Chapter 1530 Interlude·33
“…”
As if he didn’t hear the other party’s words, Mo just turned his body, put his arm on the armrest to support his cheek, his eyes behind the mask Narrowing his eyes slightly, a hint of amusement flashed through his abyss-like black eyes, which was subtle but extremely sarcastic.
It’s too obvious, really too obvious.
Although the existence of information gaps does not make those people...those hiding under the table look too stupid, it is really ridiculous if you only look at this so-called 'trap'.
And the being who controls the world in a certain sense seems to have the same view, so he unabashedly comes out to contact 'Mo Tan' and tries to restore balance to the situation through another equally lame method. .
[Haha, I'm embarrassed... I'm so embarrassed...]
The corners of Mo's mouth raised slightly, outlining a playful arc, and his shoulders shook in a rare way.
This is understandable. After all, it is indeed a bit hard to endure and not laugh wildly.
"So...you don't plan to participate?"
Already accustomed to the other person's appearance, the cold and beautiful dark elf slowly walked out of the darkness, with her beautiful long silver hair hanging casually on her back. She looked particularly dazzling and out of place in such a dark and depressing environment. .
Mo did not turn around to look at the girl next to him who seemed to be getting used to the atmosphere. He just said lightly: "It makes no sense."
"Eh?"
Although the other party's answers and tone of voice can be described as indifferent in most cases, and there is even a hint of obvious impatience in them, Ji Xiaodao is still a little surprised by the reaction of the person next to him. For example A very inappropriate example, like suddenly seeing Fat Tiger doing good things.
On the other hand, Mo, who was leaning on the chair, frowned unnoticeably after hearing Ji Xiaodao's 'eh' that was obviously two times louder. However, because he was wearing a mask, was not discovered by the latter.
"Ahem, what I mean is..."
Ji Xiaodao, who had re-adjusted his mood, coughed slightly, paused unnaturally for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "The reward for that competition Seems pretty good?”
As expected, the gloomy masked man in the chair didn’t react as if he hadn’t heard.
"Well, you really don't seem like someone who cares about that kind of thing."
Ji Xiaodao, who then realized that the other party really had no reason to participate, shrugged, feeling helpless. He muttered, and then said with some reluctance: "But even if you don't need the epic-level professional missions, the legendary equipment should be pretty good, right?"
Mo glanced at Ji Xiaodao indifferently, but still did not speak. Just when the latter curled his lips in frustration and was about to 'talk about business', the door of the study room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
“I’m here, boss.”
Jiawen, who rarely used [Thousand Faces] to change her appearance, walked in briskly. She was wearing a slim-fitting burgundy dress. Tuxedo, that one is very popular in Ji Xiaodao’s eyes Deceptive, the picture-like elegant and soft face was full of smiles: "Sister Ji Prayer is here too."
Ji Xiaodao glanced at Gawen with a slight frown on his eyebrows, if she guessed correctly. , the latter should have been called over by Mo just now.
“Wait.”
Mo just said something lightly, then closed his eyes and fell into a state of sleep.
“Okay boss~”
Gawen nodded meekly, and then took out a high-backed chair with exquisite workmanship from her luggage, and placed it on the large table He sat down next to the desk, reached for a stack of reports next to him, and started reading. The position happened to be facing Ji Xiaodao, who was leaning on the edge of the table.
Then the study fell into a reasonable silence.
One of the three people leaned on the chair with his eyes closed, one crossed his arms and frowned slightly, and the other smiled and looked through the simple reports collected here from various places in the Southwest Continent. Did anyone say more? sentence.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the study door was pushed open again. Ji Xiaodao and Jia Wen subconsciously turned their heads and saw that there was no one there.
Then he bowed his head again, Merlin.
I don’t know why, Ji Xiaodao’s brows spread quietly.
"I'm not saying that, Mr. Mo, can you stop making the house dark?"
