Contrary to what Bai Jin had expected, Lan Du hadn't run away; she had been summoned by Qin Duanyu. Although she didn't know what kind of help she could offer, Lan Du clearly wouldn't refuse Qin Duanyu's request.

"Blue Poison, are you feeling better? If you're afraid of those things, don't be stubborn." Seeing that Blue Poison had recovered somewhat, Qin Duanyu asked with concern.

"Since we're out having fun, we should naturally have a good time and experience things we've never experienced before," Blue Poison shook his head and replied with a smile.

She can't just say outright that it's all for the sake of the doctorate, can she?

Thinking about this, Blue Poison felt a little wronged. First Platinum, then Exusiai, and so many troublemakers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, ruining all her good plans.

At the same time, the appearance of these girls made her increasingly uneasy.

Both Platinum and Exusiai are extremely excellent sniper operators, and even Katyusha, a new companion who just joined Rhodes Island, has shown terrifying power.

During the several training sessions before departure, Katyusha, like a broken bone, easily tore distant enemies to pieces. If it weren't for some fast drones, she could have finished the battle without firing a single shot.

What if I'm rejected by the Doctor because I'm too weak? Then he'll distance himself from me, and we might never be as close as we are now... But if things continue like this, as Rhodes Island grows stronger, I'll eventually be forgotten by the Doctor, right?

Looking at Qin Duanyu, who was on the phone in front of her, Lan Du gritted her teeth, completely lacking the courage to confess her feelings to him.

Qin Duanyu seemed to still be talking, showing no intention of turning around to look at Lan Du, allowing the distance between the two to gradually widen.

Sure enough, right now I'm just a troublesome little girl.

Seeing this, Blue Poison lowered her head, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Blue Poison, look what this is!" A few minutes later, Qin Duanyu's voice rang in her ears.

"Hmm?" Blue Poison pretended to wipe away sweat, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and then smiled at him.

It was a long, narrow package. As soon as she got her hands on it, a look of surprise appeared on Blue Poison's face. Then, with Qin Duanyu's help, she quickly tore open the cardboard box, revealing the guitar hidden inside.

"When we were in Longmen, didn't you go to the music store? I saw that you really liked this guitar, so I bought it. But the logistics were really slow. It was supposed to be delivered last night, but I had to go pick it up myself. It's not as efficient as Ah Neng and the others." Qin Duanyu sighed and said with dissatisfaction.

"This...this guitar is for me?" Lan Du was somewhat flattered. It turned out that Qin Duanyu had ignored her and left in a hurry to retrieve a gift for her.

"Of course! You were very knowledgeable when you were teaching Amiya yesterday. There's a stage over there, so why don't you go up and show off?" Qin Duanyu patted Lan Du on the shoulder and pointed to the high platform not far away.

These public stages are common in Siesta, providing an opportunity for talented people to showcase their skills. Just as the previous performer finished playing, Qin Duanyu quickly grabbed Lan Du's hand and ran over.

Normally, this kind of crowded situation was what Blue Poison hated most, but at this moment, she only wanted to sing her heart out to the most important person in her life. After a simple adjustment, her beautiful, nightingale-like voice rang out:

"The empty streets, the desire to find someone to confide in, making this decision—it's because loneliness is my neighbor..."

Doctor, I've become greedy. I hope you like me, preferably only me. At least today, you can only have me in your eyes! From beginning to end, Blue Poison's eyes never left Qin Duanyu.

A moment later, the other girls came over and happened to hear Blue Poison singing.

"We lost again. I have absolutely no talent in this area. Do you guys have anything worth showing off?" Platinum shook his head and said helplessly.

Lappland and Texas exchanged a glance; making mille-feuille and eating pocky didn't seem like much of a talent.

Exusiai, however, raised her hand and said proudly, "I can hit the triangle and dance the gangster dance!"

Honestly, I feel that "Always Quiet" is quite suitable for the character of Blue Poison in this book. She is a kind and lovely little angel who silently supports the protagonist from behind.

Chapter 10, Section 116: I Want to Test My Marriage Fate (Supplementary Update 1)

Whether it was the half-confession-like performance that worked, or the scare they had in the haunted house, the once large group that stormed into the amusement park dwindled to just Qin Duanyu and Lan Du by nightfall.

Although she followed the original plan and took Qin Duanyu to play on all the amusement park rides, she had already said everything she wanted to say in the song. At this moment, she was simply enjoying the time she spent with the doctor.

