Ark Simulator, we're just friends, right?

And this subtle change in expression happened to be captured by Eka Anta, and how could she, as a hidden fun person, give up this opportunity and immediately launched a new action.

"What's the matter? My little secretary doesn't think he's not even my partner, does he? Isn't it? Isn't it?" Seeing that the white-faced owl reacted, Ekaanta immediately became eccentric with joy.

Although the sad look of the white-faced owl just now made me feel a little uncomfortable, but this kind of belated appearance of being tricked can almost contract the excitement of this season.

"Am I so unkind to the white-faced owl? I'm so sad..." His tone became resentful and sad, as if Ekaanta was the one being teased.

"No, Director, I didn't mean that, I just..."

The white-faced owl's face also turned red immediately, and his plain voice trembled slightly as he hurriedly explained, which made Eka Anta burst out laughing.

"Puff—hahaha, my little secretary, you are so cute, I reward you for patting your head (,,?oωo)ノ"(?っωo｀.). "

After hearing the laughter, White Faced Owl's face turned even redder. She was teased again, twice in a row. After all, one is the real helm of the company, who has gone through the vicissitudes of personnel to benefit the upper class. .

Ekaanta can play with the white-faced owl at will, the kind that can be tricked into bed and give birth to a football team.

"Director! You are too much! You will be blacklisted like this!" Realizing that she was being played with, the white-faced owl felt ashamed and angry. Although the chips had been suppressing her emotions, when the emotions were agitated, those chips would also Brief failure.

In particular, Ekaanta has done a lot of tricks on the chip.

"But, I am the one with the highest authority~, how did you, an administrator, get rid of me?" Facing the threat, Ekaanta directly took out his authority.

The authority gap between her and the white-faced owl is not too big, it is equivalent to the gap between the group owner and the administrator, so the threat of the white-faced owl is a joke.

"But, eh? White-faced owl~, can you tell me why you have so much meat on your stomach? You won't be secretly eating more~"

Seeing that the white-faced owl exploded, Ekaanta immediately touched the white-faced owl's belly with both hands, randomly picked up a small ball of soft belly and flesh, and started to create something out of nothing.

This frightened the white-faced owl immediately lost his anger, and asked tremblingly: "Master, how did you know, Director?"

She did eat it secretly, but it was brought to her by Dr. Hemer. After all, they are of the same family. Hemer takes good care of the white-faced owl. In addition, the white-faced owl usually has a lot of calculations in its brain, so it naturally needs more sugar intake. .

But it should be impossible to grow fat, right? !

As for his own body, the white-faced owl has been mechanized and can only manage it, it is impossible to get out of shape! ! !

"Hmph~ I know everything!" After brazenly stealing a famous line from a certain lynx, Ekaanta looked at the slightly swollen chest of the white-faced owl, and then said in a slightly teasing and magnetic voice arrive:

"Hey, I didn't expect that even this place has grown a lot. My little secretary hides everything from me now. If he finds some wild man in the future, he might throw me in the laboratory. .”

"It's sad, isn't it? . . . Eh? What's up?"

As he spoke, a hand unconsciously brushed across the white-faced owl's chest, which had been improving for a long time. When he pointed it, it was like a leakage of electricity, which immediately overloaded the white-faced owl's core, and then began to tremble all over, repeating the warning repeatedly:

"Warning...Warning, work|mouth happening! Work|mouth happening!"

"The core of the body is overheated, and the emergency cooling has begun... Failed! The collective fell into an emergency dormancy state!"

Then he fell asleep straight away.

"not good!"

And Eka Anta also fell down, but it doesn't matter if he fell, but the problem is that the white-faced owl was in front of him, and he was smashed by himself. Although there will be no problem, Eka Anta is worried that something will happen. problem.

Don't think Ekaanta is very good at molesting the white-faced owl, but in fact it is more to stimulate the suppressed brain neurons of the white-faced owl.

