"Stairs?"

Kasena scratched her long fiery red hair and looked at Lucie with a blank expression: "What steps? What do you mean?"

The latter ignored her, just took a sip of the free tea provided by the Archaeologists Association, and then glanced at Mo Tan, who was looking at him with a smile: "You can see clearly."

"Maybe it's because I have been in contact with Ms. Scarlett a little more often, so I can vaguely detect some of her true thoughts."

Mo Tan shrugged noncommittally, with a humble and calm tone: "Obviously, your previous clever plan was to her liking."

Lucie shook her head and said calmly: "I think Agou is more like her."

"It's A Liang."

Mo Tan corrected him with a wry smile.

"Okay, then Ah Liang."

Lucie nodded calmly, and then refilled herself half a cup of warm tea with a very nonchalant tone: "All in all, the result is good."

"But I still mind a little bit."

"Well, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to look sanctimonious, but you're actually quite a bitch."

“If you don’t strongly oppose it, are you a thief?”

"It doesn't matter, whatever happens is fine."

Lucie raised a glass to Mo Tan, who looked very helpless.

Then……

"Hey hey hey!"

Kasena knocked on the table very unhappy and shouted to her good friend: "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

Ji Xiaoge bumped Mo Tan's shoulder covertly with her elbow, turned to wink at the latter, and whispered: "It feels like you and Xiao Qian have a good understanding, and they seem to be right for each other!"

Mo Tan gave a dry laugh and moved back covertly to avoid the fresh and alluring fragrance of the girl: "I think you can see that I am a good match for everyone."

"No, you and Patriarch Scarlett are not the same."

The winged beautiful girl immediately began to deny her love-brained behavior and retorted: "I don't think A Liang and her are a good match! It's Cordoba who looks like a kobold..."

"Spare Cordoba."

Mo Tan sighed and took a bullet for someone who was almost shot.

On the other side, Lucie looked at her elder brother with some confusion and asked curiously: "Riddle? Does it mean you don't understand?"

Kasena nodded: "Ang."

Lucie also nodded: "Brother, you are so stupid."

Kasena: "..."

"The general meaning is that Mo not only predicted my plot, but also guessed that the article [On the far-reaching impact of internal injuries on players] was a post I made up. He also even guessed that if Agou didn't crash this time,

If there is an accident, I will let you have a discussion with him, that's all."

Lucie, who had been informed by Mika before that the conspiracy was exposed, said calmly while throwing nuts into the tea: "But in this case, he still did not cause trouble, but chose to cooperate with me, and even continued to do it.

After I matured, I deduced all the thoughts of the clan leader, which is quite a thief...well, quite transparent."

Ji Xiaoge, who also heard this analysis, flattened his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "Although I vaguely guessed it, it is still far behind Xiao Qian. This teammate is too unqualified."

"It's not a good thing."

Mo Tan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then looked at Lucie with a somewhat helpless face: "And although I did guess it, I was still very hurt."

"It was all my idea."

Lucie carefully took a sip of the tea that she had processed with nuts, and said without raising her head: "Yege, Yaya, Agua, they all found out later, and Yaya even thought about it after figuring out the matter.

I went back to call you at once, but I stopped them forcefully."

Mo Tan looked away awkwardly: "Is this consolation?"

"Doesn't this count?"

Lucie asked back.

"I don't mind if you plan something without telling me."

Mo Tan shook his head slightly, while staring at [A Liang] in the friends panel who had sent several messages without reply, and said helplessly: "I just thought that if we had an honest discussion from the beginning, I might be able to help with this plan.

The perfect is better.”

"I believe you have this ability."

Lucie nodded in agreement, but then said: "But at that time, I didn't know you very well, so it was impossible to take this risk. After all, you have too much influence on the Wangwang team, and

My initial impression is that you are a super nice person, so I don’t think you would betray your friends, especially in an unseemly way."

