Hello, Arknights

Facts have proved that having an additional city-breaking spear would not bring about a qualitative leap in Ling Dengxian's strength, not to mention that the opponent is a Waifan, and a woman at that.

The result of the high-spirited Fengdi meeting the high-spirited Ling Dengxian was that the latter took off directly, on a physical level.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't control the strength of my attack..." Fengdi stuck his city-breaking spear into the ground and quickly ran five meters away to pull up Ling Dengxian, who had not yet recovered from the sudden force.

"Why are there two suns in the sky..." Ling Dengxian didn't let go of the new weapon in his hand. It took him several seconds to recover after being pulled up by Fengpipe. Oh, yes, there are no two suns on Terra, but there are two moons.

"It seems that it will take a lot of effort to teach you... The task is heavy and the road is long." Bagpipe had a headache.

"A more standard way of saying it is that there is still a long way to go... I will study hard." Ling Dengxian sighed, then said firmly, "Let's try again."

"Then let's start with the simplest actions. Watch carefully and think about the countermeasures when facing them." Bagpipe raised the city-breaking spear.

Clang! Perhaps Ling Dengxian must first learn to get used to the feeling of being in the air.

"Sixth brother, what happened to the leader?" The mercenary leader gathered a team that had been dispersed before, and the news that the leader was injured and recuperating was soon known to the people below.

"...The leader had intended to try to sneak in a batch of goods not long ago, but..."

"Did we run into those bastards from Stormtroopers again?"

"No, we didn't have time to meet them this time. This time the leader... met a wild beast."

"Old Six, are you kidding me? Did the leader encounter a herd of beasts? How could an ordinary beast hurt him?"

"Yes, it was a beast, but... it was a little special. The leader fought back desperately after being attacked, which gave us a chance to rescue him, and the goods were also lost. That guy... if he hadn't been ambushed, the leader would have won." The mercenaries could be heard trying to emphasize the suddenness of the incident, but they still kept silent, knowing that it would be useless to say more now. The leader was seriously injured, his companions had not yet gathered, the army was chasing them, and the other backbone commanders and deputy commanders who were responsible for confusing the public were still on their way back...

"*Victoria swears* How come those Storm Troopers always find us!" At this time, a scout hurried into the temporary camp and handed a note to Lao Liu.

"..." Lao Liu took a quick glance and threw it into the fire. His face turned pale, and he wondered how this could happen. After a moment, he said gloomily, "It seems that there is an undercover agent among us."

Everyone's face tensed, fearing that they would be suspected.

"But there is no time now. Change the route immediately and go east--"

"Wait a minute," a mercenary came out from where the leader was resting, "The leader just received a message from the deputy commander, ordering them to meet up and head west."

"Yes!"

The mercenaries took action, and another group of people in the town also received news about the incident.

"It seems that there is no problem. Ling has adapted well." Buno and Duwa, who were passing by in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him "taking off" continuously. Duwa turned to look at Buno and said, "The news coming back recently is not good. Inform everyone to be prepared and not to attract attention. Wait until the army's encirclement and suppression is completed before making any plans."

"…It's really troublesome. Nothing good will come of being with this guy." Bruno muttered.

"Who are you talking about?" Duval shook his head. "It was you who wanted to come here in the first place, and now you are the one who finds it troublesome. Then why did we get to know each other in the first place?"

"Okay, okay, I'm just complaining. I'll still do what I have to do seriously." Bruno stretched and smiled as usual. "Old Bach is waiting for us to have a drink tonight. I'll go and notify everyone first. See you tonight."

Duva pondered for a moment and said, "It's time for Bagpipe to take a rest. We shouldn't bother her with those things anymore."

"Is this the place? Qicheng Town." At the entrance of the town, a man dressed as a bounty hunter compared the map and confirmed that it was the target location. He smiled playfully, and a strand of gray hair under his cloak swayed slightly:

"Then are you here? Haha, what kind of person is it that makes her so concerned? I'm really curious."

After falling down from exhaustion for the tenth time today, Ling Dengxian felt that he really had no more strength left. "That's about it for today..." Fengdi also expressed his understanding and sighed: "Xiao Xian, you are really weak."

"Yes, yes, host, now you know that your little progress is nothing compared to the bagpipe, right?" The sudden voice made Ling Dengxian take a lot of effort to avoid jumping up. Oh, no, he no longer had the strength to jump up.

"Little shit? Can you please stop getting so startled?" Ling Dengxian hadn't heard the voice of this shit system for a few days. Where was this guy? On vacation?

"Hey, host, you know that you should be able to stand on your own feet without me... It seems that I can leave now!"

"Hey, hey, don't!"

"Just kidding."

"... Bastard." To be honest, Ling Dengxian really didn't want this scumbag system to disappear inexplicably. After all, it was the one that talked to him and comforted him when he was the most lonely.

After he came to the world of Arknights.

"Well... Xiaoxie didn't come here just to say hello. I just wanted to protect the newbie and remind him that the host might be in trouble recently."

"What trouble? And how long is 'recently'?"

"…It's actually a violation for me to notify you. As for the details, maybe he fell on the road, or he was in danger, it's all the same." The voice was quite harmless.

"Very different, isn't it?"

"Well, that's it. See you in my dream, host. Bye."

Ling Dengxian felt uneasy, or rather, he felt powerless against the unknown.

"What's wrong? You don't look very energetic. Are you injured?" Bagpipe handed him a bottle of water and said with concern, "There is a medicine box in the house. If it's really serious, we can go to town to see Aunt Rona."

"No... just a little bit - Bagpipe, have you ever worried about the future?" Ling Dengxian asked.

"Huh? Yes, when I didn't get into college, I took regular tests a while before the exam." Fengdi thought about it carefully and gave an answer.

"Have you always been like this..." Ling Dengxian smiled bitterly, "I mean the more distant future."

"Well, it's mainly because my mom always says that a woman in Vaifan should be able to stand on her own two feet. If we really want to talk about that kind of worry, does the confusion about the future in elementary school count?"

Ling Dengxian didn't say anything else. He stared into the clear purple eyes and thought of everything Bagpipe had done. He was silent for a long time under Bagpipe's confused gaze. He was sure that he met someone he had never seen in person. He once doubted whether such a person really existed.

Hope is never absent. Plant hope, grow hope, bloom hope, and sow hope.

All this must be done, otherwise the frozen soil will bury the heart. But in the original fireworks, he did not see the cleansing light.

He had not seen it before, but he wished for it after.
