Arknights strategy guide, from entry to hatchet

"Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit next time. I wish you a happy date tonight!" The red-haired Fidia girl bowed slightly and sent the last customer out the door, then stretched out comfortably. .

Originally, there were more couples going on dates on the weekend, and it happened to coincide with Valentine's Day, so today's business was particularly good. Not only were the orders fully booked, but many customers came to the store to buy in person.

"Sister Vanya, do you want to bring a few more pots of roses to the front?" Lada's questioning voice came from the greenhouse, but it was different from the usual energetic one. The girl's voice was obviously tired. It is not difficult to imagine this. How much work is done in a day.

"No need to move anymore, let's close up and call it a day." Jiu looked at the wall clock on the wall, flipped over the "Open" sign, and handed a towel to Lada's hand, "Hurry up and wipe it off, I'm really tired today. Yes, I’ll give you a salary increase later.”

"Thank you, boss lady. Although I'm happy to have a rest, at this time...don't you also..." Lada also looked back at the wall clock, with an ambiguous smile on her face.

It's only 05:30 now. Flower shops are usually open until six o'clock. Moreover, with the popularity of business today, if we wait a little longer, there may be a large number of customers coming.

She clearly remembered that on Valentine's Day in previous years, Jiudu would extend its business hours, but this year was actually a bit abnormal, coupled with the familiar process of leaving get off work early and the familiar process of chasing people away...

An inexplicable sense of déjà vu arose spontaneously.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?" Before Lada could guarantee that this time she had thought carefully and had definitely not forgotten anything, Jiu tapped her on the forehead, "Haven't you noticed that those things are suitable for you?" Have all the varieties for your girlfriend been sold out?”

"It seems really..." Rada looked around the flower shop and found that the popular fancy varieties such as Blue Enchantress and Three-Handed Rose had been sold out. Even the last few red roses had been sold out by the one who had just left. A customer bought it.

"It's getting late, I'll take you home." While she was in a daze, Jiu had already walked to the door of the store, shaking the car keys in his hand and said.

"Oh, okay!" Lada checked that nothing was left behind and quickly got into Jiu's car.

She always felt that there was a big problem between the two of them, but considering that she had broken the good news twice in a row before, she could only suppress her desire to explore the gossip and planned to stay at home no matter what happened tonight.

But after seeing her off, the car drove straight towards Jiu's residence.

Is it really a mistake? The boss lady didn't plan to go on a date with that handsome and gentle brother tonight?

------------------------------

Driving to the downstairs of the apartment, Jiu frowned as he looked at the pairs of passers-by on the street.

Valentine's Day?

It's nothing more than a gimmick deliberately created by those dealers because they can't sell the goods. Not only are the things more expensive than usual, but they also cause inconvenience to other people's lives.

For example...she came to the restaurant she frequented with a glimmer of hope. She just glanced at the long queue outside and the men and women making love to each other. Then she immediately lost interest in waiting and turned around and walked into a convenience store to buy some fast food.

So it's very annoying that these guys who are showing off their affection can't think about what it's like to be single... and how do people who can't cook feel?As the old saying goes, show affection and it will break up quickly!

As for finding a boyfriend to show off to, this kind of thing is still too unrealistic. Even when she was in the Longmen Guards Bureau, she didn't think anyone could make her attracted, let alone anyone who would like her.

Now, as a spy lurking in Chernobog, it is almost impossible to interact with the opposite sex. That will greatly increase the discipline of being exposed, not to mention... she is still an infected person.

Huh, love or something is still too unrealistic.

In a daze, she remembered that on Valentine's Day one year, Hui Jie was arranged to go on a blind date by her family. As a result, the girl ran back midway and shouted that instead of having dinner with those pretty boys, it would be more meaningful to catch a few criminals.

I don’t know if anyone has subdued that girl. If she really has a boyfriend, I must use this paragraph to tease her when we meet again.Thinking back to Chen, who was also a straight woman, Jiu couldn't help but smile.

I decided to add a piece of ham to the instant noodles later.

Normally, she wouldn't think about what is and isn't. With this free time, she might as well think about how to further gain the trust of the integration movement. But under today's series of stimulations, she felt something in her heart. .

When he opened the door, he saw a house that was supposed to be empty, but instead came a male voice humming a tune, and the smell of food.

"Ninth Sister?! Ah... just wait a moment, the food will be ready soon." Qin Xiaolang was slightly stunned when he came out to get the ingredients, then turned back to the kitchen and continued to work.

