Quadruple split

We all know that under the personality of 'Chaotic Neutral', Mo Tan's behavior can be said to be quite casual, and the 'quite' here can almost be equated with the 'fickle' aspects of the various inherent attributes of ordinary humans. Although from a certain perspective he is definitely a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, his 'purposes' often continue to change priorities due to various reasons, and there is no so-called program or main line at all.

To put it simply, he is a pretty messed up person.

For example, at this moment, after learning about the game history and development results of Cholera Entering the Pit over the past six months, Mo Tan immediately made up his mind to postpone his original plan to go to Academy City, intending to stay in the Free City for a while longer. This decision can almost be said to have overturned a lot of the plans he had originally made, scrapped a lot of the preparations he had laid in Academy City, and directly increased the difficulty of killing Futaba several times.

But he doesn't care~

On the one hand, it's because he left a lot of leeway in the initial planning stage, and on the other hand, it's because he really doesn't care.

Even if he was directly killed by Futaba because of this, causing him to lose the bet and reveal his true name, which would trigger a series of foreseeable, very bad and even very high probability of ruining his entire life, at this moment. Mo Tan doesn't mind either.

This kind of thing that Mo Tan would never be able to do when he was under the personality of 'Absolute Neutral' or 'Lawful Good' was not a problem that needed to be considered in his eyes at the moment.

Whether rational or emotional, these things will be compressed to a level that is enough to be ignored in the face of anything that can please him.

Whether it is Mo Tan at this moment or the social terror far away in the City of Miracles, their attitudes in this regard are completely consistent. If not, the 'Black Sun' that is domineering on the Internet would not have been born.

There are many talented people in this world. Although Mo Tan and Futaba are indeed rare in the field of hackers, this does not mean that they are the only two big guys on the entire earth. The reason why Black Sun can do what others cannot , in the final analysis, it is because of their unscrupulous and weird outlook on not taking their own personal safety seriously.

Both of them are madmen. Perhaps Mo Tan is higher in terms of purity at the moment, but considering the existence of the other two personalities, they are almost the same after careful calculation.

All in all, to sum up, long story short...

Mo Tan wanted to use the research and development results of Cholera during this period to make a fortune and get some living expenses for himself.

Although there is no way in the real world with its own checks and balances, Mo Tan can only live a relatively poor life, but when Mo Tan came to the world of innocence as 'Tan Mo', he was still very concerned about the quality of life. of.

Eating must be enjoyable, so even if he is the apprentice of the big boss of Wanderer Hotel, Mo Tan dares to kill other people's birds and roast them.

To live, you have to live well, so as long as the conditions... simply put, it means that the money in your pocket allows it, Mo Tan lives in Liuli Pavilion, the signature property of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, whether it was his own equipment or the equipment of his pawns, whether it was food, clothing, housing and transportation, Mo Tan did not let Lessa, Cole, Xiao Ai and others feel even the slightest bit wronged when they followed him. This is not because of good character, but a mentality similar to 'maintaining daily necessities', just like ironing clothes or cleaning graphics cards.

This habit directly resulted in Mo Tan spending money at a speed that would shock the jaws of most players.

One thing to say is that until some time ago, he was not very short of money. After all, he had the first pot of gold provided by the necromancer Mr. Medi, plus the 650,000 gold coins he obtained from the Black Tower City Thieves Guild. , enough for any player or NPC who is not too crazy to live two lifetimes in the realm of innocence.

Of course, it is only for people who are not too crazy, and everyone knows that the fate between Mo Tan and these nine words at this stage is only limited to the last 40%, so no matter what Mr. Mei Di provided, Be it the start-up capital or the huge sum of 650,000 provided free of charge by Mr. Muse, they are completely out of reach.

Today, Mo Tan's gold coins are less than five digits. Although it is still considered a well-off level for ordinary players, it can no longer keep up with his squandering pace.

The direct evidence is that when Mo Tan stayed at Spider's house, it was not because he wanted to have close contact with her girl, but simply because he could no longer afford the accommodation fee at Liuliting.

Not only that, due to the rapid shrinkage of the amount of money he held, he who was originally at the top of the 'Comprehensive Player Strength Ranking' disappeared from that list a long time ago.

But having said that, the hundreds of thousands that have disappeared like smoke were not spent indiscriminately. In fact, after Mo Tan came to the Free City, he has invested in several projects that are more interesting to him, most of which All the money was spent in it, which was the real reason why he was almost completely poor now compared to the past.

As for the specific project content, we will talk about it later when we have the opportunity. For now, let’s go back to the current story.

That is to say, Mo Tan is planning to make a big deal at zero cost.

At this moment, Cholera, in Mo Tan's eyes, is no longer a regular fat house or a player who has made great achievements in science and engineering, but a money printing machine or coin minting machine that is so cute that it makes people want to lick it twice.

At this moment, everything about Liz's physical condition, the future of the Keyvos family, the flat girl with four eyes, and Diana's dowry were all forgotten by Mo Tan. He just wanted money.

Mo Tan, who has been poor for half a month, is now thinking only about money.

And the God of Wealth in front of him didn't look very good...

"The next best thing?"

Zhu... Cholera frowned, then began to shake his head desperately, waving his hands and saying: "No, no, brother, you don't understand. In this world, only happy water is irreplaceable, and all other messy things are all evil heretics. As the saying goes, there is no joy, no happiness, I think only by creating real happy water can we make a fortune!"

Mo Tan raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and said, "But you can't make serious happy water now."

"That's true, but..."

Cholera smacked his lips and smiled: "Brother, didn't you just say that you could provide me with a large amount of funds and materials? With this support, the development speed will definitely increase significantly!"

