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

"Let me shine once more."

After hugging and kissing for a long time, she whispered in his ear.

……

Autumn is high and fresh.

A month has passed since humans established the first base on the ground.

With the full help of the Extraordinary Tool Force, after a month of renovation and construction, the base has now become a small town. Basic living facilities such as hospitals, elevators, supermarkets, restaurants, power stations, and water plants have been built and can be opened for use with just a little manpower.

The transport elevator between the Ark and the base has also been dug through.

Although there is only one elevator for the time being, this is a good thing for both parties.

First of all, Green did not want Ark to interfere too much in his own stronghold, and Ark did not want to offend him as a commander with great reputation. Apart from some basic material transportation, the central government did not make any other instructions. In short, the attitude from above was probably the same as letting things run wild.

Just do what you can. We won't give you too much support anyway. Whether you can achieve success depends entirely on your luck.

Of course, if you really do something practical, the central government will not miss the opportunity to reap the benefits. After all, this is the value of a commander. Who doesn't like to be a cannon fodder who takes the initiative to go to the ground to fill the line?

After understanding the attitude conveyed by Ark.

Green took the elevator back to the Ark and brought several Nikkis who were still stranded at the outpost to the ground.

"What a cool breeze, and the sky is so blue, it feels much bluer than the eternal sky."

"Instructor, is this the ground?"

Kirti looked up at the blue sky. It was the first time she saw such a beautiful scenery.

"Yes, welcome to the surface. From today on, this will be our new base. Although it may not be as lively as the outpost, it will probably become a real city in no time."

Green nodded and pointed to the dormitory complex that had already been built for Nikki and the others. "That's your dormitory. It has water, electricity, beds, and all the necessary appliances and facilities."

"Because there's plenty of land, the living environment is better than the dormitories at the outpost. Anyway, pick a room you like and live there."

"This kind of living environment is like heaven to Nikki. Master, it's been a long time since we last met. Thank you for your concern."

Ed walked forward gracefully, holding up her skirt and performing standard maid etiquette.

"Nothing much. The Extraordinary Tool Troops are the ones doing the hard work. I'm just standing by and giving them orders, getting in their way."

"Okay, enough of this. Gilti, Ed, go find your own rooms. Just let Sen take care of the outpost."

"Understood, instructor."

After arranging accommodation for the two.

Green took out the terminal that was vibrating in his pocket.

As soon as the screen was turned on, what came into view was a familiar cute face, light blue hair, and white headphones. It was none other than Miss Shefti, the operator assigned to the high-level commander by the Ark.

"Shefuti, why did you suddenly send me a message? Is there some urgent task?"

Green asked.

"Commander, since you are the first person to explore the surface, the central government has assigned me as your dedicated operator, specifically responsible for guiding you to explore the surface. From now on, I hope you will be able to guide me."

Shefty explained in a sweet voice, and then, as if remembering something, she quickly whispered, "Of course, please don't worry too much. Deputy Commander Anderson has already instructed that if any valuable intelligence is obtained during this ground exploration, it will be kept secret from the other deputy commanders and not disclosed."

"So please don't worry."

"I understand. I'll trouble you again in the future, Shefty."

"We are planning to explore the Crystal Region next. Do you have any suggestions in this regard, Shefty?"

Green inquired.

"Commander, if you're planning to explore the Crystal Region, it would be best to contact some Nikkis who are skilled at navigating and exploring the way, and have them temporarily join the team. In addition, I think it would be best to bring one or two Nikkis who are skilled in technical tasks, keeping the total number around 1 to 2. This should help us quickly advance our exploration."

After calculating on the screen for a while, Xie Futi expressed her opinion.

"Okay, then please post the commission on the Nikkis' terminals. If there are suitable Nikkis who sign up, have them take the elevator directly over."

"Understood, Commander!"

"Surface exploration is very dangerous. Do you think anyone will come, Shefty?"

"Although ground exploration is indeed dangerous, the rewards are five times higher than regular missions. Moreover, if you can pick up some valuable items and bring them back to the Ark, you can sell them to wealthy collectors in exchange for a considerable amount of credit points. I think a lot of Nikkis will sign up!"

"Ding ding ding... I never expected that someone would sign up after I just posted the commission!"

331

Chapter 331: The dual-core body remaining on the ground.

"Sorry, Commander, I have to process the application form now. Please take this opportunity to make some preparations for the exploration."

"Okay, Shefti, I'll contact you then."

"Yes! If there is anything urgent, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Communication with Shefty was cut off.

Green was just about to discuss the preparations for exploration with several members of the counterattack force, but at this moment, his cell phone vibrated again.

"Which one?"

"Who else? Of course it's me."

Shu En's savage and sarcastic voice immediately rang out from the other end of the line: "I've received the news. Your ground base has been built, right? Humph, it's thanks to the help of the Extraordinary Tool Corps that you've achieved what you have today. Otherwise, you'd just be staring at the cold wood and stone on the ground."

"So the CEO of the great Missilis called just to insult me and take credit for it? Thank you so much, is that okay?"

Green held his cell phone between his shoulders, opened a bag of compressed biscuits and started chewing while leaning against the tree trunk.

