it is Arknights!

However, in the end, when it came to deciding on the training, it was still the entire Penguin Logistics crew participating together.

Actually, initially, Texas didn't plan to involve so many people; after all, it was just supervising Li Lin alone training his muscles, Texas could do it very well by herself. Plus, Texas also knew some relatively secret training methods, knew how to stimulate physical growth and enhancement.

But how should I put it, the reason the entire Penguin Logistics crew ended up participating wasn't because Texas wanted to avoid suspicion, but because the commotion brought about by the training that night was truly somewhat shocking.

When going back in the end, because he really had no strength left, Li Lin was directly carried back by Texas.

Croissant, who came out for a late-night snack, witnessed this entire scene carrying pudding, staring dumbfounded at Li Lin draped over Texas's shoulder, dropping pudding all over the floor. Before Li Lin could even say hello, Croissant scrambled back to the bedroom and quickly woke up Exusiai, who had already put on her eye mask and was sleeping peacefully.

Seeing Texas and Li Lin entangled together, Exusiai, having just pulled down her eye mask, immediately widened her eyes, gasped, flipped over, and directly hit her head on the wall, ascending to heaven on the spot (passed out). Seeing Exusiai seriously injured, Texas instantly threw Li Lin onto the floor and hurried over. Li Lin, already aching all over, was immediately hit in a certain fragile spot by the protruding part of a chair, didn't even let out a muffled groan, and passed out headfirst. This scared Croissant so much she dropped her pudding on the spot, hastily wanted to go over and help, but ended up stepping on the previously dropped pudding, slipped and fell flat on her back (滑了一個底朝天 - huá le yí ge dǐ cháo tiān), her head hitting the floor directly with a thud, losing consciousness.

By the time Texas had just finished pinching Exusiai's philtrum (人中 - rénzhōng - acupressure point) and revived her, she turned her head only to see a Forte with rolled-back eyes and an unconscious Prophet lying on top of squashed pudding. Paired with the newly replaced light green carpet, the scene was beautifully tragic, like a heroic sacrifice. According to Exusiai's testimony, Texas didn't say anything on the surface, but in that instant, she was so scared her tail went completely stiff.

After finally waiting for all four to regain consciousness, facing Exusiai's bandaged forehead and Croissant's bandaged back head, everyone present unanimously emphasized that everyone should advance and retreat together, Penguin Logistics united as one, and not make a big fuss over some other things happening, causing such accidental injury incidents.

And so, after quite a bit of commotion, Li Lin, who originally planned to train quietly, accepted the reality of being supervised in his training by the three girls of Penguin Logistics together.

Due to the addition of Exusiai and Croissant, Li Lin's training program became even more detailed. It turned into physical combat training, dodging shots and designated target shooting, as well as understanding Originium Arts and points to note for battlefield scavenging—the latter was learned under Croissant's strong insistence. Because Operator Croissant herself often lost some of her rare accessories and wallet during battles due to carelessness, she hoped Li Lin could retrieve some so everyone could eat better.

Although there were inconveniences like this or that, Li Lin felt he had finally, barely integrated into the life of Penguin Logistics. Under the care of Exusiai and the others, his life in this world started, albeit stumbling along . Started very barely, amidst the unpleasant smell of sour liquid and regurgitated matter.

Delivering packages in the morning, eating fast food or bread in the car at noon while shooting the breeze and listening to music with Exusiai and Croissant, then sparring with Texas and the other two at night after finishing deliveries. Going straight to bed when tired.

And quite coincidentally, during one delivery run, they encountered Officer Ch'en directing an assault.

After some negotiation, Officer Ch'en very readily sold some used equipment to Penguin Logistics at a discount—because the original shop responsible for disposal was caught for tax evasion, the very one they were currently raiding. So Li Lin was also very lucky to possess a full set of Guard Bureau training equipment.

Although used, the quality was basically fine, just replaced annually due to bureau regulations. Companies profiting from this were not few. And now this happened to be the last batch handled by a private company; in the future, it would all be handled internally by the Lungmen Guard Bureau itself. Li Lin felt quite lucky, but for some reason, his teammates looked at him more and more like he was a freeloader .

And subsequently, during a rest day, after the operators from Blacksteel International delivered a batch of decommissioned environmental simulation props, this gaze became as piercing as a knife. But Li Lin didn't feel there was anything to criticize about this.

His luck was good, went up and asked, and coincidentally they had it, what's there to say? Can't you allow people to have good luck?

In this fulfilling atmosphere, while Li Lin pinched his arm, feeling like there might be some muscle, but actually maybe not, the appointed time with the Sarkaz mercenary quickly arrived. Texas and the others had prepared various props needed for long-distance driving and spare tires early on, specifically driving out a rather large, raised off-road vehicle from the garage. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the agreed signal appeared precisely on the outskirts of Lungmen.

However, when Texas drove the vehicle to the signal location, the one waiting there was not the tall mercenary Meteorite. But a Sarkaz girl with crimson horns, looking somewhat dangerous. Seeing the vehicle stopped in place, this Sarkaz person waved with a smile.

"Ya, you guys are really punctual. Should I say, as expected of Penguin Logistics?"

"You flatter us. May I ask about the cargo? And the destination region?"

Looking at the red-horned Sarkaz person at the designated location, Texas chewed her chocolate, her face calm.

"Since it's not Miss Meteorite, I will repeat Penguin Logistics' principles here again. Our fee standards are judged based on difficulty and distance. Cross-national transport will require more Lungmen LMD. The upper limit is five hundred thousand. May I ask what you wish to send?"

"Of course, it's this little thing. Please deliver it to Talulah in the outer district of Chernobog, you'll know once you ask."

"From here to Chernobog requires two hundred and fifty thousand Lungmen LMD, and payment is cleared upon delivery, is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem~"

Tossing the very familiar small box, which seemed to have had a dozen more layers of seals added using a unique Sarkaz technique, into Texas's arms, this red-horned Sarkaz person said with a grin:

"But aren't you suspicious why Meteorite didn't appear? Aren't you curious what exactly is inside this thing?"
