I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Yun Yi pursed his lips, feeling increasingly listless the more he thought about it.

Swire noticed the boredom in her eyes and swung the tiger tail behind her in front of Yun Yi. "Alright, good boy, this is also a good opportunity to show our strength, let our organization make its debut, and create misunderstandings among the outside world."

The supple tail swayed before Yun Yi's eyes, its downy tips catching the chill of the air as it brushed against Yun Yi's chin and nose, then touched her brow, leaving a lingering tingling sensation before slowly withdrawing and returning to Swire's back in a smooth arc.

Yun Yi's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to the soft, large tail, so much so that he almost didn't hear what Shi Huaiya said, "This is our organization's first appearance. Why don't you think about a name for our organization first? For example, 'Breaking Through the Barriers,' which shares the same name as the terminal, or we could create a family business like the 'Yun Group'—"

Upon hearing "Yun Group," Yun Yi shuddered and instantly snapped back to reality, averting his gaze to Shi Huaiya's smiling green eyes. "No way, that name is just too awkward!"

Moreover, the naming style has a very old-fashioned feel, like it's from ten or twenty years ago, which is not suitable for their young team, which is currently full of people in their prime.

To avoid teasing glances, Swire, who has a hint of a knack for having fun, suggested more bizarre names that would make her lose her composure. Yun Yi, however, was determined to make a final decision, saying, "'Broken Peak' is fine. How about we call ourselves 'Broken Peak' from now on?"

"'Breaking Through the Barriers'? A sword pointing towards the layered mountains, piercing through the misty peaks; a heart following the rising sun, breaking through the fog—a fine name." Chen, who had strolled over to the two of them, calmly took over the conversation, announcing his arrival.

She lowered her eyes to meet Yun Yi's gaze. Her eyes were like a still lake after the rain, slightly darker than usual and without any ripples. Her words, however, revealed her composure: "If you want, I have no objection."

Under what circumstances is Chen's opinion needed? Chen only has the right to offer opinions after joining them and becoming a core member, which means that Chen has already decided to sign a contract with her and become one of their own.

As expected, but that didn't stop Yun Yi from beaming with delight and a joyful smile. "Chen, you've agreed to sign a contract with me?"

As for that little bit of resentment? Sigh, what's a little delay compared to the importance of the contractor?

Those who sign the contract cannot betray her, will protect her, and will accompany her with the help of the mall.

For Yun Yi, each additional contractor meant greater security, and also meant gaining a partner or future spouse who was even closer than ordinary friends and family.

From the moment Yunyi was kissed by Swire, she believed from the bottom of her heart that the Contractor was no longer just a Contractor, but her emotional anchor in Terra.

Having stumbled into that unknown space and seen the towering pillar that represented the contractor and supported a part of her soul's sky, this idea became even more deeply ingrained in her heart.

—The contractor is the most important person besides oneself.

Yun Yi's golden-red eyes, as bright as the sun, gazed expectantly at Chen. The two colors of her iris shimmered with a gradually changing halo under the light, sometimes like destructive, raging magma, sometimes like gentle, savior-like liquid gold. The only constant was her unwavering, burning passion.

It was as if the person before her was the one she absolutely did not want to miss, the one her heart longed for...

Chen's pupils contracted slightly as if she had been burned. Underneath her slightly disheveled white shirt, patches of light pink tinged the back of her neck, while the dragon tail behind her stood taut and straight.

Chen's strong self-control prevented her from further ejecting and escaping. She took a deep breath to suppress the physical reaction caused by Yun Yi's influence.

Immediately, Chen looked back at Yun Yi, whose eyes were shining, with a serious and earnest expression. He stood up straight, his tone firm, and his words concise and to the point: "Yes, Miss Yun Yi, let's not delay, let's sign the contract."

"!" So direct? A hint of shock appeared in Yun Yi's eyes. She thought Chen would confirm some information with her, but it turned out that they were going to sign a contract without saying anything?

Volume 2: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 178 Shi Huaiya/Chen Huijie: Tch, who's on good terms with this guy!

Soon, Yun Yi's shock was overwhelmed by more joy, and she raised her hand without hesitation.

A contract and a pen suddenly appeared out of thin air in Chen's eyes, and a dense array of information suddenly flooded his mind.

System, online store, main body Yunyi, soul anchor point...

Chen skillfully categorized the sudden influx of information and extracted the core information.

