Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Oh, I played a game of chess with your second brother." Xiyue touched Xi's head, "So I also contributed, but I wasn't slacking off."

"It was Second Brother who dragged you over there, Xiyue, right?" Nian was ready to expose Xiyue's trick immediately, "But it seems Second Brother didn't have any other solution."

"Forget it, it's over anyway, but I still have a question to ask, what was the result of the chess game, Xiyue, will you be beaten up?"

"No~" Xiyue shook her head with a smile on her face, "I won, and won a great victory~"

"Second brother, are you letting me win?" Before Zhengnian could reply, Xi beside him shouted. In her memory, although her second brother was crazy, he was indeed very good at playing chess.

As for Xiyue, Xi did not find any chess equipment in Xiyue's room. Although there were some playing cards under the table in the hall, they were obviously brought by the angels and placed in Xiyue's room.

As for other chessboards, there were no such things in Xiyue's room. So how could a beginner beat Wang, who had been studying this for hundreds of years?

"Nothing is impossible." Xiyue raised her hand and flicked Xi gently. "I really don't know how to do it, but I don't need to know how to do it. I just need to know the rules."

"After all, the so-called Go is just a game between two parties, a game with a limited number of moves. As long as I don't make mistakes, I won't lose."

"After all, Miss Xiyue has calculated all his steps. In this case, there is no possibility of losing." Ling also appeared from behind the few people at this moment, "Oh, by the way, I have sent those friends back to them."

"Have you figured it out?" Nian, who was standing aside, seemed to be thinking about it. "I see, there is really no possibility of losing. Pure strength has defeated accumulated skills."

"I don't know what expression my second brother would have on his face at that time?"

"No expression~" Xiyue looked at Nian and smiled, "I just calmly accepted that I lost. There are wins and losses. Is there any special expression needed?"

"That seems to be true." Nian nodded, but his face was still happy. "But I still want to see my second brother's hesitant expression. After all, he caused such a big mess for us."

“But the game is not over yet…” At this moment, on the distant mountain road, a man in a red robe came back with Zuo Le and Tai He.

"Everyone." The red-robed man took off his hood and saluted with both hands, "Grandmaster invites you."

——————Rhode Island——————

"So you all came back?" Kal'tsit pinched the bridge of her nose and looked at the three people in front of her with a headache, "Is Dayan really so relieved?"

"Who knows~" Xiyue smiled, "Maybe I just found a place to put it, and let them travel~"

"Travel?!" Kal'tsit's tone gradually became louder, "Miss Xiyue, are you talking about these two?"

"Anyway, there are too many debts, so don't worry?" Xiyue thought for a while and comforted Kal'tsit, "After all, haven't Nian and Xi been added for a while?"

"..." Kal'tsit pinched her nose again, took a deep breath, and sat back in the chair. She had to say that what Xiyue said seemed to make sense.

Yes, if there is too much debt, there is no need to worry. Aren’t there enough mobile nuclear bombs on Rhodes Island? But... oh... if there is too much debt, it is time to worry!

“Huh…” Kal’tsit took another deep breath, calmed down, and looked at the person standing behind the three people on the other side. “So, Miss Jingzhe, why did you come to Rhodes Island to work?”

Jingzhe looked at Kal'tsit and said, "First, I was ordered by the Grand Master to come to Rhodes Island to supervise the fragments of the Year Beast. I think I need a job to cover up my work. The fragments of the Year Beast should not be known to most ordinary people."

"Hmm..." Kal'tsit nodded. She could understand why Jingzhe wanted to come to Rhodes Island. If no official from Yan Country came, Kal'tsit would only be more panicked. Kal'tsit just didn't understand why Jingzhe wanted to join.

And Kal'tsit also roughly understood from this the attitude of Yan Country towards the three fragments. After all, they only sent one person from the Dali Temple over.

How can I say that it is a perfunctory thing? It is hard to explain if there is no one to monitor, so I just randomly put one in...

At this moment, Jingzhe suddenly said, "Also, I hope Miss Kal'tsit will include me in Rhodes Island's combat team."

"...Why?" Kal'tsit looked at Jingzhe, "If you need to join Rhodes Island to gain an identity to reduce other people's misunderstanding of you, I can understand."

"But how will joining our Rhodes Island's combat team help Miss Jingzhe's work?"

"Because I need to contact someone." Jingzhe looked at Kal'tsit, "and to contact that person, I think it will be easier if I can join Rhodes's battle team."

"...Who?" Kal'tsit looked at Jingzhe, "Who is the person Miss Jingzhe wants to contact? I need to know who it is and why."

"I can decide whether to agree to Miss Jingzhe's request, and decide which combat team to assign Miss Jingzhe to, and what search authority to grant her."

"I understand." Jingzhe nodded. "What I need to investigate is an unsolved case in the Dali Temple, and the person I need to contact is Huang, the elite operator of Rhodes Island."

"Four murders, four eras, three children, three clues, two families, two factions, one time, one mastermind, and Huang is the only one of the children I can get in touch with."

“………” Kal’tsit tapped her thigh lightly with her fingers, wondering whether to agree to Jingzhe’s request. After a while, Kal’tsit looked up at Jingzhe.

