I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Page 64

Since entering the modern era, the soldiers of various countries today are either particularly bad or particularly strong.

I'd guess Lapland served in some country's army.

Swire, due to some misleading information, did not take into account the special circumstances of Syracuse.

After secretly making plans, she mobilized her connections to conduct a preliminary investigation into the other party based on this clue, at least to find out their background—after all, they were her future, no, current, business partner.

"Warrior?" Yun Yi frowned. Although she always felt that Lappland's crazy appearance made her seem like a berserker, she was actually an assassin.

This can be seen from Lappland's ferocious yet elusive fighting style—oh, Swire didn't see it.

Yun Yi suddenly realized, raised his hand and patted Swire, who was deep in thought, "Swire, Lappland must be the assassin."

As she spoke, she gave a detailed account of how Lappland had fought her.

“Indeed…” He doesn’t look like a soldier.

Shi Huaiya pondered, not as Yun Yi thought, that the warrior was upright and honorable while the assassin was elusive and unpredictable, but rather it was a matter of coordination.

Lappland's playstyle sounds exactly like a lone wolf, which is completely out of step with the team-oriented military combat style.

It's not that such armies don't exist, but those are basically top-tier legions. Lappland not only looks like a person but is also a Rupert, so we can rule out that possibility.

He's not a warrior, yet he exudes such a fierce aura?

It couldn't possibly be a real assassin, could it? What assassin exudes murderous intent instead of pure killing power? How many people would he have killed single-handedly?

Wait, it's Rupert again, the ruthless killer from Syracuse?

Wouldn't it be very troublesome for powerful people to come and go from that place?

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 102 Yun Yi: I sincerely admire those who put their names in product names.

But given Syracuse's unique social ecology, which is both chaotic and orderly... it's hard to say for sure; we'll have to investigate.

After a moment's thought, Shi Huaiya added a new task to her task list, while also affirming Yun Yi, "Yun Yi, you're right, Miss Lappland really might be an assassin."

"I knew it!" Yun Yi's face lit up with joy, his tone filled with undisguised pride.

She had been ambushed by Lappland no less than fifty times, and in her opinion, Lappland could not possibly be anyone else.

“This time you stuck to your reasonable guess and presented the relevant information to convince me—great!…” Swire took the opportunity to continuously boost Yun Yi’s confidence—a confident person, given some support, is also more proactive in doing things.

What Yunyi lacks now is initiative. As long as the other party takes the initiative, with their remarkable abilities, how could she not integrate into this land and cause unnecessary anxiety?

Yun Yi was completely unaware of Shi Huaiya's considerations; if she had known, she would have been both amused and exasperated.

Yun Yi is actually not lacking in initiative. In her previous life, as someone who became an orphan halfway through life but was almost like one, how could she have had savings or started a business if she didn't take initiative?

What she lacks are friends, family, and that familiarity that allows her soul to find a moment's rest—the long-lasting and continuous driving force in life built upon these.

However, although Swire's considerations were somewhat biased, her guidance methods were indeed in line with Yun Yi's preferences.

A barrage of well-reasoned praise kept Yun Yi's lips twitching, his eyes fixed on Shi Huaiya's sincere smile, so much so that he ignored the thick smoke that suddenly rose from the other side of the driver's compartment.

The driving space is, literally, a separate space. The area where the prison, supplies, and barbarian chicks were previously located is the center of this space, which is a vast distance away from the area where the battle sand table is set up.

As the owner of the space, Yun Yi should have been able to detect the movements from a great distance, but because Shi Huaiya was distracted, he didn't notice at all.

As for Swire herself, she couldn't see clearly or hear much through the thick white fog.

And so, she unwittingly became a "femme fatale"—just as they were talking, the projection in front of them suddenly went white.

Then, a series of sudden, deafening explosions startled them.

It wasn't because the explosion was loud or powerful, but rather...

“That familiar explosion sound.” Swire raised her hand to cover her tiger ear, the tips of her ear trembling slightly between her fingers.

She sighed helplessly; her ears were being tortured, all because of Yun Yi's men. "Go and deal with this quickly. Part of the prison must have been destroyed by them. Remember, when dealing with the victims, you can be tough if necessary—but don't break the law."

"Uh, okay, right away!" Yun Yi promised awkwardly, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the distance, next to the prison that had collapsed "not seriously" and was at least not yet exposed to the elements.

