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

"Whoo~"

"what--"

Green's tent had not been set up yet. As soon as he put down a few sleeping bags, Hamelin lay down on her sleeping bag, fell asleep with a peaceful look on her face, and even snored.

"No."

"Did she fall asleep so quickly?"

Green's mouth twitched slightly.

He had seen people with good sleep quality, but he had never seen anyone fall asleep so quickly. The mentality of this young miner lady was simply ridiculous. You have to know that this was not the Ark, but the ground full of dangers. Basically, no one would fall asleep as quickly as she did, or even sleep so soundly.

"Haha, Mr. Commander."

"From what I know about her, Miss Hamelin is a very kind person. Seeing her sleeping so soundly, even I feel a little sleepy."

Ileg, who was fiddling with his tablet, winked and said, "Ahem, um... before bed, do you want to play BOOM together? I've modified this game so that you can play it with two players now, Commander."

"Anyway, there's nothing to do right now, let's relax for a while."

Green didn't refuse.

"Great! Speaking of which, Commander-sama is so busy. Don't you know that Final Fantasy has released a new version? You're the only one on our team who's often absent right now. Miss Maiden always complains to me, saying she's not used to coordinating with the MT in the wild team, and then she starts to lose focus and play badly."

Seeing that he agreed, Ileg suddenly started complaining again: "A few days ago, I played a wild team with Aikoshia, Medden, and Troni all night long!"

"And guess what~"

“There’s no way I can get through this!”

"My teammates on the wild team are just like wild people. They can be destroyed by any weird mechanism!"

"It seems that this family can't do without me."

Green's lips curled up slightly, and he said, "Don't worry, once I finish my current work, I'll go over the book with you guys."

"Oh, by the way, remember to tell Maiden to help me complete the limited-time seasonal quest."

"Hey, hey, no problem, Mr. Commander, I'll help you set up the tent."

After hammering the ground nails, spread the sleeping bags, food and canned food on the table.

In the dim tent, besides Ileg and Green looking at each other, the only sound was Hamelin's snoring.

"Um, um... Mr. Commander, can I ask a question?"

"Just don't ask me about the color of my underwear. Of course, if you really want to know, I don't mind telling you."

"Of course not the color of my underwear. That's some weird joke, haha~ Uh, anyway, I wanted to ask, what do you think of me, Commander?"

Ileg scratched her cheek with her fingers, her face slightly red, and she suddenly asked.

"Ileg?"

Hearing this question, Green re-examined Ileg's outfit.

"Um……"

"Your look reminds me of a character in a comic book. What's her name... Uzaki-chan?"

"Commander, I'm not talking about the appearance!"

"That's what I'm talking about!"

340

Chapter 340: A roar of energy from Ileg.

"Well."

"So, Ileg also cares about what others think of you? I thought you were a natural optimist."

Green stood up and put a high-capacity battery into the desk lamp he carried with him. In the white light, he rested his head on his pillow and gently lit the game console that Ileg took out.

"Hey, actually, I don't particularly care about other people's eyes."

Ileg also took a pillow and sat next to him, then said, "Well, how should I put it? I usually do some electrical maintenance work, and when I have free time, I play games, so my social circle is quite small. So I also want to know what kind of person I am in the eyes of Mr. Commander."

“Funny, cute, and always full of wonderful ideas.”

"Of course, it would be better if you didn't install BOOM on all my electronic devices every time we meet."

Green raised the corner of his mouth and teased with a smile.

"Hey hey hey~ That won't do, Mr. Commander!"

“BOOM may not be the greatest game in the world, but it’s definitely one of the best!”

Ileg's mouth curled up, revealing two small fangs. "But even good wine needs a bush. Gamers these days are obsessed with playing those triple-A blockbusters every day, while ignoring the classics. This is simply a waste of resources, don't you think?"

"Well, that's true. When an industry reaches its peak, like the current crop of triple-A blockbusters that constantly pursue high-quality graphics, most of them are actually not as fun as the classics of the past. What do you think went wrong with those games?"

Green nodded and asked her back.

"Good question, Mr. Commander!"

As soon as the topic of games came up, Ileg became excited.

Her eyes sparkled, as if a switch had been triggered, and she continued, "Why aren't games fun anymore? Commander, in my opinion, these games lack a bit of soul!"

"soul?"

"Mr. Commander, you know there are many games in this world, but not all of them are fun. Some are terrifying, some are suspenseful and brain-teasing, and some are exquisitely crafted and beautiful. It can be said that it is precisely because these games capture their soul that players are willing to buy them."

"Of course, besides the soul, I think the most important thing in the game is fun!"

"Games are designed to be played, but if they aren't fun, who would play them?! That's why BOOM is always my #1 game! It's just amazing!"

"..."

"Oh, sorry, Commander, I just get a little too excited when I mention BOOM."

Ileg scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled.

"Everyone has their own favorite things, and I understand that feeling."

Green smiled faintly and said, "But for me, no matter how fun a game is, it's only fun when I play it with good friends."

