NIKKE: Max Bonded but System Gone

Command Center.

Rapi sat in a chair and sent a message to Green, who was currently live-streaming.

—— Counters Squad ——

Rapi: "Commander, do you need me to investigate JohnD's identity?"

Green: "Why the sudden thought?"

Rapi: "I just think that her remarks have clearly crossed the line."

Rapi: "If we don't restrict her speech, it might harm your image."

Anis: "Ugh, who is this shameless person? Coming in and slandering our Commander like that. It's making me so angry!"

Anis: "Rapi is right. We need to 'open her box' and teach her a lesson!"

Nien: "Master, do you think we should use firepower to punish this villain?"

Green: "Everyone, calm down, don't get upset."

Anis: "But Commander, she just insulted you in front of so many Nikke!"

Anis: "Are you really going to just let it go?"

Green: "Anis, Rapi, Nien, don't let these childish comments upset you."

Green: "Also, I've checked. JohnD's account was created in the Outer Rim."

Green: "That place is outside the Ark's jurisdiction, right?"

Anis: "Although it's frustrating, the Commander does have a point."

Rapi: "Understood."

After calming down the three members of his team, Green ended today's livestream.

The crowdfunding was very successful, and with Rupee's donations, Green raised almost two million in funds. While part of the money would go to the factory to make dolls, the rest would be enough for him to upgrade the Counters Squad or purchase long-term operational supplies for a while.

As for Crow... Just a social thug living in her own world.

Green knew Crow's intention: she simply wanted to provoke him and force him to reveal the ugly side she believed every Ark person should have.

However, Green didn't take her childish remarks to heart. He even graciously left her a message, inviting her to his consultation room for a talk. Because Green knew that as long as he didn't rush, Crow would be the one getting anxious.

"Rapi, bring me some blank paper coupons."

"Okay, Commander."

Green took the paper Rapi handed him, cut it into the shape of tickets, and then printed text on them.

[Commander General Coupon]

[The holder of this coupon can command the Commander for a day, as they wish.]

"Commander, is this what you were talking about? The limited edition general coupons, only ten issued each month?" Rapi leaned over, asking curiously.

"Yes! The Outpost base is currently short on funds. Without the support of the Nikke, relying solely on the central government's subsidies is not enough to keep it running," Green said as he neatly stacked the ten general coupons and placed them on the desk. "Take these coupons. You can find a time to distribute them to ten people from the Nikke who participated in the crowdfunding."

"....."

Rapi silently took the ten general coupons, but her expression seemed a little hesitant.

Green noticed she hadn't moved for a while and reminded her, "Rapi?"

Rapi snapped out of her thoughts before speaking, "Sorry, Commander, I was just lost in thought."

"What were you thinking about?"

"I was just wondering, will the person holding this coupon really be able to ask you for anything?"

"Of course, not everything will be granted. If it's something that goes against my principles, I'll refuse on the spot," Green replied. "But if it's just a reasonable request, I'll try my best to fulfill it."

"I see..."

Rapi hesitated for a long time before gathering her courage and said somewhat shyly, "Commander, can I have one?"

"Huh? Rapi, you want one too?"

"Mm."

Rapi adjusted her beret and slightly turned her head, trying to hide the faint redness on her face. As a person who was easily embarrassed, Rapi felt like her body was on fire at that moment. She rarely asked Green for anything. However, this time was different.

Because with this general coupon... Even someone like her, who struggled to express emotions, could use the coupon as an excuse to ask.

She really needed this coupon.

"Alright, Rapi. I'll write you a separate one."

Green took some time to print another general coupon for Rapi.

Rapi carefully took the coupon, her slightly flushed face breaking into a charming smile. "Commander, thank you. I really appreciate it."

Green smiled and waved his hand. "Heh, compared to all the things you've done for me, this is nothing. By the way, have you decided what you want me to do?"

"...." Rapi's face turned even redder. In the end, she didn't answer.

Green observed her flushed and shy expression and couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, Rapi, go back and think it over carefully. Just don't make me hold your hand and walk around the streets of the Outpost all day. As a tactical warrior, make good use of the treasure you have."

"Understand Commander. Then I'll head back to my dorm."

"Go ahead. Be careful on your way. If anything unusual happens, please notify me immediately in the group chat."

Rapi nodded and saluted Green before quickly turning and leaving.

Click.

Hearing the sound of the door locking, Green finally slouched back in his chair, gently rubbing his aching muscles.

Although Green had a special physique and his body had been enhanced by the system, being around Nikke was still too much pressure. Not just mentally, but physically too.

"Damn, Anis's body is too heavy. I can barely catch my breath..."

Green gently squeezed his thigh and arm, feeling the soreness in the joints that Anis had pressed on, as if he had run 5,000 meters and then done five hundred frog jumps afterward.

"Anis, you American Cheeseburger! I'll definitely get my revenge next time." Green clenched his fist but then he wondered something, "Just Anis alone is this heavy. If it were Rapi, I'd probably be crushed to death."

Green took a deep breath and imagined Rapi lying on top of him, with his bones creaking under the pressure.

That scene could only be described as laughable.

"Looks like today's work is about done."

"Let's grab some food, then check the group chat."

After tearing open the package from the Port Expedition, Green swallowed the Ark specialty, which could only be described as either mush or a lump of dough, and barely filled his stomach before opening the Nikke's forum.

———— Commander Fan Club ————

Dolla: "Has anyone gotten a general coupon from the guest?"

Soline: "Wow, I got one!"

Rupee: "Rupee also got a general coupon! Hehe, Commander brother, Rupee is coming in~?"
