Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"There's no other way. My antidote is in the closet. If you help, you might get poisoned. So I have to ask the Doctor to do it for me." Blue Poison pointed to the colorful patch on her neck and said helplessly.

But the corners of his mouth curled up in an incredibly eerie arc.

This was the first time she had ever felt that being a poison was actually quite nice.

Chapter 6, Section 112: Exusiai (Passing By)

Looking at that smooth, white back, Qin Duanyu swallowed hard.

He's in a complete panic right now.

Being so conscious, without clothing to obstruct the view, and with someone watching, to have such intimate contact with a cute girl is incredibly exciting.

Squeeze a little sunscreen onto her palm, rub it to spread it, and then, with a determined heart, gently applied it to her face.

Although they had held hands or hugged each other in the past, the delicate and smooth touch in his palm still gave Qin Duanyu a jolt of electricity. He tried to tell himself not to get excited and slowly began to rub his palm.

Everything was fine up to that point. Although Blue Poison was a little shy, everything was still within her acceptable range. Besides, there was a third wheel watching, which greatly diminished the joy of the Doctor helping her apply sunscreen.

Despite his thoughts, every time Qin Duanyu's palm swept across, the exceptionally intense heat would cause Lan Du's body to tremble slightly, and he barely managed to suppress any strange noises.

For the three people present, those few minutes felt like hours. When Qin Duanyu finished applying the last patch of skin, she was surprised to find herself covered in sweat.

Blue Poison wasn't much better off; his face was as red as a tomato, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

As for Platinum, the blanket under her feet had a large hole torn in it.

"Hey, Miss Platinum hasn't left yet? Sorry, I thought you went to the concert after applying sunscreen." Blue Poison recovered and looked at Platinum in surprise, as if she had just noticed her.

"Oh, my favorite band just finished their performance, so I'm just sitting here and resting for a bit." Platinum shrugged and said with a helpless expression, "Since you and the Doctor have nothing to do anyway, why don't we chat for a while?"

Who said that? I clearly have something very important to do!

Blue Poison clenched her little fists. The little courage she had managed to muster had been completely dissipated by Platinum's interference. She wished she could just unplug this light bulb.

"Just chatting is no fun, let's find something to compete with," Blue Poison said irritably, trying to make Platinum back down.

"Okay, how about that one?" Platinum pointed to a duck-catching game shop in the distance and said with a forced smile.

“Okay! Winner Dr. will treat you to milk tea!” Blue Poison glanced at Qin Duanyu, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

Qin Duanyu nodded quickly. He didn't care about it. Since the two girls wanted to find something to do to pass the time, he could afford to buy them a cup of milk tea. He could just buy one for each of them and the loser could have less tapioca pearls.

"This time, you won't have any poison to help you." Platinum sneered, recalling the competition from a long time ago.

"Hmph, at such close range, your Pegasus Vision is still ineffective, isn't it?" Blue Poison retorted sharply, not willing to be outdone.

The poor shop owner had no idea what terrible thing was about to happen. When he saw Qin Duanyu and the others coming over, he smiled and welcomed the three of them into the shop.

"Sir, are you going to help the two ladies win gifts? It costs 10 Lungmen Dollars per try. 100 points can be exchanged for this teddy bear, 300 points for that large plush pillow, 500 points for that Rhine Life eye therapy device... If you get 1000 points, you will receive two free tickets to the revolving restaurant!"

The boss pointed to the dazzling array of prizes in the prize area and enthusiastically introduced them to Qin Duanyu. Of course, he didn't think anyone could win a prize higher than 500 points, otherwise his small business would probably lose everything.

"Sorry, they wanted to play. I was just responsible for moving the prizes." Qin Duanyu took out twenty Lungmen Dollars and handed them to the shopkeeper, saying apologetically.

"...It's alright, ladies. Just be careful, the ducks fly by very fast..." The boss paused for a moment, then led the two girls to the machine and pressed the switch.

Whoosh!

boom!

Qin Duanyu only saw a dark silhouette of a duck, followed by the crisp sound of a plastic bullet hitting a metal plate.

At such a speed, it's almost as fast as the targets used in Rhodes Island training. This boss is too greedy!

For the two veteran sniper operators, this was a piece of cake. The clanging sounds were incessant, and their scores climbed steadily, soon surpassing one hundred points.

