Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"Really, I'm not lying. The pain suddenly stopped," Qin Duanyu explained. The intense pain disappeared the moment she left the Flash Spirit, just as suddenly as when she came.

Extremely dangerous targets, stress responses, and inexplicable suppression modules are all related to Shining.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the girl and found that she had her head down, as if she was deliberately avoiding something.

Qin Duanyu wanted to ask for clarification, but considering the vast difference in strength between the two, there was really nothing she could do if the other party refused to tell her. Moreover, with Hermer and Bai Jin nearby, she could only keep her questions to herself for the time being.

“That’s possible. We distracted him just now, and maybe the trigger disappeared. But just to be safe, let’s go to my lab and observe him.” Himer observed for a while and found that he had indeed returned to normal.

"So this illness is like a hiccup; the doctor is suddenly startled and it's fine?" Platinum breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Hiccups? You make it sound so easy. You try it and see, it hurts so much I feel like I'm going to die."

"It hurts so much you want to die? You were clearly enjoying being held in the arms of a beautiful girl, weren't you? Something was pressing against my leg just now, don't tell me it was your weapon."

"How can you slander me out of thin air? I was lying on my back. Even if I were incredibly strong, I couldn't possibly be wrapped around my waist like a belt, could I?"

Shining watched Qin Duanyu's grumbling departure, then clenched her "staff" so tightly that it seemed she wanted to break it.

"sorry."

She stood there for a long time before wiping her eyes and turning to leave.

……

An hour later, in Himer's laboratory.

Ifrit and Qin Duanyu joked around for a while before she was sent for a check-up due to health reasons. Meanwhile, Platinum and Hermes chatted casually, and somehow the conversation turned to skin care.

As a hardcore life scientist, Hermer immediately offered to create a customized skincare product for Platinum, and the two went next door to do it, and wouldn't be back for a while.

In other words, only he and White Dove were left in the laboratory.

"Miss White Dove, we have a score to settle." Qin Duanyu cracked her knuckles. "So, is it delivery now or payment in kind?"

"An error has occurred!" As Qin Duanyu approached menacingly, the white-faced owl seemed to be suddenly stretched out, standing on the spot like a bamboo pole.

"You dead pigeon, stop pretending! Do you know the five ways to stew pigeon soup?" Qin Duanyu remained unmoved by the pigeon's feigned cuteness.

The medical department's operators are capable, but she is clearly not among them.

"The owl wasn't cooing on purpose; it just needs time to collect new photos, and it's already taking them." The white-faced owl took a few steps back and hid behind a chair, only peeking out half of its head.

"Looks like you're going to pay with your body. Hmm, should I go for clear broth or spicy broth? I like spicy food, so I'll go for spicy broth." Qin Duanyu muttered to herself.

"Sorry, these are the photos we agreed on." Unable to bear the pressure, the white-faced owl crawled under the table, rummaged around for a while, and then pulled out a USB drive.

"Let me warn you first, don't try to fool me with copy and paste!"

"Don't worry, Owl isn't that kind of person. He's definitely different from the others."

"That's good. I'll trust you one last time."

Qin Duanyu took the USB drive and hid it in the inner pocket of her shirt.

"Why do you look so strange? Are you feeling unwell?" After seeing Qin Duanyu off, Hemo was tidying up the documents on the table when he noticed that the white-faced owl's expression was off, as if it was trying to hold something back.

"It's nothing. Owl has probably been staying home for too long and wants to apply for a field mission. This two-week mission is pretty good," White Owl said, pointing to a field research assignment.

“Okay, I approve.” Hamer vaguely felt that something was wrong, but then she thought that it would be a good thing to let her go out and wander around, so she nodded in agreement.

……

"You damned pigeon, you tricked me!"

At the same time, piercing screams echoed in the top-floor office.

The number is indeed comparable to the photos of Meteorite, Melantha, and others, and completely different, but... why the hell are they all men? Ansel is one thing, but what the heck are Ace and Scout? And why is there an old man named Ranger?

Do you really think everyone likes this kind of thing?

Oh, my eyes!

Section 39 Chapter Thirty-Nine: Virtuous and Capable

"Lappland?"

"Yes, I'm listening."

Are you planning to drink coffee through your nose?

"Damn, this is Syracuse coffee. Can't I smell the aroma of home?"

After saying that, Lappland fell into a daze again. The number of documents in front of him had not decreased throughout the entire morning, as if the report "training field light bulb is broken, request for replacement" was a century-old problem like Goldbach's conjecture.

"You're really not in the right state for work. Just rest in your dorm this afternoon, and let Bai Jin take over for you." Qin Duanyu sighed and said to the absent-minded dog, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to inform you tonight."

"Alright, then I'll give you two a chance to be alone." Lappland nodded, then stood up blankly and walked outside.

boom!

Does it sound good?

A pleasant-sounding voice indicates a good mind!

Lappland rubbed her swollen forehead, calmly pushed open the door, as if nothing had happened.

Normally, Qin Duanyu would never miss such a good opportunity to mock her, but now, he could only shake his head with a wry smile and continue to deal with the work at hand.

The greatest fun of laning is, of course, the scheming and annoyance of each other. But if someone just mutes the chat and hides in the fountain to AFK, what kind of gaming experience is that?

