Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

But she didn't react much, after all, the tournament was part of the business federation, and she was the official supervisor representing Kazimierz.

Let the business association deal with this kind of thing.

The older knight quickly composed himself and raised his voice to call out to the door:

“Gravel, come in.”

As the older knight called out, the door was pushed open, and a pink-haired Zalak woman stepped forward to the three of them.

The woman had a slender figure and wore a loose-fitting coat, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that the clothes did not impede her movements in any way, ensuring that she could be ready to engage in combat at any time.

On her bare shoulder, a clear barcode was visible, causing the doctor's gaze to sharpen slightly.

This barcode is a unique mark of slaves, but judging from the woman's attire and demeanor, she is clearly not a slave, but a young girl who is carefully cared for and possesses considerable skills.

"This is a fourth-tier Conquest Knight, just call her Gravel. She is also a promising young knight," the older knight introduced.

Gravel generously gave the Doctor and Amiya a standard knightly salute.

The older knight said with a smile:

"She will be responsible for your personal safety. Just leave anything to her... If possible, you don't need to trouble your own people to come out. I believe she can solve most of the troubles you encounter."

Well then, I won't disturb your rest any longer; let's leave the time to the younger generation.

After speaking, the older knight nodded in acknowledgment and slowly left the room.

The Doctor and Amiya exchanged a glance, both able to sense the older knight's underlying apprehension towards Qi Yan.

It just goes to show that a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Given the trouble Qi Yan caused, she will be taken very seriously wherever she goes. Explanations are useless, and neither the Doctor nor Amiya have ever considered explaining...

After all, it was impossible to stop Qi Yan from causing trouble; all we could do was silently pray that he would make things a little less serious.

Gravel stood quietly to the side, watching the two exchange glances, realizing that her presence might make the Doctor and the others hesitant to discuss sensitive topics.

She spoke up first:

"Gentlemen, I will be waiting outside the door the whole time. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything."

“Yes, Miss Gravel,” Amiya quickly thanked her.

gravel:"……"

Amiya was puzzled by Gravel's stare.

The doctor was also a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask:

"Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"There's something," Gravel suddenly said with a smile, "May I come a little closer to you?"

While he was still in a daze, Gravel had already stepped forward slowly, and Amiya instinctively blocked the way for the Doctor.

Gravel doesn't shy away from anyone who comes his way. When Amiya tried to block him, Gravel leaned over and gave Amiya a light peck on the cheek.

Amiya: ! ?

The atmosphere between the three of them instantly became somewhat awkward, and Amiya's face flushed red at a visible speed.

"Hmm? Why are you blushing?" Li asked, sounding like a girl next door who had successfully played a prank. "It's just a greeting when we first meet, it doesn't mean anything else."

"Well then, Knight Gravel of Casimir, please bear with me, hehe."

With a playful smile, Gravel left the room with light steps, leaving the Doctor and Amiya staring at each other in disbelief for quite some time.

"Just...just now..."

After a while, Amiya covered the spot on her face where Gravel had just kissed her, and her words were somewhat incoherent.

"The way the Kazimierz people greet each other upon first meeting is truly peculiar," the doctor mused, lost in thought.

Amiya was curious when she saw this.

Noticing Amiya's emotions, the Doctor smiled and said:

"I was just thinking, thank goodness the white dog isn't here, otherwise Miss Gravel's face might have been swollen from that first greeting."

Amiya got flustered when Dr. Jian teased her about Qi Yan.

"Haha, just kidding." The doctor waved his hands repeatedly. "After all, Qi Lin has been following the white dog around every step of the way lately, absorbing her brother's energy. Even if you gave the white dog a million times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do that."

"PhD!!"

"Haha, I was wrong, I was wrong. Even if Qi Lin were here, the white-haired dog would never back down. He would go crazy without hesitation."

That's not what I meant!!!

Amiya was so angry at the Doctor's repeated teasing that she almost bit someone on the spot.

Seeing Amiya's pearly white teeth flashing, the Doctor quickly changed the subject:

"Speaking of which, with the information I just revealed, it should save White Dog a lot of trouble participating in the tournament."

