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

"Oh, you're in such a hurry to leave after just meeting me? Snow White used to be a very cute child, how come she has become so cold and heartless now?" Rapunzel said jokingly with a smile on her lips.

Seeing his dark history being brought up again.

Princess Snow White sighed slightly and unreasonably cut off the topic: "Stop talking nonsense, Rapunzel, I have a lot of things to do. Chatting is not on my schedule."

"Well then, everyone from the Ark, please explain your purpose."

Snow White extended her black mechanical arm and pointed at Green and his group. "I hope you're not here to engage in pointless persuasion. You should know that we pioneers have our own missions on the surface. No matter what, we will not return to the Ark."

Anis curled her lips and complained, "Snow White, the Ark is a place where, let alone you, we can hardly stay here either."

Snow White hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't often pay attention to what happens on the Ark, so is there something wrong with the Ark?"

"Well, I don't understand politics very well, but according to the commander, Ark is ready to get rid of the donkey after it has served its purpose."

"Kill the donkey after it's done its work..."

Hearing this idiom, the three Nikkis from the Pioneer Corps fell into deep thought.

Honglian pulled a bottle of wine from her bosom, drank it, and leaned against a tree, reminiscing about the glorious past. Rapunzel closed her eyes and prayed, her thoughts unclear. Only Snow White, after a brief moment of contemplation, opened her eyes again.

"I'm sorry for your current situation, but like I said just now, we can't interfere with any decision of the Ark."

"So, besides this, is there anything else you want to find us?"

"Snow White, you should know about the antidote." Green didn't beat around the bush and stated the purpose of the meeting directly: "I have only one request. Tell me the location of the antidote research institute."

After hearing his purpose, Snow White thought for a moment and said, "It seems that after the Divine Punishment War, Ark also found some information about the antidote, which is why you want to inquire about the antidote research institute."

"I see. Let's go to the room over there and talk."

Snow White led everyone to an abandoned cottage.

Although there was dust in the room, the table and sofa were clean. Apart from a pungent musty smell, there was basically nothing wrong with it.

"Wow, it feels like this room is even colder than outside." Nian couldn't help but shiver when she walked into the room. Her reaction also caused Snow White to question: "If you are Nikki, can't you just turn off the body temperature sensor?"

"But if I turn it off, I won't look like a human anymore!"

"That's true, but when living on the ground, it's better to forget those things." Snow White swept the dust off the chair and sat down at the table. She took out a can of expired pineapple from her arms and started chewing it.

"The shelf life of that can is over sixty years."

Across the table, Green saw the expiration date engraved on the can. The food stored in the can had expired about sixty years ago.

"Don't worry, Nikki can digest any form of food, even rotten food. We can use our bodies to decompose it and obtain the necessary nutrients from it." Snow White wolfed down the expired pineapple into her mouth.

Seeing that she was really hungry, Green took out an apple from his pocket and threw it to her.

"Here, take this, the Ark's specialty apple."

"Well, isn't the Ark underground? How come there is fruit there?"

Snow White took the red apple and couldn't help feeling confused.

She had been away from the Ark for a long time and had no special impression of the place. Naturally, it was hard for her to imagine that there would be apple trees growing in the Ark.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Green explained, "Human society often relies on wealth, and the Ark is no different. As long as you have money, you can enjoy a variety of delicacies every day, not just apples."

"That's quite good, so will you let me eat this precious apple?"

"We owe you one, Snow White."

"If you hadn't given us the antidote, we wouldn't have been able to defeat the divine punishment, let alone take back Marianne."

"......"

"You're welcome. I just did what I should do." Snow White picked up the red apple in her hand, took a bite with a snap, and the cool sweet taste came along the roots of her teeth.

It’s a really refreshing taste.

Snow White thought to herself, and the solemnity on her face faded a little.

She stared at Green's face and said, "For us, the antidote is not a particularly important thing."

"but..."

“For Ark, it is a disruptive technology.”

"The fragile relationship between humans and Niki is maintained precisely because of the existence of Nimph. They are like two ends of a scale, with Nimph as the pawn to maintain balance. The emergence of the antidote will destroy this fragile relationship. It's no exaggeration to say that if the Niki of the Ark knew that you possessed the antidote and that you could one day achieve true freedom of thought, you only need to raise your arms and they will respond."

