Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

As the host on TV counted down for the last time, the clock on the wall also made a clanging sound, as if announcing the arrival of the new year to everyone.

"Happy New Year!!!" Angel walked to the dining table, lifted the tablecloth, and used the shining halo on her head to show everyone the various desserts on the table.

"I tried my best today." Neng Tianshi proudly picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite. "It's a good performance as always."

"Exia, this is the first time I see you making desserts other than apple pie." Croissant came to the dining table and glanced at the desserts on the table. Basically, you can say that all the common types of desserts are there.

"Hehe, this is called hiding one's true strength~" The Angel of Exiah put her hands on her hips, "How is it? Doesn't it taste good?"

"It's much better than the food you cook." Xiyue picked up a piece of egg tart and took a bite. "But this egg tart has too much sugar. It feels a bit too sweet."

"No way, I feel fine~" The Angel of Exorcism also picked up a piece of egg tart, "Isn't this okay?"

"I think it's a bit sweet too." Croissant also picked up a piece of egg tart, "But it's okay."

"I think it's because the Angel has been marinated in sugar." Kong Ye picked up a piece of dessert that didn't seem to have that much sugar and started eating.

"In that case, all the saktas are actually marinated in sugar!" Archangel Nero picked up a piece of apple pie.

"Oh, right." Angel suddenly remembered something and slipped back to the kitchen. After a while, he took out a azure blue gift box from the kitchen.

Finally, the Angel of Power was unusually shy and handed over the gift box, "That Xiyue... Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Angel." Xiyue chuckled and took the gift box handed to her by Angel. "Can I open it now?"

"Yeah." The Angel nodded repeatedly, "Of course, it's made for you."

Xiyue untied the ribbon on the gift box and gently opened it. In the middle of the gift box was a piece of exquisite chocolate cake.

"I wanted to make a blue one, but the blue cake looked weird." Angel looked at the cake in Xiyue's hand, "So I decided to choose a more classic dark chocolate cake."

"Thank you." Xiyue raised her hand and touched the head of the Angel, then picked up a spoon from the table beside her and scooped a piece of meat. "Hmm~ It tastes good."

"There's also mine." Kong beside him quietly handed over a gift box, "Open it and take a look~"

"It seems like you are all ready?" Xiyue looked around and saw that the people around her seemed to be hiding something behind their backs. She put on a smile on her face and walked to the sofa beside her with the cake that was given to her tomorrow.

She put down the cake in her hand, took the gift box handed to her by Kong and opened it. Inside the gift box lay a set of exquisite cosmetics.

"This is a new cosmetic product released this year. The theme is rose." Kong said with a smile, "Although Xiyue never seems to wear makeup, I think girls should still have a small set."

"Rose?" Xiyue looked at a bottle of foundation in the gift box with a rose-shaped lid, "This little thought is quite obvious, Kong."

"Thank you, I'll try." Xiyue nodded to Kong, then put the gift box aside, "It's you next, Croissant."

"I don't have that much thought, and I don't know what to give." Croissant scratched his head, "But I still have my own little way."

Then Croissant handed over a small card simply tied with a ribbon.

"Is this a movie ticket?" Xiyue took the thing handed over by Croissant, a little confused.

"That's right." Croissant nodded. "There are 12 tickets in total. You can watch any movie with seats available at the cinema in Pacific Place. One ticket per person. The validity period is only this month."

As Croissant finished speaking, Xiyue immediately felt a chill down her spine. She looked around and found that almost everyone, except Croissant and Hong, who didn't really like watching movies, was staring at the dozen tickets in Xiyue's hand.

Xiyue glanced at Croissant, who was smiling as he put the ticket into his windbreaker: "With this gift, I feel like I'm going to be restless again."

“…” Texas took a deep breath and handed over the gift box in his hand, “Here.”

"What is this?" Xiyue opened the gift box and looked at the clothes inside. "Clothes?"

"Yeah." Texas nodded. "You said last time that the clothes Muerses gave you were not suitable for regular wear. And you only have that one windbreaker, so I still think it would be more appropriate to give you a few sets of clothes that you can wear regularly."

