Her gaze, solemn and piercing, fixed on Swire. "Under that guy—Wei Yanwu's nose, you're gradually taking over Lungmen? Are you kidding me!"
ps:
Seeing a flip phone in the PV startled me, so I checked the information again... Hmm, still nothing, they only mentioned a terminal. Hmm, is this a terminal that looks like a phone, or is there actually a phone in the story?
(The only issue should be with the local network, given the Terra environment.)
Volume 2: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 218 (Understanding) Yun Yi: Old Chen... is he a hot-blooded idiot? ? ?
Seriously, Q*UN陾零 (II) Chen Huijie, who came from Er Yi 3 笼巴II, has a similar aura to her race, full of majesty, and the words she speaks sound particularly intimidating.
In the projection, the other person's dark red eyes lit up with emotion. The narrow pupils slowly contracted and turned as if watching prey, sharp as if dissecting the bones and meridians of the person being watched. Even the translucent irises seemed to carry a strange, frenzied bestiality.
Yunyi almost thought Chen Huijie was planning to tear Swire into cat meat strips, but her rationality allowed her to realize that the two were just arguing before she could make the blunder of stepping forward to protect Swire.
Yun Yi was speechless. Was it really necessary? Why did they look so fierce, like they were about to kill someone, just because they were arguing?
After a brief silence, Yun Yi realized something was off. They had argued before, but Old Chen hadn't acted like this then.
Could it be... that I triggered a sensitive keyword?
With this thought in mind, Yunyi couldn't help but cast a questioning glance at Hoshiguma, only to realize immediately that she might not understand—or even see it.
Yun Yi awkwardly looked away and scratched her face, deciding to think about it herself.
Hoshiguma didn't notice Yun Yi's slight embarrassment. Although Chen Huijie was weaker than her, Hoshiguma couldn't be too distracted because she had to ensure that the other party couldn't break free while not harming them. Therefore, she didn't notice Yun Yi's little movements outside her field of vision.
Chen Huijie and Swire, who were glaring at each other, noticed this. Chen Huijie, who was more interested in getting the answer to her question, ignored it and focused on continuing her confrontation with Swire.
Shi Huaiya's expression softened subconsciously, and she gave Yun Yi an elegant smile.
In her eyes, the more Yun Yi showed his emotions, the more handsome his face became, making him truly a feast for the eyes and unforgettable.
Just looking at her, Swire's anger, which had been stirred up by Chen Huijie, dissipated completely. Instead, she was drawn to Yun Yi's amusing little expressions, and couldn't help but smile.
However, Swire has always had exceptional self-control, and having withstood the fragments of Yun Yi's soul, she has developed resistance to Yun Yi's demonic face.
She glanced at him briefly before turning her gaze away, focusing on him before Chen Huijie could escalate her anger further, thus preventing Yun Yi, an innocent bystander, from being drawn into the conflict.
Swire's fleeting glance was as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, leaving no trace. By the time Yun Yi, relying on his powerful soul and almost cheat-like intuition, noticed something amiss, he found nothing unusual.
She simply assumed she subconsciously wanted to watch the drama unfold, and thus began to enjoy it with a sense of detachment.
Beautiful women arguing has a unique charm; you'd be missing out if you didn't watch.
"Huh? With Wei Yanwu's spies who can't even detect the Nirvana, what makes you think that our deployment in Lungmen will definitely be under their noses?" Swire tapped impatiently on her coat covering her arm.
Not to be outdone, she met Chen Huijie's gaze with narrowed green eyes, a hint of feigned pity in them. "Have you become so muddled that you can't even see the advantages right in front of you? Don't worry, I'll ask Madam Wenyue to find you a good doctor to take a look—"
Swire's lips curled into a wicked smile. "Hehe, I'm sure Mrs. Wen Yue would be more than happy to go to great lengths for your brain."
Chen Huijie's eye twitched, and she couldn't help but clench her fist. Her body and dragon tail visibly tensed up. Judging from that posture, if Hoshiguma hadn't been holding her back, this punch would probably have already crossed space and hit Swire's eye.
She held back, ignoring what followed, and sneered, "That sounds nice, but why should we go to faraway Ursus to find a place to stay? Wouldn't it be better to stay in Lungmen?"
“Establishing a new independent regime naturally requires its own people and land,” Swire spread his hands and chuckled. “To seize Lungmen, we only need to seize power; we don’t need to consider people and land—Lungmen itself has them.”
