With just a little encouragement, you can pull off the amazing skill of Sichuan opera face-changing. You truly live up to your reputation, you foul-mouthed brat. But what's there to reminisce about? I just took Seven's advice and went back to my room to sleep. However, I couldn't fall asleep later, so I hugged a pillow and tried to hypnotize myself, finally drifting off after a long while.
Line 8.
Dear gods above, please believe me, I did not do it on purpose.
Mo Mo suddenly felt a movement on his right hand. [Oh no, I'm doomed. I'm outta here. I declare everything that happened here has nothing to do with me. Alright, I'm outta here. Goodbye.] [You!]
You can never stop someone who's deliberately betraying their teammates. *Hmm...* With a soft moan, Xilin slowly opened her eyes, released Mo Mo's hand, and sat up, her long purple hair cascading down. "Mo Mo?" Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Xilin tentatively asked. ...Mo Mo was silent for a moment, then coughed lightly twice. "Xilin, I think we should have an open and honest talk now, for example..."
Just as Mo Mo was racking his brains trying to come up with an explanation, Xilin wasn't listening carefully. Instead, she was looking around the unfamiliar room. "Mo Mo, is this your room?" Although she hadn't seen Mo Mo's room before, Xilin felt a sense of familiarity with the similar decor. "Ah? Yes, that's right, that's right." Seeing that Xilin wasn't going to "go berserk," Mo Mo's panic gradually subsided. "Seven's method was very effective; we're home now. I didn't expect that seemingly unreliable method to be so effective." "Home..." Xilin repeated the word, her eyes shining. "Is this your world, Mo Mo? Not an illusion, but a real world?" "Yes, this is a peaceful world without any evil spirits," Mo Mo said with a smile.
Although it's ordinary, isn't this a blessing in itself? "A peaceful world without any trouble!" The light in Xilin's eyes grew even brighter. That means she could finally live the peaceful and happy life she'd always dreamed of! "Great!" "Pfft!" Mo Mo felt a sharp thud in his chest. "Before that..." Mo Mo forced a smile. "Let's get up first." Fortunately, Xilin's attention seemed completely absorbed by the world-traveling thing; otherwise, who knows what might have happened. Gently pushing the suddenly excited Xilin away, Mo Mo rubbed his chest, got out of bed, and opened the door. A piece of paper tucked in the door crack fluttered down. Bending down to pick it up, he saw a short sentence written in unfamiliar handwriting: "Miss Long and I will be leaving for a day. Please don't worry, Master and Miss Xilin. Your honest servant, Nefert Seven."

2. A case has occurred! The Mo family actually...
Xilin also tiptoed off the bed, walked slowly behind Mo Mo, and leaned against Mo Mo to glance at the note.
"Mmm...okay, I don't quite understand. Mo Mo, it says 'above' here." Xilin asked. "It was left by Brother Seven. He said he took Bella out and probably won't be back today, so we don't need to prepare dinner for them." Mo Mo explained, but sensed something was off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it. "Not...not coming back today?" Xilin asked cautiously. "Yeah, then it'll just be the two of us today." Mo Mo nodded. That way, they could prepare less food...Mo Mo, already preoccupied with the daily necessities, didn't notice that Xilin's head was drooping lower and lower, the blush in her hair particularly noticeable. What does it mean to only have two people left? It means a world for two! "Don't forget, I'm here too." Just as Xilin was immersed in her little fantasy, a very incongruous voice rang out. In an instant, Xilin's slightly shy and expectant expression collapsed. Oh right, she forgot there was another guy there. This damn third wheel! "Why do I remember you? You can't eat, so remember to play some music to liven things up." Mo Mo replied indifferently. "Hey, you know how to enjoy yourself. Okay, do you want to hear 'Sorrow, Sorrow' or 'The White-Haired Girl'?" The system quickly retorted sarcastically, "Come on, I'll play you a bit now. If you like it, give me a thumbs up. Cough cough, holding a cornbread in my hand~ There's not a drop of oil in the dish~" "Alright, you've lost your appetite." "Mo Mo patted his waist in annoyance. "Pah, do you really think I'm some kind of automatic karaoke machine? I'm just keeping a close eye on you so you don't do anything that alienates you from the people." The system chuckled. "Little girl, don't be afraid. I'll protect you if this beast goes berserk." Xilin twitched her lips, unsure how to respond. But she also wanted to imitate Mo Mo and slap him a couple of times. "Just shut up. Can't you say something nice?" Mo Mo crumpled the note in his hand and threw it into the trash can in the room. "There's a lot to do today, stop rambling. Three more people are coming to the house all at once, which is no small matter. We need to prepare properly. And we also need to think about how to explain if my elusive father suddenly comes back. Thinking about it carefully, it seems there's no way to explain the sudden appearance of such a bunch of inexplicable people. Mo Mo can only decide to give up."
"Let's take advantage of today to thoroughly clean the empty rooms in the house, then buy some daily necessities, and then..." "Mo Mo." Xi Lin suddenly tugged at Mo Mo's sleeve and pointed to the depths of the corridor.
There, a familiar door stood tightly shut. "Right, I'd completely forgotten about that!" Mo Mo clapped his hands, his eyes lighting up. It had been days since he'd had any close contact with his darlings! "Come on, Xilin, let me show you—this isn't some illusion." Mo Mo took Xilin's hand and led her towards the solemn door. Inside lay "priceless" treasures. "What's so great about them? You already have a real one..." The system's voice sounded smug. Correction, it's two. Mo Mo flipped his hand, pulling out a pistol from somewhere, and said rather smugly. Then, the pistol disappeared somewhere. "But that doesn't diminish the value of what's inside." Mo Mo placed his hand on the doorknob. "Watch closely!" *Click* With a gentle push, the door opened. "See that? This is me... Huh? Huh!!!" Mo Mo, who had his back to her, saw the sudden look of astonishment on Xi Lin's face after opening the door, and turned around as well. His pupils instantly contracted. The wall, which had been filled with various belts, was now completely empty, not even a single accessory remained, just a bare wall. "I, I..." Mo Mo's body trembled, stammering out monotonous syllables. The next second, a scream echoed throughout the entire floor.
