Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

The Shredder remained silent. He was always not good at talking, so he chose not to speak anymore.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become tense, Will on the side hurriedly came over with something.

"Why are you all so sad? Miss Jenny, and Mr. Shredder, I brought the poker over. Didn't you say we could play poker while drinking tea?"

"Well, Will is right, we shouldn't waste this nice weather. Come sit down, everyone. I'll pour you some more tea. There's still more than half a pot left."

Then...all the operators working at the Rhode Island Office in Kochi County put down their work and started playing poker leisurely.

Is this appropriate?

Chapter 429: Cheating, Right?

"Hey, did I win again?"

Will proudly showed the cards in his hand to the other people, looking as if he was sure of winning.

"Don't get too proud too soon. Are you on duty tonight?"

Oliver grinned, took the cards from Will's hand and spread them on the table.

"Huh? Why is it me again? I've been on duty three times this week!"

Damn it! Is it because I am young and inexperienced that people bully me like this?

"Ahem... didn't we say this before? Our bet is this: whoever wins the game will be responsible for sweeping the floor, organizing the documents, and buying afternoon tea for everyone..."

Oliver coughed twice, then forced an explanation.

In fact, they never said this before.

"........Can I regret my decision?"

Jenny laughed softly and said, "Okay, okay, Uncle Oliver, your joke is going to make Will cry."

"Hehe, this is the fun of playing cards. So, in other words, whoever loses will be on duty at night, right?"

Hearing Oliver change his words, Will naturally nodded in agreement. After all, he really didn't want to be the last one to go back at night.

"Oh? It seems like you are very confident in your cards? Hey, look carefully, my cards are even bigger than yours!"

"Wha, what?!"

Faced with Will's shout of disbelief, Oliver confidently slammed the cards in his hand onto the table.

"How about it? Then let everyone complete today's work."

Just when Oliver was feeling complacent, the shredder sitting next to him poured cold water on him.

"Oliver...your hand is smaller than mine."

"You must be kidding, Shredder, how big the cards in my hand are, don't I know?"

Oliver thought the shredder was playing a joke on him and picked up the cards on the table again.

result...........

"This...is this my card?"

Oliver felt that there seemed to be a slight deviation in his memory.

"At least none of us moved the cards on the table."

"A little advice - next time you change the cards, pay attention to what's behind you, too."

A strange voice came from behind Oliver and put a card in Oliver's hand.

"Who?!"

No one noticed that someone had entered the Rhodes Island office, not even the extremely vigilant Shredder, who was usually in charge of reconnaissance.

"The tea was very nice, by the way, and the pie was very nice, too."

Who is this person? Of course it is our Ms. Outcast.

The disappeared shortbread and the disappeared toffee pie had of course already run into Outcast and Beichen's stomachs.

"Hello, hello. Who are you?"

This was the first time Jenny encountered such a situation, and she was a little panicked. After all, Outcast had already walked in front of her.

And it was her first time to have such close contact with the Sakota people.

"They all call me Outcast, beautiful Miss Vaifan. I'm sorry I tasted your tea and delicious snacks without your consent."

When she stood in front of her, Jenny just felt that she was completely seen through by the person in front of her.

"You, please feel free to do as you please. If you haven't had breakfast, would you like to try the pie I baked? It might be a little sweet..."

Jenny even forgot to ask Outcast how she tasted her snacks and tea.

"Thank you very much. Many old friends know that I love sweets - especially Victorian sweets that are baked so delicately and lovely."

As he spoke, Outcast reached out for the plate of desserts, but found that another plate that was originally filled with toffee pie was now empty.

She couldn't help but frowned and whispered, "Beichen, you should have left some for me."

"Hehe, I accidentally finished it, Miss Qin... Miss Jenny, the snacks are really delicious."

Beichen jumped out from somewhere.

Are there any experts? !

"this..........."

Oliver's surprised eyes kept flickering between Outcast and Beichen, and finally, he recognized them.

"Yes, it's you! Will, come on, clean up the table."

Oliver respectfully moved two chairs over and spoke in a low voice.

"I thought you would arrive two days later. The last telegram said that you had just entered the border. Also, this is......"

Oliver's eyes moved to Beichen, who was standing next to Outcast.

Young, but unfathomable, at least that's what Oliver feels now.

"Beichen, you can just call him Beichen. There's no need to take us so seriously. After all, we're just here to handle some clerical work, right?"

Outcast smiled, while Beichen kept looking at Qin Liu from the corner of his eye.

To be honest, he really wants Qin Liu to perform that in public, that is, do you have... cough cough, he can't stop talking about it.

