Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

"Are you all okay?"

Bai Tie asked when they returned to the base.

Ines and Hedley said they were both fine. Shen Qi looked at his arm:

"It's just a small wound."

Bai Tie took a quick look and found that nothing was wrong. Then, Ines found the car they had taken and set off on the road back to Rhodes Island.

[Ding! Merit gained: 6000+2000 (first win of the day)]

Shen Qi received a message from the system. Actually, he felt that he could give a little more, but after all, the economic crisis of the novice period no longer existed, and he had more and more merits on hand.

He wanted to go back to play the contract, and he didn't know how many friends he had in the real world - his account was currently isolated from the outside world, and the friend slot was shown as empty, so he couldn't use any help.

Shen Qi suddenly wanted to ask something, but he didn't say it directly. Instead, he sent a message to Ines on his phone:

"Where did you get that pistol?"

"Oh, I used the power of Tarot cards."

"Tarot cards? Why are you hiding things again?"

"Isn't it to assist you? I used a tarot card to bless you before the battle, otherwise you wouldn't be able to fight as powerfully as you did just now."

"No wonder I suddenly felt stronger."

"But in theory, even if I don't give you a buff, you can still beat me. After all, you still have some ability now."

"It's all thanks to the system."

"You know the truth."

Shen Qi looked at the scenery outside the window. It seemed that it was about to get dark when they arrived in Rhodes Island.

It's declining, why don't you come back?

------------

Seeing that Inès and Hedley had not returned yet, W had no choice but to stay in Rhodes Island. In the cafeteria, Kal'tsit paid for W's dinner out of her own pocket.

"It looks like I'll have to work with Rhodes Island for a longer time."

W said while holding a spoon, "Ines is not going to leave in the short term."

"It seems that she didn't tell you either. She originally signed a long-term contract and came to me yesterday to renew it."

"Huh? That's not her way?"

W still found it hard to believe that Inès was going to stay in Rhodes Island for a long time or even settle down there.

"Inès is an old member of the Tower of Babel, and the Doctor needs her protection."

Inès: I have to protect the doctor and serve the host. Sooner or later, I will be exhausted to death.

"Ah, this doctor is really, still so weak, like a little toothpick."

"The doctor has a special status. I don't know too much about it."

In fact, Kal'tsit knew it, but she couldn't say it.

"Alas, just a bunch of trash."

While the two were talking, two familiar figures came to the cafeteria.

"Hey, you two are back. How are you two doing?"

W said hello to Inès and Hedley - she still thought they were the only ones who went out.

Inès's face was calm, while Hedley sighed:

"I'm just going out to take a job, nothing much."

The two quickly bought the food and sat down next to W and Kal'tsit.

"W, I think you need to learn some knowledge first. It's not good to be illiterate now."

Hedley still mentioned it, and seemed to be planning for his future life.

W felt a headache at the thought of learning to read. She looked at Ines and Kal'tsit, as if seeking help.

Inès: I have no problem with that.

Kelsey: I have no problem with that.

W: Who asked you?

------------

Shen Qi had no appetite and returned to the dormitory immediately. However, he found something at the door.

"Huh? Why would someone send me bread?"

Shen Qi picked up the bread on the ground, feeling very confused.

"Could it be..."

[You're overthinking. This is from Javi.]

"Javi? He sent me something. Did the sun rise from the west?"

[He has long considered you a brother. When you sneaked past him before, he was so excited that he wanted to rush into the medical department.]

"Ah? I still owe him a wrench!"

[He doesn't care anymore, he still approves of you. ]

Shen Qi felt that this was a pleasant surprise. When he entered the dormitory, he opened the package and ate the bread, and also mentioned the contract.

He went to bed very early today, checked the messages in the group, and fell asleep directly.

But he missed a very fatal piece of news: a friend named "Twelve Strange Stupid" in the group asked for help from everyone:

"Help, I seem to have fallen into the world of the Ark. Is anyone there?"

......

When he woke up the next day, Shen Qi found that he had been @ed more than a dozen times last night.

"What happened?"

He clicked on the group and found that "12 Strange Fools" was looking for him and sent a friend request. He clicked on "Agree", but the other party did not send a message - maybe the other party was still sleeping.

After a quick wash, he headed for the cafeteria. However, at the entrance of the cafeteria, he saw Texas again—different from the past, she seemed to have been waiting here for a while.

"Good morning, Millennium."

Texas smiled at him and handed him a cup:

"I made the coffee, drink it while it's hot."

"Ah, thanks."

Shen Qi took the cup gratefully, and then the two of them walked into the cafeteria.

Shen Qi felt that Texas should consider him as a good friend. Although she still looked aloof, Shen Qi liked her very much.
