Chapter 21 The forest is very big
In Mo Tan’s life so far, he has spent almost two-thirds of his time dealing with all kinds of troubles, and half of them were causing trouble, causing trouble for himself. Create trouble for your friends, trouble for the gangsters, trouble for the school bullies, trouble for the hacker codenamed SUN, real name Muyu, nicknamed Futaba, trouble for honest people, trouble for teachers and classmates, and trouble for film policemen. , causing trouble for the neighborhood committee, causing trouble for the urban management... This difficulty level seems a bit too high...
But no matter what, the four words of causing trouble have always surrounded him, and the latest one has made him a The author has made such a huge contribution in forty words. (Cross out the entire paragraph)
What I want to say is that this behavior does not actually impose too much burden on him, whether it is in terms of quality of life or moral condemnation. The obstructions caused by others have never affected Mo Tan himself, not even a little bit.
But the problem is that for two-thirds of the time he has been dealing with trouble, the other half has been about solving trouble.
Or we can change it to another four words, such as - helping others.
In this half of the time, he is almost always willing to lend a helping hand to people facing difficulties or crises, as long as the other person is not a strictly evil person or has suffered the consequences, and does not ask for anything in return, unless the so-called 'Repaying' can make the person involved feel better.
Maybe he won’t be kind enough to hand over even a penny to those fake beggars who are lazy, good at acting and beautiful, but he is willing to accompany a boy who relies on "garbage recycling" for a living to pick up half the sky. Bottles and waste paper shells, lest they hurt the self-esteem that is humble and fragile in the eyes of others.
In fact, he has never been satisfied with the vague moral values and laws, and he has never felt that he represents 'justice', at least literal justice, but he always follows a Applying your own principles to help anyone who is worthy of help in your eyes may seem a bit narrow-minded, but it is often more objective than justice in a broad sense.
"Have you read "A Study in Scarlet"? If this is a true story, then I will definitely do my best to help Hope. Maybe the law will not forgive a murderer, but If the truth means that a good man will be judged and punished for sending two villains to hell, I would rather help him to let the truth never see the light of day."
This is what Mo Tan said to Yi Dong when he was in [Lawful Good] state during a chat many years ago.
"A very fair trial, but the problem is that there is no understanding in the law." Yidong shrugged: "The detective's position is to reveal the truth, but I really didn't expect you to say such a thing Come on, I thought I already knew you quite well~"
"I don't know myself better than you." Mo Tan just smiled slightly and replied: "I have never dreamed of becoming a judge or anything like that, and I don't think I represent justice. I just I just want to have a clear conscience.”
Most of all. Hou Yidong was stunned for a long time, then rolled his eyes and said: "You know, the most tiring thing in the world is to be friends with you. You know, three hours ago, I watched you take dozens of sets from the library. The reference book for junior high school students was replaced by Jin X Mei with illustrations, just for one reason. The so-called 'fun'..."
"I already regret it. That kind of reading is too polluting for boys and girls of this age." Mo Tan asked with a helpless smile: "Do you mind. Will you come with me to change them back?”
"Get out!"
......
In short, even though I have used more than 1,100 words, there is only one thing I want to express, that is, Mo Tan at this moment is not He would not be dissatisfied with the E-level missions that were really a bit cheating. After all, for him, even if he was helping some old lady find Trivial matters like the lost cat two days ago are all meaningful...
Adhere to the justice you understand and try your best to stand on the side of the weak, the good or the sufferer as much as possible. , just work hard for justice in your own eyes, and it is enough to judge those who deserve to be punished but drink in the suffering of innocent people.
So what if I am helping AI? So what if what you are judging is data? Even if these things are meaningless, what does it matter?
It doesn't matter~ It really doesn't matter~
Standing in front of the mission board in the lobby on the first floor of the Adventurer's Guild, Mo Tan spent about ten minutes looking through all the hundreds of E-level missions on the magic crystal screen. , I feel that I should be very fulfilled in the next period of time.
