[CN] Victor’s Advice Date
🍒 Warning: This post contains spoilers for a date, èźšæ•™äč‹çșŠ, which has not been released in English servers! 🍒
Tumblr media
Outside the window, the wing of the plane slowly glides past layers of clouds, and glaring daylight illuminates the clear skies above the clouds.
Retracting my gaze, I look at Victor as he sits beside me. He’s wearing a formal suit, and is currently flipping through LFG’s annual report.
A week ago, both Victor and I received invitations to attend the annual media meeting in a neighbouring city today.
Among the list participants, there are a number of big shots in the business, as well as rising stars in the media industry. Victor and I are included. 
While I’m heading there with the goal of exchanging pointers with those in the same industry, Victor is making an appearance in the capacity of an investor.
Watching how attentively Victor is examining the report, I quietly turn off the video.
Just a while ago, the company produced a program which created lively discussion on the internet.
Even though a majority of the audience and those in the industry found the theme of the program original and with interesting content, a senior from the industry left feedback to the contrary.
In an “Aspects of the Film and Television Industry” interview , Producer Xia mercilessly criticised the sizeable number of issues in the industry.
While I originally agreed with whatever he said, I didn’t expect that in the next second, I’d appear in the list of examples given by this senior...
He commented that my program was sensationalised, purposefully created controversy, and that producers have completely lost their personal integrity and their "original aspirations” when making programs.
There were people who stood by me, mocking Producer Xia for simply resting on his laurels, and not following the times and being creative.
Yet, his words caused my heart to feel heavy.
At this thought, I release a sigh.
MC: Maybe I’ll be able to get some advice and experience from people in the same industry at the annual media meeting later...
Tumblr media
Victor: Why aren’t you resting a little more on the plane?
Without warning, Victor’s voice sounds at my ear. Even before I have the chance to turn the video off, his line of sight has already landed on my screen.
MC: Cough. I’m learning from a senior in the industry, and also thinking about how to seek advice from those in the same industry during the annual meeting.
Hearing this, Victor lightly shuts the report in his hands.
Victor: Did you know that this producer would also be participating in tonight’s annual media meeting?
MC: !?
Victor: You could learn from him in person.
Outside the window of the plane are pleasant weather and blue skies. At this moment, however, there’s lightning, thunder, and torrential rain in my heart.
MC: ...Victor, could I stay in the hotel and re-conceptualise the variety show proposal you shot down last week?
Victor: No.
Before I can fleece all the possible excuses from my brain, Victor reaches out, pulling my knitted hat over my nose.
Victor: If it’s a problem you can’t resolve, don’t waste time on it. Who was the one who boldly said she’d gather her energy to get advice from those in the same industry?
MC: ...it was me.
Victor: In that case, set aside the program, and think about what you want to ask him later.
Tumblr media
With this, Victor closes his eyes, minding his own business.
But he pushes the arm handle in between us, and reaches out to lean my head on his shoulder.
MC: Victor, you...
Victor: Close your eyes and think.
-
Mentally preparing myself to make conversation with people from the same industry, I step off the plane worriedly.
The private car arranged by the organiser of the annual meeting sends us directly to the venue, not giving me the slightest chance to struggle.
Stepping into the venue, the staff hurriedly rush over and speak to Victor in hushed whispers.
Victor nods at them slightly.
Tumblr media
Victor: I’ll head over there with them, and will look for you later.
MC: All right. I’ll meet those in the same industry myself, and hope I can have the “luck” to interact with Producer Xia...
After Victor leaves, I stroll around the venue aimlessly.
I meet quite a number of familiar seniors in the venue. During our conversations, I obtain a lot of practical and useful suggestions.
Talking about the conceptualisation of works, and their experience preparing a program from start to finish... I learn quite a lot.
But the conversation topics inevitably end up with that dispute weighing on my mind.
Producer A: Producer Xia is just too inflexible. That’s just the style of current times. It’s not as though one’s “original aspirations” can rake in money.
MC: Actually, what Producer Xia said is correct. I’m still very green when it comes to going in-depth for programs...
It’s just that the reason why I’m brooding over this is because I don’t wish for the senior I respect to misunderstand that I’m a producer who has lost my original aspirations.
