The trees on both sides swayed gently in the night breeze, making a rustling sound that mingled with the occasional chirping of insects in the distance.

The streetlights on both sides of the street emitted a warm yellow glow, adding a touch of coziness to the night.

Occasionally, a vehicle on a field mission would drive by, making a slight sound of tires rolling, breaking the silence of the night, but quickly blending back into the darkness and becoming part of the night.

Unfortunately, it seems no one is in the mood to appreciate this beautiful night view today.

Li Ji could tell from Tian Sheng's message that what was about to happen might not be ordinary.

The moment he received the message, he brought Jian and Ines to the door to meet.

It's also possible that they were closer to the entrance and didn't need to gather any team members, so they arrived at the agreed location early.

While waiting for Tiansheng.

Li Ji also opened his panel, preparing to complete the task from the previous stage.

【Special Mission 1: 'I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card: Fusion Deactivation'. Please destroy any Fusion faction hideout located in the safe zone via live stream.】 (√)

[Special Mission Two: 'What are you doing? I'm playing Arknights.' Give the enemy a little Arknights shock in real life.] (√)

【Task 3: The total popularity of all operators exceeds three million.】 (√)

[Congratulations! You have obtained: 3 Unlock Certificates for Any Operator, 1 Originium Arts Potion, and 1 Stamina Potion.]

Just now, Ella's performance has helped him achieve a total popularity score of over three million.

The first two tasks were completed on the first day.

The moment I received the reward.

Without hesitation, Li Ji used the stamina potion in the system's inventory.

The instant the stamina potion disappeared, Li Ji could clearly feel that his body had become lighter and more agile, as if he were a completely different person.

He opened his panel and was surprised to find that several items in the comprehensive physical examination test had changed in the system.

[The stamina potion has taken effect. The Doctor's physical strength, battlefield mobility, and physiological endurance have been improved, upgrading him from a weak point to a normal one.]

"Such a huge improvement? If I consume a few more bottles, won't I become invincible?!"

It's worth noting that in Terra, where superhumans are common, many people are just average in these aspects.

In this world, there are quite a few people with three or even four defects.

Li Ji reached this level with just one bottle of the potion, which already surprised him greatly.

Next up is another compound.

"Originium Arts Elixir, I wonder what kind of skill it will unlock for me..."

As he spoke, Li Ji quickly used the medicine.

[Originium Arts potion has taken effect; Doctor has activated the skill: Group Camouflage.]

[Note: This is a special explanation given that this is the Doctor's first time accessing the skills section.]

[Due to the unique nature of the Doctor Streamer template, the acquired skills can be used in regular combat and real-world battles, but cannot be used in Rift battles.]

When a doctor possesses multiple skills, they can switch between them, but the skill points will be reset to zero.

"Group camouflage, it's actually a skill of the Rainstorm!"

Looking at the skills he had acquired and the series of prompts below, Li Ji fell into a brief state of thought.

Acquiring skills is definitely a good thing.

But according to the system prompts.

It seems that this was just to give him a means of self-protection in reality.

It wasn't meant for him to get involved in the battle across the rift...

But about this.

Li Ji was able to barely understand it.

Because this is, after all, the Arknights system.

As a PhD, he certainly couldn't personally go to the battlefield.

This feature is indeed not available in the game.

……

Just as Li Ji was about to look at the details of the new mission...

Several jeeps sped towards us from a distance, their tires screeching against the ground, shattering the tranquility of the night.

The car window rolled down, and Tian Sheng leaned out and said to Li Ji, "Sorry to keep you waiting. I had to gather the team members and other teams I knew, which took some time."

"Oh? So many people are needed, is the situation complicated..."

Li Ji had anticipated that this matter would be somewhat tricky.

But looking at the scene before him, he could clearly sense that things might not be quite as he had imagined.

Qingfeng is a top-tier team, and is expected to be promoted to the special tier soon.

The fact that it could alert such a team and other friendly teams in the middle of the night must not be a simple matter.

"The situation I've been given is indeed somewhat complicated, and we may really need to rely on everyone at Rhodes Island to resolve it... Consider it something I owe you all."

Tian Sheng's expression grew increasingly serious.

Her furrowed brows made her two beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows appear to come together.

"It's alright. Everyone inevitably encounters difficulties, and we should always help each other. Perhaps I will need your help in the future."

Li Ji simply patted Tian Sheng on the shoulder and said reassuringly, "Let's get in the car first. Time is of the essence, so we'll talk as we go."

"Okay, then we'll contact each other by radio and stick close to our convoy!"

Tian Sheng nodded heavily and said nothing more.

The moment Li Ji got into the car and started the engine, the convoy sped off like wild horses, leaving only a trail of whooshing sounds as it passed through the villa area.

The villa area was still brightly lit.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

……

The convoy, like a long snake, sped swiftly through the night.

To make it easier for Mace and Ines to act at any time.

Li Ji also chose to sit in the driver's seat and drive.

After all, Arknights doesn't offer any riding attribute bonuses, nor does it require a special pilot skill.

Otherwise, the King of Push might have a wider range of job opportunities...

After all, in another world, she was also a skilled rider A and an expert in using curry sticks.

So Li Ji took care of the minor task of driving.

Meanwhile, Tian Sheng and several other team leaders were also speaking over the radio in the car.

"My men sent out a distress signal while patrolling the outskirts of the city today. The information that can be deciphered from a specific combination of signals is that they are surrounded by a group of monsters they have never seen before."

Our main objective this time is to rescue people in the nearby suburbs and seal the rift, but if we encounter any areas beyond our capabilities... evacuation is the priority; we absolutely cannot gamble with everyone's safety.

"A new monster, and it's in the suburbs... Does that mean a new rift has formed and started rioting there?"

An unfamiliar voice came through the radio; it was clearly one of the other captains asking for information about Tian Sheng.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that's how it will be."

Tian Sheng answered the question without hesitation and continued to share the information.

"The crack at the target location was in a wasteland, but my team had not contacted me in any way for a long time, so I could only use the location where they sent the signal as a reference."

"The new monsters nowadays have increasingly higher armor and magic resistance, so I specifically called on Wanfeng and Jian from Rhodes Island to deal with any high-armor, high-resistance monsters that we can't handle."

……

Over time.

The convoy was getting closer and closer to the location where the signal was sent.

Just as Li Ji was about to ask about Tian Sheng's exact location,

A warning suddenly came through the radio:

"Watch out under the car! Hold on!"

The moment those words were uttered.

Li Ji felt as if his car had suddenly run over something. As the car shook violently, strange cracking sounds came from underneath it.

It's like... being pressed down on a road covered with water bags?

Li Ji did not panic because of the jolt.

Instead, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, quickly adjusted his speed and distance from the car in front, and tried his best to maintain the stability of the vehicle.

"Holy crap, what kind of lousy road is this?!"
