NIKKE, when the stars bloom

In the command room, Shu En, who was sitting in a reclining chair with his legs crossed, curled his lips, played with his hair on his temples out of boredom, and said:

"You really should let him broaden his horizons. Stop always staring at the one or two Nikkis under your command as if they were treasures. How can you not be willing to waste a few pieces of scrap metal? How can you do big things in the future?"

"Oh~ Such a safe boy~ is simply the best choice for the Ark girls who are in love~"

In response to Shuen's evaluation, Mastin flicked his index finger and made a retort that seemed tactful but was actually sarcastic.

"I wonder if Ms. Shuen has ever imagined having such a Warrior who is worthy of entrusting her life to~"

Unfortunately, the little girl's emotional intelligence was not enough for her to understand the hidden meaning in Mastin's words, but fortunately, at least she could understand the surface meaning.

So, the bad-tempered girl sneered and said sarcastically:

"Don't be ridiculous. Can you trust a man like my Laplace?

Oh, sorry, I forgot you don't have a Nikki as powerful as Laplace, so it's understandable that you can't understand my feelings."

The three adults, including Mastin, were not angry at Shuen's words. Instead, they tacitly chose to ignore the kid's sarcasm and focused all their attention on the broadcast screen.

……

……

line of sight,

Go back to the collapsed subway track.

"Everyone throw smoke bombs, and then prepare for action according to the plan!"

"Understood, Commander!"

Heading west to meet Tswai, Phoenix, who had already thought about the tactical plan on the way, quickly arranged a general battle plan for everyone.

Immediately afterwards, walls of white smoke successfully blocked the view of several important roads, providing Tswai, who was climbing up the rope, with plenty of time for safe movement.

Because of the obstructed vision, Letcher's guns began to fire indiscriminately, but unfortunately there was no target they wanted to kill behind the smoke.

After all, there has never been a regulation requiring that people must hide behind smoke bombs.

"Everyone, get ready."

Crawling on the ground, Phoenix looked at Tswai in the consciousness map, watching her holding the rope tightly with both hands and climbing up the edge of the tunnel step by step, then he shouted softly:

"action!"

boom--! ! !

Just as he finished speaking, several gunshots came from the north of the Letcher group, instantly killing two Letchers that were completely exposed to the sun into pieces.

"Zwai, out."

"Roger that!"

Amid the intensive gunfire, Tswai, who was fully prepared, grabbed a piece of steel wreckage on the road with one hand and climbed out from under the tunnel.

"Instructor!"

"come over."

Phoenix immediately stood up and waved to Tswai who was not far away, saying:

"Tia."

"Okay, instructor!"

Tia, who had been hiding in a building and had not fired a single shot, raised her bazooka at someone's call and fired a random shot in the general direction of the Letcher group.

boom--! ! !

The deafening explosion unsurprisingly attracted the attention of most of the Letchers, providing what could be described as perfect fire cover for the fleeing Tswai.

"Follow me."

Seeing the black-haired girl running to him with lingering fear, Phoenix gave the order on the spot without thinking.

"Everyone follow the map to the underground mall. If you are lost, ask Shefti for directions first."

"Eh?!"

The wage thief, who was already drinking coffee and playing with fish at his workstation, straightened his back in surprise when he heard Phoenix's words.

"Yes! I can also provide everyone with a reasonable route."

After witnessing someone's "intuition" that was comparable to that of GPS navigation, the girl thought she had nothing to do with this mission.

Unexpectedly, she would have a chance to demonstrate her tactical value.

Although the intelligence department does not have much information to offer, its navigation technology is absolutely excellent.

"Central Government Intelligence Department, Operator Shefti, is now starting to plan routes for everyone."

……

……

"Ha, it doesn't seem that difficult. We rescued him right away."

Watching the whole process from a God's perspective, Shuen was not aware of the risks or the clever use of tactics. He really had a mysterious self-confidence that "I can do it too".

"If you ask me, there seems to be no need to continue the exhibition match. This guy is more than 600 points ahead of the second place. There is no suspense about keeping the first place."

"So you want to end this farce early?"

Ingrid glanced at the little devil, her expression revealing her suspicion without any hesitation.

"It was you who started the game early, and it was you who invited us to watch the game. Why are you the one who doesn't want to continue the game now?"

"what???"

As if someone stepped on her tail, Shu En immediately realized that her words might have sounded a little hasty, and she quickly turned on her unique mode of asking for a slap.

"You're still happy to watch this one-sided match? Why? Don't tell me there's an old lady here who's attracted to the young and strong commander.

I say, you don't have good taste, he's just average looking, do you want me to go to Tetra and pick two for you?"

"Slander!"