"Yes, that's why I keep recommending you!"

"It's such a pleasure to play games with Commander-sama. Hehehe, you're pretty good at it, too. If our team wasn't around without you, I think it wouldn't be long before we all broke up."

Ileg gave a silly laugh.

"Let's play a little longer tonight."

Green simply responded.

"okay!"

"Oh, and I also brought some powerful energy drink! It's a treasure Miss Esther gave me. She said one sip will make you feel refreshed, like you've unleashed a hundred times the Kaio-ken!"

"Commander, here's one for you too!"

There was a pop.

Ileg pried open the bottle cap, looked up and grabbed the can of special energy drink and started chugging it.

Just as Green was thinking about taking a sip, Ileg started yelling.

"Ohhhh...it's worthy of being the energy drink Miss Esther gave me. I feel full of energy! I can even see things clearly now!"

"Mr. Commander, hey, hey, let's have a showdown and see who has the higher score this time... eh?"

"What's going on? I suddenly feel dizzy..."

Before he could finish his words, Ileg fell into Green's arms with a dazed look on his face.

This sudden change scared him.

"Ileg?"

Green reached out and gently patted Ileg's face.

But she kept her eyes closed and did not move.

"Is it the drink?"

Green took out his cell phone and contacted Esther.

——Esther——

Green: "Esther, Ileg suddenly passed out after drinking the energy drink you gave him."

Esther: "You came to me late at night just for something like this? Huhu, you're really boring. Okay, so it was Ileg who drank the powerful energy drink I made specially and passed out? You stay by her side and help me check on her."

Green: "His eyes were closed, but his breathing was steady. He was unconscious, and no matter how much I slapped his face, I couldn't wake him up."

Ethel: "Do you have a fever or flushing?"

Green: "A little bit. I felt her palms were burning."

Esther: "Well, I understand. How should I explain it to you... Anyway, this is to be expected."

Green: "From what I know about you, you must have put something in that drink, like computer parts?"

Ethel: "How could that be possible? I just added something to the energy drink to stimulate Nikki's senses, but now it seems that it was a bit too stimulating."

Esther: "Don't worry, the fainting is only temporary. She'll wake up after a good night's sleep, but she might sleep for a long time, maybe a whole day and night."

Esther: "Aren't you going to do something during this time? A man like you who likes Nikki would definitely not miss the opportunity to sneak around and touch her, right? Huhu~"

Green: "Have I really reached the point where I would attack a fainting Nikki?"

Esther: "Hehe~"

Esther: "You're the only one who knows what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't judge your hobbies. It's perfectly normal for men to have some hobbies. I understand."

Ethel: "Oh, by the way."

Ethel: "I have a way to wake Ileg."

Green: "What method?"

Ethel: "Nikki has sensory regulators installed on most of her body. If you turn off the sensory regulators, she will wake up immediately."

Green: "Where's that sensory modulator?"

Ethel: "How should I know? I wasn't the one who created her."

Ethel: "It could be on her hands, legs, or even her butt. As for why, it's to prevent Nikki from changing her mind. These sensory devices are usually installed inside her body, not on the surface. You need to press and hold a certain spot on her skin to adjust it."

Esther: "If you're in a hurry, just feel her all over. Safety on the ground is the most important thing, right?"

Ethel: "Of course, if it's you, I still have faith in your character."

Ethel: "Just don't disturb me from sleeping over such trivial matters anymore. I've been working for half a month straight, okay? If it weren't for various reasons, I would have resigned from Missilis long ago and lived a leisurely life."

Green: "That's true, but a mad scientist like you would get bored quickly if you had nothing to study, right?"

Ethel: “That’s true.”

Esther: "Thank you for your feedback. I will develop a more practical energy drink next time, hehe~"

Green: "Please make something serious."

Esther: "Science requires letting go of baggage, bold innovation, and a team of willing guinea pigs. Doing research by the book will only get you fired at a place like Ark."

Esther: "By the way, I just learned from Shefty about the ground exploration report you sent back."

Green: "Huh? You already know that?"

Esther: "The information on the exploration mission is public. Any researcher can ask the operator for information on their progress and discoveries. Of course, if the central government is unwilling to disclose certain secret information... then we have no way of knowing."

Green: "What do you think of the crystals we found?"

Esther: "Based on the data I have, there's no mineral in the world that matches that energy-absorbing crystal. It's probably a man-made artifact, and there's a high probability that the heretics on Letcher's side created some kind of ore using their special abilities."

Green: "You also think it was created by heretics?"

Esther: "It's just a guess. The Ark has collected a lot of information on heretics over the years, and it's not hard to see from these data that heretics are also intelligent creatures. Perhaps among these heretics, there will be a few inventors who are as passionate about learning and scientific research as we are."

Ethel: "But it's not ruled out that it was something tinkered with by the pilgrims."

Esther: "In short, we need more information before we can continue our analysis. Considering that the crystals exhibit plant-like habits, I will contact the lady from the Botanical Gardens Corps to see what she has to say about this."
