Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

More importantly, Lin Guang is almost completely immune to Qin Duanyu and is not affected by this central air conditioning at all.

Recalling the night he escaped from Chernobog, Qin Duanyu couldn't help but sigh that among the girls who were entangled with him, Kal'tsit was indeed the most cunning.

He shrugged helplessly and opened the top document, which was intelligence on the Reunion Movement shared by Lungmen.

"These people have been unusually quiet lately. Could they be brewing up some big surprise?" Qin Duanyu raised an eyebrow, her mind filled with doubt.

Since the recent battle in the ruined city, the Reunion Movement has fallen into silence, presumably because the losses were too great and the organization was severely damaged. That's why Qin Duanyu felt comfortable giving the operators a long vacation.

But now almost a month has passed. Not to mention restoring combat strength, the entire Chernobog city has probably been digested. Talulah should have made some moves by now.

“It is indeed very suspicious. Apart from the entire mobile city slowly moving towards Lungmen, neither the spies in Lungmen nor our reconnaissance team have found any signs of a large-scale mobilization by the Reunion Movement.” Nearl nodded and handed a field report from the Rhodes Island operations team to Qin Duanyu.

Unable to get too close, the reconnaissance team only captured distant views of Chernobog. The vast city resembled a black monster, slowly advancing towards Lungmen, raising clouds of dust.

At this rate, it will probably be delayed until next year.

"By the way, Chernobog has been taken over by the Reunion Movement for so long, has there been no movement from Ursus?" Qin Duanyu suddenly thought of a possibility and asked in a low voice.

"It's said that because of border friction with the Sami Kingdom, the Ursus Empire has concentrated a large number of troops on the border between the two countries, so it has no time to deal with the Chernobog problem for the time being." Nearl frowned and curled her lip in disdain.

Five or six years ago, the Emperor of Ursus launched a war against the Kingdom of Sami in an attempt to divert domestic conflicts. The disparity in strength between the two sides was like that between an adult and a child.

However, the small country of Sami, located in the far north, unleashed astonishing fighting power. Relying on its strong defenses and harsh weather, it tenaciously resisted, and with the overt and covert assistance from other countries, it managed to drag Ursus into a quagmire.

Although the Sami Kingdom eventually yielded, paying a large sum of money and a mobile city in exchange for a peace agreement, it was undoubtedly a disgrace for Ursus.

It's like an adult seeing all the candy in a child's hand and trying to snatch it, only to end up with teeth marks all over their body. Even if they eventually get a single piece of candy from the child, it's definitely not a glorious thing.

"That explains it. The Reunion Movement doesn't want to attract Ursus's attention for the time being," Qin Duanyu suddenly realized.

No matter how disparate their strengths may be, a war between nations is far beyond what a single rebel organization like the Reunion Movement can compare to. Once the Sami Kingdom is dealt with, there will be plenty of time to wipe them out.

Of course, if the Reunion Movement becomes too disruptive during this period, Ursus will certainly not mind dealing with internal issues first, so they can only keep a low profile during this time.

"Doctor, although your analysis makes a lot of sense, but..." Lin Guang pointed to the white-haired ninja next to him, interrupting Qin Duanyu's analysis.

Bai Xue stared straight at the ceiling, looking somewhat embarrassed. Because of her partnership with Rhodes Island, and because there were many powerful individuals there, plus the fact that she didn't think she could escape Qin Duanyu's senses, she didn't sneak in this time, but instead knocked on the door openly.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Duanyu acted as if she hadn't seen her at all, and proceeded to do a long analysis on her own. Although it wasn't any classified information, it was still very impolite for an outsider to hear it.

"I didn't say anything important. This is no different from keyboard warriors discussing governance. It's fine if Miss Bai Xue hears it." Qin Duanyu said in a teasing tone, completely lacking sincerity. "Oh, I was really startled. I didn't even notice you when you weren't yawning. As expected of a ninja from the East, impressive!"

"You!" Bai Xue almost lost control of her emotions, but after comparing the kunai at her waist with the giant hammer on Lin Guang's back, she suppressed her anger. "This is some liniment and tonic that Commander Wei asked me to bring you. I hope you can recover soon."

"Old Wei is so kind. Please thank him for me." Qin Duanyu smiled as she accepted the gift box. "Is there anything else? You should go back and rest early so you don't have to..."

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; Old Wei is the type who won't act until he sees something of value.

"Tomorrow evening at six o'clock, Commander Wei will be hosting a banquet at his residence to welcome the envoys from Ursus. We hope you can attend." Bai Xue interrupted him, took out a gold-rimmed invitation from her bosom, and left without looking back.

If she stayed any longer, she might not be able to resist stabbing this bitch to death.

"These ninjas have really strange tempers. They get upset when we find her, and they still get upset if we pretend we didn't find her. They're really hard to please."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xue quickened her pace.

Hmph, the second season of Detective Dee is about to be released, and this time the main focus is on the Knight Princess!