Hearing Shuen's careless mouth talking nonsense, Ma Shiding, who was innocently affected by the range of damage, couldn't stand it. He immediately raised his little finger and accused in an exaggerated tone:

"We at Tetra don't provide this kind of service! This is absolutely Slander!!!"

"Well, I didn't say that you, Tetra, provide services, but you, Tetra, don't have a rule that you can't resign after being kept by the CEO of Pure Land, right?"

"Kid, do you think I don't dare to teach you a lesson?" The single female boss who just turned 30 this year exuded resentment and murderous intent, and looked coldly at the widow of Missilis who deserved a beating.

It’s a pity that Shuen has never disappointed anyone in his ability to be stubborn.

I heard her shrug disdainfully and respond: "What good is there for me, an old woman who will have wrinkles in a few years..."

Didi——!

Just as the indoor atmosphere was about to enter the woman's home court, Anderson's internal mobile phone rang with a perfect ringtone.

Feeling rescued, the deputy commander quickly picked up his cell phone and answered the call. He gestured to everyone to be quiet, and then had a classic conversation between superiors and subordinates with the person on the phone.

"..."

"Yes."

"..."

"it is good."

"..."

"understood."

"..."

"no problem."

A few minutes later, Deputy Commander Anderson hung up the phone, exhaled heavily, closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, and without waiting for Ingrid and others to ask, he took the initiative to speak:

"That kid's performance today was too impressive. The intelligence department has already submitted a Level 1 emergency transfer order to the commander-in-chief and the parliament."

Ingrid: “…”

Ma Shiding: "..."

Shuen: “Oh, and then?”

"They requested that Phoenix be formally transferred to the intelligence department and that a ground intelligence force be established with him as the core, citing the reason that the command was incompetent and wasting talent."

Anderson said this, with strong dissatisfaction in his falcon-like eyes.

"It's not just the intelligence department that wants to get involved. Many people, including Kang Si, Ke Wei, and Gao Ke Shu, have applied to the central government for special security requests, and specifically asked Lieutenant Phoenix to serve as their security consultant for a long time."

"Oh~ Such an incomparable charm!"

After listening to the deputy commander's story, Mastin screamed excitedly again and expressed the thoughts of the boards of directors of the major consortiums in the Ark.

“No one can refuse a Trustworthy Man.”

"No~body~"

Chapter 90: No Talk with the Ark Bugs

Shuen didn't expect that just an exhibition match at MMR High School would turn Phoenix's status from a mere Ark lunatic into someone everyone was fighting for...

Ark Madman.

This……

This shouldn't affect her murder plan, right?

Realizing that the situation was somewhat out of his control, Shuen's gaze returned to the broadcast screen.

On the scoreboard, Phoenix's total score had reached a staggering 820 points, already breaking the single kill record of 320 points in the exhibition match.

However, these are not the most important things.

The row of data in bold on the points panel is the ultimate reason that truly impressed all the superiors.

[Phoenix personal contribution points: 9X10, 1X25]

This data exceeds the average combat loss ratio of the mass-produced Nikki in a single mission.

No wonder those guys are jealous.

After all, if you want a non-mass-produced Nikki to protect your safety for a long time, currently only the three major companies and key personnel in various departments can have this treatment.

For example, the Ark's deputy commander, although he holds the title of deputy commander, actually has only more than twenty mass-produced Nikkis at his disposal.

However, looking at the man in the live video, his outrageous combat data has gradually approached that of the non-mass-produced Nikki.

Such combat power is simply the dream dart in the eyes of the Ark bigwigs.

……

……

"Everyone report the damage, ammunition and supplies."

In the dark underground supermarket, a commander named Fei, who was unaware that he had embarked on a path of seducing both men and women, was sitting at the self-service checkout counter of the supermarket, taking a break while counting the post-war results.

Then, after Nikki and the others reported their situations one by one, someone's strategic plan immediately changed from "sneak attack from behind" to "going to the elevator shaft for supplies."

Except for Marian, who had rich combat experience and still had a large amount of ammunition left, the others had used up an average of 70 to 80 percent of their ammunition. Diesel, who was at the machine gun position and came to the ground for the first time, completely emptied his magazine.

"Well, Marian, give Diesel fifty rounds of ammunition, and then we'll go back for supplies."

"Eh?"

Hearing the commander's sudden unprofessional order, Marian, who was holding a submachine gun, was a little confused for a moment.

Then, the clever girl blinked her eyes and immediately understood the problem.

Commander... is it possible that you still don't know that she is using a submachine gun?

Thinking of this, Marianne's pretty face immediately became filled with resentment and displeasure, and her beautiful eyebrows even raised up a little.

"Commander! Silver Spear Troops, scout, Marian reports to you!"

Phoenix: “……?”
