Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

If I were in his shoes, I could definitely get some extra money from him for his trouble.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan gasped in shock and was filled with regret, pounding his chest and stamping his feet.

Herman, with his decent skills, clearly caught the doctor's mutterings, his lips twitched, and his blood pressure spiked.

Herman covered his mouth to stop himself from cursing out loud, then turned and slapped Kronin on the head in a fit of rage.

Kronin tilted his head to the side again, his expression stiff, looking utterly hopeless.

"You've been fired. Now prepare to face the consequences of Siesta's laws."

Herman didn't want to stay near Qi Yan and the other two any longer, so he grabbed Kronin's clothes and carried him away quickly like a little chick.

Meanwhile, the Rhodes Island team also subdued the bodyguards and, still not satisfied, ran over to Qi Yan and the Doctor.

"Where is that enemy leader?"

"I just finished warming up, how is it over? Are there any other enemies to fight?"

"I'm about to collapse, but with DDD's music playing, I feel like I can take on ten people right now!"

Seeing that these guys had gotten carried away, the doctor quickly coughed lightly and gestured with his hand in the air to signal them to calm down.

"Don't forget, everyone, we're here on vacation," the doctor said loudly. "The music festival has already started, so why are we still fighting? Didn't you see that Red Bean has already taken her electric guitar and started playing on stage? As her supporters, shouldn't we cheer her on?"

Everyone turned to look and realized that their bard had broken away from the group and run onto the stage to perform with DDD.

The group's attention was immediately drawn, and they ran to the edge of the stage to continue using their remaining energy.

The professor turned to look at Qi Yan and shrugged, saying:

"The matter has been successfully concluded. The remaining handover can be left to Amiya. To prevent our ears from being tortured by Kal'tsit, let's hurry up and find Old Chen and escape Siesta."

Qi Yan took out his terminal and slowly dialed the number for Thorn.

While waiting for the call to be answered, Qi Yan didn't forget to ask the puzzled doctor:

Do you like seafood soup?

"Seafood soup?" The doctor was somewhat confused. "If it's made of cast iron, I'll like it. But if it's made of hibiscus, then please spare me."

"I mean, the seafood soup I made for you." Qi Yan's smile was a little strange.

The doctor felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

At this moment, the terminal was connected, and a thorny voice came from it, but it wasn't speaking to Qi Yan:

"There is a 73% chance of an explosion in the next ten seconds... Judging from the state of the sparks and smoke, the probability increases by another ten points."

As Thorn finished speaking, Ifrit and Carving Knife exclaimed in bewilderment from inside the terminal.

The next second, the sound of the explosion swallowed up the voices of everyone on the other end of the terminal.

Chapter 217 This person is actually quite nice.

Qi Yan moved the terminal further away, and only put it back to his ear after the explosion subsided.

"Qi Yan, what's the matter?"

A cool, thorny voice came from the terminal.

As Qi Yan led the doctor towards the beach, he asked:

"Where exactly are you on the beach? The professor and I are going to find you."

Thorn didn't ask any questions and immediately started reporting the location:

"Coordinates are 43 degrees east, slightly west..."

"Stop!" Qi Yan quickly stopped this completely incomprehensible way of reporting points. "Use landmarks or large landscapes, don't give me these incomprehensible formulas."

"...The volcano, no, the area south of the snow-capped mountain, at the very edge of the beach."

Having obtained the approximate location of the thorns, Qi Yan decisively hung up the phone.

On the beach, Thorn listened to the busy tone coming from the terminal, a hint of doubt flashing across his cool face.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After all, the other party is Qi Yan. Anyone who can keep up with Qi Yan's pace is probably not far from going crazy.

He put away his terminal, holding a can of pepper in his hand, and slowly walked towards Ifrit and the others who were dealing with the barbecue grill explosion.

During his temporary absence, in addition to Ifrit and the carving knife, a young girl named Caprini joined the scene again.

The girl's huge argali horns were very noticeable, and her beautiful short white hair, combined with her healthy wheat-colored skin, gave her a sunny feeling. However, the girl's expression was somewhat dazed and cute, and you could feel her faint silliness without her saying a word.

Thorn remembers that this girl was also an operator from Rhodes Island, codenamed Wax.

As the thorns approached the three girls, their conversation reached their ears.

"Mr. Thorn is a good person. I just saw him helping to catch a thief."

"Wow, I didn't expect him to do something so helpful when he looked so sullen and disdainful."

"I used to think he was a strange person who was hard to get along with, but it seems I misunderstood him."

Thorn's already dark face became even darker.

He walked up to the three girls, resisting the urge to sprinkle pepper on their noses, and said with a stern face:

"Before you discuss someone else, can you please confirm that the person being discussed is not present?"

Three synchronized exclamations rang out, startling Ifrit and the other two into a frenzy.

Thorn coolly raised his hand and placed the pepper powder in front of the three people:

"Your pepper powder was blown away during the explosion. I've gone to buy you a new can. Be careful with the heat this time."

After giving a word of advice, Thorn turned and left gracefully.

Unfortunately, before he had gone far, he heard the three little ones start discussing again behind him.

