I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Page 70

Not sure, let's see, if it's true...

Yun Yi's eyes lit up; maybe he could exchange it for the right to pet the tiger's ears!

She did not voice these thoughts that had wandered far and wide, so Swire's focus remained on information warfare.

She gently pinched Yunyi's hair and simply answered his question, "Generally speaking, you can see them as two separate things, but the signals from our terminals are different."

"First of all, we only have one signal source, no relay, and it propagates in a straight line. If others want to modify our information, they can only do so through the terminal, the signal, or the signal tower. Let alone whether they can capture the high-tech signal brought by 002,"

Swire gestured for Yun Yi to look at the terminal in 002's hand. "On the terminal alone, 002 has arranged several layers of information protection. If I'm not mistaken, there's even a self-locking system."

"Self-locked?" Yun Yi turned to look at 002.

"Chirp." The young lady wasn't mistaken. If someone attempts to maliciously tamper with the terminal's core information or steal user information, the terminal will automatically lock and become unusable, requiring a key to unlock it.

002 raised the terminal and chirped proudly.

Yun Yi suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Huh? It just crashed?! Won't that be a hassle? Consumers will be furious!"

As far as she knew from her previous life, it was common for software vendors to blatantly spy on user information and arbitrarily tamper with it. If this feature were actually implemented, the system would probably crash a hundred times a day, and she would probably be cursed out by consumers.

"Why would I find it troublesome or want to curse? If anyone is going to curse, it's those who try to tamper with our terminals. Ordinary people, like infected people who are wanted or arrested for no reason, don't like being deceived and spied on."

With a slight sway of her tiger tail, Shi Huaiya said confidently, "Therefore, as long as we can find the person who altered and stole Lin Liu's (seven) ba (two) skirt information, everyone will only thank us."

"Is that so?" Yun Yi replied blankly.

Forget it, she doesn't understand this anyway, and Terra is different from the one in my previous life. Let's try it according to Swire's idea first. If it doesn't work, we can always change it. After all, product iteration is normal.

“Of course,” Swire said with certainty.

Just think about those mercenaries and messengers who are always tricked by terminals and other electronic products, and thus reluctantly refuse to use them, and you'll know that the Terrans would only welcome this information protection model.

Swire knew that Yunyi just wanted an answer, so she didn't go into details about that. Instead, she moved on to the next point: "With the terminal problem solved, the only breakthrough left is the signal tower."

"We haven't decided where to build the signal tower yet, but my idea is to have Lao Chen and Xing Xiong lead a team to guard it."

Hoshiguma's meticulous and comprehensive defensive organizational capabilities, Chen's keen and meticulous insight, and the formidable combat skills possessed by both of them, could completely thwart any outsider's attempt to strike directly at the heart of the enemy through the signal tower.

Yun Yi gently tugged at his hair, his brows furrowing slightly as he asked, puzzled, "It sounds quite reassuring, but will the Guard Bureau release people? Aren't they usually very busy?"

“Oh, right, I haven’t discussed this with you yet.” Swire smiled, tapping the armrest with her fingertips, and calmly dropped a bombshell. “I plan to resign. Well, after you, Chen, and Hoshiguma sign the contract and demonstrate the system’s capabilities, they should make the same decision.”

Resign?!

Yun Yi was shocked for a moment, but quickly calmed down. "Why? What reason do you have to resign?"

Even if the system is very attractive, it shouldn't be enough to make them give up their regular jobs, right?

"Why not?" Swire stood up from the flying chair and gestured for Yun Yi to look at the projection.

During their brief conversation, everyone on the projection screen fell silent.

Some silently handed their written messages to Anso and Minerva, some stared blankly at Connar's tall figure as he organized the recording pen, and some lay on their beds, exhausted, and fell asleep...

Everyone inexplicably felt a sense of relief, as if the storm had passed.

"They're so relaxed." Yun Yi's eyes showed surprise. Just a moment ago, these people were making a fuss and arguing their point. How come they've quieted down in the blink of an eye?

