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

“No matter how many times I blow it, I never get tired of it.”

Green sat down on a small hill covered with flowers, looking at the misty blue sky in the distance, thinking about how to ease the awkward relationship with the person in charge of the park.

Just as he was lost in thought, a tall figure gradually walked out of the thick fog. Green turned around and saw that it was John who also got up early.

John, who had gotten up early for a walk, hadn't expected that the person sitting on the hillside would be him. The two looked at each other for a while before he sighed slightly and greeted him in a slightly cold tone, "Good morning."

Green nodded and greeted him: "You got up pretty early."

John smiled briefly. "Getting up early is a virtue. If Nikki in the Garden of Eden could get up early every day like you and me, I think we would have taken back the land long ago."

Green didn't pick up on him, but instead asked another question: "John, are you really the commander hailed as the Morning Star by the Ark sixty years ago?"

John was silent for a while, then said, "Why do you care about this?"

"Just pure curiosity."

"Yes, I am indeed the Morning Star. Also, since I answered your question, please answer one for me as well."

"What did the Ark say about me after I left it?"

"The data book says that you disappeared while performing a mission on the ground."

"Disappearing...that's ridiculous."

John found a rock to sit on and looked at the distant scenery with Green.

After a long silence, John finally spoke in a low voice, "Listen carefully, Green. The reason I disappeared wasn't because I met Letcher on the ground, but because the Ark betrayed me."

"After the failure of the Second Ground Reconquest War, as the highest-ranking commander, I was naturally brought to court-martial by the nobles of the Ark. Although that verdict did not completely bring my downfall, the Ark still needed a scapegoat, a sinner to bear the blame for the defeat."

"So, one night, they sent assassins to break my limbs and left me alone on the ground to die. Fortunately, not only did I not die, but I also survived in the Garden of Eden. But for that, I also paid a price."

John rolled up his sleeves.

There are no human muscles, no white skin and pulsating tendons.

The body hidden under John's clothes was without any flesh and blood, and was made purely of black metal parts.

"As you can see, I can't survive on the ground without my limbs. I can only accept the transformation of Eden and live as a robot from now on."

"This is the truth behind the so-called disappearance of the Morning Star sixty years ago."

"......"

After listening to his story quietly, Green looked at John with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, John. I'm deeply sorry for what Ark did to you."

John was surprised to see him apologize. "Apologize? Why are you apologizing to me? You weren't the one who persecuted me. You don't have to bear the responsibility for the crimes they committed."

"And the reason I tell you this story is to remind you, who is also the commander."

"You must be careful of the nobles and politicians of the Ark. They don't care how many achievements you have made. They only care about their own interests."

"understand?"

Green nodded.

He deeply agreed with John's advice.

Seeing him nod in agreement, John let out a rare smile. After all, it had been a long time since he'd met a human commander. Even if there had been commanders before, those arrogant commanders who had used Nikki as a tool had been rejected by Dorothy without exception, and died on the ground.

"You're quite capable, Green."

"I can see that you are a very capable commander, and your troops' combat capabilities are also quite high. But the only problem is that I think you and Nikki are getting too close."

"As a commander, I think there's nothing wrong with building a good relationship with my own Nikki."

"Besides, I think liberating the Nikki is also a very important part. If I can't gain the trust of the Nikkis and give them freedom, then how can we retake the ground? Rely on human beings' own weak bodies and inferior weapons?" Green also looked at John's face and asked back.

"You may have some truth in what you say, but the battlefield isn't a game. Excessive emotions will only lead you astray." John glanced at Green and offered another suggestion. "Let me give you an example. Imagine one day you find yourself facing a severely wounded and dying heretic, and Nikki, a close friend of yours who has been corrupted by Letcher. And you happen to have a tube of antidote. Who would you give it to?"

"No need to think, I know you will choose Nikki."

"But it's that emotion that can lead you to make the wrong decision."

John looked into the distance and murmured, "As long as Letcher is not eliminated, humans will never be able to return to the surface. After Letcher is eliminated, you will have plenty of time to do these things."

Green smiled helplessly. "I'd like to, but things don't always go as planned. Those Ark politicians you mentioned are already planning to take action against me. I'm weak and alone. If it weren't for Nikki and the others protecting me, I'd probably have died countless times already."

"Since this is the path you have chosen, I will not force you."

"I heard from Dorothy that you accepted the mission to destroy the fire dragon. I have led the Heirs to fight that girl several times before. She is a very difficult person. I hope you will not underestimate her."

"I will."

John brushed the dew off his clothes and stood up from the stone.

Before leaving, he seemed to recall something and added another instruction: "By the way, I know you have a close relationship with Isabel and the others. Although I am their commander, I will not interfere in their personal relationships. I will not care about what you two want to do. However, Eden Garden is very busy, and the Heirs have to go out on missions almost every day. If they need to go out on missions, I hope you can make sure they return to their posts on time."

"Okay." Green nodded.

Conversations between men are often very straightforward.

John just said whatever he wanted to say without hiding anything.

After the two discussed tactics for a while, John said goodbye to Green. "Green, it was a pleasure chatting with you. Next time I have time, I'll teach you some more tactics. Also, Eden needs people like you. If one day you become completely disappointed with the Ark, then come here. Believe me, there will always be a place for you in Eden."

"Ah."

"Then I'll be leaving too, John."

"I have to go see Dorothy."