The reason why Lapland has become like this is actually quite simple.

The land-based ship has entered Lungmen's territory, and Penguin Logistics' dispatched operators will arrive at Rhodes Island tonight.

"Doctor, I ran into Miss Lappland when I arrived. She seemed a bit off. Did you do something just now?" A moment later, Platinum arrived, looking suspicious, as if trying to find something out about him.

Anyone who doesn't have the emotional intelligence of Saria or Nearl could notice Lappland's abnormality; she looked like... a teenage girl going through a relationship crisis.

Did the professor confess his feelings to her?

"The fact that I can still stand perfectly in front of you means that nothing happened." Qin Duanyu shrugged, interrupting Bai Jin's speculation. "Hurry up and write me a few reports. Lappland has been slacking off all morning, and it's exhausted me."

"Hehe, if you don't agree to go to the amusement park with me, then I'm going to slack off today too!" Platinum pulled out two tickets from his pocket and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time," Qin Duanyu replied insincerely, then suddenly remembered something important.

"By the way, inform ACE that he and his team will take a day off to meet the Penguin Logistics agents tonight, and then they will do the mission tomorrow."

"Huh? If the mission is delayed by a day, the reward will be lost a lot. Aren't you worried about that?"

"It's nothing, just a little money. Consider it an insurance purchase."

……

Time always flies when you're with a beautiful girl. When Qin Duanyu looked out the window again, the sun was already setting.

Although not at the same time, they were in the same underground parking garage.

When Qin Duanyu arrived, Amiya, ACE, and others were already waiting there. Their eyes swept across the crowd and they saw that almost all the operators from the Operations Department were there, but Lappland was nowhere to be seen.

Before I could ask any more questions, the sound of a car engine could be heard from afar.

Compared to Black Steel International's military off-road jeeps, Penguin Logistics' vehicle is undoubtedly more down-to-earth, just an ordinary van. If you don't look at the penguin logo on the side, it looks a lot like Qin Duanyu's legendary Wuling Hongguang van from before his time travel.

creak-

The tires screeched as the car drifted sideways in front of everyone.

"The password is 'Long live the Penguin Empire,' are you the employer? Just call me Exusiai. If you want to find something interesting to do, feel free to call me anytime!" A polishing machine stepped out from the passenger seat and greeted Qin Duanyu in a friendly manner.

"Hello, hello, welcome to Rhodes Island!" Qin Duanyu quickly stepped forward and warmly shook hands with her.

As a veteran player since the game's launch, Qin Duanyu's first six-star operator was Exusiai. She relied on her to overcome all obstacles, and it's no exaggeration to say that she made great contributions. Now that she has finally met the real person, it's impossible not to be excited.

Splash!

Then the door was pulled open, and a bread man carrying a large shield jumped out.

"I'm Croissant. Boss, you're so lucky to have such a safe, reliable, and invulnerable operator like me! If you want to renew your contract long-term, I can give you a 20% discount."

“Then Miss Croissant will have to work hard from now on.” Qin Duanyu nodded. In the bread man’s eyes, he saw something similar to that of Kroos.

Another unscrupulous merchant!

The last person to get out of the car was a black-haired, animal-eared Lupo girl.

In stark contrast to her two outgoing and optimistic companions, she gave off a serious and aloof impression.

"Codename Texas, its functions include vehicle driving, cargo handling, and personnel safety..." the black-haired girl said as she walked over, suddenly frowning and her nostrils twitching slightly.

"Did I spray too much perfume?" Qin Duanyu subconsciously sniffed as well, and only smelled the scent of Melanie's special blend perfume.

After all, with the arrival of Penguin Logistics' agents tonight, he has entered the ranks of those who are virtuous and capable. For such a solemn and sacred occasion, he naturally needs to groom himself properly.

“I’m sorry to have bothered you. I might have been a little distracted from driving for so long, but I actually smelled something on you…” Texas shook her head, but her pupils suddenly dilated.

"Sorry, I overslept. I hope I didn't miss the welcome party?"

Even without activating God's perspective, Qin Duanyu knew from the sound that Lapland had finally arrived.

“You…” Texas was immediately furious, her hand already secretly resting on the hilt of her sword.

"Hey, long time no see." Lappland seemed to only then notice Texas, ignoring her wary posture and smiling as she spoke, her tone calm and without a trace of emotion.

Qin Duanyu, who was hesitating whether to let ACE take action, breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that La Gouzi might do something outrageous in a moment of excitement, but now it seemed that she was still normal.

"Boss, you've prepared a welcome party? That's awesome!" The oblivious Exusiai suddenly grabbed Qin Duanyu, not noticing the slightly strange atmosphere between the two dogs. "Let's have some hip-hop, and some baked apple pie~ A perfect life can't stop with parties! No party, no life!"

"Free food and drinks? Thank you, boss, you're so generous!" Croissant's eyes lit up at the news, as if she had never had a full meal before.

"This way, please!" Qin Duanyu snapped out of her daze, stood between Lappland and Texas, and gestured to her operators to take the people away.

Soon, only he and Lappland were left in the garage.

"Dog..."

"what?"

"tissue."

"Tch, it's just that the wind got in my eyes."

"Dog..."
