Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too

Ark Traveler, I want to take a day off today too Author: Ashes just crawled out of the cemetery

“What? You want to poach people from Rhodes Island?” Linley picked his nose and looked at the supreme leader of the Reunion Movement.

"That's right. You can propose any conditions, as long as they can be met by the Integration Movement." Kosice smiled at him charmingly, "If you want..."

“No! Since you asked me to make a request, I’m going to make one!” Lin Lei counted on his fingers as if he was reading out the menu: “Do I have five insurances and one fund when I come here? There won’t be a long and short week, right? Do I get paid for overtime? Actually, my salary requirement is not high, twenty thousand a month…”

"Are you deliberately humiliating me?"

"That's nonsense! After I finish this job, my little bunny boss will grant me a long vacation!"

001. Logistics Operator

On a piece of wasteland between Ursus and Yan Country, a land-based aircraft carrier was moving slowly forward.

This landship is the headquarters of a company called 'Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals', and at this moment, a very fierce quarrel is taking place inside this brightly lit ship.

"Amiya, do you really want to wake up the doctor?" A woman in a white coat with white hair and cat ears asked the little girl with bunny ears beside her.

"Dr. Kal'tsit, Chernobog has fallen into a certain degree of chaos due to the emergence of the infected organization Integration Movement. This may be the opportunity for us to bring the doctor back..." said the bunny-eared girl named Amiya firmly.

"No, Amiya, you know the question I'm asking is not whether this is a good time to bring back the doctor." Kal'tsit stared into Amiya's blue eyes and asked, "Do you really want to bring back a doctor who may have lost his memory and has no combat ability?"

"Amiya, in my opinion, it might be a more appropriate choice to let the doctor continue to receive treatment in that 'home physiological therapy device'." Kal'tsit said as she inspected several elite operators and department heads below.

"What do you think?"

An old man with a thick beard and sunglasses raised his hand with a smile: "I agree with Amiya's idea. As long as the doctor's command ability is still online, it will definitely be a considerable obstacle for Rhodes Island now."

"Well, what ACE said is what I want to say, Doctor Kal'tsit." Amiya nodded to ACE who supported her, and then said to Kal'tsit firmly, "I think Rhodes Island needs the doctor's help now."

Kal'tsit rubbed his brows when he heard this: "In that case, let's rescue the doctor from Chernobog as soon as possible."

The director of Rhode Island's medical department knocked on the table and said, "Amiya, you and Doberman will lead Team E1 and Team E2 to rescue the doctor respectively. ACE, you will lead Team E3 to support them. Let Lin Guang lead Team E4 to confirm the retreat route."

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison and prepared to leave. After all, it would take time for them to gather operators and assign tasks.

Just as Amiya was about to leave the conference room with the books in her arms, Kal'tsit stopped her and said, "Amiya, in addition to leading the E1 team to find the doctor, you should also go to the 404 dormitory on the fourth floor to find someone who will be your escort for this trip."

"Huh? I think Team E1 has already..." The girl was about to say something when she was interrupted by Kal'tsit.

"On the one hand, I let that guy go with you for your safety, and on the other hand, he has not been on field duty except for helping in the kitchen during the year he joined Rhodes Island! And I think this is a waste of his talent."

A quarter of an hour later, Amiya carefully knocked on the door of dormitory 404 with the information about the operator in her hand. "The name is Lin Lei, and the code name is 'Drejie'? What a strange pronunciation. The comprehensive physical examination test is as good as Miss Lin Guang... But why was he assigned to be a logistics operator?"

"Of course it's happier to lie down and get paid." A rough male voice came from the dormitory, and the door was opened, and Amiya finally saw the real person - this was a man with a body comparable to ACE, his face was quite handsome but also sharp, and the stubble that had not been groomed for a while made this man, who should have been relatively young, look particularly vicissitudes of life.

Alas!

This person is totally different from the one in the file! Amiya was shocked. "Are you...are you Dredjie?"