"I can agree, but I also hope that Miss Jingzhe won't cause too much trouble to Operator Huang. She has her own life now."

"I understand." Jingzhe nodded, then took out his resume from his bag and handed it to Kal'tsit, "This is my resume."

"Yes." Kal'tsit took Jingzhe's resume and said, "Ms. Jingzhe, it will take some time for you to start work. Now, Miss Jingzhe can go to the guest lounge area of ​​the accommodation area and stay in the vacant room in the morning."

"Thank you." Jingzhe bowed slightly to Kal'tsit, then picked up his bag and left the office.

"Sure enough..." Kal'tsit looked at Jingzhe who was leaving. Logically speaking, even if she had just said that, Jingzhe should have been sitting aside waiting.

And now, Jingzhe's departure also proves the general attitude of Yan State. Well, forget it, no matter what happens now, it's just like Xiyue said, the more debts you have, the less you worry.

After solving Jingzhe's problem, Kal'tsit looked at Xiyue and the others beside her and asked, "Where do you plan to live, Miss Ling? Are you going to live with Miss Nian?"

"Compared to the New Year~" Ling touched his chin and thought for a while before speaking, "I would rather live with Xiao Xi~"

Kelsey nodded but changed her tone: "Oh, I can't arrange this. You have to ask Miss Xi and Miss Xiyue."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ling turned his head and looked at Xi who had turned away, "Xiao Xi, why don't you explain~"

Chapter 198: Leisure and Playfulness

"There's nothing to explain." Xi turned away, "It's just inconvenient, and there's no place for you to live in. Find a place to live by yourself."

"Oh, even if it's a single room, I remember that you, Xiao Xi, also like to live in paintings~" Ling put his arm around Xi's shoulders, with a teasing smile on his face, "As for the single room, it would be a waste if you don't live in it, so let me live in it~"

"Or is it a pity that I didn't apply for my own house in Rhodes Island, but in～"

Ling looked to the side, and saw Xiyue who had slipped to the small table beside to drink tea. "I live with Miss Xiyue~"

"Why are you so talkative..." Xi turned away again, not looking at the teasing smile on Ling's face, "Anyway, there is no place for you, go find a place to live by yourself."

"It seems that I guessed it right~" Ling Liangran nodded, and finally turned to look at Xiyue, "Miss Xiyue, I'll leave my sister in your care~"

"Okay, Miss Ling~" Xiyue raised her head, held up the teacup filled with tea, and teased, "I will definitely take good care of your sister~"

Xiyue knew that Ling was just teasing her, but it wasn't a bad thing, so Xiyue and the other guy joined in.

As expected, Xi blushed and looked at Xiyue: "Xiyue, don't follow Ling and make trouble!"

"Haha~~" Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle when looking at Xi's angry face, making Xi's face even redder.

"Hahaha~" Ling patted Xi's shoulder with a smirk on his face, "Okay, I was just joking, don't be angry~"

"..." Kal'tsit, who was sitting at the desk, looked at the beautiful scene in front of her silently. She silently poured a cup of coffee from the coffee pot beside her, put two sugars in it, stirred it slightly, and took a sip.

Then, Kal'tsit sighed silently, and said in her heart: "There are more giant beasts..."

After a not-too-long period of calm, Kal'tsit was able to calmly accept the possibility of living on this ship.

Maybe it's just like Xiyue said, there's no need to worry about too much debt. Anyway, Rhodes Island really doesn't need these two people for its mobile nuclear bombs. Putting aside other things, Xiyue next to them is already heavyweight enough.

"Well, forget it since it's inconvenient." Ling scratched his head and looked at Kal'tsit beside him, "Is there a bar here in Rhodes Island, or other places where we can drink?"

"Yes." Kal'tsit nodded. "Next to the cafeteria, Rhodes Island has a special bar, but I still want to remind you about the drinks..."

Kal'tsit subconsciously wanted to admonish him, but the words she was about to say were suddenly stopped in her mouth. After all, anyone could make mistakes due to drinking, but the person in front of her...

Kal'tsit sighed again: "Bars in Rhodes Island will provide appropriate alcoholic beverages, but please do not drink with operators who are working."

"I understand, I understand~" Ling nodded, "Well, I think the bar should also allow me to buy some wine to drink at home, or is it only allowed in the bar?"

"There is no such rule." Kelsey shook her head. "Any other questions?"

"No~" Ling shook his head, "Then please trouble Dr. Kal'tsit to arrange a room for me that is closer to the bar and, if possible, a more remote and quiet room."

"I'll try my best..." Kal'tsit's mouth twitched. Being close to the bar means being close to the cafeteria. How could a room close to the cafeteria be remote and quiet?

“Please~”

——————Accommodation area·Rhode Island·Yuzuki's room——————

"Yeah." Xiyue pushed open the door, stretched at the door, tapped her fingers lightly, and the windbreaker on her body was taken down by the water clone. Then the remaining water formed a blue casual suit on Xiyue's body.

Ah! Xi, who had followed back with a red face, also followed Xiyue's example and changed her clothes into something more suitable for home use.

