mo Tan nodded, struggling to withstand the increasingly intense and barely concealed gazes of the girls around him, while gently supporting the girl's shoulder: "I know."

"I'm very worried."

"Um……"

“You didn’t ask your friend who’s studying medicine, but I did. Even though she’s very busy with classes, I still kept pestering her for a long time because I was so worried.”

"Um……"

"She told me that under normal circumstances, we players wouldn't experience any noticeable discomfort in the game because of our sensory protection system. However, because the game pod in 'The Realm of Innocence' is very powerful, if you really feel unwell, you should receive a notification. In particularly serious cases, it will even force a disconnection and notify the hospital. But you said you were fine and didn't disconnect..."

"Um……"

"So I don't know if you're okay or not. I'm so worried. You didn't reply to my emails this morning, and I don't know your phone number..."

"Sorry, Pigeon, I'm fine... don't worry."

"Really?"

"Really? Don't forget, I can't lie in the [Innocent Realm]."

"Then I'll keep it in mind too."

"I know."

"do you know?"

"I know……"

Do you really, really know?

"Yes, I really, really know."

"Hehe, then I won't blame you!"

"..."

"I'm not even asking for your phone number anymore!"

"..."

"After all, we're in an online relationship, so as a girl, I have to be a bit reserved!"

"..."

"Oh dear, that was close! I almost fell for your trick and got your phone number!"

"..."

"If you want to become my real boyfriend, you still have a long way to go!"

"Pigeon……"

"Alright, alright, come with me now!"

Ji Xiaoge didn't let her sweetheart finish speaking. Instead, she grabbed Mo Tan's hand and ran to a small open space nearby, saying cheerfully, "Do you remember our previous plan? This morning I got the blueprints and materials from my mentor, and then we worked together to develop it a bit. Now we've almost finished the prototype."

Mo Tan was taken aback: "So fast?"

"Of course, since the materials and blueprints are readily available, and we have enough manpower now. As long as we don't strive for perfection like the teacher, it's not difficult to make a low-end prototype model at all."

Ji Xiaoge nodded gleefully, then released Mo Tan and proudly presented the manned aircraft, which stood in the center of a bumper ring, all black and shaped like a missile: "Ta-da! This is the super powerful [Absolutely Safe Cargo]! Not only has it increased capacity and safety, but it's also equipped with the [Valhalla Navigation Module] that we hastily made last night. Although it can't locate the [Ascension Fortress] in another dimension, it can completely strike... uh, the [Valhalla Beacon] that has been brought to the outside world with precision guidance with a landing error of no more than half a meter!"

Mo Tan: "...You just said 'blow', right?"

"Ugh."

Ji Xiaoge put her hands behind her back, tilted her head awkwardly, and said, "It was just a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue, you know? Really, Mo, you have to believe me. Although this thing does look a little bit like a missile, our quality inspection team has confirmed that apart from a tiny bit of 'impact force,' not a single pound of innocent gunpowder will be detonated."

Mo Tan was shocked: "So you even stuffed gunpowder inside?!"

"I can help explain this to you, Brother Mo."

The slender woman who emerged from behind the "Absolutely Safe Cargo Ship," Yin Tian, ​​who had become Ji Xiaoge's right-hand woman and a pillar of the "Ascension Fortress" on the first day due to her exceptional skills, smiled and said leisurely, "The reason we loaded a considerable amount of explosives inside is mainly to provide additional power to the aircraft, so there won't be any scenes like 'bombing' or 'explosion'."

"Um... are you sure?"

"That is naturally uncertain."
