Chapter 1349 Fresh Blood (22)
“Ace of Hearts...”
Watching Mr. Tanmo leave blankly, It took a while for Theresa to come back to her senses. Come, look down at the finely crafted, cold-touch metal card in your hand.
The card is about the size of a palm. It is made of extremely high-quality mithril, and you can faintly feel the flow of magic power. There are very elegant and beautiful cloud patterns on the card surface, and in the center is a workmanship that looks like art. There is a brand-like letter 'A', and the background is a blurry whirlpool, which coincides with the clear and bright red 'A'.
On the upper right and lower left corners of the card, there are also heart symbols carved from red translucent material.
Ace of hearts!
Teresa Tarosha never expected that the mysterious leader would directly give herself such a card!
Although she is indeed very confident in her abilities, she also feels that the mysterious Mr. Tan Mo...well, should be said to be the leader now, I am afraid he will not let herself start directly from the bottom 3 , but she never expected that the other party would directly give her an ace!
In Foster's words, although the members of the Harlequin Card...especially the cadres among them do not have absolute authority, there are still status differences within the organization. To put it simply, from low to high they are 3 to 10 of various suits, then J representing knight Jack in Elvish language, Q representing queen, K representing emperor king, and finally there is A which has unknown meaning but seems to be second only to the king in status.
According to Teresa's previous assumptions, if the other party can really agree to join the [Harlequin Card], then she, who is considered a rare talent, should be able to get at least a 7, and if she is lucky, even a 10. It’s not that we can’t fight for it.
As a result, just two minutes ago, I inexplicably became the Ace of Hearts in the [Harlequin Card]!
I, a newcomer who just heard about this organization yesterday and has not yet fully understood its structure and nature, has now become one of the Four Heavenly Kings (Heart Peach) in theory, second only to the leader. A, Ace of Spades, Ace of Clubs, Ace of Diamonds), is this a little bit outrageous? A little bit unreasonable? !
[Speaking of which, he is indeed an acquaintance of Pastor Hei Fan. The leader is really... unique. 】
Sitting back on the chair blankly, Ms. Ace of Hearts caressed the exquisite card in her hand, and began to worry about how she should talk to Foster and Lian when she turned around. Explain this.
……
Game time AM12:25
Academy City Central District, Sui Lin Street, Bitian Park
Stepping briskly to the appointed bench, Mo Tan glanced at it, although he had noticed it earlier He came, but didn’t show any sign at all. The girl who just concentrated on eating the petal-shaped snack in her hand smiled and said Greeting: "Yo~"
"Yes."
The girl with long straight white hair as white as snow, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, nodded expressionlessly. , after giving a casual response, he continued to eliminate the snack in his hand like a hamster. Both the visual effect and the eating efficiency were very remarkable.
"To be honest, the people I have been dealing with recently, regardless of gender, seem to have more white hair."
Mo Tan sat carelessly next to the girl, chuckled and complained.
“I didn’t adjust this myself.”
Mu Xuejian frowned, glanced at the annoying guy next to him displeased, wiped his mouth and said lightly: "I also have white hair outside the game, inherited from my mother."
Mo Tan quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just sighed casually, and did not mean to offend, and I have something to say. I always think white hair looks very good, especially for a beautiful girl like you whose style is closer to the Sanwu type. It’s just right.”
"It's not Sanwu, I just think it's more like a master."
Mu Xuejian shook his head and said seriously: "The heroines in the story are all like this, they are ruthless and don't talk much."< br>
Mo Tan smiled brightly and smiled: "Then what are you like outside the game?"
" It’s privacy.”
In fact, outside the game, Mu Xuejian, who has a completely chuuniu girl style. For a while, she even got herself a set of classic mods like eye patches and bandages, but she didn’t. What a good look on Mo Tan's face: "Did you come to me this time just to talk about these useless things?"
Obviously, this is not the first time they have met.
"You should know why I asked you out."
