I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Upon considering this possibility, Yun Yi's expression turned solemn. She immediately controlled the 3D map, zooming in on the mountains until she could clearly see the outlines of fallen leaves on the ground. Then, she meticulously observed the outer perimeter of Longmen's mountain defense line, bit by bit.

Soon, several circular objects, clustered together and located about fifteen centimeters underground, came into Yun Yi's golden-red eyes. Her pupils trembled slightly, and she immediately turned her gaze to look around these circular objects.

Sure enough, not far away, about three meters away, she saw several similar-looking objects again. The déjà vu was so strong that it was hard not to think of landmines.

Unconvinced, Yun Yi used the clusters of objects resembling landmines as a center and searched the mountain where they were located.

After searching, Yun Yi's eyelids twitched. Good heavens, nearly half of this mountain was buried with this thing!

The regular depth and spacing suggest that the site is either planted with root vegetables such as potatoes or is a defensive structure such as landmines.

Considering that the other half of the mountain is the defense line of Longmen and its overly regular shape, Yun Yi believed that this thing was a landmine.

The realization of her bad premonition made Yun Yi's gaze heavy. She immediately followed the mountain and searched the three adjacent mountains without any fortifications.

Just in case, she also carefully reviewed the other mountains along this route.

After searching, Yun Yi almost couldn't help but curse.

Good news. Although the first two mountains were covered with all sorts of traps and landmines by the Lungmen people, the third mountain was not. There are several more mountains beyond the three, so Yunyi will have a place to set up a signal tower.

The bad news is that although no lethal weapons have been deployed on the remaining mountains, several drone-like machines are constantly patrolling the area from the sky, and there is even a large stronghold deep within that appears to be a fortress.

No! Is Longmen really that obsessed with mountains?

Yun Yi found it unbelievable. As a mobile city, was it really necessary for them to develop the surrounding mountains to this extent? They must be crazy!

No matter how angry Yun Yi was, he couldn't change the fact that the desolate mountain area was either occupied by Longmen or under close surveillance.

She continued searching for a long time in the vast mountains, but still couldn't find any ideal place that wasn't under control—they had all been occupied by Longmen in advance!

Yun Yi, who was on the verge of a stroke, was so angry that her head was spinning. She took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath: "*Chinese swear word*!"

She had previously thought that Longmen was wasting its resources, not using such a good plain at all, but it turns out they're really going all out to develop the mountainous areas.

And the system? Where's the promised suitable canyon? She'd wasted all her time and didn't see a single thing!

If the system hadn't said it existed, she wouldn't have wasted so much time in the mountains. She really shouldn't have trusted it to be reliable!

At that moment, Yun Yi decisively blacked out the system from his planning team list and moved it to the execution team list.

This execution team is commonly known as the brainless team.

Incidentally, Yun Yi herself is also in this group. It's not that she really thinks she has no brains at all, but rather that she feels she should be the one to implement the plan.

After all, she had chosen frontline work when she was in management in her previous life, and she was already used to this kind of work rhythm.

The system, unable to speak and frantically trying to communicate in an unknown space, was completely unaware of this.

The ball of light that He manifested vibrated at a high frequency, rolling around on the azure water, emitting a mournful wail in a child's voice formed from Yun Yi's impression, "Why? Why am I silenced again! Main body, I want to speak! Main body! Waaaaaahh ...

Yunyi, who was in the driver's seat, also wanted to groan, but she knew that groaning would be useless given the established facts. She might as well use this time to look at other places on the map, and maybe she would find something suitable.

Driven by this idea, Yunyi quickly calmed down.

She thought about it carefully and realized that the canyon the system mentioned might not be non-existent, since the other party had mentioned a canyon in the wilderness, not a canyon in the wilderness mountains.

She herself assumed that the place the other party pointed out was in the mountains because of the canyon, which is incorrect.

Canyons can appear not only in mountainous areas, but also in deserts, plateaus, basins, and even transitional zones between different terrains. These areas also exist in the Lungmen Wilderness.

The more Yun Yi thought about it, the more he felt that he might have wronged the system.

However, due to her preconceived notions about the system's previous unreliable operations, she did not move it back from the execution group for the time being, and planned to continue observing the map and find the canyon first.

Yun Yi touched his face to calm the lingering agitation from his earlier excitement, and then rubbed his temples and eyes.

She had spent over an hour searching through the various mountains on the map to find the canyon the system had mentioned. Her temples were throbbing and her eyes were incredibly dry.

Of course, this was just a misperception caused by her anxiety.

As a game character, Yunyi's eyes never get dry even if he keeps them open.

After taking a break, she clenched her fist to encourage herself to keep going.

