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

"Then I'll be polite. Oh, by the way, Zhong Ming, I discovered the ruins of a large shelter in the snowy north a while ago, but the human residents there all starved to death and froze to death. The cause of death is self-evident: lack of energy in the icy world, coupled with the Letcher's rampage outside, it's only natural that they all died in the end."

Snow White remembered a shelter she had found in the snow before, and mentioned it to Zhong Ming.

"That's really sad... If you want to survive on the ground without resources, the outcome will be like this."

Zhong Ming sighed slightly and said, "But you brought this up to me specifically, not just to make me sad for a while, right?"

"Of course, because those people died of freezing and starvation, Letcher didn't find it there."

"If you have time, you can go and see if there is anything valuable."

"Okay, give me the coordinates and I'll go check it out."

320

Chapter 320: The power to change the world.

"Let's talk."

"Where's that camel-riding guy from your unit?"

Before leaving, Zhong Ming suddenly remembered a pilgrim who rarely appeared: "I think her name is Nayuta or something?"

"You talk about her."

"She has something to do, so she usually doesn't move around with us."

Snow White ate her breakfast while grumbling and replied, "But it should be soon. I guess she should be back soon."

"Then please say hello to her for me."

"I will."

After Zhong Ming exchanged a few words with Snow White, he hummed a tune and walked towards the crown's bedroom.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

After knocking on the door three times gently, Zhong Ming pushed it open and woke up Crown who was still sleeping as usual.

Then things got serious.

"Huh?! You bastard, why are you in the lady's bed?"

"Zhong, Zhongming?"

Green had just woken up in the morning and had not yet had time to leave the Crown Room when Zhong Ming immediately grabbed the hem of his shirt.

Although he felt like he was caught cheating, Green felt that the responsibility for this wonderful mistake was not solely his.

But before he could explain, Zhong Ming pouted and thought for a while, then raised the corner of his mouth and pretended to complain: "Forget it, I am just the young lady's subject. No matter what happened between you two last night, it is a matter between you and the young lady."

"but!"

"Since you have done such a thing, you must take responsibility for it!"

"It just so happens that our Crown Kingdom is still in need of a queen, so you can be the one."

"..."

"I'm the queen?"

Green touched his cheek with some embarrassment and pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible, but queens are usually women..."

"Oh, why bother with it? It's just a title! Anyway, since this and that happened between you and my lady, you have to agree to it no matter what."

Zhong Ming glared at Green and urged him to agree quickly: "It won't do you any harm anyway, right?"

"I see."

Green nodded.

He also knew what Zhong Ming was thinking. Miss Crown was too naive, and the entire kingdom depended on her alone. If any battle happened in the future and Zhong Ming couldn't help, the situation would be very dangerous.

So she also wanted to find a stable backing for the crown.

And there just happened to be a human being in front of him who was worthy of reliance, and he was also very handsome. Standing together with the Crown, they were a perfect match made in heaven. What reason did Zhong Ming have to object?

I agree to this marriage!

"Okay, you're a straightforward person. Then according to the rules of our kingdom, you have to take good care of my young lady from now on. Oh... No, from now on, I should say she's your young lady."

Zhong Ming chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, both of you hurry up and pack up. Let's go have breakfast before it gets cold. And you, after we finish eating, the young lady and I have something very important to tell you."

"How important is it?"

"This is something that concerns the future of humanity. Expect a surprise."

Green nodded, happily got dressed, and hurriedly ate breakfast with Crown and the others.

Zhong Ming is a very good cook.

Breakfast was made with pheasant eggs and rice, and even had soup noodles and pickled radish as a side dish. Because he was worried that there wouldn't be enough for so many people, Zhong Ming specially made a big pot of noodles.

But she didn't need to worry about not being able to finish it.

Wherever Snow White goes, there will be no grass growing on the dining table.

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Snow White wiped the corners of her mouth, which were still stained with soup, and raised her bowl and chopsticks to Zhong Ming without any hesitation: "Please, another bowl."

"Hey, you've already eaten eight bowls. Are you a pig? Also, don't act like you've never eaten in your previous life. Eat slowly. No one's going to snatch it from you."

Zhong Ming brought Snow White another bowl of steaming noodles. Although she complained, she never treated her friends badly.

"Well, thank you."

"You are welcome."

"Life in the castle may not be as convenient as on the Ark, but it's not bad either. At least we can still be self-sufficient."

Zhong Ming smiled complacently and proudly introduced the infrastructure of the Crown Kingdom.

"See these noodles and rice? They're all made from flour I ground myself. To be self-sufficient, we've planted a lot of fields and built a lot of mills around the kingdom. Lately, we've been thinking about how to automate production. I heard Ark has a lot of knowledge in this area. If possible, could you bring me some next time? Either finished products or blueprints will be fine."

"no problem."

Green nodded and said, "The Ark has achieved full automation in many areas. In today's Ark, many jobs have been replaced by robots."

"Medical care, production, planting, housekeeping, distribution and even creation."

"These AI-powered robots can handle a wide range of tasks, and if you have the money, you can buy them anytime. I'll bring a few back for you."

"Great, I knew you were reliable!"

Zhong Ming cheerfully opened the refrigerator, pulled out a glass of high-quality milk, and handed it to Green. "Here you go. This is top-quality fresh milk, produced right here in our kingdom. It's guaranteed to be sweet and fresh. And since you're a human, you should drink more to supplement your calcium. It's better for your health."

