Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

I'll also see if we can officially revert the update to normal tomorrow.

Sigh, I repent. If I don't finish writing this next time, I'm really not playing Arknights anymore???

I hope everyone gets EW and DogLeftover.

We'll update together this afternoon.

As the title says, I said I was going to write something yesterday, but my mom dragged me out for a walk. I finished the rest, but I felt too sleepy and the result wasn't quite satisfactory. I still want to revise it. I'll post it along with tomorrow's update after I've made some minor revisions, probably in the afternoon. That's all.

The update is back online; normal updates will resume this afternoon.

We won the revival match! I slept well yesterday, and will resume normal updates this afternoon!!!

Since the third captain has chosen Ono Daisuke as the voice actor, it feels like the greatsword user is not as good as the fighter (laughs).

I don't know how the numbers will be. Although there's the Deep Sea buff and the push-pull model... but this year, Suijia already has a buff monster and a super cup that controls both healing and buffing, so it's hard to say.

Shouldn't we start suppressing stats once we reach the third team leader level?

Chapter 1: Phantom Meat Pigeon?

"It's just this trash again. The most useful items I've gotten lately are this stamina potion and some furniture."

Li Ji sighed. Although the morning light from outside the window filled the entire bedroom, when he saw the junk items he had collected in his purchasing center and his remaining four thousand or so Originium coins... he felt that life was somewhat bleak.

Thinking of this, Li Ji could only silently buy the stamina potion from the purchasing center with tears in his eyes, and upgrade his 'ordinary' indicators to 'standard'.

"It's almost time for my least favorite time of day, waking up."

Li Ji reluctantly stretched and got out of bed.

A full week has passed since the rift in the Crisis Contract was sealed.

His 'project payment' has finally come through. These four thousand+ source stones will make every day from now on a hopeful one.

Rhodes Island, as the team with the most outstanding performance in this battle, also received commendation from the commander-in-chief of Yan Kingdom and various government departments.

Furthermore, Rhodes Island made an exception and unconditionally upgraded its team from Tier 1 to Tier 1.

They became the first team in Yan Kingdom to advance to the Special Grade without going through any advancement rifts, without a fixed period of sealing rifts, and without recovering any territory.

Li Ji was granted considerable privileges due to his outstanding performance—such as the ability to freely bring foreign agents in and out of the border areas and to obtain information with priority.

However, no one had any objections, since Rhodes Island was the only island in the entire Yan Kingdom capable of breaking through this rift...

Furthermore, the map "Ruins 59" was uploaded to the war sandbox terminal three days after it was successfully sealed, so that all Yan Kingdom teams could try it out.

In the past few days, Yingming Pavilion has also spearheaded a competition on the Crisis Contract to see just how much pressure other teams from Yan Kingdom can exert on their opponents, aside from the four-person restriction.

Although Rhodes Island's strategy for the Crisis Contract was broadcast live... it's basically impossible to replicate. To put it bluntly, this control-and-kill approach is something that virtually no team in the world can pull off right now.

However, this does not preclude the possibility of having other decent ideas to try and resolve the current contract situation.

Li Ji was also invited as a special guest to provide commentary for the match.

Now, every day when Li Ji logs into the sand table, he can see a bunch of familiar people training in the ruins of 59.

Such a huge amount of popularity... It's just a pity that 59 Ruins, as the first contract, didn't have its own original background music.

Otherwise, Li Ji would have just played it in the live stream and released it on the spot.

And if nothing unexpected happens, it will soon be ranked number one.

He was ultimately just a little short of realizing his dream of becoming a plagiarist in this other world.

……

"Hmm? It smells so good."

As soon as Li Ji opened the restaurant door, the aroma that wafted out made his stomach rumble wildly. "I thought I got up early enough today, but I still couldn't make it in time to cook."

Li Ji looked at the only warm rice noodle soup and two fried dough sticks left on the table and said helplessly.

"Things have calmed down a bit recently, and everyone still has their own work in the morning, so they tend to get up earlier. You can rest a little longer, as live streaming at night is quite tiring."