At least his initial screening as an infected person should be skipped. I put in so much effort, I deserve a 10% bonus afterwards. Amiya, you have to put in a good word for me then.”

Amiya was successfully led astray by the Doctor, her fluffy rabbit ears twitching twice as she asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Why would Mr. Qi Yan participate in that kind of competition? With his strength, he doesn't need the title of knight to prove himself, does he?"

The doctor's tone was somewhat wistful:

"Amiya, this is the trouble of adults. You are too young to understand the pressure we adults face."

Amiya seemed somewhat lost in thought.

For some reason, whenever the doctor mentioned the word "adult," she recalled the scene she had witnessed at the Dragon Gate Hotel.

Chapter 393 The Business Federation also has four types of people.

Qi Yan had just left the room where he was registering for the Knights Arena Tournament when he suddenly sneezed without warning.

He rubbed his nose and muttered:

"Which idiot is talking badly about me behind my back all day long?"

Qi Lin followed behind him, holding Qi Yan's selection form in her hands, naturally positioning herself as his manager:

"Tonight you need to defeat the Claw Beast first, and then win three consecutive matches against infected contestants. Do this three times, and you can officially qualify for the tournament as quickly as possible."

Before I left, Dr. Kal'tsit instructed me not to cause too much trouble; in other words, I couldn't kill anyone.

"Relax, relax, I'm not some kind of killer." Qi Yan said nonchalantly, "For something like the Pincer Beast, I can just slide tackle it and feed it about three-tenths of its fill. If I slide tackle it a couple more times, it'll just burst."

As for the infected, they won't die as long as I don't get hurt. You have to trust that old witch king.

The Witch King let out a soft, dissatisfied click of his tongue from Qi Yan's mind.

Qi Lin's face darkened slightly, and she said coldly:

"If you dare to use your healing ability against the Claw Beast, I will make sure you are never allowed to participate in the tournament again."

Qi Yan immediately cried out in despair: "If I don't hide my strength, how can I operate this operation?"

Qi Lin wanted to say something more, but the terminal in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

She was puzzled because her terminal only contained Kal'tsit and Warfarin's contact information. Qi Yan's terminal had been broken for a long time, and even though Qi Yan threw a tantrum in Kal'tsit's office, Kal'tsit refused to re-equip him with one.

In Kal'tsit's own words, this is called "On this land, there are many limitations on terminals, but the biggest limitation is not environmental factors, but the subjective factors of the user. I do not think there should be two ways to use terminals: long-term shutdown and destruction by the aftermath of battle."

Qi Lin's terminal was still vibrating.

She took out her terminal and looked down. Qi Yan also leaned over, pretending to look at the caller ID, but actually taking the opportunity to get close to his younger sister.

"Unknown number".

Qi Lin clicked to answer, raised her hand to her ear, and simultaneously delivered an elbow strike that sent Qi Yan flying.

Qi Yan clutched his chest, squatted on the ground, and grimaced. He only heard Qi Lin grunt twice into the terminal before hanging up.

"Congratulations to the Claw Beast and the other participants. Your identity has been exposed, and the Business Federation has directly granted you a formal tournament entry."

As she spoke, Qi Lin crumpled the selection form in her hand into a ball and accurately threw it into the trash can by the roadside.

Qi Yan suddenly stood up, looking surprised and uncertain, and said:

"Is the Business Federation being so kind? They're not going to just assign me to Lin Guang and then watch us fight amongst ourselves, are they?"

"Generally speaking, no normal person would like to seek death," Qi Linrui commented.

"If you want to die, don't take us with you!"

In a spacious conference room, a group of people are gathered around a huge conference table, seemingly finalizing some important decision.

If a well-informed person recognized the people at the conference table, they would be so frightened that their legs would go weak and they would have to hold onto the wall to stand.

All those present were leaders of top companies representing their respective sectors within the business association; any one of them could be a powerful figure who could cause an earthquake in Kazimierz with a stomp of their foot.

However, at this moment, these adults all had solemn expressions, completely lacking their usual dashing and aloof demeanor.

