Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

After completing the official testing for two action teams at the training ground, Qin Duanyu, seeing that there were two more groups of "tools" to earn money, decided in a great mood to personally fund a party for them.

In the long run, the benefits from these "tools" far exceed the cost of a meal. With a few words of encouragement, they can be made even more dedicated to their work. It seems like a sure-fire way to make money.

These aren't a bunch of newbie operators, they're practically walking LMD!

However, in Angelina's eyes, Qin Duanyu's cheerful demeanor after going out to party with a group of boys further confirmed that he was a closeted gay man.

The more people crave something, the more they lack it, the more they want to show it off and display it to others.

For example, a girl who posts pictures of herself having afternoon tea at a high-end hotel or driving a luxury car like a BMW 10 Series on her WeChat Moments every day is probably not a socialite or a wealthy woman; she is likely someone who got the job through a group chat with a dozen or so other people.

True socialites and wealthy women would never flaunt such things, because for them it's just part of daily life. Who would be so idle as to show off something "ordinary" every day?

On the contrary, if they suddenly feel like it and go to a roadside hole-in-the-wall restaurant for a meal, they might find the food delicious and post it on their WeChat Moments, because this kind of experience is something rare that they don't usually have.

Similarly, if it were a slightly more normal guy, like one of her former high school classmates, with a beautiful girlfriend like Texas or Lappland, it would be strange if he didn't show off his love every day and make others feel like they're being fed dog food. But the Doctor never shows it in front of everyone.

This undoubtedly shows that he has no desire whatsoever for dating girls. Coupled with the way he left with the male operators in such an intimate manner, Angelina couldn't help but gasp.

There's a problem, a very big problem, a huge problem!

As for why the PhD student deliberately concealed his identity and even flirted with women as a cover, it must be because he was afraid of being alienated by his male subordinates.

You know, even the most gay-ish Tsukimi has an ambiguous relationship with Miss Zilan. Most of them are straight, so if they find out their boss has that kind of weird fetish... Sigh, even though Dr. Saria and Dr. Himer live together, no one says anything strange, so why is it so weird after the genders are switched?

Shivering and cold, when will boys finally be able to stand up for themselves?

Angelina, whose thinking was distorted, did not realize that Qin Duanyu did not belong to the category of normal men.

The reason he doesn't show affection in public is simply because he's been dating or having ambiguous relationships with so many girls that he can't even count them on two hands. Of course, this is different from the behavior of a virgin who has never even held a girl's hand and finally managed to find a girlfriend.

So what's the point of showing off things that you never lack and consider everyday?

"Angelina, if you've grown to the point where you can still freely unleash Originium Arts while daydreaming, then you don't need to come to class anymore." Skyfire's slightly displeased voice pulled Angelina back to reality.

"I'm sorry, Miss Tianhuo, I've been having some things on my mind lately, and I'm sorry to have troubled you." She glanced at Tianhuo with a complicated expression, and then sincerely apologized.

Although this genius sorcerer is somewhat sharp-tongued, after spending some time with him, it becomes clear that he is simply not very good at interacting with others, which is why he uses a slightly awkward way to express his concern—what is commonly known as tsundere.

"Alright, just copy the lesson plan first. Ask me anything you don't understand right away. I need to go back and do my experiments." Seeing this, Tianhuo didn't say anything more and lowered his head to play with the pendant on his chest.

Even though the other girl had also experienced the desk incident, after discussing it privately, the girls realized that Angelina was just a bystander who was accidentally dragged into the situation. Moreover, after witnessing Qin Duanyu's worst side, she was completely excluded from the list of potential competitors.

People are naturally much nicer to girls who pose no threat.

"It's alright, thanks to Teacher Tianhuo's excellent teaching skills, there are no problems for now." Angelina said with a smile, then looked at the blue crystal pendant, "What a beautiful piece of jewelry, it suits you very well."

