Quadruple split.

Chapter 2810 Idle Affairs
Mo Tan knew very well that Ya Ya had not lied to her.

Mo Tan also knew that Ya Ya had not fully revealed the actual situation.

He could sense that the girl was holding back almost everything she told him, and what she kept to herself was probably negative information that would worry him.

This is not surprising.

After all, these partners who came together with 'Silence' in the 'Innocent Realm' are all kind and understanding people. One of the characteristics of such people is that they are keen to help others solve their problems and absolutely do not want their own problems to involve their partners.

Jadka rarely spoke of his complicated relationship with the Diesel family, and after getting to know everyone, he would only occasionally mention his lifelong ideal, for fear that people would take care of him because of his 'mage dream' and dare not let him become the main force in fighting with his insane knightly talent.

As for Dabus, although he often complains to everyone about how terrible Teacher Tian is at school, his real problem has always been educating Anthony. However, he has never asked any of his friends for help in this regard. Instead, he secretly racks his brains to teach Anthony in places where no one is watching. By now, he has turned Anthony into a much better child than before!

Carmelo Anthony is trying to be good and doesn't eat random things. He's a good Carmelo Anthony.

Let's not even talk about Ji Xiaoge and Gu Xiaole. The two girls hide their feelings very well in most cases, so well that only Mo Tan, as the person involved, can see through their various 'oddities' and 'secrets'.

In addition, even Gu Xiaole's spirit will give up opposing his main body if it pleases someone. Although it keeps saying "go die, go die," it will usually help at crucial moments. It will only vent its dissatisfaction slightly when it is harmless, such as calibrating the trajectory of the parts of the "Absolutely Safe Cargo Ship" or giving the main body a concussion.

Lu Jiang has two main concerns: one is how to bring his brother, who, although also playing "Innocent Realm," doesn't really seem to be playing it, only making a strong impression during the "Debate on Guilt" phase, back to the correct timeline; the other is how to successfully transform himself into a true straight man like in real life. He hasn't mentioned these two worries much, and in most cases, he gives the impression of being a... enthusiastic and life-saving forest-girl.

Wang Ba may be shameless and despicable, but he... uh, he... well, anyway, he... um, so that's about it... Next.

Okay, the next one is Mo Tan, then it's fine.

In conclusion, Mo Tan fully understood why Ya Ya hadn't revealed all the details and showed the utmost respect and cooperation, without uttering a single question.

At the same time, he secretly resolved to pay more attention to this girl who seemed a bit silly and optimistic, but actually had a lot on her mind.

After all, it's not just these current problems; there's also a hidden danger within Ya Ya that she herself is unaware of, which could erupt in a terrifying way. Mo Tan has an extremely ominous premonition that there is a strong connection between the two.

I have a feeling... if things continue like this, something unexpected might happen soon.

Mo Tan tilted his head and glanced at the dog girl who was dozing off on his shoulder, whose ears had returned to normal without him noticing. He sighed silently in his heart and couldn't help but think this way.

He still remembered what Lu Wei and the others had said: the hidden dangers in Ya Ya's body would become more and more dangerous as her strength increased, until she truly advanced to the Legendary level and could reverse that collapse with her superb physical and mental power. In other words, it would be fine if she were stuck at the peak of the high level like many people, but once she entered the Epic level, the risks she would face would increase exponentially!
In Lu Wei's words, when Ya Ya was at the peak of the epic realm, she was at risk of sudden physical and mental collapse at almost any moment, and when she stepped into the realm of half-legend, the threat of death would follow her like a shadow, and every second could be the beginning of her destruction.

In this situation, if Ya Ya were like a good-for-nothing priest who didn't do his job properly, essentially a hopeless case, then at most Ji Xiaoge would keep an eye on him to ensure that if he occasionally had a problem, he could be teleported back to Tianzhu Mountain for treatment immediately. But the problem is that Ya Ya's progress is... gradually becoming excessive.