"So... Green, it's not that I don't trust you. I know you. That's why I want to ask you, why do you want the formula for the antidote?"

"In order to prevent my girls from getting hurt again," Green looked at the confused Marianne in the room and said, "I must have the leverage and strength to fight against the Ark, Snow White."

"Against the Ark?"

"What outrageous remarks, young master!" Honglian's lips curled up slightly, a willful arc forming. "If the humans on the Ark heard your words, they would probably immediately bring you to court-martial and sentence you to death by beheading."

"That's a realistic yet somewhat idealistic answer." Rapunzel stroked her cheek and smiled. "But I don't dislike your behavior, brother. On the contrary, I'm a little bit looking forward to it."

"Niki and humanity have been stuck in the past for too long. Perhaps this sick world really needs a drastic dose of medicine."

"So, I agree to tell you about the antidote. What do Snow White and Red Lotus think?"

"In my opinion, there's no harm in telling him." Honglian has always been open-minded and cheerful. "Even if we've kept it a secret until now, we still need to tell others about it. I don't want to hinder the changes of the times. After all, no matter what, the young master is definitely on Nikki's side. I never doubt his position."

"What about Snow White?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Snow White.

She, who was never good at speaking, sighed and said, "Since you two have agreed, do you still need to ask for my opinion?"

Rapunzel chuckled and said, "Of course, Snow White must agree to surpass half of us, right? Dorothy doesn't care about these things anymore, and Lilith, Little Red Riding Hood, and those people from the past are no longer with us."

"Little Red Riding Hood?" When Rapunzel heard the name, she was slightly stunned, but she quickly suppressed the surprise in her heart.

"Since you've all said so, I have no objection." Snow White nodded. She was a very reasonable person. After all, for pilgrims, the antidote wasn't necessary. "You already know the effect of the antidote. Besides dissolving nimph, it's also used to fight heretics."

"The neutralizer can destroy the nanomachines within the heretics' bodies, temporarily eliminating their regenerative abilities. Therefore, for the heretics, any object stained with the neutralizer is fatal, making it the ultimate means of killing them."

"Were the removers distributed to everyone as supplies?" Rabi asked.

"That's not something that everyone can get their hands on, Rapunzel. The disinhibitor was discovered by accident and requires special processing to be made into bullets." Rapunzel explained to her.

"What do you mean by accident?"

"During our battles with the heretics, we unexpectedly discovered that a certain person's blood could cause a very severe blow to the heretics, even directly dissolving their immortal golden bodies."

"Blood?"

"Yes, it's blood."

"That means the antidote is made from someone's blood!" said Anis.

"Yes, but that person doesn't live in this era. He lives in the distant past, even back to the time when Letcher first invaded. We can't reveal any more information about him."

"why?"

"Because there's something wrong with our memory," Snow White explained. "I've had a mind shift, and I can't remember most of the details of what happened in the past. All the information you just heard was told to me by Rapunzel."

"That...that's outrageous!"

"The first invasion by Letcher dates back over a hundred years. Are there really humans in this world who can live that long?" Anis shouted dejectedly, "Are we destined to return empty-handed again this time?"

"Don't worry, girl."

"In the far west, there is a research institute that refines blood into bullets. There are still antidotes there. There should be a few tubes left. As for the formula, it may still be stored in the computer." Rapunzel said as she recalled.

"Where is that research institute?"

"Go west from the Ark. The research institute is hidden at the end of a huge lake." Snow White answered truthfully.

"Then let's go now!" Nian couldn't wait to set off.

"No, I advise you to rest up before rushing over. The Letchers there are not of the same level as the Letchers you encountered before. In addition to a large number of Lord-level Letchers, there are also a bunch of troublesome Tyrant-level Letchers lurking. If you want to go there to find the formula of the antidote, I suggest you make sufficient material preparations before considering moving forward." Snow White pointed to the empty can of pineapple on the table.

"I'll send you the detailed coordinates later."

"Thank you, Snow White." Green sincerely thanked her for her selfless help.

"There's nothing to thank me for. Even if we get to the research institute, I can't guarantee that you will be able to find the formula."

"And don't forget, Green."

"From the moment you discover the crafting method, your enemy won't be limited to Letcher," Snow White warned. "Humanity will tighten its control over Nikki out of fear, and Nikki, yearning for freedom, might revolt against them. If you fail to manage your position properly, you'll be degraded from a hero of the Ark to a traitor hated by all overnight."

