Ark, please stop getting mad at the host's operators

"How old are you? We haven't been in touch for so many years. Judging from your years of fighting, I might be considered your old partner."

In Qingye's impression, Wanfeng should have become a host right after graduating from college.

His sense of command and these "old teammates" certainly could not have been developed in childhood.

Although these people look very young, they all have real combat experience. An outsider may only be amazed at the damage, but insiders like Qingye and Nanzhu will have a different impression.

In addition to the obvious "cross-era" external damage, the internal combat experience of Silent Texas and Kirin Night Blade is also "cross-era".

These are also some of the problems we discovered during the last wild clearing.

The people in his team are as abstract as the social experience of an adult compared to that of a newborn baby.

Kirin Yato and Texas give people the feeling that these enemies are the ones they have been fighting since they were young...

Every move was just right, not only able to complete the task well within the range specified by Wan Feng, but also able to avoid some of the most fatal injuries.

This perfect execution indeed fits what Wan Feng meant by "old partner".

But everyone has some little secrets, and this is not something that an outsider like Qingye can delve into.

Besides, it’s still being broadcast live now. Even if Wan Feng wants to tell him, it’s impossible to reveal it in the live broadcast room.

Just as Qingye was still thinking, the host spoke directly:

"Let's end today's live broadcast here. Thank you, Boss Jiuguo, for being the heroine. Thank you, Brother Ye, for being here as a witness for me and Teacher Nanzhu. Happy times are always short. See you next time."

After saying that, the live broadcast went black again.

"Brother Feng really doesn't work overtime at all, and he always leaves work on time. Why the hell did it take so long this time!"

"Didn't you wait for a long time to change clothes?"

"Lao Feng, please broadcast for a while longer."

Qingye looked at the live broadcast room that was not working overtime, and the private message from Wanfeng. He laughed and closed the live broadcast room and opened a private chat.

Wan Feng: I think Nanzhu is alright.

Qingye: It’s okay, we are old friends, just give him some blood and sprinkle some water. This kid usually earns money by spending it on game, this little money is not even enough for him to spend in a day.

Wan Feng: That’s fine. I guess I misunderstood your meaning and made him red-hot.

Kiyono: It’s just a small matter. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have used Clockwork SC to deal with him.

Qingye: Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. I may have to prepare to take the team to the border in advance. Nanzhu told me that the rift has been unstable recently, and the invasion may be increased in the next few days. The signal over there is not very good, and I probably can’t see your latest situation anytime and anywhere. I may not be able to fulfill the bet between us in time. Let’s settle the bet when I have time to come back.

Wan Feng: Oh, it's okay. There's no rush for the bet. I don't know how long those people can keep an eye on me, but I guess it's time to change the target. I have a lot of cards.

Qingye: Haha, I can see today that you really have a lot of cards.

Wan Feng: And what did you just say? The cracks on the border are going to increase the invasion! ?

Qingye: Yes, Nanzhu also just came back from the border. During the conversation, he said that the situation over there might not be very good. I guess he will set off back to the border tomorrow. Right now there are few people here, and I can’t just ignore it.

This time Wan Feng did not reply immediately, but waited for a while before typing a few words.

Wan Feng: I wish you a safe journey.

……

Li Ji had not left the sand table yet, not because he was still thinking about the battle just now.

It was because he had to enter the Arknights system again in a while to complete all the tasks for today and last night.

So he just turned off the live broadcast and sat blankly in the waiting hall, thinking about the conversation he had just had with Qingye.

According to what Qingye said just now, the cracks on the border are getting worse.

This made him think of the mission reward for completing mission 7-18.

Reward... World invasion level +1, and enable the module system.

At first, Li Ji couldn't understand why the world invasion level +1 would be a reward.

But now, he seemed to understand.

"Could it be that if it is just a simple natural increase in invasion... there will be no increase in modules?"

This mission happened to jump on the eve of the acceleration of the invasion, and it came with the reward of unlocking all operator modules in the world. This was all he could guess at the moment.

But things like modules... you call them rewards, but they are actually quite abstract.

For example, there are several template modules that seem to be non-existent in the world, and no one knows what the designer is hiding.

Especially the template of a certain ex-husband, which has not been found until now.

What is hidden is the module, what is missing is the mother.

So if I have to say, has it been strengthened?

Such as adding.

But there is another advantage:

"In this case, there shouldn't be any problem in delivering this mission. At least we won't give someone an invasion level +1 for no reason. That would be too rude."

Li Ji blinked his eyes and felt a little more comforted.

He would feel a little bit reluctant if he was allowed to cause the invasion level to increase by +1 for no reason.

But now, there will be no burden in my heart.

Thinking of this, Li Ji couldn't hold back his desire to hand in the task...

Just as he stood up and was about to leave the war sandbox, a white hand stopped him from getting up.

Li Ji looked in the direction of the hand, and found that it was Qilin Night Blade that blocked his way.

But before Li Ji could react, Silent Texas came over and stood next to Li Ji.

An invisible scent permeated the air in the middle of the lounge.

Qilin Yedao stood on Li Ji's left side, emitting a white aura. Silent Texas came to Li Ji's right side at some point and filled the right side with a black aura.

