Poseidon in Arknights

After the blue light dissipated, Muirseth was able to sense his manifold again.

"This is a great job for me!" Muirses waved the sick leave slip in his hand. "Speaking of which, Krystens, could this be classified as an exchange job?"

"Hmm, will you be back so soon after you finish work?" Krytens smiled. "You like him, don't you?"

"..." Upon hearing Krystens's words, Muirses picked at his ear in disbelief. "Wait, Krystens, what did you just say?"

"I said you like him?" Krytens calmly sipped her coffee. "Is there a problem? It can't be that I guessed wrong, right?"

"Although I haven't been paying much attention to what's going on outside lately, I've still heard about the rumors that are spreading about you throughout Rhine Life."

"I...I just didn't expect you to be able to understand it." Muirse looked at Krytens with surprise. In Muirse's memory, wasn't Krytens, this big blond, already focused on her research?

How did she come to understand her relationship with Xiyue? That doesn't make sense.

“I have a feeling you’re thinking something bad.” Krytens put down her finished coffee. “The rumors have been circulating for a while, but now it seems they weren’t just rumors.”

"You've found a good partner, haven't you?"

"Hehe, how about it? My judgment is pretty good, isn't it?" Now that things have come to this, Muirseth doesn't hide anything anymore, or rather, she never did hide anything at all, otherwise the rumor in Rhine Life wouldn't have spread so quickly.

Given Muirse's intelligence capabilities, she must have already heard about the rumors circulating within Rhine Life. So why didn't Muirse come forward to clarify them?

Of course, the rumor doesn't exist. The rumor about Rhine Life is true. So if it's true, why would Muirse go out of his way to clarify it?

“That’s something you need to think about yourself.” Krytens stood up, picked up her tablet, and said, “Have a safe trip and have fun.”

"Come back as soon as possible. I want to study those seeds. If you want to play with them for a while longer, you can have a messenger send them back."

The author plans to go out and have fun tomorrow, so I'm taking the day off and also to check out the new storyline of Arknights.

Happy Labor Day everyone! ^ω^

Chapter 209: Little Carp Gets Punished

——————Rhodes Island, Accommodation Area, Yuuki's Room——————

"Hmm..." Xi Yue sat up in bed, pinched the bridge of her nose, reached for her phone, glanced at it, and said, "Oh, it's still this late..."

Finding it was still early, not even past ten o'clock, Xiyue was just about to lie down and catch up on some sleep. Although water jumping doesn't require much effort, finding it is quite troublesome.

After all, compared to other water sources, Muirsey's manifold is in a rather awkward position, neither small enough to be directly discharged nor large enough to attract attention.

Even in Yuuki's perception, Muirseth's manifold was not particularly different from other bodies of water. Not to mention the entire city of Trimont, there were hundreds of suspicious bodies of water belonging to Rhine Life alone.

Furthermore, Yuuki also had to prevent herself from accidentally jumping into some rather awkward situations, but fortunately, after her careful attention, nothing awkward actually happened.

"Next, we just have to wait for Muirse to come over." Xiyue stretched and was about to take a nice nap when she realized that she was not comfortable lying down. Looking down, she realized that she had forgotten to retract her tail.

"I was wondering why something felt off." Yuuki retracted her tail and merged it into her body. Without the tail obstructing her view, Yuuki was finally able to lie flat.

Just as Yuuki was about to lie down and go back to sleep, she heard what sounded like coming from outside.

"Hmm?" Xi Yue looked towards the door with some confusion. "What are those two little ones doing?"

Xi Yue quietly woke up from her bed, hovered above the ground, and came to the hall without making a sound.

"This movie wasn't very good," Xi said, propping her cheek up with her hand and leaning back on the sofa. "By the way, whose movie is this?"

"I don't know, I just picked a random movie." Hong shook her head while hugging her pillow. "I saw that the rating was pretty high, so I put it on."

"How many points?"

"I remember it was showing 4.3 points on the channel just now."

"This plot? It can get so many points?" Xi rolled her eyes as she looked at the TV. "I still don't understand what it's trying to say."

Xi picked up the remote and exited the movie, glanced at the high rating of 4.3, and finally opened the movie review section.

Don't blame me, this plot is worth watching for most people (rating: 4/5)

[The person upstairs is utterly wicked; I was tricked into clicking this rating (5 stars)]

The people upstairs are all in cahoots! (Rating: 2 stars)

…………

"Oh, that's a classic situation." Yu Yue leaned back on the sofa. "I guess some guy started it, and then a bunch of people followed suit."

"Xi Yue, why do you walk so quietly?" Xi turned her head and glanced at Xi Yue. "That's not right, your room door is right next to there, how could I not have noticed?"

"You didn't just teleport here to scare us, did you?"

"Do you think I have a lot of free time?" Xi Yue rolled her eyes. "I'm not Nian. I just walked over here in front of you guys."

Hong looked at Xiyue and said, "But I didn't notice that Mom came over."

"I don't know about that." Xi Yue smiled, then looked at the TV. "But judging from the situation, I'm quite curious. What's the plot about?"

"The love and hatred between families." Xi watched TV. "But everything was fine before, but suddenly it was revealed that there was some kind of curse between the two families, causing them to suffer one hardship after another."

"Currently, the two sides have joined forces to search for some kind of treasure, claiming it's to lift a curse."

"I haven't watched the rest yet, but if nothing unexpected happens, I can roughly guess what the plot will be like next."

“Stopping like this is actually acceptable.” Xi Yue stroked her chin. “Logically, it seems to make sense, since we have a common enemy, and it makes sense for the two sides to unite.”

"But the plot twist was really abrupt." Xi shrugged, wondering who made the movie. "The first part was all about the love and hatred between the two families, and then suddenly it turned into a treasure hunt."