As the saying goes, if there is an old man in a family, if there is a treasure, the big baby Merlin comes into the house. Then he immediately taught himself a lesson His patron paused for a moment, then he casually took something out of his cuffs that seemed to hold little. He rubbed his hands together, and a soft and bright light filled the entire room. Not only was it not dazzling, It also feels very natural.
Apart from the lack of temperature, there is no difference from normal natural light.
“Wow~”
Jiawen cast her eyes admiringly at the old man standing at the door, and said sincerely: “Master Merlin, it’s a pity that you don’t want to be a magician.”< br>
“This is science, or the alchemy of this world, and has nothing to do with magic or anything like that.”
Merlin said casually, looking left and right. Seeing that there was no chair suitable for him, he simply sat down on the carpet in the middle of the study room. He looked up at Mo Tan, who had opened his eyes at some point, and said quickly: "If you have anything to do, just tell me and don't show off, Mr. Mo." Do you know how many projects I have now? Sixteen projects! Osiris and Garros are almost exhausted from just participating in some basic work!”
Only Mo smiled lightly at the old man, who looked pleasant (compared to others). He did not immediately explain why he called him over, but asked softly: "So Merlin, the problem you encountered is ?”
“I’ve said it a million times!”
The old man blew his beard and stared. Mo Tan said angrily: "Insufficient manpower! Insufficient manpower! Insufficient manpower!!"
Mo nodded slightly, paused for a moment and then continued: "But I should have said before, as long as you are optimistic about it, Anyone can call it at will."
"Yes, you said it."
Merlin tugged at the corner of his mouth and said angrily and with some frustration: "But the problem is that there is no one I like at all. Except for Garros and Osiris who can help a little, everyone else is useless! They are all used as experimental subjects. What a stupid waste! And you said you are someone I like, but I am too busy in the workshop every day. Where can I find someone? I'm looking for someone to host the project? Are you going?"
Looking at the increasingly angry old man, Ji Xiaodao and Jia Wen exchanged glances. The old man is indeed an old man, and people have to admire his ability to ignore Mo's oppression and directly curse.
"You are joking."
Mo changed his honorific, smiled softly, and said calmly: "There are specialties in the art, even if I want to go to you You don’t trust me to leave professional matters to me, so let’s just stop doing some unimportant research for now. , before you find a suitable assistant to share the work, you can just focus on a few key projects at hand."
When Mo said this, Merlin's face suddenly became suffocated, and it took him a long time to do it. Voice: "All projects... are quite important."
Mo shook his head and said slowly: "There is always a priority."
"You kid...Oh, forget it, let's talk about this later."
Obviously it is. There were so many things that he wanted to study that he seriously exceeded the human resources budget. Not only did he detain Osiris and Garros, but Merlin, who was the first to complain, finally didn't bother with it any more, instead he groaned with a stinky face. After making two noises, he brought the topic back in annoyance: "So why did you ask me to come?"
"You must have read the official announcement..." Seeing that Mr. Merlin stopped acting recklessly, Mo did not continue talking about the topic just now. He just asked lightly, and after a pause, he added: "That [criminal debate]."
Ji Xiaodao didn't react at all. After all, she had already mentioned this matter when the other party first came online.
Gawen smiled and winked at her boss playfully: "Of course I have seen it, I think the name of this activity is very interesting, as if...it is dedicated to you, the criminal. "It's too far-fetched for Your Excellency."
Ji Xiaodao shook his head and looked at Jia Wen with a sharp look: "The reason for calling it [Inquisition of Crime]. Is it just because the name of this game is [Innocent Realm]?”
“I still think the World’s Best Martial Arts Tournament is better, haha”
Merlin thought he had made a wisecrack, but no one laughed.
“It’s just a joke~”
Gawen shrugged, put her hands together and made a cute head tilt, but no one thought it was cute, or in other words, no one cared. Isn't she cute.
"Gawen."
