Book 4: Chapter 27: Mischievous Heng

That’s indeed why I plan to add you to the group a few hours before you return. You can even check the chat history and prepare yourself. At least you won’t end up having your corpse split between those two friends of yours as soon as you get back.

“Saying that is too much, right?”

I have taken a look at the Re:Life Chat Group. I’m not sure about Mo Qingtong, but it is very possible for Luo Li. I have to say, you are quite a prize to catch.

“...Are your actions appropriate?”

What is inappropriate about it? Being the customer service is very boring. Having something to do is great. Furthermore, you are someone who got involved with the Re:Life Chat Group, the Dimension Administrators Association, and systems. How interesting!

“Ah! This...as long as you are happy.”

He Who Knows Fate: I’m back.

Efreet: What did Customer Service say?

He Who Knows Fate: Customer Service said that if I joined the Re:Life Chat Group, the flow of time in Terra and my original world would become the same. So, I will spend some time here before joining.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: As long as you are happy.

He Who Knows Fate: I’ve already learned a bit about Arknights. However, I did not progress much in the main storyline yesterday afternoon. I’ll do my best to finish Episode 7 before tomorrow.

Efreet: It should not be difficult, what with the freebies from purchasing the game with 1 point. At the very least, leveling the characters should not be a problem.

He Who Knows Fate: However, my tactical acumen is Flawed. I can only progress in the main story by looking at the player forums. Of course, that’s not for the entire main story, just some of the more difficult ones.

Faillen Angel Gabriel: All the best!

He Who Knows Fate: Speaking of the storyline, I feel angry. Tomorrow, I have to engage in a Sniper battle with Faust. I don’t believe he can finish off my Defender with one shot. I will fire at him at 50 percent output. If he survives that, I will no longer seek trouble with him.

[TL Note: Faust is an antagonist NPC from Reunion in Arknights. Here is more information on Faust: /wiki/Faust.]

Umaru-chan: Quick question: How much destruction would 50 percent output cause?

He Who Knows Fate: Let me put it this way. I think if I fire at full output, I can shoot down the satellites in the sky—assuming Terra has satellites, of course.

“He Who Knows Fate, staying up late is not a good habit. You must have slept very late last night, right?” Shining’s occupational habit kicked in; she immediately nagged Chen Heng not to stay up late.

“I did not. I just like sleeping. I’m a well-behaved child who sleeps and wakes up early. Oh, right, Nightingale, have you eaten the special medicine I gave you?”

“I ate it.”

“Good. Come and get one more from me tomorrow. Although this medicine is very gentle, you cannot take too many in a day if your physique is weak. Taking one tomorrow should more or less heal you. How do you feel now?”

“I feel good. My body is much more relaxed. I’ll try moving my legs after getting off.”

“Alright. He Who Knows Fate, go down first. Amiya is already waving to us.”

“Alright, Ace.”

Rhodes Island’s group ate military rations for dinner, as they did not want to start a fire. After all, they had stopped at a spacious area, a desolate spot near Chernobog. If they lit a fire or produced light, they could easily attract the attention of Chernobog’s sentinels. The group preferred to avoid trouble.

After eating, Amiya and Dobermann came over to discuss the next day’s operation. Of course, it was Amiya and Dobermann speaking while Chen Heng listened.

If Chen Heng had to give ideas, it would be just “attack, snatch Doctor away, and run.” Of course, Dobermann and Amiya were smart and would not agree to such a simple plan.

“...So, that’s the plan. He Who Knows Fate, do you understand?”

“I don’t completely understand, but I don’t need to. I’m just responsible for offensive support. Our group has very few people. As long as we don’t split up, I’m confident of protecting everyone.”

“...That is not wrong. Alright, we’ll go with this, then.”

Initially, Chen Heng wanted to chat in the chat group. Unexpectedly, Shining sought him out.

“He Who Knows Fate, do you have any secret medicine for treating amnesia?”

“Erm...I say, Shining, are you misunderstanding something about me? I’m not a god; I can’t possibly have every medicine in the world. This medicine is for Nightingale?”

“Yes. However, now that I think about it, not having those memories might be good. After all, those are not good memories.” Although Shining failed to obtain medicine to treat amnesia from Chen Heng, she felt it might be a good thing on second thought.

“I didn’t say I don’t have it. I only said I don’t have every medicine in the world.”