The sound of millet stalks came from outside.

Li Ji soaked the fried dough sticks in the rice noodle soup, leaned against the window, and looked at the millet outside the window who was tending to the flowers and plants.

"Sigh, Sister Shu, you're progressing a little too fast."

Although Li Ji was very confident in his excellent cooking skills, the food seemed to taste different as Shu cooked more and more frequently lately.

"I've learned a lot from you recently, so when my younger siblings come over, I can make sure they get more to eat."

Shu smiled gently and answered modestly.

"Where is everyone else? Have they all gone to class?"

"Yes, some people went to the Scale-Hunting Training Ground, and others went to do practical combat training."

Shu stood up and walked to the pool to wash his hands as he answered Li Ji.

After saying that, Shu walked into the kitchen at a leisurely pace, took a glass of milk from the incubator next to him, and handed it to Li Ji.

She gently brushed away a small piece of cheese stuck to his lips, saying, "Remember to drink it; you can still grow taller now."

"it is good."

"Yes, Doctor."

Shu wiped his hands with a towel and placed a letter in front of Li Ji. "This morning, the commander sent someone over. I wanted to wake you up, but he said it wasn't necessary. He just left the contact information and this letter and left."

"letter?"

Li Ji took the letter from Shu's hand. The edges of the letter were inlaid with silver foil, and the sealing wax sealing the letter in the middle was also engraved with delicate patterns.

And the language above is... Gaulish.

Is this some kind of party invitation?

He hesitated for a moment while looking at the letter, but still chose to dial the phone number left by the other party first.

It wasn't because he was afraid to open it... it was because Li Ji genuinely didn't understand Gaul.

"Hello, this is Wanfeng. May I ask what this letter is for?"

"Hello, hello, did you see the letter I left this morning?"

"I see it, but what's this for...? It looks like an invitation. Are you having another celebration party?"

Li Ji asked the person on the other end of the phone with some confusion.

"How could that be? This is a spot that the commander got from Gaul. Only one team from each country can participate... It's said to be a rift where you can get special items!"

"Special items... are still in Gaul."

Li Ji slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "Could it be a Phantom Rogue?!"

That's all he can think of right now.

But in the current version, it shouldn't be the time for Phantom and Crimson Lone Diamond yet, so where did this come from?

"Why can only one team participate? Are there any restrictions?"

"Hmm...how should I put it?"

The person on the other side thought for a moment, "After all, the rift is from Gaul and was just discovered. It is said that there is a limit to the number of times it can be explored within a certain period of time. In order to ensure that each country can obtain special items fairly and justly, each country can only send one team to explore."

"Originally, we were going to choose a team from Rhodes Island, Xuanxiandao, and Yingmingge... but Xuanxiandao has a fixed mission, so it has been put on hold until the end. Yingmingge has withdrawn specifically to make way for your team, so please cherish this opportunity."

"If you are ready, you can apply for an emergency vehicle at the Lie Lin training ground at any time. We have already informed them in advance."

"Ok?"

Li Ji of the Xuanxian Sect could still understand, after all, they were a team that was responsible for ensuring the safety of the border. If they moved their base too easily, they might be infiltrated and attacked by the integration faction.

But what's going on with Yingming Pavilion? Is it compensation for the distrust he showed during the last crisis contract?

Why would Yingming Pavilion specifically vacate its space to make room for me?

"It's a long story, but to sum it up, Mr. Nanzhu strongly recommended you to participate, along with the commander and Captain Qianya..."

He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to speak up.

He even imitated Nan Zhu's tone vividly and realistically as he spoke to Li Ji:

"He said……"

"Tell Wanfeng to stop taking advantage of us. It's time to target other countries. That kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve; he'll definitely bring back some special items! Just wait and see how he wreaks havoc on the other teams!"

Chapter Two: Can this be a team from the Yan Kingdom?

1:00 PM

Gaul International Airport.

"Wasn't the Yan Kingdom's team supposed to arrive soon? How much later are they? An hour late?"
