Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 437 Newcomers of Group Two
In the office, after Aunt Wang finished speaking, Mo Han sighed after a long pause and said, "I understand, Aunt Wang. I'm sorry for asking so many inappropriate questions... It's my honor to contribute to China..."

"No, there's no such saying, that's nonsense!"

Aunt Wang, unusually, interrupted others to comfort Mo Han, saying, "There's no such thing as inappropriate or not inappropriate. Our project team doesn't care about that. Besides, this is a project centered around a game, and most of the team members are young people. You're still in college, so don't think too much about it. Just say what you think!"

"Thank you, Aunt Wang..."

"Oh, it's nothing, why be so polite! Well, they've finished some things today, and some of them have a day off tomorrow, so let's go out for dinner tonight as a welcome-back dinner," Aunt Wang said, walking over to Mo Han and patting her on the shoulder, trying to build rapport. "By the way, you might even know some of the people in our project's second and third groups! The second group consists of the managers from Chang'an Sheyi, including Wang Xun, Wang Ergou, Zhao Qing, Jie Ran, and Song Zechuan! The third group is mostly in Lao Tian's Sheyi area, led by Professor Wang... you know, Wang Qiqing the Rabbit, and two others who should be quite famous in your game, [Laboratory Ma Lou] and [Scapegoat Palace Giant]!"

Mo Han was both surprised and delighted: "Wow! They're all familiar faces! I didn't expect they were all from the project team!?"

Aunt Wang smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling: "Hehehe, you didn't even notice? Looks like their disguise was pretty successful! I'll have Chef Ge from the cafeteria give them extra chicken legs later!"

As Aunt Wang continued to talk about the "acquaintances" in the project team, Mo Han's tension completely dissipated. She even excitedly told Aunt Wang some everyday anecdotes, such as how everyone had actually guessed that Wang Ergou had been recruited, and how she had long recognized that Uncle Tian with his thick eyebrows and big eyes was a member of the national team. Even Professor Duan joined the conversation with a smile, asking if he could still play games at his age. He felt that he was still vigorous and that he was in his prime at around forty years old.

The group chatted and laughed as they signed the agreement. Professor Duan had to rush back to B University to teach in the afternoon, so he left after signing the agreement. Aunt Wang then warmly led Mo Han to the "workroom" of the second project team: a large room with a large round conference table, and several game pods were haphazardly placed in the back space.

Somewhat ridiculously, the room was even filled with the smell of spicy hot pot...

Aunt Wang, who had just pushed open the door, turned pale and shouted in a loud voice, "Who's eating here again?! Step forward!"

"Hehehe, Aunt Wang, calm down!"

Wang Ergou, whose mouth appeared to have a suspicious red chili pepper stain, trotted over with a fawning smile and said, "We didn't go down for lunch because we were playing a game, so we ordered takeout. It's only once or twice! We don't eat it every day!"

"This stuff is unhealthy! Besides, it's not just once or twice. Every time I come, I see you guys eating takeout in your room. It's not just once or twice, it's every single day!" Aunt Wang wasn't really angry, but she was just a little exasperated by Wang Ergou and the others' habit of playing games day and night and not eating on time. She grumbled, "Besides, you're not far from the cafeteria. Chef Ge is the chef our project team hired! If you want something to eat, you can just tell Chef Ge and he'll make it for you! Always going hungry like this isn't good for your health!"

"Okay, okay! We'll try our best to eat on time, we've just been a little busy lately! Just a little bit!"

As Wang Ergou spoke, he squinted and gestured with his fingertip.

After gesturing, before Aunt Wang could respond, he quickly changed the subject: "Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, I think this girl is quite pretty. Could she be a new member brought to our group two?"

"Watch your words, Wang Xun, you rabbit!"

Hearing Wang Ergou's glib and unrestrained manner, Aunt Wang glared at him before introducing him: "This is Little Mo Rabbit. You should know her in the game. She is the famous leader of the Righteous Spirit Forever Society, [Nietzsche]!"

"Holy shit!" "Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!"

Song Zechuan, who was squatting behind a chair, engrossed in eating spicy hot pot in an attempt to destroy the evidence, also heard Aunt Wang's introduction and then peeked out in shock to look at Mo Han.

"You must be Nietzsche! I've heard so much about you! I've heard so much about you!"

Wang Ergou strained his eyes, which were as wide as Li Ronghao's, and enthusiastically extended both hands to shake hands with Mo Han.

Although Mo Han had chatted with Wang Ergou online many times and even collaborated with him a few times, this first meeting in real life still made her feel a little awkward. She could only manage a weak smile and say, "Hehehe..."

"Little Mo Rabbit, this is Wang Xun, Wang Ergou. And that guy over there hiding and secretly eating spicy hot pot, thinking I don't know, is Song Zechuan, the Jade Emperor!"

Song Zechuan peeked out, first nodding to Mo Han as Aunt Wang said, as if to say hello, then protested indignantly, "Hey, Aunt Wang! I'm just eating some spicy hot pot! Why are you making me feel so ashamed!"

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and ignored Song Zechuan—clearly, she was very familiar with several of them and had a very good relationship with them.

"And the one lying in the game pod, that's Zhao Qing. Her game ID should be [Pig Charges Forward]. Alone... wait, right, where's Alone?"

Aunt Wang was introducing the place when she searched for a long time but couldn't find the lone figure. She looked at Wang Ergou with a puzzled expression.

Wang Ergou said, "He went back to his dorm to sleep. He's been up for two days. The Emperor just took over his shift. Judging by the time, he should be waking up soon. He'll definitely come over when he wakes up! I'll introduce him to Nietzsche then!"

Aunt Wang trusted Wang Ergou and said, "Alright, I'll leave the task of receiving Little Mo Rabbit to you! She'll be a new member of your second group from now on! But she'll be in charge of the work at the Righteous Spirit Endures Society, which isn't really related to your Chang'an Society, so don't bully her!"

Wang Ergou immediately patted his chest and said, "Aunt Wang, don't worry! I guarantee I'll make sure she experiences the warmth of a spring breeze!"

"Okay, then you can give Little Mo Rabbit a brief overview of our base. I have a meeting to attend in a bit, so I really can't get away. Oh, by the way,"

Aunt Wang paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and instructed, "Tonight, a few of us are having a welcome dinner for Little Mo Rabbit. Group Three has booked a table at Hongbinlou Restaurant. You can all go together later. I'll let everyone know the time in the group chat again! Don't forget while playing games!"