Mo Tan shrugged, and then asked with a half-smile: "Where do you live now? I remember you have already finished The deal with that Dean Hopkins, so it shouldn’t be in the Holy Lancers "Liu Liting."
Mu Xuejian gave a concise and concise answer. She had already completed the withdrawal procedures and uniformed after the previous meal. Returned to Hopkins and moved out of the small single room in the Paladin Academy.
By the way, she is currently wearing a dress similar to a cheongsam. It is very slim and has a slightly higher slit. However, according to Mo Tan's visual inspection, there should be leggings underneath.
This more Chinese-style outfit is Mu Xuejian’s original equipment. Its attributes are far stronger than the uniform of the Paladin Knight Academy, and the visual effect is also very online. If it weren’t for the girl who is always surrounded by a She has an air of keeping others away, and I'm afraid there's already a long queue of people trying to strike up a conversation with her.
"Liu Li Pavilion..."
Mo Tan smacked his lips and sighed meaningfully: "I remember that place is quite expensive, right?"
" The most ordinary guest room has no windows and only costs a few dozen gold coins a day.”
Mu Xuejian took out a bag of unopened new snacks with an expressionless expression. After a long silence, he muttered in a low voice: "But it is indeed quite expensive."
Mo Tan glanced at it and his expression seemed a little helpless. Di Mu Xuejian asked curiously: "If I remember correctly, you should have received a lot of compensation from the Paladin Knight Academy, right? Ordinary guest rooms are too expensive?"
Mu Xuejian tore it up casually Open the package from He took out a snack that was shaped like a small twist and nodded slightly: "It's too expensive."
"Is the food cost too high..."
Mo Tan looked at the other person's hand. That bag of [Super Wheat Crisp], which retails for 12 gold coins, said thoughtfully: "And after enjoying the ultra-high-standard treatment at the Holy Spear, you may not be able to live in an ordinary place anymore?"
The girl's expression froze, and two blushes appeared on her face.
"Haha, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. In fact, everyone is the same, there is no shame."
Mo Tan said to the person next to him The girl who was a little embarrassed because she was completely guessed smiled, then took out a bottle of sweet lemon-flavored soda from her bag and threw it to Mu Xuejian: "Here."
"Thanks."
The girl pointed her swords and cut off the bottle cap directly in the air. She picked up the bottle of drink and drank it like a ton. She drank half of the bottle in one go and then stopped. He let out a cute burp.
"I still have a small half box here, keep it to drink."
Mo Tan took out another half box of about seven or eight bottles of soda in various flavors from his luggage, and placed it between himself and Mu Xuejian. He said happily: "Although it is not a rare thing, it is still a carbonated drink after all. It can alleviate our homesickness to some extent."
"If you want to drink, quit the game and get it directly from the refrigerator or go to the supermarket downstairs. Same thing, more flavors.”
Mu Xuejian casually negotiated a price for Mo Tan's 'favor', but immediately put away the half-box of drinks and replied in a nonchalant manner: "But thank you anyway."
It is necessary to mention it here. Although Mu Xuejian's attitude was not very good, in the final analysis, she knew from the beginning that this man had ulterior motives for being so kind to her, and was not a kind-hearted person with no desires. In fact, this guy was everything. The picture is very big.
"To be honest, Miss Mu Xuejian, life is not a novel. No matter whether you are a hero or a hero, you will inevitably be troubled by food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even those super-high-end characters in the story who come and go like the wind and are dressed in white like snow Knight, you have to pay to buy two kilograms of pig head meat. If you don't have enough money in your pocket, you have to sleep in the wilderness."
Mo Tan didn't go around in circles anymore, and after a little foreshadowing, he said straight to the point: " In my personal opinion, you probably don’t want to go back to the days when you had to sell martial arts secrets to make a living.”
Mu Xuejian narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly: “Life is precious. , the price of love is higher..."
"I like you, please date me!"
