I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

"I'll naturally come to fight you then, and I'll be completely focused. You can fight for as long as you want, how about it?"

Will it distract you? You might as well fight later.

Lappland immediately agreed: "Sure, that suits me perfectly."

It was so fast that it caught Yun Yi off guard.

So simple?

Am I some kind of negotiation genius?

Yun Yi asked suspiciously, "Are you really waiting for me? Or are you just kidding me?"

Lappland's response this time was a threatening sneer: "Annoying fellow, hurry up and deal with your troubles. If you dare to mess with me again, hmph—"

Texas elbowed Lappland to stop her visibly angry trash talk, then pulled out another Pocky stick and calmly promised, "I'll make her keep her promise."

That posture makes him look reliable.

ps:

After running around all day, I realized I forgot to bring any materials :D

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter Forty-Three - How can there be such a huge difference between people!

Yun Yi immediately imagined a scene where a blue wolf was holding onto the collar of another white wolf companion, calmly apologizing to the human who had been frightened by his companion.

It gives one a strong feeling: the more unreliable the white wolf is, the more reliable the blue wolf will be.

Trusting his instincts, Yun Yi ignored Lappland's bared teeth at Texas and gave Texas a thumbs-up: "Please!"

Texas is putting pressure on Lappland.

She nodded casually in response, raised an eyebrow, and turned to signal Yun Yi to leave quickly.

Texas's behavior gave Yun Yi an ominous feeling: Could Lappland really go back on her word?

No, that's too much trouble.

Finding it troublesome, Yun Yi took a step forward and pulled Swire away from Lapland's sight.

Swire quickly grabbed the bag and weapons before leaving.

Yun Yi didn't notice that she was fleeing without looking back.

After leaving the interrogation room and closing the door behind him, Yun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hoshiguma hasn’t said goodbye to me yet.” Swire’s voice came out softly, startling Yun Yi.

After realizing what Swire had said, Yunyi looked apologetic and asked, "Excuse me, shall I open the door now?"

Swire immediately shook her head: "That new guy at Penguin Logistics, Rupert, doesn't seem like someone who can keep her own thoughts steady. Let's not provoke her."

"Compared to those, you should first think about how to contact her and deal with her next time, so as to improve your own abilities."

Shi Huaiya knew without Yun Yi's explanation why she suddenly pulled this stunt—chasing someone to a fight.

They simply valued Lappland's strength and her willingness to hold back.

This raises a question. Swire poked Yun Yi's exposed forearm with her finger and whispered, "Yun Yi, do you feel pain?"

Yun Yi's desired real combat experience certainly wouldn't just involve hiding in the cockpit and letting the mechs go into battle.

Instead, it will involve hand-to-hand combat and weapons.

Even if Yun Yi is not injured or dies, he will still suffer greatly if he feels pain.

"Of course you can feel pain." Yun Yi raised his hand and gently wrapped it around Shi Huaiya's fidgeting fingers, the soft touch sending an unreserved response to Yun Yi's brain.

Just like this vivid tactile sensation, all her nerve responses were not weakened in the slightest because she was in a game body; on the contrary, they were enhanced considerably.

But this wasn't a burden for Yunyi: "How can the body and mind learn a lesson without pain?"

Yunyi's mind is now very clear: without formal, firsthand experience, theory will always remain theory.

An experience without pain or real physical sensation is not considered personal or formal.

She had no problem going full speed in simulation mode, but the fact that she failed miserably in real-world testing is a prime example.

This is also why Yun Yi was tempted to have Lappland as his sparring partner when he heard Lappland shout "fight!"

Swire withdrew her fingertips and nodded in agreement with Yun Yi's point of view: "It's good that you're mentally prepared for this."

Vivid combat is never a good experience—except for those who can derive pleasure from it.

"I'm ready!"

Yunyi is full of energy.

I hope you'll still be this energetic even when you get hit.

Swire had no hope that Yun Yi, who exuded an air of naivety, could persevere.

I'll offer some comfort later.

As for now...

"Alright, let's go back to find Old Chen." Swire patted Yun Yi, who was still excitedly daydreaming, her voice revealing a hint of suppressed fatigue: "After seeing Old Chen, we'll go back to rest."

"Mm!" Yun Yi replied, then looked down and saw the weariness in Shi Huaiya's eyes. He couldn't help but say, "Why don't we just go back and rest? You seem to be—"

"Have you forgotten that my terminal is broken? It's a standard Guard Bureau model, and only Old Chen can fix it."

We must get Chen to find someone to determine exactly when the wiretapping started, and we also need to catch the person behind the scenes who might know Yun Yi's information.

Shi Huaiya took a step forward, raised her eyes to signal Yun Yi to follow: "It's just the last step, I'm not that delicate."

"Uh, okay." Yun Yi was a beat slow to realize that there was a terminal being monitored.

Is this a plan to ask Chen to help investigate?

That definitely requires a meeting.

Knowing that Swire had no choice but to go, Yunyi immediately thought of ways to lighten Swire's burden and alleviate her fatigue.

So she held out her hand, indicating, "Shall I carry that for you?"

Shi Huaiya glanced at Yun Yi's hand.

