Academy City Central District, Academy City Law Enforcement Complex Main Campus 1F, Guest Lounge

"Well, that's probably the case. I definitely can't handle this matter, and it's not just me. Even if the two masters come, it should be difficult for you two to get it out. The one named Foster will I’ve said it long ago, it’s best if someone from other invited forces sends someone to bail you two out, otherwise…”

Cordoba took a sip of tea, shook his head and smacked his lips: "It's difficult."

Mo Tan, who was sitting opposite, rubbed his forehead, steeled himself and nodded, picked up the teapot and filled Cordoba's cup with hot water: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard at all, it just hurts a little bit."

Cordoba twitched his lips, then looked around the surrounding environment, and smiled: "But the place where you are being held looks pretty good. When I first received the news, I thought you and Ye Ge He was put in a prison, but when he came down, he saw that he even had a tea set."

Mo Tan also laughed, shook his head and said: "Actually, your guess is not wrong. In the beginning, we were actually locked underground. The environment... well, it is indeed not good, but Captain Foster went down After chatting with us, someone took us here to stay, and it felt like he believed that we didn’t do it on purpose.”

"Well, he told me the same thing upstairs before."

Cordoba nodded slightly and said with a bad smile: "Tell me, is it because Ye Ge is so beautiful that the captain had a lust for love and was dazzled by pornography..."

"I guess not."

Mo Tan interrupted Cordoba and said sternly: "On the contrary, although I have only met Captain Foster once, from a feeling point of view, I feel that not only is he not an emotional person, It can even be said that he is the type who is extremely calm."

Cordoba yawned, crossed his legs with difficulty (the legs were too short), and leaned back on the chair with his arms propped up on his head: "Okay, you think so, but what should I do now? I live here. If you are unfamiliar with the country, where can you find other influential delegations to bail you out?"

Mo Tan lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "This is indeed a problem, let me think about it..."

"Captain Foster just told me that if no one comes to bail you out, you will have to be detained for at least three days. This is assuming that they are operating successfully. If you are more pessimistic, this time will even be doubled. , if you are more pessimistic, you may have to face a large amount of compensation."

Cordoba calmly showed his dog face and spread his hands helplessly: "But in his words, the possibility of making you lose money is not high. After all, we are still guests, and Craftsman Town can't be said to have no cards. Even if the Nanyuan Culinary Institute wants to dig deeper, it has to consider whether someone will hack into it and blow up the institute."

Mo Tan sighed softly: "That's what I say, but the main responsibility this time still lies with us. Whether it is intentional or not, it is a fact that the organizer has suffered a lot of harm."

"Hey, no one died."

Cordoba waved his hands indifferently and hummed: "Aunt Guna bombed her own campus before, and she didn't even lose a dime in the end. I've heard about it. This kind of incident happens every time in Academy City." They will provide subsidies. How much does it cost to wash your stomach?"

Mo Tan smiled and didn't say anything more. He just changed the subject casually and said, "Well, Cordoba, please do some hard work and go back to where we live to find Jadka. If he's not there, wait for him to come back. , and then tell him about the matter here. If you are lucky, he should be able to find a solution."

"Looking for Lao Jia?"

Cordoba blinked and wondered, "What can he do?"

"It is said that the Diesel family, the largest force in Cassero Grassland and born in Jadeka, will also participate in the Academy City Exchange Meeting this time."

Mo Tan smiled and said softly: "Anyway, everyone has to know sooner or later that we can't go back. Even if we don't want to trouble Jadeka, he will probably go to the family for help after he understands the situation, so we might as well Just ask for help directly."

As soon as Cordoba heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to Lao Jia and see if he can find a way to get his family to fish it out for you."

"Well, go ahead."

Mo Tan smiled sheepishly and said sincerely: "I'm really troubling you this time. It's really..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk to me about these useless things. We are good buddies, so let's not talk about the nonsense. Besides, Yege and I know each other in real life. If I don't help you, who will help you."