Chen Huijie understood this principle, but the problem lay in seizing power. Throughout history, most thorough power seizures have been accompanied by bloodshed.
It includes not only the enemy, but also the innocent.
Chen Huijie absolutely did not want the regime they were about to join to be stained with the blood of innocent people—what difference would that make from Wei Yanwu? Why should she leave the Guard Bureau and Lungmen?
Chen Huijie also didn't think Swire would lay a hand on innocent people, but just as she had thought before, Swire would break small rules for the sake of innocent people, but not big rules... etc.!
Chen Huijie's expression changed slightly, and surprise appeared in her eyes as she looked at Swire. "Before you decided to leave the Guard Bureau, you had already violated Lungmen's regulations?"
“Ha…” Swire sighed, crossed her arms and said disdainfully, “Old Chen, you really should shake the water out of your head.”
"Doesn't my asking you to leave the Guard Bureau together prove anything?" Swire smiled. "With a reaction this slow, I really suspect that you've been remotely controlled by Yun Yi's movement restriction."
Chen Huijie's eyes suddenly cleared. She was silent for a moment, then muttered defiantly, "That's because you're too awkward, rebellious yet obedient. Everything you do is both strange and reasonable. I don't find it to be normal!"
As she muttered to herself, the sharp edge she had towards Swire completely dissipated.
Hoshiguma released Chen Huijie with a relieved expression and patted her on the shoulder. "Alright, Chen, being stubborn won't solve anything. Let's admit our mistakes and correct them."
"!" Chen Huijie shuddered at Hoshiguma's motherly, approving gaze. She shrugged and pushed Hoshiguma's hand away, her high-curled dragon tail nearly slapping Hoshiguma's hand in surprise. "I know without you telling me!"
Watching this scene, Yun Yi couldn't help but turn to Shi Huaiya and ask, "Is Old Chen a bit of a ditz? Why does she seem to react slower than me?"
“That’s what you call a hot-blooded idiot whose head is full of justice.” Swire chuckled in response. The downy hairs at the tip of her tail swept through the air, bending and rising again in the wind, flowing smoothly and gracefully, looking extremely soft.
Yun Yi's gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, briefly following the soft tip of the tail before she was abruptly jolted awake by Swire's words. She looked at the other woman again, "Hot-blooded...idiot?"
Who? Old Chen, Chen Huijie?
Yun Yi subconsciously looked at Chen Huijie's projection. Her handsome face, well-fitting combat uniform, and decisive actions all exuded an elite aura, making her rational, calm, and shrewd.
Whether from a visual or perceptual perspective, Chen Huijie seems completely incompatible with the image of a sentimental, unstable, and stubborn hot-blooded fool.
—However, when Lao Chen and Swire argue, he becomes agitated and impulsive. Swire is the one he's referring to.
As if she had read Yun Yi's mind, Swire shook her head and said with certainty, "Old Chen is a hot-blooded idiot, especially in terms of being stubborn, just like the hot-blooded idiots in the stories."
Volume 2: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter 219 Yun Yi: We need this number, or the world will come to an end :D
Yun Yi glanced again at the heroic dragon girl on the projection, his expression subtle, feeling that his understanding of Chen Huijie had deepened. "Is that so... Is it passionate?"
Of course, she didn't think Old Chen was really stupid. A person who isn't very bright might be able to be a policeman, but generally wouldn't be able to be a police "officer" who needs to give orders.
Swire probably just made a casual insult when he said "idiot," but the main point was about passion and stubbornness.
Yun Yi stroked his chin. So, is Old Chen perhaps an extremely righteous person? Or an idealist?
While Yun Yi was thinking, Chen Huijie, who overheard her conversation with Swire, turned pale, while Hoshiguma's golden eyes, which had also heard the conversation, were filled with a smile.
Chen Huijie glared at Shi Huaiya but said nothing. In her opinion, passion is never a bad thing; it is when passion cools that one should be wary.
As for idiots?
Sometimes, when Swire is in a state of pride and doesn't want to swear in a serious setting, she can be infuriating by attacking people's intelligence, since she rarely loses in that area and can usually do so without restraint.
As a boss who had worked with Swire for quite some time, Chen Huijie had long since developed the resistance to simply ignoring things when necessary.
Now is the time to be needed. Rather than arguing with Swire about whether she was stupid or not, she was more interested in knowing what to do next.
With this thought in mind, Chen Huijie simply walked towards the driver's seat.