This is getting increasingly outrageous!
If in the first six months after everyone met, this girl was simply fulfilling her talent and potential while having no worries about food and clothing, and successfully keeping up with the progress of players such as Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge, then it is a bit absurd that after experiencing several life-and-death threats, she can still keep up with Mo Tan in terms of strength.

It's important to know that although Mo Tan doesn't have as much playtime as other players, thanks to the combat talent of the character 'Mo', once the majority of players start to get stuck at level (epic), Mo Tan, who is constantly undergoing high-intensity training, will overtake them at an unbelievable, inexplicable, and almost cheat-like speed.

What's most terrifying is that, unlike most people, Mo Tan will never miss any opportunity to improve himself. Although he may not be as capable as Ji Xiaodao, who can create an environment to help his older sister break through to a crazy degree, he will seize any opportunity to absorb, transform, and evolve, and make himself substantially improved as quickly and efficiently as possible.

With the addition of those formidable individuals within the mysterious weapon [Akatsuki], Mo Tan's rate of progress is absolutely astonishing. His ability to catch up to the top of the individual combat power rankings after the [Questioning and Debate] is the best proof of this.

Of course, he also experienced many extreme situations during this process. Not to mention the ancient ruins in Savage Highlands where he was on the verge of death, even the head-on battle against the [Woodworms] in Anka Market, which seemed like a crushing defeat in terms of outcome, was a dangerous situation where a slight mistake could have resulted in a huge price. It was only because the [Paw Patrol] team managed to get through this situation with almost no mistakes and with the help of the 'outside world' that it seemed quite easy.

However, Mo Tan's inhuman progress is a fact, to the point that even fellow players Ji Xiaoge and Lu Jiang are struggling to keep up with his pace and are gradually falling behind in terms of hard skills (Ji Xiaoge is still the strongest in the Paw Team in terms of soft skills, without exception). As for Jadka, after losing his knightly talent and qualities, even with occasional highlights thanks to [Spicy Powder], his progress has undoubtedly slowed down to the point of almost stagnation.

On Anthony Dabus's side, the experience and specialization rewards from his daily quests (teaching students) began to decline sharply after both of them (or their bosses?) reached the peak of the high-level realm, and their fel energy, negative energy, two-handed weapons, unarmed combat, and dual-wielding skills all reached the highest level achievable at the high-level realm. It became less effective.

In this situation, only two people could keep up with Mo Tan.

One is Gu Xiaole. Although this lady plays the game in a rather laid-back way, she still possesses an epic-level skill outside the game, equivalent to the [Innocent Realm] worldview. After breaking through her 'mental knot', she naturally entered the epic realm, and her strength has risen to fourth place on the personal combat power ranking, second only to the top-tier players [Question Mark Bro], [Cordoba], and [Question Mark]. She has even squeezed out Xinglong, who was previously firmly in fourth place.

But ultimately, this is because Gu Xiaole is a player, and the kind of player with exceptional qualities and inherent strength in real life, so this is actually normal and logical.

The other person, Ya Ya, is completely different. As a native NPC of the [Innocent Realm] without the help of the system, although Ya Ya still looks like she is at the peak of the high-level, just like when she broke through not long ago, Mo Tan can keenly sense that if the two of them fight with all their might, the cute dog girl sleeping soundly on his shoulder can pose a threat to him.

Admittedly, given that Mo Tan has already stepped into the half-step epic realm, the value of this 'threat' is not actually very high. However, it is enough to show that Ya Ya is still not falling behind. In fact, if Mo Tan had not been able to successfully master several domains in a short period of time, and if the members of [Akatsuki] had not returned to their half-dream state after arriving at Tianzhu Mountain and given him a good lesson, the gap between them might have been even smaller.

This inexplicable and even illogical increase in strength may not be a good thing for Ya Ya right now.

Just as finding a large sum of money out of thin air is often accompanied by a series of troubles, in Mo Tan's opinion, Ya Ya's troubles have accumulated to a point where she is terrified and can't sleep well every day.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, even for Ya Ya's sake, Mo Tan couldn't easily reveal the fact that the latter's body was prone to collapse. And the unsettling secrets and details that the girl was hiding in her heart at this moment were also something he couldn't forcefully find out.

