Hello, Arknights

"Have you met him? In your opinion, how does he feel?" The old man Zarak was meeting a visitor with a cup of tea. When he heard Lin Yuxia's arrival, he raised his hand to signal a pause in the conversation.

"...Not bad. He has acceptable patience, a certain level of insight, good skills, and a good psychological quality..." The pink-haired Zalak girl paused and showed a submissive look - after all, with outsiders around, she still had to give her father some authority.

"Not bad reviews?" The old man raised his eyebrows.

"It's just a few minor flaws, but I can accept them for now." Lin Yuxia recalled today's situation and gave a fair evaluation.

"Then tell me about the shortcomings. After all, I have to be careful too."

"Sometimes I lose my temper when speaking." Lin Yuxia closed her eyes and said with a headache.

"That's normal. It's more like there aren't many young people like you who can joke with you." The old man raised the corners of his mouth. He hadn't seen his daughter show such an expression for a long time.

"No he seems to be serious."

"That's even more difficult." The old man stroked his beard and nodded. Before the girl could give him face, he waved his hand to signal her that she could go do her own thing first. He controlled the accuracy of his daughter's emotion bar just right.

"...Yes." Lin Yuxia took a deep breath and retreated.

The old man turned around, and Anasa, who had been assembling the statue beside him, did not show any impatience. Seeing that the old man had turned his attention back, he nodded to show that he was listening carefully.

"So, you want me to allow you to continue your activities in the Longmen underground world without being affected, also because of this young man?"

"Yes, senior, according to the rules, I have to come to you and get your approval." Anasa bowed slightly to show respect. He could feel the old man's control over the dust in their environment. He was a powerful warlock.

"So, what is the reason why I trust you?" The teacup slowly rotated in the hands of old man Zalak. "You can't just rely on your words to make the gray area of ​​​​Longmen open a path for you, right?"

"To be honest, no." Anasa shook his head. "I came here on orders only to confirm whether he used the two swords correctly. Nothing else.

"This makes it very difficult for me, an old man..." The old man looked at the scene in the teahouse, slowly stood up, took off his coat, and placed it in front of the silent boss's counter.

"Follow me and show me your power..."

"Since you are willing to reveal your identity as belonging to the mysteriously disappeared country of Kazdel, although the authenticity is questionable, I am willing to give you a chance."

"Use your performance to verify whether you are threatening."

"You can also see that I am not the only one who can make the decision in Longmen's gray area. There is no need to hold back."

Wu let out a light breath. The old man's words sounded like an explanation, but in reality they were a threat.

Facing the pinnacle of power in the Longmen underground world, the black fog he sensed told him that the dust in the environment was rioting, and he knew that most of the time the other party did not need to do anything personally.

That's very inefficient.

If Wu hadn't found him directly, he might not have met him at all through normal channels. This move was also a warning to his subordinates.

The Rat King, the actual controller of the Lungmen underground world, is a master of sand and stone source stone techniques.

He could already feel the stinging dust on his face.

But in the same way, he bypassed the Rat King's men and went directly to find the Rat King, which was also efficient.

He didn't want to waste too much time in achieving his goal.

He was a former mercenary who believed that he was quite strong and could compete with many elite soldiers, but this man... was not an elite.

Well, occasionally testing your own limits is also a good way to improve combat efficiency.

Close your eyes, the black fog surges, but your perception becomes clearer.

The next moment, facing the sudden riot of yellow sand, he dodged the first wave of attack.

On the other side, at Penguin Logistics, Ling Dengxian, who was sent by Miss Lin to deliver messages in a small half of the slum, took Chi Yu back to the dormitory exhausted after completing his task at Penguin Logistics. He originally wanted to lie on the bed and have a good rest, but when he saw his own bed that had been broken into pieces, he suddenly had the urge to find Lappland and fight her desperately.

Losing hope, he fell on the sofa, feeling like he had lost his ideal. Ling Dengxian suddenly felt that having a spacious house and a wide bed that he could sleep in endlessly seemed like a great life goal.

Just when Ling Dengxian was worrying about how to sleep tonight—he didn't dare to think about Mostima's room at all, and the other rooms were not cleaned up yet—Chi Yu very considerately brought him a book of "Advanced Mathematics".

Yes, Ling Dengxian knew the importance of theoretical knowledge and felt it would be better to grasp a handful.

Not only mathematics, he also made some preparations for books on other subjects when he purchased them before.

"...You! Okay, okay, come here and study with me!" Ling Dengxian grabbed the little bastard and held him in his arms, forcing him to study together.

Chi Yu: “…”

I am not a human, but you must be a dog!

After struggling to escape in vain, Chi Yu obediently (at least on the surface) accompanied him to learn functions...

"Why do I feel like I don't understand... Never mind, I'll take my time."

Ling Dengxian had almost forgotten that he was originally a freshman in high school...

"Where are we going to sleep tonight... Let's take a shower first." The ocean of mathematical knowledge was vast and overwhelming. Chi Yu came ashore. Ling Dengxian almost drowned in it. He quickly found his clothes and went into the bathroom. Chi Yu read two more pages of the textbook, folded the pages for him considerately, and jumped off the sofa to look through the refrigerator.

Ling Dengxian didn't have many clothes, so he would have to wear Penguin Logistics' work clothes starting tomorrow. Fortunately, Mr. Yis had strong logistical capabilities, and the perfectly fitting clothes were delivered to him shortly after he started working.

Soon, a small figure approached and raised its paw to knock on the door.

Ling Dengxian was enjoying his bath and asked casually, "Chi Yu, what's wrong?"

"Ugh."

"Wait a moment." Ling Dengxian opened the door a little, Chi Yu pushed the ringing cell phone in and turned away.

"...Ms. Lin?!" Ling Dengxian did not dare to neglect this superior who never showed his emotions, and quickly answered the call.

"It's me. There was no response to my message. What are you doing?" It was still impossible to tell what her mood was from her voice, so Ling Dengxian had to be more careful.

"I'm taking a shower..."

"Pa." Lin Yuxia hung up the phone decisively.

Ling Dengxian was speechless. You are the one who is looking for me? Besides, I will take a rest tomorrow... Just as he was thinking, Ling Dengxian accidentally dropped the communication terminal into the water.

"...I remember our company seemed to provide warranty services." Ling Dengxian was not panicked at all. It was a good thing that he didn't have to reply to his superior. Well, it should be less trouble.

On the other side, Texas was considering whether to talk to Baige about her abnormal feelings for him. She sent a message but got no response. She thought about it and came to the conclusion:

"I guess he doesn't think it's important either. Surprisingly, I think the same thing."

"Oh!" A little head popped out from the windowsill. She tilted her head. She always felt a sense of familiarity when she saw Chi Yu. She had always heard the Angel talk about animal intimacy before. Was it really like this?

So she stretched out her hand, and Chi Yu jumped happily into her arms, abandoning Mo Ling who was still taking a shower and decided to stay here overnight again.
