NIKKE, after maxing out the favorability, all the Nikkis are not right

"So, in your eyes, what exactly is a being like me?"

"Niki? Human? Or perhaps an artificially intelligent life form that mimics humans?"

"You have a real thirst for knowledge, Alnick. You still ask me questions even at this moment."

Green rubbed his chin with his fingers and thought for a moment. To be honest, he was pretty sure what Alnic was.

They say she doesn't look like a human, but she still has a human appearance.

Although she is Nikki, she does not need to maintain the recognition that Nikki should have.

But if she is called an artificial intelligent life, she has a human appearance and intelligence beyond most humans.

After much thought, Green finally shook his head. "It's hard for me to explain what you are, Anik, but I think you must be a perfect being. After all, you possess all the advantages of both human Nikki and artificial intelligence."

"You are a miracle made up of countless zeros and ones. Putting aside these words of praise, I think you are my most steadfast comrade."

"When it comes to protecting humanity, my goal is the same as yours."

Green squeezed Alnick's hand tightly.

Even though her hand was terribly cold.

Anik closed his eyes and remained silent for a while. Then he suddenly said something surprising: "I understand your idea and will use it as a reference in the future. Now that the main problem has been solved, do you want to bury your body in my arms?"

"Huh? What?"

"According to my calculations and understanding, soldiers like you who often fight on the ground generally lack the relationship and love from their mothers. If you feel tired, perhaps I can play the role of your mother, give you a hug, and listen to your words."

"This... I think we should not use it, Anik."

Green's mouth twitched slightly, and he said speechlessly: "Please, do I look like someone who lacks maternal love?"

“How would you feel if my answer was yes?”

"Fuck, you're really right."

"When I thought about it carefully, I realized that my memory was a little fuzzy. I couldn't even remember who my mother was."

Green gently rubbed his forehead. After sorting out his memories, he realized that his life story was a complete mystery. Even those fragmented memories, when carefully connected, were full of doubts and disorganized. Upon closer inspection, they were simply designed to confuse him.

"It's okay, please let me give you a hug."

Anik opened his arms slightly, and with a smile on his face, he gently embraced him in his arms.

Chapter 302: On Buttocks

"..."

"Is this okay? Honestly, I think I'm past the age where I need to ask my mom for a hug."

After giving Alnick a brief hug, Green took two steps back shyly.

Although he is an expert in love affairs, he has trouble dealing with this type of mother.

"Please don't be shy, Commander."

"Based on my understanding of humans, those who lacked adequate maternal love and hugs in childhood often suffer from deep psychological trauma. In most cases, they become very withdrawn and find it difficult to get along with others."

"I can give you a hug every day if you want."

Somehow, Anik seemed to see through his shy expression and even teased him.

"Forget it, Alnick."

Green quickly waved his hand: "No talk, no talk about this."

"Okay, I respect your opinion, but if you have any other needs, you can always ask me."

"Please take care, Commander."

Anik smiled at him.

In a trance, Green glanced at her face hidden by the curtain. He didn't know whether it was an illusion or something else, but he always felt that there seemed to be a different emotion in the slightly raised corners of Anik's mouth.

"Goodbye, Alnwick."

"I still have to go to the rehabilitation center. We can talk then."

Without thinking too much, Green nodded to her and turned away.

……

Half an hour later.

At the entrance to the Rehabilitation Center, Miss Mana, a researcher at Mississippi, adjusted her black-framed glasses. She glanced at the tablet in her hand, a hint of amusement playing on her lips. "Commander Green, are you here at the Rehabilitation Center again to stock up?"

"Why are you saying such harsh words, Ms. Mana?"

Green glanced at her intellectual face and couldn't help but smile.

"It's not that I'm being harsh, but so many instructors have come before, and none of them have been successful with these serious criminals. But you're different. Every time you come, you pick up a Nikki from prison. I even suspect you've made some kind of deal with them behind the scenes."

"However, even if you have that kind of deal, I won't ask any more questions."

"The mission assigned to me by the Rehabilitation Center is to make these serious criminals, Nikki, who possess special abilities, useful to Ark once again. Honestly, I don't really care who will end up with such a hot potato like them."

"My only concern is their subsequent performance after successful rehabilitation. As long as the follow-up observation reports are normal, that's fine. Even if something goes wrong, you might get hurt, so please act according to your own abilities."

Mana spoke a lot of formulaic reminders in a very eloquent manner, then nodded to him.

"So, I assume you're here to provide rehabilitation counseling for Kansi, right?"

"Yes."

"Although Kansi is a serious criminal, compared to the two you picked up before, she is quite sunny and cheerful."

Speaking of Kansi, even Miss Mana, who usually has no expression, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

In the rehabilitation center, there are many Nikkis with bad tempers or personality disorders, but a serious criminal like Kansi, who is sunny, cheerful, fresh and unworldly, is like a flower in the mud in this place.

Of course, it would be better if she could change her habit of digging holes to escape from prison.

"I'll try my best. If possible, I'll take her out of the rehabilitation center and see if I can find her a suitable job."

"If that's the case, that's great."

"You've gained a capable subordinate, the rehabilitation center has met its targets, and I can temporarily return to my post from this busy chores. It's truly a three-pronged approach."

Mana pushed her glasses with her fingers, but a trace of the fatigue of a worker flashed in the corner of her eyes.

