I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

"Are you there?" The tall Zalak asked in a low voice from behind.

"I didn't see it." Rupert walked around in frustration, but still couldn't find the target. He couldn't help but push Zalak: "Don't just stand there, let's look together."

The two men paid no attention to the lives or deaths of the people here during their conversation.

It seems they're not from the Royal Guard.

At this moment, Swire lifted the curtain, stepped out of the interrogation area, came to Yun Yi's side, and saw the current situation.

"Have they found him?"

"We found it by following these two people," Yun Yi said, gesturing to the two very conspicuous figures who were still searching among the numb and fearful crowd.

Swire glanced at the projection, which showed exactly what the old man had mentioned: "below the boxing ring."

Are you here for the "new products"?

Shi Huaiya pondered and shared the general information she had obtained from the interrogation with Yun Yi.

He then analyzed, "The person in charge of this land is used to facing difficulties head-on. You attracted her attention in the place I mentioned earlier, so there's no need to worry about the victim being moved or silenced for the time being."

“But we don’t have to worry for a very short time.” Swire pointed to the house in the projection that had been bombed by Yun Yi and was now filled with a large group of enemies, and said with a serious look in her eyes, “That person is also decisive. Once he is sure that he can’t find the attacker, he will immediately cut off his tail to save his life.”

“There’s no time. Knock these two out and take them with you. Take all the victims here—we don’t have time to distinguish them carefully.” Swire moved the projection aside and carefully looked at the large room that resembled a prison cell. She cautiously added, “Just in case, take all the people and things in this room.”

Yun Yi skillfully followed her instructions, activated 0-5 to knock everyone unconscious, and with a wave of his hand, sucked all the people and objects on the ground, along with the dust, into the driver's space.

The room instantly became spotless and completely empty.

“Take five steps to the left, '0-1'.” Swire’s commands became increasingly concise.

Yunyi and Yunyi moved five steps to the left in perfect coordination and then vaporized the wall with a wave of their hand—0-1 is also equipped in the palm cannon.

"Full speed ahead, back to the elevator."

The wind pressure was heavy for a moment, then dissipated as if it had never existed.

Yun Yi had already passed the central area and landed in front of the elevator with an afterimage that was invisible to others.

Swire's eyes flashed with admiration at the speed of the mecha under Yun Yi's control. Without pausing, she immediately commanded, "'0-2,' enter the elevator shaft and return to the hotel."

Yun Yi lowered his body, and several air vents on the mecha immediately spewed out azure gas.

As the gas quickly enveloped the mecha's gray-white body, Yun Yi rushed directly towards the elevator, passing through the elevator doors like a ghost. Ensuring that all equipment and the environment were intact, he entered the elevator shaft area without any obstruction.

The horizontally extending elevator shaft looks like a giant rectangular pipe that has been cut open.

Its neat supports extend parallel to each other on both sides, and the cold, hard metal rails extend infinitely in the horizontal direction, deep and silent.

As Yun Yi walked through, he felt that this place was extremely secluded and dark. The invisible, dim area seemed to have eyes, giving him a strange sense of being coveted.

The mech's continuous shielding and detection alerts told her that this might not be an illusion.

"This is outrageous!" Yun Yi exclaimed in astonishment. "Which genius arranged so many detectors in the elevator shaft?"

Will it really be useful?

Swire noticed her confusion and explained, "Elevator shafts usually have various hidden passages and even secret room entrances. This level of high-density security is not common, but it is not uncommon either."

Yun Yi understood; the elevator shaft had actually become an important location?

Is the reason for the hidden value of this special location? It's similar to the darkest place under the lamp.

ps:

The author has released two chapters (4000+ words) starting today.

the reason:

1. After signing a contract, you need to accumulate some drafts to prepare for publication.

There's not much to say about this. Generally speaking, it seems to be the norm to release a large number of chapters at once. You can't do without a stockpile of chapters, because authors with poor writing skills can't write ten chapters at once.

2. We should take this book more seriously.

I'm basically updating without any input right now, and a new friend I met said that this is unstable and makes it easy to cut off the project. Easy to cut off, although I feel that I value this book so much that I won't cut it off, but I do have to consider that reality is not centered on consciousness. Since the experienced person said so, I have to consider those unforeseen circumstances, so I decided to listen to them and save some manuscripts in advance as a precaution.

3. In order to avoid interrupting updates due to real-world events, I need to have a stockpile of chapters to deal with.

This is purely the author's own desire to receive full attendance bonuses and related rewards.

