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

"Mr. Huaer, although it's an unreasonable request, could you help me this time?"

"Okay, but if there's any action at the base, I have to go back immediately."

Green nodded.

There was still some time to prepare before the next foray into the Crystal Region, and he happened to have nothing else to do, so he might as well settle all the matters on the Ark before going back.

“Haha, that’s great.”

"Thanks to Mr. Hua'er's help, the weight of the worry in my heart has fallen a lot."

"But I still want to go to the surface and look for a flower."

Flora put away her parasol, bent down, and gently put on the white boat socks and black leather shoes that were placed on the utility table next to the flower field onto her fair feet.

"I know Miss Cuidiehua's style very well. Even if she earns a good reputation, she may not be satisfied."

"The garden must produce more valuable plants to appease her dissatisfaction with us."

"So, Mr. Flower, I want to go to the surface to look for a valuable flower. Of course, since I've seen it before, I know roughly where it grows. If it's convenient, could you come with us as our commander?"

"of course."

Green readily agreed, but he soon noticed something strange in Flora's words: "We?"

The voice just fell.

There was a great noise of dogs running and jumping about at the garden gate.

Biscuit, Nile, and Leona.

The three Nikkis from the zoo troop came into the garden with a large group of puppies, jumping and noisy.

"Wow, it's Mr. Trainer! Why are you here too?"

As soon as the puppy Biscuit saw Green, his tail started wagging and he jumped up, giving him a warm hug.

"Ah, it's cookies."

Green smiled and touched Biscuit's head, then asked, "I'm here to help Flora solve her problems, are you too?"

"Yes! Miss Flora said I have a good nose, so she asked me to come and help her find flowers."

"But the garden can't be left unattended, so I called Nero and Leona to help, hehe~"

"Nero~Leona~"

Biscuit chuckled and waved to the members of the same unit behind him.

"Here comes meow."

Nile wagged his tail, but his eyes were fixed on the sprinkler drones flying around in the garden. As Nikki, the cat in the Happy Zoo, she was a little curious about this flying drone that could sprinkle water.

"Wait a moment, everyone. I'll find a place for Timi to sit."

Leona, the tallest of the three, greeted them and walked to the side, leading a big white lion that was almost as tall as her.

As the Ark's Happy Zoo Troops, as the name literally means, Biscuit, Nile and Leona are all Nikkis created with animal genes mixed in their bodies. Of course, unlike Polly who is not aware of her puppy attributes, these three members of the Zoo Troops are obviously not dissatisfied with their genes.

The reason may be that Tetra's treatment is too good. Nikki, who works under Mastin, is rarely dissatisfied with her salary and living standards.

Soon, Nile wagged his tail and tiptoed to Green's side.

However, when she saw Biscuit kept pestering Green, Nile's fluffy tail couldn't help but wag impatiently.

"Biscuit keeps pestering the minion."

"Humph."

"I want a hug too, meow."

Nero came over and hugged Green's other arm.

Of course, Biscuit was not angry at her jealous behavior. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Trainer has a pleasant smell. Don't you think so, Nero?"

Nile grabbed his sleeve and sniffed: "Sniff~ Hmm, it seems so, meow, it smells good, meow, but I can't tell what it smells like."

Biscuit wagged his tail and shouted excitedly, "Could it be the smell of dried sweet potatoes? Mr. Trainer, you don't have any roasted sweet potatoes in your pocket, do you?"

Nile: "Dried sweet potatoes are fine, but I prefer mashed meat, meow."

After Cat and Dog jumped around for a while, Green gave the dried sweet potatoes in his pocket to Biscuit. Then Nile and Biscuit stood aside and ate the sweet potatoes contentedly.

Looking at their energetic appearance, Flora couldn't help but gently support her chin with her fingers, smiled happily, and said: "It's great to see Miss Sunflower, Miss Lavender, and Miss Peach Blossom so energetic."

"Then, Miss Sunflower, Mr. Flower, let's go."

"Time is running out. If we don't find the flower soon, Miss Emerald Butterfly's patience will be exhausted."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Max, you better behave yourself here. I'm going to look for something on the ground. Please don't cause any trouble for everyone."

Biscuit happily wagged her puppy's tail and comforted a little dog named Max that she had been looking after.

I don’t know if it’s because of the puppy genes in her body, but she really cares about going for walks on the ground.

"Mr. Breeder, Biscuit, and Miss Flora, please be careful when you go to the ground."

Before leaving, Leona gave a few people some instructions with a little concern. As the most reliable Nikki in the Happy Zoo team, she was naturally concerned about everyone's safety.

"Don't worry, we won't be far."

"The area near the Ark elevator isn't usually home to very powerful Letchers, and Biscuit and I are both capable of fighting Nikki, so please don't worry too much."

Flora smiled slightly, opened her parasol, and walked out of the garden first.

"Don't we need to report to the central government before departure?"

Green and Biscuit hurried to keep up with Flora, and on the way to the elevator, Green couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"No, our botanical garden unit has a long-term ground exploration permit issued by Missilis. If we only want to go on the ground for half a day or a day, we basically don't need to report to our superiors. This allows us to dig and search for plants on the ground at any time."