“This was a gift from the doctor. He said it’s made of blue spinel, so it won’t burn even if I lose control occasionally.” A hint of joy flashed across Skyfire’s face, but he quickly put on a nonchalant expression. “Although I’ve seen more valuable jewelry than this, I’m only wearing it because it was a gift from the doctor.”

It must be exhausting to be around someone who's always clinging to you like that. Angelina couldn't help but purse her lips as she watched Tianhuo treat the pendant like a precious treasure, as if it were something she wanted to keep in her mouth.

I don't know whether to sympathize with the Doctor or with Miss Skyfire who was kept in the dark.

Speaking of gifts, she subconsciously touched her lips. The Chantilly Silky No. 43 coral lipstick that Qin Duanyu gave her when he was using the alias Mr. Quin was still being used to this day. There was no way around it; that shade was just too perfect for her skin tone.

What serious guy knows so much about the things girls use? Her high school girlfriends' boyfriends didn't even know that lipsticks had shades, but the PhD not only knows how to choose accessories, but also has extensive knowledge of lipsticks, perfumes and even skincare products.

Okay, this adds another piece of evidence that the doctor is a closeted gay man.

Normally, it would be very unethical to gossip about something like this behind someone's back. However, Melantha, Skyfire, Blue Poison, and even the seemingly aloof Miss Texas were all very kind to Angelina, which made her feel extremely conflicted, unsure whether she should tell the truth.

Distracted, she packed her things and left the classroom to return to her dormitory.

“Miss Angelina? No wonder Aphrodite is so radiant today. So it was you who came. Is it because the previous prophecy has come true and you've come to fulfill your vow?” A slightly familiar voice interrupted Angelina’s thoughts.

She looked up in confusion and saw that Xingji was holding the crystal ball, leaning calmly against the door frame.

It turned out that I had unknowingly arrived at the human resources department's office area.

"Come on, what do you mean by 'good luck in love'? I'm already so annoyed by everything that's been going on lately," Angelina said, shaking her head in annoyance.

A few days ago, I came here with Beagle and the others to do astrology. Miss Star was very certain that her love life was on the rise and that she would soon have the opportunity to find a partner, so she could wander around more often.

Little did she know that she would take on a part-time logistics job every day and wander around outside in the evenings, where she would witness the Doctor and a handsome Sarkaz man getting intimate. Could it be that stumbling upon someone else's good time is also a kind of romantic luck?

"How could that be? Miss Beagle and Miss Finn's stories have both come true. You can ask them if you don't believe me." Since it concerned the brand and family secret techniques, Xingji put away his relaxed expression and said in a serious tone.

She casually took out her celestial globe and tried to observe Angelina's fate, but the plot lines that were quite clear a few days ago suddenly became blurry.

Could it be that I really misjudged her, and Miss Angelina just had a stroke of good luck with love?

Section 306, Chapter Twenty-Six: I Want to Straighten Up the Doctor

"You mean Miss Star? Her predictions are indeed very accurate. Klose recently discovered a hidden spot for slacking off, which made it difficult for me to catch her several times. However, with Miss Star's guidance, she was easily found. She was a great help."

"Wuhu, Miss Xingji said that good luck would come soon, and then Team Leader Melantha seemed to have some personal matters to attend to, so she gave everyone a long vacation. As a result, Andercher and the others took Katie for a drive in the wild and played on the sand dune sled for a long time. They were so happy."

"Miss Star said my academic luck was very good, and as a result, in an exam I was not very confident about, I guessed all the multiple-choice questions correctly, and I also got the essay questions right by accident. Not only did Instructor Doberman praise me, but even the professor patted me on the head!"

Just as Xingji began to doubt her own skills, Angelina had secretly sent text messages to her friends Finn, Katie, and Beagle to confirm the situation. She found that this astrologer was indeed quite capable. Seeing her frowning and deep in thought, she couldn't help but worry about her own future.

"Hmm, Miss Star, what exactly did you see?" After a while, seeing that the other party had put away the celestial globe, she tentatively asked.