Or rather, even if Mo Tan could manage to find out the truth through a combination of coaxing and deception, it might not be beneficial to Ya Ya. So now, the only thing that can comfort him is that Ji Xiaoge carries a means to directly teleport Ya Ya back to Tianzhu Mountain, allowing high-level observers like Lu Wei to provide direct treatment.

【well……】

With another silent sigh, Mo Tan wrapped his cloak around Ya Ya, becoming her human pillow, letting her lean against him and sleep peacefully without daring to move.

It was precisely because of this that when everyone finally arrived at their destination, the seventh outer mountain of Tianzhu Mountain, Mo Tan's left arm had completely fallen into a state of paralysis, and his physical strength had been forcibly reduced by 18%.

"Tooth."

Just as Fimigel began to slowly descend and gradually dispel the barrier behind him, Mo Tan turned to the girl who had just regained consciousness and was still a little dazed, and asked, "Can we tell everyone what we were talking about? Lao Jia and Ye Ge are very worried about you."

Ya Ya blinked, a little confused, and asked curiously, "Sister Wang Ge noticed it too?"

"do not know."

Mo Tan shrugged and smiled, "But I think you should at least say what you can to everyone who cares about you. Otherwise, if you have a nightmare again someday, the people around you might not know how to comfort you."

"Woo..."

Perhaps startled by the suggestion to 'at least say what you can say,' Ya Ya, who hadn't told Mo Tan everything, shrank back and then tried to put on a silly, optimistic look, grinning as she said, "Woof knows! Woof will tell Sister Woof and the others in a bit!"

"Okay, Fimi, it's parked. Let's hurry up and get off the plane."

"Who's the chicken?! I'm a dragon! A dragon! A dragon!!!"

"Sorry, Fimi, I meant airplane..."

"Even flying chickens are wrong! I'm a dragon! A dragon! A dragon!"

"The dragon is the symbol of emperors."

"Night Song, why did you fly up here and start using such a tired joke..."

"Hehe~"

……

Soon, after a brief period of commotion, everyone disembarked safely. Fimigel then yawned and bid farewell to everyone (hinting that the two guests from Academy City would have to find another way to return) before leaving. Ji Xiaoge and Mo Tan accompanied the two engineering experts to the temporary launch silo... temporary vehicle landing platform to check the condition of the [Absolutely Safe Cargo Ship]. Before that, Ya Ya obediently whispered something to Ji Xiaoge for a while, repeating what she had just told Mo Tan, which startled the latter so much that she almost abandoned the guests and dragged her to the first workshop for a medical examination.

After that, it took a lot of persuasion (and a lot of barking) to finally convince Ji Xiaoge to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​forcibly checking the equipment. She then absentmindedly went with Mo Tan to accompany the two somewhat bewildered experts to look at the equipment.

Incidentally, Mo Tan originally planned to spend more time with Ya Ya, but considering that Ji Xiaoge was prone to getting distracted when she was not paying attention, he decided to go with her for the safety of the two experts, such as being blown up by Ji Xiaoge due to operational errors.

Then--

"They all worry too much."

Yaya stretched and yawned, wagging its tail and making a face at Jadka: "You're such a worrywart."

"no way."

Although he didn't know why Mo Tan had to confront Ya Ya like that, Jadka still shrugged frankly and said, "Old people just love to nag and meddle."

"Hmph, you'll know later that you were worrying for nothing!"

Ya Ya pouted, then waved her little hand and ran towards the teleportation array of the first outer mountain, saying without turning her head, "I'm going to find something delicious first, then I'll go to sleep! If you want to play in the arena, call me tonight! Oh right, if Mo Wang is free, it's okay to call me earlier!"

After saying that, the girl winked playfully at Jadka, then pursed her lips and disappeared in a flash of white light.

In a daze, the old man seemed to see, before the girl disappeared into that distorted light—

It was as if a pair of familiar, pure white wings fluttered slightly behind him.