Cordoba waved his hand carelessly and turned his attention to Ji Xiaoge, who had been squatting in the corner since just now, with his wings drooped and facing away from the two of them. After hesitating for a while, he lowered his voice and asked Mo Tan cautiously: "So what, is she okay?"

"It was a shock."

Mo Tan sighed and said in an equally low voice: "It's been like this since the two of us came in."

"Well, it does hurt your self-esteem, but I'd say it's the same for this girl. She knows that her craftsmanship can't be tolerated by normal people, but she still has to join in the fun with others... Oh, let's not talk about it anymore."

Cordoba patted his forehead and glanced at Mo Tan, who was smiling bitterly next to him: "I'm going back to find Lao Jia first. You should comfort her."

"Um."

"See you later, if you have any news."

"good."

"I'm leaving, Xiaoge-san."

Cordoba stood up, shouted at the beautiful winged girl squatting in the corner, and then hurriedly left with his short legs. It must be said that although this guy usually has a young face, He has a shady character, but he is still a warm and kind-hearted person in essence.

five minutes later

"Hello~"

Ji Xiaoge, who was squatting in the corner, let out a dull cry.

"Um?"

Mo Tan, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, turned his head and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

The girl bit her thin lower lip, and after being silent for a while, she suddenly stood up, fluttered her wings and flew to Mo Tan, humming softly: "Didn't Cordoba ask you to comfort me!"

Mo Tan smiled and said, "You heard me."

"My hearing is so good! It gets even better after I enter the game!"

Ji Xiaoge pouted, put her hands on her hips and said, "So! Why don't you comfort me! If I don't speak, you won't speak either!"

"Actually, I have been thinking about how to appease you. I just came up with an idea, but you couldn't sit still before the words were organized."

Mo Tan spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry."

Ji Xiaoge raised his slightly red eyes and glared at Mo Tan fiercely: "Does it take so long to coax a girl!?"

"It depends on the situation. After all, we are not innocent. Both you and I are responsible, especially you, Ye Ge."

Mo Tan stared at the girl's pitiful, aggrieved little face. His voice was calm and soft, but the words he spat out had a rare edge: "You have to bear the main responsibility."

Ji Xiaoge's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists subconsciously, but loosened them feebly after a few minutes. Then he sat down next to Mo Tan. He did not lose his temper unreasonably, but lay on his back. The table murmured: "Well, I know..."

"It would be okay if you only realized it later, but in fact you knew from the beginning that the dishes you cook are not something ordinary people can tolerate."

Mo Tan turned to look at the girl lying next to him, his eyes rested on the latter's red ears for half a second, and continued: "Although I hate to say this, in fact, Ye Ge, your cuisine is indeed very special. , and unfortunately not in a positive way."

Ji Xiaoge did not deny or refute, just buried his head in his arms and said dullly: "Hey, are you really trying to comfort me?"

"I had this plan, but not now. Now it's just a foreshadowing."

Mo Tan shook his head and said honestly: "I think it is necessary to emphasize your problem first, and make sure that you fully understand it before saying something nice. This may have a better effect. Even if it is not better, at least your You will also feel better.”

Ji Xiaoge tilted her head and glared at Mo Tan with half of her pretty face: "Isn't there an option to comfort me directly without emphasizing my problem? I think this will be better both in terms of effect and my mood. "

"Yeah, that's okay too."

As a result, Mo Tan nodded happily, and then smiled and said: "Then, I will skip the part about your own problems and just say nice things to make you happy?"

"No, just say whatever you want."

Ji Xiaoge raised his head, then gave the table a moderately heavy headbutt, and said helplessly: "I want to hear it... No, actually I don't want to hear it, and I know it myself, so I don't need you at all. Say it, but you might as well say it.”

"Okay, let me get it straight. It's a good thing to like cooking. It's also a good thing to want to be a good chef. It's even better to have a dream and be willing to put in enthusiasm and hard work for it. I've always insisted that if it doesn't affect my Quality of life, there is no reason to be criticized by others for doing what you love, it has nothing to do with talent or talent.”