With her brain working efficiently, Chen's complete grasp of common sense through information technology quickly transformed the seriousness in her red eyes into realization and shock.

Chen did not get caught up in these distractions. Almost the instant she finished sorting out the information, she composed herself and looked directly at Yun Yi.

“I agree to the contract, Yunyi. Remember my name,” Chen picked up the pen and sharply poked the pen tip into the signature column of the contract, imprinting his name on the paper without even looking at it.

At the same time, she looked into Yun Yi's eyes, which were shimmering with light, and said in a deep voice, "I am Chen Huijie."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen wrote the last stroke of her name. Before Yun Yi could react to her sudden self-introduction, the contract in front of Chen turned into chains and pierced their foreheads. As always, Chen tried to dodge but failed.

The standard contract process was over quickly, and as the chains dissipated into the air, the two inevitably exchanged a glance.

Chen Huijie flicked the dragon's tail and took the initiative to move.

The two dragon horns on the side of her head flashed through the air. Chen glanced at Shi Huaiya, whose knees were crossed and whose gaze was slightly unfocused. "The contract is complete. We will continue to name the company."

Upon hearing this, Swire's somewhat unfocused green eyes brightened, and her tiger tail, which had been swaying naturally behind her, stiffened for a moment before swaying again. "Company, this was indeed the previous plan, but the current situation probably doesn't allow us to hold a meeting with companies that are subject to local policies."

“At the very least, the main body of our organization cannot be a company.” Swire briefly pointed out Chen Huijie’s mistake, then turned to look at the stunned Yun Yi, “What the main body is specifically does not affect the result; we can just follow Yun Yi’s idea.”

When Yun Yi heard Shi Huaiya call her, she snapped out of her daze, but not completely. "Whatever it is... it's fine, it's fine."

He gave her a look that said he didn't want to disturb her thinking.

Shi Huaiya ran her fingertips over the soft flesh of her lips, sighing helplessly in her heart. Yun Yi really had no interest in these things, only thinking about doing what he wanted to do.

To say that the inner guards act recklessly? Yun Yi is the one who truly acts recklessly, but she has high standards, so she doesn't seem so domineering.

Unable to rely on Yun Yi, the core figure, to set the tone, Swire had no choice but to take over the responsibility, bracing herself for analysis: "We'll have to do it ourselves—"

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered that the organization's name hadn't been finalized yet. She immediately looked at Hoshiguma, who was standing behind Chen without saying a word, and asked, "By the way, Hoshiguma, do you agree with the organization's name being 'Broken Peak'?"

“Haha, you all agree, how could I disagree?” Hoshiguma stepped forward and readily replied, “Well, it’s a good name in itself, isn’t it? Let’s go with ‘Broken Peak’.”

Chen Huijie withdrew her probing gaze from Yun Yi and looked at her two excellent colleagues and friends. "You two are too lax. With the enemy so close, can't you even abandon that sense of ritual and finish naming yourselves quickly?"

Chen Huijie said the second half of the sentence while looking at Swire.

Swire's forehead bulged, and she slapped the chair with her tiger tail. "Pfft—Chen Huijie, is your dragon head eaten by worms, or are your dragon ears really deaf?"

"Once we confirm that 'Broken Peak' is our name, we can proceed with Yunyi's plan to find a lone inner guard for the experiment." Chen Huijie ignored Swire's angry question and turned to Hoshiguma to say this.

"Old Chen, stop it." Hoshiguma glanced helplessly at the composed Chen Huijie, then turned to Swire and smiled. "Calm down, Old Chen doesn't think before she speaks, let's not stoop to her level."

Swire clenched her fist, wishing she could shove her powerful fist—enough to make a dent in the ground—into Chen Huijie's eye socket. "Ha, you think you're so quick-witted? I think you're just lusting after her!"

Why have I never seen her so reckless before? As the saying goes, dragons are inherently lustful, and isn't Old Chen just a damn dragon?

Swire looked at Chen Huijie with a cold smile on her lips. Of course, she knew this was the most unlikely conjecture, but that didn't stop her from confronting this crazy dragon.

Chen Huijie's red eyes flickered as she was stared at and speculated about by Swire. She strode to the side and said, "It seems that between the two of us, it's you who needs your brain fixed."

After moving a little away from Swire, she looked up at the ruins of the Guard Bureau projected on the screen. "No support, no sign of anyone. That guy really got involved."