Texas discovered that Xiyue didn't seem to like wearing that cheongsam very much. After Muirseth left, Xiyue didn't take out the cheongsam, and it seemed that she just kept it in her closet.

"Thank you." Xiyue nodded to Texas, took the clothes, and prepared to hang them in the closet later. She could try them on in the next two days. It seemed that it was not good for her to wear a windbreaker all day long.

Ghost Shark also came over with a small gift box and stuffed it into Xiyue's hand.

"Don't be so anxious." Xiyue touched the ghost shark's head, opened the gift box, and revealed two wooden sculptures inside. "Is this sculpture of me?"

There are two wooden sculptures in the gift box, one is Xiyue wearing a windbreaker, and the other is Xiyue standing on one leg, wearing a cheongsam and holding a fan.

"Hehe, how about it? Let's restore it." Ghost Shark had a smile on his face, "I spent a lot of effort to carve it."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ghost Shark." Xiyue touched Ghost Shark's head and decided to place the root carving on the table in his room.

Hongzi, who was standing by, jumped into Xiyue's arms with a small bottle in her hand, and held the bottle in front of Xiyue: "Mom, this is Hong's gift."

"Is this a tooth?" Xiyue looked at a tooth in the cup.

"Yeah." Hong nodded, then opened her mouth and poked her pointed fangs with her fingers, "This is Hong's tooth, mommy needs to keep it."

"Okay, okay." Xiyue chuckled, touched Hong's head, and put the teeth on her hand into her clothes.

Skadi, who was standing aside, looked very embarrassed when she saw the gift-giving queue in front of her. She had not prepared any gifts at all. After all, she had just returned and had no idea about this.

And Ghost Shark didn't tell her that he would give her some gifts today.

Xiyue looked at Skadi, who was twisting her hands and looking very embarrassed. She stood up, walked over, and patted Skadi on the head: "What's wrong? Does Skadi feel something is wrong?"

"Woo~" Skadi looked up at Xiyue, her expression even more embarrassed, "Well, I didn't prepare a gift."

"So, what's the matter?" Xiyue touched Skadi's head, "I know you just came back, so it's okay. If you are willing, you can do it in the next few days."

"Woo." Skadi looked at the Ghost Shark for help. She really couldn't think of what gift Xiyue would like, so she could only look at the Ghost Shark that had already prepared it and ask her for help.

The ghost shark on the side gave Skadi a calm look, indicating that she should wait and talk later.

Chapter 135: Each other's New Year's time

—————A rental house near Longmen and the Guard Bureau—————

"Yeah, it's the New Year." Chen swung his dragon tail and lay on the railing of the windowsill, looking at the fireworks rising outside, "It's the new year."

Chen did not live in Wei Yanwu's house. Because of the conflict between her and Wei Yanwu, she resolutely chose to live in a rental house nearby with the salary from the Guard Bureau.

"It's still a bit cold." Chen exhaled lightly, rubbed her hands, turned and walked into the room. She had no interest in setting off fireworks, just watching.

It would be best if there were no safety issues caused by the fireworks. Speaking of accidents, the guys from Penguin Logistics have not caused any problems for a long time under Xiyue's supervision.

In any case, in recent months, no reports have been received regarding gang fights, bomb explosions or similar incidents related to Penguin Logistics.

Therefore, Officer Chen said that his mental state and blood pressure have been pretty good in the past few months. After all, Penguin Logistics, the largest problematic gang in Longmen, finally has someone who can manage them.

As for Miss Xiyue, Chen was worried for a while at first after he knew Miss Xiyue's true identity, but after a few days of observation and thinking, Chen decisively threw this worry to the wind.

Apart from anything else, Miss Xiyue is not the type of person who would cause trouble. She is completely different from guys like Penguin Logistics who use the name of a legitimate company to do illegal things.

So for quite a long time, Officer Chen felt that Miss Xiyue could be anywhere, but it was unlikely that she would appear in a place like Penguin Logistics.

