Quadruple split.

Chapter 995 Academy City (III)

Mo Tan did not obediently obey the girl's tempting suggestion. On the one hand, at this moment, he did not want to create the slightest misunderstanding or induce the slightest germination, and when he was a 'Black Brahman', it was already out of control. With the lessons learned from the past, 'Mo' will naturally do his best to 'avoid suspicion' in any sensitive or suspected sensitive situation, especially when the opponent is Ji Xiaoge, after all, his lethality lies there.

As for the other reason, it was because the girl in front of her was so generous and without any shyness in her style of painting that she could basically turn the proposal just now into a joke.

Having known each other for such a long time, Mo Tan will not mistakenly think that the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him is the kind of weird, silly, sweet girl with a shockingly low self-protection awareness. In fact, no matter from the few gatherings in reality, , or from the analysis of the six months of getting along in the game, Mo Tan always believes that Ji Xiaoge is the one among his acquaintances who has the best control over the two concepts of 'distance' and 'property'.

Of course, the premise is to exclude himself. After all, as a senior psychopath, Mo Tan has long been a master figure who can be called the pinnacle of social scale. Even under the most unsteady 'absolutely neutral' personality, in most cases He is also an expert.

All in all, in Mo Tan's eyes, Ji Xiaoge's attitude towards everyone around him is just right, no matter how close he can be with whom, what kind of jokes he can make with whom, or with whom it is necessary to keep a little distance. Some distances that will not cause misunderstanding, this girl has almost achieved the ultimate.

Therefore, if he guessed correctly, the core reason why Ji Xiaoge initiated the "hand-in invitation" to herself was that the girl knew very well that the person in front of her would probably not cooperate with her in messing around, and even if this person really dared to hold hands, in view of If he is a good person, nothing will happen to him...

[Phew, although it's generally correct, I always feel a little bit uncomfortable, and it's still stuck with the suspected correct answer that I made up in my brain, which feels really bad. 】

Mo Tan sighed silently, then walked slowly to Ji Xiaoge's side, ignored the latter's slender white hand, shrugged and said: "Stop making trouble, if you want to go out, hurry up, in a few days you It will probably be very busy.”

"Hmm~"

Ji Xiaoge smiled, then raised her little hand raised in front of her body and patted Mo Tan's shoulder vigorously, and said with a wink, "If you don't want to hold hands, follow me closely."

Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose embarrassingly: "Understood, I will try my best not to lose myself."

"That's good."

The girl stuck out her tongue, and then vibrated her wings slightly to take off, but she hesitated at the moment of flying into the air, then fell back to the ground, and walked forward at a speed that Mo Tan could easily keep up with. Without looking back, he smiled and said, "Let's go."

In this way, the two left the tree-shaded inn where they were staying. Relying on Ji Xiaoge's superb sense of direction, which was almost the same as that of a real pigeon, they soon came to the bustling belt of the Outer Ring District, which is far away from the south-facing area where they were before. There is a distance from the gate, so the crowds will not be very crowded, but there are many shops around, whether it is a water bar with an elegant environment suitable for dating, or a shop selling all kinds of goods, Motan is almost It took a lot of effort to pull Ji Xiaoge away from a beauty shop called 'Angel's Feather', which mainly deals in brushing, maintenance and dyeing for winged races.

"I just want to see it! I don't really want to dye the wings into the style of the fallen angel in the night on the poster!"

Ji Xiaoge grumbled and complained, COS bared his teeth at Mo Tan: "Why do you want to drag him away!"

"Because you don't really want to dye your wings black."

Mo Tan held his forehead helplessly, and said with a dry smile: "Let me tell you, this kind of shop is very similar to those beauty shops outside the game. As long as you dare to go in, those enthusiastic Tony teachers will start giving you crazy Amway. The benefits and advantages of baking, dyeing and perm, according to your personality, most of you will stick to your position and decline these proposals for about five minutes to break the defense, and then ask others to polish, wax and dye you in a daze, and finally apply for a half-year card, several thousand That’s how the gold coins are spent.”