"Gone, the belt, gone..." Mo Mo, now ashen-white, huddled in a corner, muttering to himself, a dark aura of lifelessness emanating from him—a wisp of white smoke drifted from his mouth, swaying slightly. He had already searched the entire room, almost smashing through the floorboards in his transformation to check. But he still found nothing. Mo Mo was petrified, as if he had been given several debuffs. "Mo Mo..." Xilin reached out, but withdrew her hand after touching the black aura. It was the first time she had seen Mo Mo like this. "Wait, wait, cheer up, don't act like you're going to die, you still have me." The system's voice called out again, 'Instead of wasting time being so withdrawn, you should think about what happened.'
Hearing the system's words, a glimmer of clarity returned to Mo Mo's eyes. "How would I know?" he answered decisively, cutting off all clues. Everything seemed to have vanished into thin air. "Hiss, could it be a thief? But that doesn't make sense. What thief wouldn't take these things, especially not packing bags?" The system fell silent, seemingly deep in thought. After a long while, it spoke again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, I can't help with this matter."
"Wait, hey, hey! Why are you hitting me? Are you taking it out on me? If you can't get it, you can't get it, you can just buy another one... Hey! Why are you hitting me even harder?" "Buy my ass! Those belts are either from my dad's old collection or he brought them back for me from elsewhere. They're very meaningful, you know?"
"Who knows what will happen if he finds out about this." Uh oh, utterly uglier. Mo Mo, having snapped out of his petrified state, collapsed into a puddle of mud and slumped against the wall. "Mo Mo," Xi Lin nudged Mo Mo, hesitatingly asking, "Your father..."
"It's not that he's already..." Mo Mo explained with great difficulty, "When I said he was in another world back in that world, I was actually referring to this place." "But I haven't seen him for a long time." "Still alive?" Xi Lin was taken aback. Couldn't he come back at any time? "Don't worry, I'll explain to him then." Seeing Xi Lin's unease, Mo Mo habitually reached out and ruffled her hair, comforting her, "My dad's a very nice person, don't be afraid." "Tsk." The system clicked its tongue meaningfully.
Despite the huge blow, things still needed to be done today. Dejected, he pulled Sirin out of the empty room and into the living room. "Sirin, I'm going out for a bit. Stay home and behave yourself for a while; I'll be right back," Mo Mo said, repeating lines he'd said before. Then his gaze fell on Sirin's strangely dressed Herrscher armor. He fell into deep thought. He really should go buy some clothes. "Wait a minute," Mo Mo said, leaving Sirin behind, and suddenly disappeared to the side, rummaging through drawers and cabinets. "Nothing, nothing here, nothing here either..." Mo Mo muttered to himself, then suddenly pulled something from the corner of a cabinet. 'Found it!' Since he was going to buy clothes, then... he'd have to take her measurements. "Come on, Sirin, stand still." Mo Mo stood up, a smile on his face, and walked over to the still bewildered Sirin, extending his hand. "Let me see if your speech is healthy or not."

3. "Kind Neighbors," usually encountered by bosses.
...Amidst the occasional ambiguous sounds from Xilin, Mo Mo kept moving around her. "Relax a little, don't be so stiff, stand up straighter, yes, yes, that's it." After a flurry of activity and the system's cold observation, Mo Mo finally figured out Xilin's measurements. Putting away the measuring tape, Mo Mo clapped his hands.
"I'm off now. While I'm gone, Sirin, why don't you play some games to pass the time?" Despite the burning sensation on her cheeks, Sirin's heart leaped into her throat. Here it comes! But this time, Mo Mo didn't pull out a game console from the corner. Instead, he dragged Sirin to a corner of the living room. There sat something Sirin wasn't very familiar with. "This thing, we call it a computer. Of course, it's not for high-end research, but it's more than enough for playing games." Mo Mo explained as he turned on the computer and clicked on a software icon. "This game is very simple." After giving Sirin a brief explanation of the controls, Mo Mo helped her sit down and said softly, "Then I'm off."
"Be careful on the way." After hesitating for a moment, Xilin waved to Mo Mo, who had walked to the entrance. As soon as the door closed, she turned her gaze to the character selection screen, which had already begun its countdown. With a slight shift of her gaze, Xilin saw him in just a moment.
His melancholic eyes seemed to tell a story, his arrogant posture, the long sword gripped tightly in his hand—all exuding a proud and aloof self-esteem and a vengeful spirit. Without the slightest hesitation, Sirin clumsily turned the mouse and clicked on him. A magnetic voice followed: "Death is like the wind, always by my side. Fifty minutes later~" Sirin stared at the large word "Failure" that appeared before her, lost in thought. "This game seems pretty fun, but why did it end so easily? Is it some kind of special ability? Oh well, maybe I should try another round." Just as Sirin was about to regroup and start again, a notification popped up on the right side of the game screen: "Your friend 'I'm Like an Emperor' invites you to join a match (ranked)."
Although Celine didn't quite understand what "V or x" meant, she paused for a moment, then moved the mouse to the "V" and clicked it.
