Quadruple split

"Sorry."

After confirming that the ghost image that had just appeared began to collapse and eventually disappeared behind the black sandalwood without a trace, Xinglong, who was still able to perfectly control the power of the tiger even if he lost an arm, stopped the attack without hesitation and withdrew his right fist, which was already irreversible in the eyes of others. He digested the backlash of this move calmly and apologized to the opponent who had turned back into an ordinary half-dragon, lost his dragon horns and wings, and had only a pair of rough linen pants on his body: "I talked too much and dragged my feet."

"No, no, no, this is not your fault."

The side effects of the full release of [Reverse Scale] were offset by [The Lawgiver's Will]. In this game, he only needed to bear a 10% reduction in all attributes, a halving of all professional and specialization experience, and no load. Mo Tan, who could not be protected by conventional senses to attenuate these debuffs, shook his head vigorously and explained hastily: "Logically, the double buff I used as a last resort should last at least five seconds, but it just ended... prematurely."

Xinglong frowned and hesitated: "Could it be that your last move was too cruel?"

"Probably not."

Mo Tan shook his head and said seriously: "I can feel that my physical condition is not bad. Although the load is definitely not light, in the state just now, it is likely that I will not be overwhelmed by the third buff effect. It is better to say that the core of the last skill is also a buff..."

Xinglong, who walked slowly in front of Mo Tan, was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "You said it was a buff skill? Why do I feel that you want to ask God to punish me?"

"Not that bad, not that bad."

Mo Tan laughed dumbly and shook his head, saying, "It's not like that to summon a god. That skill was originally a buff skill. It's just that the visual effect is exaggerated after it was strengthened. If the buff on me didn't end early, it must be me fighting with you. That's the trigger behind it."

Xinglong was stunned again: "Have you really summoned a god?"

"I..."

Mo Tan swallowed the words after realizing that he might be sanctioned by the system if he denied it, and answered the question irrelevantly: "I just have acquaintances in the Holy Church Union and know what "God's Descent" looks like."

"Haha, you use this "just" very bluntly."

Xinglong laughed heartily, then changed the subject and asked, "So the thing that can affect the skill effect text is indeed..."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, knowing what the other party was asking very well. He looked up and said seriously: "I think you are right, but the direction is wrong. That state is also difficult for me to replicate."

Xinglong smiled and teased: "Is it the cool state you just now?"

"Not cool at all."

Mo Tan smiled bitterly and shook his head, covering his head and sighing in annoyance: "I am still in a daze now, and I feel really bad."

Xinglong smacked his lips, but did not deny Mo Tan's statement. Instead, he nodded and agreed: "But I think so too. The way you looked just now was obviously wrong. The "that" you successfully used in the end seemed to be inconsistent with your temperament. It was too gloomy."

"You can know a person's face but not his heart."

Mo Tan pulled the corner of his mouth self-deprecatingly and shrugged: "Maybe I am a gloomy person, and I just pretend to be calm and sunny at ordinary times."

Xinglong, who always had a good impression of Mo Tan, waved his hand and shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. "

"In short..."

Mo Tan had no intention of dwelling on this topic, so he transformed [Xiao] into a ruthless sword and put it on his waist, and said to Xinglong seriously: "I lost with a clear conscience."

"It should be."

Xinglong was not blindly modest, but said seriously: "At least at this stage, I am stronger, but soon, when everyone is stuck in the epic bottleneck, it is hard to say."

Mo Tan laughed dumbly and asked curiously: "Are you not sure if you can get the top three in the team competition?"

"Not sure."

Xinglong nodded very honestly and said seriously: "I don't even know if I can get through the level of Broken Wind Bird."

Mo Tan, who had never expected Xinglong to be so outspoken, pulled the corner of his mouth: "Is it okay for you to say it so directly in public?"

"No problem, it's not just us who are unsure."

Xinglong smiled casually, spread his right hand and said: "They must be even more unsure."

"I see. "

Mo Tan, who was in pain everywhere, staggered to the ground and looked up at Xing Long and asked, "Do you need to give me the last blow?"

"There's no need for that. We'll say hello to them later and you just need to retreat."

Xing Long shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I promise to do my best for you too..."