If there is no disconnection...
Don't think that in this world full of fantasy elements, the magic crystal screen with the function of "quickly querying mission information" is inconsistent. After all, it Although it is very unscientific, it is at least very magical.
Those great gods who live in a world full of swords, fighting spirit or spiritual energy, who can annihilate stars with a single blow even if they have a bad temper, and can fly dozens of times the speed of light in a matter of minutes, please check the information. A setting that requires reading an ancient book for a long time and makes you choke on something is nonsense. It is sincerely neither scientific, nor magical, nor very spiritual...
In short, the detour is over...
After reading it, Mo Tan was not in a hurry to receive the task to improve his adventurer level. Instead, he planned to go back first, say hello to Mag, and ask the merchant by the way. When the leader of the team, Elder Lin Jing, the employer of the Voldemort Dragon Mercenary Group, is free to see him, try to arrange the time well. Even if it is possible to force the disconnection, at least it must not be so abrupt.
After all, you should try to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to others because of yourself.
Unexpectedly, just when he turned around and was about to leave, he saw Mag's figure from a distance. There were three other people from the mercenary group beside him, namely the mustache that day. , a human female mage who is good at wielding a dragon's breath stick, and a legendary lizard-man second captain who owns an Idari musket.
"Hey Mo! We are here!" Mag also saw Mo Tan who had just turned around at the same time, laughed and waved to him: "Come over here!"
In fact, he really doesn't need to say hello so hard. Although the combination of the four Mags is very common in the adventurer branch, their unique temperament (mainly because they look more reliable compared to others) Son) is very recognizable here.
Think about it, this place is full of old junior mages whose staffs explode, thieves who forget to make holes in their masks, and rangers who buy glitter mixed with gunpowder to try to make themselves more dazzling. Where the dog girl...wait...even a guy like Mag, who is a kind of old drunkard and a fan of bloody dramas, can be called a thief...
"Thank God you finally woke up." The female mage who used dragon breath to clear a path for everyone that day smiled at Mo Tan who came over and asked: "How do you feel?"
Mo Tan blinked and gestured around: "Are you talking about the body, or here? The former was not bad, but because of the latter, I can only be glad that I am still alive..."
Then he briefly explained the 'staff explosion on the spot' that happened not long ago to the curious Mag and others, leaving the four of them stunned for a moment.
"Tsk tsk..." Mag glanced at him, then shrugged and said, "Okay, it seems I should have warned you to be careful before. The first-floor hall of every Adventurer's Guild is quite messy, because they are all Lower-level adventurers are always prone to causing trouble, but I didn’t expect you to be able to catch up with this kind of thing. Anyway, it’s better to live!” The human female mage next to her, Kasha, muttered: “I’ve heard of that guy. His name is Jadka. It is said that his ancestors have been knights for generations. When he came here, he wanted to be a mage. He didn’t know where he picked up an antique staff and said it was a family heirloom, but then again..."
< br>
She scratched her cheek thoughtfully and frowned: "It is said that that guy was very powerful when he was young. He could knock down more than a dozen high-level beasts in a minute. He is still a junior mage now. !”
“That~” Mustache raised his hand and asked: “Excuse me, I have never heard of any junior mage who can defeat so many high-level beasts in one minute! "
Ka'Sa rolled her eyes: "He was hit with a staff. Didn't Mo have experienced it just now? That thing will explode, you know..."
"Is he okay?!" Mo Tan finally couldn't help but ask: "Or do you mean that the staff won't blow up the master?"
If this is true, then he almost almost saved the old man just now It was too unfair to be blown away.
"That's not true." Kasha shook her head and said, "That staff is said to explode everyone."
Mo Tan felt a little more balanced after hearing this, but unexpectedly...