“That guy named Qi Yan is not easy to talk to. He may seem to belong to Rhodes Island, but Rhodes Island has no ability to control him at all.”

A portly middle-aged man said urgently, "You actually want to threaten him with Rhodes Island, and even arrange for him to fight against the Radiant Knights, forcing him to give up his qualification to participate in the competition."

I think you're not trying to prevent Qi Yan from causing trouble; you clearly feel that Qi Yan's trouble-making isn't enough, and you want to add fuel to the fire!

Immediately after he finished expressing his opinion, another person followed up with their own words:

"I also think it's inappropriate to go head-to-head with Qi Yan. In my opinion, the fact that Qi Yan is interested in our tournament shows that he also likes the feeling of being admired."

We should continuously build momentum for Qi Yan, transforming him into a new champion knight, and then use money to win him over. If this succeeds, we will gain a fighter even more powerful than the Unarmored Alliance.”

However, this view was quickly challenged by others:

"Although Qi Yan is powerful, as you all said, he is too difficult to control. I think we should appease him for the time being and then focus on the hidden interests behind Qi Yan."

Given the incidents Qi Yan caused in Lungmen and Dosoles, he already has a huge following. With a little guidance, we can create a frenzy among the residents of the entire Great Knight Territory, even surpassing the reputation of the Radiant Knights.

We will reap immeasurable benefits at that time, and afterwards we only need to proactively send a portion to Qi Yan, which will be a win-win situation.

"No, I think you're too focused on profit. We should..."

Inside the meeting room, everyone was talking at once. Although no argument broke out, no one was willing to give in, and each felt that their proposal was the correct way to resolve the potential problems caused by Qi Yan.

Among these main positions, there is also a weakest voice:

"I think Qi Yan just wants to have some fun, so let's just ignore him."

Unfortunately, this voice seemed too insignificant compared to the voices of other groups, and failed to make any waves.

It wasn't that the people in the meeting room hadn't thought of this, but rather that they all understood that this method wouldn't bring them any benefit.

Qi Yan was in great danger, but everyone felt that they had experienced far too many dangers along the way.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. No one was willing to let go of the interests represented by Qi Yan. Everyone thought they could catch the most expensive fish in the biggest storm.

Outside the bustling conference room, a huge screen of light was reflecting a full-body portrait of Lin Guang.

The image of Nearl on the screen was very different from her appearance on Rhodes Island. At this moment, Nearl was no longer wearing her usual full-body armor, but instead wore a more form-fitting light combat suit.

Under the protection of this new battle suit, Nearl's graceful figure, which was usually hidden beneath her armor, was revealed. However, the determination and heroic spirit between Nearl's brows made her devoid of any charming aura, only radiating a dazzling brilliance like that of a goddess of victory.

Every resident who passes by the light screen can't help but look up and stare fervently at the portrait of Lin Guang.

That was the Radiant Knight in their hearts, who single-handedly defeated countless strong opponents and won the championship with the most proud attitude, giving the Business Federation a resounding slap in the face.

Now, because Linguang's sister is participating in the Knights Tournament, that memory in the hearts of the residents has been successfully awakened.

When Nearl's sister was secretly plotted against and endangered in the arena, Nearl, like a radiant sun descending to earth, crashed through the arena wall, suppressing the powerful enemy with his warhammer and shield, protecting his sister, and announcing his return. This rekindled the memory, turning it into a burning emotion that almost scorched people.

On the streets, people admired the brilliance and power of the knight.

In the dark corners and filthy sewers, the infected living there wished they could give their lives for the Radiant Knight.

"Because the Radiant Knight is a hero among us infected, the first infected knight to win the championship!"

In a dilapidated neighborhood where infected people congregate, a young, red-haired Zalak girl spoke with undisguised adoration.

Behind her, a large number of infected people formed a circle, staring eagerly at the small terminal the girl had brought back.

Through the scratched screen, they looked at the Radiant Knight, who seemed to shimmer with golden light. Their hearts, which had been somewhat crushed by oppression, were filled with renewed hope.
