"Ah, today's practice is so tiring."

Jingjian Guangguo rubbed his shoulders, exuding an exhausted breath, sat on the stool and looked up to the sky and sighed.

"I would have gone to the Ministry of Transportation if I had known. It's really not easy to be an investigator."

"Then you can submit the application. Do you want me to help you make connections?"

Lu Yu walked over with a cup of Coke and coffee in his hand and handed over the iced Happy Water.

"Oh, thank you."

Guangguo took the happy water, took a big sip, and then let out a long moan.

"Ah~ As expected, iced Coke is still so good! Especially after such a hard training. It's no less than coffee milk after soaking in a hot spring! Oh, by the way, Lu Yu, how about we go to the hot spring together next time?"

"It would be wonderful to soak in a comfortable hot spring under the starry night sky, sip wine under the blooming and falling cherry blossom petals, and meet the beauties who come to travel! It's so wonderful just thinking about it.

So excited!”

Lu Yu selectively ignored the roommates around him who were already having wild thoughts. He leaned back in his chair and sipped the same iced coffee, feeling the bitter taste coming from his tongue. He was immediately relieved from the fatigue of training and felt much more energetic.

Looking at the sunny blue sky, Lu Yu also sighed.

"Spring...is here."

Nearly two months have passed since he joined tpc. Two months have melted the cold ice and snow, brought spring, and beautiful cherry blossoms are blooming everywhere.

However, in this spring season when the cherry blossoms are flying, I wonder if the aliens and monsters are just like Guangguo, just having fun in these days that make people unable to lift their spirits.

Anyway, he hasn't encountered a single monster in the past two months.

If the final big boss, Gatanjie, wasn't still sleeping under the super-ancient ruins of Luluye, he would have thought that all the events in the plot were over.

However, although there were no monsters to fight, he spent every day to the fullest during these days.

Learn how to drive vehicles such as the Feiyan and Dolphin, practice the operation of various instruments, and perform various physical training.

It’s like I’m dreaming back to the days in high school where every day was more like 007 than 996. It was fulfilling and busy.

Fortunately, his grades are good.

The two of them drank drinks and chatted without saying a word. When the glasses in their hands were empty, they were almost resting.

Shizama Guangguo stood up, stretched comfortably, and then yawned.

"Ha~ I'm a little sleepy, Lu Yu. I'm going to go back and take a shower and go to bed. Please bring me some dinner. I want to eat curry."

Without waiting for Lu Yu to respond, Jingjian Guangguo left with a slightly heavy step.

Lu Yu, who had become accustomed to it after two months of being together, could only glance helplessly at the empty cup beside him and stood up as well.

"At least throw away the garbage."

Oh, I really want to fight monsters.

In the command room of the Victory Team, all the Victory team members were slumped in their seats, bored, and some of them had even fallen asleep, snoring loudly while having sweet dreams.

Unlike Lu Yu, who had a heavy training mission, Da Gu and his team could only stay on standby in the command room during the past two months in addition to their daily routine.

The only outbound mission was a spacecraft one and a half months ago, but because no trace of it could be found, it had to be abandoned.

Just when everyone was complaining that it was too boring, Captain Intermediate and Director Sawai looked at the idle victory team members and assigned the task of repairing the military equipment.

So, a group of team members dug out various equipment, and for a while, parts and wires were everywhere in the command room.

Lu Yu handed the screwdriver to Dagu and said speechlessly.

"Why do I need to fix it too?"

I was obviously wandering around the base, and then I met a certain director and a certain captain who were walking together.

Under the guise that he was a reserve member and a member of the victory team, Director Sawai very kindly abducted him to work as a coolie.

So there was a scene where Lu Yu, wearing ordinary work uniform, was among the victory players.

He very much suspected that this was Sakai's conspiracy.

"Haaah. Lu Yu, please stop complaining."

Dagu next to me was laughing haha.

Although Lu Yu does not participate in the official tasks of the Victory Team, the Victory Team will not ignore such a reserve member. Everyone has interacted with each other more or less, and they have become familiar with each other after going back and forth.

Among them, Da Gu, who knows the secret of the other party, is the most familiar one.

After a lot of intensive renovations, all the instruments were finally inspected. A group of people sat in front of the command round table and waited for the captain's next mission. However, what they waited for was the order to appreciate the flowers.

"Flower viewing?!"

Dagu suddenly stood up, with surprise and expectation written all over his face like a primary school student who knew that the school was going to have a spring outing.

"You still have to relax sometimes."

After getting confirmation from Captain Hui Jian, all the men and women discussed the matter of flower viewing enthusiastically.

However, the commander Zongfang's words made the entire command room quiet for a while.

"But if we all go, won't there be no one at the command post?"

"right."

Captain Hui Jianjian glanced at his old partner with admiration, nodded, and then said with a hint of humor.

"So we use card drawing, and the player who draws the joker will unfortunately need to be on standby in the command room."

"It's better that I stay."

Ye Rui, the resident NPC member of the Victory Team command room, said this.

"After all, there are still some files and information that need to be sorted out."

"Ah, me too, I have to help my roommate bring food."

Lu Yu, who was not a local, also spoke in the same way.

"Ye Rui, you don't have to do the work of sorting out the information. And Lu Yu, you can also ask others to bring food. Please excuse the person who stayed behind. After all, you are also a member of our team.

, I want to participate in group activities.”

"Uh...okay."

So, Lu Yu and Ye Rui reluctantly approached the conference table.

After a while of shuffling the cards and drawing them, all the team members who had received the cards slowly looked at their own cards with apprehension.

Some people were surprised and excited, and some people were falsely alarmed.

Lu Yu held his own card and looked at the red "joker" on it with a complicated expression.

Although he was relieved that he didn't have to participate in team building, the luck of winning the big ghost in this draw made him not sure whether he belonged to the European Emperor or the Non-Chief.

"Hey, Lu Yu, what did you win?"

Next to him, Horii held out his three of spades and happily stretched his head over.

"Wow! joker! It's still a big ghost, Lu Yu, you are so lucky."

Everyone who heard this turned their attention to the card in Lu Yu's hand.

"Liar, I got the first one."

"So this is the decision for those who stay?"

"So fast!"

Each victorious team member was immersed in the relief of finally not having to draw cards and the subsequent joy of being able to enjoy the flowers.

But he couldn't show too much joy in front of Lu Yu who was so distracted that he couldn't go to the team building.

then.

"Lu Yu, um, I'll trouble you later, pff...cough, um!"

Looking at Xincheng's suffocating expression that looked half-smiling but not smiling, Lu Yu thought it would be better for him not to say anything.

"Okay, then collect all the cards and let's go...!"

"Um, please wait a moment!"

Horii said happily, but was interrupted by Dagu.

Everyone turned their doubtful eyes to Da Gu, who was hesitant and speechless.

I saw Dagu holding his card and slowly turning it over.

A little ghost card with the word "joker" printed in black appeared in front of everyone.
Chapter completed!
