Hello, Arknights

The road is difficult, the road is difficult, there are many divergent roads, where are you today?

"Suddenly he said something I couldn't understand...what did it mean?" Carters shook his rabbit ears. He had just come back from washing up and was very curious about hearing a language other than Victorian for the first time.

"Ah, nothing much. I just saw some geography and humanities magazines among the junk we cleared out yesterday. I've come across some magnificent views along the way, and I remembered a poem written by a famous poet from my hometown, so I recited it."

"Oh? Da Yan's?"

"My hometown." Ling Dengxian made a subtle note without any further explanation.

Ah Ran didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she became interested in the poem: "What do those lines mean?"

"It's time to go to work. I'll explain while we walk. You can't be late on your first day." Ling Dengxian was ready before A'ran. He stood up, took his work order and went out with A'ran.

The blue-and-black little beast yawned, turned over, looked up at the closed door, stood up and decisively jumped onto the bed and crawled into the still warm quilt.

"Are you sure you want to be responsible for serving the dishes?" Although he had already experienced A'ran's skills, when it really came to starting, Ling Dengxian was a little worried. After all, A'ran couldn't see.

"Didn't you see it yesterday? I'm very capable. You might even be more likely to fall than I am." Ah Ran could tell he was really worried, so he explained, "I'll walk around the store a few more times and get a feel for the layout, and then there will be no problem."

Ling Dengxian felt that it was not that simple. He, a visually impaired person in his original life, might not be able to understand it (no offense intended). At least if he was blind, he would definitely not be able to know the surrounding terrain so well in a short period of time.

Regarding yesterday’s sudden situation… this damn place might really have some problems, but the two of us slept in the same bed last night and nothing weird happened. I guess if there was any ghost, it should have been there in advance. We should be safe in the near future.

The main reason was that Ling Dengxian didn’t believe that ghosts really existed.

Different from the sunny days of the past few days, today's winter finally showed its true side, calm and unkind. The wind blowing against their faces made them feel awe-inspiring. They raised their hands to tighten their collars, exhaled lightly, and continued to move forward.

The storage room was not connected to the coffee shop, but there was only a street between them. When the two stepped into the store, Ms. Liberi had just taken off her hat and was turning on the heater in the store.

"You're here quite early." Ms. Wesson's expression couldn't be more normal, as if she hadn't witnessed what happened yesterday. Then she pointed to the back room of the store and said, "There's no water heater in the storeroom, but there is one in the store. You can take a shower after closing. Of course, I will deduct your salary according to your water and electricity usage, so be careful. Take a shower before the store opens today, so you can change your clothes."

The two's eyes lit up. This was obviously good news. A'ran stroked the corner of his uniform and said, "Ling Dengxian, you go first. I just want to check out the terrain."

"Okay, be careful." Ling Dengxian tidied himself up as quickly as possible. After all, he had just taken a shower a day ago, so he wasn't too dirty.

As the door to the inner room closed, A'ran carefully explored the surroundings, confirming the layout of each table one by one, while Ms. Wison began to boil water in preparation.

"Ms. Wesson..." A'ran suddenly stopped and said calmly, "You don't seem to be surprised by my situation."

"What should I be surprised about?" Wesson didn't care.

"I'm a blind person, but you asked me through Ling Dengxian if I wanted to come to work." Ah Ran turned her head to "look" at her. Weisen looked up and shook his head as if it didn't matter, but his hands didn't stop moving:

"So that's what you care about? Then you have seen too little." The woman from Liberia took off her glasses and chuckled. She reached out to pick up her hat again, looked at the azure cloth, and sighed as she told Carters one by one about the strange people and things he had never heard of.

"A mercenary with only one leg who can still escape from the pursuit of the black wolf, a street musician who can still play beautiful music even though he is deaf, a sculptor with only one hand who can carve lifelike objects... Little girl, there are many things you haven't seen yet."

"And I guess you have the Originium skill that can see through the environment, right?"

Ah Ran's expression became solemn, and a fierce look appeared on his handsome face: "...I have no ill intentions, but what about you? As a businessman, you are too kind."

"I'm a businessman," Wesson pointed to the counter as if showing off, "but I like to record good stories when the conditions are met, and I believe that such a story-telling combination will definitely bring me wonderful stories."

"...The little bear doesn't just like to eat honey, it will also show its fangs for food;" A'ran calmed down a little, "The black wolf doesn't just tear its prey apart, it will also be very considerate for its cubs."

"I'll come and see for myself."

"Okay, whatever you want." Weisen smiled. At this time, Ling pushed the door open and walked out, already wearing a uniform. "What are you talking about? You look so excited. It's your turn, A'ran."

"We're discussing how about having sashimi for lunch today?" Weisen said with a smile, "But I just remembered that there's not enough scale meat in the fridge. How about fried rice instead?"

"Isn't it too much to eat sashimi at noon..."

"Okay, let's have breakfast before business starts. There happens to be a store that sells Yan country breakfast."

"Didn't you say that it was just lunch?"

"It's just breakfast, not a full meal." Weisen played a word game. Of course breakfast is a full meal! Ling Dengxian reminded some people that they can't skip breakfast just because they sleep in!

A'ran "looked" at the buns, then went into the inner room with his uniform at ease.

"Wildland pilot, how about we go to visit Tobrand today?"

"...You're not delivering the goods anymore?" Pink Liberi held back and asked about the business.

"The other party said that the consignee has something to deal with and hasn't arrived yet. I have to wait a few more days." Mostima smiled slightly, "But I was planning to go shopping here. Different cities have their own styles. Let's go to the post office to get a stamp first."

"Okay, okay, miss, don't I have to follow you wherever you go?" The woman sighed and rolled to the other side of the bed to find her boots.

"Where are my pants?" Gu Fan searched the room for his pants under the quilt. It was not her fault, because of a certain Sakota who was obsessed with work. The small room was filled with miscellaneous items scattered all over, making it hard to believe that he was a high-level talent.

"Look by the refrigerator. You sneaked over there last night." Someone who looked a little sleep-deprived looked up and replied, then slumped back into the pillow and lay motionless.

"Why don't I remember having a habit of taking off my pants next to the refrigerator?!"

"You're sleepwalking."

"… Found it. Why is this place so dirty?!"

"It looks like you knocked over a few bottles of wheat juice and wiped them off with your pants."

"Fortunately, I still know how to keep some bottom line for myself..." Gu Fan packed up his pants and threw them into the laundry basket with a little fear, then picked up some clean clothes, put them on neatly, picked up his weapon and prepared to go out.

"So you're so enthusiastic about your work? When we just met yesterday, you were ready to chop me with a sword."

"No, it's just that Yan Country breakfast shop in the city seems to be delicious. I'm going to check it out."

"Don't let anyone sell you out." After saying that, Noah fell asleep completely.

"Tsk, workaholic." Gu Fan closed the door gently and set off humming a little tune. The finishing work had just begun and the goal had not even been determined. Why should she force herself to work?
