Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Solve what?" Qi Lin asked, equally puzzled.

Qi Yan: "..."

He slapped his forehead, letting out a low groan of pain.

"I know you're obedient, but there's no need to be this obedient. Don't you have any initiative at all?"

"What is that?" Qi Lin asked, puzzled.

"You... never mind, it's your fault for not even graduating from junior high school." Qi Yan grumbled. "I'll go to Kroos's and buy you a few books... no, I'll write a few myself for you, and you can study them properly."

Qi Lin remained noncommittal.

Seeing that his younger sister was no longer staring at his tail, Qi Yan dared to slip out from behind Roy, bypass his sister, and run to the two people facing off.

He chuckled and put his arm around the stunned Tolan, speaking in a familiar tone:

"Toran, my good brother, what are you and my good colleague talking about?"

“You…you know me?” Toran exclaimed in surprise. “We were just…uh, talking about how two of my brothers are missing.”

Qi Yan suddenly realized:

"Oh dear, those two unlucky guys, of all people to offend, they had to offend my Titi, and then..."

Bang, snap, in two quick movements, it turned into a pile of mangled flesh; their relationship was so close they couldn't distinguish one from the other.

Toran: "..."

Qi Yan's joke immediately made him think at lightning speed, as if his brain had been wound up.

Could all of this have been arranged by Qi Yan?

A year ago, we... no, Kazimierz had already fallen into Qi Yan's trap?

What terrifying methods and schemes these are!

Tolan was drenched in sweat, behaving himself completely unlike his usual carefree self.

Unlike Tolan, Monique, who was standing nearby, didn't show any surprise from someone directly involved. She cautiously asked Roy with her eyes what had happened.

Roy kept his eyes down, pretending not to see Monique's pleading look.

Looking at Roy's healthy new look, Monique felt even more disgusted with this bastard Kuranta colleague.

"Hey, Monique, watch your eyes, that's our leader."

Qi Yan suddenly spoke, startling Monique: "What leader?"

Qi Yan pointed to Roy, who had a forced smile on his face, and said seriously:

"That's him, Roy is now our Unarmored Alliance's Green... uh, Green Gold rank!"

"Ranked between the Black Iron Grandmaster and the Azure Gold Grandmaster, he is our leader. Congratulations, Mr. Roy, on your promotion!"

Monique's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Roy started by clapping for himself, and the two Unarmored Alliance members behind him skillfully followed suit.

Applause echoed through the quiet streets.

Monique's patience was reaching its limit, and she let out a low shout:

"Enough, Roy, explain yourself!"

"What's there to explain?" Roy said, both amused and exasperated. "Mr. Qi Yan has joined the Unarmored Alliance. He's now your peer, a Grandmaster of Azure Gold. From now on, the two of you will be working together."

The streets fell silent once again.

The people present felt a mouthful of complaints welling up inside them, and for a moment they didn't know where to begin.

Monique took several deep breaths to calm herself, then looked at Qi Yan politely and said:

"May I make a call?"

With Qi Yan's permission, Monique immediately stepped back a few paces, took out her terminal, and sought instructions from her superiors.

But as soon as the call connected, before Monique could even speak, the person on the other end started saying something harsh.

Apart from Qi Yan, everyone present was a person of considerable strength. With keen hearing and sharp eyesight, they vaguely heard the contents of the communication, and their expressions were more interesting than the last.

Qi Yan tilted his head in confusion, looking at Monique, whose face turned pale and then red after hanging up the call.

Then he patted Tolan on the chest and asked:

"Hey bro, can you translate this for me? What the hell does 'surprise' mean?"

After a moment's thought, he tentatively asked:

"The communication said, 'Don't disturb your enjoyment. Don't talk about lapis lazuli or green gold. Even if Monique has to wear a maid outfit to take care of you, don't hesitate for a second.'"

Of course, I translated "maid outfit" myself. The original line was "I'll agree to anything." I remember you seemed to like maid outfits, back on that show in Letania... umm!

Before he could finish translating, Qi Yan quickly covered Tolan's mouth:

"That's enough, this is way too much of a surprise."

Chapter 418 Hospice Care

Toran blinked, puzzled.

Didn't you ask me to translate this?

Qi Yan could read the confusion and doubt in his innocent eyes.

"Good brother, promise me one thing," Qi Yan said gently, then lowered his hand.

Toran nodded repeatedly:

"No problem, please go ahead."

"Make the most of these few days. Eat whatever you want. If there's anything you haven't finished, hurry up and get it done."

Ignoring Tolan's widening eyes, Qi Yan said slowly, "Also, spend more time with the people around you, like Uncle Marna. These days, every meeting is one less time you'll have."

These classic remarks on end-of-life care terrified Tolan.

But Qi Yan simply patted his shoulder, then began turning his head left and right to check something.

Toran was unharmed, with no ice forming on his tail or frost on his body.

Qi Yan's eyes showed even more pity.

Something unusual must be going on. He managed to cover it up, but it was eventually exposed.

"Go on, and don't look back no matter who calls you."

Qi Yan patted Tolan on the back and offered some words of advice.

