Chapter 995 Academy City (III)
Mo Tan did not obey the girl's tempting suggestion. On the one hand, at this moment, he did not want to create the slightest misunderstanding or induce the slightest bud. have As a 'Hei Fan', there was a lesson learned from the past that was almost hopeless. 'Mo' would naturally do his best to 'avoid suspicion' in any sensitive or suspected sensitive situation, especially when the other party was Ji Xiaoge. time, after all, their lethality is there.
As for another reason, the girl in front of me had an elegant and completely devoid of shyness that could have turned the suggestion into a joke.
Having known each other for such a long time, Mo Tan would not mistakenly think that the beautiful girl in front of him was the kind of weird, silly and sweet girl with a shockingly low awareness of self-protection. In fact, no matter in reality, Judging from those gatherings, and from the analysis of getting along with each other in the game for the past half year, Mo Tan always believes that Ji Xiaoge is the one who has the best control over the concepts of 'distance' and 'property' among his acquaintances. .
Of course, the premise is to exclude himself. After all, as a senior mentally ill, Mo Tan has long been a master in terms of social standards, even if he has the least determined 'absolute neutral' personality In most cases, he can be described as an expert.
All in all, in Mo Tan's eyes, Ji Xiaoge's attitude towards everyone around him is just right, no matter how intimate he can be with whom, what kind of jokes he can make with whom, or who he needs to keep a little distance with. This girl almost achieved the ultimate in maintaining a distance that would not cause misunderstanding.
So, if he guessed correctly, the core reason why Ji Xiaoge initiated a 'hand-holding invitation' to herself was that the girl knew very well that the person in front of her would probably not cooperate with her mischief, and even if this He really dares to lead me, and since he is a good person, nothing will happen to him...
[Huh, although it is generally true, I still feel a little bit uncomfortable, and it is still suspected of being made up by my own mind. Cards were issued for the correct answers, which felt really bad. 】
Mo Tan sighed silently, then walked slowly to Ji Xiaoge's side, ignoring the latter's slender white hand, shrugged and said: "Stop making trouble, hurry up if you want to go out. Time, you will probably be very busy in a few days.”
“Hmm~”
Ji Xiaoge smiled, then raised his little hand in front of him and patted Mo Tan's shoulder hard, winking and saying: "If you don't want to hold hands, follow me closely."
Mo Tan touched the tip of his nose coquettishly: "I know, I will try my best to avoid losing myself."
"That's good."
The girl stuck out her tongue, and then The wings fluttered slightly and wanted to take off, but he hesitated at the moment of taking off, and fell back to the ground. He walked forward at a speed that Mo Tan could easily keep up with, smiling without looking back. : "Let's set off."
In this way, the two left the Linyin Inn where they were staying. Relying on Ji Xiaoge's superb sense of direction, which was almost the same as a real pigeon, they quickly arrived outside. In the prosperous area of the ring area, this place is some distance away from the south gate where they were before, so the crowds are not very crowded, but the various stores around it are even better, whether it is a water bar with an elegant environment suitable for dating, There are still shops selling all kinds of products. Mo Tan almost spent all his efforts to turn Ji Xiaoge from a beauty shop called 'Angel Feather', which specializes in hair brushing, maintenance and dyeing for winged races. Pull forward.
"I just want to take a look! I don't really want to dye my wings into the style of the fallen angel in the night on the poster!"
Ji Xiaoge grumbled, and the COS teeth smacked at the ink sandalwood. Ya: "Why are you dragging me away!"
"Because you don't really want to dye your wings black."
Mo Tan covered his forehead helplessly, He smiled dryly and said: "Let me tell you, this kind of shop is very similar to those beauty shops outside the game. As long as you dare to walk in, those enthusiastic teachers Tony will start to give you the benefits and advantages of crazy Amway baking, dyeing and perming, and take care of you With your character, you will probably stand your ground and politely refuse these suggestions for about five minutes, and then ask people to polish, wax and dye you in a daze, and finally apply for a half-year card, spending thousands of gold coins just like that."
Ji Xiaoge’s eyes immediately widened: “Thousands of gold coins!?”
"Thousands of gold coins as base..."
Mo Tan tugged at the corner of his mouth, spread his hands and said: "So, although I think you will look very good even if you dye your wings into the [Dark Fallen Angel] style. Beautiful, but if you plan to enjoy some shopping next Interesting, it’s best not to enter that store yet.”
Ji Xiaoge subconsciously opened his bag and checked his gold coin balance, then raised his hands and patted his cheek. , said firmly: "Well! I'd better not go now. !”
Mo Tan let out a sigh of relief. It’s not that he has any prejudice against this kind of high-end beauty shop. After all, it is understood that this shop is very good in terms of service, technology and materials (?) They are all quite in place, but for Ji Xiaoge now, coming here to bake Mao's financial burden was still too great. Although he didn't mind helping his friends pay the bills, firstly, the character's financial strength was not very good, and secondly, Ji Xiaoge's character would not allow him to mess around. Spending money on friends, so pulling them away is the wisest choice.