I can only get one leave slip per month, but I can't be busy for only one day every month. To make the most of my time, I need to have a backlog of drafts.

In summary, from now on, there will be two updates per day, posted at two of the following times: 7 AM, 11 AM, 6 PM, and 11 PM. Usually, 7 AM and 6 PM will be the two scheduled updates.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen - Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Target (He almost died, it seems)

Having figured things out on his own, Yunyi stopped paying attention to the topic and focused on moving forward.

The Nirvana passed by the numerous probes, seemingly hidden somewhere, and quickly arrived at the elevator entrance on the lower level of the hotel.

Taking advantage of the fact that the "0-2" on the mecha had not completely dissipated, Yun Yi smoothly passed through the elevator door and saw the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"Massive '0-2' numbers, go to the top floor, remember to avoid people," Swire said seriously. "Speed ​​the fastest."

"Understood!" Yun Yi's lips immediately curved into a happy smile, and her excited smile spread across her face: she loved this kind of unrestrained and carefree action.

Yun Yi lowered his body, and in sync, the Nirvana's back, legs, and feet slid open the shields, revealing six complex-designed jet nozzles.

Just before the Nirvana took off, a massive gray light, which even the stealth function could not conceal, flashed by, and the floor beneath their feet slammed down as if by a ten-thousand-ton hammer.

Under this brute force, it silently twisted and collapsed, tearing open to reveal the dark, colorful pipes before erupting with a deafening roar and a shockwave that lifted the walls.

As the Nirvana was propelled into the sky by this immeasurable force, some of its vents opened and closed continuously under Yun Yi's control, from which thick, liquid-like blue mist flowed out, completely enveloping the mecha's body.

The wind pressure generated by the Nirvana subsequently did not damage anything due to the official commissioning of "0-2".

However, even inside the cockpit, Yun Yi could still feel the sound waves generated by the mecha traveling at high speed, which were hitting her eardrums heavily.

In just a short moment of flight, Yun Yi's visual observation speed began to fall completely behind the speed of the mecha's movement.

This caused her to feel a strong sense of dizziness, and the scenery in front of her eyes shook violently like a mirror rippled by a gale, making it impossible to see clearly. She could only rely on the color blocks and the instincts naturally formed by her high mental attributes to avoid passersby and enemies along the way.

Throughout the process, Yun Yi felt his energy, even his breathing and heartbeat, were being squeezed, his adrenaline was soaring, and he was completely focused on controlling the speeding Nirvana to evade and advance.

Only after a few seconds had passed, when the Nirvana carried Yun Yi to the top floor attic, all the maneuverability was perfectly dissipated by its powerful performance, and Yun Yi remembered to breathe.

When she came to her senses, her body was only half a beat too late in feeling suffocation. Her chest burned with a throbbing pain, her throat tightened, and her vision began to darken in waves. All she could hear was the roar of her heartbeat and the hum of the mecha's power. Her limbs began to go weak, as if she were about to die from lack of oxygen at any moment.

Startled, Yun Yi immediately began to swallow large gulps of air to fill his empty chest, attempting to alleviate the torment.

Swire hadn't expected the side effects of the mech going full speed to be so significant for Yun Yi.

Seeing Yun Yi frantically trying to save himself, Shi Huaiya rushed forward and pushed the somewhat delirious Yun Yi off the control panel.

After severing the connection between Yun Yi and the mecha, she anxiously shouted, "Take a deep breath—Yun Yi! Listen to me, open your mouth!"

While using its claws to control Yunyi's mouth, which was instinctively opening and closing to inhale oxygen, it forced her to follow its lead: "Stop, inhale! Inhale again, inhale again! Now exhale, don't stop, expel the stale air before trying to breathe again..."

Yun Yi was forced to synchronize his breathing with the sound that had successfully penetrated his heart and entered his brain through the roaring sound.

Her vision kept going black, and the stinging pain in her brain made her want to break free from the synchronization and instinctively gulp down the surrounding oxygen.

But a hand firmly held her mouth shut, and oxygen would only be released if she listened to that voice.

She tried to breathe through her nose, but almost choked to death.

Helpless, Yun Yi, in a daze, could only follow the increasingly clear and textured voice as he slowly adjusted his breathing under the torment of his body.

As his blurred vision gradually returned and the pounding in his temples subsided, Yun Yi felt as if he had come back to life, followed by a sense of exhilaration.