Ji Xiaoge immediately widened his eyes: "Thousands of gold coins!?"

"Thousands of gold coins as a base..."

Mo Tan twitched the corners of his mouth, spread his hands and said: "So, although I think you will look beautiful even if you dye your wings into the [Dark Fallen Angel] style, but if you plan to enjoy some shopping next time , it’s best not to enter that store.”

Ji Xiaoge first subconsciously opened her luggage to check her gold coin balance, then raised her hands and patted her cheek with a 'snap', and said firmly: "Mm! I still don't want to go!"

Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, not that he has any prejudice against this high-end beauty shop, after all, it is understood that this shop is quite good in terms of service, technology and materials (?), but for the current For Ji Xiaoge, the financial burden of coming here to bake hair once is still too great. Although he doesn't mind paying for his friends, firstly, the financial strength of the character 'Mo' is not very good, and secondly, Ji Xiaoge Pigeon's character will not allow himself to spend money from his friends, so it is the wisest choice to pull him away.

"However, having said that..."

Ji Xiaoge suddenly turned her head to look at her thoughtful partner beside her, and asked curiously: "Mo, isn't it your first time to come to Academy City? How do you know so clearly?"

Look, the sending proposition appeared so unexpectedly~
It's obviously just a very common question, but for Mo Tan, who is under the burden of [Chivalry - Honesty] at this moment and must be a good boy who doesn't lie, it is tantamount to a targeted attack that will be irreversible if he is not careful.

Fortunately, Mo Tan had already prepared the draft when he dragged Ji Xiaoge away, so he just smiled and said calmly: "I don't just know you and Kordo when I play this game. Wat, I still have a few acquaintances, so I was informed about the charging standards of the beauty shops of the Angel series before."

"Well, that's the way it is."

Ji Xiaoge didn't doubt that it was there, so he didn't ask any further.

Obviously, she has understood the "acquaintance" in Mo Tan's mouth as a player who is also a player like herself, and has been tricked for a fortune in Academy City.

But in fact, even though there was no lie mixed in what Mo Tan said just now, it fundamentally misled the girl's thinking from the very beginning.

"I don't just know you and Cordoba when I play this game, but I have some acquaintances." This sentence sounds like it refers to the "player" specifically, but it actually covers the "Mo Tan" in the game. The contacts in the entire world of innocence, and because there are no additional restrictions, are common to players and NPCs.

And "I have been informed about the charging standards of beauty shops of the Angel series", combined with the previous sentence, it sounds like someone who has been cheated of a large sum of money is complaining about Mo Tan, but in fact that person is Diana spent [-] gold coins to have her hairstyle done at [Angel's Tip], and although she briefly mentioned the consumption amount in what she said to Frank Hughes afterwards, the other ninety-nine percent was covered with hair. She shyly asked her boyfriend how he felt after changing his look for the first time in his life, and the focus was not on money at all.

However, Mo Tan used the extremely misleading rhetoric just now to successfully make Ji Xiaoge make up another story, and successfully avoided the punishment of [Chivalry - Honesty].

To be honest, this passive skill is a bit of a waste for someone like Mo Tan. After all, it is one thing to be unwilling to lie too much when you are a 'Mo', but Mo Tan is good at 'talking skills' But it is also an indisputable fact, so although "honesty" will make him inconvenient in all aspects, it is difficult to play a positive role.

If it were someone else, anyone who could carry this skill for half a year without dying would probably be able to fully improve the art of language and benefit a lot.

All in all, the two left the [Angel] series of beauty and hairdressing stores that are very famous in several first-tier cities in the innocent mainland, and continued to wander around without any purpose.

In fact, Motan has been to many large and prosperous population gatherings, such as the Anka Bazaar not far from here, such as the capital of the Violet Empire, Salamune, such as the famous three-way zone, where there are thieves The Guild Headquarters and the Freedom City of the Wanderer Hostel Headquarters, such as the City of Light, the absolute core of the Holy Church Union, except for the slightly smaller scale of the Anka Bazaar, the other places are not inferior to the school in terms of area and population. Garden City, but the feeling of this place is completely different from the other cities.

