Ark Undead

Toner, eye cream, sunscreen, and a number of other gadgets that only locals in Victoria would use.

Melansa applied the sunscreen to her face in order, and finally evenly spread the sunscreen on her cheeks before checking her complexion.

Since she started learning swordsmanship from her teacher, Melantha's originally weak physique has improved significantly.

If it weren't for the swordsmanship taught to her by the Undead, and their constant encouragement for her to practice swordsmanship every day, Melantha probably wouldn't have been able to adapt to the training after arriving at Rhodes Island.

Even her originally pale complexion gradually improved and became rosy.

Yes, as always, nothing has changed.

Melanie washed off the makeup stuck to her hands and wiped them clean with a handkerchief before taking a glass bottle out of a small bag sewn next to the mirror.

This is a perfume that my family sends me every month, and it's also the scent that Melanie is most used to.

Speaking of which, the formula for this best-selling perfume in stores was actually determined by Melanie, who was only fourteen years old at the time.

However, the styles that Melanie uses are somewhat different from those sold in stores.

The difference lies in the fact that Melanie has adjusted the ingredients and formula, making its flavor lighter, while highlighting a subtle woody aroma in the overall base notes.

This was somewhat inappropriate for Melantha's age, and even Melantha's parents didn't know why she would make such an adjustment.

The reason for this is perhaps only known to Melantha herself.

Melanie sprayed some perfume on her wrists, rubbed her hands together, and then pressed and massaged the area where her ears met the back of her neck for a little while.

She was already used to using perfume, which was also the fastest way for little Melanie to adapt to a new day.

After taking care of everything, Melanie returned to her room.

"Merry, it's time to get up!"

The purple kitten looked up at the screen on Katie's bedside table and then spoke again.

"It's almost 7:30! If you don't get up soon, you won't get breakfast!"

Not only did he say it, he even put his hand on Katie's shoulder and shook his friend repeatedly.

"Waaah..."

Katie frowned and whimpered in pain.

"No! Waaaaah, I don't want to get out of bed, waaaah..."

Despite saying that, Katie still struggled to keep herself upright.

She had a sullen face, and even her eyes were completely squinted.

Although I woke up, I paid a price.

Melantha said as she took out her training clothes for the day from the closet.

"I heard they're training on the upper deck today. If you don't eat properly, you won't be able to keep up with your stamina."

"Aaaaaah! Why?! The deck!!"

Katie let out a mournful cry, as if someone was chasing after her and forcing her to do something she didn't want to do.

But upon hearing the word "deck," Katie immediately perked up, and Little Pello shrunk off the bed and ran to the bathroom to clean herself.

By this time, Melanie had already dressed and was holding rolled-up black over-the-knee socks.

Starting with the round toes, I slowly pulled the elastic socks upwards.

Once the stockings were fully unfurled, Melantha released the last bit of them from her fingertips.

Snapped!

The top of the stocking gently brushed against her fair, smooth thigh, making a crisp sound.

After putting on flat boots that covered her entire ankles, Melanie checked again to make sure nothing was missing, and then tidied her hair again.

Once her hair was all soft and smooth, Melanie tied it up in a small bun at the back of her head.

Although Melantha rarely tied her hair up before arriving at Rhodes Island, tying it up would undoubtedly be more beneficial for training.

After getting herself ready, Melanie looked at herself in the mirror.

Her upper body consisted of a gray jacket suitable for training, over which she wore a T-shirt. Hidden under the short skirt were safety shorts that allowed for bending and leg opening. She also wore black over-the-knee socks and black flat boots to protect her feet and ankles.

Excellent! It achieves warmth without sacrificing aesthetics.

Melanie has always been quite confident in her fashion sense.

Wow, you're so fast!

Only then did Katie complete her skin protection procedures.

She hurriedly put on her clothes, holding a comb in her hand, ready to fix her hair.

"Wait for me, Xiao Mei!"

It was only at this point that Katie truly understood the pain of staying in bed late every morning.