“This is something I rarely see either,” Swire said, a hint of emotion in her eyes. “When I was doing rescue work, I never felt this relaxed as you do.”

The presence of police officers often exacerbates the victims' fear, regardless of whether the Guard Bureau is competent or not. Rather, it is because the very presence of police officers reminds victims of the suffering they have endured.

"Of course, that's only one aspect. What really made me decide to resign was that you, who caused this situation, are planning to actually implement the terminal plan."

Swire gazed intently at Yun Yi's somewhat youthful face, "You will save many people, you will succeed, and I will naturally follow you."

Is it to maintain the identity of the Guard Bureau, upholding the old order of devouring and protecting people year after year, or to follow Yun Yi to create a new order that purely protects people?

Poetic thoughts: How could this be a multiple-choice question? For her, for Lao Chen, for Xing Xiong... the answer was already there.

Yun Yi was unaware that, while it seemed like she was the one in the mood, it was actually the calm and collected Shi Huai Ya who was truly infatuated.

Swire, adhering to a winner-takes-all mentality, chose to go straight for the kill after evaluation.

However, although Yun Yi didn't know it, she could vaguely sense the madness and trust hidden beneath Swire's calm words, and couldn't help but smile, "Thank you for believing in me!"

She herself didn't really believe that she could succeed, but she didn't expect Swire to trust her so much. Swire is such a good person!

"We can't just let you resign for nothing, how about this,"

Holding the belief that she couldn't let those who trusted her suffer losses, Yun Yi proposed an idea she thought was good: "Didn't you want to be the Guardian of the Dragon Gate? How about we name our terminal version 'Guardian of the Dragon Gate'?"

After saying that, she shook her head and denied it, "It seems a bit too childish, it doesn't seem like it will work?"

"Of course not!" Swire, who had been standing tall and proud, instantly shrank back into her seat, awkwardly digging her toes into the ground. "How come your memory is always so good at times like this! Damn it, you're not doing this on purpose, are you!"

"How could that be?" Yun Yi retorted innocently, "I just thought you were funny back then, and I just remembered it by accident. Didn't I say that my memory is sometimes pretty good!"

“It’s so much fun…” Swire sighed, thinking to herself, what’s so fun about it? It’s just pure embarrassing history!

She just wanted everyone who witnessed her death to have their memories erased!

Shi Huaiya frowned, about to say something, trying to make Yun Yi forget her dark past.

But Yun Yi genuinely found her embarrassed and annoyed expression amusing, so he didn't give Swire a chance to continue speaking and directly changed the subject, "If 'Dragon Gate Guardian' doesn't work, how about just using 'Dragon Gate' as the version name?"

"Of course not!" Swire exclaimed, her emotions running high once again, and immediately rejected the idea.

Then she softened her tone and said, "Unless you turn Lungmen into your own territory, then that's fine."

Volume 2: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 114 Shi Huaiya: Yun Yi's taste in naming things, hmm... is quite unique.

Turn Longmen into their own territory?

Yun Yi glanced at Swire, who was huddled up in a ball with her tail standing on end and her fur slightly ruffled. "That's simply too late, isn't it? According to your previous plans, our terminal will be released very soon. Can we conquer Longmen before then?"

"Even if we could defeat them, I don't think we could digest them, and they might even become a hindrance." Yun Yi didn't think it was feasible.

Swire knew it was impossible, but she said it to stop Yun Yi from naming things randomly. "So, don't think about using Dragon Gate as a name. Think of something else."

"..." Yun Yi was speechless. If she knew how to name things, would she need to find an excuse to quote Swire's wish?

A proper name selection?

In her past life, she seriously considered naming the cactus she raised, agonizing over it for a full two weeks!

Furthermore, she is not familiar with the local language and culture of Terra, and if she comes up with some incongruous name, it would be a real mess.