Producer B: Young Lady, being able to accomplish so much at this age, and being able to grab the attention of the audience is already considered a success.  
Faced with the kind consolation from everyone, I can only wave my hands in front of me awkwardly.
After bidding farewell to a few people from the same industry, I plan to make another round, but I feel vibrations in my pocket. Taking out my phone, I realise that Victor is calling me.
Victor: Why are you hovering around?
MC: Huh?
I instinctively turn my head to look around, but can’t see a trace of Victor.
Victor: Stop looking around. Lift your head.
After my eyes roam the venue, they finally halt on the French window of the private room on the second floor. I can’t help but wave in small motions towards Victor, who is standing behind the glass.
MC: I can see you now. But what do you mean by “hovering around”... I’m clearly learning very diligently, okay?
Victor: So, how’s your learning?
MC: It’s not bad. I just met a number of really incredible producers. They shared lots of tips when it comes to preparing and conceptualising a program!
Victor: Why don’t you talk to that producer you admire most?
Hesitating for a moment, I express my dispute with Producer Xia in a roundabout manner.
MC: Actually, I had some divergence in opinions regarding the production of programs with this senior a while ago... It wouldn’t be that good to go over so abruptly.
Victor: So, you feel nervous in such situations. Why don’t you think about how it wouldn’t be that good when you’re being fearless and bold in front of me?
MC: That’s not the same thing!
I retort him without hesitation, and a soft “hmph” can be heard at my ear.
Victor: Does he look even scarier? Or is he more worthy of you trying to figure him out carefully, and pondering and worrying about being too abrupt? 
MC: ...of course not! Just you wait - I’m going over there right now!
Taking a deep breath, I’m just about to hang up when a staff’s voice drifts from the other end of the line. 
Staff: Mr Victor, you’ll have to be on stage in about ten minutes.
Astonished, I lift my head in Victor’s direction.
MC: You’ll be on stage in a while? Why didn’t you mention it?
Victor: The organiser invited me at short notice. I just have to share my experience simply.
MC: Short notice??
Behind the glass, I see him lowering his hand to look at his watch, as though preparing to be on stage.
Victor: All right, it’s time for you to return to your seat.
-
When Victor heads to the stage, it dawns on me that I haven’t looked for my seat ever since entering the venue.
I hurriedly open the invitation card, looking around according to the seat number stated on it. Surprised, I realise that I’m actually sitting next to Producer Xia!
MC: It can’t be that coincidental, right?
Eyes widening, I once again verify the seat number. Even if I don’t wish to admit it, the person seated on my right is Producer Xia, whose words have troubled my heart.
But logically speaking, my seat should be a little further behind...
Watching as the guests take their seats in succession, me standing here is even more conspicuous.
I have no choice but to summon my courage and walk towards the seat, pondering on this unexpected “surprise”.
??: Is that the producer from [MC’s Company Name]? Tch tch, the one next to her is Producer Xia with the big temper.
Maintaining a smile, I greet the seniors at the table, pulling the chair outwards incredibly softly.
But hearing my movements, Producer Xia turns his head. The eyes that pause on my face put an end to my chance of feigning ignorance.
MC: Hello, Producer Xia. I’m MC, and I’ve been looking forward to meeting you...
Just as the rumours have said, his temperament is odd, and this senior simply nods. 
The atmosphere reaches an impasse. Slightly sullen, I recall what Victor said earlier-
“What’s so scary about you?”
That’s right. I’ve already signed a five hundred million dollar contract with Victor, so what else is there to be afraid of!
Perhaps the little Victor in my head gives me a buff, and I steel my heart, speaking bluntly.
MC: Senior Xia, to be honest, a large part of the reason why I attended this annual meeting was to obtain your advice. Of course, what I hope even more is to dispel the misunderstanding you have about me.
Producer Xia doesn’t say anything, and I’m unable to read his emotions on his face. But saying these things makes me much more light-hearted.
MC: You criticised my program before, saying that I’m too fickle, wanting to chase after trendy topics, and have lost the “original aspiration” of what it means to make programs. 
Producer Xia: So, what are you trying to say?
MC: There are indeed many flaws in my programs. This is an issue arising from my own inabilities. But “deliberately creating sensational topics”, “chasing after views”... These aren’t my intentions, nor my motivation for entering this industry.