Mo Mo, carrying several bags, walked briskly home, feeling quite cheerful. Although a knot still lingered in her heart, every time she saw the familiar, peaceful scenery around her, Mo Mo couldn't help but feel waves of happiness welling up inside her. [Is this your world? It's so peaceful.] [Of course.] After experiencing those turbulent times, this hard-won peace is all the more precious. Indeed, this is the peaceful life that Mo Mo longed for. Peace is the best! "Oh, isn't this Little Mo? Back from grocery shopping?" At this moment, a kind-looking old man on a roadside bench waved to Mo Mo, holding a lazy cat in his arms. "Yes, yes, good afternoon, sir." Mo Mo nodded, walked over, and patted the cat's head. "Mick seems to have gotten fatter again." "Nya~" Seemingly retorting to Mo Mo's words, the cat named Mick disdainfully pushed Mo Mo's hand away. "Haha, Mick doesn't really like people saying that about him." The old man chuckled, patting the cat's back a few times to soothe it. "What a dishonest cat... Well, I'll be going now, sir." Mo Mo nodded to the old man. "Go ahead, go ahead." The old man waved goodbye to Mo Mo, then sighed and remarked, "Youth is truly wonderful." [It seems Mo Mo has quite a few friends.] The system chimed in. [Of course, someone as refined and easygoing as me has a good relationship with my neighbors.] Mo Mo looked a little smug. "Hey, isn't this Little Mo?" A man wearing a hat and round-framed glasses suddenly peeked out from a shop window. "Perfect timing!"
"Come on, come on, try my newly developed specialty coffee!" "No, no, I'm in a hurry to get home and cook. Maybe next time, boss. I'll come again when I have the chance." Faced with the man's enthusiasm, Mo Mo's smile froze, and she quickly declined. "Oh, that's a pity." The man shook his head regretfully, sighed, and muttered to himself, "Boss, I'm quite confident in my specialty coffee..." Without replying, Mo Mo quickened her pace and passed the coffee shop. [What's wrong, Mo Mo? Not taking advantage of a freebie? Is their coffee really that bad?] [It's not a matter of whether it's good or bad; it's just that the taste is very unique, and most people can't accept it... Do you understand what I mean?]
The system couldn't understand at all. He quickened his pace, and soon the apartment building was almost upon him. Just as Mo Mo, carrying his package, approached the elevator, he bumped into a middle-aged man in a suit. "Oops, tsk tsk tsk." The middle-aged man stepped back, rubbing his chest, and said after recognizing Mo Mo, "Oh? Isn't this Xiao Mo?" "Good afternoon, Uncle Tan. Sorry I didn't see you earlier..." Mo Mo quickly apologized, then asked, "Are you going to work? Ah, there's new progress in game development, so I have to hurry to the company to check." The man called Uncle Tan said, "The new game will be finished soon. Xiao Mo, would you like Uncle to give you a super edition to sneak a sneak peek?" "Thank you so much, Uncle Tan." Mo Mo nodded hurriedly in thanks. Hearing it was a highly anticipated action game, he certainly wouldn't miss the chance to be a sneak peek player. "Then I'll be going now." Uncle Tan straightened his tie and quickly left. "Goodbye, Uncle Tan." Mo Mo waved to Uncle Tan's retreating figure, pressed the button, and stepped into the elevator. [What a harmonious and friendly group of neighbors! Are all people in your world this harmonious?] The system's voice sounded somewhat surprised. [I don't know about other places, but this place is quite harmonious.] Mo Mo replied. "What a peaceful world!" the system couldn't help but exclaim again. [Yes, yes.] Mo Mo echoed a few times. After reaching his floor, Mo Mo stepped out of the elevator and went straight to his front door, taking out his key from his pocket and opening the door. "I'm back." However, Xilin didn't come to greet him. After putting his shoes down, Mo Mo carried his package into the living room, where he saw Xilin in front of the computer screen with a solemn expression, her hands moving rapidly. "Uh-ah—" Then the screen went black and white.
After all, she was a complete newbie, so Mo Mo understood. Instead of confronting Xilin, Mo Mo went straight to the kitchen to prepare a meal. After a few clanging sounds, Mo Mo poured the ingredients into the hot pan and started stir-frying. "Be the one~be the on∈~°" Music started playing in Mo Mo's pocket. Taking out his phone, Mo Mo glanced at the caller ID, answered, and then tucked the phone under his shoulder without stopping his stir-frying. "Hey, Xin, what's up?"

4. "Happy Games," Miss Sirin will never be withdrawn.
Mo Mo was cooking while listening to her headphones. "Mo Mo, what are you doing right now?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. "It's Mo Mo!" Mo Mo deliberately amplified the clattering sound of the spatula. "Cooking vegetables, what are you doing?" "Cooking vegetables?" The voice on the other end of the phone paused slightly. "Then who's playing ranked games with me right now?" Mo Mo paused for a long time before finally managing to say, "My sister." "Your sister?" The person asked again, "When did you get another sister? Mmm..." After thinking for a long time, Mo Mo still chose to use the same excuse her father gave her in the fantasy world. "A relative's child. Her parents have to go on a business trip for a while, so I asked her to take care of her. What's wrong?" Although it was a casual question, Mo Mo guessed what the situation was. "What's wrong? Your sister's happy Yasuo is being used as an ATM in the mid lane. The enemy is already dancing on her corpse. Aren't you going to go check it out?" Mo Mo could also faintly hear the clattering of keyboards on the other end of the phone. "I'm cooking, I don't have time." Mo Mo decisively refused. "Could you just help her out a little? She's never played games before, so please understand." I'm already struggling to keep up with my own ads, how can I help her? Okay, okay, you go ahead with your work." Just as Mo Mo was about to hang up, a voice suddenly sounded on the other end, "Then can I come over for a meal tonight?" "Sure, of course." Mo Mo replied without hesitation, "Remember to bring your own bowls, chopsticks, and side dishes. I can give you a small stool so you can sit there and watch us."