The natural tone and busy state made it seem as if Qin Xiaolang was the owner of the house. Jiuxian sat upright on the sofa. After a moment of silence, he remembered that this was her home and hurriedly rushed into the kitchen.

"Why are you here?" she asked doubtfully.

Qin Xiaolang came here that night, and Jiu also gave him a spare key.

After all, the two of them are still intelligence officers of the Longmen Guards Bureau. Some information and secrets need to be handed over in private. The flower shop is a place well known by the integration movement, which is somewhat inconvenient.

But Qin Xiaolang should be discussing business with a certain noble at this moment, why did he suddenly appear at her house?

"Forget it, those medals are thrown into my hands." Qin Xiaolang skillfully took the fish balls and said without looking back, "I don't know who is in a hurry to spend money and buy a batch of rarer medals at a very low price. The medal was sold to Count Varduk, so I left early before the matter was settled."

"Then you should go back to the hotel. As I said before, don't come here without important information..." Jiu sniffed the aroma in the pot and immediately guessed that it was simmering kudzu bone soup.

"Of course I have important information. Maybe I can use it to improve the success rate of persuading Director Azazel." Qin Xiaolang replied with a smile, and picked up the spoon and put it in front of Jiu, "And I guessed You don’t know how to cook, so you must eat fast food tonight. That food is too nutritious, what if you get sick from it?”

"The soup tastes good... No, how did you guess it?" Jiuxian took a sip of bone soup, showing a look of enjoyment, and then asked.

"It's too obvious." Qin Xiaolang pointed to the cabinet and explained patiently:

"Although your seasonings and kitchen utensils are complete, there is such a thick layer of dust on them, and the gas meter has not been touched at all. When I took the drinks, I saw that there were no fresh ingredients in the refrigerator. They were all microwave ready-to-eat foods. This shows that you never Turn on the fire and cook.”

"I passed by the shop downstairs from your home that night, and the boss said hello to you, saying that you often went to their house, and probably had dinner there. I saw that there were many customers in the shop late at night, which means Their business is very good, and there is a billboard advertising couples’ discounts at the door, so it will definitely be full on Valentine’s Day.”

"And for today's business, I planned several cocktail parties and dinners, but suddenly I was free and had nothing to do. I thought that I would be idle anyway, so I might as well come and sit here with you."

"...Okay then, I'll get a drink. What do you want to drink?" I don't know if it was the long-lost smell of Longmen cuisine or some other reason, but Jiu Gui nodded eccentrically.

People are already here, so we can’t just kick them out.

A moment later, Jiuduan sat at the dining table, looking at Qin Xiaolang directly opposite him, and suddenly thought for no reason, was this considered... Phew, it was just a meal, it shouldn't be considered a date.

Besides, it’s not necessarily what people think. Didn’t he already say that he has someone he likes?

Jiu shook his head, feeling that he was too deeply influenced by those couples to have such messy thoughts.

Chapter 68 Because I didn’t flirt, so I flirted

On Valentine's Day, a man and a woman had dinner together.

Such a scene should be full of ambiguity and romance, but the man and woman sitting at the table looked businesslike, discussing work matters in a serious and serious tone.

The information about the integration movement was selectively told to Jiu that night and sent back to Longmen through secret channels. At this moment, he finally got a receipt from there: continue to perform the mission and collect more intelligence.

This was not beyond Qin Xiaolang's expectation.

He provided only vague information, befitting the perspective of a man who was closely guarded and only begrudgingly trusted.

For example, the leader of the opponent is a young woman with silver hair and black dragon horns. Among the other leaders is a strong man three to four meters tall, who seems to be a certain Wendigo.

This was the result of careful consideration. After all, Froststar and Tallulah gave him the opportunity to access various secrets of the Integration Movement because of their trust and love for him.

Qin Xiaolang admitted that he was a scumbag with no integrity at all, but it would be too disdainful to do this. Providing this information was worthy of the old leader's salary and funds.

Moreover, the mission target was directly captured in one winter, and a high-level leader, a middle-level cadre, and a girl who seemed insignificant but could affect the mission target were also attached. This result was a bit too shocking.

If he really wants to report it truthfully, let alone whether Jiu Hui will believe it or not, Longmen will definitely think that he is out of his mind, but Sir Chen and the others will not have any doubts about this, but it will make him never want to step into it in his life. One step to the gantry.

The girls had residual resentments that needed to be resolved, but after such a stimulus, they would definitely tear him to pieces on the spot.

