ER00-10 Early Spring
Ahhhhhhh!
The singing of whale is so loud that it makes Pulao roll to the ground.
The hard floor helps Pulao to wake up. She holds on to the cabinet, finally reaching the whale-shaped alarm clock.
When the room is quiet again, Pulao finally gets rid of the drowsiness. She combs her hair with her hand and sighs at the messy bed.
Sigh... I still can't get used to the morning alarm clock.
Speaking of which, I haven't slept so well in a long time.
Hehe. I feel like I had a great dream.
There were many familiar people and things, but I can't remember...
Whatever, the ending must be good. Otherwise, I wouldn't be smirking like this. I don't often do this!
Wake up, Pulao. We need another round of patrol before the celebration starts.
What, is it this late already?
Pulao quickly jumps off the bed and takes the coat of Pulao Crew from the wall.
What's this...
When her fingers run through the "Pu" on her coat, a calming mechanoid flashes through her memory.
It feels so familiar. But why the bitter feeling...
Are you ready? I'm coming in.
Don't open the door! I'm coming right now!
It's the annual celebration again. Can't you be a little happier, Yazi?
Like this?
Don't push her, Pulao. Her face is always like this.
Fine. Speaking of which, can you stop hanging upside down? The children in the West District have complained quite a few times.
Little brats...
Sir, our market research indicates your prune drink will continue to be very popular. Make sure you stock up on it.
Of course, I learned it from Uncle Fu. It would be a disgrace if people don't like my drinks—how can I claim to inherit his techniques then?
By the way, would you like to try some shacha noodles first?
Thanks, but I'm fine.
Ah, I'll...
Ahem!
I'll try them after I finish work!
Mr. Simpie, please don't unload your goods at the intersection. Can you move them to the side? We have more ship-repairing materials coming through later.
Let's get working, Birdie.
Alright. One, two, three, go!
Wanna go for a drink and performance after work? I heard the East District recently had a decent troupe of sword dancers.
Let us treat you. After all, you gave us a hand when we were completely lost.
No thanks, today is just a beginning. There are still a lot to do in the days to come.
Okay then. We look forward to continuing working with you next year.
Me too.
Chiwen is always the busiest at the celebration.
We have the most trading activities going on at this time. It's better to be busy than sorry.
What is Bixi doing? He never gave me a logistics plan. I have to handle everything.
Stop talking behind my back. I just reinforced all the equipment for tonight's performance. There is still a lot to fix on the ship.
Hmph.
Qiuniu, I finished the firework that you asked me. I only have limited materials, the end result may not meet your requirement...
It's okay. We don't have a lot of supplies to waste. The entertainment budget is tight.
Where are those 4 newbies in your team? I didn't see them with you today.
Babylonia helped to end our torment. But we can only depend on ourselves from now on.
To do so, work-life balance is very important. So I gave them a day off today.
You are thinking too much. I only want them to follow you so you don't get distracted by the toys and snacks.
I won't!
Really? But your panda wallet is full of Grubs.
Whaaat?
Okay, enough chatting.
Alright, I'll go check the data station and Yazi will watch the roof. I'll leave the dock to you, Pulao.
Sure. After patrolling the dock, I'll also search a 10km radius. I may be back late.
Pulao waves goodbye to the other Kowloong Crew. The morning sun shines upon her hair, leaving a golden glow.
With a smile on her face, she turns around and starts the day's work.
Chaofeng just had a late night and still has to patrol. Must not let down the guard when it comes to intelligence...
Chiwen and Bixi haven't used the sleeping pod for two weeks.
Not only the Dragon Children, everyone on the Nighter has been working hard since that day... It's been tough for all of us.
No, it's not the time to be sentimental.
I must help and understand others, and put everything into action!
Hmm... A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! Here I go!
We came at the right time. Everyone is preparing for the celebration, it seems.
Aren't you going to check it out? Perhaps you will bump into the old friends you miss!
If you want to see some old friends, you go yourself.
But I must warn you first. We are only going to cause unnecessary panic if we show up in public.
Alas. Your "noble" Kowloong identity seems to cause more trouble now.
You said you were just going to glance from afar. Now let's go.
Okie dokie. Hope everyone has a wonderful New Year.