Yun Yi's figure was just solid, and 001 and 002 were already consciously carrying a huge, smoking thing, swaying and floating towards her.

At first glance, this thing looks very similar to the signal tower in the coffee shop.

Yunyi stepped forward, placed his hand on the collapsing signal tower to control it, and freed the two barbarian chicks.

"Chirp—" I'm exhausted—

001 released the signal tower and slumped in mid-air, wiping the cartoonish sweat from its fluffy yellow face. "Chirp!" Thank you, Commander!

"Chirp." Thank you, Commander.

002 did not let go of the signal tower. While thanking it, it held onto the tower's cable and drifted back and forth along the designated route to carry out repairs. The black smoke around the signal tower was visibly decreasing.

"You're welcome—no, I came to ask you why it exploded again!" Yun Yi subconsciously waved his free hand, then realized what he meant.

She put one hand on her hip and sternly swept her gaze over the two wild chicks, whose fur immediately bristled. "Confess honestly."

After looking at each other for a moment, 002 stepped forward and chirped, "Chirp!" This was the normal procedure for the experiment!

It immediately pounced forward and hugged Yun Yi's leg, "Chirp..." So, Commander, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself...

001 swam over and hugged Yun Yi's other thigh, "Chirp!" Sorry, Commander! I got so engrossed in my research with 002 that I forgot to remember your instructions!

"You two are quite eager to admit your mistakes." Yun Yi pulled Manjiu off his legs, one on each side.

The signal tower suddenly went out of control and was slowly drifting away with the ocean currents.

002 stretched out its wings and hooked it, chuckling, "Chirp." I was careful this time.

"Chirp!" That time at the coffee shop was an accident, an accident!

002 tried to prove itself, pointing to the only building in this space, "Chirp chirp!" See, this time, the building isn't damaged!

Yun Yi followed the small wing's gaze and narrowed his eyes. "This is what you mean by 'no damage'? Cracks don't count as damage? Or do you think that if it hasn't collapsed, it's not broken?"

The prison, which was originally pitch black and angular, is now covered with cracks from top to bottom and inside to outside, with a few specks of white light flickering erratically in the cracks—it hasn't collapsed yet, but it's not far off.

How did those two manage to blow up the prison like this? Hopefully they don't get caught, that would be a huge problem!

Yun Yi's thoughts reached out to the prison from afar. The out-of-control incandescent light inside not only filled every crevice outwards but also permeated every corner inwards, causing the entire prison to flicker incessantly.

The victims, including three temporary workers, all remained motionless in their cells with their eyes closed.

A thin, blue film spreading from the cell bars glowed faintly, protecting them—no one was injured, and no one noticed anything amiss outside.

"Phew, thankfully there were no casualties or leaks." Yun Yi put down 001 and waved his hand to restore the prison to its original state.

She poked the culprit 002, who looked guilty, stared at its cute furry face, and shook her finger helplessly. "Fine, I'll be more careful next time—tell me, what caused the explosion this time?"

"Chirp!" Commander, I have fulfilled your request!

Speaking of this, 002 instantly stood tall and proud under Yun Yi's command.

It pulled something exactly like a cell phone from its furry coat and handed it to Yunyi. "Chirp!" Hand—"Yunyi" Terminal, Version 1!

"Chirp chirp chirp!" It perfectly meets the commander's requirements. At the same time, I have also equipped it with detection and interception functions as you wished, ensuring that no one can escape your sight!

"...Why is the terminal named after me? I've changed it!" The first thing Yun Yi did after taking the terminal was to reject it—naming it after himself was just too embarrassing!

"Chirp? Chirp!" Why change it? It sounds so good! 001 stood by, puzzled.

002 simply pulled out a pen and paper, "Chirp! Chirp?" The commander has his reasons! Commander, what would you like to change it to?

"I just don't like having my name attached to other things." Yun Yi scratched his face, embarrassed by the compliment, and said, "I haven't decided what to change it to yet, I'll talk about it later."

"In short, you caused the Big Bang to make this terminal, right?"

Yun Yi steered the conversation back to business. She turned on her terminal, went directly to the main interface, and clicked on the apps one by one. "Hmm... once the content is added, it's almost no different from the phone I used before."

