Arknights, please stop going crazy over the streamer's operators.

"Where's Sheng Yu? Get out here!"

"It seems that really is... Damn it, I was so excited watching the Mace God just now that I forgot about this. Wasn't there a bet?"

"Where are those people who said they were going to give money? Step forward!"

"Prisoner 9527, I order you to admit your mistake immediately!"

"Paratrooper Number One, come and deliver the money quickly."

These few shouts in the live stream almost caused Li Ji's chat UI to freeze.

The live stream was filled with dazzling screen effects and SC (Super Screen) effects.

"Thank you... thank you... no, there are too many, I can't thank you all!"

Li Ji initially wanted to express his gratitude for the gifts, but unfortunately, the messages were scrolling by so fast that he couldn't see who sent what, so he had to give up.

"Alright, thanks for the gifts and SCs, my buddies. I won't read them all out, but most of them are what you deserve anyway."

Looking at the IDs sending gifts and SCs on the screen, Li Ji suppressed a laugh, cupped his hands in thanks, and thanked the live streamer.

Seeing that they were all completely convinced and had lost all their previous arrogance, I realized that they had all given in to their accusations.

Li Ji found it funny.

These people are all the same ones who were shouting in Sheng Yu's live stream just now. Paying back the bets they lost is what they deserve.

However, at least these people clearly stated the terms of the bet.

However, Sheng Yu...

They are currently experiencing relentless abuse in the live stream.

Li Ji neither wanted to nor needed to say anything on her behalf.

They didn't even want to utter a single sarcastic remark.

He didn't want to fall to the same level as the other party.

Since Sheng Yu chose the path of creating public opinion, the backlash from that public opinion will be her punishment.

If Li Ji cannot summon his mace, then he will be the one being insulted now.

As just mentioned.

All of this is deserved.

……

The battle ended in a predictable massacre.

In the joy of victory, the operatives guarding the last line of defense charged towards the mace.

The loud shouts were like a boiling ocean, with cheers and jubilation rising and falling, converging into a victory anthem.

"Black Knight! Black Knight! Black Knight!"

"Mace! Mace! Mace!"

"Could you give me your autograph, Miss Jian?"

"Please sign this for me. If I miss this chance... I'll never have another one!"

"Could you sign this on my clothes? I brought a pen today! Sign mine first!!"

A group of people surrounded the mace, expressing their admiration.

However, as the Black Knight who had won three championships, Mace was already used to this situation...

I even feel much more relaxed than before.

At her prompting, a group of people quickly and spontaneously formed a long line, waiting for Jian's autograph.

Li Ji, who wanted to go over and greet Jian, could only stand aside with his arms crossed and wait with Warfarin.

It's like being a security guard at a celebrity meet-and-greet, completely unable to get involved.

Although the scene looks very incongruous against the backdrop of bright red cracks.

Just after Jian finished signing each one.

The last person handed over a blank sheet of paper.

"Ms. Jian, could you please sign this for me?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Jian also raised his head.

She discovered that it was indeed Li Ji holding the blank paper, standing in front of her, waiting for the Black Knight's 'favor'.

"I never thought that even in a different world, the Black Knight would still be the same Black Knight."

Seeing that he had been discovered by the mace, Li Ji laughed and teased her.

"What's standing here is just a mace."

Jian shook his head slightly in reply.

"The title 'Black Knight' is completely meaningless here."

She put away the pen and looked at the edge of the crack. "Is this a crack? I have heard recently that similar cracks have appeared in places prone to natural disasters, but I haven't seen one with my own eyes yet..."

"This is my first time entering a rift. Are there similar things in Terra?"

When faced with the question about the mace, Li Ji thought for a moment and then asked Warfarin, who was standing next to him.

"Warfarin, has Rhodes Island received any similar missions recently?"

"A mission? I've never heard them mention anything like that."

Warfarin scratched her pale cheek. "It's more accurate to say that I haven't left the medical room much lately. Why don't you ask Dr. Kal'tsit?"

"..."

Li Ji paused for a moment, his mind automatically conjuring up the riddles Kal'tsit might utter.

He then waved his hand to politely decline, and walked out of the crevice with his mace and Warfarin.

The moment they stepped out of the crack.

The system screen also appeared in front of Li Ji:

【Completed tasks】

【Condition 1: Conduct a live stream and have one of the Rhodes Island operators from your network join the battle. Completed by: Warfarin.】 (√)

【Condition 2: Conduct a live stream and increase the popularity of one of the Rhodes Island operators in the relationship network to 150,000. Completed by: Wanfeng.】 (√)

【Condition 3: The total popularity value of all operators exceeds 500,000. Completed by: Jian.】 (√)

[Congratulations! You have received: 3 Unlock Certificates for Any 6-Star Operator, and 1 Operator Recruitment Attendance.]

[Start the next stage of the mission?]

Wanfeng stood at the entrance of the crack, looking at the task list that appeared before him in surprise.

Previously, he could only deliver the corresponding missions by opening Arknights in the holographic device.

But now he can complete the task directly on the screen in front of him.

"Is this also a capability brought by the streamer module?"

The only thing Li Ji could think of right now was the newly added module. "Although it doesn't add any base stats, its functions are quite practical."

However, there was one thing about this mission that he truly hadn't expected...

Why is he the one who completed Task Two?

So, Rhodes Island's idol-training program is training him, the Doctor?

He could completely understand why the popularity of this mace was soaring.

After all, he was just in the live stream and saw with his own eyes that Jian's popularity had reached 600,000 to 700,000.

One person alone broke the 500,000 popularity mark for Mission 3.

This ability to attract fans is something that would make celebrities weep and fandoms cry.

But this "complete person Wanfeng" was something Li Ji never expected.

Is he considered an operator?

Oh... in a sense, he does count as an operator.

After all, he was a warlock before becoming a streamer.

Even Li Ji himself had almost forgotten that he was once a six-star graduate of the Sorcerer Academy.

Furthermore, according to the mission details...

His popularity is even higher than that of Warfarin.

Li Ji originally wanted to give the other world a shock with the 'support' healer.

But it seems that no one understood it except for the fear.

Everyone was focused on the explosive damage of the mace, but they ignored Warfarin, a top-tier support hero.

"Sure enough, everyone's understanding is that they like whoever deals the most damage. It's really a case of losing and winning repeatedly."
