Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"Ah, let's forget it. My poor acting skills are not worthy of your masterpiece."

Beichen decisively refused. He was joking and helping Nian to make a movie. It was tantamount to helping an evil tyrant and collaborating with others...

Why does it feel like I have been scolded, and I don't care about it anymore, because I can't help Nian make a movie anyway.

Nian looked a little regretful. She put away the camera, walked up to Beichen and said with a smile.

"Oh, it's a pity. I think you still have potential in this area, but you can't force yourself in this area. After all, if you do this, the movie will not look good."

Seeing Nian say this seriously, Beichen couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Sister, is there still room for improvement in your movie? And that’s not the actor’s problem.

But Beichen didn't say it out loud, joking, what if Nian dragged him to eat super spicy hot pot.

"But, I really need your help. Don't worry, the reward will definitely not disappoint you."

Looking at Beichen who was standing still, Nian said.

"Ah? Why do you need my help? No, I'm getting paid!"

Beichen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

Although it was expected, this request came too quickly.

According to common sense, shouldn't we cultivate goodwill first and then release tasks?

But since there is a reward, it is still Sister Nian's reward, so now I have to accept the task.

"It's no big deal, just help me find something."

Nian turned a small but well-made dagger in his hand and said to Beichen with a smile.

"I thought it was a big deal, but I helped with this little thing!"

Beichen said, patting his chest.

"Haha, it's so refreshing. I'll treat you to hot pot another day. Eat it once and you'll never forget it."

Nian put away the dagger, patted Beichen on the shoulder with a smile, and took out a pile of hot pot restaurant coupons from somewhere.

"This is my favorite. Their chili is quite strong. There is also this one. Although the chili is not as good as the first one, it is large and filling. How about that? And..."

Nian immediately enthusiastically introduced various hot pot restaurants in Longmen to Beichen, as well as other night market carts in Longmen.

But they are all inseparable from one word, spicy.

After listening to Nian talking in his ear for a long time, Beichen finally reacted and asked Nian.

"That's not right. I've been talking for a long time. What is the thing you want me to find? Where was it lost? What does it look like?"

Nian was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Oh, why are you asking so many questions? Just find it."

stare~

Under Beichen's gaze, Nian finally told the truth.

“I don’t know what it looks like, I don’t know where it was lost, and I don’t know what it was.”

"...You don't know anything. Are you just having fun?!"

Beichen took out Chengying and looked at Nian angrily.

"Oh, it's going to be lost soon. I'll definitely find it then... Wait, it's in your hand."

Nian originally planned to talk nonsense with Beichen, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at Chengying on Beichen's hand.

In an instant, Nian flashed in front of Beichen and touched Chengying's sword, which shocked Beichen.

"Wow, what a great sword. It's actually better than the one I forged. Where did you get this thing?"

"He found it himself."

Beichen answered honestly, and Chengying also shook twice, seeming to confirm Beichen's statement.

Nian became even more interested. After receiving the consent, he took Cheng Ying from Beichen and sighed in surprise.

"I didn't expect it to be a spiritual sword. I haven't seen such a treasure for a long time."

Cheng Ying shook Nian's hand twice more.

"Hey, you are really a treasure. How about I help you strengthen it?"

Nian held Chengying in his hand and looked at Beichen and asked.

"What, this thing can be enhanced? Chengying, what do you think?"

"It turns out this sword is called Chengying, what a good name."

Nian praised, and then a golden fluid appeared on the fingertips of her right hand, spreading towards the sword.

In an instant, the golden liquid disappeared. Beichen looked at Cheng Ying and found that he did not seem to have any obvious changes.

"Haha, don't look at it. You can't tell anything. Just pick it up."

Nian threw Chengying back to Beichen. Beichen took Chengying back to the warehouse and continued to ask.

"So, can you explain a little more about the lost thing that you asked me to help find?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Nian suddenly looked serious and asked Beichen solemnly.

"Really want to know."

Beichen nodded affirmatively.

"Do you really, really want to know?"

"……real."

Nian looked at the silent Beichen, sighed, and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that I couldn't stop you, so I can only tell you the whole story."

"That starts a long time ago."

"There has long been a folk legend that every time the New Year approaches, a giant beast called Nian will wake up."

"She will appear unexpectedly a few hours before the new year and attack the nearest mobile city."

"Unfortunately, this year the dragon gate happens to be near the area where she was last slumbered."

"In other words, once she wakes up, Longmen will be the first to bear the brunt."

"What's even more terrifying is that no matter what kind of weapons or Origin Stone skills, they can't harm her at all."

"only!"

Nian's voice suddenly rose several degrees.

"The only way to deal with her is with chili peppers and firecrackers. The hotter the chili peppers, the better, and the louder the fireworks, the better!"

"Stop, stop, stop."

Beichen stopped Nian from further speculation and said somewhat speechlessly: "Are you sure this thing drives Nian away instead of attracting Nian?"

"Hey, your guess is so accurate. You haven't peeked at my script, right? Later on, the protagonist uses fireworks to deal with Nian."

"Of course, Longmen's chili isn't spicy enough... Bah, bah, bah, you've led me astray again, can't you tell me more about it?"

"Oh, it's not like I won't tell you when the time comes. Goodbye~"

Nian left these words and turned around to leave.

"Then can you answer my last question?"

Beichen called out the New Year.

Nian also turned around very cooperatively and replied with a smile: "Of course."

"Then...is finding something important to you?"

Beichen hesitated for a moment, looked into Nian's eyes and asked.

"Who knows, maybe it's important."

Nian turned around and Beichen could no longer see the expression on her face.

"correct."

Nian took two steps, turned around, and turned his back to the sun.

In the shadow, Beichen clearly saw a pair of golden pupils, and the fiery gaze made Beichen reluctant to look directly.

"My name is, Nian."
