"Have it?"
"My mouth is watering."
"This reflects a desire for advanced technological creations and a yearning for a better tomorrow for human civilization."
Wan Qi wiped away his drool without making a sound and began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.
"Wanqi, you won't become the Hand of Reshaping, will you?"
Wilting's voice was filled with deep worry, and even the hand gripping Wan Qi's sleeve trembled slightly.
Arcana alone is already a major headache for the foundation. If a history-destroying machine like Vanchi were to appear in the long river of history, everyone in the foundation would have to jump off a building.
Arcana, at least, uses mystical arts that everyone can understand, making them an enemy that can be targeted even if powerful. But Wanqi, a one-man army with enigmatic strength and the ability to travel through multiple worlds, is someone whose fate is uncertain if he decides to completely destroy Earth's history. Velting doesn't know what to do.
Such a desperate scene is enough to make one give up the struggle.
The closer she got to Wan Qi, the more she understood his strength and the undisguised nationalism he harbored.
Such ideas are suppressed within the Foundation because they are too dangerous. Mysticism combined with national power and nationalism is truly a path to bloodshed for human civilization. The Foundation's motto, "May the peace be with us, may the peace be with mankind," is the final product of compromise and compromise after countless brutal struggles.
Virtue did have issues with the St. Love Foundation, but at least the organization was maintaining the stability of human civilization and pursuing the possibility of ordinary people and mystics working together to create a better tomorrow. The Reshaping Hand, on the other hand, could decide to overturn everything and start over.
On one side is peace, and on the other is creation and destruction. From the most basic human values perspective, the St. Love Foundation is clearly more in line with the values of the vast majority of ordinary people, and it causes the least damage and sacrifice.
In short, this is a benign organization that can be changed, at least that's what Wilting thinks, because there's no better option.
So, until other new options emerge, we must at least prevent the house from being demolished.
In the past, this contradictory enemy was called the "Hand of Reshaping," but now, Wan Qi alone can achieve a similar effect, or even surpass it.
"Which aspect are you referring to?" Wan Qi asked.
“Destroying history, destroying peace, and taking lives,” Veldine said.
Then she looked directly into Wan Qi's eyes, her green pupils filled with expectation and worry.
“I would never harm lives, at least not now. I have absolutely no such thought. Disrupting peace is a big issue, but I would never provoke others. As for destroying history, is there any real history under the ‘storm’? Aren’t you also relying on your first-mover advantage in historical knowledge to do some things? The foundation cannot only say that this is real history when it is in its own interest.”
Wan Qi answered very seriously, and the core idea was simply, "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will retaliate."
"Thank you, that's enough."
Wilting knew that he had little power over Wan Qi. The reason Wan Qi was willing to listen to him was because of their friendship. Friendships can be very important, but once broken, they can instantly turn into a poison that backfires. At this stage, the only thing he could do was to try his best to win Wan Qi over to his side. He dared not ask for anything else.
After all, even Wan Qi himself knew that as long as he stood on Wilting's side, Wilting would have the power to intimidate the entire Foundation. The Si Chen Squad would be directly upgraded to the Si Chen Legion, or even the Si Chen Cataclysm Legion. At that time, it would be questionable who would listen to whom.
The helicopter slowly descended, and when Wan Qi and Wilting arrived on the Rhodes Island deck, a white-haired woman with an imposing aura, Felin, was already standing in front of them.
Her figure was as upright as a cold, stern ruler. She wore a medical uniform that was a mix of dark green and pure white. Her epaulets, like military insignia, were imprinted with authority. The cold light of precision instruments could be faintly seen through the transparent material of her left sleeve, as if the rigor of the operating table had been branded into her battle robe. Her pale short hair was like a blade cutting past her ears, and her pair of Felin beast ears were like upright cold steel. Her tightly pursed thin lips never wavered in the slightest.
"Kal'tsit, head of Rhodes Island's medical department."
As he spoke, White-haired Philin extended his right hand to Virtue.
Section 33: From Hour of the God of War to Doctor
(Update delivered! One more chapter coming soon (?一▽一)?)
Leaders are like stand-ins, drawn to each other. Veldine is the kind of person who is born with leadership charisma. In addition, the two had already met each other in front of the drone (one-sided), so Kal'tsit extended her right hand to her first.
However, Wan Qi was not ignored, and Kal'tsit shook hands with him afterward.
Kal'tsit's attitude also indicates that Rhodes Island welcomes the two of them.
"Amiya, you all go and rest first. I'll talk to... the Doctors."