The fingers are slender and even, with slightly rounded knuckles, and the light green veins on the wrist are faintly visible. The skin radiates a delicate, soft glow.

When Yun Yi spread his five fingers, a faint fragrance wafted around him.

It makes people feel that it looks good and works well.

Don't misunderstand, Swire meant that Yun Yi's hands looked steady, making him suitable to help her carry things.

Swire was happy to relax and simply hung the bag and chain hammer, which were a bit bulky for her now, on this hand.

Yunyi's beautiful arm muscle lines were instantly taut.

She turned her fingers in surprise to adjust her grip, making sure she had a firm hold on the two objects that were about to slip away: "...Why are they so heavy?"

“It’s because your strength is too weak,” Swire said as she walked.

"I thought Hoshiguma was strong because of her large size, but it turns out you're strong too?" Yun Yi caught up with Swire after adjusting himself, muttering, "Is Chen this strong too?"

"In terms of sheer strength, Hoshiguma is indeed stronger. Old Chen is a bit weaker than Hoshiguma. She's better at wielding her sword. As for me, I prefer to use tactics."

In other words, in terms of sheer strength, Shi Huaiya doesn't rank high.

"Then how weak am I?" Yun Yi pursed his lips.

Swire, whose strength is not among the top, can crack a wall with a single punch. She can barely hold the things she usually carries. So how weak must her strength be in Terra, which is at most slightly stronger than in her previous life?

“Little…” Swire hesitated for a moment, “I would say you are at the level of an ordinary citizen. An ordinary adult Zalak is a little weaker than you, and an adult Pero is a little stronger than you.”

As for the three of them, they are professionals, and their standards of judgment are certainly not the same as those of ordinary citizens.

Even Swire, who is the weakest, is considered to be among the strongest of the common races like the Feline.

However, Hoshiguma and Chen are an Oni and a Dragon, respectively. Their racial talents, combined with their hard work, completely outclassed her.

Yun Yi was shocked by Shi Huaiya's assessment: "If you calculate it, doesn't that mean that anyone who exercises even a little bit is stronger and more physically robust than me?"

Yun Yi's physique and strength are directly linked; low strength indicates a weak physique.

No wonder she almost got dizzy driving at full speed; she's such a bad driver.

Could it be that anyone with even a little bit of skill could empty her stamina bar in one hit and knock her unconscious on the spot?

—At least one serious punch from Swire would definitely be enough to send her packing.

Yun Yi shuddered.

No, next time I need to upgrade and get points, I need to improve my physique first, otherwise my body won't be able to keep up with the intensity of Swire and the others' battles.

As Yun Yi clenched his fist and made up his mind, the two walked to the office door.

“I can do it myself this time.” Swire stopped Yun Yi from his reverie, gesturing for him to hand her the terminal, a bright and friendly smile on her face: “Thank you for helping me install the terminal, give it to me now.”

Faced with Swire's acting skills, Yunyi silently pretended to take out a clearly damaged terminal from his clothes and placed it in Swire's palm.

"I'll be right back." Swire waved the terminal, then turned and walked into the office alone.

Soon, two angry shouts, thick with tension, erupted in the office—"I'm the boss!" "You'll regret this!"

The emotions were so intense that they felt like they weren't real; the wine seemed fake.

Before the roar had even faded, Swire calmly slammed the door shut and left empty-handed.

"This is?"

Swire straightened her slightly crooked orange bow tie and said stubbornly, "Hmph, that's all. A certain rice noodle roll dragon just broke down."

Yun Yi didn't believe it, but in the end it was obviously Shi Huai Ya who broke down, right?

But regardless of his disbelief, Yun Yi, who considered himself to have matured, didn't expect to say it out loud, thus avoiding the possibility of further breaking down Shi Huaiya's defenses.

Swire noticed something; a few red marks appeared on her neck. She turned her head and coughed, then turned to leave: "Cough, what are you looking at me for? It's all over. We should go back."

Yun Yi didn't move, which puzzled her.

You only had a short time in the office, enough to talk about a terminal, right?

Did you really make a special trip just to deliver a terminal?

She thought that after Swire calmed down, she would go back in and talk to Chen again, but instead—"That's it?"

“That’s it.” Swire let out a breath, grabbed Yun Yi’s sleeve, and pulled her towards the exit of the Guard Bureau, repeating, “Let’s go back.”

Back in the driver's seat, I organized the intelligence from this trip.

Go back to the coffee shop and have a good rest.

ps:

The various races of Terra truly embody what it means to be a bloodline warrior.

Of course, there are various exceptions.

Volume 2: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 44 Why do they all like to use such grand displays!

On the way back, Swire walked quickly, showing no signs of fatigue.

Halfway there, Swire pulled out a little film with orange tips from a corner, gave it a couple of instructions, and then let it go, allowing it to run away quickly.

"Your person?" Yun Yi thought of the female film that Dai Shi Huaiya delivered the terminal to.

Swire shook her head: "No, family members."

"Oh..." Chen seemed to have mentioned before that the Swire family had come to ask for someone?

"Go back first."

"it is good."

The two continued on their way to the coffee shop and arrived quickly.

Outside the coffee shop, Yun Yi glanced around and saw that everything was still the same as before.