When Yun Yi's gaze fell on the map in front of him, he noticed that a corner of the map had suddenly changed drastically—the dense red dots representing enemies in Longmen were disappearing in large swaths at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Huh? What's going on!" Yun Yi's pupils dilated in shock. Filled with joy and confusion, she quickly replaced the center of the map with Lungmen itself to confirm the situation.

On the map, the large patches of crimson that were once on this mobile city are fading at an extremely rapid pace, and it looks like they are about to disappear completely, with no sign of turning back.

It seems that the forces behind these red dots, including Wei Yanwu and his allies, have indeed changed their minds.

The unexpected good news made Yun Yi scratch his head.

Wei Yanwu was a ruler, a political being.

She knew that the chances of the other party suddenly having a change of heart and letting her go were almost zero, so it was highly likely that someone had done something to cause the other party to abandon the plan to arrest her directly.

The first person Yun Yi thought of was Swire, followed by the Great Emperor, Chen, and Hoshiguma.

Yun Yi raised her hand and turned her wrist to look at the cyan-green light band on her wrist. She was connected to Swire, so she decided to just ask.

Wait, it seems like my sudden contact earlier caused trouble for Swire... Let's go sit down and wait for them to contact us. What if they don't? Probably not, Swire said they would contact us later.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi decisively put down his hand, fixed the Dragon Gate in the center of the map with his mind, and then turned around and floated towards the rising seat in the driver's seat.

She floated to the seat and was about to sit down when the light beam delivered Swire's slightly hoarse but still capable and elegant voice, "Yunyi, the situation has changed. Quickly bring Miss Texas and 001 to the Guard Bureau. Take the main road."

Volume Two: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter 124 Texas: Boss, hmm, the boss must have a deeper meaning behind doing this.

"Take the main road? Okay." Yun Yi held onto the back of the chair, somewhat puzzled, but immediately flashed behind the busy 001.

001 was fluttering its little wings in front of a pale yellow apartment building, its dark, bright eyes constantly flashing data streams.

With each flash of the data stream, a room in the apartment building would be slightly adjusted, and a few heartfelt cheers and thanks would come from the adjusted room, while other rooms would also have sporadic joyful discussions.

"Wow! They all appeared! That's amazing!!"

"Thank you so much! Ah, that's really great..."

"Ahhh, I finally have my own place to live! Waaaaah! Thank you, thank you so much!"

"Impressive, isn't it? You should have just believed it earlier, instead of waiting for the temporary worker to come knocking on your door to urge you!"

"Don't say that, everyone..."

It was at this moment that Yun Yi appeared behind 001.

The moment she appeared, the entire apartment building seemed to be switched on by an invisible switch, falling silent in perfect unison, allowing Yun Yi's words to echo clearly in the space, "001, are you done here?"

Upon hearing her voice, 001 immediately spun around to face Yun Yi, then pounced on her, excitedly replying, "Chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!"

(It's basically done! Just some details like room personalization, which can be done anytime and won't affect anyone's use!)

Yun Yi affectionately hugged 001, who pounced on him, and stroked its fur, praising and asking in a gentle tone, "001 is great, very efficient! Since everything's alright, how about we go together first?"

"Chirp~" (Okay~)

001 squinted and rubbed against Yun Yi's fingertips as he stroked them, its wings flapping excitedly.

"Chirp chirp!" (Commander is so nice, command center is the best!)

The soft chirping made Yun Yi's lips relax and slightly lift.

She lifted 001 and gently rubbed its equally soft body against it, smiling as she said, "Then I'll leave it to you~"

"Chirp!" (Leave it to me!)

001 had no idea what Yun Yi had asked it to do; it was so engrossed in Yun Yi's affectionate touch that it absentmindedly and earnestly agreed.

"Chirp, chirp—chirp!" (No matter what the commander asks me to do, I will definitely complete the objective—give it all to me!)

"Haha, thank you 001~" Yun Yi gently coaxed 001 to carefully place her on her shoulder. The relatively petite 001 cooperated by wrapping her coat collar around Yun Yi's neck and sitting down smoothly.

A warm blanket pressed against his neck, and the lingering unpleasantness from Yun Yi's fluctuating emotions vanished as quickly as snow meeting the warm sun.

She couldn't help but relax and rub against 001 again, almost losing herself in the process after receiving a positive response.

Fortunately, the apartment building was such a large structure that Yun Yi couldn't ignore it, and he managed to retain the rationality to get down to business.

She smoothed 001's tuft of hair, then turned her gaze to the apartment where hundreds of people had been sitting, yet remained completely silent. After a moment's thought, she realized that they had been frightened by her.

This time, she was much closer to the victims than before, and the pressure they felt was perhaps many times greater, making them even more fearful, afraid to move or make a sound.

Yun Yi unconsciously squeezed the collar with his fingertips, secretly cursing himself for being so careless.