As she walked, she gripped her right wrist with her left hand, deftly rotating it to adjust its position, while raising her eyes to urge Swire, "Stop spouting nonsense. If your brain hasn't turned into barbecued pork yet, you should know that the most important thing right now is how to make up for the time wasted on those five guards!"
"Ha, do you think I didn't think of what you thought of?" Swire crossed her arms, her tiger tail swinging impatiently at her side. "Besides, the five guards are all quite valuable, what's the point of wasting time?"
Hoshiguma carried Hannya and followed Chen Huijie with a smile. He winked at Swire and said, "Calm down, Miss. I believe you have already thought of the next plan. Why don't you tell us so we can complete the plan as soon as possible and leave Lungmen?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yi looked at Swire with curiosity in his eyes, "Indeed, I just heard the reason, Swire, you haven't said what to do next yet."
“Simple, split into two groups.” Swire said smugly, “You and Hoshiguma stay here to seal off these inner guards, while Old Chen and I go to negotiate with Wei Yanwu and recruit a few suitable allies—Yun Yi, hasn’t the system given you a list of potential contractors yet?”
“I already gave it to you, I’ll transfer it to you now.” Yun Yi raised his hand to bring up the system panel, used his mind to pull out the list that the system had given her before, and then sent it to Shi Huaiya’s subsystem.
After passing the list, she thought for a moment, then turned to the two people walking over and passed it to them as well. "By the way, here's a copy of this list for you too. If you come across any suitable candidates, please keep an eye out for them."
Chen Huijie and Xingxiong both turned their heads when they saw the subsystem panel that suddenly popped up.
Chen Huijie looked down at him intently, while Hoshiguma glanced at him before looking up at Yun Yi with a puzzled expression in her eyes. "Did you specifically tell us because you have a need for a certain number of contractors, or do you want us to do something?"
Surely he can't just want to contract with more women, right?
“There is a demand for numbers.” Yun Yi raised an eyebrow. Although she was surprised that Hoshiguma guessed so accurately, it did not stop her from explaining to the two of them, “There was an accident. In short, if I don’t want my power to go berserk and destroy this world—this land, including you, my contractors need to reach twelve within a year and twenty-four within two years.”
"?!!" ×2
Hoshiguma and Chen Huijie simultaneously revealed the most emotionally rich and volatile expressions they had shown since meeting Yun Yi.
Yun Yi rarely lies, or rather, he has never lied to them at all. Before subconsciously seeking confirmation from Shi Huaiya about the truthfulness of Yun Yi's words, the two had already subconsciously believed it, and therefore their emotions were completely out of control.
So much so that the expressions on their faces were so complex that it was hard to tell whether it was absurd to the point of suffocation, cognitively overturned to the point of bewilderment, or disbelief to the point of panic and disorientation.
After a moment of stunned silence, the two regained their senses with their own strong willpower and exchanged a glance.
Swire/Miss never denied it from beginning to end, so it seems that it is true...
They had no idea what had led to Yunyi's current situation.
But now that things have come to this, they can only try to salvage the situation. They absolutely cannot allow Yunyi/Miss Yunyi to become a calamity that destroys everything due to a lack of contractors!
Chen Huijie turned back, her gaze sharpening, and solemnly said to Yun Yi, "Understood, please rest assured, I will do my best!"
Twenty-four in two years? No, just in case, thirty-six a year. This concerns the safety of the entire land, and there's no room for error!
Yun Yi was unaware of Chen Huijie's absurd determination. She smoothed her soft white hair, nodded her thanks, and added, "Okay, thank you very much. By the way, the higher the contractor's mental strength, the better, but it's okay if it's low; you can make up for it with quantity."
Yun Yi recalled the standards the system had told her and said carefully, "The mental strength that meets the standard is similar to yours. If the other party's mental strength—which is probably manifested as resilience—is much weaker than yours, then two of them are needed to count as one spot."
“Understood.” Hoshiguma replied in a deep voice, her tone no less solemn than Chen Huijie’s. “Twenty-four… Miss Yunyi, don’t worry, I will find you the most suitable contractor.”
Just in case, find someone with a stronger mental fortitude than yourself!
(Yun Yi, who will occasionally have a contractor in the future: Ah?... It's actually pretty good)
After the two made their promise to Yun Yi, Swire, Chen Huijie, and Hoshiguma lowered their heads in tacit agreement, trying their best to firmly engrave the list of contractable individuals on the panel into their minds. Chen Huijie and Hoshiguma even stopped in their tracks for this reason.