The realism she felt during mecha training paled in comparison to the thrill of this high-speed driving experience!

Although the consequences were severe, it was really exhilarating to fly at high speed, defying gravity and dodging passersby!

However, it's too short, and...

Yun Yi, whose limbs were still a little weak, mumbled "thank you," then calmly added, "I'm going to faint."

"I know, relax, this is normal. You should be in a state where you should pass out, don't push yourself!"

As Swire spoke, she tried her best to remain calm, not letting herself lose her rationality due to this complete failure of command, so that Yunyi would suffer again.

Yun Yi, however, stubbornly refused to close her eyes. Her voice, weak and feeble, betrayed her exhaustion, still preoccupied with the unfinished task—she disliked giving up halfway: "What about the victims? Can we get the Nirvana..."

Should we feed her those magical potions?

The cosmic-level medicine will definitely help her recover instantly!

Shi Huaiya immediately guessed Yun Yi's unfinished meaning.

She twitched her lips into a benevolent smile, but her brows were furrowed with a bright, almost explosive rage: "Shut up, and lie there and pass out!"

"Listen! When the body exceeds its limits, especially the brain, it's not something that can be resolved by simply returning to normal. The only solution is rest!"

Swire was unaware that the potion originated from a cosmic civilization beyond her worldview; she simply assumed it was a type of medicine that provided instant physical recovery without involving the mind.

There are also potions like Terra Earth, but they cannot heal subtle injuries such as hidden wounds.

Swire believes that the medicine Yun Yi previously presented is also ineffective.

Yun Yi shook his head, forcing himself to say, "The fact that I didn't pass out uncontrollably means I haven't reached my limit yet. Besides, the potions given by the system are very strong; they can heal any kind of physical injury!"

"You're showing off again..." Swire exhaled hot breath, feeling like she was about to be driven crazy by the anxiety.

Even if it's true, Yun Yi should rest!

Pushing limits is not just about exhausting the body and causing damage; it also exhausts the spirit!

Did Yun Yi really intend to force herself to overcome her mental exhaustion, resolve the situation here, and then complete the seven-hour plan she had mentioned earlier?

Swire almost laughed in exasperation at his own guess.

She simply pressed down on Yun Yi's head, intending to physically render him unconscious: "I can handle things here, you don't need to worry about it!"

As long as you have the ability to control the situation, it is possible to achieve a non-invasive coma.

"Wait!" Seeing the situation was getting out of hand, Yun Yi quickly raised his voice to stop them, waving his hand that was gradually regaining its strength: "Look, I'm already recovering, I really haven't reached my limit yet!"

“…?” Swire blinked slowly, repeatedly confirming that she hadn’t misread the situation because she was dizzy; Yun Yi was indeed recovering.

What's the principle behind this?

ps:

So the Collision Iron Concert was actually a real concert?

Damn it, the tickets are all sold out.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter Twenty-Nine: What else can be done? (Lying down, lying down)

“No, you need to rest.” After a moment of doubt, Swire still shook her head in refusal.

She pointed out the problem sharply: "We can't be sure if this is a case of a deathbed rally—just now, you said you were going to faint."

“Furthermore, the performance of the Nirvana doesn’t seem to match your physique. You need to undergo a formal test instead of continuing to throw yourself into actual combat.” Swire touched Yun Yi’s still feverish forehead, reaffirming her decision, and said seriously, “Enough is enough, Yun Yi.”

Yun Yi's gaze wandered, unwilling to abandon his first-ever interdimensional combat mission while his mind was being excitedly stimulated by pain and pleasure.

She genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with her body—after all, she had the body of a game character!

Which game character can suffer permanent damage due to excessive force?

In the game, the only difference between a character being dead and one still alive is that they are dead.

However, her body is designed so that death equals unconsciousness; even if she dies, all negative effects will be cleared and she will wake up on the spot.

Yun Yi's prolonged avoidance of eye contact made Swire clear about her decision.

Swire took a deep breath and sighed, "Yunyi, no matter how immortal or resilient your body is, it has nothing to do with your spirit."

"You'll still get tired, won't you?"

Yun Yi paused, it seemed so.

Although her body was in top condition, her mind would fall asleep when she was tired, and she would also get tired when she concentrated for a long time.

Even now, ignoring the exciting elements, one can't help but feel mentally weary.

"But that's just my subconscious continuing old emotions and habits, isn't it?" A hint of doubt flashed in Yun Yi's eyes.
