"I will, Guren."
"By the way, you always have to leave some gifts when you leave."
"Master, do you want my sweet lips, or a stick you picked up in the fields?"
Before leaving.
Honglian gave two gifts.
Of course, she had thrown away the wooden stick she picked up before she handed it to Green. She had no choice.
A farewell kiss.
Honglian had a reserved and playful look on her face. After whispering a few sweet words in his ear, she turned around and set off under the stars.
"Be careful on the road."
Green waved at her back, then turned back to his bedroom and lay down.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.
Accompanied by the rumbling of the elevator and the sound of "ding".
Another group of Nikkis from the Ark arrived at the base, and these three Nikkis, like Ileg and the others, came from different troops.
"Hi everyone, I'm Troni from the Electric Shock Force."
"Uh... I'm not good at fighting, so I probably won't be of much help if I run into Letcher. Besides, I can't walk, so I have to rely on this robot to move. But since it's mechanical, once I enter the crystal area, my power will probably be drained, and then I can only lie on the ground and wait for death."
"So, is it too late to write a suicide note now?"
Troni, sitting on a self-propelled robot, had a gloomy look on his face and muttered to himself: "Revision 256 of the will. Troni died in the Crystal Region due to being unable to move..."
"Huh? You can't walk? Is there something wrong with your legs?"
Anis twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and complained.
"No, my legs are fine, but I just can't walk."
"Bottom line, you could categorize this as a mental health issue," Troni explained.
"..."
After hearing Troni's explanation, even Nian and Anis, who were usually lively, were now embarrassed.
After a long silence, Anis managed to utter a few words.
"Seriously, does Nikki from Missilis have some psychological problems?"
"It seems that anyone who is Nikki sent by Missilis has at least some divine gold."
348
Chapter 348: Master, I’m about to take off!
"That... uh..."
"I'm Fragil, a member of the Pathfinder Corps, and I'm good friends with Liflin."
Troni had just finished introducing himself when Nikki, who was wearing a blue helmet and had her hair dyed yellow and black in two pigtails, spoke weakly.
Fragil.
Although Nikki is from the same unit as Levering, judging from her attire, Fragil looks more like a courier specializing in logistics. The faint dark circles under her eyes, the keys around her neck, and the small notebook she always holds in her hand all remind others of her identity and job.
But that's just the first impression.
Fragil gave people a somewhat gloomy feeling, but she did not have the timid temperament of Lieflin. Maybe she was simply not good at speaking in front of a lot of people.
"Oh, hello, hello."
"Miss Fragil seems like a reliable person. I'll trouble you with this mission."
Nian walked forward and greeted Fragil with a smile on behalf of the counterattack force.
Most of the time, it was she and Anis who were responsible for communicating with the newcomer, Nikki.
As for Lavi, she usually doesn't get too close to the Nikkis from other troops. Just saying hello is considered an acquaintance. As for why she is so distant, it's not because she is naturally cold and heartless, but simply because she finds socializing troublesome. It's better to let someone who is good at this do it.
"All right."
"Now that the two of you have introduced yourself, why don't you introduce yourself to the remaining girl who looks angry?"
Anis turned with a smile and looked at Nikki, the last person to come to support her.
Drillin.
She is not tall, and can even be said to be unexpectedly short. She looks like a flat loli, with short hair in twin ponytails, a sour face, and seems to have a bad temper.
However, despite his short stature, Drillin's equipment is more complete than Hamelin's.
Her personal equipment consisted of two impact drills, one on each side of her back, like exoskeleton armor. In addition to the drills, she also brought a large box filled with various tools.
"Have you finished introducing yourself? Then don't waste your time. I'm Drillin from the Hammer and Drill Corps."
Deerlin finished her self-introduction neatly, then opened her toolbox and threw several armor-like devices with thrusters to all the Nikki present: "Take this."
"See the hands and feet of this device? I think you know what it is."
"I see, this should be a full-body crampon, and it also has a small thruster on the back."
Rabbi recognized the device immediately.
"Yes, that's right."
Drillin nodded. "I've seen photos of that passage. It feels more like a tunnel. It's not completely straight, but has a steep slope. With these crampons, we can slide directly through the tunnel, just like skiing on a snowy mountain, and finally reach the bottom."
"By the way, this is equipment that Rita-senpai painstakingly crafted. Please use it with gratitude."
"Then let's not waste time and set off. However... Troni will stay behind to look after the base and provide remote support. She explained the reason earlier. It would be inconvenient for us to take her to the Crystal Region. Let her stay at the base. Maybe she can be of some help."
"Understood, Commander."
"Then let's go."
Green gave Troni some instructions and turned away without hesitation.
Everyone marched towards the crystal area again, and soon they returned to the elevator entrance again.
"Come to think of it, I still don't understand why there's an elevator in this place?"
"Could it be Letcher who built it? But I don't think they would waste their time building something like that."
Anis put on her crampons and looked at the bottomless tunnel below, muttering to herself.