Mustering my courage, I tell him about the very first conceptualisation of the program he criticised, and the difficulties faced in the implementation process.
After a very long time, he sighs.
Producer Xia: Is the old-fashioned opinion of someone like me very important to you? 
I’m stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning in his words. However, judging from his tone and expression, he doesn’t seem enraged by my abruptness.
MC: That’s right. Because you’re a senior I respect very much, and I grew up watching your programs. As compared to those programs which are trendy for a while, your works are classics which have withstood the test of time.
Even before I finish speaking, the stage is suddenly illuminated. The surroundings quieten down, and everyone turns their gazes to the middle of the stage.
Under the eyes of the audience, Victor walks onto the stage. 
He’s attending the meeting in the capacity of an investor, and his speech represents the choice of the market, and also represents the hopes of the audience.
Victor’s voice is neither too fast nor too slow, and is steady with strength. 
Tumblr media
Victor: ...they key to a successful program lies in being able to continuously release a different voice in this diverse world.
Victor: Innovation will bring friction, but when interacting with all sorts of perspectives, it could create space and opportunities for thought within the industry.
Victor: Always accommodating to the market and following trends could erode a program and make it lose its initial style, rendering it into yet another industrial product with no originality.
Perhaps talking about the current situation in the industry, a few seniors from the older generation who weren’t paying attention at the start have their attentions piqued.
Tumblr media
Victor: But to strike a balance between following trends and maintaining valuable opinions...
Victor: This is a difficult aspiration that every producer has to face and be unwilling to give up on.
Victor pauses for a moment. In a trace, I even have the misperception that he’s looking straight at me. 
I instinctively start clapping, but the surroundings are completely quiet.
It’s only at this point that I realise the speech isn’t over yet. According to the plan, an expression of gratitude and concluding remarks follow after this...
But I didn’t expect that Producer Xia would follow me in applauding, very quickly dispelling my awkwardness.
With this senior leading the pack, the applause offstage very quickly turns enthusiastic.
On the stage, Victor politely expresses his gratitude. When the applause fizzles out, he ends with the concluding remarks. 
At this moment, Producer Xia, who has been silent all this while, speaks.
Producer Xia: A while ago, I heard that after a young junior heard my criticisms, she quietly went around interviewing all the related audiences and guests again. I initially didn’t believe it, but I can see that it’s true now. My views were too one-sided.
My face flushes.
MC: ...just as you said, my works don’t relate enough to real life, and lack insight. After calming down and pondering over it for a very long time, I could only think of this stupid method.
Producer Xia: Perhaps just as that young man said earlier, I should change the way I think.
-
The afternoon sunlight is leisurely, and the fragrance of coffee ferments in the air, leaving me in a daze.
After the annual media meeting, Victor and I have come to a nearby cafe. 
MC: I heard that the speech on stage was requested by the organiser at short notice. If it were me, I’d definitely be unbelievably nervous. As expected of you, Victor!
Tumblr media
Victor: I could see it very clearly when you were making small talk offstage.
MC: ...those were just normal greetings between me and those from the industry. Producer Xia even said that you’re very accomplished. 
Victor: Didn’t you say that his temper was as equally large as his popularity?
MC: Those were all just misunderstandings. Senior Xia even answered many questions that I didn’t get an answer to even after cracking my head over them.
In our seats in the cafe, I’m engrossed in sharing what I heard earlier, and Victor lets out a resigned sigh.
Victor: ...you said you were going to treat someone to coffee, so why are you only sharing your own experiences?
His reminder brings me back my senses, and my gaze once again lands on the menu.
MC: But...
Victor reaches out to take the menu from my hands.
Victor: It’s just ordering coffee. Why do you look like you’re in misery?
Tumblr media
But when he sees the words on the menu, he purses his lips.
Victor: ...
MC: Do you know why I looked like I was in misery now?
Victor: Are you sure these are names of coffee?
MC: Of course!
Picturing Victor reading out the names of the coffee with a dead serious expression, I await for that image to turn into reality with much anticipation.
So, I deliberately clear my throat, leaning closer to him.
MC: So, Mister, may I know if you’d like “Sweet Sweet Milk Coffee”, or “Puckery Pure Coffee”?
