I just want to take photos of them.

"Sudden mission: Help Xia Wanning who is at a bottleneck in her career and complete a set of private photos in any style."

『Task Reward: Wonderful Item 'Versatile Fabric' (a magical fabric that can replicate whatever you want, indestructible) Two-star Blessing "Knowledge Ether (Alien)" (a fragment differentiated from two unknown beings in another world, extremely proficient in computer programming)』

The system, which had not been seen for a long time, suddenly issued a task, and it was about the lazy president in front of him. But this was not surprising, after all, Xia Wanning's appearance and figure were impeccable, and she definitely met the requirements of the system. The only thing that puzzled Xu Mo was the people to whom the system had issued random tasks. Some of the beautiful girls Xu Mo knew were issued random tasks by the system, while others were not.

Xia Wanning's sudden mission this time gave Xu Mo some guesses in his mind, but he still needed to verify them. If this guess was true, Xu Mo felt that he should be able to collect strange objects and blessings much faster.

"You can make laziness sound so refreshing, and when you are found out, you still find excuses to flatter yourself. Is this reasonable?"

"Xu Mo, you misunderstood me when you said that. I usually contribute a lot to the Manga Research Club, and now I am on vacation. Besides, I came here to discuss something with you. Otherwise, based on the tone of your contact, I would not come here to be scolded."

Xia Wanning made a joke, then said seriously, as if she really had something important to discuss with Xu Mo. So Xu Mo also sat up straighter.

"What's the matter, please tell me first."

"It's about your work, which is photography."

"Hmm? Do you want me to take photos for the Manga Research Club? If that's the case, I can do it for free without your help. After all, I used to be a member of the Manga Research Club."

Xu Mo's attitude towards Xia Wanning's irresponsible image had slightly changed. She asked him to help take photos, which showed that she still had some sense of responsibility towards the club.

"Ah? What I said has nothing to do with the club. It's actually about me personally."

Xia Wanning saw that Xu Mo had misunderstood, so she immediately clarified, otherwise she would not be able to handle the compliment. After hearing Xia Wanning's answer, Xu Mo's slightly improved opinion instantly fell back, and then he looked at Xia Wanning with disdain.

"Your personal matter? You don't want me to take your picture, do you?"

If he really wanted to ask Xu Mo to help take photos, then this task would be half completed easily, which was pretty good. However, Xu Mo was a little confused about what the first half of the task description meant. Xia Wanning's career? What was that? There were probably not many areas where he could help.

"No, no. You know, I never do cosplay, and I never take any photos, so you didn't take photos for me."

Xia Wanning shook her head and denied Xu Mo's guess.

"Then what do you mean?"

Xu Mo vaguely felt that what Xia Wanning said must be related to the career bottleneck period mentioned by the system. It would depend on whether he could help.

"I would like to... get some portrait pictures from you."

"Getting a photo from me? You don't have a fever, do you?"

Xu Mo looked at Xia Wanning strangely. All the photos he took were portraits or cosplays of various beautiful girls. Xu Mo really couldn't imagine what Xia Wanning wanted these for.

"Just asking. If you don't agree, I won't continue to pester you."

It can be seen that Xia Wanning tried hard to appear indifferent, but judging from her clenched fists, she was still very nervous.

"Tell me what you want to do with it first. After all, I don't have the right to disseminate the client's photos without the client's consent. Moreover, even if I do, I can't be irresponsible and give it to you without asking why. After all, I don't know what you are going to do with these photos."

Xu Mo was telling the truth. After all, he has always had a good reputation. Even if it was someone he knew, he would not sell out the client's information casually.

"It's just for personal reference, it has absolutely no other use, and it won't be used in any bad places."

Xia Wanning looked very confident, and in order to make her words more convincing, she even pretended to swear. Her funny look made Xu Mo feel a little amused.

"You are being insincere by not explaining yourself clearly, and it's difficult for me to handle this. If you are not willing to elaborate, then I think there is nothing more to discuss between us."

Xu Mo was unmoved. He would not believe the other person just because she was pretty and did something childish like swearing to win favor.

"It's not a good idea to say this in public, right?"

"Where is the public? Aren't there just three of us? Isn't this inappropriate?"

Xu Mo felt that Xia Wanning was more and more weird, and it was definitely not a good thing.

"Then if you don't mind that your girlfriend might get angry when she hears it, then I'll say it."