Toran almost burst into tears. He shrank back in a timid manner, and after walking a distance, he crouched down and scurried away like a big black rat.

Qi Yan spat in the direction Toran had left:

"You loudmouthed country bumpkin, you scared the hell out of me!"

After seeing Toran off, he looked at Monique again. Monique's tail was slightly ruffled, and she subconsciously took a half step back.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you." Qi Yan said with a smile, "Give me some face, my sister has joined the Red Pine Knights after all, don't make things difficult for them tonight."

Monique's expression was rather unpleasant.

She wasn't lying; she hates it when people interfere with her work.

But the situation at this moment does not allow her, a mere Qingjin, to speak out. In other words, pleasing Qi Yan is her top priority right now.

With a creak, Monique released the taut bowstring, slung the longbow over her shoulder, and strode to Roy's side.

Qi Yan shifted his focus again, looking at Ye Zong and waving goodbye from afar:

"Hey girl, we meet again."

Wild Mane's mind was a complete mess at that moment.

From the moment Qi Yan appeared, the situation spiraled out of her control, and Ye Zong, despite being right there, felt completely out of place.

"You...you're from the Wuzhou Alliance?" Wild Mane scratched his head vigorously. "And your original name was Qi Yan...hiss, that name sounds familiar."

Seeing Ye Zong scratching her head vigorously, looking like her head was itchy and she was about to grow a brain, Qi Yan quickly interrupted her with a smile:

"That's right, I am a member of the Unarmored Alliance, and I currently hold the position of Azure Gold Grand Master."

Go back and tell the rest of your Red Pine Knights that I'm now in charge of the Unarmored Alliance, and things are completely different now. You troublemaking little girls are about to face hellish difficulty.

Wild Mane swallowed hard, unsure of what to say.

She hesitated for a moment, then tried taking two steps back, preparing to escape the scene and go back to Sona for help analyzing the current situation.

But Qi Yan suddenly called out to her:

"Don't forget my little sister, she's also one of your Red Pine Knights."

As he spoke, Qi Yan ran over and pushed his younger sister's shoulder, shoving her in front of Ye Zong without saying a word.

Before Qi Lin could speak, Qi Yan began to give her a long, rambling instruction:

"Once you're in the Red Pine Knights, you must work hard and not slack off. You can't refuse any task the leader asks you to do. Unite with the members, help each other, and strive for the future of the infected, shining brightly and contributing your energy."

"All I know is how to make refrigeration," Qi Lin retorted earnestly.

"...You really need to put ideological work on the agenda."

Ye Zong listened to Qi Yan instructing his younger sister, and his already not-so-sharp mind became even more confused.

She pointed at Qi Lin, then at Qi Yan, and said in disbelief:

"You are a member of the Unarmored Alliance, yet you demand that your sister join the Red Pine Knights?"

Don't you know we're mortal enemies?

"What does this have to do with us siblings looking for jobs?" Qi Yan retorted. "How could you bear to reject my most adorable sister in the world?"

Wild Mane choked for a moment.

Just then, Toran, who had clearly already slipped away, suddenly poked half his head out from behind a trash can and said in a lewd manner:

"Kuranta, are you an idiot?"

Such a good talisman, why don't you tie it to yourself right away? What are you hesitating for?

Toran wished he could rush out and agree to this wonderful offer on Wildmane's behalf.

He's the only person on this land who can beat Qi Yan!

Qi Yan's move was clearly aimed at putting the Red Pine Knights in an invincible position. What a load of bull, what a crappy Business Federation! With Qi Lin joining, the Red Pine Knights could just charge over and smash their heads in, and they wouldn't dare to resist!

Wildmane nodded dazedly, which was taken as agreement.

Qi Yan was immediately very satisfied, and holding Qi Lin's hand, he started nagging like an old father:

"This is your second job, so you must take it seriously. As you can see, I used my connections to get you this job, so you absolutely cannot slack off like you did tonight."

Qi Lin, looking disgusted, shook off Qi Yan's paws, which were mimicking a Rasengan, and asked:

"What exactly do you want me to do?"

"Make friends!"

Qi Lin felt that Qi Yan was worrying for nothing. She didn't need any friends; he was enough for her.

However, Qi Lin thought of some unpleasant experiences from the past and did not choose to object.

After she walked up to Wildmane, Toran immediately jumped out from behind the trash can and trotted up to Qilin like a lackey:

"Young Miss, this way please. Kuranta, quickly lead the way for our young lady. Young Miss, please watch out for the small puddle ahead."

Each of the three harbored their own thoughts and gradually drifted apart.

After Qi Yan and his younger sister's figure completely disappeared from sight, he immediately stood up straight.

With her hands behind her back, she walked proudly to Roy and the others, her pregnant belly sticking out, and glared at them with her nostrils flared:

"What are you looking at me for? Let's go back to the meeting!"

A beautiful white-haired Kuranta girl sat upright in the front row of the conference room. Her amber eyes were somewhat unfocused, and she seemed lost in thought. Her long, smooth hair hung obediently behind her, and her pure white hair seemed to be the purest color in the world.

The girl, dressed in white, is the renowned Platinum-ranked member of the Unarmored Alliance, and also a Pegasus that many people envy.