Yun Yi decisively chose to give up, saying, "Then you come and choose one. I can only come up with rustic names like 'Dragon Gate Blessing'."

Shi Huaiya stretched out her body, her fingertips unconsciously touching the armrest.

She raised an eyebrow and asked further, "A name is supposed to be a symbol of a beginning. You really want me to choose one for you?"

"Okay! Go ahead!" Yun Yi clasped his hands together and waved them, his face full of "please, please."

She knew her own limitations; letting her name the child would be a disaster. "It's precisely because it's important that I can't be in charge—Go for it, Swire! I believe you can come up with a great name that matches our goals!"

Swire observed him repeatedly and realized that this guy was serious. He couldn't help but sigh, "You've really given me a difficult problem."

A name is a very meaningful thing, and its influence is destined to run through their entire career. So, we just gave it to her like that?

Yun Yi remained silent, only raising his hands to give her a thumbs up, saying, "Go, go! You're amazing! We're counting on you!"

Clearly, Yun Yichao wanted Swire to solve the "problem" of the terminal name for her right now.

“Okay, then the name of the terminal is mine now.” Swire didn’t hesitate. Once she was sure Yun Yi was sincere, she accepted the task and quickly came up with several suitable names in her mind.

Poetic thoughts and elegant ears gently plucked along with my mind.

She quickly eliminated names like "Scales of Light," "Mountain Guardian," and "Leaping Cloud Boat," which were somewhat regional and inappropriate. Based on the existing situation, she came up with a relatively optimal one: "How about 'Breaking Through the Barriers'? Those unjust mountains will be breached by us sooner or later."

So fast?

Yun Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise. “‘Breaking through barriers’? Breaking through barriers does indeed fit what we need to do.”

Swire immediately realized she had misunderstood and corrected her, "It's not the 'obstacle' as in 'obstacle,' but the 'mountain range' as in 'layered mountains.'"

"'Breaking Through the Barrier'..."

Feels about the same? No, there's an added metaphor for the obstacle.

Yun Yi, who had a certain sensitivity to language, nodded. "This one is better. Let's choose this one!"

"And I feel like this name is perfect for some introductory phrases. Why don't you come up with a related launch slogan?" Yun Yi remembered that when mobile phones were launched in his previous life, there were promotional slogans like "A masterpiece of craftsmanship, a new chapter begins."

When TerraTerminal was launched, it did not have a slogan, but Swire keenly realized its importance. She immediately waved her hand and refused, saying, "A name can be supplemented by derived meanings, and I can use what I came up with on the spot, but a slogan is not acceptable."

Swire's expression was serious. "The slogan is the first declaration of the terminal to the mainland, and the concept must be conveyed accurately."

“A hastily conceived slogan may not only weaken the profound meaning of ‘breaking through barriers’, but may also affect the long-term positioning of our terminals. Therefore, if we really want to use a slogan, it must be one that has been repeatedly refined by combining market demand and the psychology of the audience.”

“That makes sense.” Yun Yi had no objection. She just had a whim. It would be good if it were there, but it wouldn’t matter if it weren’t. Anyway, it wouldn’t be a problem to add this thing a few years after its release.

Having resolved the issue of the terminal's name—a problem that had been lingering in her mind ever since 002 suggested calling the terminal the "Yunyi Edition"—Yunyi stretched in relief. "OK, the terminal name is decided. So, shall we start production now?"

“Not so fast.” Swire looked away from the exposed white waistline of her shirt and focused her gaze on 002. “There’s still a lot of research and development, trial production, testing and stuff like that.”

"In short, leave these to me and 002. You just need to keep an eye on when the system releases the list of contractors and use your map ability to find a suitable location in Lungmen to build a cluster of signal towers."

"Looking for a place? Sure, I've done this kind of thing before."

As Yun Yi lowered his arm and readily agreed, he noticed out of the corner of his eye the victims whose information gathering was nearing its end on the projection screen. He couldn't help but look over and ask, "What about these people? Are they going to proceed as planned?"

