A Bridge Meeting / Life Is All About Eating, Drinking, and Sleeping

No, he's still on the ship.

We've planned a competition— Round Stool Sliding Race —but finding a venue is difficult, so we asked Logos for help in finding one!

ACE touched his chin as he answered.

"Round Stool Sliding Race?" Suika's eyes widened. This legendary Rhodes Island competition had only appeared a few times before being discontinued due to the heavy losses of Elite Operator in the Battle of Chernobog.

"It's unlikely in the near future, since opportunities to gather Elite Operator together are quite rare."

Scout seems to be going on a field trip tomorrow, so it'll probably only be done next time when we're both around!

ACE said with a smile.

Scout, standing beside him, nodded silently.

"So you're going on a field assignment tomorrow, and you're still this drunk today?" Warfarin stared wide-eyed at Scout.

"Cough cough, I didn't want to either, I only planned to drink a little... but I didn't expect that drinking a little of everything would be so energizing..."

Scout blushed, feeling embarrassed that he had been so easily outdone.

"A little bit of everything?" Warfarin astutely grasped the key point.

"Oh, not much, just some baijiu, red wine, beer, fruit wine, rice wine, and all sorts of other things, just a sip or two of each..."

I was hoping everyone could try a variety of different drinks, but I didn't expect that after only half a drink, these guys would already be lying on the floor."

Suika explained with an innocent look on her face.

After hearing what Suika said Warfarin exclaimed, "Wow..."

Chapter 185 Bridge Seminar

"Thank you on their behalf!"

"Thank you for showing mercy and sparing these idiots' lives."

Warfarin had just made a couple of sarcastic remarks when she saw Suika's gaze sweep over her and immediately shut her mouth.

After all, he's now the husky in a wolf pack.

He was surrounded by unfortunate souls who had been hanged because of their "betrayal."

If the fact that I am an "insider" is exposed...

She certainly didn't want to become the target of my "I have an idea" project.

"So you guys were at the bar today talking about that Round Stool Sliding Race?" Closure seemed a tiny bit interested in the race.

"That's right, but we had basically finished talking before Suika arrived. After she came, she kept pouring all sorts of different drinks, so we didn't have a chance to chat..."

ACE replied.

"Do you need to modify the round stools?"

I can make custom orders at cost price. You can rest assured about my craftsmanship; there won't be any problems.

Suika couldn't help but sigh, "A shrewd businessman is a shrewd businessman indeed; he can even find a way to make money."

Moreover, it appears that several operators are interested.

After all, as Rhodes Island's chief engineer, Closure's skill level is definitely not an issue. With her help, I can better realize my modification plan for the round stool.

"Sigh, isn't this cheating?" Thinking of the small amount of money she had been ripped off by a dishonest merchant, Suika couldn't help but deliberately act awkward.

"You can't say that. It's called making good use of resources. After all, friends, connections, and money are all resources, not..."

How can modifying a round stool using one's own resources be considered cheating?

Of course, I have a lot of work to do and limited time, so I can only take five orders per month. And as a way to wish you success in the competition, I'll give you a 10% discount on the first five orders in the first month. First come, first served, so don't miss out!

Seeing that everyone hesitated after Suika finished speaking, Closure became anxious. How could she just watch such a good opportunity to make money slip away?

She immediately launched a double promotion: a limited-time offer and a discount.

Suika was dumbfounded.

With that kind of business acumen, it's a waste of his talent to be at Rhodes Island.

Whether it was because they couldn't sleep after sobering up, the group chatted about all sorts of things from nightfall until dawn.

Early in the morning, before the sun had even risen, these men were already staring at the direction of the entrance and exit.

The reason is that they gamble on whether the first person they identify is male or female, whether they are a field worker or an office worker, and some even guess by name.

The stakes were just a lunch or doing laundry, or something like that.

When Logos walked out of the main gate carrying a bowl of porridge, half of the people hanging on it cheered.

They won lunch because they guessed that the first person to come out would be a man.

Those who guessed it was a woman were met with disdainful looks, implying that it was all their fault, otherwise they would have won.

The reason is that less than five seconds after the logo appeared, a second person came out, and the only thing Suika could recognize from her appearance was that she was a woman.

As for his identity, she thought back and realized that none of the operators she knew resembled him.

However, there are many unfamiliar people on Rhodes Island, some of whom may be names that have appeared in Rhodes Island's lore, and others may be nameless strangers.

After all, Rhodes Island is such a large entity that it's impossible to completely control it using only the operators who have appeared so far.

More often than not, they are just passersby who flash by in the camera's view.

But that doesn't mean these passersby aren't important.

On the contrary, just like now, if Logos hadn't come out first, a different group of people would have won this lunch.

Of course, Suika's reason for thinking this way was definitely not because she herself had also voted for women but was outmaneuvered by Logos.

Absolutely not!

"Hey you, what brings you up to the deck so early in the morning?"