After all, the chip in the white-faced owl's head has only been installed for a few days. Although it has begun to connect with the brain, it is not so stable yet.

But that's exactly what happened. As a qualified researcher and doctor, Ekaanta didn't want the white-faced owl to fall at such a time, because no one knows if an accident will really happen.

Turning over and lying on his side, after embracing the slender waist of the white-faced owl, Ekaanta's waist began to exert strength, and the bones of the source petrified wailed in a low voice. The severe pain came from the spine, but he endured the severe pain, and Ekaanta Kaanta forcibly hugged the white-faced owl in her arms and turned upwards before falling down together with the white-faced owl.

"Hiss... it hurts a bit, has the source of petrification worsened, obviously nothing has been done."

The white-faced owl lay firmly on Ekaanta's chest, and Ekaanta groaned slightly in pain. At the same time, she also found something wrong.

The source petrification of the spine began to deepen again... There is not much time left for her.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

[The peaceful daily life passed slowly like this. 】

[During this period, you and Serena went to the amusement park. Although Serena has always been as hard as a rock, at least you had a good time. 】

【You accompanied Muirseth to a scientific research conference, but you were forced to work all day. 】

[You took Hemer White-faced Owl to the shopping mall, bought a lot of things you like, and took photos on the way. 】

[You also observed the starry sky with Kristen, and you didn't fall asleep all night. 】

[But in the following time you have been in the laboratory for the final adjustment of the interference equipment, maybe it is an intuition, you feel that the days of peace are about to disappear. 】

"Did the researchers stationed at Loken find anything?"

In Kristen's office, Ekaanta was sitting on Kristen's office chair, asking about Loken's situation while processing the documents of the general governor.

Recently, she often asked about Loken's actions and intelligence, because Ekaanta always had an ominous premonition in her heart, and her Originium disease was getting worse, so that the daily supply of Originium inhibitors was no longer enough Suppresses the proliferation of origin stones in the body.

In order to avoid further deterioration of his body, Ekaanta had to increase the content of various drugs in the inhibitor by himself. Although the efficacy of the drug has been improved, it will also bring great pain, and even inject himself every night. Sometimes Ekaanta had to be used with painkillers.

As for how to explain the lack of analgesics in the laboratory, Ekaanta has not yet figured it out. Anyway, Hemo and the white-faced owl will not pay attention to this, and generally no one will go back to check the things they call, so it is not a big problem.

On the side, Christen, who was adjusting the stargazing instrument, stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, then took out a document and handed it to Ekaanta, "No big moves, but the military seems to be The pressure has begun, although Loken is talented, but lacks time, the military is all impatient, and they can't sit still after a few months without results."

Speaking of Christen, she seemed to have thought of something and said with a lucky smile: "This time I can see the true face of the military, thank you, An An, otherwise, if the military really uses Rhine's life unscrupulously, finally here I can't even imagine what it will be like."

"However, An'an... Am I very useless? I am the general manager but I don't care about anything. I even need you to deal with the documents. Am I a failure?" Kristen's voice suddenly became lost When she wakes up, she is usually intoxicated by her dreams, but ignores her own identity.

And now that she has shouldered some of the responsibilities again, Christen realizes how tiring the so-called chief executive is.

And these responsibilities would have been borne by Ekaanta, which made Kristen feel guilty, because these should have been her own responsibilities.

Hearing this, Eka Anta froze for a moment, glanced at the dejected Christen beside him in surprise, then put on a slight smile on his face, and began to process the documents again, only gently A sentence floated out:

"Who knows~"

Maybe Kristen was really irresponsible and put a lot of work pressure on herself for no reason, but in fact it was her own will.

Besides, it was her indulgence that made Kristen become what she is today, but it was also because of herself that Kristen understood the group, the collective, and understood that her dream could never be realized by herself. Even now, Kristen will take the initiative to assume some of the responsibilities of the governor, and learn to reflect on herself.

That's a lot of progress for someone like Kristen.

