Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Chapter 227 How about we give it a try?

His grayish-white eyes widened slightly.

What did he do?

Why does setting up a stall lead to such a serious crisis as having your legs broken?

The professor gave Qi Yan a jab, signaling him to speak properly.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

Qi Yan rubbed his lower back and grimaced, saying, "I've found a way to deal with Eureka. It's this handsome young man in front of me, who's even more delicate than a little girl."

"What is this all about?"

Even with a PhD's intellect, it was difficult to keep up with Qi Yan's thought process.

Qi Yan waved his hand without answering and walked straight towards the blue-haired boy who looked disappointed and was about to leave.

"Good brother, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Qi Yan stepped forward and grabbed the boy, his face full of enthusiastic smiles: "Although there were some mishaps, the eating contest can still continue."

Please wait here for a moment, and I will immediately arrange for someone to buy a new oven. Moreover, to show my sincerity, I will change the reward for the big eater to this young girl.

If you win the match, this girl is yours!

Eureka was terrified.

"You...you...this...this...human trafficking! This is illegal human trafficking! I didn't even consent!"

Eureka suddenly stood up, so anxious that he began to stammer.

The boy looked equally bewildered: "What would I do with this girl? She's not edible."

Eureka was completely numb.

She felt the world had gone mad.

Or maybe she's gone mad.

Qi Yan turned to the doctor and gestured for him to quickly arrange a new oven. Then he pulled the boy to sit down at the stall before finally turning his gaze to Eureka.

“I know your story. You were originally the host of the Dosoles resort promotion program, but Ernesto fired you because of equipment problems.”

Qi's tone was somewhat seductive, like a creepy uncle trying to trick underage girls into eating lollipops:

"Are you really willing to let that big golden retriever bully you like this? Are you really willing to let your stable job just fall apart like this? Don't you want to prove your strength to Ernesto?"

Eureka's eyes widened, her little pink fists clenched, and the sad memories of the past few days were directly triggered by Qi Yan and surged into her heart.

“What can I do?” Eureka pouted sadly. “I can’t resist, and don’t even think about kidnapping me. I can pay you money, but I will never agree to your weird and nonsensical requests.”

Qi Yan clicked his tongue lightly, looking reproachful:

"What are you thinking, little girl? I'm just trying to introduce you to a way to get revenge on Ernesto."

You know the Extreme Triathlon Grand Prix, right? The organizer is Ernesto's boss, Mayor Candela. If you participate and win, you can prove yourself and win a huge prize from Candela!

"bonus?!"

Eureka's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Seeing that this young girl, who had become a debtor through her own efforts, had taken the bait, Qi Yan became even more enthusiastic in her introduction:

"That's right, as long as you team up with this young man, you're guaranteed to make it to the finals and compete for the championship prize!"

Eureka had to admit that she was tempted.

But then the boy suddenly raised his hand and asked in confusion:

"But why should I bring her along?"

"That's a good question, Shuiyue!"

Qi Yan looked approving and, before Shui Yue could speak, continued, "Don't be surprised that I know your identity, because we are the same. I was recently squeezed out of the large group."

I know where you come from, and I know you came to Dosoles to have fun and experience the local customs and culture.

You have to believe me, this girl named Eureka is Dosoles's greatest source of amusement!

Shuiyue was dumbfounded.

Upon hearing the word "large group," he nearly unleashed his tentacles to devour Qi Yan.

However, reason told him that he could not do that, because he was not Hai Si; he wanted to become human, and humans should not eat their own kind at will.

Mizuki and Eureka were both silent for a moment, then exchanged a glance and spoke at the same time:

"How about we give it a try?"

Seeing this, Qi Yan felt much more at ease.

He managed to handle these two unsettling factors effectively.

Eureka was excited and was about to run over to get to know Shuiyue, but as soon as she took a step, she was startled by Qi Yan's gaze and shrank back, obediently staying within her own encirclement.

Shuiyue felt inexplicably happy.

This was the first time he had made friends since leaving Hai Si. Although he felt somewhat forced into it, Shui Yue didn't care.

"Um, I haven't asked yet, do you have a name?"

Shuiyue looked at Qi Yan, somewhat curious about Luper, who claimed to be her kind.

In his perception, Qi Yan was not Hai Si.

"My name is Qi Yan, and I currently work for a pharmaceutical company called Rhodes Island. You are welcome to visit. If you have the chance, I will take you back to the Great Group. The Great Group is quite different now than before."

Qi Yan spoke with such conviction that Shui Yue inexplicably felt a sense of trust in him.

