I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

Two operators who came to Rhodes Island seeking treatment, and who have not yet become official Rhodes Island operators.

"You mean Black Steel International?"

"Hmm~ The little bunny is getting smarter and smarter!"

"But……"

Huang pressed down on Amiya's shoulder, interrupting her again, and said:

"There are no buts. They won't have any problems, and they couldn't possibly know about our hastily devised plan. I've looked at Razer and Franka's files; they're reliable, professional, and highly competent. We're just going to Chernobog, loading the Doctor into the car, and bringing him back. It's that simple and easy; there won't be any fighting in between."

She stared into Amiya's eyes, as if that would amplify the power of her words.

Amiya clenched her little hands into fists, then exhaled a long breath and nodded her little head.

She agreed to Huang's plan.

At this moment, Huang Maomao was unaware of the terrifying enemy she was about to face, or the joyful and happy destiny that awaited her.

The Lament of Fallen Pearls is beckoning to her, inviting them to join in.

……

……

boo~

With a soft sound, Bai Chen narrowed his eyes and let out a soft exclamation of praise.

"Cough cough..."

W's brows, which had been furrowed in pain, slowly relaxed, and the look of distress and suffering on her face gradually transformed into a blissful, infatuated smile.

As the feelings of happiness and joy gradually faded, Bai Chen raised his gaze to the clock on the wall, his expression becoming somewhat bewildered.

It's noon again.

He claimed he had returned to handle serious business, to deal with the situation in Chernobog, but after returning to the mobile city, he continued his life of debauchery and revelry.

I feel extremely tired and lethargic in the morning, and I almost never leave my room before noon, let alone do anything productive.

It's as if the only meaning of life is beautiful girls.

Bai Chen looked a little dazed and reached out to rub W's head.

He wasn't actually the kind of person who would always stay in bed and couldn't get up early, sleeping until noon. He actually got up at six o'clock every day, full of energy and ready to deal with serious matters.

The results of it?

As a result, their beloved W might have really gotten a little obsessed, or she might have really hated him to the core. Every morning, she would bring a bomb to carry out a bombing attack, as well as a friendly and enthusiastic good morning bite greeting from her little maid.

Faced with such an unruly and disobedient little maid, Bai Chen had no choice but to give her extra lessons on how to be a well-behaved and obedient little maid.

She primarily teaches W foreign languages, specifically the language courses taught by Ms. Qingquan. It's said that learning such an elegant subject as a foreign language helps one become an obedient and well-behaved little maid.

The class time passed quickly, the beautiful morning faded away, and time, filled with wasted time and laziness, arrived at noon.

After a quick wash, Bai Chen took W, whose face had returned to its sour expression, out the door. He glanced at W, who looked anything but obedient and was dressed in a classic black and white maid outfit, and thought that next time he should use a small remote control to torment her and let her experience the feeling of being hit by a bomb.

With a car full of gifts and cash, Bai Chen set off and began another day of gift-giving.

He had many gifts to give, mainly to the old nobles in Chernobog. With the legal laws and regulations in place, their attitude towards the old nobles had softened, and he kept giving them various gifts in an attempt to ease tensions.

On the surface, it looks like this, but in reality, it's just a prelude to a banquet called 'Apology' to seek renewed cooperation. At the banquet, 600 Sarkaz axemen will be ambushed. At the crucial moment, a cup will be smashed as a signal, and the 600 axemen will come out with arrest warrants to arrest people. Those who obey will be taken down on the spot, and those who disobey will be hacked to death.

084 If I ran into Rhodes Island, my life would be over~

Learning a foreign language is a strenuous activity that can easily make you sweat a lot.

So, after studying a foreign language for almost the entire morning, working up a sweat and feeling weak all over, W-chan naturally ran back to the luxurious carriage to wash up.

After washing up, this rebellious little maid, who always did things her own way and didn't care about other people's opinions, climbed into bed and fell fast asleep, showing no intention of fulfilling her duties as a maid by making tea and preparing food.

