Normally, two people wouldn't eat this much.
This looks...like it's the last meal!
"Doctor...you've made so much, there's not enough for the two of us to finish, is there?"
Looking at the huge spread of food on the table, Elena suddenly felt a little flustered.
This caused some painful memories to suddenly flood Elena's mind.
The last time she was treated to such good food... it seems like it was during the Crisis Contract period, when the Doctor arranged for Mr. Hong to come and cook for her alone.
At that time, she needed to train five or six people in a row, and she had to work overtime in the training room all the time.
But it wasn't exactly a tough job, considering it was an emergency task during a special period, and everyone was quite tired.
Even though she can't participate in the field, she should still do her best in the infrastructure construction and do some necessary work.
Overtime is not a problem.
The problem is that every time she finishes working overtime and drags her tired body back to the dormitory...
She would always see a red-haired Li Boli in her bed and say to her:
"How can you sleep at your age? At your age, how can you even sleep?"
"I'll sleep in your place, you can go back to work!"
Then, her fatigue and depleted Sanity vanished in an instant.
Then, she can go back to the training room and 'happily' work overtime!
Thinking about this, Elena's head started to ache again.
Before coming here, Elena had heard people talking about the doctor's situation.
The Doctor is currently very short of money; each operator costs an astronomical sum to bring to this world.
And this is a job that's relatively easy to make money from.
I hope I won't have to work overtime like this right after I arrived.
She even felt a tremor in her heart, and could only ask nervously, "Doctor, will I still have a chance to sleep after today?"
Seeing how nervous Elena was, Li Ji seemed to know what she was thinking and couldn't help but want to tease her.
"My silly little bird, how could you ask such a question?"
Li Ji grinned mischievously at Alini and said, "Of course not. Fiameta will come over to sleep in your place in a little while. You'd better work hard. I'll provide you with the highest standard of food from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Elena's face gradually turned pale, she stopped eating the biscuit, as if she had lost her appetite, and even the light in her eyes gradually disappeared.
Fiametta, this is the red-haired Liberi that Elene fears.
A woman who makes all the Rhodes Island infrastructure operators tremble.
As for why... it's because Fiameta has two base building skills.
The first skill is called [Self-Discipline]: When entering the dormitory, your mood recovers by +2 per hour, but you cannot receive mood recovery effects from other sources.
This seems like just an ordinary, unremarkable Sanity recovery skill; in fact, because it's a fixed recovery, it even seems somewhat useless.
However, when combined with her other skill called "Friends in Adversity," she becomes utterly despicable.
Friends in adversity: When entering a dormitory, if you are full of energy, you can exchange feelings with the operator who entered the dormitory before you.
As we all know, when an operator is exhausted, they will enter a state of mental disarray and need to go back to the dormitory to sleep in order to gradually recover.
However, if Fiameta is placed in the dormitory at the same time, their Sanity values will be swapped.
Distracted operators will immediately regain their focus and be able to return to their posts.
The Rainbow Six Siege control center 007 might just be a bit of a hobby, since it's definitely less efficient than a normal layout, but it's a boon for those PhDs who don't want to replace it.
But Fiametta brought the operators a 484-hour workday—meaning they worked for 48 hours and slept for only 4 hours.
This is a nightmare that many operators have experienced firsthand, especially those in the processing station and training room.
Operators like Nian, Nine-Colored Deer, and Irene... have all suffered from Fiametta's long-term persecution.
at this time.
Elena was as helpless as a wind-up puppet with a broken string. Her mouth opened and closed as if she was eating, but she was only swallowing air.
The potato pancake in her hand was always just a little short of getting to her mouth, and the straw for orange juice in her other hand was also slurping at her lips, but she couldn't suck up a single drop of juice for ages.
"It seems we've gone too far; the power is really that great?"
Seeing Elena's appearance, Li Ji quickly stood up and patted her head.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Fiameta won't come over to sleep in your place."
"I did so much because Reed and Texas are coming over in a bit, don't worry."
This sentence seemed to wind up Elena a few more times, making her move again.
"Really!? Doctor, you're not kidding me!"
She hurriedly finished the potato pancake in her hand and looked at Li Ji with hopeful eyes.
Even the light in his eyes had mostly returned.
Before Li Ji could answer, a knock came from the door.
"Wait a minute, let me go open the door first and then I'll talk to you."
Li Ji removed his hand from Elena's head and jogged over to open the door.
Amidst Elena's mixed emotions, the door slowly opened, and at the same time, chaotic footsteps echoed from the entrance.
Elena clenched her hands nervously and turned her head slightly to look at the person at the door.
With the appearance of a strand of black hair and a strand of golden hair, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I already said no, you see, it's just the two of them. They were just recognized and were signing autographs for fans, which took a while."
Li Ji smiled and explained to Elena.
After hearing what Li Ji said, the two men behind him put their hands on their hips and questioned him:
"Doctor, did you scare Elena with Fiamet again? Didn't you already sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons?"
"Okay, okay, you know you were wrong. Sit down and eat."
Li Ji made an 'X' with his hands, then stopped talking about what had just happened, sat down, picked up a slice of ham, put it in his bread, and asked Elinie, who had recovered completely:
"Were there any obstacles when you were focusing on it yesterday? For example, did you fail once, or was the timing wrong?"
"No, it's just the normal procedure. Is there any other problem?"
Elena recalled what had happened yesterday, "It was the same as usual, theoretical knowledge plus skills training, and the time was about the same as in Terra."
"Yes, there's no problem with the timing, but their skill upgrades here... are based on probability. For ordinary people, the probability is usually around 20% to 30%, while for geniuses it might be a bit higher."
Li Ji briefly explained the situation to Elena, along with the newly joined Texas and Reed.
He brought Texas and Reed along this time to leverage their popularity and expand the testing.
Let's see if Rhodes Island operators can give special skills to people in this world with a 100% success rate, or if success still requires a probability.
One trial might just be a fluke, so we need to increase the sample size.
The three people present all have dual-class training bonuses: Texas is Vanguard and Specialist, Flameshadow Reed is Warlock and Medic, and Elene is Guard and Sniper. These three almost cover all classes.
What is certain now is that, assuming no failures, the time remains constant.
If the probability is also 100%, then Li Ji can also put up a slogan that guarantees success.
Then, many operators who were not needed on the battlefield were put into the Hunter's Training Ground.
Not only can it effectively increase the success rate of mastering the third skill in this world, but it can also earn you a considerable income and increase the popularity of the operators.
That's killing three birds with one stone!
"So, it seems we're both here to work today too?"
Reed rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at Li Ji while leaning on the table. "Is there any other reward~?"
"Hmm... if you really want a reward, how about I reward you by letting you work a little more overtime? I'll call Fiameta over right now, and she can sleep in your place tonight."
"?"
A question mark suddenly appeared on Wei Cao's smiling face, and a staff suddenly appeared in her previously empty hand.
This display of force even made Texas and Elene step aside, afraid of being caught in the crossfire, showing no sign of protecting Li Ji whatsoever.
Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted their playful antics.
Li Ji looked at the doorway, slightly surprised:
"The fan effect came so quickly?"