"Dorothy...don't be fooled by her gentle appearance in front of outsiders. In reality, she's not some gentle and lovely angel." John's brows furrowed slightly at the mention of Dorothy. "Her calculating demeanor always reminds me of the faces of the Ark nobles, which makes me feel a little disgusted. Be careful with her and don't fall for her tricks."

"I'll pay attention."

"That's fine. See you tomorrow."

John waved his hand and disappeared into the mist.

Green looked back at him and walked towards the courtyard.

The Garden of Eden was as beautiful as ever, with blooming flowers and lush trees, giving it the feel of a greenhouse. Green pushed open the door and walked into the largest greenhouse in the garden, where he found Harlan cultivating plants.

The proud witch lady was carrying a kettle and carefully caring for several plants with strange fruits.

Green had no doubt that those fruits were the ingredients she would use to stew witch soup tonight.

"Good morning, Harlan."

"Morning."

"It's been a day since we last met. You seem a little off." Harlan blinked, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Would you like a bowl of witch soup?"

"I do want to drink."

"I knew you wanted to drink it, but unfortunately, I don't have the ingredients on hand right now. You may have to wait a while before you can drink it." Harlan smiled and pointed to the elevator in the greenhouse: "Dorothy is upstairs. If you're here to see her, go quickly."

"Aren't you going up with me?"

"Forget it. I don't like dealing with her. Besides, Dorothy doesn't like being disturbed. She always stands alone at the highest point of the greenhouse, as if she is missing something." Harlan curled her lips. Although she was also Nikki from the Garden of Eden, Nikki from the Heirs Corps and even John didn't seem to like Dorothy very much.

"Isn't she the boss of Eden? Why does it seem like everyone here has a bad relationship with her?" Green tilted his head and asked curiously.

"As for this question, you only need to talk to her for a few words and you will understand."

Harlan smiled and gestured for invitation.

Green also followed her wishes and took the elevator to the top.

Ding!

This greenhouse is the best-lit place in the courtyard. As soon as Green walked out of the elevator, he felt the warmth of the sun.

He looked around and saw beautiful flowers and lush green plants everywhere.

And in the center of this sunny greenhouse, the angel named Dorothy, who is as beautiful as a gem, is standing there quietly, enjoying the warmth of the morning sun.

Green looked at her back bathed in the sun.

For some reason, I felt a chill of loneliness coming from her.

"The face of an angel, the heart of a devil."

"It's a perfect endorsement, but inside it's full of scheming and dirty tricks..."

"Dorothy, are you really such a disgusting person as John and the others said?"

After thinking for a while, Green decided that he still wanted to contact her in person.

The Ark Succubus has always had a skin as thick as a city wall. He always believed that no matter how cold Nikki was, her core was warm, and just adding a piece of firewood would ignite this little torch of the soul.

Green quietly took a step closer.

But just as he walked behind Dorothy, she suddenly turned around and stared at Green with a pair of amethyst eyes.

After a moment, Dorothy calmly asked, "Mr. Green, I'm sorry for your sudden visit. What's the matter?"

"Or do you want to get back at me for deceiving you yesterday?"

"Do not."

"I'm just curious why you've been standing here."

Hearing his slightly pale approach.

Dorothy's lips curled up in a sarcastic smile. She turned around and said softly, "As a guest, why should you be concerned about such trivial matters? But since you are curious, I might as well tell you."

"This is the sunniest spot in this greenhouse."

“Just standing here, I can feel the warmest sunshine, and I really like this warm feeling.”

"Yeah..."

"But why do I always feel that your back looks a little lonely?" Green stared at Dorothy's back. He watched her standing alone in the sun, her shadow elongated by the sunlight, looking stubborn and dark.

lonely.

As soon as she heard these two words, Dorothy's face was no longer calm.

Just as Green said.

Even though she established the Garden of Eden and became the ruler of paradise, she still lived a lonely and desolate life.

Even the successor troops who were familiar with her rarely had a close relationship with Dorothy. There was no affection between them, and the relationship between the two sides was merely that of superiors and subordinates.

But Dorothy knew better.

She has to live so alone.

Because if she didn't do this, perhaps this long period of time would dilute the resentment in her heart and make her no longer hate Fang Zhou so much.

Chapter 4000: The fickle Doro ()

"Do you think I'm lonely?" Dorothy closed her eyes slightly and suddenly sighed, "For someone like Nikki, who has a long life, loneliness is the norm, right?"

"Do you mind if I chat with you?"

Green leaned against the fence next to the window, looking at the distant horizon.

Seeing him actually approach her, Dorothy couldn't help but smile. It was unclear whether that smile was sarcastic or resentful. After a slight pause, she said softly, "You really are as nosy as the rumors say."

"You didn't approach Nikki in the same way when you were at the Ark, did you? Haha, no need to explain. I've heard a lot about your romantic past from Isabel."

"However, I don't dislike your thoughtfulness."

Dorothy's mouth curled up.

Although she hasn't felt this way for a long time, she still likes the feeling of being cared for.

"Since we're here, why don't you take a walk with me, Mr. Green."

"Where are you going for a walk?" Green asked.

"I want to go to the ground to appreciate the flowers. Noah told me yesterday that she found a white flower not far from here. I really like that kind of flower. Would you like to go with me?"

"Let's go."

"Oh, by the way, the journey takes about five hours. Of course, this is calculated based on your walking speed. If it were me, I could get there in just over ten minutes." Dorothy smiled slyly. "Sir, do you still want to accompany me?"

Since when, she has become a little obsessed with the feeling of playing with other people's feelings.

Especially when she saw Green's slightly jealous expression, she felt extremely happy.

Green smiled helplessly.