Mo Tan was silent for a long time, and then argued in a rare way: "That being said, the matter is important after all, so I don't think it is a betrayal to let Alian help persuade Ms. Scarlett. If it were me, I would definitely tell her in advance

Tell him the truth, including the 'steps' that can make the patriarch lady give in, and I think A Liang will definitely understand."

"Maybe, but I don't know you, let alone that A-Liang."

Lucie had now used a large amount of nuts to prepare tea that tasted very close to the 'barley tea' outside the game. She said casually: "So I chose the method with the highest success rate in my eyes. As for the damage caused to you,

, I express my hug..."

"I wasn't hurt in any way."

Mo Tan interrupted Lucie's 100% sincere apology and shook his head: "I was just discussing the matter. The current results are actually quite good. As a player, A Liang will not suffer anything.

Hurt, and Ms. Scarlett has reached a tacit understanding with us."

After Lucy was silent for a moment, she raised her head and took a deep look at Mo Tan: "No, you are injured."

"Eh?"

Mo Tan was stunned.

"There may be people who don't care what they are hiding from the people around them, but you don't look like that kind of person."

Lucie stared unblinkingly at Mo Tan's confused eyes, and said softly: "I vaguely noticed that Yege, Jadeka and the others made you feel uncomfortable by cooperating with my previous plan, so if you don't

If anything goes wrong, you should hate this feeling of being marginalized, whether it's well-intentioned or malicious, but for some reason, you have to turn a blind eye to these things. The reason is probably that you yourself have...

…”

"Xiao Qian."

Kasena stood up, held Lucie's head down, and said in a deep voice: "Stop."

"oh."

Lucie nodded and did not continue.

"This is why you basically have no friends except for a few of us."

Kasena sighed, rubbed Lucie's hair vigorously, then turned to Mo Tan and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, this girl doesn't have any ill intentions, but her personality is a bit subtle and she likes to talk nonsense. Many times

It really deserves a beating."

Mo Tan immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "I actually know friends with similar personalities, so I don't think it has anything to do with it at all."

The two looked at each other and smiled, skipping the topic in a tacit understanding.

The reason is simple. Neither Mo Tan nor Kasena thinks that Lucie's failure to complete the final analysis just now is wrong.

"That's a serious digression, you guys."

Mika lay on the table in boredom, and said with a groan: "Anyway, the general meaning is that the Scarlett clan leader is not really interested in A Liang's male sex, he just wants to find an excuse to give us the key stone.

?”

Dabus, who is also a male compatriot, shook his head vigorously with a dark face, and said decisively: "No, I think that although the matriarch really wanted to find an excuse to lend us the key stone, she also absolutely

It’s because he fell in love with A Liang’s male lust.”

"Hey, you really think too much."

Jilan, who had completely understood the whole story, laughed and said nonchalantly: "It is impossible for NPCs in this game to sexually harass players excessively. I have specifically investigated this aspect before, although 'female NPCs harass male players'

The level of control and punishment is not as strong as that of 'male NPCs harassing female players', but it can be said that they are strictly guarded against the iron wall. Even if the clan leader has some ideas, he will not be able to successfully put them into action."

Ji Xiaoge stuck out her tongue playfully: "That's what I said, but I still feel that A Liang is a bit pitiful. If I had known better, I wouldn't have listened to Xiao Qian and told Mo directly... Well..."

She seemed to want to say something more, but finally stopped.

"Anyway, everyone is happy this time."

Hirano, who unexpectedly got the opportunity to participate in the second phase of the mission, clapped his hands with joy, stood up and said with a smile: "It's not too early then, so I will withdraw first. Please take care of the next phase of the mission."

Jadeka smiled, pointed to Yaya, who was sleeping so darkly next to Mo Tan's leg, and stood up: "Everyone, let's go and have a rest. Even if you people from other worlds don't need to sleep, you still have to take care of them.

Not Yaya and little Tatiana."

Kasena and others were stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked back and found that their little lizard man had been curled up on Christina's shield and asleep for an unknown amount of time.

"It's gone, it's gone~"

Mika immediately jumped up and rushed out while shouting: "The last one to leave is the one who closes the door!"

