Chapter 210 Taking advantage of the loophole
As Mo Tan said, the 'small market' is Huguang City's mobile black market. Its location is not fixed, and even the start and end times are irregular. It follows that if there is no certain information channel, even civilians who have lived in this city for more than ten years will have a hard time discovering this place. At best, they will only encounter it once by chance, but it is harmless and I don’t understand. The well-behaved 'outsiders' will soon be knocked down by the enthusiasts with a gentle slap, and then thrown into a certain alley...
In short, this is a quite interesting place, at least in Mexico. Tan's eyes are very interesting, which is one of the reasons why he has stayed in Huguang City until now.
Places like 'small markets' are not found everywhere. For various reasons, they usually appear in places like Huguang City that are remote, poorly managed, sparsely populated, There are many conditions such as convenient transportation, medium scale, complex (or dilapidated) internal environment, etc., so the threshold is still quite high.
As for why there are so many requirements, it is naturally because most of the transactions in this place are shady and should not be made public...
These include but are not limited to stolen goods, slaves, alchemy potions that are only in the experimental stage, various weird materials, and a large number of things that I don't know what the black sandalwood is used for. After all, many sellers can't even describe the 'goods' in their hands. Don't believe every word.
When Mo Tan came here for the first time, his main purpose was to talk to those slave traders. After all, he had been looking for clues about the Whispering Sect since he left Pato City. Among the known information, They have a lot of involvement in the slave business within the Violet Empire.
The secondary purpose is to please the body and mind, so after spending twenty minutes to briefly understand the situation of the local slave market, he happily purchased for more than two hours, which directly prompted the day's small market. The city ends early.
Of course, this was not because Mo Tan, who had just made a fortune, bought all the items, but because the sellers really couldn't stand his bargaining methods.
There was an unlucky kid who didn’t understand why he sold three boxes of abyssal worm eggs at the cost of two gold coins and half a catty until he finished closing the stall in a daze, and also gave him a box of abyssal worm eggs as a gift. Basket of more valuable magic roots...
Therefore, following the major merchants within ten kilometers of a community in City B and a grocery store in Pato City, the small market in Huguang City led by Hussein also failed to escape...
But fortunately, Mo Tan was wearing [Hundred Conditions] when he visited the black market last time, so he was not recognized when he showed his true face at this moment. Otherwise, today's small market would probably end here.
"I don't think you are a simple bard." Shalia whispered, she was following Mo Tan aimlessly among the crowd, with a pale face With a hint of blush, this blood seeker lady, who looked like she had a good background no matter how she looked, seemed not used to the hand kiss just now.
Mo Tan smiled: "Every bard is not simple, dear Salia, our energy is huge."
"I have met many bards." Shalia narrowed her eyes slightly, forcing herself to remain vigilant towards the person in front of her, and said coldly: "You are different from them, the feeling you give me..."
Mo Tan blinked and gently squeezed the other party's weak and boneless hand: "Very handsome? Want to marry?"
"It's a mess." Salia snorted and quickly raised her hand. He took it out from Mo Tan's palm, shook his head and said: "Forget it, you don't plan to ask me anything? Also, where are you taking me?"
"Just wander around the area. ." Mo Tan stretched his neck and looked at the [Funny Gas] on a small shelf with interest, and replied casually: "If no one who is interested in you comes to you before the black market ends, we will sneak out of the city. , this place is very close to the Crystal Wolf Territory, it may be safer over there.”
[It’s useless, they will find me...]
Salia sighed secretly. But he didn't say what he was thinking, he just looked at Mo Tan's side face curiously: "Why do you want to help me?"
This question has been entrenched in her mind for a long time. After all, few people would want to be related to the 'blood seekers', not to mention that she is still a 'suspected' blood seeker who is being hunted. Salia thought about it all the way. He didn't understand why the inexplicable bard in front of him wanted to help him, and what was his purpose? What does he want?
However...
"Oh, I fell in love with you at first sight."
Mo Tan answered this very lightly, very absent-mindedly, and very casually.
“Huh?!” Salia was stunned for a moment, and then curled her lips imperceptibly. She felt that if this guy named Tan Mo had been more serious or sincere just now, she might have truly believed it. .
An uncomfortable silence spread between the two of them. Of course, it was only Shalia who was uncomfortable. Mo Tan seemed to be having a good time shopping.
A moment later, just when Salia was about to say something casually, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.
Almost at the same time, Mo Tan turned around and put his white robe on Shalia, and then gently hugged her shoulders: "Don't freeze."
"Yes..."
Salia was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mo Tan with a 'holding back' look.
[Did he really want to help me, or did he come with those guys to catch me? 】
Salia, who was held in place by Mo Tan's shoulders, couldn't help but think of this. The slender right arm under the white robe moved slightly, but after all, she still didn't stab Mo Tan's chest quietly. On the one hand, she felt that if the other party was really evil, she would have been caught long ago. On the other hand,...
Well, she didn't know what the other side was, but there was the first point. That should be enough.
Several figures in black cloaks appeared quietly in the crowd, and pairs of scarlet eyes under the hoods quickly swept over each pedestrian.
“I am here to save you~”
The words in a voice so low that it was difficult to detect rang in Salia's ears.
The next second...
Mo Tan gently kissed the corner of Salia's mouth.
Yes! That's right, even though it was just the corner of the mouth, he kissed her firmly and passionately, and he succeeded!
You must know that although Salia is just an NPC, she is also a genuine female NPC, and the system that has zero tolerance for even sexual harassment between people of the same sex has no tolerance for Mo Tan's 'serious violation' of the operation. There was no punishment at all, let alone punishment, not even a warning. Not only was there no warning, there was not even a single movement!
