The doctor suffers from amnesia, but not complete amnesia.

Witt asked in a deep voice.

Now that things have come to this, there's no turning back. This incident will inevitably spread, and if he doesn't forcefully question Qiao Yelan, his authority as speaker will be questioned.

"I have a big business deal I'd like to discuss with His Excellency the Speaker, but unfortunately, he refuses to see me. So, I'll have to go talk to His Majesty instead—here, this warrant is part of the deal."

Witt's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show any weakness on his face. He hadn't expected Qiao Yelan to say such a thing, and he certainly hadn't expected that the Tsar's warrant was only part of the deal...

"Since Mr. Qiao Yelan has already reached a deal with His Majesty, it seems I can only express my regret—perhaps we will have the opportunity to make a deal next time."

The man uttered a series of fair diplomatic remarks, the subtext being that he was preparing to see the guests off.

"What, Your Excellency the Speaker, don't you want to know what kind of deal I made with His Majesty?"

I miss you so much.

But Witt couldn't show it.

He was certain that Qiao Yelan still needed his help, and that everything he was doing now was just a feint by the other party to get him to speak first.

"Do not want to."

"Ok."

Qiao Yelan simply nodded and then began to carefully admire the interior decoration of Witt's office.

As he looked around, he seemed to feel thirsty, so Qiao Yelan poured himself a glass of water, just like he was at home.

Speaker Witt was starting to lose his composure; he had never been right in predicting the opponent's moves.

“Mr. Qiao Yelan, if there’s nothing else, I have official business to attend to.”

"Ah, no rush, Your Excellency Speaker. If you want to do your work, just do it. Don't be so polite with me."

Polite my ass! Who the hell is this office?!

The man almost ejaculated.

This made him start to doubt his own judgment—was this guy really asking for his help, or was he just here to cause him trouble?

However, one cannot speak, nor can one speak in the form of a question.

The two sides just kept at it.

after an hour.

Qiao Yelan suddenly revealed a relaxed smile.

“Speaker Witt, it has been a very relaxing and pleasant conversation with you. I’m so glad we finally reached an agreement.”

Witt was completely bewildered by Qiao Yelan's words.

You're making it sound like we really talked for an hour...

His hand suddenly tightened.

There were only the two of them at this meeting.

And the truth, naturally, is known only to the two of them—

A man carrying the Tsar's warrant walked in and then toured Witte's office for an hour...

Who would believe that?

If they believe that Qiao Yelan and Victor had a private conversation that lasted an hour, then they would also believe that the two had reached, or at least had, some consensus.

Otherwise, given his current status and power, even if Qiao Yelan held the Tsar's order, would he be able to talk to Qiao Yelan for so long?

Didn't they order the people to be driven away long ago?

P.S.: I know you're all in a hurry, but please don't rush.

Because the author is waiting for Xiao Ran's homework (laughs).

I usually start working on the story the next day when I have assignments. Then I'll work it out with the outline. As for specific issues, it depends on the amount. If there are a lot, I'll add a free chapter tomorrow to discuss it. If there are few, I'll put them in the PS.

But it doesn't matter, it's just fanfiction anyway.

Being betrayed by the authorities was also part of the plan.

I saw some discussion in other groups before—can I understand it as, "The Doctor sent out an agent, Kal'tsit, to gather intelligence, and she developed a romantic relationship with the local natives and then defected?"

It makes sense that Terra was euthanized.

Regarding the new plot

Having finished reading it, it's not considered a backstabbing by the author.

My only concern has always been whether other characters will be out of character (OOC), because many of the character descriptions at Hypergryph are only superficial, and I have to dig deeper into the descriptions myself—for example, in the New Year's plot, I said that the one who had the biggest impact on the book was actually the Old Master.

For example, I saw the birth dates of Chen and Talulah and quickly posted them to add a patch, because if these are out-of-character (OOC), it would be considered as creating new characters instead of fan art.

As for the new storyline, the old lynx and I aren't that different, right? When the Doctor isn't around, I'm all set; when the Doctor comes, I take off.

Theresa is also a simple, kind person, not involved in any conspiracy theories or anything like that, much like the character I created.

Theresis is a hero of the Sarkaz, and I designed her with that in mind, only with an added touch of sister complex.

As for the Doctor—but I'm writing fan fiction, not Ark Chronicles, so there have to be differences.

I think the current situation is great: the protagonist is in stark contrast to the original work, and the other characters don't have major out-of-character (OOC) moments; their changes only occur because they are connected to the protagonist—isn't that the appeal of fanfiction?

Moreover, this section is similar to my outline. The death of Theresa was also caused by Qiao Yelan, which was already foreshadowed in the first few chapters of the book.

The difference between Qiao Yelan and the Doctor is the difference between fan fiction and official fiction; otherwise, what would I write about?

What's there to argue about? People come to read books to see a different kind of PhD, right?

The train problem?

Player: I have a plunger in my hand, why are you looking at me?

Qiao Yelan: Hello, I am Train.

Please send your votes, swords, or tips. I finally managed to get this volume on Ursus and Casimir to my satisfaction, and now I can resume updating once a day.

Chapter 167 Tied to the Pirate Ship

"Is this your purpose?"

Speaker Witt was somewhat annoyed.

If this guy leaves me today, then whatever he does next will inevitably lead others to suspect me.

Before I even got to eat the meat or drink the soup, I was already being accused of something.

Damn it, is there no law anymore?!

"Your Excellency Speaker, everyone is very dissatisfied with the nobles. I just intend to do something that pleases our friends and hurts our enemies. This will benefit all of us."

Witt stared at Qiao Yelan.

He doesn't object to taking advantage of nobles—but if he doesn't get a share of the spoils, he'll be furious.

"What did His Majesty promise you?"

"At next week's routine meeting, His Majesty will promote me to Minister of Imperial Industry."

The speaker frowned.

It is His Majesty's power to promote someone and assign them a position—but whether that person can hold the position and effectively manage the department is another matter entirely.

"Then, I will initiate an industrial reform within the Ursus Empire."

Witt's brow furrowed even deeper.

Ursus' industrial reforms had actually been carried out once before, but only half of it was completed.

His Majesty Vladimir once consolidated the Empire's heavy industry, importing a large number of industrial machine tools and skilled workers from outside, laying a solid foundation for the Ursus army.

Undoubtedly, this was a successful reform, and the Imperial Army's subsequent invincibility relied on the high-speed production of the Imperial military industry—but this also led to Ursus's industry being uneven from the very beginning.

"Reforms in light industry?"

Qiao Yelan nodded.

The industrial reforms of that time benefited heavy industries, and the mining sector, which accounted for the majority of the profits, was monopolized by nobles early on. So, it was more of a feast for the nobility than an industrial reform in Ursus.

One important reason for industrial reform is that the market forces the development of productivity.

Vladimir used the Ursus army to provide a market for the nobles' factories, and the army he armed with these "products" was able to extract enough resources from the war to give back to the nobles, so the nobles devoted themselves to expanding the factories with even greater enthusiasm.

Therefore, when Vladimir issued his decree on industrial reforms, the nobles wholeheartedly supported it—because they could see the potential for increased production capacity from such reforms, and they firmly believed that the empire's army could bring them even greater profits.

However, His Majesty ultimately lost, and Ursus was forced to wake up from his dream of war.

Witt already understood what was going on.

He stared at Qiao Yelan, then slowly began to speak.
