Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"They are not worthy!" the Nightmare Knight said without turning his head. "I only fight against true powerhouses."

"Fine, since you put it that way, I'll grant your wish." Qi Yanhao said arrogantly, "As long as you finish this deal with me, I'll introduce you to a powerful expert so you can have a good fight!"

The Nightmare Knight stopped in his tracks.

He slowly turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Could it be your boss?"

He's very strong, but he doesn't want to fight me; all he knows is how to run away. That doesn't count as a fight at all.

Qi Yan quickly patted his chest and assured him:

"Don't worry, as long as you follow me, I'll tie him up and throw him in a cage. I won't let him out until we've settled things with a fight!"

Nightmare Knight: ?

Although he doesn't quite understand the current social structure, shouldn't the position of leader be a respected one, similar to that of a Khan?

Seeing the Nightmare Knight deep in thought, Qi Yan disregarded everything else and continued to increase the stakes:

“One isn’t enough? No problem, I also know the Radiant Knight, the Candle Knight, and... if all else fails, I’ll kidnap the last champion, the Blood Knight.”

"You know the Blood Knight, right? Over there... Look at that big guy in dark red armor next to the Radiant Knight on that screen."

The Nightmare Knight caught the key point: "Could it be that you are also a powerful being?"

Qi Yan paused for a moment.

"Haha, how could that be? I'm just a pitiful, weak, and very blue little Rupert." Qi Yan chuckled dryly and stepped back. "But I have some connections. You know the Federation, right? I can get them to help me. They listen to me a lot."

"Toran, say something!"

Suddenly called out by name, Toran shuddered and quickly continued Qi Yan's words:

"I also know a very powerful friend, the Dark Knight, do you know him?"

Anyway, he's very strong, even stronger than the Radiant Knight.

Qi Yan: "..."

He turned to look at Tolan, who blinked innocently at him.

The two parties then quickly reached a consensus.

Friends are meant to be betrayed!

The two moved in perfect unison, their eyes fixed expectantly on the Nightmare Knight.

Faced with these two strange individuals, the Nightmare Knight felt a growing attraction.

Agreeing to their offer seems much faster than slowly wandering around like this and waiting for those stupid and complicated knightly tournament arrangements.

Thinking of this, the Nightmare Knight slowly nodded...

"After the Radiant Knight defeated the Candle Knight, it caused a huge uproar in the media and on the city network."

"In addition, the recent violent incidents involving various illegal infected individuals in the Great Knight Territory have further exacerbated public panic."

"The person in charge of Plot Zero and the spokesperson for the Business Federation will hold a press conference in the coming days."

The sound of the television broadcast reached the ears of the people inside the room.

The Doctor rested his chin on his hands, remaining silent. Besides him, Amiya and Gravel were also present in the room.

“Doctor, these news reports…” Amiya asked hesitantly.

Gravel added:

"There may have been some embellishment, but it's not entirely baseless."

The infected knights did indeed begin to stir, especially after the Radiant Knight defeated the Candle Knight... There were thirteen violent incidents that night alone.

The most outrageous thing is that the federation building was even broken into, and there are even rumors that a company owned by a board member was attacked and lost a large amount of property.

“These are…” Amiya vaguely sensed something.

Before the doctor could answer her, there was a knock on the door.

Li walked over and opened the door, nodding and smiling at the visitor:

"Miss Furong, please come in."

After returning the greeting, Furong rushed in and whispered to the three of them, "Something big has happened!"

This morning, when Miss Shining and I went to check Rhodes Island's drug reserves, we found a lot of gels that had appeared out of nowhere in the warehouse, along with a lot of other miscellaneous materials!

"Mr. Qi Yan..."

Amiya covered her face and let out a soft sigh.

Without a doubt, there's no one else in this city who would do something like this except Qi Yan.

Gravel's expression was somewhat strange, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Isn't Qi Yan afraid of causing trouble for Rhodes Island by doing this?"

"If he doesn't do this, won't Rhodes Island get into trouble?" the Doctor asked with a smile. "You've seen Rhodes Island's actions these days. No matter how discreet we are, we can't avoid being discovered."

So it's better to take advantage of the situation and make some money while things are in disarray; Rhodes Island's fiscal deficit is quite severe.

Hibiscus timidly reminded her from the side:

"If Qi Yan did this, then I feel that these supplies were not stolen by him for Rhodes Island."

Next to the extra materials, someone had deliberately circled them with a marker and written, "Personal property, please do not touch."

The doctor let out a disdainful laugh: "Naive white dog, once something is in my hands, can it still be under his control?"

Amiya, you're on duty at the warehouse tonight. You must be completely focused. And above all, absolutely, above all, do not let the warehouse be robbed.

“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?” Amiya smiled wryly. “Mr. Qi Yan finally managed to acquire some assets, which may be his and Dr. Kal’tsit’s hope for paying off their debts.”

Seeing that Amiya had already said so, the Doctor had no choice but to settle for second best:

"Then let's try a different approach. Add a clause to the Rhodes Island regulations that requires a storage fee of 99% of the value of the stored personal belongings to be placed in Rhodes Island's public warehouses."