As the 'victim' herself, Salia didn't react at all. This was not because she was broad-minded, but it was just that the moment she was kissed by Mo Tan, she was completely short-circuited, and her brain was blank except for circles.
For some reason, even though Shalia's race is human, her physique has always been as cold as a cold-blooded animal. At this moment, the warmth from the corner of her mouth disappeared almost instantly. It knocked her out...
Two minutes later
Mo Tan let go of his hands around Salia's slender waist, straightened up and pursed his lips with lingering interest: " Yeah, it smells like strawberry."
Salia lowered her head with a red face, tightened the coat that Mo Tan had just put on her body, and stayed silent for a while before whispering: "Thank you..."
"I thought your reaction would be more intense, like opening a hole in my body or something~" Mo Tan smiled in surprise and shrugged: "Or are you used to it?"
I have to say that his tone really deserves a beating.
"I'm not used to it! It was the first time I was...sigh..." Shalia said subconsciously, and then shook her head slightly: "I know you were just trying to protect me from being... Those people had to do that when they saw it, so they won’t blame you. That’s it.”
Mo Tan snapped his fingers: “That’s good, I’m actually ready for you to kiss me back.” Salia narrowed her eyes dangerously, as if she was thinking. Consider whether you really should cut someone's body or something.
"It's just a joke." Mo Tan also gave up when he saw the opportunity. After all, he felt that he could not beat the cold beauty in front of him in every sense, so he lightly brushed off the cheap move he just made and said with a smile: "Those guys should have gone elsewhere to look for it, let's go out of the city."
Salia sighed: "I don't have a pass, so it's difficult to get out of the city." Enter Crystal Wolf County through formal channels, we will divide it here..."
"It's not safe for you yet," Mo Tan didn't let her finish, but just took the lead very naturally. He grabbed the opponent's little hand: "I have a way~"
"Then... then I'll leave it to you, Tan Mo."
"It's my pleasure~"
...
[The mission is to ‘rescue the beauty’, which simply means to help Salia get out of danger. 】
【Under my previous arrangement, only pretending to kiss her had the highest success rate. Salia knew this very well, so not only was the condition of 'you love me' established, but also It's also accompanied by the "If I don't do this, the mission is likely to fail" situation, and I really don't have any other intentions. 】
【So, driven by these three factors, although I did take advantage of her, the system defaulted to it as a 'necessary step to complete the task', so there was no warning or direct blocking. I. 】
【Haha, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have just kissed the corner of her mouth...】
[However, the system probably won’t let me take any further action. After all, I can get by by pretending to bite each other. Doing a routine or something will not increase the success rate, so I shouldn’t be able to do more. 】
【Tsk, tsk, so even if it is an area of 'sexual harassment' that is theoretically untouchable, as long as it is used in the right way, it can be ignored~ It's so humane. 】
【So, the conclusion is...the system of the Innocence Realm is either extremely intelligent, or...very smart. 】
[Although they look similar, they are actually two completely different situations~]
[It’s so fucking fun~]
As Mo Tan pulled Shalia along the path leading to the west gate of Huguang City, he couldn't help but smile with extreme joy.
Salia, still wearing the white robe on her shoulders, couldn't help but whispered to him: "What are you... laughing at?"
"I was just reminiscing about the total just now. One hundred and twenty-seven seconds of kiss." Mo Tan winked at her playfully and smiled: "It will occupy a large proportion in my 'life'~"
Kacha !
Salia, who was being led obediently, immediately held Mo Tan in her arms, and then directly pinched off 5% of the latter's health.
"I'll just follow you." She let go of Mo Tan's hand with a smile, and blinked lightly: "No need to hold me."
Mo Tan stuck out his tongue, feeling that Sha Leah is a bit of a smartass.
The so-called life is just a game process, and the so-called proportion is a big loophole in the system. As for that kiss...
To be honest, even if the other person is an orc aunt in her sixties, as long as He wouldn't mind speaking to Shalia if she met all the conditions, well, as long as she doesn't have a beard... No beard is the bottom line.
However, such words are naturally not suitable to be told to the other party, so Mo Tan did not seek death and explained the matter clearly. He hoped that Salia would misunderstand.
Five minutes later, at the gate of Huguang City
"Wait for me a moment." Mo Tan stopped, turned around and smiled at Salia: "Before I leave, I have to talk to a few friends. Hello, your identity is quite sensitive, just wait for me here."
Salia nodded lightly: "Yes."
"Don't worry, I won't be alone. He's running away." Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, Mo Tan immediately added softly: "I'll be back soon."
"If you want to go alone, just don't take me with you. "Salia shook her head, and then paused for a moment: "I'm just curious, are the friends you mentioned before?"
Mo Tan whistled, then turned around and stepped forward: "Who knows~"
"This guy..."
Salia looked at his back with a complicated expression. , sighing faintly: "It's completely unpredictable."
...
A moment later, an abandoned house on the west side of Huguang City
"Well done, the reminder was timely." Mo Tan put a small bag of gold coins in the hands of a handsome elf dressed as a ranger in front of him, and chuckled: "Thank you for your hard work this time."
The other party and The four or five people behind him immediately turned their heads Shaking it like a rattle, he kept saying: "Where, where, it should be."
"By the way, the mercenary I let you fool before is dead, and he died miserably." Mo Tan yawned and said casually: "You guys go back?" Go take a look in that alley. If the body is not discovered by those black cloaks, dispose of it. If it is discovered, forget it. Well, there is no reward for this, so it’s up to you.”
The ranger headed by He rubbed his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Brother Zelda, you are too outspoken. We must go over and take a look when we turn around. So... why don't we add a friend?"
"No need." Mo Tan waved his hand, then turned and left the old house.
He quickly turned a few corners, then took off the [Baishi] on his face, exhaled softly, and raised the corners of his mouth in a playful arc.
"Blood Seeker..."