“Lin Lei-Yor, De Ruijie, whatever you want to call Amiya.” Lin Lei touched his chin. “Sorry, I forgot to take care of my beard recently. Wait for me.” He closed the door again, leaving Amiya standing awkwardly at the door.

While waiting, the little rabbit remembered what Kelsey had said to her before:

"I ran into that guy by accident when I was looking for medicinal herbs in the wild. When I first met him, half of his body was gone and I thought he was dead, but he turned out to be alive. Although I couldn't understand what he said, I still took him on board out of my doctor's instinct."

"And within a week this guy was back in action, and passed the test in Rhodes Island. All of his indicators were enough to make him a quasi-elite operator, but for some reason he refused to go out on field missions." Kal'tsit showed a rare expression of 'disappointment' on her face when she said this.

When Linley opened the door again, Amiya’s eyes lit up. He looked much younger than he had just been with his unshaven beard. “Mr. Linley, could you please come with me on an outfield mission?”

“Huh? You want me to go out on a field mission? Are all your field operators dead?” Linley said in disbelief. “The contract I signed with Doctor Kal’tsit was for a logistics operator. I only need to sweep the floor every day and help out in the kitchen when I have time!”

"But your overall quality is assessed so high. Wouldn't it be a shame if you just stay on the ship? Don't you want to..." Amiya decided to use righteousness to influence this unmotivated guy in front of her, but unfortunately she was interrupted before she even started.

This was the third time today that Amiya had been interrupted when she was about to use her mouth. Linley squatted down and looked at her:

"It's not impossible for me to go out on field duty. Just give me double my salary for this month and seven consecutive days of vacation... Doctor Kal'tsit has never agreed to my conditions before. I don't know if you, as the leader of Rhodes Island..."

Linley rubbed his fingers together as he spoke, and his handsome face became even more vulgar and funny.

“I agree!” Amiya stretched out her hand to cover the other person’s mouth. “Please don’t make any more requests, Mr. Linley!”

The man smiled and nodded when he heard it. "As expected of Amiya, she is decisive." He stood up and touched the girl's head. "The mission goal is..."

“Dr. Kal’tsit said to protect me, but I hope that if Mr. Linley is able, he can protect the entire team and the doctor as much as possible.” Amiya’s big sapphire eyes flickered, and her tone was so serious that she didn’t sound like a child at all.

Linley looked at Amiya with a puzzled look on his face. “Doctor? Are you talking about the mission objective of your team this time?”

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay, okay, you're the boss and you have the final say. Just don't forget to approve my leave." The man waved his hand. "So, you mean I have to meet with the people from Team E1 first?"

After seeing Amiya nod very seriously, he reached out and wrote his name on the field mission list handed over by the other party: "Oh, by the way, Amiya forgot to tell you that when you agreed to the conditions just now, I recorded the whole process~ Don't cheat~"

“Mr. Linley!”

002. I, Lin Lei, am a time traveler

“Whether our CEO will approve my leave or not, it’s always good to have some evidence.” Linley hummed a little tune as he walked towards the training ground on the first floor. “Otherwise I’ll go… uh, it seems that Terra doesn’t have a proper government to take care of this kind of thing.”

"If it really doesn't work, I'll just go and play pitiful in front of Amiya. I can cry, make a scene, and even hang myself. I'll do anything as long as I can get paid leave.

"The man said as he stood in front of the airtight cabin leading to the training ground," How can such an ambitious and idealistic little loli fight against a dirty adult like me?"

As you can see, our Mr. Lin Lei-You is a time traveler. Like most of the predecessors who traveled through time, he also has a system, but this system had completely died before he came to this world, otherwise he would not have only half of his body left.

If we hadn’t been lucky enough to meet Kal’tsit who was out practicing medicine, our Lin Lei might have died before he could even start his free life.