"I have no money."

Mo Tan just said this simply and neatly.

"Clam?"

Cholera blinked in confusion and said, "Didn't you just say..."

"Yes, I did say that I can provide you with everything you need, but this has nothing to do with my current lack of money."

Mo Tan smiled, did not try to be too pretentious, and said straightforwardly: "My idea is very simple. Just the gas-filling technique you just mentioned can make us make a lot of money, and this money is It will directly become your research and development funds. I have all the channels and means here, but the premise is that you need to temporarily shift your attention from the happy water, otherwise even if I have great ability, it will be difficult to use this creative trick to achieve half of the success. A gold coin, do you understand?"

Cholera, who only wanted to develop Coke and regarded all other drinks as cults, became a little confused.

"Whether it's an interest or a hobby, it can't be used as food."

Mo Tan whistled, patted Cholera on the shoulder and smiled: "Sometimes in order to achieve our goals, we have to make appropriate compromises."

Although Cholera is not a pure and messy scientific research boss like Lu Wei, he is a talent who can make soda in the game after all, and this kind of talent generally has a certain degree of persistence, so Mo Tan did not try to use force to coerce him again. Instead, the other party began to understand it with reason and move it with emotion.

As a person who has not yet escaped from low-level tastes, Cholera is actually not as persistent as he appears. Although he says he is firm, he still feels a bit embarrassed at the same time.

"By the way, I think you should also know about cholera..."

Mo Tan saw that the fat man in front of him was obviously a little shaken, and he followed up with a strong dose: "There are many ways to cash out the gold coins in this game. You must know how popular the Innocence Realm is now. There are no messy and deceptive services, so the money is still very valuable, do you understand what I mean?"

"Ah this..."

Although his family background is not bad, this sentence is still very lethal to Cholera who has to spend half a month to buy a figure.

He is not stupid at all. After Mo Tan just explained the potential of things like happy water in this world, he has realized that if this thing is operated properly, it will be very profitable, even if he can only take 30% profit, but that is by no means a small amount.

Even if you don't know how to do it, you will definitely make more money than tutoring others yourself, right?

If you really understand, then the Coca-Cola Company knows everything, right?

"Well!"

Raising his arm and wiping his saliva, Cholera nodded vigorously: "Go ahead, I think you can do it!"

Mo Tan showed an unsurprising smile: "Then this is settled?"

"Definitely! You can decide everything!"

Cholera gritted his teeth and said, "But I have a concern, or rather... a problem."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and smiled: "I would like to hear the details."

“How to solve the piracy problem?”

Cholera looked seriously at the seemingly very ambitious brother in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Even if there are no carbonated drinks in this world, even if we can eat this first bite of crab, as long as this thing becomes popular, those with money and wealth will The big and powerful chambers of commerce can definitely make a lot of pirated copies. As far as I know, there is no intellectual property protection bill in this world. My gas-filling skills are not valuable. As long as someone masters the idea, those thighs are much thicker than our arms. If you have too many, how can you challenge others?"

I have to say that this is indeed a real problem. After all, there are countless similar cases outside of games. Take games as an example. For example, a small studio that uses love to generate electricity spent several years to complete a game. Once it becomes popular, various major manufacturers will take away the core and start reskinning it. However, when the former is far inferior to the latter in terms of technical foundation, economic foundation, and publicity channels, it will be suppressed until it almost disappears. It can be said to be a necessity.

And this is still a real world where so-called patents and so-called property rights exist.

So what about game worlds where these constraints don’t exist?

As the saying goes, no businessman can be raped. In the world of innocence, no matter whether it is the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce and the Steam Consortium, which dominate the financial resources, or the major well-known or unknown large chambers of commerce, they have never been good men and women.

If things develop as smoothly as Mo Tan said, what will follow will inevitably be imitation, suppression, exclusion, and trampling to death.

"If there is no foundation~"

Mo Tan gave an affirmative answer without thinking, and said calmly: "The situation you just mentioned will indeed happen, and the probability is 100% without a doubt, but if I never said I would do it myself, Thing, I said I would give you 30% of the profit, but I didn’t say that I would take the remaining 70% of the profit.”

Cholera scratched his hair in confusion and said hesitantly: "What do you mean..."

"I mean it has nothing to do with you."

Mo Tan waved his hand to interrupt him and said with a smile: "At least at this stage, you just need to work hard on development. I will find a way to solve the remaining problems. If you still have concerns, we can even Sign a legally binding contract outside the game.”

Cholera was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "There is no need to sign the contract. As you said, at least at this stage, I still plan to work hard on development. When will I really get the happy water out? It’s not too late to sign a contract or anything else.”

"Very well, I like cheerful people."

Mo Tan stretched his body lazily and asked with a relaxed look on his face: "So, when can you get me the first batch of soda? If possible, I hope it will be within three days."

After hearing this, Cholera grinned and reached out from his bag to take out a large wooden box: "These are the third batch of finished products I made when I first started researching gas filling. They are based on sixteen different flavors of juice. , the taste is almost the same as carbonated drinks outside the game, but I personally only like happy water, so I haven’t touched it yet, you can just take it away.”

"Then I'm not welcome~"

Mo Tan almost grabbed the big wooden box from Cholera, and in the next second he quickly took out a bottle of light red 'soda' from it, bit open the cork and poured it into his mouth.

"Wuhu——"

Mo Tanyi, who patted his stomach twice with satisfaction and drank an entire bottle of 'soda' in just five seconds, took a deep breath. His eyes flashed with extreme joy, and he raised his eyebrows at Cholera in approval. thumb……

"belch!"