[Your teammate: Bloody, has died]

[Your teammate: Gentleman, has died]

[Your teammate: Pioneer, has died]

As a result, at this moment, a series of system prompts sounded in Xing Long's ears without warning, making him freeze in place as if struck by lightning, and after he came to his senses, he immediately turned his head to look at his teammates not far away.

Or rather, it was where his teammates were supposed to be.

It's a pity that since Xing Long was stunned for at least half a second before turning back, he didn't even see a trace of white light at this moment. The only thing in his field of vision was Jiu Chong, the only survivor among his teammates, and Ji Xiao Ge and Lu Jiang, who were as gloomy as water.

"Hey! ”

Xinglong suddenly turned to Mo Tan and said with rare anger: "This is different from what was promised!"

"wait--"

Mo Tan, who noticed the grill in front of Ji Xiaoge, immediately shouted loudly and said seriously: "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here!"

"Misunderstand!?"

Xinglong was frightened at that time, and raised his fist to hit Mo Tan on the head: "Three people died on my side in an instant! How could it be a mistake..."

"Wake up the dragon!"

As a result, at this moment, Jiuzhong, who was also shocked when the other three people died, tore up a scroll of [Amplification Technique] and said loudly: "It's a misunderstanding!!"

Xinglong, who had just raised his fist halfway: "...Huh?"

"Let's go, just go and ask."

Mo Tan sighed, glanced at Xinglong who put down his fists, and said with a wry smile: "I have probably guessed the reason."

Xinglong: "...ah?"

So, the two of them walked quickly to Ji Xiaoge, Lujiang, Jiuzhong and the grill. The first thing Mo Tan did after seeing Ji Xiaoge was to open his mouth and ask: "Are you messing around again?" Developed some weird new dishes?”

Ji Xiaoge: "I..."

"Just wait a minute."

Mo Tan raised his hand to interrupt Ji Xiaoge, and then took out a soundproof barrier scroll that almost all adventurers would carry with them. He tore it open and disabled the radio function of the broadcast system.

Xinglong, on the other hand, looked at Jiuzhong with a confused look on his face and asked, "What's going on? What kind of misunderstanding did you just say?!"

"Well, rather than saying it's a misunderstanding, it's better to say that the three of them are seeking death..."

Jiuzhong scratched his hair and glanced at the grill in front of Ji Xiaoge with a subtle expression, as well as the meat skewers on it that were still exuding an alluring aroma and full of color. He said with a grimace: "To put it simply, Sister Yege discovered a very rare material here, and we helped her collect it. Then she decided to test it on the spot, and simply had an outdoor barbecue, and the little blood stained them... you know of."

Xinglong, who is also a member of the Red Constellation, was of course able to tell the truth. He immediately said suddenly: "They think Miss Yege's barbecue is good, so they plan to have a meal?"

“Not only that, but they even used the favor that they had done to help others collect carbon as blackmail.”

Jiuchong sighed deeply, looked at the position where Xue Ran and others collapsed when they were dying, and said with difficulty: "Little sister Ye Ge has emphasized many times that she thinks that dish...well, it doesn't matter. I'm immature and don't want to feed them, but it's not like you don't know the character of those guys. Since the outcome of this game is already on you, it's simply impossible for them to continue to impose orders and prohibitions. Plus, that The meat skewers look very attractive, so..."

Xinglong: "So you just coax them shamelessly and want others to give them some food?"

Kunou: "...Yes."

Xinglong: "...then what?"

Kunou: "...Then all three of them died."

Xinglong: "...?"

…

After that, the weird silence lasted for ten seconds before it was broken by Ji Xiaoge

“I didn’t develop any weird new dishes!”

The girl turned to Mo Tan with a look of grievance, pouted and said, "I told them...it definitely won't taste good, but they didn't listen and kept saying it would be delicious. Me...me too." Seeing that they vowed to bear the consequences, and they felt that it would be impolite to refuse all the time, so... ugh."

"I don't mean to blame you."

Mo Tan quickly walked to Ji Xiaoge and comforted him softly: "I'm just looking for an explanation to prevent the viewers who are watching the live broadcast from thinking too much."

"We will also cooperate with what Brother Mo said just now and try our best to prevent Little Sister Yege from becoming the focus of public opinion."