Therefore, the disc suddenly fell silent, so quiet that it seemed as if only one's own voice could be heard.
Yun Yi looked at the three serious-looking people around him, a question mark appearing on his forehead.
Because Yunyi was very confident that he could definitely meet the target within two years, and didn't have such strong feelings for this world, he didn't realize that the three of them were actually more or less worried about the consequences of failure, so he couldn't empathize with them.
Just as Yun Yi was puzzled, the two Manjiu birds that had been sleeping soundly on the bench behind her were awakened by the sudden change in their environment.
As soon as their beady eyes opened, they saw the back of their commander, and 001 and 002 couldn't help but feel happy.
They stood up, flipped over the bench one on each side, jumped off, and gathered around Yun Yi. They simultaneously squinted their beady eyes and cheerfully greeted him, "Chirp, chirp!" Good morning, Commander! ×2
PS:
Ghost Sister still loves me after all; I got her in my second 10-pull! The fastest I've ever completed a banner from this gacha pool, hahahahahaha (laughs in a devilish voice).
Wishing everyone two gold items in their ten-pull, and all good luck! Spreading good fortune! ⊙▽⊙
Volume Two: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter 220 The Guard Trio: Defending the Earth's Safety is Everyone's Responsibility! Yun Yi: Cute
"Huh? Oh, you're awake." Yun Yi thought she was hallucinating when she suddenly heard the chirping of the two chirping birds. 001 and 002 stretched out their wings and tugged at her collar and trouser legs affectionately. Only then did Yun Yi realize that it was the two chirping birds that had come looking for her.
She crouched down, picked up 001, and stood up with it. Then she turned and rubbed 002's soft, golden-yellow fur against its skin, looking comfortable. Her voice unconsciously became more husky, "It's probably noon or afternoon now. Morning is over."
"Chirp...chirp?" But...the time shows morning, right? 001 sat on Yun Yi's forearm, tilting her head, a real cartoon question mark appearing above her head.
002 let Yunyi rub against her chest fur, her beady eyes sparkling with joy, and answered 002 in a steady tone, "Chirp, chirp." Perhaps there's something wrong with our time, or we're connected to the wrong time zone.
In any case, 002 believed it couldn't be a problem with the commander.
"It's more likely that I'm misperceiving." But Yun Yi himself felt that it was more likely that he was wrong. "It's normal for a series of events to distort my perception of time, but after all that, it's still morning..."
Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of another world, as expected of Ark of Tomorrow."
She had this feeling when she first played the game. The main story of Arknights is full of troubles one after another - whatever you do, you will encounter all kinds of unexpected events. You can only say that you are indeed the protagonist, being bombarded by all kinds of events without stopping.
Now that she's transmigrated here with a cheat system, she's probably considered a protagonist, which is why she keeps encountering so many things. It's not boring at all; in fact, it's a bit too exciting.
Speaking of the protagonist, Yun Yi recalled the notification that his system had popped up earlier.
He didn't know why it upgraded again, but this system upgrade was different from the previous ones. Instead of applying the upgrade immediately, He gave Yunyi two options, allowing her to choose one of the directions to upgrade.
The original options were quite verbose in Yun Yi's eyes, but after simplification, they were nothing more than "become the protagonist" and "become a local".
In the former case, she and the system will partially assimilate the rules of the world; in the latter case, she will be able to understand and apply the rules of the world.
Both options have their advantages and disadvantages, but Yunyi personally leans towards the former at present.
But now that she has formed a team with Swire and the other two, she still needs to take their opinions into consideration when making this core upgrade – just for reference, to listen to them, the final result will definitely be based on her own wishes.
Yun Yi glanced at the system panel to reinforce his memory, lest he forget to mention it when he had the chance.
002 then raised the wrench in her hand, making a "I'm very capable" gesture, "Chirp! Chirp chirp!" Commander, you've worked so hard! Please take a good rest now, and leave any problems to me!
"Chirp! Chirp!" Me! I can help too! 001, not to be outdone, raised its wings and chirped loudly.
The loud voices of the two babblers attracted the attention of Swire and the other two officers, who had just finished memorizing the list—just a few hundred names and basic information, which was no challenge for these three officers who often spent time investigating cases.
When Shi Huaiya looked at Yun Yi and the two wild birds, a hint of contemplation still lingered on her face.
