Chapter 1048 - 481: Gathering Online (I)_2
Yu Chen tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, "Mmm, I’ll listen to you, but it’s okay with Xia Lian, is involving Luna a bit... um..."
"Relax, as long as it’s clear that the plan was arranged by me, the ideas came from me, and drinking the potion was your initiative, the Church of Dawn won’t trouble Luna, they might even try to win over this non-mainstream apprentice alchemist."
Mo Tan, having already considered this issue, directly dispelled Yu Chen’s worries with a light chuckle, "Actually, this is a good thing. Since Luna wants to find a stable place in the Holy Land to devote herself to research, she’ll have to deal with the Holy Church Union sooner or later. If we can get the Church of the Dawn to notice her talents, many things will become more convenient. You know how that girl is, her social skills are only slightly better than yours. Having a backer to protect her would be good."
"Mo Tan is so considerate."
Yu Chen let out a small sigh of relief, then teased with a slight laugh, "That’s true, after all, you two have slept together before~"
"You should know that was a misunderstanding!"
Mo Tan exclaimed desperately.
"I’m just kidding~"
Yu Chen covered her mouth and chuckled.
Just then, there was suddenly activity in the group chat that the two of them were in...
FFF Group East Asia Division Seventh Special Combat Team Private Cui Xiaoyu: Is everyone here? Here? Here? It’s about time, right? Let’s chat, everyone!
Dayang: Yu bro, you done washing dishes?
Master Kang: I guess he accidentally broke something and got kicked out of the kitchen...
FFF Group East Asia Division Seventh Special Combat Team Private Cui Xiaoyu: Damn, how did you know!
Energetically Rising Little Gogog: [Laughing on the floor emoji]
Master Kang: I’ve had special talents since I was a child.
Mo Tan is my dad: @Dad, when did you change my name!!
FFF Group East Asia Division Seventh Special Combat Team Private Cui Xiaoyu: ...
Master Kang: ...
Dayang: ...
Xiao Island: Heh
Energetically Rising Little Gogog: [Rolling on the floor laughing emoji]
I am Mo Tan’s dad: @Dad, when did you change your own name!
Three-Good Youth Mo Tan: Everyone please consciously ignore the ’@’.
Energetically Rising Little Gogog: [Spiralling to heaven with laughter emoji]
FFF Group East Asia Division Seventh Special Combat Team Private Cui Xiaoyu: +1
Master Kang: +1
Xiao Island: +1
Yu Chen♣: [Messing up formation emoji]
Dayang: +1
[Dayang has withdrawn a message]
Dayang: [Flipping table emoji]
Sexy Yi Dong Online Shutdown: Why is even Yu Chen bullying me!
Xiao Island: Isn’t she helping you mess up the formation?
Yu Chen♣: [Cute hamster emoji]
Master Kang: About time we get started, huh~
Xiao Island: Hold on.
Dayang: What’s up?
Xiao Island: My sister can’t stand up because she’s laughing so hard. I’ll go and console her. 30s.
Sexy Yi Dong Online Shutdown: ...
Three-Good Youth Mo Tan: [Spiralling to heaven with laughter emoji]
Then a series of +1s followed.
Even though she didn’t click +1, Yu Chen, who was actually giggling, made two faux pokes at the camera and said, "You are so bad~"
Mo Tan looked up at the sky and whistled.
"Well, see you in the group chat!"
"Bye~" Yu Chen waved his little hand at Mo Tan as Ji Xiaoge reappeared in the group chat, sending a maniacally laughing emoji.
"Bye~"
Mo Tan casually flicked his index finger, ended the video call, and joined the group video chat in the next second.
So, less than two seconds after they’d parted ways, Yu Chen reappeared on screen, followed by Cui Xiaoyu, Wanyang, Yi Dong, Kanglan, Xiao Island, and some honey-haired short-haired beauty leaning on Xiao Island’s shoulder—well, that was actually Ji Xiaoge, but she seemed not quite recovered yet as she was still trembling with laughter.
Yi Dong’s face turned dark right then.
Ji Xiaodao looked through the screen at everyone with an expressionless face: "I’ve tried my best."
Just then, Yi Dong’s phone suddenly rang: Daddy, daddy, where are we going?