"I understand." Green nodded solemnly.

"I understand. The key to the new world has been entrusted to you. From now on, the decision is entirely up to you." Snow White said solemnly, "The Pioneers have their own mission to fulfill. Besides, we don't understand the politics of the Ark, so we can't help you further."

"It's okay, just trust me, everyone."

"Ark, Letcher, whatever stands in my way, I will crush it completely." Green replied domineeringly: "For my Nikkis and the counterattack forces, I will move forward."

"Wow, you're worthy of being the Master, so handsome!"

"Commander, you are becoming more and more domineering." Rabi praised with a smile.

"Commander, go ahead and make the Ark tremble. Once we get the antidote, we will trample all those guys who have made things difficult for us under our feet! Of course, the death penalty is still too lenient. I suggest that all their property be confiscated! Anyone who has any connection with those powerful people will have their assets confiscated clean. By then, we will have endless money to spend!" Anis imagined the future proudly.

As we all know, the fastest way to become rich, besides working hard, is to kill!

While others were still flattering them, Anis couldn't wait to start slaughtering those powerful people who liked to disgust them.

Chapter 69 Snow White's Special Training

"Anis, do you think we can overthrow the powerful people of the Ark with just a few of us?" Nien was a little unsure about Anis's outrageous statement. "Just thinking about tens of thousands of mass-produced Nikkis surrounding us makes my legs tremble."

"What are you afraid of? We've already come this far. It's too late to turn back, Nian."

"It doesn't matter who I hit." Anis's eyes became sharp, like a soldier with boiling blood. "No matter what, I don't want to be a muddle-headed soldier all my life, dying in obscurity on the battlefield. At least let me be a rich man for once, or even rob a rich man's house."

"As expected, Anis is only so proactive when encountering this kind of thing." Nian complained.

After chatting for a while.

Snow White turned her gaze to Marianne in the corner.

The girl was playing with a Rubik's Cube and was not paying attention here.

"What's the girl's name?"

"Marian."

"Well, even though this isn't our first encounter, seeing her face actually makes me feel a little scared." Snow White stared at Marianne's innocent face, but she felt a lingering fear in her heart. "I have a question. Has her memory really been erased?"

"Ah."

"But Marianne still occasionally dreams about memories from the past," Green said. "What do you think about this situation?"

"I'm not sure, but I have to remind you, Green, that nimph is still an unknown black box technology to the Ark. Even the Ark hasn't been able to fully explore its functions. Therefore, it's normal for various unexpected situations to occur."

"I see." Green frowned and thought for a while. If what Snow White said was true, then nimph obviously could not be a technology developed by humans. If it was not developed by humans, then it was most likely Letcher's technology.

Seeing Green's frown, Snow White suddenly added, "One more thing. Considering your current situation in the Ark, I'm sure many people are coveting the heretic beside you."

Green nodded. "Yes, the situation at the outpost has reached rock bottom."

"Hit rock bottom..."

"It doesn't surprise me at all."

Snow White didn't show any surprise, as if in her impression, humans were always so arrogant and scheming. But even so, she still said, "I can provide Marianne with a place to live on the ground for a long time, but it depends on your opinion, Green."

"Thank you, Snow White, but I can't live without Marianne." Green nodded in thanks, but rejected her kindness: "No matter what the Ark's attitude is, Marianne is my exclusive Nikki, and no one can take her away from me."

"Ah."

"I appreciate your decisive answer." Snow White nodded approvingly, then raised another concern: "But even the most resolute attitude is nothing but a paper barrier in the face of power and ambition."

"Green, the path you have chosen is full of thorns."

"If you want to protect Marian, you must possess greater strength and a deeper trump card. Attitude alone is not enough."

"I understand." Green replied seriously.

"Very good, as long as you understand. If you want to learn how to use anti-ship rifles from me, I'd be happy to take you to the wilderness to train with some Letchers." Snow White extended an olive branch to Green. "I happen to be able to spare some time recently. Are you interested?"

"Of course I can."

"Then let's get going without further ado. Also, I must remind you that my training is very strict."

"You must always be alert and determined to survive in Letcher."

"Of course, I have no doubt about your faith and strength, Green."
