Hello, Arknights

Chapter 244 Life

When I opened my eyes, I smelled alcohol on the pillow.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't drink too much last night, nor did he bring a drunk person back to his dormitory.

Last night, out of curiosity, he participated in the enthusiastic arm wrestling competition held by the elite operators after Huang's arrival. The loser had to drink a penalty drink. Of course, he did not drink too much. He chose to cut his losses in time. His alcohol tolerance did not allow him to lose too much.

“Come to think of it, Film’s arm strength is quite strong…” Last night, the operator with the closest arm strength to him was Huang. Even though the opponent was an elite operator and arm strength could not represent all strength, Ling Dengxian still felt a little regretful for losing to him after the stalemate. After all, he was quite confident in his own strength.

After I cleared my mind a little, I remembered that this girl played with a chainsaw. After thinking about it again, I was relieved about her fighting style.

By the way, the champion among the operators who participated in the competition last night was a Sarkaz Goliath worker who usually works in the boiler room of Rhodes Island.

Although Ling Dengxian had a low alcohol tolerance, it was impossible for him to get drunk after two or three cups, so the source of the alcohol smell was actually the "drunkard" on the pillow - this sky blue little dragon with its own ideas took advantage of the stalemate between him and Huang to slip into the ice bucket to drink.

When it was over, he was about to send the drunken Miss Doctor back to her room and found this guy. He didn't know how long he had been soaking in the wine barrel...

"I heard that there is medicinal wine for soaking snakes in my hometown... Are you planning to drink the wine you made?" Ling Dengxian looked at Xiao Jiao sleeping soundly and wanted to pick him up and throw him off the bed. After all, the smell of alcohol was so strong that the sheets had to be washed.

In the end, he didn't put it into practice. After all, Tianlan Xiaojiao was not as heartless as Chi Yu, so he was still very considerate.

Ling Dengxian stood up carefully, was dazed for a moment, and then prepared to get up.

"Come to think of it, I haven't called you that often, and you probably don't have a name either. But it seems like no matter how I call you, you'll always agree..." Ling Dengxian thought of this and looked at the little guy seriously again.

"You're a very outgoing little guy. I still remember it was you who pulled me up in the water that time. Thank you..." Ling Dengxian became playful and poked the little dragon's belly.

Wow, it's warmer than I thought.

"It's quite comfortable... She will respond no matter what I call her..." Ling Dengxian's long-suppressed desire to commit suicide was stirring. Because he was in his own dormitory, he was quite relaxed. He almost didn't think much and said in a funny way: "Wife."

"…What the hell did I just say?"

Just now, it seemed as if a door to a new world flashed before my eyes...

Ling Dengxian felt that one day he would cry because of his own stupidity.

"Fortunately, no one is watching..." Just as he finished speaking, he met a pair of eyes, and the other person didn't seem to have just woken up, and there was no haziness in his eyes.

"...I was just giving you a name! You are not called that name!" Ling Dengxian was a little terrified. If this guy only heard a few words in his sleep, he couldn't imagine what kind of new life he would usher in...

"Woo?" The little dragon poked his finger that was poking his belly with its tail, then wrapped its arm around his wrist and nudged it with its head, before finally letting go of him, turning around and falling asleep again.

"Fortunately... nothing happened." Ling Dengxian wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

After a thrilling brush with the gate to the new world, it was still another morning of washing up as usual.

After washing up, just as he was about to go to the training ground to warm up for tonight, the communication terminal rang.

What Kal'tsit sent was not a real-time communication, but a pre-recorded recording of Kal'tsit.

"Operator White Dove, I hope you had fun last night. I need to remind you that you should go to the Human Resources Department at 12 noon to collect your operator pass. From today on, your study and teaching should also be officially put on the schedule."

"Ah, but I haven't officially..." Ling was halfway through chatting when he realized that this was just a pre-recorded message. He had no choice but to post the recording in a small window and planned to send a message to Kal'tsit or Amiya to ask for details.

"This is the official entry test. I think after the battle in Qie City, I have a rough understanding of your combat capabilities. What needs more coordination should be your running-in training. Of course, the more direct reason is that the training ground was destroyed by a newcomer yesterday. It will be difficult to put it into normal operation again in a short period of time."

As if Kal'tsit knew what he wanted to ask, his fingers that were editing the message paused slightly as he heard the recording. He was speechless. What a new monster... Why hasn't he done the formal test yet? This guy can do the test as soon as he arrives?

"She is quite special. I need to confirm some facts. We have estimated her destructive power. This result is within my expectations."

“So I’m a lower priority?”

"It's not that you have lower priority, but I have no choice. To be honest, in some ways, you are more trustworthy."

"Wow... you predicted all this?" Ling Dengxian raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling very interesting, as if the two of them were having a real-time conversation.

"People who are good at observation can get a lot of information. Don't be too surprised. Maybe I know you better than you think."

"That's a terrible thing to say..."

"Just kidding. From other people's perspective, I seem to lack a sense of humor."

"Indeed..." Ling Dengxian couldn't imagine the mood of the serious film woman when she said this.

"Anyway, I don't know how good your teaching skills are, but I think Operator Franka recommended you for a reason. However, please pay attention to your own cultivation and learning of knowledge in addition to teaching. In this land... In this world, force alone is far from enough. Whether you want to do something career or just live an ideal life of 'ordinary' value, these are indispensable."

"...No, wait! What do you mean? I just started working and no one has started to teach me anything yet, so I have to start teaching others?" Ling Dengxian suddenly realized a very important problem.

"Don't be surprised. Think carefully about your resume. Didn't the Imperial Guards train you when you were in Longmen? Your combat proficiency is obvious to all of us. You must have some experience that we don't know about. You are no longer a new reserve operator who needs experience and training. This is a fact. Although you are very young, after careful consideration, I think what you lack more is knowledge reserves, not just medicine."

Ling Dengxian was silent. She was right, but didn't this woman know him too well? However, he couldn't feel any disgust. After all, Kal'tsit had been thinking about him so far and didn't know everything about him.

He now wanted to know who the student he would face as a teacher for the first time in his life would be. He hoped it would not be a troublemaker. He knew Kal'tsit would soon answer in the recording.

"Melissa is a Filin woman, very young. You need to teach her swordsmanship, not basic skills. What she needs is to understand how to swing the sword correctly."

"She will come to see you when she's ready. It should be today. Of course, my student will probably arrange a new life plan and come to see you tomorrow. She has a bit of an impatient temper, but... in your words, she's still very cute."

"There's still a schedule, so that's it for now. I wish you all the best."

Ling Dengxian sighed and felt a little headache. After all, if the role of a teacher was not done well, it might affect a person's life.

At this time, there was a knock on his door. He shouted "Wait a minute" to make sure he had taken care of his image in case the girl named Rosella came and left a bad impression because of her clothes.

He opened the door and saw a film girl standing in front of him. She looked at her watch and frowned when she saw him open the door. "It's eight forty. When did you get up? Doctor Kal'tsit should have told you that your future responsibilities will change, right? So, I came to see you."

"..." Ling Dengxian's heart twitched. With this personality... it would probably be difficult to get along with this student.

"Well, I roughly understand it, but I lack knowledge in this area. Please take care of me in the future." Ling Dengxian extended his hand to the brown-haired film girl.
