NIKKE, when the stars bloom

The man took off his pajamas again and sat in front of Viper with a stiff expression. Amid the sweet girl's unbridled laughter, he numbly discussed his plan for last night with her.

Although it is called a discussion, in fact the whole process is more like Viper, as the second party, constantly providing solutions, while Phoenix, as the first party, is responsible for considering the feasibility of each solution.

As for Mihala, Yuni, and Volum...

They were just like the untalented Muggles in the magical world. They looked at the talking Viper, then at the nodding commander, their minds completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of their conversation.

"I need you to do me another favor."

After spending two or three hours finalizing the plan, Phoenix changed the subject and said:

"Technically, I want you to do me two more favors."

Hearing the man's words, Viper, who was still in high spirits, tilted his head with interest and said with a smile, "So, are these two other deals, Mr. Commander?"

"can."

Phoenix gave the commitment without hesitation.

"First of all, the five mass-produced Nikkis I rescued at the factory that night are still hiding in the suburbs of the Ark. I need someone absolutely reliable to help look after them."

“The second favor is that since you can freely enter and exit the Outer Rim and the Ark, you must have a connection.

I want you to go to the Outer Rim and find a girl named Rocograce. She should be in a gang. Help her get a fake citizen ID chip, and then bring her to the Ark to find me. Remember to wear a mask."

"But what if she doesn't trust me by then?"

"Then tell her this."

The commander paused, then spoke in a clear and melodious voice:

"I send my sorrow to the bright moon."

"?"

Having never heard such a wording before, Viper raised his delicate eyebrows and asked, "What should she reply?"

"I will follow you to the west of Yelang."

Chapter 54: Life is not a noun (I)

Boom boom boom!

In the suburbs of Ark, according to the address and characteristics given by Phoenix, Viper knocked on the iron door of a long-abandoned distribution room.

Because of the commander's contact information, the mass-produced Nikki, who had already received the news early, was not disturbed by Viper's behavior.

It is hard to imagine that this non-mass-produced Nikki, who was at odds with the commander a few days ago, has now become the housekeeper responsible for taking care of them according to the commander's description.

"Welcome to our..."

"……Home."

Nikki, the longest serving mass-produced model named "Long Leaf" by Phoenix, stood at the door of the distribution room and nodded politely to the Viper.

"My name is Changye."

After Changye, the leader, finished introducing herself, Duochan, Daxue, Chun and Qiumo, who were standing behind her, also took the initiative to introduce their names to Dushe.

name,

For the mass-produced Nikki that only has a number, it is a precious item.

Under the control of the Ark, they have no right to have names. Strictly speaking, even the commander does not have the right to name the mass-produced Nikki.

Of course, the exception is Commander Phoenix, who is born rebellious.

Looking at the five mass-produced Nikkis who were clearly more excited, Viper's face lost its usual hypocritical smile, and he asked in a slightly surprised tone:

"He gave you a name?"

"Ok!"

Hearing Viper's question, Chun, the youngest serving officer, nodded vigorously. Then, she explained very patiently, or rather, without getting tired of it:

"These are actually the names of orchids. Commander Phoenix told us that orchids were used to describe gentlemen. Although... although I don't know what "gentleman" means, it sounds like a very beautiful word."

"Yeah, they are indeed nice names."

"You think so too! We all like the names of these flowers! The commander even said there are hundreds of varieties of orchids..."

Amid Chun's endless explanation, Viper unconsciously lowered his eyes, his thoughts becoming a little vague.

Speaking of which...

My name is not even as nice as the name that man gave to the non-mass-produced Nikki.

It's really a ridiculous thing.

……

……

The bottom floor of the MMR laboratory.

Anderson stood solemnly beside a life-sustaining coffin, looking down at the young woman who had been sleeping in the coffin for who knows how many years, but his mind was occupied by the figure of another man.

"Um……"

Whenever he thought of Yuni's feedback, the deputy commander's brows, which had been furrowed for years, would become more wrinkled.

On the bright side, if the information Yuni provided was true, given that kid's violent personality, which allowed him to cripple four people in just half a month, this would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury.

Once he is allowed to accumulate military merits on the ground, it will definitely disrupt the balance of power in the core of the Ark.

On the worst possible note, if the information Yuni provided was false...

"Well... we have to find time to hold a meeting, just in case. We can't let that kid get along with his regular Nikki for a long time." Anderson touched his cufflinks to calm his slightly frightened mood.

impossible,

Bribing Nikki is something that is absolutely impossible and must not happen.