"Come in and sit down so we can talk slowly. Things are a bit complicated, so you'd better be prepared." Xingji's tone, like a doctor about to announce a diagnosis to a patient, immediately made Angelina's heart jump.

The last divination was just a chance encounter in the cafeteria, where we casually did a few calculations at the table. But now Miss Star has actually brought her to the divination booth. It seems her future is in big trouble.

Stepping into the room filled with a mystical atmosphere, smelling the faint scent of sandalwood, and looking at the mysterious Xingji with half his face hidden in the shadows, the JK girl's expression grew increasingly serious; she was clearly completely intimidated by this demeanor.

“The troubles you’ve been having lately probably have little to do with yourself, but rather something has happened to the people around you that’s causing you so much distress and confusion.” Xingji stared intently at Angelina, his empty gaze seemingly piercing her very soul. “Yes, if not handled properly, the consequences could be quite severe.”

“Yes, that’s right… so I’m a little unsure what to do. Can you tell me the answer?” Angelina, whose thoughts had been exposed, asked with a sincere expression, hoping that the astrologer could give her an answer.

Whether the Doctor likes it or not is strictly speaking none of Angelina's business, but if this gets out, it will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Lappland, Skyfire, and Melantha.

The fact that they crawled under the desk shows how deep the girls' feelings for the Doctor are. If they can't withstand this blow and turn to the dark side, deciding to kill the Doctor and then commit suicide together, then... Rhodes Island might be in complete chaos.

Therefore, Angelina hopes to find a way to make everyone happy.

"No, no, no, the development and outcome of that matter depend entirely on your choice. In fact, the answer lies in your heart." Xingji pointed to Angelina's chest and said noncommittally.

"What do you mean? Please explain more clearly." Angelina frowned. If she had any clue, she wouldn't be sitting here.

"As the saying goes, anything is possible with human effort. Astrology does not show what is a given fact, but rather the one with the highest probability among all possibilities. For example, I discovered that a certain gentleman had good fortune, but he stayed at home for the next few days and did not go anywhere, not even buying a lottery ticket. Naturally, his good fortune could not come true."

"Does Miss Starlight mean that I should take action instead of simply waiting?"

"That's right. A person's fate has to take into account... cough cough, anyway, those who know, know; and I won't reveal the secrets of heaven to those who don't. In short, since heaven has let you run into this kind of thing, it means that you have the corresponding potential. If you give full play to your strengths and abilities, you will definitely be able to solve the problem satisfactorily."

"Miss Starry Night..."

"The clues given by the starry sky are clear enough; if you're too impatient, you can easily miss them."

“I know what to do now, thank you, Miss Star.” Facing the enigmatic Star, Angelina pondered for a while, then suddenly seemed to have figured something out, giving off an expression of enlightenment.

"I'm glad I could help you, no need to thank me," Xingji replied modestly, then watched Angelina leave.

Fortunately, my grandfather had taught me the tricks of street fortune telling, which allowed me to fool the little girl and avoid ruining the family's reputation in astrology. Xingji let out a long sigh, maintaining his inscrutable demeanor.

In fact, she never understood what Angelina was worried about. They were clearly not on the same wavelength, yet they could talk to each other and chat. This was the simplest way to read people's expressions in street fortune telling.

First, she noticed that although Angelina's expression was anxious, her clothes and appearance were not much different from when they last met, indicating that this distressing matter was definitely not directly related to Angelina and had not affected her life, so it was more likely the experience of someone close to her.

In Xingji's view, for these young girls, the so-called "sky-falling" major events were mostly things like failing Miss Dubin's test or having an unclear attitude from the boy they liked. They were just going along with Angelina's wishes and casually said that the consequences would be terrible in order to increase their credibility.

Afterwards, Angelina indeed showed a sincere expression of seeking advice and had already entered the rhythm of Astral.