Xiyue, who was directing the water clone to hang the windbreaker back on the coat rack, turned around and looked at Xi: "It's almost time for dinner, what are you going to eat today?"

"Just something light is fine. Anyway, that guy Nian is not here." After returning home, Xi also became a little more relaxed. "Anything is fine, as long as you are doing it."

"Okay, okay~" Xiyue smiled, "Apart from other things, you seemed very happy after knowing that you had to go out to work."

"Of course~" Xi put her feet on the coffee table and said cheerfully, "I am of course happy that the guy who was always thinking about making trouble has left."

"Well, I suddenly want to know what kind of person is the old Taoist priest that Taibo wants to exchange for?" Xiyue touched her chin, "I hope I can meet him sometime in the future."

"There's nothing to see." Xi seemed to recall some bad memories, and curled his lips, "These humans who are distorted and rely on Originium for longevity are really unpleasant..."

"Twisted immortality?" Xiyue paused as she put on her apron. "It does sound a little unpleasant, but..."

"I have been guarding the north for more than 370 years. I deserve respect for guarding the border."

"So I just said it's not very pleasing..." Xi fumbled in the crack of the sofa and took out the remote control, "Got it~"

"Why are you so skilled?" Xiyue looked at Xi, "By the way, were you bullied just now?"

"She burned my painting because I didn't want to talk to her..." Xi turned on the TV skillfully, "Because of this, she destroyed my painting in front of me."

"As for why she is so skilled, don't you know? Hong has the habit of hiding the remote control in the crack of the sofa."

"Ah, will there be?" Xiyue was a little confused when asked this. She really didn't know that Hong had the habit of hiding the remote control in the crack of the sofa.

After all, Xiyue doesn’t particularly like watching TV. Most of the time, she will watch it if it is turned on, and won’t go out of her way to look for it if it is not turned on.

After all, she has a mobile phone and a tablet in her hands, and Xiyue is usually quite busy, whether it is work in the medical department or Xiyue's spontaneous overtime.

As for using your phone to browse in your free time when you are traveling or taking a break, isn’t that great?

This resulted in Xiyue never taking the initiative to look for the TV remote control, so naturally she had no idea that Hong had such a habit.

"I originally thought it was the work of the Angel." Xi was changing the TV channels. "But one time I saw Hong subconsciously stuff the remote control into the crack after changing the animation channel. Then I realized it was Hong who did it."

"Is that so." Xiyue nodded, "Well, forget it, if Hong likes it, she can do whatever she wants."

Anyway, it’s not a serious matter. If Hong has this habit, just let it be. At most, you can talk to Hong later and ask her to be careful and not really lose the remote control.

If I had to say, the only thing that Xiyue didn't understand was where did Hong get this habit from?

"Forget it..." January buttoned up her apron and walked into the kitchen. Although she had been out for a while, there was still no problem with the meat in the refrigerator, although she could forget about the vegetables.

"We should buy some vegetables..." Xiyue looked at the food in the refrigerator and touched her chin. "By the way, at this time, let's see if the Angelus and the others are still in Rhodes Island?"

Although Texas and the others said last time that they might not be in Rhodes Island at this time and would return to Lungmen to change shifts, I still have to ask if they are there now. After all, this determines whether Xiyue should change the menu?

For example, Texas prefers meat, while Angel prefers sweet dishes.

As for Sora, it's because he's an idol and can't eat too much meat. He mainly eats vegetables and can't eat spicy food to protect his throat.

As for croissants… that kid can eat anything, so it’s not a big problem.

Xiyue took out her cell phone from her pocket and opened the Penguin Logistics work group.

[Xiyue: @Texas, @Apple Pie, Texas, Angel, are you two still in Rhodes Island? ]

[Angel: No, we've both returned to Longmen. It's still as lively here as before. ]

[Xiyue: Don't cause trouble. Officer Chen's blood pressure has finally gotten lower. Don't raise it again.]

[If AAA needs anything, please add this friend: Well, about this, Xiyue, it seems that you are late. ]

【Xiyue: Yes!!!】

[Xiyue: What did you do? What trouble did you get into? ]

[Kong: Don't listen to Croissant's nonsense. Croissant just accepted a smuggling order, but was caught.]

[If AAA needs anything, please add this friend: Well, there are 68 other moving violations, including about 54 speeding violations and I can’t remember how many other tickets. ]

[Xiyue: What should I say? Never mind, it sounds a lot less than before. ]

【Texas: About the same. In the past, it might have taken a whole department to complete the task, but now it is much less. After all, some force majeure factors are unavoidable. 】

[Xiyue: Okay, I get it, Angel Texas, well, you two... forget it, just try your best to restrain yourself.]

【Apple Pie: Got it～】

【Texas: Yeah.】

[Xiyue: Oh, by the way, Kong, if Croissant has nothing else to do, you can come back and prepare for dinner. On the way back, please stop by the commercial district to bring back some vegetables. You can make the dishes you want to eat.]

【Kong: OK, got it.】

"Really..." Xiyue put away her phone helplessly, "It really makes me worry about you. Suddenly I feel sorry for Officer Chen."