[Note] In Chinese, the names of the coffee are meant to be sound cutesy - “甜甜ć—Čć—Čć„¶ć’–â€ (“tian tian dia dia nai ka”) and â€œæ¶©æ¶©ć‘Œć‘ŒçșŻć’–ć•Ąâ€ (“se se hu hu chun ka”)
Victor: ...
Victor’s brows furrow indistinctly, then he shuts the menu.
Victor: The second.
As expected, he doesn’t fall for the trap. I can only let my enthusiasm wane, and I order two cups of coffee.
-
Completing the day’s itinerary, Victor and I return to the hotel early.
After washing up, I’m just about to blow my hair when I realise that there’s an issue with the hair dryer in my room, and no one at the reception counter is picking up my call.
After a moment of hesitation, I drape on my jacket, and knock on Victor’s room next door.
Victor opens the door quickly. He has already changed into casual homewear, and the room is in a state of complete darkness, as though he’s already preparing to sleep.
Tumblr media
Victor: What’s wrong?
MC: I’m here to borrow the hair dryer. The one in my room can’t be used.
Victor turns his body to the side, letting me in. When I step into the room, I sneeze.
MC: Achoo! Why’s it so cold here? Didn’t you turn on the heater?
Victor: I just had a bath. I found it a little warm so I turned it off.
While he speaks, I turn the heater and lights on in the room. Borrowing the bright lights, I notice the grey circles underneath his eyes. 
The end of the year is LFG’s busiest period. He definitely didn’t get proper rest over this duration.
With this thought, I pick up the hair dryer on the coffee table, planning to blow my hair dry in my own room. But when I turn around, I bump into his chest.
MC: Why are you standing behind me so quietly?
Victor: Who’s the quiet one?
Tumblr media
Probably finding my stunned expression humorous, the corners of Victor’s lips curl upwards.
Victor: You’re borrowing a hair dryer, so why are you acting so suspiciously?
MC: ...I’m worried that I’m disturbing your rest! So I plan to dry my hair in my room.
Without a word, he takes my hand, pulling me to sit on the sofa next to the coffee table. Then, he sits behind me.
Not understanding what’s going on, I twist my head to look at him.
Victor: Be good and sit.
Tumblr media
He takes the hair dryer in my hand, lifting the ends of my hair out from my jacket, then stops.
Victor: Take off your jacket.
MC: ??
Tumblr media
Victor sighs in resignation, then pulls gently at a corner of the sleeve of my jacket.
MC: ?! 
Tumblr media
Victor: Your jacket’s drenched from your hair. If you don’t want to catch a cold, take it off.
MC: [blushes] I see...
Victor: Don’t let your imagination run wild.
MC: I did not!
Face flushed, I remove my jacket. Suddenly, I feel a cold shiver, and realise that I'm only wearing a spaghetti strap top.
I can feel the blood on my face rushing to the top of my head.
MC: [blushing] I... I should keep it on! Or I’ll feel very cold...
Before I even finish speaking, I feel a warm, broad chest pressing against me.
Victor: Are you still cold like this?
MC: [blushing] ...nope.
Tumblr media
Victor switches the hair dryer on, gently fiddling with my hair. 
My back rubs against his cotton t-shirt, at the area close to his heart. It seems as though I can vaguely feel his heartbeat. For a moment, I can’t differentiate if it’s my heartbeat or his.
He holds up the ends of my hair tenderly, his fingers occasionally touching my scalp gently. 
My hair dances in the air in a disorderly manner, following the direction of the hair dryer, and they fall on my cheeks and neck.
A ticklish sensation surfaces from behind and in front of me. I bite my lip, but finally chuckle, unable to hold myself back.
MC: Hahahaha -- it’s so ticklish!
Victor’s actions pause slightly. Then, he bends his forefinger and taps the top of my head softly.
Victor: Even if it’s ticklish, bear with it.
I tense myself up, sitting in Victor’s arms, trying my best to level my breathing.
Tumblr media
Victor: Relax. Why are you so nervous?
MC: ...It’s not like I can relax just because you tell me to relax. Oh yes, Victor, did you assign someone to handle today’s seating arrangements?
Victor: Mm. Didn’t you find it a pleasant surprise that you could interact with the producer you admire?