Li Ji, with a confused look on his face, was caught in the middle of the black and white aura.

He looked left and right, wondering:

"No, what does this mean?"

Chapter 38: Welcome Back

In the lounge of the sandbox, Qilin Yedao and Silent Texas stood beside Li Ji.

The two people were of the same height, just enough to block the light source from the virtual light, and the shadow covered Li Ji's face.

Li Ji didn't know what the two of them were going to do. They couldn't be planning to add Li Ji and three six-star supers to create a raptor - the Revolutionary Falcon, right?

What if you want to play Raptor?

It would be better to let the original two-star Night Blade find another two-star to stack with and play with the Thunder Spirit.

Do you like my huge jets and pancake frogs?

However, just as Li Ji was recalling the painful ladder during the reign of the Thunder Spirit, Qilin Yedao finally spoke.

"Doctor, do you want to explain the current situation? I heard Operator Rosa mentioned that she dreamed about you before, but now it seems that this is not her problem... To be more precise, it is not our common problem."

After saying this, Qilin Yedao looked at the silent Texas beside him, as if to say that if it was just a dream, then he shouldn't dream about Texas again.

"I am also very curious."

Texas tilted his head slightly and looked at Qilin Yedao, then spoke to Li Ji behind Yedao.

"The previous Reunion soldiers can be considered remnants, but what about the Patriot this time? Didn't he die in Chernobyl?"

"And why, Doctor, are you...are you broadcasting live?"

After hearing these words, Li Ji was stunned at first.

Especially, Qilin Yedao also mentioned Rosalinda, which reminded Li Ji of the smile on Rosalinda's face when she left at the beginning.

He felt something was wrong at that time, but without other evidence, Li Ji didn't want to make any blind guesses.

But now we should be able to fully confirm these summoned operators.

They should all actually exist, rather than being AI data.

At this time, Li Ji's brain was working frantically, thinking about how to explain the current situation to the two of them.

"It's difficult for me to explain the current situation to you at the moment, because I just arrived here and there are many things I haven't figured out yet." Li Ji thought about his words for a long time, and finally waved his hand and said.

"I also felt strange when I saw these enemies, but I can't be sure now whether they were affected by other 'things'. You should have experienced this during the battle."

Li Ji still had many things he was unsure about, so he decided to answer the two people's questions in the safest and most serious way.

He first explained his situation, and then informed Qilin Yedao and Texas of the information he could share, which could also better divert some topics.

"Indeed, compared to the living people before, their current movement patterns and body movements... always remind me of the collapsed bodies affected by evil spirits when I went to Sammy with the Doctor."

Qilin Yedao nodded slightly, and Texas beside him also lowered his head slightly, comparing the differences between the enemies in these two battles and the previous enemies.

"This world has also been invaded by evil spirits?"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them quickly shook their heads, "But their movements don't seem like a collapsed body..."

Something like a collapsing body is actually very representative.

First of all, their bodies and the surfaces of their attachments will be smoother, and the exposed optical components of the machinery will no longer reflect visible light.

Furthermore, although the enemy's movements this time were as uncoordinated as the Collapsed Body, they did not have constant unnatural shaking and twitching.

And most importantly, an enemy like the Patriots would definitely have unnatural black fog, but this was never seen in this battle.

This is very strange.

"So, I just got here, and there are many things I haven't figured out yet, but... I did find a way to bring you all here to fight, just in this situation now, it's just a little more expensive, as for the live broadcast..."

Li Ji smiled bitterly and explained the whole process, but he deliberately omitted the system part and instead explained the summoning chain in another way.

Especially when the two heard that the price of summoning them was a staggering 20 million Longmen coins per year.

Even in Texas's unchanging poker face, Li Ji could feel a slight change.

"I... let's not talk about it for now. Texas, what should your personnel contract salary be originally?"

Qilin Yedao asked Texas who was standing beside him.

"It should be 180,000, right? (The price for an E2 6-star operator) My salary is paid directly by Rhodes Island to Penguin Logistics. This is what the Emperor gave me."

Texas looked at Ye Dao and answered without hesitation.

Traditional companies may not discuss salaries and benefits in public for various reasons.

But Rhode Island does not have this restriction. After all, a large part of the people who come together are not here for money and treatment. These external things are only to ensure everyone's survival and living needs.

If you want to increase your salary, you can apply for it yourself, but whether it will be approved depends on whether someone agrees.

The two looked at each other, then looked at Li Ji, and asked in a low voice at the same time:

"Dr. Wanfeng, you're not being tricked, are you?"

They hadn't expected it to be so expensive. Does that mean the doctor has already spent 40 million Lungmen coins on them?

Although Rhodes Island can afford so much money, the problem is that there is only one doctor in this world! ?

No wonder the doctor wants to make money by live streaming...

He really is.

They both cried their hearts out.

Especially Kirin Yadao, who originally wanted to say something, but when she thought about how the doctor had gone to such great lengths to summon her so early, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

"As expected, I am still very important to the doctor."

Texas on the side was also silent, and seemed to be thinking about something.

But...it seems that they both don't know that summoning in this way actually doesn't cost any money.