It was a clear and crisp autumn evening when Lin Lei was possessed by the system. At that time, he was just a social animal who had just graduated from college. Then he began his journey of time travel. Unlike most systems, Lin Lei's system only appeared when he completed his mission or his body died.

Most of the worlds he traveled through were dominated by war. Whether as a cannon fodder spearman in the Imperial Era or as a ghost agent under Mengsk in StarCraft, he has worked in all kinds of professions.

He even served as a lantern zombie in a hunting duel, and Linley’s mission in that world was to kill six hunters armed with various old-fashioned guns...

After dying countless times, Linley once collapsed and asked the system, “Why did you choose me?” The system’s answer was, “Your soul is inherently much tougher than others, so you can withstand more deaths, which is a necessary condition for becoming a god.”

He believed the system's words and struggled in more worlds. Until he completed the mission in the world of Destiny 2 and was about to leave, the 'winnower' from the upper dimension noticed him.

The system collapsed when it was teleporting Lin Lei, and only half of Lin Lei’s body completed the teleportation, while the remaining half was directly turned into powder by the surging dark energy. After that, as mentioned above, he was lucky enough to meet Kal’tsit.

To be honest, after Lin Lei’s body revived, his first reaction was not why the people here had some animal features, but: “Oh my god, why are all the people here so good-looking?” This was his first time entering such a two-dimensional world. Being surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women really made Lin Lei, who had been hanging out with orcs and zombies for many years, feel uncomfortable.

In the following months, Lin Lei realized that this world was the mobile game Arknights that he once played. Unfortunately, due to years of war and death, Lin Lei's memory of the past had long been blurred. To him, Arknights was just an ICON, a tower defense game with cute beautiful girls.

As for the system that had collapsed when he traveled through time, Linley had no interest in repairing it. In his opinion, this system that dragged him around all day should have exploded with gold coins long ago.

“Now that I’m here, I’ll make the best of it… It would be even better if I could just lie down and get paid.” The dream from the past somehow reappeared in Linley’s mind, and it made him determined to be a parasite on Rhodes Island who only knew how to eat and fish.

“Identification in progress—Codename: Dredger, temporary field operator, welcome to the training ground.” The cold, robotic female voice woke Linley from his past memories and made him reply indifferently, “Can you remove the word ‘temporary’ from now on? It always reminds me of temporary workers.”

At this time, a childish yet familiar voice came from behind Lin Lei: “Remove the word ‘temporary’? Are you planning to become a permanent field operator, Mr. Lin Lei?”

“Amiya? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you go to Dr. Kal’tsit to hand in the form?” Linley turned around and looked at Amiya, who was breathing softly and smiling at him. “And it looks like you ran here? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“I’m just afraid that you’ll just go back in a circle.” Amiya muttered softly. The girl then wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at Lin Lei cautiously: “By the way, Mr. Lin Lei, I’m sorry to ask... Your file doesn’t mention the infection of Originium disease. May I ask...”

“I don’t have Originium disease, but you don’t have to be afraid of having physical contact with me.” Linley squatted down and touched the girl’s hair. “Also, although I want to take a vacation, I won’t just go out for a walk and then come back… I will at least say hello to your team before I go back.”

"So this is the problem!" Amiya grabbed the hand that was playing tricks on her head, and said seriously: "Although Dr. Kal'tsit didn't say it, I still hope that you can make some preparations before the mission, such as shooting or something."

The girl said this because it was obvious that she had discovered a large hand-held cannon on the outside of Linley’s thigh. However, this hand cannon did not look like it was made by Lateran craftsmen in terms of appearance or color. The gun body, which was mainly black, had a grinding wheel-like cylinder, and countless black spikes spread forward along the black and white gradient barrel. Anyone who saw it would think that this was made by a Sarkaz (demon) weapon craftsman to disgust the Lateran people.

After all, in this land called Terra, only the citizens of Lateran can use this weapon called "gun".