"Nonsense, the fact that the Inner Guards could attack the Imperial Guard Bureau proves that Wei Yanwu was indifferent. Why do we need to judge whether he was involved based on the aftermath of the incident?" Swire retorted bluntly.

She crossed her arms and glanced at several spots on the projection stained with inky black liquid. "The inner guards should still be nearby. I saw five marks that match the rumors—this direction is... the back door."

"Do you think the target escaped through the back door before they arrived?" Hoshiguma leaned back in her chair and looked up at the direction where the Royal Guard Bureau used to be the back door, which was now also reduced to rubble.

Even though the Nirvana was some distance away on the side, Hoshiguma's excellent eyesight allowed her to see the large black stains in that area. "I see it. The marks are obvious. That guard either stayed at the back door for a long time or hasn't left yet."

After all, she was a super soldier who combined the top technology and qualities of the great nation of Ursus. Hoshiguma believed that if the inner guard wanted to hide himself, she should have difficulty detecting him.

“There are only remaining traces; he has already left,” Chen Huijie gave an affirmative answer.

She then lowered her gaze and explained to Hoshiguma, "The black marks you see were left by the Inner Guards when they used special powers. When the Inner Guards are nearby, these marks become more active and have a noticeable flow."

"Chen Huijie, don't you know how to speak properly!" Swire snorted and added, "Hoshiguma, if you notice these liquids starting to flow, don't keep looking, they're dangerous."

Hoshiguma nodded knowingly. Her eyes remained fixed on the projection, and she quickly examined all the visible black traces in the ruins, but found nothing.

She raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? It seems the spirits don't want me to be harmed; the Inner Guard should have already left the Guard Bureau."

Chen Huijie and Swire quickly came to the same conclusion. They simultaneously raised their hands to their lips and looked at the projection with thoughtful expressions.

Hoshiguma looked down at the two of them, who seemed to be on good terms, and tapped Hannya with satisfaction. Sure enough, Old Chen and Miss had a pretty good relationship.

The air grew quiet as no one spoke.

Yun Yi quickly noticed and shifted his attention away from the system upgrade option that suddenly popped up in front of him, glancing at the three silent people.

Chen Huijie and Shi Huaiya seemed to be competing with each other, and when Yun Yi's gaze swept over them, the amplitude of their tails swayed noticeably changed for a moment.

But they remained focused on observing the projection, showing no reaction, their eyes fixed intently on every detail of the ruins, trying to find clues about the whereabouts of the inner guards before the other side could.

PS:

I only found out I was featured yesterday -_-||

Although it's a good thing, it's almost over. (Author: Caiyue/Yini Ersan Lingshi Jiuchanshi discovered ⊙▽⊙)

No wonder my collection seemed to increase a bit faster last week, now I understand :D

In conclusion, thank you all for your support!

Thank you to the editor for approving my recommendation!

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 179 Shi Huaiya: Heart Weary

When Hoshiguma looked at Yun Yi, she shrugged and mouthed, "The two of them are looking for traces of the inner guards."

"..." Why not just find her to find the enemy? Yun Yi scratched his head in confusion and whispered, "Star Track Imprint."

A deep blue 3D map appeared, and Yunyi and Xingxiong both focused their attention on it.

On the map, the large red dots representing enemies are conspicuously red, eight are flashing in all directions next to the ruins of the Guard Bureau, seemingly lying in wait, and another five are gathered on the tallest building on the next street.

Apart from that, there are no red dots.

Yun Yi rested his chin on his hand and thought to himself, "It's just the inner guards again. Could it be that Ursus only sent their inner guards? They must have a lot of confidence in their inner guards."

While she was muttering to herself, Chen Huijie and Shi Huaiya failed to find any trace of the inner guards. They lowered their gazes, glared at each other, and then turned to look at Yun Yi and Yun Yi's map.

“Very good, eight lone ones. We can try them out slowly.” Swire glanced at the map and came to this conclusion. She pinched her collar, glanced at Chen Huijie, and turned to Yun Yi. “Shall we begin?”

Chen Huijie stared at the map, her eyes flashing with curiosity and admiration. After listening to Shi Huaiya's words, she snorted and raised her dragon tail slightly. "The inner guards are very likely to be able to communicate with each other. The eight inner guards are standing far apart and cannot detect each other immediately, but the five next door who are standing on higher ground can definitely detect each other and notify the others."

Chen Huijie raised her head slightly and conveyed her thoughts to Shi Huaiya with her eyes: "Is this considered being alone?"

