Dividing the Spoils

“You can call me Movie King Mo from now on.”

The serious topic was instantly diverted by Mo Xiu.

The three of them stared coldly at Mo Xiu. Mo Xiu smiled and said, “Alright! The mission’s over. Let’s divide the spoils!”

At the mention of dividing the spoils, the few of them became excited. Although other than Mo Xiu, the other three didn’t lack money. However, this was their first mission, and also their first time earning money. Thus, they were somewhat excited.

Mo Xiu took out his phone and opened the Shadow software to find the mission.

He realized that the mission had become a Grade-B mission. There was another explanation below.

“There was a system error in the assessment of the mission difficulty. The current level of the mission has increased from Grade-C to Grade-B. The point rewards have increased from 2,000 points to 8,000 points, and the cash reward has increased from 800,000 yuan to four million yuan.”

Liu Ziyang shouted, “F*ck, that’s a huge increase. That’s amazing.”

Yue Yuan rubbed his chin and said, “This reward is quite fair.”

When accepting the mission, Mo Xiu was the team leader, so all the rewards were sent to Mo Xiu’s account.

Mo Xiu split the rewards evenly into four portions. Thus, each person received 2,000 points and one million yuan.

At this moment, Mu Qingyi said, “Mo Xiu, this mission was almost completed by you alone. It’s not good for us to take so much, right?”

Yue Yuan added, “That’s right. We’ve helped too little. You’ve always been the one in danger and fighting with the enemy. We can’t take so much.”

In the end, Liu Ziyang also chimed in. “That’s right, Boss. I don’t need any rewards this time. I’ll just treat it as learning from you.”

Mo Xiu glared at Liu Ziyang and said, “Then what did you learn? If you didn’t learn anything, just keep the rewards. Alright, I’m the team leader. This matter is up to me. If you guys aren’t satisfied, you can be the team leader next time.”

After Mo Xiu finished speaking, Mu Qingyi and the others did not decline and could only accept the rewards.

Mo Xiu continued, “I originally wanted to take on a few more missions, but I didn’t expect this mission to take ten days. There are only five days left before I leave school. It seems like I can’t take on any other missions.”

Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan both looked regretful. This was because both of them felt that working with Mo Xiu was very comfortable and they could indeed learn some things.

Mu Qingyi said a little sadly, “Oh, let’s leave it at that. My journey is quite far, so I might have to leave for school in a few days.”

Mo Xiu sighed. “Sigh, are you leaving already?”

“Yes, I’m leaving.”

Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan looked at each other and realized that the atmosphere wasn’t right. They wanted to slip away.

Right at this time, Mu Qingyi seemed to have intentionally changed the topic, her eyes widening as she said, “Aiya, I almost forgot something.”

Mo Xiu and the other two looked towards Mu Qingyi.

Mu Qingyi took out a bank card and handed it to Mo Xiu.

“All the money won from gambling is here.”

Mo Xiu had indeed given Mu Qingyi another mission previously, which was to bet all the money he earned from boxing on his victory. Then, she would take those winnings and bet on his victory again. Although she did not know how much money there was in the card, it was definitely not a small amount.

Mo Xiu smiled and took it. Then, he said to the three of them, “We’ll take this money…”

The three of them moved in unison and shook their heads vigorously.

Mo Xiu actually wanted to say, “Let’s split the money.” However, looking at the three of them, it was unlikely that they would accept it.

The three of them knew that they had already taken advantage of Mo Xiu for the mission reward. Furthermore, this money had nothing to do with them.

The few of them chatted for a while before heading downstairs.

Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan were very sensible. As soon as they went downstairs, they found an excuse to leave.

Mo Xiu asked, “Where’s your house? I’ll send you back.”

Mu Qingyi nodded and said, “Sure, my house is in the villa district in the east of the city.”

The villa area in the east of the city was very far from here. Mo Xiu asked, “Do you want to take a taxi back? Or do you want someone to pick you up?”

Mu Qingyi revealed a brilliant smile and said, “Let’s take a walk.”

After saying those words, Mo Xiu continued walking forward. After standing there in a daze for a second, he shook his head, smiled, and gave chase.

“Mo Xiu, I didn’t have a childhood. Can you tell me about your childhood?”

Mo Xiu thought about it and said, “Based on what I can remember, I would run in the park in the morning, read books in the library in the afternoon, and practice boxing at night. When I started going to school, I would attend classes in the morning and practice boxing at night.”

Mu Qingyi looked at Mo Xiu as if she was looking at a monster and asked, “Why was your life so hard?”

“From a young age, my mother took great pains to take care of me. At that time, my mother had no job. I could tell that she was very tired, but she always smiled at me. At that time, I swore that I would become a man to take care of my mother.”

Mu Qingyi’s gaze towards Mo Xiu changed and became gentle. She did not know what to say for a moment.

Mo Xiu didn’t say anything either. The two of them walked quietly like this, as if they had returned to the stone at the Cosmic Tuition Class.

“Let me tell you about my childhood!”

A sudden sentence broke the silence. The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

“Hahaha, didn’t you say that you didn’t have a childhood?”

Mu Qingyi covered her mouth and laughed lightly. “I feel that I had more of a childhood compared to you.”

“Alright then, tell me about it!”

“I… I’ve seen other people jumping rope when I was young. Have you played it before?”

Mo Xiu shook his head and said, “What is that?”

Mu Qingyi’s eyes shifted mischievously as she said, “It involves a witch using an incantation to activate a rubber band.”

Mo Xiu asked in confusion, “A witch? An incantation? What’s that?”

“Oh my, you’re so stupid. When a witch uses an incantation, the rubber band will move on its own.”

“An incantation? Are you talking about a skill?”

“No, it’s not like that. I remember the incantation goes something like this. The Malan Flower blooms 21, 28256, 28257,

282931

…”

Mo Xiu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Really?”

“Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha…”

Mu Qingyi laughed until she was swaying back and forth.

When Mo Xiu saw Mu Qingyi laughing like this, he immediately understood that Mu Qingyi was lying to him.

Mo Xiu looked at Mu Qingyi with a straight face and said, “To think that I, Movie King Mo, trusted you so much. You actually teased me.”

When Mu Qingyi heard Mo Xiu’s words, she laughed even more happily. She held her stomach as she squatted on the ground, almost bursting into tears.

Mo Xiu asked, “Is it that funny?”

Mu Qingyi said, “Yes, I’ve never been so happy before. Perhaps I’ve never been so relaxed before.”

Mo Xiu pretended to be innocent and said, “Alright, since you’re so happy teasing me, I’ll let you tease me every day from now on.”

Mu Qingyi stood up and walked a few steps forward. She turned around and said, “Who wants to tease you? How shameless!”

Mo Xiu chased after her and shrugged. “What if I tease you?”

Mu Qingyi stuck out her tongue and said, “That won’t do either!”

The two of them continued to walk forward. Mu Qingyi suddenly said, “Mo Xiu, if only we could continue walking and not go home.”

“Yes. I’ll walk with you.”

…

The two of them walked from dawn to sunrise, from sunrise to late in the morning, and finally reached Mu Qingyi’s house.

The two didn’t say goodbye when they parted, because they both knew that they would definitely meet again.

That night, Mo Xiu took the longest walk of his life. That night, Mo Xiu said the most words in his life.