"Besides calcium, I think there are other things I need to supplement..."

Green picked up the milk and drank it all in one gulp, but a hint of haggardness appeared on his handsome face.

Don’t look at the weak and fragile Crown, she was very active in wanting more last night.

"Oh, you look so haggard?"

"Ahem, my lady is Nikki, so you might find it a little hard to bear."

"But it's okay. I'll make you something delicious tonight. There are a lot of wild animals here. I'll catch a couple for you and make some kidneys for you to nourish yourself."

Zhong Ming chuckled and poked Green's waist tacitly.

She is quite concerned about her young lady's life.

Even when it comes to nightlife, Zhong Ming, as a minister, is dedicated and responsible. There's no other way, after all, she's the king's most capable minister. This mission is the meaning of her existence.

"By the way, you just said there was something very important, so what is it?"

"Please follow me, Mr. Green."

The crown had a smile on her face. In fact, when she first met him a long time ago, she had considered whether to entrust the precious things she was guarding to him.

But they didn't know each other well at that time, and she couldn't confirm whether Green was a man of high moral character.

However, after a period of observation, she also realized that the commander in front of her was indeed a noble person pursuing ideals. In this way, it was time for her to hand over the secret she had always guarded to him.

"Well, I'll go with you."

Green nodded and agreed happily.

"By the way, Miss, from now on you can't call me Mr., you should use a more intimate name."

"Ah! Sorry, Zhong Ming, I forgot. What should I call Mr. Green?"

"Well, well... uh, this really hits the nail on the head. Miss, don't worry, I'll go look up the literature and get back to you."

"It's okay, let's get down to business now."

The crown and the bell led Green all the way to the depths of the castle.

Walking on the dusty red carpet and winding corridor, Green stretched out his fingers and gently brushed across the thick brick wall. At this solemn moment, he looked at the murals above his head that had long been covered with dust, and still felt a sense of the weight of history.

"Once upon a time, this place wasn't a kingdom, but an extremely important warehouse of the Ark."

"And I am Nikki, one of the people who is in charge of guarding this place."

The crown's gentle voice interrupted Green's thoughts. She murmured as she walked towards the gate at the deepest part of the castle: "Our mission is to defend this place and ensure that Letcher will not take away what we are guarding."

"But in the end, everyone else died in battle."

"Commander, Nikki, they all fell to Letcher's artillery fire. It's been so long I've almost forgotten what they looked like... But the mission I guard is the only thing I've never forgotten."

"They're in this room."

The crown gently pressed a button on the wall.

With the heavy sound of the metal door rumbling open, gusts of cold air suddenly rushed out from inside, and a huge cold storage appeared in front of the three people. Displayed in the refrigerator were sealed metal boxes one after another.

"These things are..."

"It's the seed of an artificial plant, which we call a super seed."

Zhong Ming took out a small metal box from the freezer, gently placed it on the table, then opened the lid, revealing the plump, bright yellow plant seeds inside.

"The continuation of human civilization is inseparable from agriculture. Sweet potatoes, wheat, and rice—it is precisely because of the existence of these crops that life can thrive and continue from generation to generation."

"But the world is completely different now."

"Not to mention that much of the land's resources have either been completely exploited by Letcher or have been usurped and modified by heretics. Fertile soil suitable for safe cultivation is now extremely scarce. Furthermore, the excellent rice seedlings and seeds cultivated by humans in the past have also been lost over this long period of time. Therefore, for humans today, reclaiming the land is practically impossible."

"Without food, we will never be able to expand our strongholds or advance our front lines."

"But now, the hope that can provide for all of human civilization lies before you, in your hands."

Zhong Ming carefully handed the seeds in his hand to Green.

He solemnly took the seed and let it lie flat in the palm of his hand.

"This is the super seed that the scientists at the Ark worked together to cultivate."

"Its growth cycle is extremely short, the yield is large, and it is not picky about soil. Even in the poorest soil, it can bloom and bear fruit, producing clusters of abundant fruits, and it can grow again and again after being harvested."

"Although it may not taste particularly good, the food cooked from the fruit of the Super Seed can meet most of humanity's nutritional needs. It's no exaggeration to say that it should have been humanity's hope, but for some reason, the Ark abandoned it here and didn't even send any reinforcements when Letcher attacked."

"..."

"But no matter how the Ark views the Super Seeds, my lady and I have the mission to protect them, and we look forward to the day when we can entrust them to trustworthy humans."

Zhong Ming and Huang Guan were silent for a while, but their expressions became serious.

In a sense.

They can also be considered as Nikki who was abandoned by the Ark.

Although Zhong Ming arrived later, the Crown was used as cannon fodder by the Ark at that time. Nikki, who was so powerful that she could repel the heretics single-handedly, was just casually thrown to the ground. No matter how you think about it, there must be some conspiracy involved.

But even so, they still stick to their mission.

After a moment's silence, the Crown spoke: "Mr. Green, we also know that you are the commander of the Ark. You are a human from that place. If we give you the seed, the Ark may be able to obtain it."

"But no matter what, we will not hand over the super seeds to Ark."

"Because the Ark is not trustworthy."

"We don't want to see such precious things wasted for no reason anymore, and we don't want to see everything we protect being trampled upon. So, can you please swear an oath?"

"Please swear to use it to retake the Earth and save humanity, rather than using it as a bargaining chip to boast about your achievements and abilities to the Ark. Only then will Zhong Ming and I entrust the Super Seed to you."

"..."