If you want to put a label on this place, then Academy City is a city full of 'vigor' and 'inclusiveness'. It does not have a clear feature, but it contains all kinds of people who can only be in a specific place most of the time. The things and atmosphere we saw, and it is actually difficult to express in words... If we insist on giving a summary, then we may say that this is a 'place full of possibilities'.

It is young and mature, secular and detached, and it has been pregnant with countless possibilities for hundreds of years. It is a store that flocks here for business opportunities, with a little smell of money but is grounded enough; nobles with high status and scholars full of knowledge; Thieves and spies walking at the junction of black and white; poets who eulogize youth, eulogize epics, eulogize love, and eulogize everything young people like to hear; devout and humble priests and hurried travelers; these various existences, groups, People are all over the streets and alleys, revolving around the only theme and synchronizing with the city.

And the so-called subjects are those young people who account for [-]% of the total population of Academy City, no matter who they were in the past or who they will become in the future, they only have the status of 'students' now... and Individuals who are not young.

Before leaving here, leaving Academy City to write their own stories, at this moment they are a song full of vigor and vitality, singing the praises of youth.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere that almost no one cannot integrate into the city.

"Let's take a look. The freshman exchange meeting between Fairbrad Mage Academy and Azure Knight Academy will be held tomorrow evening. Friends who are interested can come to me to get a coupon. After the end, you can use it to Coupons and questionnaires to receive a beautiful gift!"

We will donate one-third of this fee to the Nightingale Golden Cross Foundation, and please show your love!"

"Schindler's comprehensive store opening big bargain! Please look here, Schindler's comprehensive store opening big bargain! [-]% off site-wide, [-]% off site-wide!"

"You can't buy a copper coin and suffer! You can't buy a copper coin and you can't be fooled! You can't buy anything for a copper coin! You are poor! You are poor!"

"Nanyuan Culinary Academy is holding a special chef competition! The Nanyuan Culinary Academy, which the legendary chef Harper Ramsay once served as a consultant, is holding a special chef competition! Participation prizes include a set of exquisite kitchen utensils, and only 5 silver coins are required for registration , Bring your own ingredients, please look here!"

"Buy a book and send it to my senior sister! Buy a book and give it to my senior sister!

"Well, I'm sorry, do you really buy the book as a gift for the senior?"

"Send it, send it."

"Uh, may I ask which senior sister you sent?"

"It's me, can you look at me?"

"Ah! How much is the total?"

"Do you want all of them? If you want all of them, you will get a 920% discount for 900 gold coins. My sister sees that you look cute, so I will count you [-] gold coins."

"Okay, okay..."

"Okay, the money is just right, I'll give you the stuff, and I'll see you in the empty alley the afternoon after tomorrow."

"Empty, empty alley?"

"Well, I just graduated this year, and I'm going back to my hometown to get married the day after tomorrow. Are you a freshman? Remember to come and see off my sister when the time comes. It's agreed."

"Does it mean to send... to send senior sister?"

"Yeah, that's the 'send off school sister', bye!"

"what……"

A certain unlucky half-elf young man stared dumbfounded at the back of the young, beautiful and well-figured cat half-orc mage going away, and stood there holding a stack of old bookworms, his whole body turned pale.

"Tsk tsk, Sezi has a knife on her head~"

Ji Xiaoge, who was watching the fun with her arms folded, smacked her lips, shook her head and said, "Young people nowadays are really..."

Mo Tan interrupted with some amusement: "You are also a young man, don't be so old-fashioned, although this buddy is indeed a bit silly."

"That's right, by the way, Mo, can you accompany me to a place?"

"Huh? Where do you want to go?"

"It's just... the one that yelled very loudly, the Chef Contest or something... it seems to be very fun!"

"???"