"That shouldn't be Letcher's creation. Judging from its structure, the structure of this elevator is more like the technology of the Ark."
Troni's voice reached everyone's ears from the other end of the headset: "Of course, I can't be completely sure. After all, most things like elevators are pretty much the same."
Drillin: "Alright, focus. I taught you how to use crampons on the way here. Don't fall down mid-slide. Nikki's health won't kill her, but she'll probably lose some limbs."
Nian: "Yes, yes, yes~"
Rabi didn't listen to Nikki's chatter at all. Instead, he took the initiative to step forward and extended his hand to Green: "Commander, let me hold you."
Green was stunned for a moment: "Huh? No shoes for me?"
Drillin nodded and explained, "Of course. This passage is likely hundreds of meters long or even longer. Even a human skiing champion wouldn't be able to guarantee they wouldn't fall down the way. Since you're the commander, don't worry about it. Let Nikki, who has a good sense of balance, carry you down."
"My, my, my, Master chose me. I have a very good sense of balance~"
"Nian, you're talking nonsense, I'm obviously better!"
"Stop arguing and let me do it."
Before Anis and Nian could start arguing, Lapiy hugged Green from behind, and after he firmly grasped his shoulders, he jumped into the tunnel first.
sizzle...
The crampons rubbed against the passage, creating intense sparks, but Rabi's body still maintained a perfect balance, even though he was holding a living person in his arms.
Soon, Anis and Nian also followed from behind.
"Wow, Rabbi, you're so cunning!"
"Huhu, but this kind of skating feels really good!"
"Master, I'm about to take off!"
"Alas!"
The thrilling slide was over soon.
The Nikkis jumped out of the pipe and landed in a dim passage.
After Drillin and Fragil landed, everyone checked their luggage and confirmed that nothing was lost. Then they turned on their flashlights and walked forward along the passage.
The journey was not particularly smooth and there were some twists and turns.
First, Derillin, who was walking in the front, complained that this team was too cautious and that they should go to aid Hamelin immediately instead of dragging their feet here. Then he had a quarrel with Anis, who loved to bicker. When the quarrel got heated, he even accused the counterattack troops of abandoning Hamelin.
Fortunately, Nian was already accustomed to this kind of situation. She and Anis played the good cop and the bad cop respectively. Derillin was also a straightforward person. After the two apologized to each other, they were back to normal.
"They say birds of a feather flock together. No wonder Drillin is Hamelin's good friend."
"One of them has a hot temper and is straightforward, while the other is kind and warm-hearted. They're both the kind of people who work hard without any ulterior motives. Oh, and didn't Hamelin say they've been out of work for a while and can't find work? Why not just have them work at the base? This area has never been cultivated by the Ark, and we need more professionals to mine resources."
Green looked at Derillin who was walking quickly in front of him and couldn't help but say something casually.
"Commander, even if you want to transfer them, the central government will most likely not agree."
Xie Futi reminded her, "Basically, the vast majority of Nikki are assets of the central government or companies. Without orders from the government or companies, Nikki has no choice in personnel transfers."
“But the central government won’t prevent Nikki from doing odd jobs, right?”
Green smiled slightly. He had already figured out some loopholes in Nikki's personnel transfer.
"I've previously read some of the regulations and restrictions written by the central government regarding Nikki. They state that when the government doesn't assign her a job, she can apply for a deputy position in a company or take on various private commissions, as long as they don't endanger humanity or interfere with official duties."
"In that case, it's obviously normal for them to come to work at my station. It's not like I don't pay them."
"This... seems to be the truth?"
"We'll talk about it later, Xie Futi. Let's hurry up and get on our way."
"Okay, Commander."
We walked forward for a while.
As the long passage neared its end, Fragil, who had remained silent until then, finally spoke timidly: "Um, Commander... can I ask you something? Is it true that Lieflin participated in the exploration mission?"
"Of course, she came with us. What's the matter, Fragile?"
"..."
"Why did she join?"
Fragile's expression changed slightly, and then she asked anxiously.
"Huh? Why?"
"Maybe they don't want to live in such a lowly environment anymore, so they're trying to make a killing on the surface, to see if they can make a killing..."
Anis was stunned for a moment and answered the question for Green.
"Is that so? I understand."
"Thank you. Also, Commander, I hope you can lift the restriction that Nikki cannot attack each other."
"why?"
"Because... crystals are troublesome. If they get on you, you can only break them with a knife or a gun, so I want to be prepared in advance."
Fragil made a not very coherent excuse for herself.
Green saw through Fragil's thoughts immediately. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "If you and Levering have any grudges, please tell me and I will help you resolve them."
"..."
"Really? But no, Commander, you just need to lift the restrictions. Although I know this request may be a bit excessive, please... let me be willful for once. I promise not to cause any trouble."
"Since you said so, then okay."
Green nodded and issued an order to lift the restriction that prevented the Nikki from attacking each other.