But now, it doesn't matter. It's a good thing that Penguin Logistics has someone to discipline them. It will be a great help to the security of the entire Longmen.

Not to mention that Miss Xiyue herself had the slums of Longmen, oh no, now it should be renamed the Preparatory Factory Area, back under her jurisdiction.

As for now, the slums may have some opinions about the fact that the place where they originally lived may be razed to the ground and rebuilt into a factory area, but it will be worth it.

Of course, the counterpart is that Chen and her friends will have to bear a lot more responsibilities, and in this process, some of the original gangs from the slums will inevitably cause trouble.

Of course, there are gains and losses. Once the slums are fully built, they will become a safer environment, and some infected people will get corresponding jobs, which will be much better than their previous lives.

As Chen was thinking, she picked up a letter from the table. Judging from the folds on the letter, she seemed to have read these letters many times recently, so that the letters were placed on the table almost within easy reach.

"I don't know what the situation is like in the little tower now?"

—————Chernoborg Seaside District——————

"Come on, bring this wooden board over here." A shield guard directed several snow monsters to put the board down. "Come on, put it down."

"So why am I here to add fuel to the fire for you?" Tallulah sat on a chair that she had found out from somewhere, and boredly stretched out her hand to spit out flames, heating the iron rods on the stove that she had recovered from somewhere so that they could be connected together.

"Who told you to be the only one with free time now?" Frost Star sat on the chair she had frozen, smiling as she looked at Tallulah who was bored beside her.

"We need a fishing ground. Simply going into the sea to catch fish is useless." The patriot at the side took off his armor, revealing full muscles under the simple clothes.

"I know, I know, you just said that, but I still don't quite understand you. What's the point of having me weld steel rods here?" Tallulah shrugged. "You can't possibly make an extra-long fishing rod."

"Of course not." The Patriot shook his head, "We need a huge fishing net, not an extra-long fishing rod."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to weld so many steel frames."

"Hey, Tallulah, stop complaining. We haven't had anything other than weapons in the past ten years." A shield guard pointed at the ropes in his hand and said, "We are still making fishing nets here."

"Hey, braid it more densely. If you braid it so sparsely, do you want the fish to escape later?"

"Someone come and pull me up!" Suddenly, a shout came from a house not far away, and a snow monster was grabbing the water that was still on solid ground and shouting to the people on the shore.

"Here it comes." The snow monster who was staying on the shore pulled his companion up and looked at the big fish in his hands that was almost half as tall as him.

"Oh my God!" The yeti looked at his companion in surprise, holding the big fish pierced by a knife tightly in his hands.

"Alas, he's been chasing me for most of the day." The snow monster looked at the big fish in his hand, "He's really fierce. If I hadn't seized the opportunity to stab him, I would have died here."

"Is it edible?" A snow monster next to him couldn't stop drooling and quickly wiped it off.

"I don't know, but it should be good." The snow monster picked up the big fish in his hand and rushed outside. Even the cold wind could not stop his happy mood at the moment.

"Sister, sister, look what I caught?" The snow monster excitedly held up the big fish in his hand.

"You went down without permission?" Frost Star showed a hint of joy when he saw the big fish in the snow monster's hand, but then he saw the wound on the other's shoulder and looked displeased.

"We have to go down and take a look." The snow monster shrank his neck after being looked at by his elder sister. "Look at such a big fish. I can see more than one down there."

"According to this head." The shield guard who was weaving a net, after seeing the size of the fish, looked at the net in his hands with an embarrassed expression.

Even if they could weave a net with the hemp ropes in their hands, given the weight of the big fish in the yeti's hands, the fish would probably break the net they had worked so hard to weave with just a little struggle.

"...I'll go down and take a look. If we can catch more, we'll need to make a thicker net." The Patriot took a look at the huge fish in the Yeti's hand that was almost half a person's height.

Originally, he thought that the fish here could not be too big, so he used the hemp rope to support the net for a while and then found a more tensile and wear-resistant rope to weave another one.

But now it seems that the fish here are extremely large. If you use that kind of hemp rope, you may not be able to catch anything at all, and it will only be torn apart by the rushing of these big fish.

