Academy City Central District, [Gruul Game]

"Wow!!"

Yaya waved two huge pieces of bone-in barbecue and ate them excitedly, wagging his tail with a shiny face and cheering: "Good woof! Mowog is the best!!"

Mo Tan, who didn't eat much but was just sitting next to him quietly drinking tea, smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "As long as you like it, eat slowly. If it's not enough, you can add more. No one will compete with you."

Yaya blinked, and then slowly shook his head: "No more barking! Just now, the dog went to find someone to bark. The good ones here are all good at barking. I have to save my bark for Mo Wang!"

"It doesn't matter, don't save me any money~"

But Mo Tan waved his hand and said seriously: "Today, I asked you two to help me with my personal affairs. It's not too much to treat you to a meal."

Jadka, who was sitting next to him, smacked his lips, looked at the meal in front of him, which could be called the ultimate meat feast, and sighed: "It's not too much, but it's not too much, but this meal will cost thousands of gold coins. Same thing."

For the food, if we hunt and roast the game ourselves, it won’t even cost us anything. It’s a luxury, it’s too luxurious.”

In fact, Lao Jia originally wanted to say that he was a prodigal, but considering that he was suspected of relying on his old age and betraying his old age, he finally changed his wording to a relatively mild "luxury".

"It's different after all. I heard that the ogre chefs here are first-class cooks who are recruited heavily by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce. Their training fees alone cost six figures in gold coins. All kinds of raw materials are also brought from all over the mainland within 24 hours.

High-end goods shipped.”

Mo smiled and said happily: "It is said that in order to ensure that the ingredients are not affected at all, they even prohibit transportation by means of transmission, and they are also very particular about freezing and preservation."

Ya Ya casually grabbed a palm-sized piece of barbecue and put it into his mouth, asking inarticulately: "Woof woof woof woof woof woof?"

Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Jadeka for help.

"Ya means..."

Uncle Jia freely forked a piece of [Grul's Secret Bacon] which was of excellent quality and could restore 0.5% of the stamina of the eater per second for thirty seconds, and calmly translated: "Why are they working so hard?

?”

"I'm really curious how you understand..."

Mo Tan, who believed that his level of dog language expertise was definitely high, sighed and shrugged: "Well, I heard it seems to be a luxury catering brand specially created by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to compete with the [Steam Fish Pot] of the Steam Consortium.

If the other side specializes in fish, they will focus on meat, and if the opposite side uses shabu-shabu, they will use barbecue. In short, while tit-for-tat, they also avoid the latter's main market."

Yaya didn't understand it at all, but Jadeka nodded slightly after pondering for a long time: "Well, after all, the steam fish pot is relatively popular in all aspects, but its competitiveness in the high-end market is not that strong. I see.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being a large chamber of commerce?"

"Haha, Lao Jia, with your reaction speed, if you want to provide for your retirement one day, you can just find a job in a chamber of commerce."

Mo Tan joked happily, then picked up a piece of [Charcoal-grilled Sumir Snowflake Beef Tenderloin] for himself and put it into his mouth. He narrowed his eyes with pleasure: "Well, it is indeed delicious."

[It’s even more delicious than what the locals in Sumir make~]

He added silently in his heart.

Then--

"But, then again."

While Jadeka was eating at a speed that was not inferior to Yaya, he miraculously kept his speech rate as normal and spoke clearly: "Is it really okay to keep silent?"

Mo Tan turned his head and glanced at Lao Jia beside him, and said with a smile: "How do you say that?"

"Old man, I can see that you... had a lot of fun today."

In terms of knowledge and experience, he ranks among the top NPCs that Mo Tan knows. However, Mr. Jia, who is not very impressive most of the time, knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "It allows you to deliberately avoid the little pigeon.

, and under this premise, you specifically asked me and Yaya for help, and there are even many arrangements that I can vaguely feel, but don’t understand well... Logically speaking, now should be a very important and critical moment, right?"

Ya Ya, who was still feasting, swallowed a piece of barbecue with difficulty, blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "What's the critical moment?"

"Well, it's a critical moment, so to speak."

Mo Tan did not hide the truth from the two partners in front of him who came out with him without hesitation and expressed their willingness to go all out to help without even understanding the situation. He nodded slightly and said: "Old Jia's guess is right, today is for me.

It is indeed a very critical day. In fact, I have been preparing for today for a long time."

Jadeka twitched his lips and pointed at the large table of food in front of him...well, to be more precise, it should be meat. He said in astonishment: "Then you still have the leisure to eat with the two of us here? It's not that important.

Is it something?"

"That's true, but it's not entirely my fault."