On seeing the caller ID, Yi Dong exploded: "Damn you, Mo Tan!"
The group burst into laughter right away, and Ji Xiaoge rolled right off the shoulder of her only non-laughing sister...
"Ahem, okay, okay~"
The first to stop laughing, Kanglan straightened the camera and his glasses: "How’s everyone been doing with the game lately?"
Wanyang sighed: "War."
Mo Tan shrugged: "War."
Yu Chen blinked: "War."
Cui Xiaoyu spread his hands: "Just accompanying Mo Tan and Yu Chen in their war."
Kanglan, who hadn’t been in much contact with everyone, paused for a moment and asked skeptically: "Wanyang, are you sure it’s war and not brawling?"
"Absolutely sure."
Wanyang, clad in a black leather jacket looking very stylish, rolled his eyes: "I went to Holy Mountain Sumier, right? Recently, there’s been constant conflict with the Heretics over there. Yuge should know—damn those lunatics are disgusting. They pop up unexpectedly, and their abilities are so tricky that even someone of higher ranks can be affected. Sigh, I don’t know how I survived these days."
Cui Xiaoyu, who had stayed in Sumer for a while, became instantly interested, asking with concern: "Those guys who claim they can actually turn into bulls if they say so? They aren’t that strong; I thought your Great Shamans would have wiped them out by now."
"They can’t just say they’re bulls and become bulls... Ah, whatever."
Wanyang shook his head helplessly, dryly said: "I was optimistic before, but I didn’t expect those guys to have reinforcements, what did they call them, Whisperers or something. They’re pretty strong, and now the conflict has completely stalemated. We can’t break into that damn hideout, and they can’t get up to our main peak. The Holy Church Union, those... uh, I’m not talking about you, Mo Tan and Yu Chen. Anyway, the Holy Church Union had promised to send support, and after so long, there’s still no movement."
Mo Tan and Yu Chen exchanged a look, both smiled sheepishly. They had heard a thing or two from Xia Lian about the situation in Sumier, but they had been too busy themselves to pay much attention to the news from the Holy Land, so they were somewhat clueless.
[But... Whisperers, huh...]
Mo Tan momentarily spaced out, then suddenly revealed a wickedly interesting smile, murmuring softly: "This is getting interesting~"
At the same time, both Yi Dong and Yu Chen thoughtfully looked at Mo Tan on their screens—the former grinding his teeth in annoyance, the latter biting her lower lip in confusion. However, since it was a video chat, no one noticed their expressions.
"Though I did level up pretty fast recently. I was twenty-two when I logged out yesterday. Too bad the War Shaman is a support class; otherwise, I’d love to challenge you in the arena."
Wanyang smacked his lips regretfully, then huffed: "Speaking of which, Xiao Kang, why’d you only ask me about the war? Mo Tan and Yu Chen are also fighting, right?"
"You should check out the forums more often."
Kanglan lifted his middle finger to adjust his glasses, spreading his hands: "Commander Hei Fan and Saintess Morning Forgotten Language are already well-known. They might not compare to professional gamers, but they’re celebrities in their own right, not to mention Xiaoyu, who’s been dominating the combat power leaderboard at second place all this time, so he’s been famous for a while."
Wanyang posted a puzzled face in the group chat.
"Let them tell you about their glorious deeds later, I’m pretty curious too."
Kanglan smiled and then continued the previous topic: "Yi Dong, Xiaoge, and Xiao Island, what have you been up to lately?"
Yi Dong, with a dark face as if he were glaring at someone, said: "Running errands, taking care of a child."
Ji Xiaoge, who had finally had enough laughter, raised her hand weakly: "Stalking~"
With a stoic face, Ji Xiaodao demonstrated his beautiful knife skills while peeling an apple for his sister: "Enjoying the scenery."
[System notification: Three-Good Youth Mo Tan has invited ’Double Leaf’ to join the group chat]
Everyone was stunned...
[Group Chat Assistant: The ’Double Leaf’ account was created less than thirty days ago, please be cautious, users.]
Mo Tan’s finger, tapping on the table, suddenly stiffened because he hadn’t invited anyone to join the group chat.
[System notification: Double Leaf has joined the group video]
Half a second later, a dark figure appeared on screen...
"Yo! Hi everyone!"
