If it were anyone else, Swire might have been a little embarrassed, but Chen and Hoshiguma knew her too well.
The little tiger proudly puffed out her chest, "Being rich is amazing, you lousy dragon!"
"Do you want to fight, char siu cat!" Chen, already annoyed, rolled up her sleeves, ready to spar with Swire and see whose fist was bigger.
"Who's afraid of who, intestines dragon? Do you think I'm easily scared?" Swire directly gave Chen the middle finger, looking completely unfazed by her threat.
Hoshiguma rubbed her ears. Ever since she arrived on Rhodes Island yesterday and met Chen, the two of them hadn't stopped arguing. Even passersby, whether male or female, could make them start arguing.
She understood that this was these two's way of expressing friendship, but—it was too noisy!!!!
"Go out, turn right, go upstairs, second training room on the left has a dedicated fighting arena!" Seeing the two of them almost bumping heads, Kanna, not one to shy away from trouble, immediately offered them a bad idea.
"Alright! Kanna-chan understands me! Char siu cat, if you've got the guts, let's go have a match!" Hearing there was a professional fighting arena, Chen also got excited. She had been on Rhodes Island for over a month, and the most she did was her daily routine exercises. She felt like her body was getting rusty.
"Let's go, let's go! Watch me beat you into a pig's head…" As she spoke, Swire also followed Chen out.
Hoshiguma apologized to Kanna and Nian with an apologetic look, "Sorry! Those two are a bit loud, but there's no ill will. I'll go ahead first, you two chat away!"
"I didn't expect to see a Princess of Yan on Rhodes Island," Nian said, looking in the direction Chen and her companions had left.
"If you're talking about bloodline, Chen does indeed have Yan imperial blood. But, as far as I know, she shouldn't be very closely related to the current imperial family," Compared to others, Kanna seemed somewhat uninhibited in front of Nian.
After speaking, Kanna suddenly noticed the tag hanging on Nian's chest. It was an ID tag, or rather, a work permit, only given to those who became official Rhodes Island Operators.
"Oh, you got your Operator status so quickly? How were the test results?" Kanna herself had gone through quite a bit of 'testing' when she first came to Rhodes Island.
"Oh, I just talked to Kal'tsit, and she directly told HR to make me one. Tests? I didn't do those. After all, for people like us, ordinary tests are completely meaningless…" Nian waved her hand, then leaned against the railing and yawned lazily.
Leaning on the railing, watching Kanna scoop up a handful of water from a nearby pool and throw it into her mouth, Nian remembered what Kanna had told her earlier and asked, "Speaking of which, how is your little squad coming along? I saw those few from Lungmen just now, their skills are quite good. Haven't you considered them? By the way, aren't you afraid of getting a stomach ache drinking raw water like that?"
"All the running water on Rhodes Island is directly potable, and it tastes quite good. As for the squad, it's you, me, plus two specialists with not much combat power, a caster who might go out of control, a half-baked support who's a bit mentally unstable, two medics who aren't sure if they'll come… At least one more sniper Operator for support is needed." Kanna had been planning her team for a long time.
"Hey, hey, hey! That sounds really unreliable…" Listening to Kanna's introduction, Nian couldn't help but tap the railing. After all, based on the remaining people she described, it looked more like babysitting than forming a squad.
"As for a sniper Operator, I'll keep looking. If worst comes to worst, I'll just kidnap Justice Knight and bring her into the team…" Kanna wasn't swayed by Nian's tone. If she couldn't find a suitable sniper Operator, her only option was to kidnap a sniper drone to make do for now… "Justice Knight? Is that the thing pasted on the wall?" Nian pointed to the wall behind Kanna, where many 'Best of Rhodes Island' were posted. Among them, under the title of 'Most Handsome Mechanical Drone,' was a portrait of Justice Knight, with comments from a group of bored individuals below. Yes, Kanna was referring to the Rhodes Island Elite Manly Men's Group, led by Logos.
Kanna also saw herself there, and as expected, her mugshot was pasted under the 'Rhodes Island's Strongest Eater' section. Below it, she even saw Little Knives's comment: 'Next time, I must snatch that title!'
Kanna sighed. Who the heck took her mugshot? And even if it was a mugshot, at least make it in color! Why put up a black and white one there!!!!
If she could find the person responsible, she wouldn't mind giving them a full course of Professor Yang's Kiss.
"No need to rush. After all, the team is still in the planning stages and might change. I'll ask Amiya later; she knows the most about Rhodes Island's personnel. Perhaps she can give some reasonable suggestions."
Kanna felt that she could handle the team's reconnaissance tasks, but she still needed a sniper for long-range'support,' preferably someone reliable.
"Never mind that for now. There's a restaurant on Rhodes Island that makes very authentic Shangshu cuisine. Want to give it a try?" Feeling that the team was hard to assemble, Kanna decided to fill her stomach first, then go ask Amiya.
"Authentic? Don't lie to me. If I eat anything weird like braised strawberries or chili-fried tomatoes, I'll throw a fit…" The kitchens on Rhodes Island didn't prohibit those who loved cooking from entering. And if one's skills were good enough, they might even earn an extra salary in their spare time.
Of course, this also gave many eccentric individuals with wild imaginations a space to unleash their creativity.
Because Lungmen's support for Rhodes Island was substantial this time, as long as it wasn't too wasteful (if no one ate the food they made, they had to finish it themselves), the kitchen wouldn't prohibit 'chefs' from making whatever they wanted.
Of course, everyone was also self-aware enough not to waste ingredients, so the chance of strange dishes appearing was very low. However, it seemed Nian's luck wasn't so good; from her ugly expression, Kanna could imagine what kind of devilish dish she had eaten.
"Though I don't want to say it, that dish sounds interesting… By the way, for chili-fried tomatoes, is it sour-spicy or sweet-spicy?" Kanna thought that if it were her, she would never choose such a strange-sounding dish. If she did, she'd just gulp it down in one go. As long as she couldn't taste it, no matter how strange the taste, it couldn't defeat her… "Ugh, don't even mention it… That guy even put salt in it. It was truly indescribable when I ate it." Recalling the mine she stepped on, Nian's little face was almost crumpled up.