"I'll be there in a bit, that's all, bye~"
The call was abruptly ended. Mo Mo sighed softly, noticing the pot was almost cooked, turned off the heat, put the lid on, took off his apron and set it aside, heading towards the living room. Xi Lin was still intently operating the game. As Mo Mo had expected, the screen remained black and white. Mo Mo moved a little closer and saw the conspicuous score: "B; 00,0, 0/4/0". Hmm, it seemed the happy times had begun. The ninja who specialized in throwing shurikens was now twitching on the fallen swordsman's corpse, clearly enjoying the mockery. "Ah, Mo Mo, you're here." Xi Lin glanced at the screen, then looked back at it with a troubled expression. "This game is so hard... It's not as easy as poking that thing called Pokémon." Mo Mo, Mo Mo, what are they talking about? Can you check for me? Mo Mo looked in the direction Xi Shan was pointing, and a little drama was unfolding in the chat box in the lower right corner. The monk gestured to the Lee Sin (level 6) that he had 15 seconds left before respawning. The Lee Sin then gestured to the Unforgiven (level 5) that he had 20 seconds left before respawning. The Lee Sin then gestured to the Unforgiven: Flash - - - 26 seconds. The Lee Sin gestured that the enemy had disappeared. The Lee Sin gestured that the enemy had disappeared. The Lee Sin gestured that the enemy had disappeared. A series of question marks were slammed onto the Unforgiven's desolate corpse. The Unforgiven: Yasuo. The monk: nmsl
He also extended a very sincere greeting. "Mo Mo, what does this mean?" Xilin frowned, seemingly not understanding what profound meaning was hidden in that string of characters. "Cough, Xilin, do you know? He's comforting you." Seeing Xilin's innocent and questioning expression, Mo Mo coughed lightly and replied. "Comfort?" Xilin looked puzzled. "The so-called NMS is actually an abbreviation for 'Never Mind the Scandal and Liber,' meaning never pay attention to rumors and serious injuries." Mo Mo said, making it sound like nonsense. "...Is that so?" Xilin was stunned. "Even though I dragged them down, they not only didn't hate me but even encouraged me...So everyone is so friendly?" "Yeah, they're so friendly, 05 sob, I'm moved to tears, what about you guys?" The system also chimed in at this moment. "[Shut up!]" Mo Mo cursed in his mind. "Then what should I do... I can't beat them..." *Ahem*, at this moment, one should... "Mo Mo bent down and typed out the 12 letters with great familiarity.
"Then... Mo Mo moved the mouse again, putting an 'X' next to each teammate's avatar, 'blocking them out. Focus on repaying your teammates' kindness with your own efforts and strive to reap the fruits of victory. Xilin, do you understand?' 'Hmm.' Xilin nodded, seemingly understanding, unsure how much she had grasped from Mo Mo's instruction. 'But to end the battle sooner and eat earlier, leave the rest to me.' Mo Mo lifted Xilin from the chair, sat down himself, rolled up his sleeves, and rubbed his hands together. 'Let me demonstrate for you. It's time to show your true skills!' Mo Mo straightened his back. Twenty minutes later"
"fail."
With a heavy female voice, the two large characters reappeared on the computer screen, and the score was forever frozen at 2/10/1.
"Pfft, is this what you call real strength? You have the nerve to laugh." "I... what could I do? It's all because the other side was targeting me too much. Yeah, that's it, otherwise I definitely could have carried." Mo Mo nodded, forcing a smile.
By the time he took over, it was already too late to salvage the situation. "Let's put the game aside for now." Mo Mo decisively closed the laptop, ignoring the pages filled with red (indicating high win rates), and said to the slightly uneasy Xilin, "I bought quite a lot of things this time!" *Bang!* All the bags and packages were slammed onto the living room sofa by Mo Mo. "Jiang Jiang!" Mo Mo proudly puffed out his chest. "Come on, let's open it and take a look." Xilin glanced at Mo Mo inexplicably, then pulled out a miniature version of the Void Spear and cut open the box. Although no golden light emanated from the box, an unusual gleam shone in Xilin's golden eyes. "This...this is..." "Since I'm not entirely sure what kind of clothes you like, Sirin, I can only buy them according to my own aesthetic sense, but there shouldn't be any problems." "So why are you so skilled at buying women's clothing?" [I told you to shut up! Does buying things have a difference between being skilled and unskilled?] "Hurry up and try it on to see if it fits!" Mo Mo smiled slightly and gave a thumbs up. Sirin nodded, and her Herrscher set instantly shone brightly.
Mo Mo closed his eyes, grabbed the unresponsive Xilin, and threw her, along with the box in her hand, into the bathroom. He slammed the door shut. Then he opened it a crack and tossed two more boxes in. Dangerous, so very dangerous. Mo Mo wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and exhaled. This kind of one-click cast-off was truly heart-pounding. "By the way, Mo-zai..." "What?" "By the way, did you buy her underwear just now?"
"Oh~ Don't question me!"

5. Nice to meet you, my name is Di Xin.
"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph." Humming an unknown tune, Xilin paced restlessly around the kitchen. "Hey, Mo Mo, do I look good in this outfit?" Xilin pinched the corner of her dress and twirled in front of Mo Mo, the pure white floral dress blooming like an innocent flower in the cramped space. "Mmm, beautiful, beautiful, super cute." Mo Mo reached out and ruffled Xilin's hair. On average, she would ask about three or four different outfits, even though they were all really pleasing to the eye. "Xilin looks good in anything, as long as you like it." Hehe. "Cilin closed her eyes, giggled a few times, and lowered her head slightly, letting Mo Mo fondle and caress her. 'I like anything Mo Mo gives me!' 'That's good. I'll buy more later, no...' Mo Mo gently tapped Xilin's forehead and said softly, 'Go wash up, it's time to eat. Okay, okay.' Xilin readily agreed, pulled down her skirt, and carefully walked out of the kitchen. Watching Xilin's departing figure, Mo Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of melting. 'That's so nice...' Mo Mo put on gloves, carried the whole pot to the dining table, and couldn't help but sigh."
Life feels more vibrant now. "I'm about to collapse..." At the same time, the system's weak voice rang out. "What's wrong?" Mo Mo took off his gloves and apron. "Out of power?" I'm about to be driven crazy... "I don't know what you're talking about..." Mo Mo shook his head, puzzled, and glanced at the clock. In that case, that guy should be arriving soon... I wonder if cooking a pot of saka will be enough for him tonight. Recalling his friend's astonishing appetite, Mo Mo sighed. "I hate people like you who have no self-awareness." The system's tone was clearly tinged with emotion. "Pah, I'm jealous." You're jealous my foot! I'm telling you, I have a guest coming later, so don't make a sound." Mo Mo patiently instructed. "I know, when have I ever messed up?" The system immediately let out a disdainful hiss. "I want to see what kind of monster your friend is."