However, the two have completely different styles. Blue Poison focuses on the slower black ducks. Although each knockdown only earns one point, the sheer number of them makes up for it. Platinum, on the other hand, targets the faster green ducks. Although the frequency is lower, each knockdown earns three points.

The boss stared wide-eyed, realizing he had encountered a master this time. He silently calculated their scoring speed, trying to estimate the losses this time.

"Hey, Doctor, Miss Blue Poison and Miss Platinum are here too!" At this moment, Qin Duanyu was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he was blinded by the halo above the person's head.

"Hello, Doctor, it's nice to see you again." Sora bowed to Qin Duanyu and said with a smile, "Senior Exusiai has excellent eyesight; she spotted you from so far away."

"Weren't you supposed to be keeping watch with Texas and the others? How come you have time to come out and have fun?" Qin Duanyu rubbed her eyes and asked curiously.

"Kong has a performance here today, and since we're off during the day, we came along with her," Exusiai explained, then looked at Blue Poison and Platinum, who were completely engrossed, "I didn't expect to see you here, so I just said hello. By the way, what happened to those two?"

"It's a target practice competition. The winner gets to buy milk tea," Qin Duanyu said casually, shrugging his shoulders.

"Milk tea? I'm a bit thirsty, Doctor, can I have one too?" Exusiai said, rushing to another empty shooting platform, rubbing her hands together, eager to try.

"..."

A large cup of milk tea with extra toppings starts at least at 30 Lungmen Dollars. You're not even willing to spend ten dollars? Qin Duanyu pouted. It seems like it's almost the end of the month again. She really does try to save money wherever she can.

"I'm sorry, Exusiai-senpai is a little short on cash lately, and I haven't received the extra commission for this job yet," Sora said somewhat embarrassedly, preparing to take out her wallet to pay for her embarrassing senior.

How could such a lovely girl pay? Qin Duanyu quickly paid first, practically shoving the money into the hands of the mournful-looking shopkeeper.

"Apru faction! Apru faction! Apru faction!"

I don't know what's wrong with this girl, but under the temptation of milk tea, she used the single-shot air rifle like a submachine gun. Even though she started much later than Platinum and the others, her score actually caught up.

The boss nearly had a heart attack. He had been hoping to make some money back from this young lady, but he never expected that an even bigger tycoon would come.

Not long after, Exia's machine suddenly stopped with a click.

"Apu... what's going on? I haven't had enough fun yet?" She put down the air gun in her hand and asked with lingering interest.

"Miss, you've scored a perfect score and are eligible for the grand prize!" The shopkeeper swallowed a few nitroglycerin pills and managed to squeeze out a few words after a long while.

On the other side, Platinum and Blue Poison stopped shooting. Although there was still some time before the game ended, they both knew very well that they had been defeated by this intruder, and there was no point in continuing.

But it doesn't matter. This girl doesn't know the real purpose of the competition. We can find another competition after she leaves. Platinum looked at Blue Poison and read the same meaning in her eyes.

It was almost noon, and what they were after wasn't the milk tea at all, but the opportunity to have lunch with Qin Duanyu after finishing it.

It's just milk tea, I can afford to lose!

This guy who barged in got off easy.

"Doctor, the grand prize is actually a voucher for the revolving restaurant! I've let you treat us so many times in Lungmen, this time it's my turn!" Exusiai proudly said to Qin Duanyu, holding up the voucher.

"But what about the Doctor's safety if I go to dinner with you?" Blue Poison's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, even if the Doctor isn't the boss now, I'll still protect him!" Exusiai said nonchalantly. "Anyway, my mission is to protect Sora, and your mission is to protect the Doctor. It's no big deal if we switch roles halfway through."

After saying that, Exusiai grabbed Qin Duanyu's arm and ran outside. Although she still had that carefree and innocent smile on her face, in Platinum and Blue Poison's eyes, it looked like the smile of a victor.

"I used to think it was all a coincidence, but seeing her like this, I'm thinking of poisoning her at the revolving restaurant. Anyway, the Doctor won't die!"

"...I'll keep watch for you!"

Congratulations to Blue Poison for scoring a point. Wait, who is that red-haired guy who rushed in from outside the arena?

Exusiai is running away with the ball in her arms!

I'm still a bit out of shape. I slept until noon today, so my writing speed was a little slower. I still owe three chapters. I'll update four more tomorrow.