Xia Wanning turned her head and looked at Bai Ran who had been listening quietly. Bai Ran had been leaning on Xu Mo's arm, and suddenly she was being noticed by two people at the same time, and she instantly became shy again.

"I have no opinion."

Bai Ran expressed her opinion in a low voice, and Xu Mo also signaled Xia Wanning with his eyes, so Xia Wanning sighed and then said:

"Before I talk about this, I want to introduce myself first. I am actually a fan artist on a pink app."

Chapter 62: Packing up

"Are you talking about a pink app, b or p?"

Xu Mo, who had been silent for a long time, was still shocked by Xia Wanning's words. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Xu Mo decided to ask first.

"Yes... the kind that's 18+."

"Okay, stop talking, I understand."

Xu Mo picked up the glutinous rice stick snack on the table next to him and put it directly to Xia Wanning's mouth.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry."

Xia Wanning took it casually and put it aside. Bai Ran, who was standing next to her, first looked at Xu Mo, then at Xia Wanning.

"It's okay, just keep quiet."

"Hmm? Xu Mo, I didn't hear what you just said."

Xia Wanning was completely focused on the snacks and didn't hear what Xu Mo said.

"I said, you're welcome."

"Oh, I thought it was something important. Let's get back to the point."

Xia Wanning readjusted the topic and was about to continue talking about the previous topic, but was interrupted by Xu Mo again.

"So you want me to borrow the photos I took so that you can use them as references for drawing 18+?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"I don't think so. I can't give you the photos for the purpose you want to use them for."

Xu Mo felt that Xia Wanning was a little too urbanized. If you think about it, you will know that it is impossible for someone to want others to use their photos to draw erotic pictures, right? Although there may be a small number of people who do not rule out this kind of XP, Xu Mo thinks that most people will not do this.

"Hey~ Don't refuse yet, listen to me. I'm just taking the poses as a reference, the rest are not referenced, they are all originally designed."

Seeing Xu Mo's refusal, Xia Wanning immediately stood up eagerly, then bent down and moved slightly closer to Xu Mo. Xu Mo only felt a gust of fragrant wind coming, and his long hair touched the tip of his nose, which was a little itchy. Bai Ran, who was standing by, took Xia Wanning's actions into her eyes.

"If we only refer to the poses, there should be a lot of photos online, right? And under my account, there should be some photos of clients who are willing to be made public. Can't those be used?"

Xu Mo tapped the table with his fingers to emphasize his point. It was a rejection, but also a way to further clarify Xia Wanning's purpose.

"It's because of your references that I came to you. I have to say that you are indeed a photography genius. Although other people's photos are also good, they are still far inferior to yours. I regard the ones you posted as my material library. My fans have started to say that I can't draw new good pictures."

Talking about this, Xia Wanning also felt extremely troubled.

"I understand how Senior Xia feels, because Xiaoxin and I have encountered this situation before. It is indeed uncomfortable to be constrained by a bottleneck, and it will be difficult to break through. If there is a chance, I will try it."

Bai Ran suddenly spoke up, and was speaking for Xia Wanning. Xu Mo was very surprised why Bai Ran would speak up for Xia Wanning.

"Xiao Ran?"

"I... just said what I felt. Brother Xu Mo, don't take it too seriously."

Xu Mo thought about it for a moment. Since there was a task here, there was no problem in helping out. By the way, he could also make Xia Wanning owe him a favor. However, he would not be so tasteless as to leak customer information.

"Since Xiao Ran has said so, I can help you, but I won't provide the client materials I shot before."

Xia Wanning was happy when she heard the first half of the sentence, but her happiness disappeared instantly when Xu Mo said the second half. How can I help you if you don't provide the materials?

"If you don't provide materials, is this still called helping?"

"Don't worry, let me finish what I'm saying before you rush."

Xu Mo stretched out his hand, waved it gently, and then asked Xia Wanning to sit back in her seat.

"First of all, please note my wording. It refers to the past, not the future. So if a new client shoots material, you can just follow along and ask if you can use it as a reference. If they agree, I'll send it to you directly."

"What if you don't agree?"

Xia Wanning asked, inquiring about another possible outcome.

"That's it. After all, they don't agree. What else can I do?"

"You are trying to get something for nothing. If I don't agree, you won't lose anything. If you agree, I will directly owe you a favor."

"That's not my plan. Besides, how can you contact the customers without me?"