Recalling the nervousness and awkwardness of conversing with Producer Xia, I can’t help but mutter softly.
MC: Yes yes yes, I’m grateful for the serious scare you prepared for me...
Tumblr media
Victor: Looks like the both of you had a joyful interaction, and that you’re no longer preoccupied by the matter that troubled you.
Tumblr media
Hearing his teasing remark, I lift up my head, the back of my head almost bumping into Victor’s chin.
MC: How did you know that? Did you watch the “Aspects of the Film and Television Industry” interview?
The hair dryer hums at my ear, but I can still capture the soft “hmph” he leaves in the air.
Tumblr media
Victor: Whenever that senior was mentioned, your expression would turn very nervous. When other people brought up their opinions on your program, you’d start tweaking your ears and scratching your cheeks in anxiousness, deliberately evading the topic. The program proposals you’ve been giving me have fewer errors. But at the same time, your ideas have become increasingly conservative.
Victor speaks unhurriedly and with reason. When I hear this, I break into cold sweat, and shirk my neck in guilt. 
MC: So you could already tell since early on.
Victor: At first, I thought such changes would be beneficial to your growth. But when I saw a certain dummy becoming more and more roundabout, and having a more negative attitude, I thought she needed someone to give her a push.
MC: ...aren’t you worried that with such a violent push, I’d fall?
Tumblr media
Victor: If that producer insisted on being at odds with you, what would you have done?
Victor’s counterquestion sounds above my head. For a moment, I’m left in a daze, and I give it serious thought. 
Actually, I’ve long since known the answer to this question. After all, from a very long time ago, Victor already told me that the opinions of others aren’t that important.
It’s just that when applying it to myself, I realise how difficult it is to follow through with such words. 
MC: It just means that I ought to work even harder, and use my subsequent works as proof... no, as a counterattack!
Tumblr media
Victor: Being able to think this way means you aren’t beyond cause.
He taps the top of my head gently again.
MC: In that interview episode, Producer Xia said that the most important thing in making programs is to maintain that “original aspiration”. I think what that meant was - as producers, we not only have to maintain professionalism, but have to persevere in our own steps. The production of programs has always been an open-ended question. If I were to cater to the opinions of others, it would be going against my own “original aspiration”. So what I’m thinking is that perhaps from the very beginning, the question I should pondering on is how to better express and convey things.
Out of habit, I lift my head to meet his eyes, wanting to seek Victor’s affirmation.
Tumblr media
Victor lets out a breath, gently tidying my hair. The friction from his finger pads brings with it an almost indistinct tenderness and patience. 
Tumblr media
Victor: All right, your hair’s dry, and you’ve thought through the problem. You should go back.
MC: Huh?
Victor grabs a blanket from the side, covering my exposed shoulders tightly.
Victor: Or do you want to laze here for an entire night?
Tugging the blanket over myself to cover my scorching cheeks, I speak boldly.
MC: But the notebook on your desk is still lit. Are you planning to continue working? I want to advance together with CEO Victor, and re-conceptualise that proposal you find too conservative. After all, if Producer MC makes an excellent program, it’d be a good thing for its investment partner LFG, right?
Tumblr media
I speak earnestly and sincerely, but Victor is tickled by my dead serious tone.
Victor: Lacking great wisdom and knowledge, but clever in trivial matters.
From the reflection in the glass of the French window, I can vaguely see a small smile on Victor’s lips. 
Victor: Since you said you want to “advance together”, you aren’t allowed to be timid. Being bold in front of me - isn’t that what you’ve always been good at?

[CN] ASMR Transcript - Sway (Kiro)
🍒 Warning: This post contains detailed spoilers for an ASMR, æ‘‡æ›ł, which has not been released in English servers! 🍒
Tumblr media
It’s important to read Kiro’s Satisfaction Date (translated by @link4eva) i.e. CN 2021 Birthday Date before continuing, so you know what’s going on!
[ Released in CN: 14 April 2021 ]
[ sound of water and nature. the door opens and Kiro walks in ]
Miss Chips!
You’ve waited long.
[sigh of relief] I finally found this hammock.
It was lying and wobbling in the shade of the boat’s cabin.
It’s a pretty blessed thing.
[ unzipping sounds ]
Of course there’s a bed in the cabin.
