Quadruple split

We can find from many details that Mo Tan and the Rice brothers have known each other for a long time, outside of the game...

In fact, they not only know each other, but also have a considerable degree of friendship. It is a relationship similar to that of a partner, but it is fundamentally different from the former. In other words, it can also be understood as more than a stranger, a bad friend. Unfulfilled subtle friendship.

The two parties met in a small commodity market in City B a few years ago. The Rice brothers had a small store there, which was about the same size as the [Weird and Weird] store they were in now. The main products were magic props, and they also sold some computer accessories. , game software, snacks and other things, it can even provide storage devices filled with small movies.

Their business didn't look very good. Although it wasn't unpopular, it was definitely not popular. It was completely normal for not many customers to come to the door for a whole day. However, until today many years later, the Rice Brothers' [ Weird but still standing in the humble commodity market, it can be seen that the store is not as deserted as it appears, or that the twin brothers, who are suspected of being mentally ill, have other ways to make money. After all, the rent in City B is very high. ...As everyone knows, although it has not reached the ceiling level, it is definitely not low...

It was no accident that Mo Tan was able to find [Strange and Weird]. He was introduced to it by a second-hand dealer who did not want to reveal his name because he wanted to save a computer but did not have the appropriate parts. To put it more carefully, he did not have the parts. The quality is excellent, but the price is about the same as getting it for free.

So he was introduced to Brother Rice by an acquaintance. In the words of the second-hand dealer, a certain pair of twins were definitely not qualified plunderers, but considering Mo Tan's extremely bad character (limited to chaotic neutrality), maybe he could get some help from them. You might be able to find some good stuff at relatively cheap prices.

When he first heard this sentence, Mo Tan thought that the other party believed in his bargaining ability. After all, when he was still a young boy, he had already created a huge reputation near the place where he stayed, especially those dishes. The owner of a roadside stall in the market, who would not dare to call him 'Brother Xiao Kun' when seeing him?

But when he really went through all the twists and turns (actually the place was not far from Mo Tan's house, and the geographical location was not complicated, but it was not simple enough to prevent Mo Tan from getting lost) he met the Rice brothers and discovered that the second-hand dealer It doesn't mean that I can take advantage by going there, but that I have a similar affinity with those two guys.

He first chatted with Ferry for a while as an ordinary customer, and then as a magic enthusiast with some spare money, he asked Joe to perform a few magic tricks on the spot, saying that he wanted to be selective after seeing the actual operation. Purchase some supplies for beginners, and induce the other party to make a promise of "if you see any magic trick, I will give you free props", and finally...

He helped the twins clear two counters.

At that time, the situation was still under his control... until Brother Rice, who was still very interested in giving away several large bags of goods for free, took out a raw egg, and then patted the thing into a fried piece with his bare hands in front of Mo Tan. Egg.

After tasting it personally and eating a piece of CPU from it, Mo Tan, who was under the chaotic neutral personality, was stunned for a rare moment. Then he forgot about the computer and turned to "real magic". Interested, he tried to trade with the goods he had obtained previously, but to his surprise, Brother Rice had no intention of explaining. Instead, they chatted with him about business after generously giving those low-level magic props to Mo Tan.

That's right, down to business, they knew from the beginning that Mo Tan was here to buy computer accessories. The CPU in the omelette was the product prepared by the two brothers, and the price was... three yuan and fifty-eight cents.

"Well, if you have to ask why, it's because it was soaked in fried eggs."

This was the explanation given by Ferry at the time, and Mo Tan, the conscience-stricken person who had passively changed his personality, was forcibly asked to leave the shop because he wanted to pay for the two bags of magic props.

Half a month later, Mo Tan, who had assembled a prototype machine with that CPU as the core, came to [Strange and Weird] again, and expressed with a very wonderful expression that he wanted to buy accessories with the same specifications, but this time the quotation he got was... It is an astronomical number, at least for a person of his age, it is a very, very astronomical number.

"Don't be too expensive. After all, a slightly advanced processor won't cause any trouble, but if you want to build a complete machine with components of the same quality, it's a completely different story, little brother~"

At that time, Ferri just patted the big box filled with equipment in front of him and said with a smile: "So the discount this time will be a few decimal points less."

Mo Tan turned around and left without saying a word. This result was not beyond the twins' expectations, but what they didn't expect was that the other party would come back the next day...

"This is money."

Mo Tan, who was barely a young lady, showed a sly smile, gently placed a card on the counter, and then walked away with the accessories they had no intention of selling to normal people under the dumbfounded gazes of the two brothers.

a month later

When Mo Tan visited for the third time, Brother Rice had completely confirmed that the boy in front of him was not an ordinary person. In other words, although he was ordinary, he was special and inhuman.

"Oh, you want to know where that money came from?"

While peeling the apples he brought, Mo Tan lazily leaned against the counter and said casually: "Actually, it's nothing. I just used all my savings to buy some cosmetics and bought a good quality one from the Internet. I used a voice changer, and then used some special means to get a married lolita with an annual salary of more than seven figures to reluctantly act as my guarantor, and successfully obtained a usury loan, that's it."

The two brothers laughed dryly at the same time and asked in unison: "Then what?"

"Then? Then I used that money to buy parts from you."

Mo Tan took a bite of the apple and said vaguely: "I have to say that the things you have here are really interesting. I used my newly saved computer to hack into a certain drug-related organization, and used their boss's account to connect the money. I returned what I had earned with interest to those who engaged in loan sharking, and by the way, I also made a small-scale exposure. Well, this matter was broadcast during the rule of law last week. I heard that the sentence was not light. Hey, what a good person. ah……"

[This guy bought accessories from us with a loan, and then used a fake computer to hack into a black account of a criminal organization to 'pay back' the money. In the end, he also sent a lot of those people to jail? ! 】

The expressions on the Rice brothers' faces at that time were as wonderful as they could be...

