About the time I was picked up and adopted by Tallulah

Natalia (early reveal): How's it going, Orson? Thanks to Ms. Lyudmila (Junjun), my busy schedule has become much less busy, and I can now occasionally go back to school. I heard from classmate Sonia that the college is holding a cultural event and exhibition. Once you're done with your business at Longmen, come over and have a look~

[Ino: Mr. Orson! I heard that the king of MSR Records is coming to Cheshire for a tour! I'll be performing as a guest, which is a great opportunity for me. Um, Mr.... if you don't mind, please come and watch me shine!]

[Junjun: I’m so tired——]

Patriot: I heard that the early childhood education industry in Colombia is quite developed. You and Yelena might consider it. I can ask General Hellager if he has any connections there.

...What is this?

Yinuo is becoming more and more like a secretive person. The topics discussed by Patriot are subtle and not good, but Junjun is still the same Junjun.

While flipping through the text messages, the phone received several new messages.

[Xuezhi: Um, Orson—please make time to come to Longmen. My improved knight sword is broken. The original owner will definitely be angry! Anyway, please let me fix it. After-sales service is free!]

[Exiac: Hey, come back to my hometown with me next week, Orson? I'll treat you to apple pie! It's definitely not because the mess the church has made is unstoppable that I need you to put out the fire...!]

"..."

Wouldn't it be better for Exiah to pretend not to see it?

Many people had interesting offers, and it was indeed quite a while since I last saw many of them. Although Orson wanted to respond to each one,...

"Orson? The equipment has been debugged and is ready. Please come in."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Amiya."

The honorary leader of Rhodes Island, the little rabbit Amiya, poked her long ears out from a nearby room, indicating that Orson could now enter the 'control center'.

Orson entered the room, walked over to a machine connected to countless cables and monitors, and put a helmet on his head.

[PRTS system debugging simulation started, welcome back, Doctor]

Doctor...

Orson repeated the word in a low voice, then opened his eyes and saw Longmen Street in front of him.

This time the simulated battlefield is the urban area of Longmen, and for the sake of convenience, the imaginary enemy chooses the "security company" integrated movement.

[Retinal connection completed, cognitive filter activated, brain phenolphthalein dosage regulated]

The originally intricate wreckage of the streets instantly turned into a regular "grid", and the Rhodes Island operators on standby on the transport plane were simplified into cards.

"Simulation begins."

Orson pressed the button and began to take over command of this encounter in the ruins of Longmen where we were outnumbered.

A familiar interface appeared before his eyes, and because he had a bunch of outrageous 6-star operators in his hands, Orson fiddled with them a few times and completed the task with full stars.

[Test concluded. Your command is as awesome as ever, Doctor.]

"Wow, that's awesome... Orson!"

After the PRTS debugging was completed, Orson just took off his helmet, and Amiya came over from the side with kirakira~ eyes and praised him.

"Eh, is there?"

"Indeed, whether it's judging the timing of dispatching operators, predicting the enemy's attack routes, or distributing tactical commands, the professionalism, efficiency, and conciseness are chilling."

Doberman on the side also spoke seriously, proving that Amiya was not just praising her out of good intentions.

"Is it really that powerful? From my perspective, it's just a matter of dragging a few operators down and watching them kill them randomly..."

Orson rubbed his hair and said guiltily.

"However, the system debugging phase of PRTS should be over. What else should we do next, Amiya?"

"Eh? Nothing at the moment..."

"The Grand Knight Commander from Casimir has previously sent a message stating that the local Chamber of Commerce hopes to collaborate more closely with Rhodes Island to produce some health drinks with less pronounced effects that can be used as daily necessities. They will be responsible for the promotion and marketing. The product's tentative name is 'Shenbao'... I'll leave it to Miss Zilan and Doctor Warfarin to handle further."

"Eh?"

"Also, Commander Wei Yanwu has some complaints about our drug distribution channels. It seems he was blackmailed by a local black doctor when he went for an injection. I'll contact Doctor A and ask him to exercise some restraint..."