While the two were chatting idly, the doctor hurriedly returned carrying the new oven.

Business at the stalls has resumed.

With Jie and Patriot in charge, the food was served at lightning speed, and in no time, three pies the size of washbasins were delivered to Shuiyue.

Faced with such an exaggerated amount of food, Shuiyue remained calm and ate bite by bite.

Given Hai Si's physique, this amount of food is not excessive.

But as he was eating, he sensed that something was wrong.

Every few bites, he felt like he was choking.

The food itself is fine, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, so where does the problem lie...?

As Shuiyue chewed her food, she turned to look at Eureka, who was staring at her expectantly, and a sense of unease suddenly arose in her heart.

As the two stared at each other, Shuiyue swallowed the food in her mouth, then inexplicably choked.

As night slowly falls, the streets of Dosoles are illuminated by dazzling neon lights.

The number of tourists coming and going on the food street has also increased significantly.

But Qi Yan and the others had already started packing up their stall.

They weren't really there to make money; the nightlife had begun, and they were preparing to pack up and go celebrate.

What should I do if I don't want to go back to Rhodes Island?

The doctor hugged the Originium oven, stuffed it into the storage space under the stall, and exclaimed, "So this is what it feels like to be a boss. It's really addictive."

Qi Yan tidied up the remaining ingredients and replied:

"When we have the chance in the future, I'll take you to prison. That's the real life of a god, with plenty of food, drink, and fun, and you don't have to work."

The patriot unlocked the wheels under his booth and said in a deep voice:

"Prison is not a good place. Go there less often in the future."

Faced with his father's nagging, Qi Yan chuckled and didn't dare to argue.

Jie wiped his newly bought kitchen knife and looked at the professor expectantly:

"Boss, today's wages."

"Salary? What salary... Haha, just kidding, I'll settle the bill for you right now."

The doctor, seeing the gleaming blade in the boy's hand, quickly changed his tune.

Soon, the group received their wages from the PhD student.

Qi Yan clutched the Lungmen Coin tightly in his hand, excitedly raising it high above his head:

"It's money, real money, genuine Lungmen dollars!"

"Hey sis, did you see that? I made money!"

Qilin, who was reading medical notes on Rhodes Island, suddenly sneezed.

Warfarin happened to pass by and joked:

"Have a cold?"

Why do you always suspect that snow wolves can catch a cold?

A hint of helplessness flashed across Qi Lin's face as she turned to look at the night outside the window: "It must be Qi Yan talking about me again. I wonder what he's doing right now."

"They're definitely plucking some little Liberi girl's feathers!"

Warfarin blurted it out.

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, feeling a chill envelop her.

Chapter 228 Where in life do we not meet each other

On the neon-lit street, Qi Yan and his group of four strolled among the crowd.

Patriot's tall figure stood out in the crowd, attracting the attention of passersby from time to time.

Patriots didn't take these situations to heart.

He enjoys his life now.

Playing and having fun with Qi Yan allowed me to completely relax, and my daughter's condition has been brought under control. Now, I've made many friends in Rhodes Island.

Recalling these days when her daughter's walk began to reveal her rabbit-like nature, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth beneath the Patriot mask.

"Grandpa, how about we go to the casino for some fun?"

Qi Yan suddenly turned his head and asked a question.

The patriot's relaxed heart tightened instantly, his red eyes fixed on Qi Yan:

"Casinos are not good places, you are not allowed to go!"

Qi Yan waved his hand and said, "With the doctor here, he can even figure out the color of his opponent's underwear when playing cards. He won't lose. Dosoles is a rare city that allows casinos to exist. It would be a shame not to go and see it."

"I'm not that kind of thing!"

The doctor immediately spoke out to defend himself.

The patriot stubbornly insisted: "Gambling is addictive and depressing; it must never be touched!"

Qi Yan grinned, but didn't insist too much.

He wanted to go to the casino, just to try his luck and see if he could run into Lin Yuxia, who was preparing to become the new underground queen of Dosoles.

He remembered that the Rat King's daughter was not as gentle as ordinary people.

After receiving the commission from Candela to investigate the smuggling case with Chen, she will take swift and decisive action, directly integrating a group of people to work for her and gather intelligence.

However, seeing how patriots resisted places like casinos, he gave up his plans and began to enjoy his vacation.

"Now that I'm rich, I'll have three scoops of ice cream!"

Qi Yan waved his hand and strode confidently toward the roadside ice cream stand.

"Qi Yan?!"

A familiar exclamation suddenly came from beside the ice cream stand.

Qi Yan turned his head and couldn't help but grin.

We meet again somewhere in life!