"Yes, Dr. Kal'tsit."
Before leaving, the little rabbit waved goodbye to Wanqi and Weierting. What a polite and adorable little thing.
Kal'tsit then led the two to her private office, the most secure place on Rhodes Island.
"Please have a seat. What would you like to drink? Coffee and juice are both available."
“Thank you, coffee,” Veltin said.
"Juice, thank you." This was Wan Qi.
Soon, Kal'tsit had prepared coffee, juice, and a plate of snacks.
"Aren't you two going to introduce yourselves? You are guests from another world."
Kal'tsit's words surprised Wan Qi and Veldin; she had so easily revealed their identities.
Even if I told the truth about being a visitor from another world, people would still take it as a joke.
No wonder novels are all lies!
Wanqi and Weierting exchanged a glance. Since the other party could see through their identities, regardless of the method used, building trust between them would be the first thing to consider in the upcoming communication.
Veltin put down her coffee, sat up straight, and said, "Hello, Ms. Kal'tsit, my name is Veltin. Wanqi and I are indeed from another world, and we don't know much about this place yet."
“But you did come out of the stone coffin.”
Kal'tsit's statement is very informative, proving that although she did not go to Chernobog, she was very aware of what was happening there.
Wan Qi was thinking: I guess they used some kind of single-person camera or drone to film it.
What Veltin was thinking was: the other party used a local secret technique, that is, Originium Arts.
This is the difference in their understanding. Although there's only a 25-year gap between 1999 and 2025, the world has undergone tremendous changes in those 25 years. Drones have become commonplace. Therefore, Wanqi is more knowledgeable about intelligent products like drones and their use than Veltin.
But this doesn't mean that Virtue was completely unaware of this; it just means that she didn't perceive drones as omnipotent.
It's important to know that in 1999, the world's best drone was the American Global Hawk. Its size and cost perfectly matched the definition of a "high-tech unmanned product" at the time. Back then, people didn't know that the American engineer Smith possessed such power; their perception of advanced technology was that it had to be large, multifunctional, and expensive.
But if this happened in 2025, it would be a real miracle if someone like you could survive taking off from the airport alive.
When asked about coming out of the stone coffin, Virtue could only look to Wan Qi. After all, she didn't even know where she was at first, and the stone coffin wasn't something she could push open. If Wan Qi hadn't helped her, she would most likely have suffocated inside that thing.
Virtin's gaze made Wan Qi realize that he would have to explain himself from now on. Although he didn't know how to explain it, the matter of traveling through worlds was indeed up to him.
"Simply put, we traveled through the world to find the power to save it from beyond."
This was actually what Wan Qi had just come up with. After all, the world where Virtin lived did have natural disasters that were currently impossible to deal with, and this world didn't seem to be much better.
But we can learn from others' experiences, right?
"Searching for the power to save the world from beyond the world..."
Kal'tsit pondered the weight of those words.
If it were just Wilting, the variable, saying this, it wouldn't be very significant. But for Wan Qi, this human nuclear bomb, to say this, combined with Wilting's command abilities comparable to a doctor, are the two of them on a world tour, searching for a way to save their homeland?
"Does your world also have disasters similar to the Originium Cataclysm?" Kal'tsit asked.
Wilting nodded and said, "Yes, we call it 'torrential rain,' a disaster that can conceptually wash away an era."
Kal'tsit's expression turned serious; the concept of a catastrophe sounded quite terrifying.
Could you be more specific?
"Of course, because of the existence of 'torrential rain,' our world is very unstable, constantly changing between different eras, which may be the past or the future. In such an environment, stable development is simply a pipe dream. Our civilization is imprisoned in a cage measured in centuries, unable to reach the future."
"That was a truly devastating disaster."
Kal'tsit sighed; she understood that sense of powerlessness all too well.
“We are not enemies,” Veldin said. “We are simply travelers from other worlds searching for possibilities.”
It must be said that Miss Sichen reacted very quickly, immediately picking up on Wan Qi's setup, and she immediately realized the significance of Wan Qi's words.
Crossing the world inherently implies endless possibilities.
Seeking the power to save the world from beyond its borders. After witnessing the advanced technology of Terra, Veltin wholeheartedly agreed with Vanchi's words.
Being full of hope, and being able to see hope, is more important than anything else.
“A courier from another world, is that it? I understand.” Kal’tsit stood up and said solemnly, “On behalf of Rhodes Island and myself, I welcome you. If possible, I hope to cooperate with you in a way that is acceptable to both of us.”