“But he can bear it.” Kasha continued: “Maybe it’s a matter of blood. Although like me, we are humans with relatively average talents in all aspects, but I heard that It has been said that Jadeka's physical fitness is at least that of a high-level warrior, and although his spellcasting ability is extremely poor, he has this natural affinity for the fire element. Although it does not help much in his career as a mage, it allows him to The fire element has a certain resistance, so...sigh...if he majored in knight or warrior, he would be a great adventurer by now."
When she was halfway through speaking, Mo Tan turned completely pale...
The white-bearded old man who dared to use his staff as a battering ram, and the puppet who was full of sniper expertise. Things like Pinocchio, the White-bone Demon who looks like a lich but is actually a succubus, and the Minotaur Gunner are not performance art, but they are real things! ?
Mo Tan seemed to hear the crackling sound of his own three senses...
"Damn it!" Mag was stunned for a long time, and then cursed and said: " This world is so dangerous."
However, Mo Tan quickly adjusted his mood and changed the topic casually: "By the way, Mag, you came just in time. I just wanted to go back and ask you about Lin Jing. I want to see my elder when he is free..."
"God knows." Mag's big head shook like a rattle: "It's probably just these two days, what happened?"
"Nothing." Mo Tan pointed to the magic crystal screen behind him: "I I plan to do some tasks first, and I might be a little busier next time. I’m afraid you won’t be able to find me, so I wanted to say hello in advance.”
Second Battalion…The captain finally found a chance to interrupt. , using the lizard man's very non-standard Common Tongue, he said with a smile: "That doesn't matter, we will be staying in the city for a few days anyway, it's good if you can find something to do to pass the time. What about the caravan?" Don't be in a hurry, Lin Jing is slow~"
"That's it, let's go first." Mag opened his mouth and waved his hand: "E-level tasks are not that difficult. , I will stay at the same place as before these days. If you need anything, you can come to me and the three of them."
Mo Tan quickly agreed, and then turned around after Mag and others went to the mercenary union not far away. I walked back to the previous window, only to find that the people inside had changed.
"Hello, how can I help?" A polite half-elf leaned over to greet Mo Tan. His mental outlook and professional demeanor were completely different from the young lady before.
However, Mo Tan didn't care. It was quite normal to work in a place like this and work two shifts. Take for example the time he took advantage of a bank loophole...
Let’s not talk about it anymore. He is quite conflicted about his memories of this aspect. After all, he did all the good and bad things by himself. If he thinks too much, he will easily become depressed.
"I want to take on a few missions." Mo Tan showed the other party the adventurer's manual he just got, and directly reported a series of numbers: "The codes are 10308, 53267 and 44759."< br>
The other party was stunned for a moment, then picked up the magic board at hand and said a little embarrassedly: "Can I trouble you to say it again?"
Then Mo Tan slowed down and repeated it again. He also realized that he seemed to have taken it for granted just now. For someone who has not specially trained in instant memory and temporary rubbing methods, he immediately projected what he heard in his mind. And forcing shorthand is a very difficult job.
Without targeted practice, it is almost impossible for an NPC with an intelligence of less than 40 in the game to do it.
"Well, help the Gullo couple in the South District weed the grass, collect soil samples outside the market for Dumen Alchemist, and... uh... inquire about Ms. Hot Explosion's likes or interests." Half-elf The receptionist confirmed to Mo Tan after a moment of confirmation: "They are all tasks with a time limit of two days, all at once, right?"
Mo Tan affirmed that he had weighed it before Now, these three tasks are currently the most suitable for me. There are neither too strict time limits (such as helping people look after stalls), nor the possibility of accidentally getting somewhere that will cause me to change my personality due to anxiety (such as taking care of others). Naughty children whose parents are out), and the rewards are pretty good.
Ten minutes later, Mo Tan, who had completed the mission registration, walked out of the Pioneer Gate and prepared to rush to his first mission location. However, before he could remember the map he had memorized and the scenery in his field of vision, When they overlapped, they found someone gently tugging at their cuffs.
Looking back...oh, it looks familiar.
“Wow~~~”