But I want to present you with something even more interesting.
After all,
You’re the first guest of this boat.
[ unpacking sounds ]
Also,
I’ve always wanted to experience lying on a hammock with you.
[ sounds of Kiro getting the hammock out ]
Huh?
You don’t think it can hold us both?
Let me unfold it to take a look.
[ sounds of Kiro unfolding the hammock ]
[sighs] The size doesn’t seem to be a problem at all.
You’re referring to the quality?
[ sounds of Kiro patting (?) the hammock ]
You can rest assured.
As long as...
There aren’t any large movements,
It definitely wouldn’t tear.
[chuckles] Come.
Let’s hang the hammock up together!
[ rustling sounds ]
Hey, why are you just sitting here and not moving?
Hm?
Which phrase?
“Let’s hang the hammock up together”?
The previous phrase?
“Large movements”?
[pouty voice] Miss Chips,
What are you thinking of?
[chuckles] You aren’t thinking too much,
Yet have a face as red as a tomato.
Are you sure it’s rouge? [chuckles]
[ I think Kiro rubs his cheek against hers ]
In that case, does my face also have rouge now? [chuckles]
Fine fine fine,
I’m the real red tomato. [chuckles]
[ Kiro walks away ]
Come over.
I’ll teach you how to tie the hammock.
[ MC walks over ]
Like this...
Fold the rope into half like this.
Pass through this buckle.
[ rope sounds ]
Tie it around the pillar twice.
[ rope sounds ]
And then, like this.
Then this.
Finally, pull it tight.
Done!
[ KISSES ]
[sighs] Miss Chips is truly the person I have most chemistry with.
Mm.
After this,
I’ll check if it’s balanced.
[ Kiro lifts MC onto the hammock ]
Don’t be afraid.
It’s normal for the ropes to make noise.
I’ll protect you, [whispers] and won’t let you fall.
Isn’t it much more comfortable than you imagined? [chuckles]
Also,
After carrying you onto the hammock, I realised...
There’s one other thing that’s good about this hammock.
As long as I stand at the side and lower my head,
I can...
[ chuckles + KISS + more chuckles ]
Hm? What do you think I’m doing?
Silly Miss Chips.
Of course I need to lie down to know if the hammock is balanced.
[ KISSES ]
From how it looks,
The height and tightness are just right.
[sighs] It’s soft.
Feels like I’m going to sink in.
What you said is correct.
The hammock seems to be a little small.
It barely managed to stuff us both.
[ KISSES. MANY MANY KISSES + one cute Kiro chuckle AND THEN HE STARTS PANTING ]
Don’t move around.
Otherwise, we’d fall on our backs.
Looks like Miss Chips isn’t too obedient today.
In that case, I have no choice but to catch your disobedient hands.
[ Kiro breaths pretty heavily + rustling sounds ]
Miss Chips.
The balance and size have been tested.
Next, is it time to test the quality?
[ rustling sounds ]
Weren’t you very curious earlier?
It’s too late to regret now.
The hammock is really soft. 
It isn’t easy to get up by yourself.
Also,
[whispers] You’re on my boat.
[whispers] Miss Chips,
[whispers] You can’t escape.

MLQC Season 2 Chapter 15 (Kiro’s Chapter) Part 1 [15-1] Translation [CN]
***WARNING!!!! SPOILERS!!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE PREVIOUS CHAPTERS OR ARE NOT UP-TO-DATE ABOUT THE CONTENT IN SEASON 2 OF MLQC!!!***
This is a translation of Kiro’s chapter from the latest chapter update on MLQC CN server(released on 6/3/2021). I’ll be posting his chapter in sections since I feel it’s easier for me this way. For those interested in reading more, please be patient over the course of the next several days. I do not know any Chinese so everything was done using Google Translate and took some liberties in rewording certain sentences to make it flow better. Thank you to the wonderful @link4eva​ for looking this over for me <3 Without further ado, enjoy!!!
MLQC Season 2 Chapter 15: Counterattack
[Bear Reunion]
Tumblr media
The silver-white arc was fleeting and the power station returned to the previous dead silence.
I looked into the distance and the scattered light passed through the thick fog, faint but full of power.
However, everyone in the city is still trapped in the abyss of longing for survival.