As soon as Linley saw Amiya’s expression, he knew that she had misunderstood. The hand cannon in his hand did not come from the Terra continent, but from the last world he traveled through - the world of "Destiny 2". This weapon had a resounding name in that world - "Thorn".

However, Linley was too lazy to clear up this misunderstanding. After all, everyone who saw his weapon would have this misunderstanding—except Kal'tsit.

“Then Mr. Lin Lei, let’s go in now without further delay,” Amiya said softly, and Lin Lei nodded in agreement.

"Well, finish get off work early and go to the cafeteria for dinner. I don't know what kind of dishes the cafeteria will make without my help today~"

“Mr. Linley, please stop joking! Please be serious! This operation, whether successful or not, will affect the lives of the members of the operation team!”

003. Sharpshooter

Faced with Amiya’s serious and earnest attitude, Linley could only nod his head symbolically and apologize to the little rabbit: “I’m sorry, leader. I will definitely correct my words that go against unity! There won’t be a next time.”

Seeing that Linley had apologized so ‘sincerely’, Amiya did not continue to embarrass him, but instead led Linley to have his first meeting with the E1 team who were currently preparing for the training ground.

Compared with the E3 team led by the elite operator ACE and the E4 team led by the "Shining Knight" Lin Guang, the entire E1 team responsible for rescuing the doctor is composed of a large number of medical operators responsible for treatment and nursing, as well as a small number of guard operators.

It seemed that having Lin Lei, who could shoot a pistol, join the team could make up for some of the shortcomings in long-range combat capabilities. Amiya seemed to understand why Kal'tsit wanted to let Mr. Lin Lei, who looked like he didn't want to work, join the team. Lin Lei stretched out his hand and waved to the members of Team E1 who were exercising, while the little rabbit beside him loudly introduced him to the operators of Rhodes Island:

"Everyone come here, this is your new teammate. You can call him Dredger. Um... he should be a sniper operator."

“What do you mean by ‘should’?” Linley immediately patted the thorns hanging on his leg in dissatisfaction. “I am a sniper operator. If there were targets here, I would definitely praise you all!”

When the medical and guard operators saw the hand cannon on his waist, they immediately whispered, "Is that the legendary gun? But I see that this Dredger doesn't have the halo that is unique to Sakota on his head."

"Yes, yes, I'm quite familiar with Andchel from the Action Reserve Team A4. Even his accurate Sakota has not passed Lateran's gun-type weapon operation license agreement!" A guard operator with double horns on his head immediately added.

"Where did you get this gun? I heard that some Sarkaz like to kill angels and take their weapons to show off."

Just as these few extras from Rhodes Island were trying to make Linley look worse, Amiya stepped out to stop their chat: “Everyone, be quiet... Lin... Uh, Dredger, you should speak for yourself.”

I said? What should I say? Can I say that these guys with their faces covered are good at crosstalk? Linley scratched his head. “First of all, it’s my honor to be able to act with you all. Secondly, I have always been a logistics operator. This gun is also a gift from a friend. I actually haven’t fired many shots… I don’t know why Dr. Kal’tsit insisted that I also participate in this operation. Maybe she thought that the doctor might need to eat something good during the recovery period?”

Linley successfully transferred the conflict directly to Kal'tsit who was not present, and even Amiya almost believed that he came here to prepare a healthy meal for the doctor.

Fortunately, she remembered Kal'tsit's previous evaluation of Linley - a quasi-elite operator, which means that his combat ability and battlefield analysis ability are both top-notch, and the only thing he lacks is experience.

But this was fine. The little rabbit also found a way to allow Linley to complete a round of training here in peace: “But Mr. Dredge... even if you are in charge of catering, you still need to have a good body. Moreover, this operation is very important.”

The girl stood in front of Lin Lei, who was about to say goodbye to his teammates and return to his dormitory, and smiled sweetly at him: “And there is a shooting range in the training ground~”

If she wasn't my immediate superior, I would definitely be conquered by such a smile! But now there is no way I can stay with such a smile... "Okay... One round then?" Lin Lei bent over and gestured to Amiya with a '1'.