Veldin also stood up and said, "That's only right."
Having passed the test of sincerity, the next step is to quickly exchange information.
At this moment, Wan Qi asked a question that he was very interested in.
Who is the doctor you're looking for?
"He was one of the leaders of the Tower of Babel, possessed a strong talent for command, and slept in a sarcophagus in Chernobog."
"Is that stone coffin a medical device? However, most of its functions have stopped working. Now it's like a large dry cell battery, with only some areas still functioning."
When Wan Qi came out, he had already scanned the entire stone coffin with his mental power. There was indeed a strong residual energy radiation inside. The radiation protection and isolation were also very good, but the whole thing had completely stopped working. Only some areas were still functioning, and its energy seemed to have been extracted to other places.
Kal'tsit explained, "That's right, the sarcophagus is indeed a medical facility that can repair damaged bodies. I thought... have you seen it?"
Veltin then looked at Wan Qi, who stroked his chin thoughtfully before saying, "When I came out, there seemed to be something resembling ashes under the stone coffin. Could it be..."
"Oh, I see. Thank you."
Kal'tsit looked somber, while Vanchi and Veldine could only remain silent.
Could it be that Wan Qi should precisely describe the scene of himself breaking out of the coffin, so that the other party could clearly imagine how he scattered the doctor's ashes?
You're really good at comforting people (gritting teeth).
Kal'tsit took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and then said to the two of them, "Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Please speak," said Wilting.
"The Doctor is very important to Rhodes Island. We do need an excellent commander and manager right now. Miss Velding, would you be willing to become the Doctor of Rhodes Island?"
Wilding couldn't answer that question.
The fact that I traveled with Wan Qi was not something I could control. Besides, I was Si Chen from the Foundation, and the members of Si Chen's team were waiting for me to return. That was my hometown, and I couldn't just abandon the suffering in my hometown and settle down on Terra.
Wan Qi then spoke up to explain, "We are, after all, just travelers, and we don't know when we will leave, so..."
"It's alright, as long as you're here as doctors, that's fine. In return, I can provide all the technology Rhodes Island can offer, and I hope it will help you fight against the natural disasters in your hometown."
Kal'tsit's words were already very sincere. In addition, the two of them had witnessed Rhodes Island's technological level before. Just the technology related to a land-based ship could lead to many groundbreaking technological achievements.
“Okay, I’m willing to join Rhodes Island.” Veltin then looked at Wan Qi.
“I’m fine.” Wan Qi gave Virtue a thumbs up.
“Rhodes Island welcomes you both,” Kal'tsit set the tone for the event.
Kal'tsit then arranged rooms for the two of them and explained the Doctor's specific work. Veldine immediately took up his post, changing from Sichen to Doctor.
Yigeveltin is officially online, and the 9Arknights collaboration has begun (just kidding).
After leaving, Kal'tsit did not return to her office. Instead, she summoned a group of old men from Rhodes Island who had lived through the Tower of Babel era and knew the Doctor's true identity. Now that she had hired a Doctor from outside, she naturally needed to reach an agreement with them on this matter to avoid revealing her true identity.
"A traveler from another world as Rhodes Island's Doctor, Kal'tsit, is this alright?" Kroos asked.
"Should I go test them?" Warfarin looked eager, as if she were about to collect blood samples.
Considering her background, it wouldn't be a problem to say she was collecting snacks.
The Blood Reader from Another World—once you miss this opportunity, you won't find it again.
“Rhodes Island needs an excellent commander right now. Miss Veltin is very talented in this regard, and the two of them have shown enough sincerity to be worth recruiting and cooperating with. As for the other person named Wan Qi, he is very strong.”
"To receive such a high evaluation from you, you must be very strong. How strong?"
The question was asked by Ascaron, the head of SWEEP.
Kal'tsit directly uploaded a document to Ascalon, who was completely taken aback after reading it.
"Instantly annihilating the Ursus inner guards, and completely unaffected by the power of the demonic fragments! Is this the power from beyond this world?"
Kal'tsit said, "It could also be that different forces from different worlds are incompatible, which is why he is unaffected. We can't figure out the specifics yet, but his (Wanqi's) combat power is beyond doubt."
At this point, the heads of various departments at Rhodes Island reached a consensus and accepted the cooperation with the travelers from another world.
Then Warfarin asked a crucial question: "Are they both backed by an organization?"
Chapter 34: Where did Si Chen go?
(Second update, please leave a comment, comrades (**3*))
Warfarin's question also has another layer of meaning: how logical are these people's actions?