"Wait, wait a minute Orson—"

"Then there are the internal competitions and proposals within Rhodes Island. I rejected Dr. Warfarin's forty-third request for permission to perform an anesthesia examination on Orson. Elite Operator Rosemary also requested permission to plant some cat grass in the flower garden. This proposal was well-received, so I approved it."

"Wait a moment, Orson!!"

Amiya tried many times to interrupt Orson who suddenly fell into work mode, but failed. It was useless to slap Orson with her ears. In the end, she could only stand on tiptoe and hit Orson's chin with her head.

“Puff!”

"How long has it been since you last rested, Orson?"

Amiya put on a serious face and questioned Orson.

"Huh? I was resting the whole time I was at Longmen."

"Look into my eyes and tell me again, Orson! I can read minds too, you know?"

Amiya pouted her face angrily, and her beautiful eyes stared at Orson.

"Ha... I know, Amiya."

Being stared at like that by the little island leader, Orson could only sigh and tell the truth.

"If this is truly a 'rest'...it should be a while. A month? Two months?"

Orsen couldn't remember the exact time, but his life in Longmen was definitely not a "rest". Orsen's time was basically fully scheduled every day, and occasionally in his spare time he would be invited by girls and then involved in strange events.

"That's it! You haven't rested for a long time, just now too. Start working once you feel a little better... Anyway, take a break, Orson!"

Amiya pointed a finger at Orson, and the Chimera boy tilted his head in confusion, blinking his black pupils.

"Have a holiday……?"

"Yes, literally, a holiday."

Amiya's expression was very serious, and it was obvious that she didn't say this on a whim.

"Even so, there's still a lot of work to do, right? It'll take a lot of time if you handle it all by yourself, Amiya—"

Orson was halfway through his speech when he was forcibly pushed out of the command center by Dobin and Amiya.

"Dr. Kel'tsit and Miss Tallulah have both agreed to this decision, so this is the latest rule that has been unanimously approved. You just have to abide by it honestly. No doubts are allowed!"

"Eh? But..."

Boom! !

The door of the command center was slammed shut. Generally speaking, this kind of situation would only happen when an employee was kicked out by his boss, but this time it was the "bosses" who forced him to take paid leave.

Orson, who was forced to take a vacation, was a little confused for a moment. This situation of suddenly having nothing to do made Orson feel a little uneasy.

——What should you usually do on your vacation?...Oh, my cell phone!

Orson thought of the text message list he had just checked and confirmed the invitations from his companions.

"The Rhodes Island is now docked at the edge of Longmen, which isn't too far from Che City... Well, why not go back to Che City first and see if Junjun Natalia and the others need any help."

This is also a break!

Because the examination and care conducted by Dr. Kal'tsit had ended, Orson, who was able to move freely, thought so.

After reaching this somewhat sophistry conclusion, Orson immediately went to the Rhodes Island hangar.

"Hey, isn't this Orson? Why are you here?"

After arriving at the hangar, Orson didn't see Rhodes Island's long-distance and short-distance transport aircraft. Instead, he saw Kolsil squatting on the ground, welding something.

"Good afternoon, Miss Klushel. Why is the aircraft missing? And why are those SUVs covered with cloth?"

Orson looked at the hangar. Not only was the aircraft missing, but the wasteland long-distance off-road vehicle was also blocked.

"Ah, Huang and Scout are out on a mission. The aircraft will be back in about two hours, but considering the resupply and routine maintenance, it will definitely not be used today. As for the off-road vehicle, it's undergoing a unified inspection and will not be available for the next two days - hand me a wrench."

"Oh, I see."

Orson controlled the pause and handed the wrench on the workbench behind him to Klushier while speaking.

"Hehe, but if you spend money you can speed up the repairs!"

"What kind of web game setting is this?"

Orson complained quietly, it seemed that he couldn't go to Qiecheng today.

"Speaking of which, what are you doing?"

Orson decided to modify his plan and noticed the dark sphere in front of Kalsil.