Amiya: "...Then I'd better go to my shift, so that Mr. Qi Yan won't be even more upset when he sees that there's only one piece of gel left."

Chapter 441 A dance for three is ultimately too difficult to perform (laughs)

The streets today seem somewhat unusual to Lin Guang.

On ordinary days, the streets are full of pedestrians rushing about, busy with life, as if they can never stop.

But even though it was only just nightfall, pedestrians began to gather on the streets.

Lin Guang stood on the street and watched the crowd slowly approach from a distance. Only then did she realize that it was a procession.

The banners held high by the team members left Lin Guang speechless.

"The infected have left Kazimir! The infected do not belong to the Grand Knights!"

"The infected patient treatment area is like a petri dish for Oripathy!"

Under the leader's organization, the shouts coalesced into a single force, carrying far and wide.

Lin Guang silently watched the parade without making any move, but the other party noticed her and immediately took action.

The group quickly gathered around Lin Guang.

"...What do you want?" Nearl chose to face them.

The leader raised his arm and demanded of Lin Guang:

"Swordsman, you've come at the right time. Do you know how the current state of the city came about?"

Infected individuals act openly, instigating violence in the city and dragging innocent citizens into it. Where do they get the audacity?

"You gave them the courage! It was you and the Blood Knights, you infected knights! You gave them the power to rebel!"

Everyone watched Nearl, waiting for her response.

But Lin Guang remained silent.

Another protester stepped forward and said in a complicated tone:

“Swordsman, I know you’re not a bad person. I used to be a fan of yours.”

But if you continue to participate in the Special Championship, it will only give other infected people the illusion that they can change their situation...

"Take care of yourself, Radiant Knight."

After saying that, he turned and retreated back into the group.

Seeing that Lin Guang did not respond at all, the leader did not want to linger any longer and turned to call the group to continue their march.

Nearl: "..."

She suddenly had an impulse to rush over and stop the protester who had spoken up, and ask him why, in his mind, infected people could not change their condition.

Why should infected people have to obediently endure oppression and injustice?

But in the end, reason prevailed over impulse.

Lin Guang knew that what she was doing would not awaken people's thinking, but would only become the spark that ignited the powder keg.

Once this emotion erupts, it becomes uncontrollable.

"If it were Qi Yan, he would have already rushed up by now."

Lin Guang suddenly muttered a self-deprecating remark under his breath, then shook his head.

Given her personality, she was destined not to make the same choice as Qi Yan.

Watching the parade disappear into the distance, Lin Guang turned and left the street; she had an important appointment that day.

The city's splendor was gradually left behind by Lin Guang. She walked step by step out of the bustling city and came to a rare place of tranquility in the city.

This is a cluster of low-rise buildings, with the colorful neon lights clearly visible behind them, but they do not illuminate this area.

Lin Guang looked around. This place, which she should have been most familiar with, now felt somewhat unfamiliar.

"What's wrong, Nearl?"

A greeting came from behind Linguang: "Your expression doesn't look like that of a knight who has just won a great victory."

Shining pushed a wheelchair, in which sat a serene woman. The woman was also a Sarkaz, but her rounded black horns were not ferocious compared to other Sarkaz; in fact, they had a somewhat cute appearance.

The woman's golden hair cascaded down her back, and her blue, watery eyes were filled with concern.

"Rinko, if you have something on your mind, you should talk about it."

Lin Guang smiled and said, "I was just thinking about the Infected."

Nightingale looked up at Shining, who nodded to her reassuringly, then looked at Nearl:

"The Doctor and Amiya have already made arrangements for these matters, so you don't need to worry about them now."

Lin Guang was not too surprised by this.

Shining pushed Nightingale to Nearl's side.

The nightingale raised its head and gently took Nearlight's hand:

"Just focus on shining your light. Of course, don't push yourself too hard. You are strong, but fatigue can accumulate. You need to relax occasionally."

Lin Guang smiled with relief:

“I know, I’m not as tired as I thought, because… although I didn’t want to ask Qi Yan for help, I feel at ease knowing he’s here.”

Shining and Nightingale exchanged a smile, both able to see the ease in each other's eyes.

They were initially worried that, given Lin Guang's personality, which was no less stubborn than D32 steel, she would resist Qi Yan's influence.

But clearly, they were overthinking it.

"To be honest, since I usually stay in the wards of the medical department, I haven't really had any contact with Qi Yan yet."

Nightingale said softly, "Most of my understanding of Qi Yan comes from your retellings. But I can sense that he is a gentle person. In your words, his personality is so lively, yet he never bothers us patients who need to rest."

Shining smiled and comforted her:

"There will be a chance. Next time I see him, I will tell him that I came to see you."

But I need to hurry too. He said he has to go to Victoria after this is over; the situation there must have changed.

“Qi Yan, you’ve been very busy.” Nightingale raised her hand to tidy the strands of hair that had been blown by the evening breeze. “I heard he likes music. If I see him, I can sing for him to relieve his fatigue.”