When Xi noticed who directed the script, a look of understanding immediately appeared on her face: "Oh, no wonder, it was this guy."

"Let me guess, it's not Nian, is it?" Looking at Xi's expression, Xi Yue roughly guessed what was going on. Sure enough, she looked up at the television.

The film's director is none other than [name omitted], and I don't know how he convinced the platform, but the platform even added "great director" in parentheses after [name omitted].

"I should have guessed it sooner."

"So what did you think of his movie?" Xi Yue touched the red figure that had come closer. "From your brief overview, it seems that the plot has improved to some extent."

"It's alright, I guess." Xi propped her chin up with her hand, seemingly looking for an interesting movie. "At least compared to her other terrible works, the plot of this one is acceptable."

“I think Nian will be very happy to hear that.” Xi Yue said with a smile. “At least he said something nice.”

"That's only because his other movies are so bad, almost unwatchable." Xi searched for a long time but couldn't find anything satisfactory, so she handed the remote control to Hong.

"This movie is somewhat watchable. I reckon it's probably her highest-rated film, even though it was boosted by other people."

"Ugh..." Hong looked at the remote control that had been shoved into her hand, then thought for a moment and handed it to Xiyue, "What does Mommy want to watch?"

"Are you guys just passing the buck?" Xi Yue rubbed her red head. "Speaking of which, who came up with this idea? Watching a movie so late at night?"

“I…” Xi raised her hand, “I’m having trouble sleeping, and sometimes I still dream about Sui, so I’m wondering if I should watch a horror movie…”

"Then Sister Xi pulled me up," Hong added, "and wanted me to watch a horror movie with her, but it was so boring."

“It was really boring.” Xi nodded. “I guessed most of the scare points, so I wasn’t really scared. Plus, the makeup and set design were really bad.”

"Then we decided to look at something else, and that's when we saw that movie."

"Want to watch a horror movie tonight to test your courage?" Yu Yue nodded. "That's an interesting idea, but aren't you afraid you'll add some spice to your dreams tonight?"

"Then I'll come find you tonight or go find your sister," Xi said calmly, as if she had already thought of a plan.

“You…” Xi Yue looked at Xi and shook her head helplessly. “Alright, let’s see what we can watch, or you can watch some of those bad movies if you’re interested.”

"Putting the plot aside, its special effects are still pretty good. We can also talk about some of the flaws in its plot."

"Miss Nian, will you cry when you find out?" Hong thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Oh, it seems unlikely. I can't quite imagine it."

"If that guy finds out, he'll probably just pretend to be upset and then continue making his masterpiece." Xi rolled her eyes. "But anyway, I don't know what to watch, so watching her movie might be a good way to pass the time."

"Okay, then let's finish watching the movie she just watched."

——————Rhode Island Botanical Garden——————

"I'm so bored," Kroos said, watering the ground with a watering can. "How much longer until we can go out and play?"

"About two more hours." Popka carried the large bucket of water to the middle. "Just bear with it, it'll be over soon."

"But I'm so bored." Kroos seemed to wilt the moment he heard there were still two hours left. "Can't time just pass faster?"

"Didn't Xiao Ke come here for volunteer work?" Katie soaked her water bottle in the bucket of water that Puff had just brought over.

"Since you chose this yourself, you should do it well."

“No, that’s not it.” Kroos shook his head, pointing to a nursery in the far corner. “I came here last night because I suddenly smelled a wonderful fragrance, and then…”

Upon hearing this, Popka looked at the nursery in the corner: "Little K, you're not thinking that you were starving last night and came here to steal flowers, are you?"

"Huh? Really?" Katie looked at Kroos in surprise. "Kroos, are you that hungry? And these flowers don't smell good either."

"Only the white flowers smell really good." The white flowers blooming in the corner of the peony, "They smell so good, I thought they were honey cakes."

"So, Xiao Ke was punished and sent here?" Popka nodded knowingly. It turned out that Xiao Ke didn't come here because he chose to do voluntary work like them, but because he was punished.

"Mmm." Kroos nodded. "I just said it by accident..."

Katie, curious about the track, lifted the plastic canopy that had clearly just been erected. The moment she did, a fragrance wafted out: "It smells so good! But why do these flowers smell so good?"

“I told you so.” Kroos put his hands on his hips. “It smells really good, um, that’s why I couldn’t resist, um, that’s it.”

"It feels like Kelp is making excuses for himself..." Popka muttered to himself, but he also had some doubts. "But this fragrance is really amazing. I don't think I've ever smelled such a fragrant floral scent before, and..."

Popka rubbed his stomach: "I think I can smell the fragrance of those flowers. I'm suddenly a little hungry."

“Now that you mention it, Popka…” Katie touched her own stomach, “My stomach seems to be growling too?”

"Because that flower is called the food flower." The perfumer walked in from outside. "Its fragrance can whet people's appetite, which is not really a problem."

"After all, I don't think most people would eat flowers just because their appetite is whetted..."

The perfumer stared intently at Ceobe: "Unfortunately, I still miscalculated."

This is indeed the planting area for all the medicinal herbs prescribed by Xiyue. Although it is quite important, it is a temporary structure and security has not yet been completed.

However, it's better to plant medicinal herbs as early as possible. Besides, only a few people know about this prescription now. To others, it's just like a few new plots of land have been built.

There's no need for heavy security at the moment. And while the aroma of the edible flower is indeed appetizing, normally, even if you smell it and your appetite is whetted, no one would choose to eat the flower directly.

But unexpectedly, in that moment of carelessness, a cypress, wandering around in the middle of the night for who knows what, ate most of the newly grown flowers.

Later, when the perfumer came over in the morning to continue illuminating the painting, she saw Kroos being tied up in a field by an unknown operator who was waiting for her.