“He’s my classmate.” Ding-dong— Mo Mo was about to explain further when the doorbell rang. “It must be him. Remember to be quiet.” With a final pat on his waist, Mo Mo wiped his hands and walked towards the entrance.
"Yahoo~ I'm here again with my double Nie!" Before the figure arrived, the voice preceded it. The moment the door opened, a figure squeezed in through the crack, tossed his slippers into the entryway, and entered the house quite naturally.
"Long time no see, Mo Mo." "I just saw you two days ago..." Mo Mo's eyes darted around. If what Seven said was true, then she should have been away from this family for three years, but only one night had passed. It was both fortunate and perplexing. "And, it's Mo Mo! A day apart feels like three autumns, right?" The person walked past Mo Mo casually, skipping into the living room. She bumped into Xilin, who was coming out of the bathroom.
The man was slightly taken aback when he saw Xilin, but after looking her up and down, he smiled kindly. "You must be Mo Mo's cousin. What a lovely young lady. Nice to meet you. My name is Di Xin, feel free to call me whatever you like..." Xilin looked at the stranger warily. Her long, black hair, reaching her waist, was tied into a braid and cascaded down her back. An oversized white T-shirt, completely disproportionate to her figure, was the only garment she wore, on which were written four large characters in flamboyant handwriting: "I am a macho man." A peculiar bracelet adorned her smooth right wrist. Of course, Xilin didn't recognize the characters, but she was quite curious about how someone could wear only one garment and expose both legs. Moreover, her delicate face and seemingly close relationship with Mo Mo were intriguing.
A sense of unease rose in Xilin's heart, and her gaze towards Di Xin became more hostile. Although the path ahead was unfortunately flat, she wasn't actually that much ahead, so it wasn't an advantage. "Sorry, this child is a bit shy." As soon as Mo Mo stepped in to defuse the situation, Xilin shrank behind him, peeking out with her little head and looking at Di Xin with considerable hostility.
"It's okay." Di Xin waved his hand generously. "So cute... It reminded me of a pet I used to have. By the way, when is dinner?" "Now." Mo Mo rolled her eyes at Di Xin. "Don't you have any self-awareness about mooching a meal at someone else's house?" "Don't be like that. Tell me, we're family, right, Mo Mo?"... Mo Mo gave up trying to correct him. "Alright, dinner's ready. Finish eating and then quickly slip away." "Okay~" Di Xin replied in a drawn-out tone, skillfully reaching for the table and taking the first seat. He was clearly an expert. He pushed Xi Lin to her seat as well, handed everyone a bowl of rice, and the first dinner after returning home began. "Wow, a hodgepodge? It looks pretty good." Holding the mountain of rice in front of him, Di Xin reached for the pot with his chopsticks. "Mmm, not bad. As expected of Mo Mo, it's delicious." Mo Mo put a few bites into Xi Lin's bowl. "By the way, Di Xin, there's something I want to ask you." "What?" Di Xin asked, his cheeks puffed out, his words muffled. "All my belts are gone!" Mo Mo couldn't help but emphasize, "Are you a pig when it comes to this?" Di Xin swallowed hard, answering without thinking, "I don't know. I haven't left the house for the past two days. Don't bother looking for me, it's useless." "I knew you couldn't count on me..." Mo Mo sighed, dismissing the idea of trying anything, and continued, "Then I'll think of another way... By the way, when are you going to pay your rent? You're several months behind." "Oh, time flies." Di Xin nodded, "But I haven't been out much lately. Maybe I'll go out for a walk later and see if I can find any money. My source of income has been cut off recently, and I'm quite distressed." "Never mind, never mind." Mo Mo waved his hand. "Let's talk about it when you have more money. Just hearing you talk about it makes me feel sorry for you." "Don't rub salt in the wound..." Di Xin, his previous ease gone, sighed deeply, as if trying to express all the sorrows of the world. Xi Shan would occasionally look up, watching the two of them sighing back and forth. After the entire pot was empty, down to the last drop of broth, Di Xin patted his stomach, leaned back in his chair, and burped. "Hmm, not bad, about 0% full." "Go away, hurry up and leave. You never wash the dishes when you freeload, next time there won't be any food for you!" "Okay, then I won't 'bother' you anymore." Di Xin was patted by Mo Mo and stood up unsteadily. "Then I'll slip away first. I should be able to pay you the rent tomorrow. And that cute little sister, see you later, bye~" Xi Lin only glanced at him twice and didn't give any response. After Mo Mo saw Di Xin off at the door, a leisurely sound drifted in from outside. "I'll come again tomorrow!"
"Guna!"