"Please understand, Xiaoqiu County is not a very prominent place, and we don't often have elite operators coming to our office. The last time I met an elite operator was when I met Mr. Stormeye on a field mission, and that was two years ago."

Oliver still couldn't hide his inner excitement and spoke a long speech in one breath.

"Elite operator? Sounds very powerful."

As far as Jenny knew, Oliver and several others worked at a place called Rhode Island Medical Company, and their colleagues called each other "Operators".

Jenny originally thought that this was just an ordinary pharmaceutical company until she saw Mr. Shredder in action by chance.

Elite operators, how strong would they be? Jenny was very curious.

"It's just a different division of labor among the Rhodes Island operators. Besides, I'm just an ordinary civilian now. I came to Xiaoqiu County just to get some information."

"In terms of strength, I am far inferior to the Beichen operator next to me."

Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on Beichen who was stealing the biscuits, which made him feel a chill on his back.

Oh no, I got caught eating secretly.

"Ahem, let me introduce myself."

Beichen turned around, quietly wiped off the biscuit crumbs on his hands, and introduced himself.

"Beichen, a Rhodes Island operator, the purpose of this trip is to assist Ms. Outcast in carrying out her mission in Xiaoqiu County."

Chapter 430: Has Rhodes Island started teaching magic?

"Assist? Hehe......."

Outcast showed a smile on her face that was hardly noticed by others. She didn't even tell Beichen the purpose of her trip.

Although what she didn't know was that Beichen knew everything, even the consequences of the original incident. Outcast still thought that Beichen was sent by Kal'tsit to perform other tasks.

"Yes, yes, speaking of information, do you want to see the financial statements first, or the inventory details of the purchases and shipments for the past six months?"

Oliver suddenly remembered this and quickly turned around and opened the locked cabinet behind him, ready to take out all the documents.

"Don't worry."

Outcast stretched out her hand to stop Oliver. She said verbally that she was a civilian operator or something like that. If she were really asked to deal with such matters now, she would probably have a headache for a long time.

"It's not that urgent that we two poor hungry people have to work right away... We've finally got a chance to go on this business trip, so it's reasonable to be a little lazy."

Jenny looked at the empty plates on the table. Although she didn't know how they became empty, she thought that the two people in front of her must have eaten them all.

"Haha, I totally understand. Would you like some more? Even though we're out of toffee pie, we still have plenty of shortbread."

Before Outcast could nod, Jenny had already brought out two plates filled with shortbread.

"Thank you very much, and I hope I didn't disturb your little entertainment."

Outcast's hand reached for the table where the plate was placed, but he grabbed a card instead.

The thin piece of paper spun a few times on her fingertips and suddenly disappeared.

"Whoa! Where did that card go?"

As expected, they are the best audience, Jenny said in surprise, covering her mouth.

"Still here."

Outcast flipped her wrist and the spinning cards returned to her fingertips.

"It's back again! Is this some kind of strange space magic?"

Jenny asked in surprise. Although she was no longer at that age, she was still very interested in such little tricks.

"It's just a little trick that a sullen co-worker taught me. It works great when I want people to focus on my fingertips."

Outcast said as he clapped his hands with a smile and the cards disappeared again.

"Oliver, Shredder, Will, and the young man standing in the corner, his name is Fred, right? Put down the folders in your hands and enjoy this rare leisure time with us."

"Is this... really possible?"

Fred was dumbfounded, he thought the elite operators were serious but powerful people.

If these words were spoken, Beichen would definitely burst out laughing.

That's because you haven't seen Huang and ACE, serious and serious? You can hear their laughter from across the room.

"By the way, thank you to this lovely lady for bringing us this delicious black tea with evaporated milk and the sweet and delicious pie. May I ask........."

Outcast's eyes were on Jenny again, but this time she didn't feel like she was being scrutinized.

"My name is Jane, Jane Willow."

"What a lovely name."

Outcast took a look at Jenny's appearance and jokingly asked, "Are you not old enough to drink yet?"

"I am of age, ma'am, and a soldier after all."

Jenny pouted and said, to be honest, she didn't really want others to praise her for being cute.

Although it is a bit...

"Oh? That grey Victorian uniform doesn't set off your golden hair at all. You're so lucky, Oliver. No matter how gloomy the day is, there's always sunshine in the house."

As expected of Outcast, this is a skill of praising people.

Beichen has secretly taken out a small notebook to write down everything. He has learned a lot during the past few days traveling with Outcast.

If Beichen could be as good at talking as Outcast, would he have been single for so long?

Although most of the words seemed to be just teasing the other person.

If Outcast were thirty years younger, it's hard to imagine how popular she would be.

"Haha, that's true. Little Jenny brings us a lot of laughter."