"It's getting late, go back and rest. Tomorrow will be another happy day," Qin Duanyu said with a smile, patting Lan Du's head.

"Let me check the schedule first!" Blue Poison opened a small notebook, and a purple receipt fell out.

"A fortune teller?" Qin Duanyu picked it up and saw that it was a portrait of an old man from the Liberi tribe. Although he was of similar age and race, he was not as handsome as Old Man Helag. At the bottom were the words "Master Archil's Fortune Telling Ticket".

“Yes, Master Archie is a very famous astrologer. He was invited to Siesta City by the mayor. It is said that his divination is particularly accurate, and he only receives ten people a day.” Blue Poison said seriously, then suddenly blushed. “Originally, I wanted to divine some important matters, but now I don’t need to. I’ll give this opportunity to you, Doctor.”

Yes, she already had the answer in her heart for the most important thing.

Astrology?

It's probably a scam similar to fortune telling, right?

In his previous life, when Qin Duanyu was still in elementary school, a fortune teller on the roadside stopped him, saying that he would suffer a bloody disaster soon, and tricked him into spending five yuan to buy a jade pendant to put in his mouth.

As it turned out, he didn't suffer any bloodshed, but the broken jade actually faded, staining Qin Duanyu's tongue green. To make matters worse, his father, Old Qin, found out that his son had been deceived and gave him a severe beating. Although the beating hurt, it didn't even break the skin.

Qin Duanyu immediately lost interest, but he couldn't just throw away the gift in front of the girl, could he? Helpless, he still took Lan Du's hand and led her to the tent, which was dyed a deep purple.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a strong aroma of incense filled the air. Amidst the wisps of smoke, an old man could be seen sitting on a cushion.

Sandalwood... He had heard Melanie mention that this scent of incense could create a sense of mystery and help people relax; it was practically a staple for charlatans.

"Sir, I see you are dignified and spirited, you must have been in a high position for a long time. However, you are ruthless and decisive in killing, using living beings as chess pieces to play against others. These killings will eventually turn into a battlefield of carnage..." As soon as Archie opened his mouth, I knew he was an old swindler... a fortune teller.

"Come on, I'm just the head of security at a small company. Do you think I'm ruthless? Do you expect me to risk my life to win against fate?" Qin Duanyu said irritably upon hearing this.

Putting aside the fact that he deliberately covered his face, the old man was wearing sunglasses in the dark, and without the aid of a god's-eye view, it would be a miracle if anyone could see what he looked like.

Sure enough, these charlatans would start spouting incomprehensible nonsense as soon as they entered the door. They would first elevate the person to a high position, and then say that they might be facing a calamity and that only by buying their things could they avert it.

"Hiss, could it be that I misjudged him?" The old man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of bright and sharp eyes.

"Your room was clearly set up by a Colombian fortune teller, so why are you spouting the talk of a Chinese fortune teller?" Qin Duanyu looked around and felt that hanging a banner behind him and placing a Bagua table on the table would be more appropriate for his way of speaking.

"Isn't this just because the guest looks like someone from Yan, so I'm speaking according to your customs? These days, even fortune tellers need to learn more to avoid misunderstandings caused by cultural differences," Archie said with a wry smile. "What kind of fortune telling do you want, guest?"

"Alright, then I'll ask about marriage!" Qin Duanyu said casually as she knelt in front of the old man.

In truth, he still harbored some hope that this fortune teller, who spoke with a strong Yan accent, might actually possess some real skill.

Qin Duanyu wasn't the male protagonist of a Japanese light novel. Despite having a lot of girls who liked him, he remained completely unresponsive, like a block of wood. Moreover, with the system's favorability system, he was naturally able to sense the girls' feelings.

As for employees like Exusiai, they're willing to share drinks with you using couple cups, even if they say they don't care. But if it were just anyone else, they'd probably be riddled with bullets by Exusiai the moment they made the request.

But for some reason, he always had a strange concern deep in his heart. Whenever he wanted to truly respond to the girls' feelings, he would feel a strong and inexplicable sense of guilt, as if doing so would be letting someone down.

Qin Duanyu really wanted to know who this person was.

“Young man, look at this wheel of fate. If its pointer stops, it means that your true destiny has arrived.” Archie stroked his gray beard, closed his eyes, and said mysteriously.

As soon as he finished speaking, specks of light appeared around him, like a dazzling galaxy, seemingly containing infinite and profound truths. Qin Duanyu was somewhat taken aback.

"Young man, hurry up and tell me the direction, otherwise I can't help you calculate it." But after waiting for a while, the old man still hadn't received a reply from Qin Duanyu, so he urged her on.