Xu Mo's attitude made Xia Wanning realize what "the evil of human heart" meant. But if she couldn't draw a good plot, her career as a book writer would be over, so she had no choice but to accept it. Gu! Kill me. This was what Xia Wanning was thinking at this moment.

"Don't look like you're being coerced. People who don't know might think I did something to you. Isn't this something we both agreed to?"

Xu Mo thinks Bai Ran is the best. She always thinks of him, is well-behaved and obedient, and most importantly, is very funny when joking. Thinking of Bai Ran's shy and embarrassed appearance, he turned his head and looked at Bai Ran. Bai Ran only felt a chill rushing from below to the soft space, and then disappeared.

"It's better if it's something we both want. If you weren't so skilled and you were the only one who could inspire me, I wouldn't be forced to sign a contract here."

"Okay, I don't want to keep seeing you so bitter and resentful. For Xiao Ran's sake, I will provide you with another way to obtain materials."

"What way? Tell me first."

When Xia Wanning heard that there was a new way to collect materials, she also became interested and looked at Xu Mo, who was calm and composed, with anticipation.

"Of course you can let me take the photo for you, and you can just use your own footage. Isn't that a perfect solution?"

Xu Mo spread his hands, indicating that it was so easy.

"You're not planning on me, are you? Your girlfriend is still by your side."

Xia Wanning looked at Xu Mo with an incredulous look. She felt that Xu Mo must be imagining what was in the book, under the guise of taking photos, asking her to wear OOXX clothes, and then doing this and that, and finally turning herself into a hot weapon that could not survive without O Jinjin. The more Xia Wanning thought about it, the more it made sense, and she felt that it was very possible.

"Excuse me, how did you become so narcissistic?"

"It's not about narcissism, it's about women's intuition."

"Do you want love?"

"I want."

In the end, the two reached a consensus on the photo-taking issue. Xu Mo could get the task reward and a favor from Xia Wanning, and Xia Wanning could draw a new painting. It was a win-win situation.

"Brother Xu Mo, are you going to take photos of this Sister Xia in a few days?"

Xu Mo noticed that Bai Ran was in a low mood, and wondered if Bai Ran was jealous. This was not okay. If a little angel like Bai Ran was jealous, then the others would be furious. No, the little angel's thoughts needed to be corrected urgently.

"Xiao Ran, we are just in a business relationship. I took photos for her only because she paid. But you are different. I took photos for you because I like it. It has nothing to do with other things. Do you understand this?"

Xu Mo grabbed Bai Ran's shoulders and spoke seriously. Only the little angel Bai Ran would be convinced by Xu Mo's flawed words. If it were Luo Xin, she would probably ask, "Who do you mean by 'you'? Is it just me and my sister?"

"Well, I believe Brother Xu Mo. Let's go home quickly. It's almost noon. If Xiao Xin finds out..."

Xu Mo was stunned. It turned out that Bai Ran had not told Luo Xin about what happened today. It seemed that the little angel was not completely blank, at least in terms of sneaking around. . .

Chapter 63: Burning

After Xu Mo sent Bai Ran home, he quickly returned home.

"Huh? Why are you here again?"

Xu Mo looked at Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting on the sofa with Carol, eating snacks. The two of them were eating a big bag of potato chips together, with their heads leaning against each other, watching the TV series intently. People who didn't know the situation might think that the two were sisters.

"I'm here to play with Carol. Why, are you not welcome?"

"Brother Xu Mo, welcome home~"

Carol simply said hello, and the two continued to concentrate on watching the TV series. Xu Mo took a look and thought it was probably a bloody TV series about a wealthy family. Then, Xu Mo prepared to make lunch. Cooking for the girls every day, Xu Mo felt that he was increasingly taking care of children.

"Hey~ Carol, look, this is that the male protagonist just had a secret meeting with the second female lead outside. So when facing the first female lead, he feels very guilty. Therefore, he will actively do housework, such as cooking, to comfort himself."

"Oh, so that's how it is~"

The two asked and answered questions, discussing the plot that was being played.

"Lin Ruoxi, I'm telling you, don't teach my Carol a bad lesson. What kind of TV series did you find for Carol to watch?"

"? Friend, I just found it randomly. This part is obviously the turning point of the plot, of course I have to explain it to Carol."

"Yes, Sister Ruoxi just found it randomly, I can testify to that!"

"..."