However, she wasn't the kind of person who could do these jobs well; her best dishes were only boiled potatoes, roasted potatoes, and stir-fried potatoes.

She was the kind of maid who was even worse than Zao Lu.

Although Zao Lu has always been a pampered young lady, she has received pastry lessons that a lady should be able to master, and at least can make delicious desserts, the kind that are so sweet that Sakta would particularly like them.

Bai Chen had no desire to drag out the lazy maid hiding in his space to keep him company, and he even sent the diligent white rabbit back home.

Dark and bloody things are not suitable for beautiful girls to participate in, otherwise the system will nag incessantly like a broken record.

His mind was filled with the endless chatter of that tireless tape recorder.

The gift-giving and money-giving work went very smoothly.

You can't hit someone who's smiling. They're giving you money and gifts, and the people giving them are very humble. Even if the old nobles of Ursus have a bad temper, they'll accept the gifts first.

After all, as traditional Ursus nobles, they were better at controlling the military and managing inefficient heavy industries than the new elites who were adept at developing quick-money industries such as media, urban networks, and finance that emerged with the times.

The traditional Ursus aristocracy was also very short of money, extremely short of money. They needed to support a large army and a violent organization, and they also needed a lot of money to maintain the army's military equipment expenses.

The long-term war has made Ursus stronger. The war has given Ursus new blood and ideas. The old nobles, who still insist in the Ursus Council that only those with military merit can be promoted to true nobles, have not yet taken action against the army and violent institutions on which they depend for their livelihood.

They are even constantly trying to maintain and repair the Ursus war machine, and even attempting to make it more powerful.

So much so that the old nobles haven't yet become so corrupt as to squander the money allocated to the military and violent institutions. They are still doing their utmost to maintain the traditional military structure, giving preferential treatment to Ursus soldiers with military merits and to the children of soldiers who died in battle... They are incredibly powerful.

The powerful Ursus nobility, despite their immense wealth, are currently unable to extend their reach to Ursus's violent institutions, resulting in a situation of extreme antagonism between the two.

Individual combat power is enough to unleash a devastating attack on a land filled with beautiful girls. The old nobles of Ursus will personally take to the battlefield. They are still considered the backbone of the force. If the battle goes against them, they are often the focus of others' attention and die quite quickly.

Their descendants need military merit to inherit the title; without military merit, they cannot inherit the title or other resources.

Thus, Ursus, an empire that has fought for over a thousand years, an empire that has long relied on war to maintain itself, and an empire that has never been destroyed by war, has maintained its vitality in an absurd and bizarre way.

If there's no war, no more external conflicts... Ursus will run into problems. Without war and no deaths, the empire will be unable to achieve a proper generational transition.

Without the replacement of old employees with new ones, and without proper communication between different levels of government, a series of problems have emerged.

This thousand-year-old empire has instead encountered problems, even giving the impression of being on the verge of collapse.

Bai Chen believed that the Black Serpent's theory was largely correct. Ursus could not exist without war; why not continue to trust its framework, which had remained largely intact for over a thousand years?

Even if a transformation is necessary, the Ursus war machine cannot simply be stopped; a smooth landing must be achieved.

Bai Chen had a very amicable conversation with a group of former Ursus nobles that afternoon. He not only gave them money and promised to support the maintenance of the military merit system, but also promised these former nobles a new great war to make the empire great again.

However, when he went to see another group of old Ursus nobles that evening with gifts, the atmosphere between the two sides was not so harmonious. It turned into an extremely antagonistic scene. This group of old nobles, who seemed not very good at fighting and did not have many military medals, inexplicably looked down on all the new nobles, and their words were full of arrogance.

Bai Chen naturally wrote these people down in his notebook, planning to accuse them of embezzling military funds or something similar in a few days, and to send a loyalist arrow to each of them.

If possible, he actually hoped to unite all the forces that could be united to minimize internal strife and attrition within Ursus. Ursus is such a powerful nation; wasting its personnel and troops internally would be a waste, and he had always been preparing a better place for them.

However, these half-baked experts were ungrateful, so he had to find a more reasonable excuse to get rid of them.