In addition, the girls here haven't completely figured it out yet. Unless he accidentally overturned, Qin Xiaolang has no intention of giving up halfway. This follow-up is undoubtedly the result he wants to see most.

"...I will pay attention to the things you mentioned. If it is as you guessed, the probability of persuading Azazel to cooperate will be greatly improved." After the conversation was over, Jiu picked a few scale fish balls in the bowl. , then he said with praise, "Especially this scale fish ball, it is better than the chefs in those big hotels."

"Of course. I used to work under the best fish ball chef in Longmen. Have you heard of Dong's scale fish balls? That's a cooking skill. Even if I've become unfamiliar with it in the past few years, I still have the foundation to keep it. Qin Xiaolang said with a smile, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

Compared to how tired I am now, it would be more relaxing to follow Uncle Dong to catch fish balls.

"Dong's scale fish balls? I seem to have heard from my colleagues that they are quite famous in the slums...wait, you?" Jiu looked thoughtful and said with some uncertainty, and then looked at him in surprise.

"Ha, do you really think I was born with a silver spoon?" Qin Xiaolang shrugged his shoulders, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, "I used to be a street kid from the slums, but after joining the Guards Bureau It’s just a matter of having a good teacher to teach you step by step.”

No, Cerebellar Ax was not only a hand-to-hand teaching, but also a private mouth-to-mouth teaching. If Qin Xiaolang couldn't learn it anymore, it would be a shame for her dedicated teaching.

"Is there such a capable person in the Guards Bureau? Is he a new person who joined after I left?" Jiu was a little surprised. He went through all the familiar people in his mind, but he never thought of a suitable candidate.

"Actually, you know her, Missy." Qin Xiaolang didn't show off and directly told the answer.

"That girl... I remember that she was quarreling with Hui Jie every day at that time. The two of them were fighting over trivial matters every day, but they forgot that she was also a young lady." Jiu revealed a look of surprise, recalling the early days. version of the dragon-tiger fight, I couldn’t help but cover my mouth and snicker.

"It's not much better now. Even though we are already independent big shots, we still quarrel when we meet." Qin Xiaolang also thought of the way the two girls quarreled in the past, and also smiled.

Well, the few times they had the biggest fights seemed to be because of him.

"Longmen... I don't know when I will go back next time." After chatting about some interesting things about the Guards Bureau, Jiu suddenly sighed, "Can you have a drink? Drink a little with me."

It was different from the scene when the two first met. First, they were stimulated by the couple and felt lonely. Then there were dishes full of hometown flavor, and they were able to communicate in Yanguo dialect for the first time in a long time. This couldn't help but arouse Jiu's homesickness.

"I have an average drinking capacity, so I'll have a good time with Sister Gui. Occasionally I can kill her alone." Qin Xiaolang said seriously. On the eve of his overturn, he could indeed drink with Sister Gui until midnight every time and then go home happily.

If he insists on a fight, maybe the ghost sister will fall into his arms "too drunk" and take the initiative to be killed alone.

"Heh, just brag. With your small body, Xingxiong probably let you down." Jiu rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Don't be brave, I won't let anyone stay overnight."

Although she couldn't say that she was too familiar with them, she still had an impression of the ghost clan that Wei Yanwu specially recruited, especially since Xing Xiong had drunkenly drank a group of them several times.

But while drinking and chatting, she became more and more frightened.

This guy is really a bit like Hoshikuma. Except for taking the initiative to propose a toast at the beginning, he waited for her to clink glasses for the rest of the time. Moreover, this time he raised his head and drank with the rim of the glass facing down, with a prominent "I'll do whatever you want," Take whatever comes."

Slowly, as wine bottles gradually filled the table, Jiu's eyes gradually became blurred, and his speech began to become slurred, giving people the illusion that he would collapse at any time.

Seeing this subtle state, people who frequent bars will smile knowingly and step up their attack pace.

"Sorry, I really can't drink anymore. Just have fun tonight. It's getting late and I should leave. Sister Ninth, it's better to go to bed quickly and be careful of catching a cold." But Qin Xiaolang suddenly waved his hand and gave up, drinking. He drank the last of his whiskey and stood up to say goodbye.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow. Don't worry about the things. I'll get up and pack them tomorrow!" Jiu raised his head and waved to him, responded casually, and leaned on the chair to rest.

On the other side, after confirming that the water and electricity were ignited, Qin Xiaolang closed the door with a click.