Mo Tan immediately knelt down on one knee and magically took out a bouquet of flowers! Pass it to Mu Xuejian. "Oh."
Mu Xuejian nodded, his index and middle fingers coming together, and a sharp energy suddenly appeared between his fingers.
“Ahem, it’s just a joke, don’t mind~”
Mo Tan immediately put away the flowers in his hand, sat back on the chair seriously, and said seriously: “So, you are the biggest What is your concern - freedom?"
Mu Xuejian nodded slightly, dispersed the sword energy in his fingers, and said calmly: "I prefer a life without restraint."
"You can live an unrestrained life."
Mo Tan shrugged and said in a brisk tone: "[Harlequin Card] can guarantee you maximum freedom."
Mu Xuejian still Without any expression, he said coldly: "Maximum freedom and complete freedom are two different things."
"Innocent."
Mo Tan gave such a short evaluation, Youran said: "There has never been so-called 'complete freedom' in this world. You must know that even in this game, if you do not intend to reduce the quality of your life, it is actually the same."
Because the words were very pertinent, Mu Xuejian, who knew very well that he could not even afford biscuits if he had no money, did not refute.
“Join [Harlequin Brand], and you can get an unlimited supply of carbonated drinks.”
Mo Tan crossed his legs and stated his conditions straightforwardly: “Join [Harlequin Brand] , you will have at least 10,000 gold coins in pocket money every month, excluding travel expenses, task rewards and allowances; join [Harlequin Card], no one will restrict your freedom, you can go wherever you want to do, and do Anything you want to do; join [Harlequin Card], I will give you the highest-level cadre treatment, which can help you do many things that one person cannot do; join [Harlequin Card], I can only arrange tasks suitable for you , and the frequency is up to you."
Mu Xuejian breathed a sigh of relief and asked lightly: "The reason?"
"You are very strong, and you can become stronger. Strong.”
Mo Tan answered without thinking.
“There are people better than me everywhere.”
“That is only temporary, and you are a player, so you are much more valuable than NPC.”
“Also ”
“You have unlimited potential, and you can train strong people in batches”
"How can you give me pocket money?"
"Go to the Gold Coin Merchant Association to open an account, and I will transfer money into it regularly every month."
"What do you mean by unlimited supply of soda?"< br>
“Do you know about the Holy Lady of Fortune Church, Fiari Graham? She is my strategic partner. Soon, as long as you report my name, you can buy from any direct sales store under her name. Receive unlimited carbonated drinks”
“Are you sure you don’t want to restrict my freedom?”
"Yes, I will only occasionally ask you for commissions. You have the right to refuse, but these commissions are all paid."
"Including helping you train others to use swords? As promised in advance, I am very Picky."
"It doesn't matter, I don't like the people you like."
"It's suitable for my task."
"You like it. Challenge the strong and I will find a suitable target for you.”
"You want me to be a killer?"
"To be precise, it's just a part-time job."
"I don't like killing innocent people indiscriminately."
"Then I'll look for those Kill targets that will not cause you psychological pressure, or select those that do not require assassination and entrust them to you. "
"What does the [Harlequin Card] cadre mean?"
"There are a lot of horses to send around, a lot of resources to utilize, a lot of money to spend, and a lot of outstanding people in various fields to help you."
"Sounds good."< br>
“So, you agreed?”
Mo Tan took out a delicate and beautiful card from his pocket and shook it gently.
“Actually, I have always felt that being a senior member of such-and-such organization is very exciting.”
Mu Xuejian smiled faintly and said softly: "Of course, the main reason is that you did promise to give me enough benefits, and I am very sure that I deserve this preferential treatment."
Mo Tan He smiled and handed the card in his hand to the young man. Woman: "So it's a win-win deal."

After scanning the item information, Mu Xuejian nodded lightly and put it into his bag: "Well, it sounds like Quite handsome."
Mo Tan blinked and said happily: "That's really an honor. In short, welcome to the [Harlequin Card], Ms. Ace of Spades."