At least compared to the no-nonsense boss in the original plot who looked anxious and wanted to punch two fists, the current Kristen is much better.

At least the things you do can afford the word general jurisdiction.

"Eh?" Christen was a little puzzled, this half-answer made her heart itch, everyone was eager for an answer, not such ambiguous words.

What does it mean?

Christen was very confused, her tone didn't seem to think she was incompetent, but she didn't affirm herself either.

Ekaanta glanced at Kristen out of the corner of her eye, saw her little tangle, felt a little cute, and at the same time understood that Kristen had really changed.

If you don't want to take on the responsibility, why do you care?

"However, I'm very happy, Kristen." When Kristen was a little dazed and didn't know what Eka Anta meant, Eka Anta pressed the last shortcut key and took care of today's work. The last file, then looked at Kristen, leaned on the seat and got up.

Looking at the girl who had lost her childishness and complacency in the past, Ekaanta felt somewhat moved and relieved, and then said gently:

"You've grown, haven't you?"

"Compared to you who only cared about your dreams, now Christen is the top astral scholar in Columbia and even in Terra. Even when I sometimes discuss with you, I feel exhausted."

"Also, haven't you changed a lot now compared to before?"

Walking in front of Kristen, Ekaanta gently held her hands, and looked at Kristen's pale golden eyes with faint sadness, her voice was soft and melodious, like a mother encouraging a child ,

"So, don't feel that you are useless, and don't feel that you are a failure. Believe in yourself, but don't forget your responsibilities. I am just a short-term representative of your responsibilities. I, after all, have my mission..."

"However, I am very relieved of you, and I also think that you can be alone, Kristen, so come on, the future starry sky still needs you to explore."

After all, that kind of starry sky belongs to you alone.

Ekaanta didn't say the last words, she looked at Christen quietly, she believed that the girl in front of her would one day swim in the starry sky and leave her own footprints on the stars.

"An'an..." Christen was stunned, she didn't expect Eka Anta to be so sure of herself, a warm current flowed from her heart, and she hugged Eka Anta in front of her.

Ekaanta was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and hugged Christen.

No desire, no distracting thoughts, only the purest friendship, warmth and trust,

The warmth passed between the two, can Kristen realize her dream?At least according to Ekaanta, she can do it.

It's a pity that I'm afraid I'm going to break the promise of traveling the galaxy together.

In fact, Eka Anta was a little uncomfortable, thinking that she had become a person who was very easy to miss appointments since she didn't know when.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

[Time has passed for more than two months, you look at the gloomy sky outside the window, a feeling of uneasiness from the bottom of your heart makes you restless, but according to the information reported by the researcher, everything is fine. 】

[But you are still worried, so you plan to go and see for yourself, as an ordinary researcher of Rhine Life, to observe the experiment of the Loken water tank up close. 】

[Although there are certain risks, you finally overcame all opinions and decided on this action, but there is one requirement that everyone agrees on, and that is that Serena must be by your side. 】

【After weighing the pros and cons, you agreed to this request and drove to the mobile city where the Loken Laboratory is located with Serea. 】

After getting out of the car, the dark clouds covered the sun's rays, rendering an ancient Victorian style on the streets with people coming and going (refer to the atmosphere of London in the eighteenth century.)

People in suits are coming and going on the street. It is eight o'clock in the morning, which is officially the peak of the day for Colombian office workers.

Most of the buildings have a Victorian flavor but also have a unique Colombian design style. The buildings are close to each other but there are still many small alleys. The steps and fences at the entrance of the houses on the roadside seem to refer to Victorian residential buildings. There are quite a few plants and pots.

"I thought I was in Victoria."

After getting out of the car, he pressed the hat on his head. Wearing sunglasses and changing his hairstyle, Ekaanta looked at the surrounding scenery and felt as if he had come to Victoria.

The current identity of Eka Anta is the scientific researcher of Rhine Life's Origin Stone Psychiatry Department, named Antalana, who came to investigate whether the Loken water tank experiment project is still capable of further scientific research and research at the order of Rhine Life headquarters. The value of the investment.