After thinking about it, Anderson shifted his gaze to the monitoring data beside the life-support coffin. Then, he seemed to have had a mental struggle before he put his index finger on the screen.

[Scanning fingerprint features...]

【Scan successful】

[Scanning vein features...]

【Check data consistency】

[Scanning brain wave characteristics...]

【Check data consistency】

【Welcome, Deputy Commander Anderson. 】

"Check the progress of all projects being carried out in Life Support Coffin No. 1." The deputy commander's magnetic voice echoed in the laboratory.

[The project progress is being sorted out, please wait...]

[Successfully retrieved the engineering project implemented on the No. 1 life-support coffin, the specific data is as follows:]

[Progress of memory shielding project for organism No. 98.24: %]

[Progress of memory injection into organism No. 24.62: %]

[Progress of personality modification project on organism number one: 9.31%]

"All projects are shut down in safe mode." Anderson slowly closed his eyes, and after a long silence, he said a sentence that represented countless possible decisions.

"Inject a single memory into the No. 1 organism."

"The injected content is the name."

"The name of the first life support is 'Wal Qiulei'."

……

……

Inside a high-end fashion store on the Royal Mile shopping street.

Looking at the khaki double-breasted windbreaker on the hanger...the label, Phoenix's eyes were as if he had met Letcher's group, exuding a strong sense of solemnity.

A piece of clothing costs 32,000?

Although it did not exceed the limit of his wallet, with his savings, he would go bankrupt if he bought two or three more pieces of clothing.

"Commander~ How do you feel if I wear this?"

Just as a man who had offered to go shopping was still feeling the shock of the prices on the Royal Avenue, Mihala's voice came from the dressing room.

In a hurry, Phoenix quickly put away his heavy mood, showed a sunny smile and turned around.

Then, what came into view was Mihaela's heroic image wearing a windbreaker.

Just the right amount of light gold earrings, a dark brown cashmere undershirt that exposes the belly button, a wide black leather belt around the waist, and straight-leg trousers made of unknown fabric without a single wrinkle.

At this moment, Mihala, who has changed her original appearance, is so charming that just a glance from her is enough to make young boys who long for mature opposite sex fall in love with her.

Thirty-two thousand...

value.

"Very good, buy it."

Phoenix didn't ask if she liked it. He knew that when a woman puts on new clothes in the fitting room and is willing to come out to meet people,

She just likes it.

If you still want to refuse, then there is only one reason - there is a contradiction between the degree of your liking, your own financial resources and the price of the clothes.

That's it.

"Wow--!!!"

Just as Phoenix was trying to show off and handed his card to the waiter.

Outside the store, a slightly exaggerated exclamation suddenly sounded.

Because the exclamation came too suddenly, everyone, including the waiter, looked in the direction of the sound.

"Everyone, please be patient. Lu Fei saw a beautiful lady in Casey's flagship store. Let Lu Fei go and ask her if she is willing to appear in the photo!"

A young girl who seemed to exude youthfulness came running to Mihaela, covering the camera of her mobile phone with both hands. There seemed to be a dazzling light flashing in her indigo pupils.

"Sister! I'm Lu Fei, Lu Fei from the Shopping Addict Channel!"

The blonde girl slurped her saliva and took Mihala's right hand in a familiar manner.

"Sister, your fashion sense is amazing! Hehe~ Would you like to go shopping with Lu Fei on a live broadcast? Lu Fei can pay for all of Sister's expenses!"

"..."

Under Lufei's active attack, Mihara was caught off guard and stared into the girl's eyes in a daze.

After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and suddenly raised the corner of her mouth, turned her eyes to the commander who was still in a daze, and replied gently:

"Sorry, I have a date tonight."

Chapter 55: Life is not a noun (Part 2)

"I have...an appointment!"

Although she was rejected, Lufei did not feel disappointed. Instead, her eyes became brighter because of Mihara's words "I have an appointment".

She let out an exaggerated "ow" and the flame of gossip began to burn her soul, causing her to look around, and finally her eyes were fixed on Phoenix who took out his credit card.

"!"

An ordinary T-shirt, ordinary sweatpants, and ordinary sneakers.

Lu Fei, who often hangs out in the luxury shopping streets, can tell at a glance that the total value of the clothes someone is wearing may not exceed 800 credit points.

However, it was such a person who was willing to buy luxury goods worth tens of thousands of dollars for that sister.