The girl nodded happily. "Besides, since this training ground is temporarily occupied by our E1 action team, there is no one at the shooting range right now, so you don't have to worry about someone discovering some of your secrets."

Linley just shook his head. He pulled out the thorn, spun it in his hand, and put it back into the sleeve. “It’s not a secret. It’s just a round of target shooting. But Amiya… we agreed to only shoot one round. So I’ll go eat after I’m done, okay?”

“Of course, I’ll take you there!” The girl said as she grabbed Linley’s left hand and hopped towards the shooting range. The members of the action team who were still preparing in the training ground did not notice their whereabouts.

Compared with the spacious and well-equipped training ground outside, the shooting range is much smaller - a square steel space, with the target area and the shooting area separated by a low concrete wall.

After Amiya led Lin Lei in, she walked to a corner and said, “Mr. Lin Lei… Please wait for a moment. There are some new gadgets made by the engineering department in this shooting range that you can test.”

Linley could only sigh: “So you still want to see what level I am at, right?”

"After all, Dr. Kelsey once taught me... seeing is believing, so... hehe..." Amiya stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "There are a total of 17 moving targets here, but because the engineering department is testing new materials, their torsos may be much harder. Do you think this is okay... If not, I'll change a batch of targets for you."

"It's not necessary, and I haven't done it for a while... I need to get back into shape."

Linley scratched his head and picked his nose before slowly standing in front of the shooting window. For him, shooting at moving targets was not a difficult task - after all, the witches of the Demon Clan, the hunters of the Demon Clan, and the war beasts of Kabar that he had encountered before all loved to run around and were extremely tough.

“Although my speed and accuracy in drawing my spear are not as good as those of Malfoy… but it’s still not a problem here.” Linley whispered softly, while Amiya was confused - after all, she had never heard of the name of the Man with the Golden Gun.

Then Linley drew his gun. The little rabbit didn’t even see how he removed the thorn from his leg before he heard the gunshot.

After nine shots, seventeen targets fell to the ground in unison! “Well, it looks like your skills haven’t deteriorated too much.” Linley pulled out the thorns’ magazine with satisfaction and used the light energy in his body to refill the bullets and put them into the gun again. “Amiya, how about I go?”

The girl was still in shock: "Ah, okay....how did you do that?"

“How did you do that? All you need is one bullet to go through two people’s heads at the same time.” Linley waved his hand. “With more practice you will surely be able to do it too~”

"Can I... too?"

004. The current situation of Chernobyl

“No, Mr. Lin Lei, are you done now?” Amiya came to her senses and hurriedly called out to Lin Lei, who had one foot already outside the door.

Linley turned around with a confused look on his face. “What else? Leader, you promised me that I could leave after I finished a round.” He pulled out a black recorder from his coat pocket. “Or do you want to listen to what you just said?”

"Why did you record even this?" Amiya's eyes widened. Although she was already the CEO of Rhodes Island, she was still a minor and had never seen such a method.

“Isn’t it because I’m afraid that an ambitious and idealistic leader like you might break his promise?” Lin Lei smiled and put the recorder back into his pocket. The coat he was wearing was modified from the Rhodes Island uniform. This uniform, which was mainly black with blue and orange as embellishments, was very consistent with his aesthetic taste. The most important thing was that this uniform had a lot of pockets, which allowed Lin Lei to stuff all kinds of food and small toys into his pockets.

In response, Amiya could only puff up her cheeks and say angrily, “I always feel like you’re scheming against me, Mr. Linley. I can let you leave now, but you have to treat me to dinner!”

Linley waved his hands quickly. “No way, no way~ But I can still treat you to dinner. How about the cafeteria?”

“Let’s go to the cafeteria… By the way, I have a lot of questions for you, Mr. Linley.” Amiya nodded: “If there is anything you want to know, you can ask me… As long as I can answer it.”