At this point, Xingji's identity as a human resources operator came into play. Due to her professional habits, she had read most of the operators' public information, including Angelina's. This saved her the trouble of indirectly obtaining information and allowed her to make direct inferences.

Angelina's exceptional talent has earned her recognition from many caster operators, so there are no issues with her studies. Her friends also don't seem to have any concerns in this regard. Therefore, the most likely issue is her romantic life, such as discovering that the man her friend likes already has a partner.

Once you have a general direction, the rest is much easier.

As an astrologer with morality and conscience, Xingji would never be like those unscrupulous swindlers who would use blessed artifacts to trick people into buying them, nor did she intend to encourage Angelina to break up a perfectly good couple. So she decided to become a riddle teller and let Angelina make her own decision.

Anyway, it's just a little squabble between teenage girls. No matter what she chooses, it will at most develop into a soap opera plot. It's not like it'll lead to someone's death.

However, Angelina interpreted these words in a different way.

What are the corresponding potential qualities? What are their own strengths and abilities?

Among the girls around the Doctor are the gentle and elegant Miss Lappland, who hides a wild side; the kind and considerate Miss Blue Poison, who is introverted; and the heroic and taciturn Miss Texas... However, although these girls are outstanding in appearance and have different temperaments, they cannot make the Doctor give up his strange hobby.

This undoubtedly shows that the doctor doesn't like their taste at all, and when Angelina thought about herself, she discovered a blind spot: there were no high school girls like her among them.

Got it, destiny dictates that I will use the charm of a young girl to straighten out the PhD student!

Chapter 27, Section 307: It's alright, I'm relieved.

Two days later, in the special care area of ​​the medical department.

"Miss Himer, Miss Seria, how is Lappland doing?" Qin Duanyu asked anxiously to the Rhine Life staff as she stood outside the ward.

Under Qin Duanyu's various tactics, Texas was almost completely exploited and had all the advantages taken from them. With only home plate remaining, which could fall at any moment, Texas unfortunately but also fortunately got a rotation.

According to the previous arrangement, Lappland, who had successfully replaced Exusiai after some backroom deals and was supposed to have nearly a week to spend with her, was to become the new assistant. However, she was hospitalized due to health reasons.

“Doctor, there’s no need to be too nervous. Miss Lappland’s condition is very stable. It’s just that after using a new suppressant for the first time, she will experience some fatigue and drowsiness. That’s why we’ve had her stay for observation for a while.” Hemer understood Qin Duanyu’s feelings very well and patiently explained.

He carefully examined the medical report that Saria handed him and found that Lappland's various indicators, especially dangerous data such as fusion rate and crystal density, had decreased significantly compared to when he first arrived, which finally put his mind at ease.

"Can the side effects of this drug be eliminated? I hope to distribute it in large quantities to the operators." Qin Duanyu continued to flip through the files; the next few pages contained reports about the new drug.

The first time you take it, you may experience drowsiness for anywhere from five hours to three days. The side effects will gradually subside after multiple doses, but it is much more effective than most other suppressive drugs on the market.

While this might temporarily reduce combat effectiveness, it would greatly extend the lifespan of the operators, making it easier to exploit them in the long run. Qin Duanyu, being a ruthless old capitalist, naturally understood the difference between what was important and what was not.

“Even though neither I nor White Owl experienced any side effects after taking it, when observing clinical cases, even Mr. Boris, whom you brought back, with a physique no less powerful than Saria's, showed signs of fatigue and drowsiness. I’m quite puzzled.” Himer pushed up his glasses, revealing a rare look of confusion.

"That's because you and the White-faced Owl will suddenly fall asleep in various situations even without taking medication, so there's no sign of anything unusual..."

Bang!

The dull thud of metal striking stone was heard, and Saria now sported a strangely shaped hat on her head.

Hammer's available drone count -1.

"Alright, alright, let's call this potion the Owl Potion from now on. I'll go in and check on Lappland first, so I won't disturb you two any longer." Smiling, Qin Duanyu left the two room to flirt and entered the ward.