Mo Tan stretched his body lazily and chuckled: "So I still have some free time to enjoy with you."

Jadeka didn't ask any more questions, just casually mentioned a bottle of [Purified Spicy Powder] that Ji Xiaoge specially prepared for consumption and shook it lightly: "In short, we need help.

, don’t be polite.”

"If I were polite, I wouldn't ask you to come out together this time, then..."

Mo Tan casually opened the friend list where he suddenly got a new message, and stood up slowly the next moment, smiling: "I'm going to do some post-meal digestion exercises. You can continue to eat. Someone will come to say hello to you later~

"

Then, without waiting for Jadeka and Yaya to react, he walked directly into the store to settle the bill with his own savings, and quietly left the [Grul Game] store through the back door five minutes later.

On the other hand, Yaya pouted after Mo Tan left, looking a little unhappy.

"how?"

Jadeka looked at the bitch girl next to him who looked like his granddaughter with a smile, and said happily: "Don't you want to be left here?"

"You can't say that..."

Ya Ya, whose eyes were gradually filled with red light, shook his head, tore off a piece of barbecue fiercely, frowned and said: "I'm just a little bit unhappy. It's rare that you take me to do something without telling Sister Ye Ge, but as a result, there is no follow-up from the beginning.

It’s so crowded.”

Jadeka also frowned: "Let's not talk about this first, but Yaya, it doesn't matter even if you don't maintain this state throughout the whole process, the burden on your body..."

"You're fine, don't worry about it."

The girl directly smashed the big bone in her hand and said angrily: "I need to adapt to the current situation so that I can exert my full strength when Mo needs it. No matter what happens in the future, I want him to praise him fiercely.

I!"

Jadeka shook his head dumbfounded and did not answer any more. He just sighed leisurely, and then continued to eat with Yaya. After all, eating with this girl, unless you want to be bitten in the final stage.

, otherwise it is best to eat more while there is still plenty of food left and the other person's instinct to protect food is not aroused.

Well, except Mo.

Only the guy who was the first to take care of the lonely Yaya and who had a special status in the girl's heart could make her willingly leave the last piece of meat.

Although this may not be a good thing...

Jadeka sighed silently in his heart. Although he had never been in love, he had lived for such a long time. Naturally, he would not be unaware of some small details, such as every time Yaya swooped and eight-footed Mo.

When hugged like a claw fish, although the latter will stop it immediately, she will always have a doting look. When facing another girl in the team who gets along all day and night, even if there is no interaction

Sometimes, Mo Mo will take the initiative to look away.

Calmness and avoidance, these two completely different attitudes can actually explain a lot of problems.

[Well, people just like to worry about these things when they get old. Don’t think about it anymore. Let the young people handle the affairs of the young people by themselves~]

The old mage shook his head and finally decided to give up thinking. On the one hand, it was because he really had no intention of getting involved with those who had and had not, and on the other hand, he felt that the man next to him was righteously eating Haisai.

, the girl whose little face is full of oil may not be able to see clearly.

Contrary to Mo, who would rarely set his sights on someone, Yaya, who seemed careless and optimistic most of the time, was almost always watching the former's every move.

…

[You are always watching my every move...not even for a second...]

Gavin, who had almost walked around Academy City, took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and stopped with a bitter look on his face.

No more.

It's no longer possible.

Basically all the conventional methods that can be thought of have been tried, but without exception, they all failed.

And if it goes as expected, the other party's patience may have been exhausted. At this moment, he, who has been targeted since the moment he left Brother Mo, has almost overthrown his previous behavior with actions.

If you continue to use this rhetoric, the balance of the situation will be broken.

Jia Wen was confident that the other party would not know about A-Qing's existence, but she was also convinced that that...or those people had definitely taken into consideration the fact that she had a collaborator when setting up the trap.

In Jiawen's judgment, the possibility of Liuliting being targeted at this time has exceeded 90%. Although the treatment may not be as high as her own, for Aqing, who is not a cunning professional, and does not have the [Thousand Faces of the Thousand Faces]

For a high-level warlock supported by such heaven-defying equipment, the possibility of leaving quietly without anyone noticing and helping him is almost zero.

In this Academy City, almost all the people who can support him are inseparable from the Chauvin Empire. As for Lamorlock in the friend list, Gavin does not think that the other party can help him. In fact, if he is allowed to

Lamorlock knew that her current situation was one of the things she least wanted to happen at this moment.

In this way...

[What kind of person with a bad personality would he force me to take the lead in changing his tactics under such circumstances?]

Taking a deep breath, Gawen suddenly quickened her pace, running in a certain direction with a clear purpose for the first time in a long time, and that place——
To be continued...