6. Gifts; Miss Celine will not dislike learning.
As darkness enveloped the entire night sky, only scattered lights dotted the dimness of the neighborhood, their glow illuminating the otherwise deserted paths. "Well, there's one," a figure in an ill-fitting T-shirt walked alone along the deserted path, her slender arms struggling to drag a suitcase that seemed quite heavy to her. "Phew," Di Xin stopped to catch her breath. "This should be enough, I don't believe this isn't enough to pay the rent. The people in this world are so friendly; just a casual stroll and someone will offer you money." Wiping her forehead, which wasn't sweaty, Di Xin noticed another solitary figure at the end of the path. A long, pure black trench coat almost completely concealed her figure in the darkness, but her tall frame still exuded a powerful presence; even just her back view seemed to radiate a sense of weariness. She appeared to be gazing blankly at the skyscrapers before her. A wisp of smoke rose faintly in front of him. "Oh my, oh my," Di Xin immediately picked up his briefcase and walked towards the man. "Isn't this Uncle Mo? It's been a long time." The man slowly turned around, casually took the cigarette from his lips, exhaled a smoke ring, and looked down at the approaching Di Xin with a slightly weary expression. If Xi Lin were present, she would recognize him as the man she had seen in the illusion. The elusive father Mo Mo had mentioned. "Being called 'uncle' by you..." the man said slowly, "is going to shorten my lifespan. I might even die on the spot." "Oh? Are you implying something?" Di Xin raised an eyebrow, a hint of danger lurking in his friendly smile. "No, not implying anything." The man brought the cigarette to his lips and took another puff. It was a blatant hint: "You old geezer, what's wrong? Why aren't you getting out of this world? Aren't you afraid those people will come after you?"... Di Xin's brows twitched violently, but he managed to suppress his increasingly sinister smile. Hadn't Uncle Mo's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tendencies been overcome yet? Against someone who couldn't even kill a chicken... Oh right, she's a high school girl now. The man gave Di Xin a wary look but didn't reply, continuing to look up at a window lit up on the high-rise. "Aren't you going up to see her? You haven't seen each other in a long time, have you?" Di Xin initiated the conversation. "Your son has brought you a wife, he must be eager to introduce her to you." "No need, I've already met her." The man's gaze didn't waver at all. "Besides, Mo Mo... misses you." "Of course I know, I just saw him a while ago. This kid really has no sense of propriety..." the man sighed, then immediately changed his tune, "Why are you, an outsider, so concerned about our family's private affairs?" "Mo Mo is my friend," Di Xin replied decisively, arms crossed. "Sorry, I just like to meddle in other people's business." "So, the negotiations failed?" The man shook his head, took a deep drag, and stomped out the remaining cigarette butt with his foot. "There's really no way..."
The man sighed and pulled out a specially designed prop from somewhere, placing it in front of his waist.
"OvEr the evolution!" This time, let's use this one. The man shook two bottles that had appeared in his hands seemingly out of nowhere. "Cobra, Rider System. Revolution! Are you ready?"
"Henshin. 'Black hole! Black hole! Black hole!' Fuhahahahaha..." Wait, is that not the green one this time? Di Xin looked thoughtfully at the tall white figure before him, but quickly shook his head dismissively. "Although I've already done the Sakago exercise, I haven't stretched my muscles in a long time." He casually tossed the heavy suitcase aside, raised an eyebrow, and provocatively beckoned to the white knight. "Come on~"
"Hmph hmph hmph~" Mo Mo hummed a tune as he stood in front of the sink, washing the dishes. He occasionally glanced up at the pitch-black night sky outside the window. "So you're in such a good mood even washing dishes?" "Without worrying about fighting and killing, how could I not be in a good mood?" Mo Mo replied absentmindedly. "Ah~ peace is the best." "So you're planning to keep going like this forever?"... Mo Mo's hands paused, but he quickly resumed washing as if nothing had happened. "I knew it, it would be strange if you could stay still. You yearn for peace yet always stir up trouble..." The system sighed, "Anyway, you'll be leaving again soon." "What's wrong?" Mo Mo asked, puzzled.
"Let's talk about this in detail when the lackeys get back. For now, let you have a couple of peaceful days." After saying this evasively, his attitude vanished.
"They all sound like they're squeezing their teeth," Mo Mo complained, putting the last washed dish aside. "Finally done. The only downside is that I guess I'll have to start my housework career again." Stretching, Mo Mo walked out of the kitchen. Xilin was still engrossed in her game, happily getting crushed, even against the AI. Soon, Xilin ended her crushing spree again, shoving the keyboard aside, her cheeks puffed out, clearly not in a good mood. "Xilin, stop playing games," Mo Mo whispered in Xilin's ear, startling her. "I've prepared another gift for you, oh, now's the time to give it to you." "A gift?" Xilin covered her reddened ear, her gloomy mood instantly reversed, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned upwards. [Hehe, I can't wait to see her expression when she sees your 'gift'.] Mo Mo picked up a bag from the living room table, opened it, and, to Xi Lin's expectant gaze, took out a stack of books. Xi Lin's expectant smile instantly vanished. "Basic Chinese Language Introduction: Pinyin," "Elementary School Arithmetic," "Learn English from Zero," "One Hundred Ways to Cultivate Moral Character," and so on—a heavy stack of books slammed onto the table, striking Xi Lin's heart hard. [So this is what the so-called gift refers to!] Although she didn't quite understand them, Xi Lin felt an instinctive aversion. "Xi Lin, your main task is to study hard. I'll supervise you." Mo Mo pulled out two books and waved them in front of Xi Lin's still dazed eyes.
"I...I don't want to study!" Sirin quickly retorted, "I already learned a lot of knowledge on the moon, I don't need this kind of superfluous stuff!"
“Really.” Celine nodded repeatedly. “Then can I ask you a few questions? If you can answer them, it means you don’t need these things anymore.”
"Don't be late, listen carefully, I'm about to start asking questions, ahem." Mo Mo coughed lightly and held up one finger. "Please tell me, under what circumstances does '--add one' apply?"
Ten minutes later. "Ugh, ugh, ugh," Xilin kept counting on her fingers, her eyes practically spinning like mosquito coils. "Right equals three, wrong equals two, wrong, wrong... just one monkey..." Looking at the dizzy Xilin, Mo Mo nodded in satisfaction. [Aren't you being a little too much of a tease?] [Too much? I'm just urging her to study hard; she should thank me.] "Now you know, a bet's a bet. Get back to studying, Xilin. You can ask me anything you don't understand." Mo Mo ruffled Xilin's hair, adding another dose of drastic measure. "Otherwise, you're only allowed one hour of gaming a day!"

7. Evening whispers: Miss Celine isn't afraid of the dark.
Just as Xilin was overwhelmed by the books and notebooks piled up on the table in front of her, Mo Mo finally appeared and took them all away, claiming, "We'll continue tomorrow." Xilin's face paled even more in shock. Suddenly, she felt something discordant had been stirred up in her otherwise wonderful life. Before she could even mourn for herself, Mo Mo pulled Xilin into the bathroom.