Bai Chen took out his phone and checked the schedule. Just as he was about to press on and give himself an extra shift before visiting another group of old noble families in Chernobog with gifts, his rarely quiet, broken system started making noise again.

"Ah, Sister Huang, my Sister Huang, big cat, big cat, fragrant and warm big cat, Sister Huang hehe... Ah, my Sister Huang, big cat~ soft and warm big cat! In this cold winter, only a warm and soft big cat can warm people's hearts, right? Hehehe, hehehe..."

"Ah!! Franka, hehe... My Franka, you fat fox, you mischievous fat fox, come and play a trick on me! Miss Franka, hehehehe..."

"Razer, ah—Razer, shock me quickly, recharge me! The tingling sensation must be amazing, right? Being shocked by Razer is the best reward ever! Ahhhhhh, shock me, shock me now..."

Rhodes Island?!

The system's voice, as if it were acting up, made Bai Chen gasp in shock.

Why did they come at this time?

This is the most crucial time!

Bai Chen accelerated the carriage, speeding off in the opposite direction indicated by the system.

Just kidding, he has absolutely no desire to have any contact with Rhodes Island!

He's hit it head-on. His life, his Terran journey, is about to end. From now on, he'll be a cow that has to work hard 24/7!

085 Another beautiful girl is doomed!

No matter how fast the carriage ran, it couldn't outrun the System's loud shouting.

She always found a way to remind Bai Chen that this was a land full of beautiful girls, a land where he could fall in love with them, or even harm them, to show them the power of the Pearl Tears Elegy. And then, the sacred Pearl Fall was the succubus's duty.

It's as if the land full of beautiful girls would collapse if they were gone one day.

Bai Chen couldn't stand the broken system's incessant rants any longer, so he finally changed direction and drove the luxurious carriage to invite Huang and the other beautiful girls to get on board, heading at high speed towards a world of joy and bliss.

……

……

The thermite sword lit up with azure flames under the night sky, instantly transforming into a fierce attack in mid-air, forcing Bai Chen back.

"Razer, cover me!"

With a flick of her red, fluffy fox tail, Franka retreated swiftly into the back of the alley. The delicate heels of her high heels did not hinder her agile movements in the slightest.

Even the frigid temperatures of Ursus seemed to have no effect on her. Even in temperatures approaching zero degrees Celsius, her long, voluptuous legs were only covered by black stockings, showcasing their almost flawless curves.

Especially the incredibly plump, fleshy shape squeezed out by the top of the black stockings, its shimmering, snow-white color seemed to be able to suck away one's soul.

Before Franka could even speak, the muzzle of the gun had already lit up. The Originium-etched bullets whistled through the streets, and with the unique Originium Arts, they even left faint arcs of lightning trails in the night.

boom!

As a strange, eerie purple-pink light appeared, six enormous bat wings, symbolizing demons, spread open, and Bai Chen leisurely tried out the new ability given to him by the system.

It wrapped itself with six pairs of bat wings and withstood a barrage of Originium-etched bullets that filled an entire magazine.

She pressed the return button, and Razer shoved the new magazine into the gun with a click. After a rough aim at Bai Chen, who now occupied almost the entire alley, the Originium-etched bullets were fired again. She put away her weapon and followed Franka to retreat.

Perfect teamwork.

Normally, Franka would tease her honest, simple, and easy-to-bully teammate Razer at times like this, but she was in no mood for it at the moment.

"Rhodes Island! Are you all ready over there? A Sarkaz from Ursus is coming! We don't have much time left. If we don't evacuate soon, we might attract the attention of the Chernobog military police, and then it will be very troublesome to escape!"

Franka shouted at Huang through the radio, her usually soft and lazy voice now tinged with impatience.

"Six minutes! Remember, at most six minutes. Razer and I will lure them away, but that will only buy you six minutes. After six minutes, we will prioritize our evacuation!"

“Two employees of Blacksteel International, we have successfully awakened the doctor. Now return to the ground.”

Amiya's voice came through the radio.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you both..."