Shu En, on the other end of the line, heard his insincere thanks and immediately showed annoyance on his face: "You rude fellow! Please understand, I sent the Extraordinary Tool Unit to help you with your infrastructure despite so much public pressure! Missilis's corporate image has plummeted, so you must be responsible for this, right?"

"I'm just a small commander. How dare I take the blame for this?"

Green scoffed and said, "Alright, let's stop rambling and get back to the point. Have you made any progress on the task I asked you to do last time?"

"Your request is about Nikki named Lavi in your unit, right?"

"She has another core in her body, and she can use the power of both cores to unleash unparalleled explosive power."

Shu En jumped onto her chief recliner, turned around comfortably, and then asked: "So what are you going to do? Strip the other core out of her body and then add a new body to it? Don't be ridiculous. Even if Nikki still has a core, she won't be able to move without a brain."

"Is there really no way to act?"

"Isn't that nonsense?! You idiot! Use your little head, worn down by Nikki's drum, and think carefully. To Nikki, the brain is their most important organ. Without it, even if the body and core are repaired, it will ultimately be just an empty shell. While this empty shell might retain some of the original's muscle memory, it will be completely impossible for it to move independently."

"If you ask such stupid questions again, I won't bother to tell you. You won't understand anyway, so it's like talking to a cow."

As soon as Shuen talked about technical issues, he became anxious.

As an experienced researcher, she felt that explaining Nikki's organ to Green was like a mother teaching her stupid child to do elementary school math problems.

"Everyone has their own areas of expertise, so please be patient."

Green rarely used a pleading tone. In terms of Nikki's technology, there were not many people he could rely on. Cecil was one, and Shuen was only half. After all, when doing business with her, he had to be careful.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll spare a little of my patience and listen to your silly proposal."

When Shu En heard that he would actually beg him in such a humble manner, his face, which was originally a little angry, immediately became beaming.

She propped up her tablet and tapped it twice before continuing, "So, you want to resurrect another Nikki by recreating a body for the second core within Rabbi, is that correct?"

"But the problem is, that core is gone."

"What, it's gone?"

"Well, of course. Ingrid thinks she's hiding her little secret well, but the entire Ark's internet is under my surveillance. I can definitely get my hands on her little intelligence."

Shuen proudly showed off Missilis' powerful intelligence system, but she was soon choked.

"If Missilis really had such a powerful intelligence network, how could it be completely breached by someone like Krau? Then your intelligence network is really third-rate."

"That, that was just an accident! Tsk, forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you."

"Back to the topic."

"Since the core in Rabbi's body has disappeared, although we don't know why, it's impossible to use that core to rebuild Nikki's body. Unless you have a spare."

"A spare?"

Green fell into deep thought.

He still remembered what Ingrid had said before, that the Little Red Riding Hood core in Laby's body was like an incurable tumor. No matter how many times her body was recast, the Little Red Riding Hood core would strangely grow back.

But since Little Red Riding Hood voluntarily disappeared, the core that originally belonged to Little Red Riding Hood in Rabi's body also disappeared and never appeared again.

So there shouldn't be any spare cores, right?

"Wait a moment."

"A spare body."

"..."

"(I remember a long time ago, Rabbi accidentally died on the ground. That time, Anis ran away holding her head, but her body still remained on the ground.)"

"(Is there still a core of Little Red Riding Hood left in that body?)"

Green pondered for a moment, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

Dual-core technology, the headless body remaining on the ground... If that body had not been destroyed by the Ark, it would probably have been picked up by Letcher by now.

"Shu En, I'm going to hang up for a moment. I need to confirm something. Let's talk later."

"What's going on? We were just chatting happily, what are you hiding from me? Hello? Hello?!"

To confirm whether your idea is correct.

Green immediately called Rabbi.

Lapi, who had just returned from patrol, saluted Green and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Commander, what do you want from me all of a sudden?"

"Ravi, were you once injured in a battle on the ground, and your body was left on the ground?"

"Well, it should be."

"Has your body been recovered by the Ark?"

"No, because it was a rather dangerous mission, so it probably wasn't recovered."

"That means that until today, your body is still on the ground."

"..."

"Things might be getting a little tricky."

Green's frown made Rabi feel a little confused.

"Commander, have you heard any news?"

"Nothing, maybe I'm just worrying too much. Go back and continue patrolling."

"learn."

Watching Rabi go away.

Green picked up the phone again and turned on the mute button.

"Shu En, let's put aside the proposal I told you about before."

"Huh? You've been talking to me for so long, but now you're giving up?"

"Never mind. I don't care. Do whatever you want. And don't die on the ground. Got it?"

Shu En's tone softened for once.

"I didn't expect that the CEO of Missilis would actually care about people. Is this the end of the world?"

Green raised the corner of his mouth slightly and teased.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just worried that if you die, no one will speak up for me in front of Anik, okay? Don't be so self-righteous. You're just a stupid civilian commander, huh."

Shu En snorted and hung up the phone first.

After hanging up the phone, she did not immediately put the matter behind her. Instead, she tapped her tablet and summoned Mana, who was still sorting documents.

"Master Shuen, what's the matter?"

"Go get me the combat records of the counterattack force, especially those that include Nikki's casualties. Transfer every one of them to my phone. Got it?"