The system meticulously explained how to use every single device inside to Xilin, leaving her stunned. "After all, times have changed..." Looking at this scene, the system couldn't help but sigh.
After making sure he had taught her everything step by step, Mo Mo left Xilin alone in the bathroom, letting her drift in and out of it. "She should be alright..." Mo Mo, still feeling a lingering worry, carried a whole set of brand-new sheets and blankets into the empty room. Half an hour later, Xilin emerged safe and sound. Mo Mo estimated the time and finally felt relieved. Wearing her newly bought pajamas, Xilin naturally sat in Mo Mo's lap, letting him "do as he pleased." In the howling hot air, Xilin's petite body went limp, like a lifelike giant pillow against Mo Mo, motionless, only her two large purple "ears" twitching incessantly, revealing her owner's feelings completely. ...Have I raised some kind of pet? Mo Mo couldn't help but have such thoughts. "That's nice~..." The system seemed to have something to say, but wouldn't say it. After turning off the hairdryer, Mo Mo rubbed Xilin's warm hair. "It's getting late. You've played for so long today, go to sleep early..." A very low voice drifted from Mo Mo's arms. Rubbing her eyes, Xilin yawned, stood up, and swayed towards the corridor. "No, Xilin, not that way." Mo Mo quickly stepped forward, turned Xilin around, and walked a few more steps to the adjacent door. "That's my room, this is the one prepared for you."
"I haven't had time to decorate yet, but there will be plenty of time later." Mo Mo pushed open the door and ushered Xi Lin inside. "Goodnight, Xi Lin." Her movements were fluid and seamless. After turning off the living room light, Mo Mo returned to her own room. Even after "a few days," it still felt so familiar, her warm little nest. Ah, my dear bed~ I missed you so much! She threw herself onto the bed, a look of utter satisfaction on her face. Although she didn't know how long this kind of life could last, it allowed her to finally relax after all the tension of the journey, making her want to laze around. "System..."
"What the hell?... Where are we going next?" Mo Mo lay on the bed, stretching his hand out into the air. "Where we go is your decision, what does it have to do with me? It's just a matter of where you go and I'll go." The system replied dismissively, 'What's wrong, scared? No... judging from your expression, you seem quite excited.' "Excited... I guess so." Mo Mo said uncertainly, after all, it's only natural to be curious after being suddenly told that he had such an ability. "Judging from your expression, are you already prepared to continue suffering?" the system asked, but quickly changed its tune, "No, in your situation, you should be enjoying it. But you're not a complete newbie like you were at the beginning, hmm, that's something to be encouraged." "Yes... two Herrschers, plus a Judgment-class Horned Beast, that's really terrifying." "Although I should remind you around this time not to be blinded by the allure of power... I don't think you need to. You already know very well how to properly use your power, even though you always end up getting thwarted. On this point, the system has complete confidence in Mo Mo." "That last sentence is superfluous!" Mo Mo retorted, turned over, closed his eyes, "Alright, that's enough, time to sleep." "Aren't you going to say goodnight to me?" Before he could even speak, he was interrupted. "Knock, knock, knock."
“Okay, it seems it’s not time to say goodnight yet.” Mo Mo rolled out of bed. At this time, the only person who could knock on the door was Xilin. “Xilin, what’s wrong?” Xilin hugged her pillow, standing timidly at the door, her eyes darting around.
"Mosquitoes." Xilin's voice was weak but firm. "A lot!" "A lot?" Mo Mo stammered. "I forgot to close the window when I was tidying up...that was a real blunder." "Wait a minute, I'll go help you take care of it—" Mo Mo's hand was pulled. "The blanket over there is too thick," Xilin continued, "It's hot. How could there be so many leaks? No, that's not right." After a moment's thought, she realized the problem. "Oh~ I understand." Mo Mo suddenly understood.
"So what if you're afraid of the dark and don't dare to sleep alone? What's there to be embarrassed about?" Mo Mo patted Xi Lin's head, seeing her bewildered expression. "Sorry, I didn't think it through. It's normal to be still reeling from the shadows after just escaping that dark and hopeless life." "How about... Xi Lin, you sleep here tonight?" Mo Mo pushed open the door and said. Xi Lin nodded quickly and darted into Mo Mo's room. Hmm, it was still the same as this morning. "Then I'll just sleep on the floor... Xi Lin, what's wrong?" Mo Mo, who was turning to walk towards the wardrobe, felt her clothes being grabbed. Xi Lin hid her head behind the pillow and squeezed out a few muffled words, "Sleep together."
In silence, Xilin shook her hand, which was clutching the hem of her clothes, as if trying to convey something. "I just can't do anything with you." Mo Mo turned his head away and scratched his cheek. [Yo-ho, heh, heh-heh-heh.] A few strange laughs from the system echoed in Mo Mo's mind. Putting these mental pollutions to the back of his mind, Mo Mo realized that Xilin had already climbed onto the bed first, consciously occupying the half against the wall, and was looking at him with an ambiguous expression. In the silent gaze, Mo Mo also climbed onto the bed. The already limited space felt even more cramped with the deliberate distance. "Mo Mo." In a whisper, a slender arm reached between the two of them, "Hand, give it to me."
Their body heat flowed along their intertwined wrists. A faint smile finally appeared on Xilin's lips. "Goodnight, Mo." [You didn't even say goodnight to me!][You bastard! Don't you know how to read the mood?!] Mo Mo's eyes bulged instantly. [I'm ignoring you, going to sleep!]
Mo Mo closed his eyes in a huff and made no further moves.
Only Celine's golden eyes remained bright in the darkness. She hugged herself and rubbed her arms against her chest a couple of times before closing her eyes. "Hey, little Y, don't go to sleep yet, I have a few words to say to you." A voice entered her mind.