"Old man, be careful. Don't go down and drown yourself at your age." Frost Star looked at Patriot with some concern.

"It doesn't matter." The Patriot stretched his muscles and then looked at the shield guard beside him.

The shield guard who was being looked at understood instantly and drew out his saber and handed it over: "Captain, be careful."

"Don't worry." The Patriot squatted down, took a few pieces of hemp rope from the fishing net that was still being woven and tied it around his waist. If possible, he wanted to catch a few more today.

"This old man has nowhere to use his energy." Frost Star shook his head helplessly. Ever since Xiyue cured most of their illnesses, the Patriot has been in a state of having nothing to do and even wanted to find something to do.

It is obvious that the patriot intends to stay here today and will not come ashore unless he catches a few fish.

Of course, there is something more important now. Shuangxing looked at Tallulah who had come to the big fish and said, "Tallulah, can you open the pot?"

"Here we go." Tallulah was already prepared. She rubbed her fingers together to light a flame. "Come on, find a pot and some wood. No, let's do a barbecue!"

—————Rhode Island · Doctor's Office——————

"Why do I have to sit here during the New Year?" The doctor looked at the documents he had finally finished with tears in his eyes, and then turned to look at Amiya who was already drowsy. "You can't stand it anymore, but you're still staring at me."

"Hmm~" Amiya shook her head, "It's okay, has the doctor finished it?"

"Well, it's done." The doctor nodded. "Well, it's finally done. You guys have a lot of problems that need to be dealt with, right?"

"Well, because, because there is really no other way." Amiya looked at the doctor, "There are many problems that neither Dr. Kal'tsit nor I can handle, so we can only put it aside and deal with it later."

Amiya did not plan to check the documents processed by the doctor. She would send them one by one to the various departments below for processing tomorrow.

"I've been sitting all day." The doctor stood up and stretched his waist slightly, picked up the brewed coffee beside him, drank it in one gulp, and felt the warmth coming from his body.

The doctor felt that her life these days was saved by Xiyue's coffee. This little rabbit was really a top-notch exploiter. The number of documents every day was really outrageous.

Fortunately, he finally finished before 12 o'clock, and she managed to get at least six hours of sleep, probably.

Originally, the doctor thought that since she had slept for such a long time, she might not feel sleepy for a long time. However, Amiya and Kal'tsit told her with facts that as long as a person is tired enough, he will feel sleepy at any time.

The doctor drank the coffee in one gulp, casually placed the coffee cup on the table, and then collapsed on the sofa beside her. The capable feminine temperament that she had revealed when handling documents gradually transformed into the temperament of a lazy and lazy person.

"Doctor, if you want to rest, it would be better to go back to your room and rest." Amiya pushed the doctor with some concern.

"Ah~~" The doctor collapsed on the sofa, letting out a slight whine from his throat, "Amiya, can you give me a massage? I'm so tired."

"Then Doctor, lie down?" Amiya thought for a while, and the doctor seemed to nod, and instructed him to lie down on the sofa.

Upon hearing this, the doctor immediately turned over and lay down on the sofa. In order to ensure his breathing, he propped up his head with his hands and looked out the window.

He was slightly lost in thought as he looked at the night view of Longmen outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, but then, Amiya's hands fell on the doctor's shoulders, and the doctor immediately let out a cry of pain.

"Si! Amelia, be gentle, be gentle!"

"Hold me, sorry, I haven't given you a massage for a long time," Amiya immediately relaxed her strength and added, "If you want, you can go to Longmen to play tomorrow. The important work has been done. You may have a few days off next week, probably."

"Your voice must have made me panic~" The doctor lay on the sofa, muttering weakly, "I'd better stay in Rhodes Island. Speaking of which, that garden seems to be very interesting, but I haven't been there yet."

"That's the healing garden that Miss Perfumer and her friends are in charge of." Amiya looked at the doctor and reminded him with some concern, "Doctor, don't pick flowers casually when the time comes. Miss Perfumer will sometimes use them to make aromatherapy for her own use."