What was the scariest thing on the Ark?

For most women, that would be being made into Nikki by the government, and there is nothing more terrifying than that.

But for Nikki, there is something even more terrifying, that is, becoming a civil servant of the Ark after becoming Nikki.

Because Nikki has almost semi-permanent energy, their bodies will not feel tired. Even if their spirit and brain are tired, their bodies are still full of energy and can continue to do physical work.

It is impossible not to exploit such good labor force harshly.

Basically, every Nikki who works at Ark has a workload several times more than that of ordinary people, but in order to earn a future and a comfortable life, they have to accept this unequal treatment.

There's no way, there have to be servants in this world.

Just like the caste system that existed in a certain country a century ago, it is the same in the Ark now, except that the servants have become the refugees of Nikki and the Outer Rim.

Farewell Mana.

Green walked along the corridor to Kansi's cell. He didn't see her the last time he came, but this time, the owner of the cell happened to be at home.

hum.

With the sound of the cell door opening, Nikki appeared with her butt sticking out and digging a hole in the wall with handcuffs.

She was wearing a black and white striped prison uniform, her hands and feet were tightly bound with heavy shackles, her long brown hair with highlights was a little messy, but one could still vaguely see some optimism and cheerfulness from her smiling face.

Green folded his arms and quietly came behind Kansi.

It seems that Nikki, who is digging a hole in the ground with her big butt sticking out, is Miss Kansi, the hole-digging fairy in the Rehabilitation Center.

"Hehe, the security guards at the rehabilitation center never thought I could take off these shackles and even use them to dig a hole in the wall!"

"I'll have to get more bottle caps this time...but these walls are too hard. Could it be that the rehabilitation center reinforced the walls after I escaped last time?"

Kansi stuck his butt out, dug the hole hard, and talked to himself.

Seeing her so busy, Green stood by and watched for a while, then couldn't help but say, "You're quite busy at work, do you need any help?"

"Oh, thank you so much! I just need someone to help me get some tools. Could you please hand me that awl on the table? I bought it with great difficulty from another prisoner."

"of course."

Green glanced at the screwdriver on the table and handed it to Kansi.

The moment he received the screwdriver, Kansi, who was originally cheerful, finally froze.

Wait, why is there someone in her cell?

Finally realizing that something was wrong, Kansi quickly got up from the ground and put his hands behind his back with a little nervousness.

When she took a look at Green's military uniform, she realized that the handsome young man in front of her might be her new instructor.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Your instructor, and your immediate superior in the future, you can address me as Commander Green, or, in accordance with the rules of the rehabilitation center, you can call me Instructor."

"Eh? But I don't want to go out, instructor!"

When Kansi heard that Green was going to take him out, his eyes widened. "Although I heard that those two bullies, Sen and Gilti, were taken out, but instructor, someone like me can't survive out there!"

"Ok?"

"Why can't I survive?"

"We all have two eyes, a nose, and two hands. As long as we're willing to work, no one should be unable to survive, right?"

Green tilted his head and asked back with a little curiosity.

"If you can't survive, you can't survive, instructor."

Kansi pouted a little cutely and complained.

"First of all, I'm not some special fighter. I can't handle jobs that involve fighting and killing. If I work in a factory, people will discriminate against me just because I'm a Nikki. Honestly, life in the Ark is difficult, especially for Nikkis like us who don't have a diploma or education. Who would want us?"

"It's impossible for me to work. I'll never be able to work in my life. In the end, prison life suits me. The people here are nice to talk to, and they rely on me to go out and do the shopping... Uh, sorry, I didn't say anything!"

"Hmm, is that so?"

Green tried to think about it from Kansey's perspective.

For most of Nikki, it would be difficult to find a suitable job without going to the ground and fighting Letcher.

First of all, she has no diploma and no academic qualifications. These two points alone are enough to exclude many Nikkis. But even so, it is still difficult for her to find an ordinary job with a lower salary.

Not to mention that these meager salaries could hardly afford replacement parts that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of credit points. Secondly, when doing these jobs, it is inevitable that one will be looked down upon and discriminated against by ordinary people.

"Instructor, you also know how the Ark people treat Nikki."

"Even though we all do the same work, in their eyes, if we don't go to the ground and fight Letcher, we're just using taxpayers' money to support a bunch of freeloaders. Not only will they point fingers at us on a daily basis, but those superiors and leaders might even make things difficult for us and won't let us off easily no matter what."

"So, I think the rehabilitation center is more comfortable."

"This place is at least much more interesting than a factory assembly line, don't you think, instructor?"

Kansi chuckled.

She was just an ordinary Nikki in Ark, but she was doing very well in the rehabilitation center. Coming back here felt like coming home.

As for why, it depends on her talent and ability.

"You think the rehabilitation center is interesting?"

"I don't think this place is interesting. Unless you can convince me, I will take you out anyway."

Green crossed his arms and said forcefully, "First of all, I need more capable people to work at my base. Secondly, with my connections, it won't be difficult to find you a job."

"But I still want to respect your opinion, Kansi."

"Wow, instructor, to be honest, you're the first one who actually listens to me. You're really different from those ruffian instructors before."

Kansi glanced at Green with a little surprise.

It has to be said that she has a good impression of the handsome new instructor in front of her.