Listening to the footsteps gradually receding, Jiuyan, who had been in a daze, suddenly regained his energy, with a happy smile on his face, and he picked up the mess like a normal person.

If you dare to drink at the same table as Ghost Sister, how bad can your drinking capacity be?Not to mention that she had stayed in Ursus for several years and ran a business of selling private wine, so her drinking capacity would only be stronger than it was then.

But there are many cases of drunkenness causing trouble, especially since the two people have special identities. What if they drink too much and talk nonsense?That's why she pretended to have drunk too much, planning to find an opportunity to end the drinking party and see Qin Xiaolang's reaction.

No wonder she was [-]-[-] with Xing Xiong. She just had the same idea of ​​just drinking and having fun. Moreover, Qin Xiaolang's subsequent performance also made her very satisfied.

It really just looks like a slut, but in fact he is a gentleman.

Confirming the situation in the room to ensure Jiu's safety is enough to show that he is careful and considerate, and at the same time he has a good sense of distance. After confirming these issues, he quickly left.

After all, the two of them are at best colleagues who recognize each other, and they are not close to that level yet. If they stay to help clean up the house and cover themselves with a bed and stall, it would have an ulterior motive.

As expected, he is someone who has a girlfriend. He knows how to do things appropriately, can cook, and is very sweet-talking... He has a flirtatious temperament. Even if he knows it's for work, he won't mess around with her, and the woman will still do it. Would you be very jealous?

I don’t know who the lucky and unfortunate girl is.

Speaking of which, that guy is quite comfortable to hold, and the perfume he uses doesn't smell unpleasant. Oh, maybe it's not the perfume but...ah, what on earth am I thinking? Drinking too much alcohol has affected my brain!

Jiu patted her reddish cheeks, planning to take a nap and forget these random thoughts.

------------------------------

[Invitation mission: Lover, robbery

Although Jiu’s impression of you has improved, it’s still far from enough for the guide. Just take advantage of the rare opportunity of Valentine’s Day to have a date with this beautiful lady.

Mission reward: Nine favorability points +5, the insight trait is upgraded to being able to see the smallest details, and the tactical planning attribute is slightly improved]

Looking at the completed invitation task, he opened his phone and opened a chat software. Among the few contacts, the avatar of a bear named "Vanilla Ice Cream Lover" was flashing.

"Handsome big brother, how are you doing?"

"Ah, why didn't you reply to me? Did you get kicked out by the landlady?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Are you planning to cross the river and burn the bridge?"

"It went very well. Thank you very much for the little intelligence officer's help. Next time, Queen Hagen can choose whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't get a bad stomach!" Qin Xiaolang replied with a smile and added a laughing seagull expression.

Originally, because the business deal had not been concluded, he planned to go back to the hotel to rest early. He was still sighing in his heart that there were so many girls around him this year, but it was such a good time to promote relationships, but he couldn't meet any of them.

As a result, Rada sent him a message, telling him that the flower shop would get off work early today and that the proprietress was on her way home, thus activating the invitation task.

What else is there to say? Qin Xiaolang immediately changed course and ran straight to Jiu's apartment. On the grounds that he had business to discuss, and a table of Yanguo dishes that blocked Jiu's mouth, he successfully had dinner with her.

that's enough.

As for flirting and talking about love, there is no need to do anything extra.

Jiu had already seen him getting close to other young ladies. If he still followed the old method, it would easily arouse the girl's vigilance and think that he regarded the girl as a hunting target.

By then, not only will the image of affectionateness created that night be completely shattered, but they will also be completely labeled as scum. The relationship between the two will even drop to a freezing point. Even if there will still be communication due to work, it is impossible to continue to develop. Yes.

Anyway, no matter how much Jiuzai didn't want to admit it, just by having dinner together on Valentine's Day, an ambiguous atmosphere was already brewing, which would have an impact on her to some extent.

So it is better to behave like a gentleman, further strengthen the impression in the girl's mind, and at the same time arouse her curiosity about herself, and lure the snake out of the hole with all its might.

Well, because I didn't flirt, I flirted. This is a philosophical question.

Chapter 69 Is it just a joke...?

After spending a few days peacefully like this, Qin Xiaolang came to the flower shop as usual.

"Sister Ninth, I will trouble you to get rid of the remaining antiques." He made a list and handed it to Jiu. "At that time, these funds can be used to set up a leather bag company to facilitate Mikhail's purchase. Supplies.”