Chapter 2, Section 175: Sure enough, this is what you're best at.

The following evening, Qin Duanyu, just like at the press conference that day, was accompanied by Lin Guang to Wei Yanwu's residence. He was supposed to bring ACE as well, but that guy's chamber pot hadn't been washed yet, so Gavial forcibly confiscated it.

Although the two were not the main characters of the gathering, as soon as they entered the hall, many young women looked on with fervor, like Ceobe seeing a honey cake, and surrounded them.

"Miss Lin Guang, I'm a fan of yours, could you please sign my autograph?"

"Can you tell us your stories from the battles?"

"Your hair is so beautiful. How do you usually take care of it? Does it get affected by the battle?"

Qin Duanyu was quickly pushed to the very edge. He subtly withdrew his outstretched arms, secretly relieved that the mask had covered his face and no one had seen his embarrassed expression.

Even though Qin Duanyu's publicity efforts far exceeded those of Lin Guang and the others, compared to a masked figure, the radiant and heroic Radiant Knight was undoubtedly more likely to win people's favor.

"I'm sorry, thank you for your love, but I need to protect the Doctor's safety and cannot leave my post." Faced with the enthusiastic female fans, Nearl remained unmoved and said calmly.

"Miss Nearl is so cool when she's serious!"

"As expected of the Radiant Knight, awesome!"

"Look at the marks on her armor, those must be from a knife, right? So cool!"

If a man said something so unromantic, he would probably turn away most girls on the spot. Qin Duanyu usually calls such people destined to be single, but as a woman, the girls just felt that Lin Guang was special and became more interested in her.

"Don't worry, if even a gathering of this caliber could have an accident, Lao Wei would probably be finished by now." Feeling the girls' gazes, he could only wave his hand, signaling Lin Guang to go play with the girls.

Human joys and sorrows are not shared; I only find their noise bothersome.

Watching Lin Guang being surrounded by girls, Qin Duanyu shrugged, went to the dining table to find something to eat, and waited for Wei Yanwu and the Ursus delegation to finish their business and come out.

"Beautiful lady, I've noticed you for a long time. Please forgive my intrusion, but may I ask you to dance?" A somewhat familiar-looking young man walked past him and said to a girl sitting in the corner.

With a beautiful yet spirited face, long silver hair topped with a pair of bear ears, and red eyes that shone like rubies, she wore a well-fitting black dress. If she hadn't deliberately positioned herself in a corner, she would probably have quickly become the focus of the banquet.

When faced with the young man's invitation, she simply tilted her head, a smile that was more awkward than polite, and curiously sized him up, with a mocking air, like someone watching animals in a zoo.

Such a beautiful girl, could she be mute?

“&%&&*……%……%” After a while, the girl finally spoke. Her voice was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, and it contained a beautiful rhythm. Even if you couldn’t understand what she was saying, you would still be captivated by it.

Qin Duanyu recognized a few words that Winter often used in Ursus and immediately realized what kind of language she was speaking.

She's probably the daughter of some diplomat.

The young man gestured for a long time, even speaking Victorian in his haste, but the girl still didn't seem to understand. He could only stomp his foot and say, "Wait a moment, I'll go get my translator!"

Seeing the person in the way leave, the girl took out a tablet and started clicking on it seriously, sometimes showing a happy expression and sometimes gritting her teeth.

Qin Duanyu pretended to be passing by, walked to the wall behind her and leaned against it. He saw the unit cards and various images on the screen and realized that the girl was playing a turn-based strategy game.

"Great food, it's so delicious! Even my grandma plays this game better than me." He ate heartily, watched with great interest for a while, and couldn't help but say this as he watched the girl being pushed all the way to the capital by the computer.

He immediately realized he had misspoke, but since the girl couldn't understand Yan language anyway, it wouldn't hurt to say a few words.

"What did you just say?" The girl suddenly raised her head, staring at him with her crimson eyes, and asked coldly.

His pronunciation was clear and accurate, and his accent was so authentic that no one would doubt him even if he claimed to be from Yan.

"I'm sorry... I was rude, please forgive me." Qin Duanyu immediately understood that the girl was pretending not to understand Yan language in order to get rid of that pretty boy.

"Where exactly did I go wrong? If you're just putting on a brave front, you'll soon witness the fury and fists of the Ursus people," the girl persisted.

This girl is definitely no weaker than Winter or Lappland! Sensing her aura, Qin Duanyu was certain that those pink fists could kill him in a matter of minutes.

"To be honest, if I were you, I would have surrendered several rounds ago." Left with no other choice, he had to reveal his thoughts.

"Surrender? You're telling me, the mighty Ursus... In short, don't even think about such a cowardly act! And is this your idea?" The girl's expression changed, and she raised her fist again.

“If you had surrendered sooner, you would have only had to pay some money and be done with it. There would still be a chance to turn things around later. But by dragging it out until now, you have not only lost a lot of troops, but the price you have to pay for peace is even greater,” Qin Duanyu said hurriedly.