"Okay, I've finished answering both of your questions, so now it's time for me to ask the question."

Xiao Motan threw the apple core into the trash can and smiled at the twins: "Three questions. First of all, I'm curious about why the accessories you sold me before were so advanced. It's not ordinary advanced, but It’s so advanced that it can trigger a war. Secondly, I haven’t figured out the magic trick about fried eggs until now. I hope you can tell me the secret. Thirdly, I found that our store has some specialties every month. Strange amounts of money come in from all over the world, but I, who have enough knowledge and use extremely advanced equipment, cannot trace it back to its source. This thing also makes me very curious. Oh, by the way, you can ask any one of these three questions. Just answer, I know how to be satisfied~"

Two problems, one threat.

The expressions of the twins suddenly became more exciting, but they did not break out as Mo Tan expected. Instead, they laughed happily after being silent for a few seconds.

"We are willing to answer your third question~"

Qiao shook his head like a rattle and bowed with a smile.

"And we can play a game." Ferry suggested immediately, then grabbed an egg out of thin air, knocked it skillfully on the corner of the table, and pulled out an eye that was still open. Open ostrich chicks...yes, eggs and ostrich chicks...

Mo Tan looked at the cub lying in Fei Li's hand with burning eyes, and asked with interest: "What game?"

Joe, who seemed to be connected with Ferry, poked the little ostrich and grinned: "It's very simple. When you can guess the principle of this magic, we will answer your first question unconditionally."

"But before you guess..."

Feli knocked on the counter and smiled: "You can't expose the problems of your computer. It's that simple."

Mo Tan nodded without thinking: "No problem."

"OK, now it's Q\u0026A time." Fei Li stretched out his fist and lightly punched Mo Tan's shoulder, looked around at the various products around him, and laughed in a low voice: "I guess you have guessed that this store The store actually doesn’t have much income. The money you mentioned before is our real source of income~"

Qiao smiled and said: "Tricky products are our main business~"

"That's right, exciting, thrilling, and maybe a little bit dangerous tricky merchandise!"

"For example, this little devil looks like just an ordinary chewing gum, but it can make people constipated for more than thirty hours~"

"For example, this watch is just an ordinary watch on the surface, but when the switch is turned on, it can turn all electronic watches within a radius of two meters into small devices with a speed of 0.5 times. It can make your friends or just anyone miss many important events, such as weddings, Meeting or check-in~”

"There was no high-end market for this product many years ago..."

"But now there are more and more people who have money and a sense of humor..."

"Of course, it could also be that people with a sense of humor are slowly becoming rich~"

“So a sense of humor is a great asset, and if you add a little bit of talent and creativity, it becomes an even greater asset.”

The twins finished the explanation in harmony, waving the two products they had just introduced.

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his index finger and gently scratched his chin. After a while, he laughed softly: "Do you have more products for the 'high-end market'? If the quantity If that’s not enough, I’ve thought of a lot of interesting ideas…”

Ferry/Jo: "?"

…

In the next few years, Mo Tan, who has a chaotic neutral personality, has become a frequent visitor to [Weird and Weird]. In addition to updating the hardware of his computer (such as the micro matrix system), he is also happy to discuss with the twins those unusual and deceptive things. He is also a talented person with humor, talent and creativity. He can often bring a lot of inspiration to the Rice brothers, and the latter will accordingly allocate some shares to him from the products that Mo Tan focuses on. This is not a small amount of money, but most of it was used to update his computer hardware, so it is difficult to effectively turn it into savings.

In order to protect his mental state, Mo Tan would not appear in front of the two brothers under the conditions of 'absolute neutrality' and 'lawful good' personality. He felt that the two human spirits were very likely to see through his faults.

As for the 'game' proposed by the Rice brothers, Mo Tan never guessed the answer, and he followed the rules and did not take the initiative to tell anyone, including Yi Dong, how terrible his computer was.

As for Futaba, she didn't know that the 'BLACK' she had been confronting actually only had a laptop. In fact, the girl thought that the other party had much more powerful hardware than her. Although there was no problem with this conclusion, she The direction is wrong...

All in all, Mo Tan and the Rice brothers have maintained a good tacit understanding and relationship until today.

In fact, he had some guesses about the twins' 'real magic' a few years ago, but Mo Tan never revealed his guess.

Although most of the time, he can be called an out-and-out lunatic when facing the Rice brothers with his 'chaotic neutral' personality, but Mo Tan is not ready yet...

Or it can be said that he is quite content with his life now and can still find enough fun.

So he didn't say anything, and he didn't make any more guesses. He found more pleasure through the realm of innocence, and he didn't even go to "Weird" during this period.

result……

He didn't go, but unexpectedly, the two brothers followed the trend and started playing in the world of innocence, and even continued to do business there and even opened a branch!

Let time return to now...

"Tell the truth~"

Mo Tan casually picked up a piece of hungry dragon candy, squeezed the little green dragon's eyeballs out, and said leisurely: "I think the atmosphere here is more suitable than studying those things in reality. You two, well, both your creativity and workmanship have become much more refined, it feels like you have broken free from some kind of shackles~"

"Of course, there are so many magical materials in reality." Ferry whistled and put his hand into the [little crocodile money bag] next to him. With a click, his wrist was tightly Bite.

Joe pointed to the pair of boots next to him that were doing radio gymnastics crazily: "Look, this is the power of magic. I love magic!"

"Don't interrupt..."

Mo Tan curled his lips and asked meaningfully: "First of all, please explain how you two teleported from that ghost place in Anka Market to here. My old friend saw you!"