She forgot about her own rank again; she should have teleported 001 to her own side earlier.

But it's too late to regret it now, so it's better to leave quickly and let them have an easier time.

After a brief moment of thought, Yun Yi waved his hand to make amends and transferred all the remaining supplies here.

She then left with the words, "These are living supplies. Temporary workers should distribute them as soon as possible and arrange food and lodging for everyone," before immediately taking 001 out of the driver's compartment to prevent the victims from continuing to suffer.

Yun Yi's words caused the victims, who had quickly regained their energy after she left, to burst into tears of joy: "Supplies! That's amazing! It was terrible, but it was amazing!"

Having anticipated this, Yunyi didn't pay attention to the driving space. In any case, given the capabilities of the temporary trio and the power and requirements she personally granted, the victims wouldn't cause too much trouble, no matter how happy they were.

As long as they don't cause chaos, they can do whatever they want.

Yun Yi appeared in the bar lobby with 001, looking relaxed, but was startled by the figure standing in front of him.

She subconsciously clenched one fist and pressed the collar with the other, about to conjure a horse-slaying sword, when she saw the appearance of the person in front of her.

Yun Yi immediately relaxed. "Texas, it's you. Hello, I was just looking for you."

"Hmm? Hmm... Hello?" Texas's wolf ears tucked down slightly. She bit her Pocky and responded vaguely, her tongue touching her back teeth. Her tone was unusually hesitant, unsure how to respond to Yun Yi in this situation.

It's not that I don't know how to respond, but I'm just angry.

The subtle sense of danger emanating from this person always felt like a thorn in her side, and she subconsciously wanted to be more careful with her words and actions.

—It was as if the slightest mistake would bring about utter destruction.

It's amazing, even though my intuition told me the other party wasn't that strong.

Texas pondered as she slowly chewed and swallowed the biscuit, taking some time to dispel the stress response her body had received from the other person's sudden outburst.

After all, based on our interactions, the other person seems surprisingly easy to get along with, so there's no need to be overly cautious.

Texas, her eyes now calm, swept over Yun Yi's entire body, not lingering on the strange creature that had appeared on his shoulder. She met his gaze indifferently and said, "The people we commissioned have already been escorted away by urgently dispatched staff."

Yunyi didn't notice Texas's hesitation; she assumed the pause was simply because the other person was eating.

Therefore, she patiently waited for the other person to finish eating and speaking before saying seriously, "Okay, I understand, but this time I'm not here for the people I've entrusted, I need you to come with me to the Guard Bureau."

"A commission?" Texas's touch on the Pocky was smooth and fluid, and in the blink of an eye, another cookie appeared on her lips. "I don't take on side jobs."

"Tell her that this is a commission accepted by the Emperor." Swire's information arrived instantly via the interconnected doll communication system.

Yun Yi glanced at the light strip and nodded to Texas, "Don't worry, it's your boss who took the job. Can we go now?"

The job was taken by the boss?

Texas said "Just a moment," took out a terminal from her white coat pocket, and swiped it a few times.

Soon, her gaze was fixed on the message the Emperor had sent ten minutes earlier. Her wolf ears stood up abruptly, and the nonchalant look in her eyes vanished, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

She immediately put away the terminal, looked up and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Yun Yi, looking up to meet her gaze. "It's definitely true, please."

PS:

Because Manju's words felt a bit messy, parentheses have been added to this chapter.

Everyone can share their preference for not using parentheses or using parentheses. If it's the former, I'll add parentheses in messy places (by chapter). If it's the latter, I'll add them everywhere.

Or, other suggestions are welcome.

To be honest, the author didn't know how to handle it either. Balancing the unique speaking style of the wild chicks with the meaning it conveys seems to be more difficult than the author imagined.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 125 Chen: If Madam were the mayor… No, I shouldn’t cause her trouble.

As Yunyi, Texas, and 001 raced along the street toward the Guard Bureau, Swire was smiling as she walked out of her magnificent mansion.

The moment she stepped out the door, her expression darkened, her brows furrowing for a moment before relaxing. "Damn it... Oh well, at least I've achieved my goal."

"*Longmen swear words*!" Chen Meifeng, who was following closely behind her, raised his eyebrows slightly, his red eyes bright and fiery, like burning flames.

She lowered her head slightly and stepped out the door, her features contorted with disgust, as if she had tasted something foul.

The adorable, light purple lucky bag-like accessory hanging from the prominent dragon horns on Chen's forehead swayed with her movements.

As the accessory swayed, the wind blew through the corridor lamp above the door behind Chen, the crisp clanging of metal against metal mingling with Chen's angry voice, "That guy's only good for surveillance! He actually tried to negotiate with us using these things, hiss—whoosh—"
