In Arknights, besides Sister 42, who is the only True God at the very top of the strength tier list, there are also the legendary Three Phantoms.
They are—Saria's first skill, Saria's second skill, and Saria's third skill.
That's right, Miss Saria, no, Saria… she is truly too strong!
For Goki, a former FW Doctor whose brain is basically wrinkle-free and whose pioneering efforts mostly relied on copying, Operator Saria is synonymous with reliability.
Her first skill, a single-target high-burst heal, allows her to perform the work of a Medical Operator, perfectly coordinating with a certain big cat behind her who extends a chainsaw from between her legs.
Her second skill can heal as many as needed, with a large quantity and range, far superior to the fake area-of-effect heal that only heals three at a time.
Of course, the most important is her third skill; enemies are not only slowed but also have their Spell Resistance weakened. With a constant stream of Spell DPS, Saria remains a steadfast presence, her Sunder called a mini-Calcification!
Besides skill books filled with aircraft, and those that prohibit the use of the transfer mall, no matter what stage it is, throwing her in is always the right choice.
Furthermore, due to the Rhine Lab Charging Armor's ability to increase attack and defense over time, this Defender Operator's output is also not low, often accidentally knocking out enemies she intended to stall… leading to situations where she achieves an Imperial Guard-killing effect, resulting in a large group of people being instantly defeated, which is not uncommon.
There's no helping it, she's the Rhine Lab Fist King with four excellent and one outstanding attribute; isn't it normal for a Wyvern to have high output?
In short, Goki deeply respects this woman, who is resolute as a diamond, powerful, resilient, and extremely principled and responsible.
Of course, respect is one thing, but a wife is still a wife; that won't change!
"My main purpose in coming to Rhine Lab is to explore the application and configuration of ancient Originium Arts, to recreate lost Originium Arts. My graduation thesis is on this area of research. Whether it's Sargon or Iberia, these countries, which seem backward to ordinary people, hold secrets worth exploring—"
Goki, with a proper smile, explained his answer to the question, "What research do you hope to conduct at Rhine Lab?"
Of course, as an Old Hunter who was dragged into hunts against his will, he wouldn't say such eloquent words.
From his resume to his interview answers, everything was written by Kaltsit.
As a thousand-year-old Old Lynx, she has traveled across the continent, changing identities and jobs far more than a thousand times. She has been a security consultant, a sanatorium maid, and even pretended to be a Laterano Cultivator, flirting with young maidens in Victoria.
Interviewing for a job, for Kaltsit, was as simple as drinking soup.
"...The excavation of ancient Originium Arts is no simple task, Mr. Goki. Rhine Lab has already lost the life of an excellent researcher because of it. Your ambition is respectable, but during your research, you must pay attention to protecting your own safety."
At the desk, Saria nodded earnestly, faithfully recording Goki's answer.
During the preceding period, she strictly followed Rhine Lab's interview process, questioning this job applicant named Goki with her prepared questions.
No issues. An ambitious, knowledgeable fresh graduate—everyone who comes to Rhine Lab is a Genius.
Goki even discussed his research in Iberia with her, describing a sea Saria had never seen, filling Ifrit, who sat beside Saria, with curiosity.
His resume was very clear, all credit records were spotless, and Saria had also read his thesis, which indeed contained unique and seasoned insights, not like a novice, but rather like an experienced researcher.
However, considering the many Geniuses around her, Saria did not become suspicious.
In fact, if it weren't for her overly meticulous personality, for the only employee who applied to join the Defense Department, anyone else would have hired him directly.
"Isn't this great, Saria? Don't be so troublesome. Goki is different from those people in white coats—I can feel it. Just like you and Silence, he can also use fire!"
Beside them, Ifrit, who was currently just an ordinary child, kept shaking Saria's arm. Since meeting Goki, she had become a 'little cotton jacket' with her elbow turned outwards, clamoring for Saria to pass his interview.
Saria could only offer a faint, somewhat troubled smile as she tried to soothe the Little Fire Dragon.
"Ifrit, quiet down. I'm working…"
This awkward scene was very much like someone whose partner was away on a business trip and whose parents couldn't come, so they had to bring their child to work.
"Miss Ifrit, have faith in me. I believe Director Saria is already prepared to hire me—"
Facing these two who often partnered together to vaporize Bosses, these