"This weirdo is actually pretty nice!"

"Yes, they just reminded us to stay away from the barbecue grill that was about to explode, and encouraged the carver to continue learning cooking skills and not give up because of an explosion."

"...Ifrit, let's not talk about this anymore."

Thorn, who hadn't gone far, twitched at the corner of his eye and quickened his pace to leave the three little ones.

Otherwise, he was afraid he would lose control and beat up the three girls, and if that got back to Rhodes Island, he would be laughed at for two and a half years!

As I walked briskly along the beach, the number of tourists around me gradually decreased.

Thorns quickly reached the end of the beach, found a secluded corner, and stood silently gazing at the surging sea.

"The sea? No, that's not quite right. Compared to the sea, it's too humane. Apart from the water tasting a bit salty, it doesn't taste like the sea at all."

Thorn muttered to itself, then suddenly turned to look behind it: "You've been following me for a long time now, how long are you going to keep hiding?"

"After running around in Siesta for so long, this is the first time I've ever seen the ocean."

The professor and Qi Yan walked on the beach. He looked at the surging seawater and was clearly in a good mood.

The damp, salty sea breeze caressed the two of them, washing away the fatigue from their previous journey.

Qi Yan tilted his head back, sniffed, and shook his head, saying:

"What kind of sea is this? Apart from some saltiness, you can't taste the unique fishy smell of the ocean. At best, it's a large saltwater lake."

"After all, this place is still a long way from the ocean, so let's not expect too much," the professor complained.

"That's what they say," Qi Yan turned to the professor and explained, "but actually, this inland sea has a waterway underneath that leads directly to the open sea."

The doctor's eyes widened slightly: "That's incredible! It can connect over such a long distance?"

Qi Yan thought for a moment and nodded:

"It should be true, after all, it was said by a sea god himself."

Doctor: "...You're even more awesome!"

As they chatted, they gradually moved away from the crowd and arrived at the edge of the beach.

The doctor immediately spotted the thorn standing on the beach, and then noticed a pretty girl with long pink hair standing next to it.

The doctor stopped abruptly, his expression more solemn than ever before:

"That's... a pretty girl who came to chat up Thorns!"

What should we do? Should we help the Thorns?

"Assist your sister."

Qi Yan continued walking without stopping, heading straight for the thorns.

The doctor looked bewildered: "I have a sister? You mean that pink-haired beauty is my sister?"

Qi Yan rolled her eyes at him, ignored the idiot, and strode over to Thorn, curiously examining the pink-haired woman.

The other person's clothing style was a bit strange, or rather, it was a strange style unique to rock music, which was hard to describe. The white shirt looked very delicate at first glance, but one sleeve was white and the other was black, and under the black skirt were black stockings with white stripes.

As Qi Yan approached, the pink-haired woman also noticed him. Her bright green eyes widened slightly as she curiously examined Qi Yan.

The doctor followed from behind, vaguely noticing something strange about the situation.

Thorn kept his eyes fixed on the sea the whole time, not even when the two of them approached, and his hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist, his whole body tense.

The atmosphere in the four-person room suddenly became tense, even bordering on hostile.

Finally, it was the pink-haired woman who broke the silence:

"Do you recognize me? Are you a fan of mine? Do you want my autograph?"

The series of questions left the doctor somewhat bewildered.

Qi Yan had already extended his hand and said frankly, "Yes, my eldest son is a fan of your band. He knew you were also participating in this music festival, and he specifically told me about it before I left."

"You already have a son?"

The pink-haired girl's eyes widened, and she conjured a poster out of thin air, neatly signing her name on it.

This bizarre scene made the doctor catch his breath, and his eyes instinctively fell on the autographed poster.

“Aya, that’s my name.”

The pink-haired girl noticed the doctor's gaze and explained to him with a slight smile.

Qi Yan took the poster, placed it in the doctor's hand, and then looked at Aya again, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"If I take your body and stew it into soup, can you mold a new body from it?"

Aya and the doctor were both stunned.

At this moment, the doctor finally understood what Qi Yan meant by the seafood soup he had just mentioned.

Aya took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and shook her head, saying:

“I meant no harm to your friend. I just thought it was rare to see one of Agor’s people on land, so I went up to chat for a bit.”

I have no ill intentions towards you.

Qi Yan also shook his head and said, "After all, as the sea god, it shouldn't be difficult for you to create a substitute body. I'm more curious about you seafood. I really want to know if eating you can turn me into a sea creature."

Chapter 218 Ocean

A gentle sea breeze was blowing.

The hair of the four people on the beach fluttered in the wind, and they remained somewhat silent.

The thorns remained fixed on the sea, lost in their own world, oblivious to the danger.

The doctor stared at the seemingly delicate woman before him, a chill creeping into his heart.

The sea god, a deity from the bottom of the sea, stood before him.

Moreover, this sea god had just secretly come into contact with Thorn, causing Thorn's condition to be clearly abnormal at this moment.

The doctor instinctively wanted to pick up the thorns and leave this place of trouble first.

As for the deity before us, let Qi Yan deal with him.

"Doctor, don't get agitated."