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 103 Shi Huaiya: Who taught you to hug people like that! (_)

"It's just your aesthetic sense... I remember you decorated the bedroom and coffee shop quite well, right?" Yun Yi looked at the uniformly yellow interface and icons, scratched his head, and said, "Well, it's alright, thank you."

"Chirp~" You're welcome~

A distinct cartoonish blush appeared simultaneously on 001 and 002's furry faces, and fantasy bubbles floated on their foreheads.

Inside 001's bubble, a paper doll version of Yunyi is playing with 001, lifting her up high while praising her, "Well done."

In 002's fantasy bubble, a realistic version of Yun Yi solemnly surveys the signal tower, then pats 002 on the head and says, "Not bad."

"..." Yun Yi was embarrassed; the barbarian chicks were quite self-sufficient.

Seeing that the two chickens' fantasy wouldn't end anytime soon, Yunyi continued to fiddle with the unnamed first version terminal, examining it closely.

Upon opening the terminal, the first page of the interface displayed the basic functions of her previous life's mobile phone, such as "Phone," "SMS," and "Alarm Clock."

The second and third pages are mainly social, entertainment, and payment platforms such as "Xin", "Xbo", and "Xyin".

Pages four and five contain various websites, maps, office software, etc., with incomplete frameworks.

Page 6 is dominated by two purely anti-human software programs: "Interception" and "Detection".

At Yunyi's previous request, the last page of the interface contained a whole set of bizarre game software—all just shells with only descriptions and no content.

As Yunyi flipped through the pages, she pondered. To be honest, she never expected that 002 could create such a fully functional terminal in the new world so quickly.

So here's the problem: many of these features are used and built by multiple people, and some even require the participation of people from at least one community or country to be fully utilized.

How can someone who is being chased and arrested quickly implement this version of the terminal?

I can't figure it out!

"We've already done all this, we've already seen it all, it feels like we're missing out if we don't implement it soon." Yun Yi muttered unwillingly, his mind constantly searching through the past, hoping to find a way to break the deadlock.

As she pondered, the image of Swire's earlier outburst at the signal tower and her yearning for seamless communication across Terra suddenly flashed into her mind.

"--This can be completely left to Swire."

Yun Yi thought to herself, if she can't do it, then why can't Swire do it?

However, since we intend to entrust this task to them, some information cannot be ambiguous; otherwise, we risk being disliked by them for speaking without evidence.

Yun Yi turned his gaze toward the signal tower.

After maintenance by 002, the black smoke emanating from the signal tower had thinned to the size of silk threads, and it was operating with a creaking sound.

It's impossible to tell that this is a revolutionary technology that can help Terra ignore natural disaster zones and achieve network connectivity across the entire continent.

When Yun Yi translated 002's explanation of the signal tower, he remembered a little bit. The most important thing about this signal tower is its black technology signal that can ignore spacetime interference.

Also known as the Rubik's Cube Signal, it originates from a concept called "Mind Cube" in the worldview of Manjuu's hometown.

This substance can be viewed as a special kind of "energy" that is extremely clean and highly concentrated (this is one of its applications).

It's at a very high level, perhaps not quite at the multiverse level, but its cross-dimensional abilities are undeniable—the Terrans can't replicate it, at least not in the short term, not even for the next few hundred years; it can only be provided by her and Manjuu.

Swire would surely like this absolute monopoly. They could simply provide the technology while the other party does the work – wouldn't that be wonderful?

"It's all up to you now." Yun Yi patted the ugly signal tower with satisfaction.

Hearing the sound of metal being struck, 002 was jolted out of her reverie, and shook her head before looking over.

Seeing that it was Yunyi inspecting the signal tower, it immediately squinted its eyes and proudly introduced her, "Chirp chirp!"

This is the Cube signal transmitter 3.1.24. It no longer needs to rely on the flying communication repeater that is easily stolen by the lively locals. It can rely on the Cube signal to ignore distance, bypass the interference of Originium crystals and natural disaster energy, fly over complex terrain, and stably transmit various messages!

"?" She seems to be hallucinating? What did 002 just say?

Yun Yi paused for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "You mean, just one of these can achieve signal connectivity across the entire surface?"

What a ridiculous fantasy!

"Chirp—" One isn't enough—

002 shook her head, and Yun Yi immediately felt relieved. How to put it, she didn't hate absurd things, but she couldn't calmly accept things that shattered her worldview.