Chapter 7, Section 113: This couple's drink is so sweet it warms your heart.

Unlike Lungmen, where land is scarce, there's no need to desperately build skyscrapers. The observation tower in the center of Siesta, though only seven or eight stories high, is already one of the tallest buildings in the entire city.

Thanks to the constantly rotating floors, even if you sit still at the dining table, the view in front of you will change on its own. One moment it may be a sunny beach and a blue sea, and the next, after a few bites of food, you may look up and find yourself in a quiet and languid corner of a street.

Romantic—that's the most fitting adjective Qin Duanyu could think of.

Exusiai was unexpectedly quiet, her hands clasped together in silent prayer. It was only during this time that Machidil, Ambriel, and other unconventional Sarkaz people like her would exhibit traits similar to their own kind.

Her holy and devout expression was just like that of a nun in a convent, completely belying her usual carefree and thick-skinned nature, creating a strangely endearing contrast.

"What's wrong, Doctor?" Exusiai asked curiously, opening her eyes after finishing her prayer.

Out of a sniper's instinct, she realized that Qin Duanyu was watching her, and she could feel his gaze even through her sunglasses.

"I feel a little bad about leaving them here for a fancy meal. Besides, it's more lively with more people, isn't that the kind of atmosphere you like the most?" Qin Duanyu awkwardly looked away and changed the subject.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Business is so good here that there aren't any extra seats." Exusiai shrugged, but a hint of smugness flashed through her mind.

Even party creatures sometimes crave some private space, like now, to be alone with the Doctor undisturbed.

Unlike Lan Du and the others, she didn't have any particularly strange thoughts. She just thought that this boss was handsome, funny, generous, and considerate. She simply enjoyed the time she spent with Qin Duanyu.

As for the date, in Exusiai's carefree view, it was just a normal lunch, something she did with Texas and the others all the time.

Seeing that Miss Sakta had finished praying, the waiter thoughtfully served appetizers and drinks. But as he was about to bow and take his leave, Qin Duanyu suddenly stopped him: "Um, the soda water is mine, and the white wine is hers."

"Please forgive my oversight, I'll get it changed for you right away." Seeing the waiter's surprised yet polite smile, and his initiative to take the pot back, Qin Duanyu felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Laugh if you want, I'm really sorry I can't drink." Qin Duanyu pouted and said to Exusiai, whose face was somewhat distorted.

"Hahaha, the doctor is so lame." After getting permission from the person involved, she laughed heartily, and tears even welled up in her eyes.

This was her first time visiting such a high-end place, and she was a little lost from the moment she entered. But Qin Duanyu had seen the world with Miss Shi Huaiya, so she handled everything with ease.

I never expected the reliable doctor to have this side to him; he's so adorable.

"By the way, I was originally planning to wait until you returned to Rhodes Island to talk about this, but since we've run into each other now, I'll tell you some good news in advance." When it was time to serve dessert, Qin Duanyu said with a smile, "Because of my participation in the previous operation, Lungmen allocated some equipment to Rhodes Island, but there were two extra firearms. I discussed it with Amiya, and we can grant you the right to use them."

"Two guns!?" Exusiai exclaimed in surprise, forgetting even to eat her apple pie.

Although she had always hoped to own eight Guardian Guns, as she grew older, this idea, like turning off the halo above her head, became something she could only dream about.

For someone who earns more money but spends even more, saving money is simply impossible. By the end of the month, she struggles to even afford food, and the prospect of buying expensive firearms is something she only sees in her dreams.

"Hmm, but as a price, you'll have to work for Rhodes Island for three years without pay. What do you think?"

"I am willing!"

Exusiai nodded excitedly, eager to return to Rhodes Island immediately to try out the new guy.

"Dear Sir and Madam, this is a complimentary drink from our establishment. We hope you have a wonderful time at Siesta." Just then, the waiter brought over a large glass of beverage with a double straw and a heart-shaped symbol in the center.

What makes a good waiter?

Seeing Exusiai's excited expression and hearing those three words, he assumed it was a proposal or a request to date. Since the two guests had already finished their dessert, he figured they would need something to drink to soothe their palates, so he quickly served them one of the restaurant's signature couple's drinks.

"Um, I am indeed a little thirsty, but you've got it wrong, I..."