I took a deep breath and looked at my phone. The screen showed one hour remaining.
The game continues.
I looked down at my palm as if I could feel the seemingly numb sensation when the current passed.
The original plan was to continue distributing aerosols after the power supply was restored in Loveland City.
Although it wasn’t successful in making Joker appear, at least it can help more disadvantaged people at the moment.
I raised my head and looked at the empty power supply station. Only the sound of equipment roaring in the air.
Shaw isn’t here. With my strength alone, it is difficult to influence players in more regions and maybe I will be overtaken by them.
Now I need more reliable people to join in the aerosol distribution plan.
Either the other party is trustworthy or has a certain degree of authority and can provide abundant human resources.
MC: ...Temporary rescue point!  
I thought of the place I have just visited. Since it is a temporary organization specially set up by the Special Task Force and the police, it meets this requirement.
If I tell them where the next replenishment will be restocked, the aerosols can be more effectively and reasonably distributed.
But the situation on the sports field just now was too chaotic and it was not a suitable choice.
I opened  the paper map. At the power station, located on the outskirts of the city, there is a large affiliated hospital a few kilometers away.
There is a high probability that there will be a temporary rescue point.
Even if it there isn’t, there should be certain service personnel and police officers who can provide some assistance.
That must be it.
After deciding where to go, I took a deep breath and put away the map. Once again, I looked back at the place where Shaw disappeared, turned and left the power station.

I followed the map and carefully watched the road under my feet, trying to protect myself from the fog.
But the visibility of the fog is too dense which more or less shifts my sense of direction.
MC: 
.I should turn left here.
I walked along the shoulder of the road trying not to let myself miss the intersection.
The next second, the whistling wind sounded in my ears. I was stunned for a moment and my heart beat faster.
The fog in front of me seemed to fade a little. After I sped up my pace, I discovered that beside the residential area, there was a stable and powerful wind barrier covering the building.
This wind quietly surrounds the building and merges into a closed wind mass, trying to isolate the building from the foggy poisonous gas.
A familiar peace of mind and a certain guess surged in my heart. I gripped my fingers as if holding this courage.
I realized that the wind barrier was preventing others from approaching so I didn’t stay too long and continued forward.
Fog swept through my vision again and I tried to distinguish the reference objects along the way on the map but the fog was too thick.
I don’t know how long I have been walking but I know I can’t stop.
After stopping at an intersection, I checked the map and looked up at the road sign above.
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Medical University, 800 meters to the left.
I walked quickly in the direction indicated but was dumbfounded upon my arrival.
There seemed to have been a fight here and huge fallen rocks blocked the intersection. And not only here, another road is also blocked by stones.
Not willing to give up, I took out the map again, trying to find another route to the hospital but my vision became blurred.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously, only the sound of my rapid breathing remained in the air.
I can’t give up yet.
There must be another way.
Straightening up, I walked towards the only intersection left.
The vast white fog, like a dense and huge net, held me tightly within its grasp.
Suddenly, my eyes felt astringent, a little hot and a light spot appeared in my field of vision.
I thought it was a distant light but the dots of light continued to flicker and in the next moment it spread into many lines of light.
It seemed to be alive, rapidly growing and converging into a network and slowly being stretched away, clearly marking the supply point and the landmark building of the city.
A large urban grid pierced through the dense fog and laid out before my eyes, illuminating my entire world.
My heart was beating wildly and after seeing the image, I gasped.
This is a map of Loveland City.
Where I was, a little bear emerged out of thin air with a small flower on its head and nodded its head at me.
“Pi-pi-”
At the same time, my collar made a rush of electric noises.
After a few sounds, it finally stabilized, replaced by static. It seems that someone is controlling my collar.
MC: 
.?!
I didn’t dare make a sound when I didn’t know why it was happening so I could only hold my breath and wait for the other party’s movement.
A few seconds later, a familiar and long-lost voice came from the microphone of the collar.
Tumblr media
??: Kilo, show the connection.
MC: !!
As soon as I heard the words, a red line came from a distance on the map in front of me and was connected to the little flower bear.
The other little bear symbolizing Kiro is on the other end of the map. Its head nodding again and again as if greeting me.
Kiro: I have kept you waiting, MC.
