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

Rita smiled smugly.

Looking at the masterpiece in front of her, she nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, kid."

"Did you gain anything from going to the surface this time?"

"I heard from the people at Ark that you seem to have brought back a very powerful map?"

"I did get a pretty impressive map. Do you want to see it?"

"Let me take a look. I'm quite confident in surveying and mapping. If the scale of your map is wrong, I can help you correct it."

Green handed Rita the map drawn by Dr. Letcher for her to take a look.

He had just sent back the printed copy of the map in electronic form yesterday, and Ark had already received the news the next day. Even Rita, who hardly reads the news, knew about it. It seemed that someone had deliberately spread his achievements.

But if you think about it carefully, this is normal.

Not long ago, the Ark had just experienced the Letcher attack on the city. After witnessing Letcher's horror, the common people's desire for counterattack naturally intensified. Taking advantage of this wave of public opinion, the pro-war faction in the Ark naturally took advantage of the situation and rose up.

As the most representative figure among the pro-war faction, Green was naturally packaged by Anderson and Ingrid.

The more achievements Green makes, the more uneasy other forces will naturally feel. As long as the enemy takes action, Anderson can give Green a legitimate excuse to counterattack.

A so-called coup d'état always has to have a legitimate reason and requires the support of public opinion, military force, and all kinds of favorable conditions, including time, place, and people.

This is also the reason why Anderson let Green open up the field on the ground.

The Ark has lost too many Nikki and technologies on the ground. Whether it is the pilgrims or the lost technologies, even if only a part of them is recovered, it can still shake the Ark.

So, this is an outright conspiracy.

However, the prerequisite is that Green must have the ability to survive on the ground so that he can grow stronger and wait for the opportunity.

Originally, the other deputy commanders were not optimistic about the first stronghold he established on the ground.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, the legendary commander sent another map back to Ark.

There is no doubt about his ability. It can even be said that he is terribly strong and is definitely not weaker than the "Morning Star" who commanded the second ground recovery campaign.

After this incident, it is estimated that there will be more high-ranking officials in the Ark who are wary of him.

But it doesn't matter, because it's an open conspiracy. No matter how much they want to intervene, they can't extend their dirty hands to the ground.

In Green's own words, the entire base is filled with my own Nikki, what can you use to fight me?

As for where these Nikkis came from...

Of course I picked it up!

These are all Nikkis who were abandoned by the Ark. Crown, Snow White, Red Lotus, and Long Hair were wandering around on Earth, and no one wanted them, right? So I picked them up and brought them back to my base, helped them renovate their bodies, and then they, out of my face, also helped me fight. This is also normal, right?

What did you say? I have my own army and I am a big threat to the Ark?

What are you talking about?

This is not called having an army of my own. I am just a kind commander who likes to take in the homeless Nikki. If you don't know how to speak, don't talk nonsense.

Green was thinking.

Rita had already returned the map to him.

"Kid, I just took a look. The person who drew the map is really good. Now I can confirm that the map he gave me is absolutely real."

"Um……"

"Anyway, if you're going to explore those unknown areas, I suggest you make all the necessary preparations before setting off. And you, listen carefully to me."

Rita turned to look at the three people standing nearby, and began to lecture them seriously: "Although I'm not good at combat, I'm also well aware of the dangers of ground exploration. If conditions permit, you should probably get yourselves some more powerful equipment."

330

Chapter 330 Please let me shine.

"Yes, old lady Rita... the old senior is right. If we go out to explore the world, we can't do it without good equipment."

Anis raised her lips and retorted to Rita, "But most of those Nikkis who don't fight on the ground don't know that equipment isn't always better the stronger it is. Only equipment that's compatible with Nikki's body can bring out its full potential."

"Anis, don't think that I don't understand these principles just because I don't fight on the ground."

Rita frowned slightly.

She actually heard the hidden meaning in Anis's words, which was probably that she felt that someone like her who didn't fight on the ground had no right to comment on people like them fighting on the front line.

Although a little unhappy.

But when Rita thought that Anis was just that kind of person, she felt relieved.

"Annis, I won't argue with you."

"I'm just worried about you, afraid you won't be fully prepared and end up in trouble. I've seen this happen too many times. So, if you have any tools or weapons you'd like us to make, just let us know. We'll be staying in your base for a month, so if you need anything, just let us know. If you miss the deadline, we'll have to pack up and head back."

Rita said.

"Whoa whoa."

Anis' lips moved slightly, and then she said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Rita, what I said just now was a bit too much."

"Anis, you're still as willful as before. You throw your socks around, you're sloppy, you live your life as you please, and you don't control your words."

Rita showed a trace of helplessness like an old mother, and then asked: "Isn't it time to grow up?"

"..."

"What are you talking about? I'm already an adult, why do you care about me?"

Agnes turned her head away and started to quarrel with Rita.

"Really? That's strange. Nikki has a very long lifespan. If she takes good care of herself, she could live for hundreds or even a thousand years. Yet, most of these long-lived Nikkis are stuck in the same place."