The petite coach with seven orifices in the red constellation immediately nodded in agreement and said seriously: "Although the number of witnesses is a bit too many, we can use the argument that Miss Yege planned to use new materials for cooking experiments from the beginning today. As for that The three guys... It doesn't matter. Under the premise that the decision-making power of the game rests with Brother Mo and Xinglong, even if they die because of greed, they won't be criticized too harshly. Let the colleagues in the public relations department keep a close eye on them. Enough."

It is very clear that Jiuzhong's method almost perfectly nipped the 100% true rumor that "Yege contestant is a super cooking idiot who can kill people just by grilling skewers" in the bud. Mo Tan was extremely grateful to this little girl. He immediately smiled at him and said with great sincerity: "Then I'll spare you the trouble."

"If this is where it is, it's obviously the fault of those three guys being so stubborn."

Jiuzhong shook his head and said equally sincerely: "I hope you can forgive them for their rashness."

Considering that if we continue to be polite to each other like this, we will fall into a nutritious cycle, so as [Zoo] spokesperson Mo Tan (Ji Xiaoge) has shrunk behind him, Lujiang looked at the remaining meat on the grill with lingering fear. Chuan shivering) did not continue to say anything, just smiled gracefully.

"Then, if the three of you have no objections, let this game end here."

Xinglong made a concluding speech as the captain, and then smiled at Mo Tan, who had communicated with him a lot in this game: "Do you mind adding a friend?"

Mo Tan, who had just been betrayed by Xinglong, naturally had no reason to refuse. He simply nodded and said with a smile: "That's natural."

"Then Yege and Lujiang, please add me as your friend."

Koujong, who didn't know Lujiang's real gender yet and didn't intend to arouse the pigeon's vigilance, also hurriedly greeted the two girls (although Lujiang was a man), and then hurriedly added: "Don't worry, it's just ordinary friendship. I'll see if there is a chance to help each other out. I won't ask around or try to get you to join us every now and then."

"Okay, okay!"

Lujiang, who has been a fan of the Red Constellation for many years, nodded flattered, and then asked softly: "Um... Can I add Xinglong as my friend?"

"Just call me by my name."

Xinglong, who could tell at a glance that the other party was probably his fan, smiled at Lujiang and praised: "You are the strongest among the player druids I have seen so far."

Lujiang waved his hand happily: "No way..."

"Even if you didn't tell me, I was planning to add you as my friend after the game."

Because the other party didn't ask to add someone as a friend, the delighted girl immediately held Jiuzhong's hands affectionately: "The weather is getting colder, I want to ask you about knitting~"

"Isn't it only October now..."

Jiuzhong was stunned at first, then lowered her voice and said: "No problem, I can teach you to knit gloves or scarves, do you want to add heart-shaped patterns?"

"What era are you still knitting heart-shaped patterns... Is it easy to knit?"

"Simple, simple, I guarantee you can learn~"

"Then..."

"Yeah! No problem, I think it's okay..."

"Wow, that's okay, then I think..."

Just like that, in less than a few words, the two girls started chatting, and it was not until they talked about knitting techniques for half a minute that they realized that the game was not over yet.

Of course, professional player Jiuchong was somewhat accommodating, while Ji Xiaoge, who was full of thoughts about preparing a Christmas surprise for someone, really forgot about the game.

"So..."

Finally, Xinglong stretched out his right fist to Mo Tan and said with a smile: "Next time we have the opportunity to fight with all our strength, I hope we can still have as much fun as today."

"The cost of letting you have fun is too high."

Mo Tan also laughed, and then stretched out his right fist and gently hit Xinglong: "I'll try my best."

Game time PM15:29

[Guilt Discussion·Team Battle] In the first round of the quarterfinals, [Zoo] team Mo lost to [Red Constellation] captain Xinglong in the competition. [Zoo] gave up the game according to the agreement before the battle. [Red Constellation] advanced to the eighth place. Because the death of its members Bloody, Gentleman and Pioneer due to extremely stupid reasons caused the team to suffer the largest and worst loss of personnel since the start of the game, it was internally punished to clean the training room for Xinglong for a week after the game and do yoga with Yinyue for three days.

In addition, Xinglong suggested that Yoga also let the three people replace him, but was collectively rejected.
