The Rhodes Island Doctor Is Me, Li Yunlong!

"When I first took over Rhodes Island, the Operators weren't combat-ready. The troops lacked training and combat experience. Most importantly, we were short on high-rarity Operators! We had fewer than ten five-stars across the whole island! Not a single six-star! Even the four-stars were all infected nutcases that other people had discarded. They were all gravely ill, and even then, we couldn't fill two combat squads! I went to Kal'tsit to ask for Orundum. Guess what she said?"

"Kal'tsit said, 'No Orundum. You can have my life! You, Li Yunlong, think my head is worth how many Originium shards? Chop it off and trade it for Orundum!'"

"That's it! That's exactly what I was waiting to hear! In less than a year, Rhodes Island had everything: Exusiai! SilverAsh! The little fire dragon! The little sheep! When you've got plenty of Operators, you can stand tall. Without that kind of backing, would I dare take on the Reunion Movement head-on? Dream on!"

"You get it now, right, Chen?"

Kal'tsit: "Meow meow meow?!"