"This is unexpectedly convenient. Missilis actually gave you special privileges."

"Mr. Hua'er, it's not a privilege. It's just that Miss Cuidiehua is too lazy to help us review these trivial matters."

Flora shook her head and explained.

If Nikki from Ark wants to go to the ground to perform a mission, she generally has to go through two aspects of review.

The first is the central government. Any dangerous mission related to Letcher must be approved and agreed by the deputy commander of the central government. As for some low-level missions that are not too dangerous, they are generally posted on the commanders' terminals by the operators of the central government, or regularly assigned to commanders who have not taken any work for too long.

The second is enterprises. Some CEOs who are directly under the enterprises must obtain the consent of their own bosses before being allowed to fight. This also means that even if the government has an order, the CEO can still disobey it and refuse to provide assistance to the central government, and vice versa.

However, for the sake of convenience, Shuen was usually too lazy to listen to Nikki's reports on trivial matters, so she simply waved her hand and approved long-term licenses for these mining, flower planting and research.

"That certainly sounds like something Shuen would do."

"So, what flowers are we looking for?"

"A flower called Aurora Bloom."

"Is there anything special about this flower?"

"Well... theoretically, it's a rare medicinal herb with high medicinal value. It can also be used to make perfume, but it's a bit difficult to cultivate. We once cultivated some in our garden, but they eventually withered because they couldn't adapt to the climate underground."

Flora explained, then took out a bottle of perfume and motioned Green and Biscuit to come over.

puff!

"Hmm, what is this?"

"This is a perfume made from the aurora borealis. Doesn't it smell nice?"

"Hmm~ It smells really good! A-choo!"

Biscuit sniffed her wrist, which was soaked in perfume. The strong aroma rushed straight into her brain, causing her to sneeze violently. "Well, sometimes having an overly sensitive nose is not a good thing."

"Perfume, in a place like the Ark, it must be something very valuable."

Green also smelled the perfume on his arm, but he didn't feel anything about it.

"In fact, ordinary perfume is not valuable. It's just that perfume made from flowers is very expensive. But because of this, wealthy people rush to buy it."

Flora put the bottle of perfume into her small bag and said, "Flowers are everywhere on Earth, but they are always a luxury in the Ark, a trendsetting trend."

“But our garden is not opened to grow flowers as an assembly line factory, but to preserve them until one day, we will let these beautiful flowers bloom again on the ground…”

"But this is also why the garden's expenses can never keep up with its income. We only have three people in our team, and we really can't spare more energy to run it."

Flora explained the reasons for the poor management of the garden with some shame.

Of the three Nikkis in their unit, two are usually out picking and exploring on the ground, while the remaining one stays in the garden to guard and conduct research.

Coupled with Flora's selfish motives, the garden project was not managed very well.

"Beautiful visions always lose to the reality of money, right?"

Green saw her embarrassment and smiled, saying, "I understand your thoughts, but no matter how beautiful the wishes are, they still need a material foundation to drive them forward. Without income, there's no economic growth. In the eyes of a materialistic person like Shuen, even the most beautiful flowers are useless."

"Yes."

"Who would have thought that these flowers would have to prove their worth to others in order to survive on the Ark..."

"But you can't deny that this is how each of us survives in the Ark."

"The elevator is right in front of us, let's go to the ground level."

About ten minutes later.

Ding!

The elevator door opened and returned to the ground again. Green looked up at the sky.

The weather today is not particularly good. The sky is foggy and clouds are rolling endlessly in the sky with the breeze. Looking into the distance, there is still an endless horizon.

The place Flora chose was a flat plain.

“Last time, I found the aurora in full bloom near here.”

"Then I'll leave it to you, Miss Himawari."

"Okay, leave it to my nose!"

Biscuit closed her eyes, raised her little nose, and sniffed everywhere.

“Sniff~Sniff~”

"Hmm, is this the direction? It feels like there's a really strong scent. Let's go this way!"

"Okay, let's go."

The three of them traveled through mountains and rivers and crossed the wilderness.

But as we walked in the direction that Biscuit had found, we saw few plants on the roadside, and instead we met Letcher.

"Wow, it's Letcher!"

"Don't worry, they're just weak Letchers. Let me plant them in the ground!"

Although Flora was dressed like an elegant young lady, her weapon was a machine gun with very powerful firepower. She fired forward for a while, and with the help of Biscuit, all the Letchers fell down.

"call!"

“Finally solved it.”

Biscuit put away his gun and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Because she didn't come to the ground often, she was a little nervous during this battle, but maybe it was the puppy genes at work. After defeating Letcher, she felt unexpectedly good and even wanted to brag.

"Well done, Cookie, Flora."

Green praised the two for their skillful fighting, then walked over and gently touched Biscuit's head: "Thanks to you, Biscuit, otherwise this battle would not have been so easy."

"Hey, hey, no, no! Mr. Trainer, I just did what I was supposed to do!"

"But the scent of flowers I smelled came from around here."

"Why is Letcher the only one here?"

Biscuit pursed his lips a little aggrievedly.

She didn't know why she followed the scent but ended up finding Letcher.

However, the answer to this question was quickly solved by Green.

"Look."