"Those who want to leave, please continue as before; those who don't want to leave..."

Swire paused for a moment, then turned to look at 001 on Yun Yi's leg. "Didn't you want to change their accommodations before? Just do it. This time, you don't need to hide anything from those victims who want to stay. The Nirvana will be used as a production facility for a long time to come."

The Nirvana's spacious cabin shouldn't be wasted.

That tone of explanation… Yun Yi turned back, puzzled, and asked, “Aren’t you staying with me?”

"Time is of the essence. I need to confirm the next steps with Lao Chen and Xingxiong, and also free up enough funds and channels to develop the equipment and materials for the production terminal."

Swire, brimming with energy, swayed excitedly behind her. "Don't worry, I'll be back with you tonight—by the way, when you're seeing off the victim who wants to leave, chat with Miss Texas and see if you can recruit her directly."

As she spoke, Swire stepped forward and hugged Yun Yi with open arms. Her fingertips tightened briefly behind Yun Yi's back before immediately releasing.

Yun Yi only felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could feel anything, the other party had retreated again.

As Swire sat back in the flying chair, the metal armrests creaked softly as she squeezed them.

She lowered her eyes and subtly raised her hand to straighten the wrinkles in her cuffs. Her slightly disheveled tiger ears trembled uncontrollably for half a second before quickly straightening up. Her voice was slightly hoarse, almost imperceptible, but she covered it up. "The mission is urgent. Don't dawdle. Get me and 002 out of here. I'm leaving this to you."

"Oh..." Yun Yi flicked his index finger and sent the man and the chicken away. The figures of the man and the chicken blurred and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Seeing the person in front of him leave, Yun Yi finally snapped out of his daze, grabbed 001 from his lap to cover his face, and yelled, "No way, is Swire crazy?!"

Do you really love ambushing people that much?

She didn't experience anything!

001, lifted up, blinked its beady eyes, and the tuft of hair on its head swayed uncertainly. "Chirp, chirp?" The young lady seemed to be in good health and should not have any illnesses.

When it spoke, Yun Yi realized that what he was holding wasn't a pillow but a live Manjiu. His face instantly turned red. "I didn't say anything!"

001 didn't understand, but was loyal and honest. "Chirp, chirp!" Yes, yes, the commander didn't say anything!

Yunyi felt even more embarrassed after hearing its agreement.

She scratched her face, coughed, looked up at the projection, and changed the subject, saying, "Let me see... Hmm, all the information has been gathered. It's time for our Er⊙Er Yi Shan Ling Ba Er Yue + Yi to make her appearance!"

Yun Yi wasn't lying. In the projection, Conar and Anso had already handed the processed recording pen and paper to Minerva.

Minerva sat on the platform in the center of the prison, distributing this information bit by bit under the gazes of various people from all directions.

On either side of her body, one side was visibly piled high with papers, while the other side had very few.

Yun Yi directed the projector to focus on the pile of papers that were covered with the second layer of paper, wanting to see what they contained, but then she realized that she couldn't understand them at all.

The text on the paper looks like both English and Russian—the oddly shaped symbols must be Russian, right?

Tsk! I transmigrated and got a language hell dungeon as a bonus?

Yun Yi pursed his lips and tapped the armrest with his fingers. "Alright, once I'm done with this, I'll take it all out in one go. Anyway, with the system training ground, it won't be too difficult, right?"

You can't not learn it, because terminal distribution will inevitably be involved.

Unexpectedly given an extra learning task, Yun Yi stared at the paper with a bitter expression for a few seconds before moving the camera away and refocusing the projection on Minerva.

As if sensing Yun Yi's gaze, Minerva stopped what she was doing.

She looked up and around, then said loudly and calmly, "One last time, does anyone have any objections to what they submitted?"

The rest of the prisoners remained silent, letting Minerva's voice echo alone until she had called out three times, and no one answered.