"Ha, do I need to teach you how far apart discovering a problem is from actually finding it?" Swire crossed her arms and turned her head away from Chen Huijie, avoiding the verbal traps set by these eight people who were not exactly alone.

She spoke to Yun Yi thoughtfully, "Yun Yi, let's begin when you're ready. Follow your previous plan; any of these eight people near the Guard Bureau will do."

“…Okay.” Yun Yi glanced at the system pop-up in front of him, opened his mouth to agree, carefully moved the sleeping 001 from his lap to the bench, then stood up and looked straight ahead.

Almost as soon as she stood up, the white mist directly in front of the disc where the four people and two barbarian chicks were located instantly disappeared into the distance, leaving behind a truly blank space.

The huge projection that was originally standing above Yun Yi's head moved to the front of Yun Yi, and was even shrunk a bit to fit Yun Yi's perspective.

"Very high level of control..." Chen Huijie took a few steps back to avoid the suddenly lowered projection, her gaze falling on the blank space where the white light had been peeled away as Yun Yi's footsteps had gathered.

Swire stood up after Yun Yi got up, leaving the Manjuu who were sleeping soundly on the bench with cartoon bubbles still in place. She walked towards Hoshiguma, who had stepped back slightly and whose golden eyes were slightly shining.

Yun Yi temporarily ignored the movements of the three people, silently disconnected the autopilot AI, and took over the driving seat of the Nirvana.

Outside, the mech trembled almost imperceptibly for a moment before flying more nimbly and purposefully towards the east of the Guard Bureau ruins.

The inside defender in this direction is the furthest from the five people on the next street.

As the Nirvana moved forward, Yun Yi diverted some of his attention to the blank space in front of him.

A few streaks of azure data flashed in her eyes, and then a transparent material resembling glass, with straight lines and angles, appeared out of thin air and instantly combined into a regular icosahedron in the blank space.

Yun Yi gently manipulated the approximately three-person-high icosahedron with his mind, causing it to rotate diagonally clockwise.

As the polyhedron rotates, strands of golden light quietly cover each of its vertices, and a four-finger-wide crimson band climbs to the very center of each of its faces.

When it came to a stop, it looked quite magnificent.

A dazzling gold emanated from every vertex of the icosahedron, meandering outwards, while crimson highlights dotted the unknown golden liquid like stars.

On its twenty faces, red bands form an "X" that occupies one-third of the area. The logo looks simple, but it is further embellished with eye-catching gold thread to make it look complicated.

This isn't Yunyi doing anything to "make it look good".

She had just connected to the Nirvana's creation mode and tried to input rules such as "cannot act" and "cannot use any abilities" into that blank space, and to her surprise, it actually worked.

Or rather, the Nirvana, this mech from outer space, comes with a lot of related technology, and as long as its owner, Yun Yi, has the idea, he can use it unconditionally inside the Nirvana.

The golden liquid and crimson belt are manifestations of technologies that prohibit movement and possess special abilities.

However, they were originally black and white, but Yun Yi subconsciously changed them to a brighter, reddish-gold color that matched her eyes.

The icosahedron with the restriction set on it was completely formed - / Ying (seven) VI doubt sanII 鸸久侕 The moment Yun Yi closed his eyes, when he opened them again, the data stream that was flashing rapidly in his eyes became much lighter.

She raised her hand and rubbed her slightly throbbing temples. "Cosmic-level technology requires a lot of computing power."

She had previously built large prisons, apartments, and model houses that were hundreds of meters or even hundreds of kilometers long without any discomfort and completed them with ease. But this icosahedron, which was only a few people tall, gave her a bit of a headache.

"Yunyi? Don't push yourself." Swire immediately noticed Yunyi's discomfort.

She ran to Yun Yi's side, raised her finger to touch the slightly bulging veins next to her temples, and gently soothed most of her discomfort with a technique far more professional than Yun Yi's haphazard rubbing.

Yun Yi squinted comfortably. "Hmm, don't worry, it's not forced. It's just that I don't understand the principle and forcibly activated the built-in program," she made a pinching gesture, "so it's just a little uncomfortable."

“Next time, please have 002 do it. They’re much better than you at this.” Swire said, applying more pressure with her hand. Her tiger ears on her head bent back for a moment, looking displeased under Yun Yi’s gaze. “Do I have to explain to you in detail the most basic way of hiring people?”

"You're forcing yourself to endure hardship!" Swire's green eyes accuse.