8. A consensus is reached: Miss Sirin's "alliance" with the system.
The faint light of dawn ushered in a new day, and when the sunlight outside the window once again shone on Mo Mo's face, he woke up. This time, the first thing he noticed was that his right hand was once again stuck in a predicament where he couldn't move. In the exact same position as yesterday, his slender arm was tightly hugged between two slightly raised mounds, creating an indescribable feeling. Having learned from experience, Mo Mo didn't panic and lose his composure as before. Instead, he calmed down a bit and carefully observed Xilin's peaceful sleeping face. Warm breath brushed against his arm, which was so close to hers, stirring the tiny downy feathers.
[Your next sentence is - -一-awsl.] [I'm dead my foot! If that's what dying is, I'd be buried long ago.] Mo Mo retorted, [By the way, you woke up pretty early today.] [Hmph.1 The system snorted coldly, without saying anything more.]
But Mo Mo wasn't as unmoved as she claimed. Although it wasn't the first time, her heart still raced uncontrollably, especially at that unfamiliar, soft touch. She worried that one day she might turn to crime. [Pfft, so you actually worry? I thought you'd already thought of a name for the child. No, given the current situation, it's definitely not going to work...]
Subconsciously ignoring the system's next nonsensical ramblings, Mo Mo tried to pull his right hand away, but remained unmoved.
Mo Mo unconsciously increased the pressure slightly. Sensing this, Xilin frowned slightly, then slowly opened her eyes a crack, glancing at Mo Mo through her hazy vision. "Xilin, good morning." Smiling very "naturally," Mo Mo waved with his free left hand. Xilin mumbled a reply, then closed her eyes again, nuzzling Mo Mo's hand, as if about to fall back asleep.
"Sleeping in bed isn't good for a child, Xilin. Don't forget you still have homework to finish today." Xilin's body trembled slightly, and she subtly reached for the blanket, as if to say, "I'm not in my right mind, I can't hear you."
However, Mo Mo stopped her. "Only good kids can play games~"... Her nonchalant expression instantly turned bitter. Struggling to open her eyes, Xilin looked pitifully at Mo Mo and muttered softly, "Mo Mo is bullying me..." "I'm doing this for your own good..." Mo Mo reached out and ruffled her already slightly messy hair into a tangled mess. "Do you want to be a tyrant for life?" "Anyway, I still have you. Hmm—" "I know." Xilin sprang up from the sheets and rolled off Mo Mo, a corner of her pajamas being lifted up. Why is there always something unsatisfactory in such a wonderful life? Xilin thought sullenly. "No need to rush, go brush your teeth and wash your face first. I'll go prepare breakfast." Mo Mo followed closely behind the yawning Xilin and pushed her into the bathroom. Holding a water glass and a toothbrush, Xilin stared blankly at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, her eyes lifeless. She wasn't recalling the hidden dream, but rather the things the system had said to her the night before.
[Hey, little Y, don't fall asleep yet, I have a few words to say to you. 1 [You are... that belt?] Before she could say it aloud, Sirin responded in her mind. [You can call me System, although it's a name this brain-dead person made up, but it doesn't matter now. ...System, what do you want to say to me?]
"You little brat." The system cut to the chase, "You're interested in Mo Zai, aren't you? Of course, I mean *that* kind of thing." Xilin pursed her lips, her golden eyes gleaming, "I..." "You can choose not to answer, because it's not important to me." Xilin's face flushed slightly. "If it's not important, then why did you ask?" "Compared to your arrogant words, I trust what I see with my own eyes more, even though you seem to have lost your arrogance now..."
Xilin didn't quite understand the system's words, but she wanted to complain a little. [You don't even look like you have eyes.] [You've been corrupted by this brat.] The system sighed. [But that's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to ask, do you want to... take your relationship with him a step further?] [Take it a step further?] Xilin blushed. A relationship more intimate than sharing a bed? There's only one left, right? Xilin awkwardly crossed her legs. [But Mo Mo...] [Do you want to? Just say it, don't beat around the bush.] [Yes.] Xilin answered without hesitation. [That's right, it's such a simple thing.] The system said casually. [I know Mo Zai very well. This kid looks honest, but he's definitely not a blockhead. Rather than being truly stupid, he's better at pretending to be stupid.] [What do you mean?] [It means that without my help, you probably have no chance.] The system confidently made its judgment. "Why?" Xilin asked. "Because..." The system's answer was followed by a strange pause, then a deep sigh. Xilin suddenly felt looked down upon. Literally. "Mo Zai, he has someone he likes~" The system's leisurely words startled Xilin, causing her to tighten her grip on her hands.
The unpleasant sound startled Xilin, who quickly loosened her grip. "My...my sweetheart? Who?" "You don't know him, why are you asking?" the system retorted.
[emmmm] After pondering for a while, Xilin asked another question, [In Mo Mo's heart, am I more important or is she more important?] [Right now, you should be more important, but...] A strange pause appeared again, [but that might not be the case in the future.] Xilin felt that she was not only looked down upon, but also belittled. Of course, in the literal sense. [What do you mean?] [If I'm not mistaken, Mo Mo will definitely go back to find her next. Yes, that's right, she's not from this world either, just like you.] The system bluntly told Xilin its speculation. To put it more bluntly, it's like... someone, "I was here first." Although she probably wouldn't say it like that, that's roughly the meaning.
[If you don't seize the time, you might end up hiding by the wall, biting your handkerchief, constantly muttering "Xi lost, Xi lost" in despair.] Imagining that scene briefly, Xilin quickened her pace. [System, what can be done? 1]
[Simple, as long as I help... It seems there's no time tonight. Little girl, listen carefully, I reckon Mo Zai will wake up soon, and then he'll be able to hear our conversation, so we'll have to wait for another opportunity. Remember, if you call me and I don't respond, it means Mo Zai isn't asleep, so don't call him anymore, understand?] Xi Lin nodded silently. The system's voice fell silent. The next moment, Mo Mo moved. Before he noticed, Xi Lin quickly closed her eyes.
In the darkness, Celine felt a few strands of hair on her forehead being brushed aside, but silence returned quickly. But tonight, it was destined to end there. The night passed without further words.
