Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

Amelia Author: AGM

“I will do my best to contribute to Rhode Island.”

"Thank you, Millennium Operator." Amiya smiled sweetly, looking particularly cute. Shen Qi almost fainted when he saw this scene.

[Don’t you think this atmosphere is awkward? ]

"Ah? I think I'm fine." Shen Qi looked around, but found that Ines, who was beside him just now, had disappeared.

"System, where are you?"

[As Inès, I have no obligation to accompany you. You should go back and look at Inès's personal file.]

Shen Qi smacked his lips but still kept smiling.

"I have signed a strategic cooperation agreement with your company and can act freely. If necessary, I will assist Rhodes Island in all its actions." Shen Qi said solemnly.

[It’s not like they don’t understand what you’re saying.]

But Shen Qi soon received the warmest greetings.

"Operator Millennium, welcome aboard. Rhodes Island will always be your home!" The Doctor and Amiya said at the same time. Shen Qi felt so wonderful. Perhaps this was the feeling of home.

This land is never picky about its food. Amid endless natural disasters and painful wars, home may be the greatest comfort for everyone.

"Next, an operator seems to have something to say to you. Please come over here." Amiya took Shen Qi's arm and came to a room.

【Just go in. 】

Shen Qi walked in doubtfully, only to find the familiar figure sitting on a chair. She was playing with a needle, her flawless white legs still shining, which was very disturbing.

"This leg...why is it you again!"

"Your observation point is very consistent with Zhou Li." Ines curled her lips and took back the needle. "It seems that there are some things I need to tell you."

"As my system, shouldn't you tell me everything?"

"I am not just a system, I am also Ines. I have no obligation and no way to tell you the whole truth." Ines snapped her fingers, and a syringe filled with an unknown liquid appeared in her hand. "Take it, just think of it as a gift from me, you will need it in the future."

"No, system, you flashed into this room just to give me this?"

"Obviously not. Many mysteries of this land have yet to be solved, and you are not clear about your position. As your system, I must tell you where you are now."

Shen Qi cursed inwardly: "This b system that plays riddles must have been created by Kal'tsit!"

"Am I now employed by Rhodes Island?"

"Yes, you are a mercenary like me. When I reported your information to Rhodes Island, I listed you as my comrade-in-arms, that is, Inès's."

"But aren't W and Hedley your only comrades?"

"Far more than that. All the mercenaries who fought alongside Ines in Kazdel can be considered comrades. Although Ines rarely changes her employer, she still has quite a lot of friendships. Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't even look at Ines's personal file."

"I didn't draw Ines!"

"I've made it yours now." Ines pointed to the phone in Shen Qi's pocket, "I've modified your account details and added Ines at level 90, E, and full potential to your account."

"Awesome! It's indeed a powerful system."

"That's not the point." Ines changed the subject. "There's no doubt that your arrival has changed the timeline of this land. But fortunately, you came here after Chapter 12, because before that, Ines didn't sign an agreement with Rhodes Island. If I came to Rhodes Island earlier, Victoria's storyline would be in trouble, and you would be heading towards the unknown."

"why?"

"Hedley told W that I was dead in the previous chapter, and W, that idiot, believed it. If I go to the island early, it will trigger a series of chain reactions. God knows what will happen in the future."

"Then why did you choose Ines as your humanoid?" Shen Qi suddenly asked back.

"This is my own decision." Ines said slowly, "Ines is the most elusive operator of Rhodes Island. She is also a veteran who has experienced the Kazdel Civil War and has 19 years of combat experience. She is employed by Rhodes Island and is currently working as the doctor's "guard" in Rhodes Island. After my calculations, the best way for the host to survive in this land is to accept Rhodes Island's employment.

"Helping the host as Inès is the best solution I have come up with."

"When did the system become so intelligent?" Shen Qi expressed some disbelief.

"I am originally an ordinary system, and you are not my first host. After experiencing one host after another, I have come to know everything about this land through continuous self-iteration, so I began to calculate by myself and help you come up with the best answer."

Shen Qi didn't say anything else. His system, just like those artificial intelligences in the real world, learned to update and learn itself and became a very intelligent being.

------------

Outside the room, Amiya and the Doctor were talking about something.

"What happened to Inès? I don't see him normally, but after the Millennium Operator came, I can see him almost every day?"

"Doctor, I don't know that either. According to Miss Inès's personality, she should have disappeared long ago."

"What is the relationship between Millennium Operator and Inès?"

------------

"Many operators tried to contact Miss Inès, but in the end, many of the so-called tracking experts, Operator Luper, returned empty-handed. Most of them were unable to fully grasp Miss Inès's whereabouts. As more and more people failed, the operators on the ship took the game of "Finding Inès" more and more seriously. After all, not everyone is willing to admit that this Sarkaz mercenary who has been wandering in the wilderness for many years has more proficient reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills than most operators who have received professional training."

After reading Inès' resume, Shen Qi finally understood why the system disappeared out of thin air.

"If we stay with you every day, we will definitely be suspected." Inès said expressionlessly, "For mercenaries, war is life, and only death can get rid of it. As long as life continues, the fight will never end. I hope you can understand this too."

"Oh, but what if I like Texas?"

"You kid... I have no right to interfere."

"Then I'll feel relieved... Eh? Why did he run away again?!"

Shen Qi came back to his senses. Inès disappeared from his sight again, so he had no choice but to push open the door. The operators of the control center had all arrived, and they each performed their duties to maintain the operation of the center.

"Hello, new operator. I am Flametail, leader of the Red Pine Knights!"

"Painting and war are originally things in paintings. I am the great painter trapped on this ship, Xi."

"Hello, new operator. Just call me Graythroat."

A warm feeling flowed through Shen Qi's body. This seemed to be the home that Shen Qi had always dreamed of.