Ignoring the exchange between the three of them just now, he turned his gaze to Gawen Mo and said slowly: "You died once in Academy City before. I downloaded [Thousand Faces], but..."
"Well, the character has been scrapped."
Jiawen didn't let her boss finish, and replied obediently: "Although the lost profession has been learned back, the [Shadow Spear] has also been recovered. , but in terms of hard power, it is only at the intermediate level, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is pure rubbish."
Mo nodded noncommittally, seemingly casually. He said quietly: "Pay more attention in the future."
"There won't be a next time..."
Jiawen replied in a cold tone, then licked the corner of her mouth, her expression suddenly changed. He collapsed: "Although I really want to say this, after all, nothing is absolute. If a similar failure occurs again, please be noble and don't fire me."
"There is a difference between failure and failure."
Mo lazily raised his hand and touched the outer edge of the mask, with a hint of mockery in his tone: "A powerful enemy is never a rival. You are the stupid one."
"..."
With an expressionless face, Gawen subconsciously clenched her hands in her sleeves and had a good time. After a while, he stood up silently, bowed to Mo Tan, and replied in a voice without any emotion: "Keep it in mind."
"I admit your strength, but in many cases, simply Being strong in a certain field is not enough, especially in this world, you need to add some more real strength.”
Mo ignored Jia Wen's statement and just said to himself: "So this [criminal debate] is an opportunity for you."
"My time is precious and I don't have time to fight with others. "Fight, kill, kill."
Merlin said this angrily.
"I support the boss's view~"
Sitting back on the chair, Gawen folded her legs gracefully and chuckled: "So what you mean is, let Sister Ji Pray Is it okay to take the two of us for a group battle?”
Ji Xiaodao was slightly startled when he heard this, and then turned to look at Mo, looking a little surprised.
“The Silent Prayer Club will participate in the individual competition alone.”
Mo nodded slightly and glanced at Gawen and Merlin: “And you two, if you can, join her together. Team battle."
Gawen blinked, and then raised her hand to cover her mouth cheerfully: "Would this be too troublesome for Sister Ji Prayer? It must be tiring to do it all, right?"
“Think about the rules of the game.”
Mo did not answer directly, but gave a faint reminder.
“Oh!”
Before Gawen could react, Merlin stood up immediately, and his original expression of lack of interest suddenly became enthusiastic: “I thought of it, I thought of it Well, if you are thinking about 'that thing', I think it should be feasible!"
As soon as she heard the words 'that thing', Ga Wen also showed a look of surprise, and then His face suddenly turned subtly pale.
“I have already read the report on [criminal-impregnated bombs].”
Mo casually picked up a stack of reports and experiment logs that were nearly a hundred pieces of parchment, and said calmly: "According to the rules of [Inquisition and Debate], consumables in the game can be used in the competition without restrictions, and according to me As far as we know, the success of [criminal impregnated bombs] The cost is very low, and the only difficulty is that there are very few 'adapters' who can meet the requirements for its use."
Merlin nodded immediately and said without thinking: "Yes, the only two successful subjects now. Body is me And Jia Wen, but there is a variable problem here. I need some more precise data support. Since Mr. Mo, you have read my report and Jia Wen’s, you should know what I am referring to.”
< br>"Just do it "
Mo Tan nodded slightly and said without hesitation: "I agree."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaodao finally couldn't help but ask: "So what do you mean? It’s…”
"It should be the player."
Gawen shrugged, spread his hands and said: "After all, the death record of NPC subjects so far is 100%, and the only two player subjects are me and Master Merlin. , and they all succeeded."
"Theoretically, Silent Prayer Girl. You can also withstand the power of the [Sin-soaked Bullet].”
Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly and grinned: “We have one thing in common, my [Crazy Sin] and Jiawen’s [Sin]. The crime of treason], and your..."
"No"
As a result, at this moment, Mo suddenly interrupted Merlin and shook his head slowly -
"Don't ration [criminal-impregnated bullets] to her."