"But, having said that..."
Ji Xiaoge suddenly turned his head to look at his thoughtful partner next to him, and asked curiously: "Mo, isn't this your first time in Academy City? How do you know so clearly?"
Look, the proposition appeared so unexpectedly~
Obviously it was just a very common question, but at this moment, Mo Tanlai, who has [Chivalry-Honesty], must be a good boy who does not lie. To put it another way, it is tantamount to a targeted attack that will be irreversible if you are not careful.
Fortunately, Mo Tan had already prepared the draft when he dragged Ji Xiaoge away, so he just smiled and said calmly: "I don't just play this game. I know you and Cordoba a little bit, so I have been told about the charging standards of Angel Series beauty shops before.”
“Well, that’s it.”
< br>
Ji Xiaoge did not doubt that it existed and did not continue to ask further.
Obviously, she had understood the 'acquaintance' in Mo Tan's words to mean an unlucky guy who was a player like herself and had been cheated a lot in Academy City.
But in fact, although there was no lie in Mo Tan's sentence just now, it fundamentally led the girl's thinking astray from the beginning.
'It’s not like I only know you and Cordoba when I play this game. I still have some acquaintances.' This sentence sounds like it refers specifically to 'players', but in fact it covers everything. Mo Tan's connections throughout the Innocence Realm, and because there are no additional restrictions, are common to both players and NPCs.
And 'I have been informed of the charging standards of angel series beauty shops and other information', combined with the previous sentence, it sounds like someone who has been defrauded of a large amount of money is complaining about Mo Tan. In fact The person who went up was Diana, who spent 5,700 gold coins to get a haircut at Angel's Tip. Although she briefly mentioned the amount of money she spent on Frank Hughes in her words to Frank Hughes afterwards, the other nine Cheng Jiucheng shyly asked her boyfriend how he felt after changing his look for the first time in his life. The focus was not money at all.
However, Mo Tan used the very misleading rhetoric just now and successfully made Ji Xiaoge come up with another story, successfully avoiding the punishment of [Chivalry-Honesty].
To be honest, this passive skill is really a waste for people like Mo Tan. After all, it is one thing to not want to lie too much when you are a 'mo', but Mo Tan is good at it. 'Speech skills' is also an indisputable fact, so although [honesty] will cause him inconvenience in various aspects, it is difficult to have a positive effect.
If it were anyone else, anyone who could carry this skill for half a year without dying would probably be able to fully improve the art of language and benefit a lot.
In short, the two of them left the [Angel] series of beauty and hair salons, which are very famous in several first-tier cities in Guilty Continent, and continued to wander around without any purpose. In fact, Mo Tan has been to many of these relatively large and prosperous population gatherings, such as Anka Market not far from here, Salamoun, the royal capital of the Violet Empire, and the famous Sangui Zone, where thieves are located Guild Headquarters and Wanderer Inn Headquarters The Free City, such as the City of Light, the absolute core of the Holy Union, except for the slightly smaller Anka Market, several other places are not inferior to Academy City in terms of area and population, but this place gives people The feeling is completely different from other cities.
If you want to put a label on this place, then Academy City is a city full of 'vibrant' and 'tolerant'. It does not have a clear characteristic, but it contains all kinds of people who can only live in specific places most of the time. The things and atmosphere we saw are actually difficult to express in words... If we had to give a summary, then we might say that this is a 'place full of possibilities'.
It is young and mature, worldly and transcendent. It has been nurturing countless possibilities for hundreds of years. Shops that flock here for business opportunities have a little smell of copper but are down-to-earth; nobles with high status Scholars who are rich in economics; thieves and spies who wander at the intersection of black and white; poets who sing about youth, epic poems, love, and everything that young people like to listen to; pious and humble priests and hurried travelers; these various Such existences, groups, and people are all over the streets and alleys, revolving around a single theme and synchronizing with the city.
The so-called subjects are those who account for 60% of the total population of Academy City. No matter who they were in the past or who they will become in the future, they now only have the identity of 'students' young people...and a few people who are not considered young.
Before leaving here and leaving Academy City to write their own stories, at this moment they are a piece of music full of vigor and vitality, praising youth.
Because of this atmosphere, almost no one will be unable to integrate into this city.

“Yeah, this is the ‘senpai’, bye!”
“Ah...”
A certain unlucky young half-elf. People were dumbfounded as they stared at the retreating figure of the young, beautiful and well-figured cat tribe half-orc female mage. She stood there holding a large pile of old books, and her whole body turned pale.
"Tsk, tsk, the word "sex" has a knife on its head~"
Ji Xiaoge, who was watching the excitement with his arms folded, smacked his lips, shook his head and said: "Today's young people are really..."
Mo Tan interrupted a little funny: "You are also young. Come on, don’t be so old-fashioned, although this guy is a bit stupid.”
“That’s right, Mo, can you go somewhere with me?”
"Huh? Where do you want to go?"
"That one...shouted very loudly, the chef competition or something...it seemed like a lot of fun!"
"???"