“But the enemy’s peace terms included a clause that they wanted to humiliate me, their arch-enemy…” The girl frowned, seemingly unable to accept it at all.

"It's no big deal. Humiliating them won't cost you anything, but it will waste a lot of their peace negotiation points. It's a sure-fire way to make money. You have to be flexible when playing games. As long as you can win, it's not shameful," Qin Duanyu said nonchalantly. "You've only sacrificed a little prestige, but you can wipe out their entire country in the future."

"So, in the first place, my insistence on fighting was a mistake?"

"Look at you, you have such a large army, but your technology is completely backward and your economic development is not good either. How do you expect to compete with others? If I were you, I would cut half of the army and use the money to develop infrastructure and scientific research."

"I've learned something, thank you for your guidance." The girl seemed to have thought of something, bowed deeply to Qin Duanyu, and then hurriedly left.

Is it really necessary to get this excited over a game?

He watched the girl's retreating figure, somewhat puzzled by the thoughts of these snake-playing gamers.

……

"Doctor, I'm sorry, I spent some time chatting with the gentlemen of the delegation. I hope I didn't neglect you?" Wei Yanwu walked out of the cubicle, his dragon-like face displaying a polite smile that revealed no emotion whatsoever.

"What important matter could possibly require a face-to-face meeting?" Qin Duanyu rubbed her slightly swollen belly and said irritably.

I almost got beaten up by an Ursus girl just now for talking too much, but considering I had a good meal after a long time, I'll forgive Wei Yanwu for now.

"Here's the thing, there's an expedition team in Ursus that wants to excavate artifacts at nearby ruins, but because of their official status, they're bound to be harassed by the Reunion Movement, so they'd like to ask you to lead a team to protect them," Wei Yanwu said with a smile.

"Why do you have to ask me? ACE's small team could easily handle this kind of task!" Qin Duanyu asked curiously.

“I know your Originium Arts are special, making you perfect for commanding small-scale operations like this. With you here, safety is guaranteed. Besides, this time we're accompanying a very important and difficult girl, which is a perfect opportunity for you to show your skills,” Wei Yanwu said calmly, taking a puff of his pipe.

"Old Wei, I suspect you're implying something, and I have evidence! What do you mean by 'showing off your skills'? How can you slander someone's innocence like this?!" Everything sounded normal up to that, but after that "and," Qin Duanyu felt something was off.

"It's nothing, just stating your strengths." Wei Yanwu curled his lip. This guy is really hypocritical and pretentious. It's a waste of such a talented person that he's not in politics.

"No, I'm perfectly fine on Rhodes Island. Why should I suffer in the wilderness?" Qin Duanyu shook her head, indicating that she had absolutely no interest in it. "Sorry, my body is starting to hurt again. It's probably a relapse of an old injury. I need to go back and lie in bed for a few months."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door, silently counting his steps.

"Wait a minute, Doctor. Since this mission is not covered by the cooperation agreement, Lungmen will pay a commission. Are you really not going to consider it?" Wei Yanwu stretched out a hand and made a gesture reminiscent of a famous meme.

He'd only taken five steps...it seems he's getting impatient.

“We’re allies, why are you being so formal? Tell me what happened first, and we can discuss the rest later.” With a clear understanding of the situation, Qin Duanyu returned to Wei Yanwu with a smile.

“Your primary target this time is the illegitimate daughter of Speaker Witt of the Imperial Council,” Wei Yanwu said in a low voice. “Because she is the Speaker’s only child, she has been groomed as his successor since childhood. Although she is exceptionally capable, she has a strong personality and is not easy to get along with. Even the officials in the delegation are afraid of her.”

"I understand." Qin Duanyu nodded solemnly. Seeing how nervous Lao Wei was, this money wouldn't be easy to earn.

"Uncle Wei, haven't you found the person you mentioned yet?" A slightly familiar voice came from behind Old Wei, with a hint of impatience.

"She's here just now. Don't make her angry, or someone will die!" Wei Yanwu whispered a warning, then smiled and dealt with the difficult young lady. "This is the doctor I've mentioned to you many times. I believe his abilities will not disappoint you."

"It's you!?"

When Wei Yanwu stepped aside, the two of them were stunned.

It's that Ursus girl who's obsessed with gaming!

"Let me formally introduce myself, Vika Witt, it's a pleasure to meet you." The girl smiled and extended her hand to Qin Duanyu. "I was worried before about whether the person Uncle Wei recommended would be up to the task, but now it seems I was overthinking it. I'm very satisfied with this candidate."

"So you're Miss Vika. Please take care of me from now on." Qin Duanyu smiled and shook her small hand.

Wei Yanwu stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

This person is definitely not a good-tempered person. The happier they are, the more likely they are to be plotting something, such as secretly breaking your finger bones, just like those capricious Ursus tyrants.