After all, no matter how much the military supports, unless the military is willing to pay for it out of pocket, at least two-thirds of the cost before the scientific research results come out will need Rhine Life.

Although Rhein-Bio, as a scientific research giant, has a large number of patents and scientific research orders, its finances often run into deficit.

This is easy to understand, after all, the daily consumption of maintaining a huge company is huge, not to mention all kinds of messy research funding, all kinds of miscellaneous expenses and so on.

In particular, all kinds of sophisticated instruments and experimental samples used in scientific research are very expensive, and many of them are even custom-made, and ordinary people may not be able to save enough to buy them in their lifetime.

After all, in the final analysis, scientific research is burning money. If you burn more money, you may not gain anything, but if you don’t burn money, you will definitely not gain anything.

Therefore, in order to pursue more scientific research results and ensure the company's interests and finances, Rheinland Life will conduct regular inspections on various scientific research projects to see if they are worth investing in and continue researching. If they are valuable, then continue. Sorry, Rheinland is not engaged in charity.

Even Eka Anta, the general manager, can produce things like image maps and military transport planes for the return of funds through his research on the starry sky and aerospace. Why do other people have privileges?

The internal capital flow of Rhine Life has never been fixed, but the resources are tilted according to the scientific research results and importance. This is also carried out at the request of Ekaanta, in order to prevent some authoritative people from being complacent and arrogant. Funding and ideas from some young people.

It can be said that except for the directors of various departments who can use some funds to do various researches, everyone else needs to compete for resources. Of course, if the experimental research fails, there are corresponding policies within Rhine, and they will not be hacked to death, but this is also the case. There is a time limit.

Of course, Eka Anta is the exception. After all, as the minister of the No Matter Department (actually a miscellaneous department that manages everything), and the real helm of Rhine Life, she mobilizes funds to do some unrewarding projects. Who dares to talk too much?

Moreover, at least 5.00% of the internal liquidity of Rhine Life is brought by Ekaanta's research patents. Don't underestimate this 5.00%. You need to know how many researchers, geniuses and research patents there are in Rhine Life.

A huge company needs huge working capital, and Eka Anta's scientific research patent alone provides 5.00% of the funds, which needless to say the gold content.

Therefore, after consultations between Christen and the ministers, Ekaanta is going to enter the Loken Water Tank Experimental Base as a researcher to investigate, because this status is the most direct and convenient, and there is a high probability that he can contact to some deep research secrets.

After all, you have to show the results to the investigators. Otherwise, if the investigators feel that your research is worthless, and after the final audit, it is found that it is not of great use, then you will be finished as soon as the funds are cut off. Do you have no money to use your head for research?

So this identity is very convenient, Ekaanta accepted it with satisfaction, and Sereya's identity is also easy to arrange, she is the assistant of the investigator, her name is Sere Anya, and she is good at fencing, fighting, and boxing.

Well, it's very Serea.

"This is normal. Colombia was still a Victorian colony a few decades ago, and there are a lot of Victorian style and architectural remnants." After hearing Ekaanta's words, Sereya explained as a matter of course.

Ekaanta glanced at her, but said nothing else, after all, Serena knew everything.

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?" Feeling the disdainful gaze from Ekaanta, Saria asked back somewhat puzzled.

"No, you're quite right."

Shaking her head, Ekaanta started to look at the map directly. For this kind of diamond straight girl, she is too lazy to complain, because even if you complain about Serena, she can still chat with you in a serious manner.

100% atmosphere breaker, identified as pure diamond Serena.

Realizing that something was wrong with Ekaanta, Seliya frowned. She was indeed straight, but she understood that she needed to do something to make up for Ekaanta who seemed to be a disappointment because of herself.

He glanced at the side streets, saw a few bright roses, glanced at his wallet, pulled out a hundred units of Colombian currency from it, and walked there.

Eka Anta naturally noticed this, and was stunned.
