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

"Then, there are only two days left."

"The holidays are almost over, girl."

On a sunny Sunday morning, Green stood in the center of the base, looking at the Nikkis lined up in front of him. He said seriously, "In three days, I will lead the counterattack force to explore the Crystal Region."

"The purpose of our exploration is simple: to discover the cause of the crystal region's formation. If it's an area worth exploring, the central government will spare no effort in sending troops to reclaim it."

"Of course, we might encounter dangers along the way. We might encounter Letcher, heretics, or even unknown creatures... If the situation becomes extremely unfavorable to us, I will immediately order a retreat and do my best to ensure everyone's safety."

"In addition, the central government has provided a list of personnel participating in this exploration."

Green pulled out his terminal, glanced at it, and said, "As usual, the troops participating in the battle are Labi, Anis, and Nian from the counterattack force led by me. However, since you three are not good at exploration and route finding, the central government has specially dispatched three Nikkis to support you, and there are three more Nikkis as reserve team members on standby at any time."

"And the Nikkis participating in this exploration mission are..."

"Hamelin from the Hammer and Drill, Lieflin from the Pathfinder, and Ileg from the Electric Shock."

"Well, honestly, aren't these troops miners, couriers, and hardware developers? Even if the central government sent reinforcements, they should have called in the Metis troops or special forces."

Anis couldn't help but mutter under her breath when she heard the names of several people's units.

Although Ark likes to quote allusions and make the names of Nikki's troops mysterious, putting aside those messy words, they can actually be summarized in a few simple words.

For example, the Aegis force is a naval force.

Special forces are special forces soldiers who are specifically responsible for handling various high-risk tasks.

As for the counterattack force, no one knew who they were counterattacking. In short, it was just a third-rate force consisting of a few small fry and cannon fodder.

"Actually, I've requested that the central government send special forces for support, but Yinhua and the others have been busy with other matters lately and are unable to be there for the time being."

After Green explained, he looked at the street behind him.

Ileg led two Nikkis who came to support and hurried to the scene.

After a brief chat, Green introduced the three of them to everyone.

"Well then, Hamelin, Leverin, and Ileg, say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone, I'm Hamelin!"

Hamelin is a tomboy named Nikki with short red hair and a slightly wheatish complexion. She wears goggles and holds a giant hammer. Her voice is surprisingly loud: "You are the counterattack force, right? It's nice to meet you!!!"

Anis: “Uh…”

Nien: "Hmm..."

Green crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "You sound a bit like Sandy."

When Hamelin heard the name Sandy, he immediately nodded and said enthusiastically, "Yes, Sandy is my idol! After all, the Extraordinary Tool Corps are all well-known veterans in our industry!"

Anis glanced at Hamelin's bizarre outfit and couldn't help but complain again: "Hamelin, I feel... your outfit is really casual. This is the first time I've seen someone wear a jacket with only sleeves."

"Oh, sorry! I'm a miner, and it gets really hot and stuffy when mining, so I usually dress casually for ventilation."

Hamelin explained a little embarrassedly.

"Nothing, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

"Then this is Levering."

Anis turned her gaze towards Levering.

If Hamelin gives the impression of a straightforward, outgoing, tomboyish miner, then the first impression of this courier is one of fashion and sophistication. At first glance, she's wearing the latest designer clothes.

For example, the white sports leggings, Anis could tell at a glance that it was the latest model of sports leggings from the "NIKKESPORT" brand.

This clothing brand company is a well-known brand that specializes in designing clothes for Nikki. But precisely because it is a "well-known" and "big" brand, every piece of clothing is extremely expensive. With Nikki's average salary, she simply can't afford to buy such big-brand clothes.

Levering was also stylishly dressed, with long blond hair falling to her waist and tied into a small ponytail with a pink hairband. Her jacket even had a phone holder for livestreaming, which held Missilis' latest smartphone. The shoulder bag she carried was also a designer brand.

To sum it up in one word.

Nikki, who was supposed to be delivering a package, doesn't look like a courier at all. Instead, she looks like a very wealthy fashion blogger who came to experience life on the ground.

"Is delivering packages so profitable now?"

When Agnes saw how Lieflin was dressed, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart.

"..."

"Sorry to interrupt you."

"Shefuti, please confirm the identities of these three people again."

Rabbi glanced at Lieflin's attire and was silent for a moment, but she made a cautious request.

Ever since the Ark bombing incident, Lavi has been very cautious, especially when facing those unfamiliar Nikkis. She would confirm the other party's identity and intelligence in advance. If there were any strange doubts, she would not let the other party approach her commander.

"Okay, Commander, please point the terminal camera at them. Can the three of you over there please look at the screen?"

"No problem at all."

"We are confirming the ID codes. They are indeed the three reinforcements sent by Ark this time."

"Ah, um, after confirming everything, is it finally my turn?"

Liflin smiled cautiously, then spoke timidly, "I'm Liflin from the Pathfinder Corps. Although I'm responsible for delivering couriers in the Ark, I'm responsible for exploring the path on this exploration mission."

"Eh? So you really are a courier?"

Anis wondered.

"That...haha, it's a little hard to explain, but..."

Rabbi glanced at Liflin and, with a slightly cold tone, helped her out. "Although we have a map, since we're exploring an unknown area, it would save a lot of time if we had a guide who's good at planning routes to lead the way. Liflin, I'm sure you, as a courier at Ark, must be very good at this kind of work, right?"