Then the scene fell into chaos inexplicably. I don’t know why. It was just a matter of closing the door. It was not difficult for anyone present, but everyone started to squeeze out happily, including carrying bags.

Kasena, who was carrying the little lizard-man lolita, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

ten minutes later

After carefully tidying up the big house, taking care of all the fruit shells, snacks, tea, and cups, and even wiping the floor and every table, Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open with a light step.

The quiet camp was coated with a layer of silver frost by the crescent moon on the sky. The shimmering light of the stars illuminated Mo Tan, and also illuminated the beautiful winged girl standing not far in front of him with her hands behind her hands.

Because most of the other colleagues are still in camps near the kobold and caveman settlements, and the staff of the Archaeologists Association have basically been sent away, everything in front of Mo Tan at this moment is like a picture scroll.

So peaceful and peaceful.

Of course, be it the crescent moon and starlight in the sky, or the quiet night sky and the earth, the only thing that sublimates all of this into a 'picture' is the girl standing not far away with her hands behind her hands. And when she turned around after noticing the sound,

The moment he turned around and smiled sweetly at Mo Tan, the color of the whole world faded away.

The color faded...for about 0.73 seconds, and then Mo Tan used his superhuman will to wake himself up from the trance.

"What are you doing?"

He concealed his embarrassment just now with a smile, walked quickly to Ji Xiaoge, and joked: "Baking in the moon?"

"I'm not that artistic."

Ji Xiaoge made a face at Mo Tan, wrinkled his nose and said, "I'm just waiting for you, but I don't want to go in and clean up with you."

Mo Tan was stunned at that time: "Eh?"

"I'm not good at housework."

The girl blushed and looked away, as if she was saying something unspeakable. She muttered in a low mosquito voice that was almost as low as when Yu Chen met a stranger: "Although it's not that I don't like to do it, but after dealing with kitchen waste,

Whether it's cleaning or tidying up outside, things often make a mess, so it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I feel that I will only be a disservice..."

Mo Tan interrupted her funny: "Stop exposing yourself, I haven't said anything yet."

"Woo..."

The girl shrank her neck and let out a cry of unknown meaning.

"So, what do you want to say to me?"

Mo Tan stretched out comfortably under the starlight and said with a smile: "If you want to apologize for hiding the plan of cooperating with Lucie from me before, then there is no need."

"No, I just want to worry about what happened before...Eh?!"

Ji Xiaoge said something subconsciously, and then suddenly made an embarrassing sound, and his eyes widened in surprise: "How did you know?!"

Mo Tan shrugged, spread his hands and said, "With a character like yours, who writes all your emotions on your face, it's actually quite difficult to know what you are planning."

"whispering sound."

The girl curled her lips and hummed: "So what, what do you mean you don't need me to apologize? I don't think Xiaoqian said it wrong, and you also had an expression on your face at that time as if someone was talking about the main thing, and as expected you still

Do you mind if you are hiding something from the rest of us?"

"I have no right to mind."

In view of the possibility of carrying out the second phase of this large-scale regional mission tomorrow, Mo Tan must not trigger [Chivalry: Honesty] at this moment. In addition, he is really not in the mood to make detours right now, so he

He smiled bluntly and said: "Because I also have something to hide from you."

Ji Xiaoge blinked: "Eh?"

"For example, why are you, Dabus, and Kasena able to maintain almost twenty hours of game time every day even though we are all players, while I can't even play half of your time, and every time?

The words are unclear."

Mo Tan smiled heartily and sighed softly: "I can't tell you the reason. There hasn't been one before, and it will probably be rare in the future. In comparison, I naturally have no position to blame you, so..."

"So that's it!"

Ji Xiaoge suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, and said happily: "No matter what you are hiding or what bad consequences it has caused, I can forgive you once on my behalf, how about it?"

"ah?"

"That's it!"

"No, you can't..."

"Hehe, but you only have one chance, and it only counts if you say you want to use it, so cherish it!"

"Well……"
Chapter completed!