"Hmm? This is my newly developed suicide car! It's equipped with the latest artificial AI, a 16-speed transmission, and its exterior is decorated with hand-engraved reliefs. The tracks are designed to be reusable, and the best part is, it improves in intelligence through repeated learning!"

Klucil patted the sphere in front of her and said proudly.

"I always feel like there's a conflict between the functions and the names... Uh, is it okay to activate it here?"

Orson complained quietly, pointing to the small car that suddenly glowed behind Klushier and asked.

"Of course there's a problem. After all, I haven't installed the safety device yet. If I start it here, it will explode directly - oops."

As Lucille was speaking, she noticed the self-destructing car behind her that she had accidentally started and was becoming brighter and brighter.

"Master, Master—I don't feel well, I… don't want to die—"

The suicide car looked at Kalsil with its non-existent eyes, and made an unexpectedly magnetic and heavy voice that did not match its appearance with its non-existent mouth.

"No - Thermal-EX!" Looking at the suicide car that was about to be killed by Curry, Klucie also let out a heart-wrenching cry.

【take a bow】--

Orson quietly opened the silence beside him. The STELLA car that was about to explode in one breath just made a pu sound and then turned off.

"I'm glad nothing happened. I'll be leaving first, Lucille."

Orson, who did good deeds without leaving his name, ran away quickly, not because he really did not ask for anything in return (of course, Orson rarely asked for anything in return), but the more important reason was that he was afraid of being entangled by Klushier again. After all, based on past experience, no good would come of it if he had anything to do with this profiteer.

"Eh? Uh, uh, okay, take care?"

Without figuring out what was going on, Kalsil instinctively waved goodbye to Orson, not even noticing the front camera of the self-destructing car in her arms, and used the last bit of backup power to look at Orson's actions.

Orson, who originally thought that he was not in any trouble, was visited by a suicide car a few days later. The other party said seriously, "You are my savior. I was worried about you, so I came to take care of you" - Orson naturally could not have guessed such a development of events at this moment.

Anyway, after that, Orson knew what it felt like to have a creeper as a pet.

After returning from the hangar, the originally scheduled trip to Checheng had to be temporarily put on hold, and Orson, who was on paid leave, didn't know what to do for a while.

"Have you heard of the Seven Wonders of Rhodes Island—"

"Yeah, yeah! It was really scary... and I also saw—"

Several new operators from unknown departments walked past in the corridor while chatting, and Orson heard some concerned words in their conversations.

What are the Seven Wonders of Rhodes Island?

It sounds like a term that Huang would come up with for a bad movie. Although I am a little concerned about it, it should be just a misunderstanding caused by some rumors.

Orson was thinking this when he turned a corner and happened to meet Rosemary, who was holding a notebook and writing something down.

"Good afternoon, Rosemary."

"Noon... Ugh! Oh, Orson? Um, good afternoon--uh!"

Rosemary, who didn't notice Orson at first, was startled, and her ears and tail became a little more "fluffy" because of the hair standing on end.

After finding out that the person who greeted her was Orson, Rosemary first showed a happy expression, then her eyes fell on the notebook in her hand. She immediately put the notebook behind her back and tried to use her body to create a blind spot to block Orson's sight.

——She must be hiding something, her movements are a bit too obvious, but this shy yet happy expression is so cute, hehehe.

Orson smiled like an old father.

"Um... Orson, your expression is so weird."

"Ahem, sorry."

After hearing Rosemary's somewhat troubled voice, Orson realized that his expression management seemed to be a little unsatisfactory. He quickly coughed twice and returned to his normal state, and rubbed Rosemary's hair by the way.

Rosemary, who touched Orson's palm, showed a satisfied expression. She gently stood on tiptoe and rubbed Orson. But it was precisely because of this action that Orson noticed the notebook hidden behind Rosemary.

"Seven incredible exploration notes?"

Orson read the handwriting on the notebook cover.

“Meow—!?”

When Rosemary realized that her 'secret' was seen by Orson, she immediately let out a cute scream.