"Are you kidding me? It's been spinning since it started and it shows no sign of stopping!" Qin Duanyu pouted and said irritably, "It must be a problem with the motor you installed under the platform!"

In the enormous astrolabe, the pointers spun wildly like propellers; if it weren't for the cover, they would almost fly out.

This is utterly ridiculous; you shouldn't have any expectations of scammers at all!

Without saying a word, Qin Duanyu turned and left.

"Doctor, what were the results?"

"He's a fraud; it's good enough that we didn't smash his stall!"

“That doesn’t make sense. Based on previous experience, it’s accurate once in ten times. It should be his turn right now. Could this thing really be broken?” Archie ignored Qin Duanyu’s cursing and stared at the pointer with a frown.

Only then did the pointer, seemingly having exhausted its strength, slowly come to a stop and point north.

north?

In this location, the only major city should be Lungmen, which is definitely not a safe place. Speaking of which, Rhodes Island is also located in Lungmen. I wonder if Astesia and Elena have arrived yet.

He sighed and put away the astrolabe, unsure whether it had actually functioned or not.

……

"Achoo!" The lynx, still burning the midnight oil, suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but sneeze, leaving a large ink stain on the white paper with its pen.

"I've told you to take care of your health. Doctor and Amiya have both gone out to play. You should relax once in a while too. How about sneaking off to Siesta?" Warfarin coaxed from the side.

"And then you turn the medical department upside down? I've had quite a few complaints lately about blood samples being stolen." Kal'tsit casually tore off the piece of paper and said without looking up.

"Well, I... I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Warfarin slapped her forehead and hurriedly rushed out.

"Perhaps I really should take a rest?" Kal'tsit rubbed her temples, surprisingly tempted.

After Qin Duanyu was rescued, most of Rhodes Island's projects got back on track. She no longer needed to do everything herself as before, and she could indeed try to let go of some things. There was no need for her to be so exhausted.

The beach… wouldn’t it be perfect to wear the dress that guy gave me? Thinking of this, Kal’tsit’s cheeks flushed slightly.

However, I need to hang up the warfarin before I leave, and put it back down when I come back!

Don't ask, the answer is that Kaibo is blessed with a clear conscience!

Two more chapters to go, I'll continue tomorrow.

Chapter 111, Section 117: Picking up girls in a bar? I really don't know how!

"Doctor, wake up! We still have so many things to do, we can't rest yet!"

At exactly midnight, Qin Duanyu, who was preparing to go to sleep, suddenly received a phone call. The voice on the other end was slightly rough, with a hint of impatience and excitement.

ACE?

"Still not resting so late? Looks like you've been living too leisurely. I need to assign you some work to do." Qin Duanyu frowned and said irritably.

Originally, Qin Duanyu did not plan to give these elite combat teams a holiday. After all, they were excellent money-making tools, generating countless daily profits. It would be a waste to leave them idle.

To everyone's surprise, ACE completely disregarded his image and grabbed Qin Duanyu's leg in the cafeteria, crying and shouting that he was under too much pressure and needed to relax. He acted as if he wouldn't get up unless he got leave. Helpless, Qin Duanyu had no choice but to agree.

Logically speaking, this guy should have stayed as far away as possible; coming to our door is practically suicide.

"Of course, it's about getting high at nightclubs! You were the one who taught me how to do it, so I can't forget you for this kind of thing," ACE chuckled on the other end, speaking calmly.

Qin Duanyu was somewhat tempted by the suggestion. After all, hanging out with girls all day was rather boring. He even missed the days when he was in college in his previous life, playing games with his roommates, and going to bars with his single colleagues after he started working.

"I'm not interested. If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep." But then he suddenly remembered something and quickly and firmly refused.

You're probably acting under someone's orders, trying to trick me into telling you something, right?

“Doctor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I finally managed to coax the girls in the team away, and I’m in charge of protecting you tomorrow. Even if you sleep all morning, no one will notice anything amiss!” ACE coaxed patiently. “If you don’t believe me, look out the window. Everyone’s waiting for you.”

Qin Duanyu walked onto the balcony with some skepticism, and sure enough, she saw several muscular men in beach outfits standing in the crowd. All of ACE and SCOUT's male agents had actually arrived.

"Okay, I'll be right there!" After confirming from his omniscient perspective that Amiya and the others were all in the room, Qin Duanyu excitedly rubbed his hands together and rushed into the elevator with a whoosh.