Mo Tan cleared his throat, raised it first, and then began to suppress it: "But if our hobbies will cause trouble and... sorry, trouble and harm to others, then shouldn't we pay more attention?"

"Oh, I know..."

The girl lamented and admitted frankly: "I know my cooking is terrible."

Mo Tan also lamented, shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, your cooking has actually gone beyond the category of 'unpalatable' or 'delicious'. Although I don't know the specific process, with your talent , those ingredients that can originally exist properly under the current world view often jump out of common sense... This is not a typical problem, so I didn't think about how to tell you before."

Ji Xiaoge gave the table another headbutt, and after a brief hesitation, he straightened up and gave Mo Tan a headbutt. He said with a sad face: "You know how much those words you just said affected my girlish heart." Does it hurt?”

"But I tried to be as tactful as possible."

Mo Tan smiled bitterly and avoided Ji Xiaoge's index finger flicking towards his forehead. He shrugged and said, "So, you know what I want to express, right?"

Ji Xiaoge hammered Mo Tan's shoulder hard, and hummed with a flat mouth: "It's okay to have enthusiasm, but don't let the things you do that go beyond common sense harm the whole party."

"That's probably true, but not entirely true."

Mo Tan shook his index finger, leaned back on the chair and stared at the ceiling with a smile: "Actually, you have made a lot more progress than before. I have tried many things in the past six months. In the past two months, there has been almost no life." The value has dropped below 60%, and if you want to make real progress, the suggestions of tasters are indispensable. After all, regardless of the outside of the game, in the game, your [self-produced and self-sold] Talent will seriously affect your judgment of your own cooking.”

Ji Xiaoge wrinkled his nose: "So?"

"So you should give priority to harming the people around you. It is best to be a player who has a strong ability to withstand or will not have problems even if the worst happens, such as Cordoba, such as Anthony Dabbs, such as..."

"Like you?"

Ji Xiaoge interrupted Mo Tan with a smile, blinked his big eyes, and stared at him scorchingly.

"Yes, like me."

Mo Tan sighed, and did not look directly into the girl's eyes. Instead, he looked away and shrugged: "But except for people like us, in the future, unless it is those dishes that are sure of success, you should not challenge the limit with your passion. , although this is a bit hurtful, the risk is indeed too great."

Ji Xiaoge pouted, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Then what if I can't control it... Just like today, I get very excited when I encounter this kind of thing, and when I get excited..."

"If I were here, I would try to stop you as much as possible."

Mo Tan smiled, raised his eyebrows and said: "I have reflected on it just now. Although it was you who caused direct harm to those judges, I am also responsible for condoning you and even helping you in the end. I will never do this again. As long as you are the one who caused direct harm to the judges, I am also responsible. Just don’t hold grudges, and..."

Ji Xiaoge tilted his head curiously and asked doubtfully: "What else?"

"Also, in order for me to reject you smoothly..."

Mo Tan took a deep breath and said with a straight face: "Please don't take off your headgear when you ask me to accompany you to do something very unreasonable like you did just now. ] Acting like a spoiled brat in a state of disbelief!"

Ji Xiaoge was stunned for a moment, then showed a narrow smile and poked Mo Tan's arm with his elbow: "Hey, so among the people who were 'dazzled by pornography' that Cordoba said before, there are actually Mo Tan. Do you want one?"

"..."

"No? Ah! Could it be that you are 'dazzled by love'! Oh, I hate it. If you do this, people will be shy!"

"No...it's not..."

"Eh? What is that? Answer me directly and don't lie! I know you have the gift of honesty!"

"Okay, it's just that you are really lethal in that state and very... beautiful."

"Hey, I've heard people say this so many times that my ears have calluses!"

"That's good."

"But I'm still very happy, hehe~"

"Well……"

"What kind of expression are you looking at! Isn't it because you never praise others for their good looks!"

"Do you need to emphasize such an obvious thing?"

"Hello……"