"Also, we are Labi, Anis, and Nian, who are part of the counterattack force."

"I know that everyone's names are already well-known among Nikki~"

When Levering heard the names of the men, he praised them exaggeratedly, as if he had met a celebrity idol: "Wow! I never expected to meet the members of the counterattack force in person. What an honor!"

"Not only that, Miss Rabi is really amazing."

"You explained it to me in just a few words. I was just wondering how to explain my role in this mission to you!"

"..."

"Really? Thank you for the compliment."

The corner of Rabbi's eyes flickered slightly.

Although there was no direct evidence, she could vaguely feel that the Nikki in front of her, named Lieflin, was most likely a liar who was good at acting.

As soon as Liflin finished speaking, Hamelin couldn't wait to join in: "Now it's my turn! I'm Hamelin from the Hammer and Drill Corps. I heard they're going to investigate the crystal area, so a miner like me is indispensable!"

"Whether it's quarrying or geological surveys, leave it to me!"

"Hamelin?... Ark's way of naming Nikki is really casual sometimes."

Green couldn't help but complain about the name Ark gave to Nikki. The word Hamelin obviously comes from the English word "hammer".

Nian had obviously figured out the origin of Hamelin's name, so she asked half-jokingly, "Since you're Hammer of the Hammer and Drill Corps, then the other member's name is Drill, right?"

* (Note: DRILL means drill)

"Hey, so you know Drillin!"

Hamelin exclaimed with a hint of surprise.

"..."

"No, is that really your name?"

"Uh... forget it."

"Hey, it's finally my turn. I'm Ileg from the Electric Shock Unit. Nice to meet you all. By the way, any mission involving electronic devices can be assigned to me!"

Ileg chuckled and introduced his name to everyone.

Anis didn't say anything this time.

After all, compared to miners and couriers, technicians like Ileg are the troops that Ark should support.

"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, let's make the final preparations."

"Let's pack up our supplies and head out to explore the Crystal Region. Also, Ileg, if you have time, come with me to check the elevator. It seems to have a problem and is stuck in the base, unable to return to the Ark."

Green greeted Ileg and walked away.

"Alright, Commander~ Hehehe, it seems like a technician like me is quite important in this base."

After Ileg sighed, he trotted over humming a song.

"Hamilin, Leverlin, your dormitories are ready. Go down this road to the first house. The key has the corresponding nameplate number."

Rabbi threw two sets of keys to the two of them and reminded them, "By the way, please abide by the rules when you are in the base."

"This is a military stronghold. No photography is allowed without permission. No photos of this location are allowed to be disseminated on any public platform of the Ark. Do you understand?"

"Of course!"

Hamelin picked up the huge hammer beside her and said with a smile, "You know, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore and excavate on the surface. I put a lot of thought into applying for this mission! Believe me, Miss Lapi, I will definitely not mess this up!"

"Me, me too."

"Well, please rest assured, I will definitely complete my mission!"

Although he also made a promise, Levering's tone sounded a little guilty.

"Well, you've come a long way, go and get some rest."

Rabbi simply nodded and turned away with the counterattack troops.

See her walk away.

After a long time, Liflin's tense body finally relaxed like a deflated ball.

As for why she was so nervous...it was because the way Lavi looked at her just now was a little scary.

Although Levering had seen Nikki, a tough soldier, no one had ever given her such a terrible feeling of oppression.

Especially the way Lavi stared at her just now. For some reason, Liflin could vaguely feel that she hated him.

"Aha……"

"I really shouldn't have come to participate in this mission."

Levering closed his eyes somewhat dejectedly, muttering to himself with a bleak expression, "I feel so stressed."

"Miss Levering, what's the matter with you? You look so dejected?"

Hamelin, who was standing next to her, said optimistically, "This is a rare opportunity to make a lot of money. Shouldn't we be excited?"

"Making a lot of money..."

When Lieflin heard these four words, the expression on his face became a little complicated.

But the simple-minded Hamelin didn't notice the expression on her face. Instead, he continued happily, "As miners, my friends and I haven't been out for a long time. The mineral resources near the Ark have almost been mined out. If we want to make money, we have to go to more dangerous areas to mine. But if we go to such places to mine, it is basically difficult to come back alive."

"So, Miss Levering, I cherish this opportunity!"

"Because this is ground exploration, rather than just mining, I can confidently mine some ore this time. If I make some significant discoveries, combined with the bonus from the central government, it might even cover my living expenses for several years!"

"Hahaha, that's right, I thought so too."

Levering smiled awkwardly and replied perfunctorily: "It would be great if there were some important discoveries."

"By the way, Hamelin, what is your impression of the counterattack force and that legendary commander?"

"Hmm? Impression?"

Hamelin thought for a moment, then sheepishly scratched his slightly flushed cheeks. "Honestly, I think he's quite handsome and easygoing! I read in the newspapers that he was a radical human rights activist who supported Nikki, but now that I've met him, he seems quite peaceful and friendly, completely different from what they described in the newspapers."

"But, people with his reputation usually don't look down on people like us, Nikki, right?"

"Haha, who knows, maybe he likes honest and decent people like Miss Hamelin?"

Chapter 337: The Four Beast Troops.

"Ms. Levering, you can't rely on the word 'maybe' to survive in a place like the Ark."

Hamelin smiled gently and said, "If we don't work hard, miners like me will have nothing to eat."