Suika glared at Logos without any politeness, and seeing the smug expression on his otherwise indifferent face, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

We're all men, so we naturally understand why he came all this way so early in the morning. He's just a guy who came to kick his brothers when they're down because they saw them suffering.

Since you are so ruthless, Suika declares that I will be ruthless in return.

Just as Logos walked in, she took out the Ibuki Gourd under Logos's horrified gaze and waved it maliciously.

"My buddy didn't come last night, so why did he come all the way to the deck this morning? Did he come specifically to drink the wine he didn't get to drink last night?"

Ten minutes later, Logos put down his bowl, ran wildly to the edge of the deck, and then "Ugh~~~"

Seeing this, Suika raised an eyebrow; this guy hadn't been drunk.

Although he had held back, he was easily overpowered last time, but this time he was able to run to the side and induce vomiting.

Ten minutes later, Logos cautiously approached.

"If you're so capable, then don't use that thing!"

"You still want to drink? Dream on! You've already vomited up all this good wine, I won't let a wasteful guy like you have another sip!"

Suika rolled her eyes at him.

"Tell me, you didn't just come here to laugh at us, did you?" ACE, one of the previous losers, also looked at Logos with some hostility.

"Ahem, of course not..." Logos knew perfectly well that it was one thing for these old buddies to tease him once or twice, but with so many of them, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Once they came down, they would definitely find ways to sabotage him.

"I'm here to deliver a message from Kal'tsit— "

Ahem, if you all remember what happened last night and promise not to drink excessively in the future, then you can come down.

And Dr. Warfarin, you have a morning to rest. I hope you won't be late for the surgery this afternoon.

Logos mimicked Kal'tsit's tone.

"What about me? What about me!" Closure. Why wouldn't Kal'tsit let her go?

It's summer, and if everyone else goes downstairs and you stay here, you'll really turn into a dried-up bat.

The logos shrugged.

"I'm very sorry, those were Kal'tsit's exact words. She didn't mention your name, Chief Engineer."

"NO~~~~, how could Kal'tsit do this to me... I've shed sweat for Rhodes Island, I've risked my life for Rhodes Island, I want to see Amiya, I want to see Amiya!"

Closure thrashed about in the air, like a salted fish that had been out of water.

After fidgeting around for a while, she realized something was wrong, because there was one person Kal'tsit hadn't mentioned in her words, but that person had already left.

She immediately pointed to Suika

"Suika, Kal'tsit didn't tell you to go down... You're breaking the rules."

Suika blinked

"But Kal'tsit didn't punish me by making me go up there. I volunteered to hang there with everyone for the night..."

Chapter 186 Life is just eating, drinking, and sleeping

Suika finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

She tilted her head, indicating that there was nothing surprising about such a thing.

So you weren't punished?

"Ignorance is no excuse... I only passed the initial test, but I left because of the mine issue during the skills assessment."

I haven't studied Rhodes Island's operator code of conduct, so why is Kal'tsit punishing me?

I just felt Taihe since everyone else had been punished while I was still fine, so I asked Kal'tsit for permission to come and keep you company.

Unlike some people, who not only didn't come to keep everyone company, but also specially brought a bowl of hot porridge...

Suika glanced at the logos; the meaning was quite clear.

Upon hearing her words, ACE surrounded Logos with expressions of agreement.

"Hey, hey, I came all morning to let you off, you can't be so heartless..."

Before Logos could finish speaking, a group of people lifted him up in the pose of the Six Immortals of Six Immortals of Peach Valley.

"Come on, come on, you're all skin and bones, no muscles at all. How can you handle the high-intensity work of Elite Operator..."

Guys, let me show you how a real man should build his muscles...

A group of men, with faces even more resolute than JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, carried Logos into the passageway.

"Sayonara!" Looking at the logo of the burly man, Suika took out a small handkerchief from her pocket, waved it at him, and then wiped away imaginary tears from her eyes to express her remembrance.

"Suika, my dear Little Suika, my lovely Little Suika..." Closure was still hanging not far away, called out to Suika, who was still standing in the same spot.

What are you doing?

"Could you please ask Amiya for me? It's summer, and the Bloodfiend will die from being in the sun all morning..."

Seeing how pitiful she was, Suika said...

"Okay, I'll go look for it for you, but I don't know the way very well, so if I don't find it..."

"Just do your best, just do your best..."

Closure pitifully.

However, she was lucky; Suika had just reached the entrance of the passage when she saw Amiya, dressed in sportswear, coming towards her.

Amiya! I was just looking for you!

"Miss Suika, is there anything I can help you with?" Amiya stopped and looked at Suika, who was walking towards her.

Those twitching ears were so amusing that Suika felt an urge to pluck them.

"It's like this..."

Suika told her about Closure hanging outside.

Amiya burst out laughing after hearing that.

"No problem. Although Dr. Kal'tsit may punish everyone this way when she's angry, she won't let the operators stand there exposed to the sun in the summer, which would harm their health."

Let's go, let's put her down."

Seeing that Suika had brought Amiya, Closure into tears of joy.