"Don't panic, take your time."

Melanie walked over and took the comb from Katie's hand.

Shall I comb your hair for you?

"it is good!"

...

My morning training sessions are usually used to wake up my body.

As a member of Operations Reserve Group A4, Melantha was often the first to get into the zone.

Instructor Doberman is very strict; this is a conclusion drawn from rigorous training by the members of the action preparation group.

It starts at 9:00 AM and ends at 11:30 AM. It includes aerobic exercise, flexibility training, and weight training. Of course, there will be a few minutes of rest time in between.

As an instructor, Ms. Dubin always maintained a very serious expression while working. For her, training these reserve group members well was her job.

The best way to care for them is to make them sweat as much as possible during training.

Only in this way can we shed less blood when actually carrying out missions or going to the battlefield.

After the morning training session, the members of Operation Preparation Group A4 gathered together for lunch.

The cafeteria is on the second floor of Rhodes Island, which has a total of five floors from top to bottom.

Of course, this is only the visible number of levels. It is said that there are even deeper areas below the fifth level, but without sufficient qualifications, entry is not permitted.

The top level houses the entire Rhodes Island command center, which is also where the bridge is located.

The second floor, the area below the top deck, is where all of Rhodes Island's entertainment venues are located.

Places like cafeterias, bars, tea rooms, and small shops run by Rhodes Island members can be found here.

Of course, most of these shops are also staffed by Rhodes Island operators.

Even the canteen, most of the operators who can cook will be on duty there for two days each month.

This includes someone that many operators deeply resent.

Once it's that person's turn to be on duty at the canteen, the supermarket will be absolutely packed that day, and the officer on duty at the supermarket will have to go and restock at least the next day.

The third and fourth floors are the living areas. In addition to the operators' dormitories, there are also some specially designated functional rooms.

Training rooms used by the preparatory teams and the personnel department are also located on the third and fourth floors.

The fifth floor is the research area and the location of Rhodes Island's medical department.

The lower levels, naturally, contain warehouses and other areas.

After lunch, Melanie and her team had an hour to rest.

After washing their faces, Stewart and Andre will go to the locker room next to the training room and lie on the benches for a nap.

Ansel, on the other hand, hurried back to his room to read medical literature.

Yes, besides being a member of the A4 task force, this pink-haired boy is also a member of Rhodes Island's medical department.

Ansel spends his days training and working hard to improve his knowledge as a doctor.

It's fair to say he was the most overworked person in the entire A4 task force.

Even so, Ansel still managed his schedule very well, showing he was a thoughtful boy.

Although some new operators will call Ansel "older sister" when they greet him.

The afternoon training sessions, compared to the morning sessions, focused more on practical application and learning from experience.

This stage of training is precisely what Melanie is most interested in.

Therefore, in the impression of her teammates, Melanie always had a very high level of enthusiasm for training.

From 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM, it was the training time for the preparatory action group.

Sometimes, the instructors would extend the training time to accommodate the day's needs.

However, once the training is over, the operators can arrange their own time.

Whether they go to the library to read books or to various entertainment facilities to meet other friends, it's their own decision.

But Melanie also uses her free time for training.

Because her training at Rhodes Island had ended, but her teacher's training had just begun.

Swing the knife 300 times a day, plus targeted swordsmanship training—that's the training requirement Melanie set for herself.

Usually, after the other team members have finished training, Melanie will practice for another two to three hours.

At 8 p.m., Melanie turned off the lights in the training room and walked out.

Katie was waiting for her in the hallway; the two of them had arranged to go to the bakery that evening to check out the discounted cakes.

It's not that they don't have money or wages; even during training, they receive allowances and wages on Rhodes Island.

The preparatory team usually participates in some less difficult tasks to earn some extra money.

The most important reason is that Melanie is too strict with herself in her training, and it will only end at this time.

"Look! That little bear is so cute!"

"Hey, they all look so delicious."
