"No, what does this mean?"
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Welcome Back
In the rest room of the sand table, Kirin Yato and Silent Texas stood beside Li Ji.
The two were of the same height, and they just happened to block the light source shining from the virtual light at the same time, casting a shadow on Li Ji's face.
Li Ji had no idea what the two of them were up to. Surely they weren't planning to add Li Ji to the mix and create a Rapid Raptor-Revolutionary Falcon with three six-star characters, right?
If you want to play the Rapid Fire Raptor.
It would be better to let the original two-star Nightblade be stacked with another two-star unit and play with Thunder Spirit.
Do you like my giant jet stream and pancake frog?
However, just as Li Ji was recalling the painful Heavenly Ladder during the reign of Lei Jing, Qilin Yadao finally spoke.
"Doctor, would you like to explain the current situation? I heard Operator Melantha mention dreaming about you before, but now it seems that it's not her problem... or rather, it's not a problem we both have."
After saying this, Kirin Yato looked at the silent Texas beside him, as if to say that if it was just a dream, then he shouldn't be able to dream of Texas.
"I am also very curious."
Texas tilted her head slightly and exchanged a glance with Kirin Yato, then spoke to Li Ji from behind Yato.
"The previous Reunion soldiers could be understood as remnants, but what about Patriot this time? Wasn't he already dead in Chernobog?"
"And why, Doctor... are you livestreaming?"
Li Ji was taken aback after hearing these words.
In particular, Kirin Yato mentioned Melantha, which reminded Li Ji of Melantha's smile when she left at the very beginning.
He sensed something was wrong then, but without other evidence, Li Ji couldn't make any wild guesses.
But now we should be able to fully confirm the identities of these summoned operators.
These should all be real data, not AI data.
At this moment, Li Ji's brain was working frantically, trying to figure out how to explain the current situation to the two of them.
"It's difficult for me to explain the current situation to you in a short time, because I've just arrived here myself and there are many things I haven't figured out yet." Li Ji thought for a long time before finally waving his hand and saying.
“When I saw these enemies, I was also very surprised, but I can’t be sure if they were affected by something else. You should have experienced this in the battle as well.”
Li Ji still had many uncertainties, so he decided to answer their questions in the safest and most serious way first.
He first explained his situation, and then shared the information he could share with Kirin Yato and Texas, which also helped to shift the topic of conversation.
"Indeed, compared to the living people of the past, their current behavior and body language... always remind me of those collapsed bodies influenced by evil spirits when I went to Sami with the Doctor."
Kirin Yato nodded slightly, and Texas, standing beside him, also lowered her head slightly, comparing the differences between the enemies in these two battles and those in the past.
"Has this world also been invaded by demons?"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two quickly shook their heads, "But their movements don't quite resemble those of a collapsing body..."
Collapsed bodies are actually quite representative of this type of thing.
First, their bodies and the surfaces of their attachments will be relatively flat, and exposed mechanical optical components will no longer reflect visible light.
Furthermore, although the enemy's movements were as uncoordinated as those of the collapsing body, it did not exhibit any constant unnatural shaking or twitching.
And most importantly, an enemy like the Patriots should have unnatural black fog, but we haven't seen anything like it in this operation.
This is very strange.
"So, I'm new here myself, and there are still many things I haven't figured out yet. But... I've found a way to bring you all here to fight, given the current situation, it's just a bit expensive. As for the live stream..."
Li Ji gave a bitter laugh and explained the whole story, but he deliberately omitted the part about the system and instead told the story of the summoning chain in another way.
Especially when the two heard that the price to summon them was an astonishing 20 million Lungmen Dollars per year.
Even Texas's perpetually unchanging poker face could be sensed by Li Ji in subtle detail.
"I... I'll leave it at that for now. Texas, what was your personnel contract salary originally?"
Kirin Yato asked Texas, who was standing to the side.
"It should be 180,000, right? (This is the price of a 6-star Elite 2 operator.) My salary is paid directly by Rhodes Island to Penguin Logistics. This is all the salary the Emperor gave me."
Texas looked at Yato and answered decisively without hesitation.
Traditional companies may be unable to discuss salaries and benefits in public for various reasons.
However, Rhodes Island does not have this restriction. After all, a large part of the people who come together are not there for money or benefits; these external things are only to ensure everyone's survival and basic needs.
If you want a higher salary, you can certainly apply for it yourself, but whether it will be approved depends on whether someone agrees to it.
The two exchanged a glance, looked at Li Ji, and simultaneously asked each other in low voices:
"Dr. Wanfeng, have you been hooked up with a rich guy?"
Neither of them expected it to be so expensive. That means the Doctor has already spent 40 million LMD on them.
Rhodes Island can afford to spend that much money, but the problem is that the Doctor is the only person in this world!
No wonder the professor is trying to make money by livestreaming...
He really is.
They both cried their eyes out.
Especially Kirin Yato, I wanted to say something, but when I thought about how the Doctor had gone to such lengths to summon her so early, I almost couldn't hold back my tears.
"As expected, I am still very important to the doctor."
Texas, standing to the side, remained silent, seemingly lost in thought as well.
However... it seems that neither of them knew that summoning like this actually didn't cost any money.
But Li Ji was so engrossed in telling the story that he didn't notice the changes in the two of them.
Just as Li Ji finished speaking, Kirin Yato glanced at Li Ji and the silent Texas.
She chuckled softly, then stretched out her arms and hugged Li Ji.
Wanfeng paused for a moment, then understood what she meant.
He bent down slightly and gently hugged the Kirin Night Blade.
At that moment, a strange sense of peace welled up in Li Ji's heart.
Yato gently patted Li Ji on the back:
"Well, anyway, it's good that Dr. Wanfeng is back. Texas and I will not let the doctor down."
Soon, Yato and Li Ji parted ways. She stepped back gently, waved goodbye to Li Ji and Texas, and said, "Now that things are clear, I'll be going now. I also need to tell the Rhodes Island operators about this."
As he spoke, Yato transformed into a ball of sparks and vanished from the lounge.
Li Ji intended to leave, but he found Texas still standing there alone, her lonely shadow stretched endlessly by the lamplight.
Seeing the somewhat awkward expression on Texas's face, Li Ji chuckled.
He walked slowly forward and hugged Texas, who was standing still.
"Welcome back."

Ps:
A sudden whim.
I really want to write about Exusiai fighting monsters with Ella and Dorothy, watching the changes in the monsters' health bars on both sides, and crying as they fight.
It is absolutely not my intention to persecute Ah Neng (this is completely untrue).
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Settlement
After watching Texas disappear into the lounge, Li Ji also shut down the war game.