"Even though they are already in their seventies or eighties, the girl in their hearts is still like a rebellious child who has never grown up."

Rita paused, then said to Anis, "Anis, I know you hate me preaching to you. But no matter what, you have to live well, understand?"

"..."

"I understand."

"Okay, that's good. I won't say much more, Sandy. Let's get started."

"I understand, Rita-senpai!"

Rita and Sandy turned around and started working on the construction.

Looking at their energetic backs, Anis was silent for a while. It seemed as if she had a lot to say, but when the complaints came up, she swallowed them all.

Nian, however, was whispering beside them: "Although Rita likes to boss Sandy around and nag others, I always feel that she cares about Anis very much. Don't you think so, the all-knowing and omnipotent Anis?"

"What?"

"I don't want that kind of concern. It's so annoying. Rita is the same. She has no idea what kind of life I lead every day on the ground, so she keeps nagging me."

Anis snorted and said stubbornly.

Seeing Anis grumbling, Green couldn't help but smile and remind her, "Anis, you might not know this, but Rita is a true veteran. Her experience can even be traced back to when Ark launched its first ground reconquest campaign."

Anis was surprised: "Huh? Really?"

Nian also exclaimed: "Senior Rita is too experienced. If she were a little older, wouldn't she be almost the same generation as the Goddess Corps? But when I think of such a senior still working diligently for Ark, it feels very strange."

"Logically speaking, given her generation, she should have retired long ago to enjoy her old age, right, Master?"

"Ark must have introduced Rita to a less busy government job, but old ladies are always restless. I'm afraid she chose her current life herself."

Green thought for a moment before speaking.

"That's it."

"Then she is truly great, completely different from people like me."

"..."

"Forget it. I don't want to talk about it anymore."

After Anis muttered a few words in her mind, she shut up.

She didn't know why, but she always felt particularly bad.

It could be her period, but it's more likely that her rebellious nature is secretly playing tricks on her again.

That's right, she just can't stand those great and glorious people and things. Although she is negative and bad, it doesn't stop her from being cynical and finding fault with others.

Green glanced at Anise.

He also noticed that something was wrong with Anis today.

She was usually so full of energy, but now she was like a porcupine covered with thorns. She didn't know who had touched the territory in her heart that could not be invaded by others, causing her to be upset.

After thinking it over, Green found an excuse to send Labi and Nian away, then turned around to boil a pot of hot water, made her a cup of brown sugar water, and handed it to Anis who was sitting under the shade of the tree.

"Why are you so unhappy? Is it your period? Or did you lose a sock? Anyway, drink some sugar water to warm yourself up."

"..."

"puff."

"Commander, you are doing this meaningless thing again."

Anis reached out and took the cup of brown sugar water he handed her. She looked down at her blurry reflection in the cup with an awkward expression. "We are Nikki. We don't have menstrual periods. We drink this stuff just to comfort ourselves. Ultimately, we are just imitating human behavior and tricking our brains into thinking I am still the same person as before."

"It's really sad to live like this, isn't it?"

"Why, Anis, do you think you are not a woman, but a heavyweight monster weighing hundreds of pounds?"

Green quipped.

"No!"

"I just... I just..."

"I'm just in a bad mood. Give me some time and I'll be able to adjust myself soon."

Anis put the sugar water aside.

She hugged her knees, curled up in the shade of the tree, and her voice gradually became weaker.

Seeing that her eyes were confused and she seemed to have lost her direction, Green reached out and gently patted her shoulders twice, saying comfortingly: "Actually, I also know that in Anis's eyes, many things may be meaningless."

"Just like this cup of sugar water, and this idiot commander in front of you, who knew you were Nikki, but still went to make a cup for you."

"I'm also very aware that there are so many meaningless things in this world, such as conscience, morality, one's own principles, kindness towards others, and so on and so forth. If we throw away these meaningless baggage, we can live a relaxed and successful life."

"but……"

"It is these meaningless things piled up together that bring us together."

"I'm very happy to be able to sit on the ground with you, enjoy the breeze and chat, Anis."

The breeze blew the hair by her ears, but Anis did not dare to turn around to look at his face.

Because she knew that the commander sitting next to her was too dazzling, like a shining star, bright and dazzling. But the star that belonged to her had not yet shone brightly.

Anis was panicking, but as if she had made up her mind, she reached out her hand, grabbed the cup of brown sugar water and drank it all. But as soon as she drank it, she was burned by the scalding hot water and started screaming.

"Wow, wow, wow, it's so hot, it's so hot!"

"Drink slowly."

"Wow, I was trying to act cool, but now I'm so embarrassed."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Green looked at Anis's embarrassed look, chuckled twice, then reached out and held her hand tightly.

"Annis."

"No matter what, I will wait for you."

"Come on, we still have a lot to do together."

"Commander... well! Give me a moment, I'll catch up with you soon."

"Then... while Lavi and Nian are away..."

Under the shade of the tree, Anis sat in his arms and kissed him passionately.
