Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

"Leave people under the knife!"

As the two shouted to stop her, Eleanor was forcefully thrown away by the shapeshifter.

Alfonso and his partner, who were engrossed in their own world, were momentarily stunned. Out of the corner of their eye, they caught something flying towards them and instinctively took a half-step back.

Elena successfully passed between the two men, letting out a scream that faded into the distance on the sea, finally stopping abruptly with a splash of water.

The four people on the deck looked at each other in silence.

"Hiss, in TV dramas, when they're showing a scene where someone is spared from execution, they always throw the imperial edict or decree on the ground." Qi Yan awkwardly tried to shift the blame to the shapeshifter.

"No, it's because you clearly didn't have the strength, but you insisted on pretending to pull Elene along." The shapeshifter retorted, defiant yet indignant. "I could have made Elene crash into Alfonso before he could react, but you slowed things down!"

"I'm just afraid Alfonso might instinctively slash at me with his knife." Qi Yan casually tossed the pot away.

Alfonso, suddenly caught in the crossfire, was speechless.

Garcia looked left and right, but finally decided to jump into the water to save the person.

After Garcia left, Alfonso returned to his usual demeanor, frowning as he said:

"What is the meaning behind your actions, gentlemen?"

"We're just here for the fun." The shapeshifter took a step back, giving the spotlight to Qi Yan.

Facing Alfonso's gaze, Qi Yan's expression remained unchanged as he spread his hands and said:

“If we don’t do this, given Garcia’s personality, who knows how long you two will drag things out before you can confess your feelings to each other.”

“If you want my thanks, I don’t mind giving you a thank-you speech at the last minute,” Alfonso said coldly. “But if you’re trying to stop me, I advise you not to waste your energy.”

"I think you don't understand at all," Qi Yan said with a wicked smile.

"What do you know?" Alfonso asked, puzzled.

"This captain is such a loser!" Qi Yan pointed at him and teased the shapeshifter.

"That's just lame!"

The shapeshifter promptly began to fawn over him.

Just as Alfonso's face turned almost black with anger, the shapeshifter calmly explained:

"The transformation of the sea is not entirely hopeless. There is still hope for your future. Rather than bravely facing death, you should endure a little longer, return to the shore to see your old friends, and also turn the significance of your more than sixty years of perseverance into practical results."

The technology aboard the Fool is a treasure trove for Iberia today; you and Garcia, these two living relics, are worth even more than the Fool.

"Are you telling the truth?" Alfonso asked in astonishment.

The shapeshifter pointed a finger and said confidently:

"Qi Xiaobai never lies!"

"You damn white dog, you're trying to fool me again!"

The professor kicked the snowman he had just built to pieces, venting his frustration.

Magellan, who was adding canned food by the campfire, looked puzzled, nudged Extreme beside him, and asked:

"What's wrong with the doctor now?"

Extreme held a hot water cup in her hand and pouted:

"He had almost finished extrapolating the anti-collapse paradigm, and then, combined with the situation in the South, successfully derived a result."

"What's the result?"

"Qi Yan's claim that the situation in the north is so dire that only a PhD can handle it is pure deception."

There were too many shocking elements, and Magellan was momentarily at a loss as to which one to be shocked first.

After a moment of contemplation, Elki tentatively asked:

"The collapse that has plagued Sami and Ursus for years, has really been solved by the Doctor just like that?"

Simone, however, was more focused on another point:

"The calamities on the ice plains have intensified to the point that we encounter them four or five times a day. Isn't that serious enough?"

After kicking the snowman representing Qi Yan to pieces, the Doctor, still furious, returned to the campfire and overheard the two asking questions.

He plopped down, grumbling and muttering:

"We are still a long way from solving the collapse problem, but the rules I currently have are enough to ensure that we can proceed smoothly."

That's why I realized that the name the white-haired dog kept mentioning wasn't serious yet, and all the changes were just a test.

"A test?" Simone's expression turned grim. "At least one-tenth of Sami's land is no longer habitable, and the casualty rate on the northern front is increasing year by year..."

"I know I know."

The doctor interrupted Simone's complaint and explained, "If you pay attention to what the Arctic said, Qi Yan said that the situation in the North is so serious that I have to handle it."

In fact, the problem is quite significant, but the solution is actually very simple. However, because of the white-haired dog's misleading, it has now become unsolvable.

Simone and the others looked at each other, none of them understanding.

The doctor snatched the hot water cup from Extreme's hand and poured it all into the mask.

He let out a long, comfortable sigh, tossed the thermos back to Jijing, and said with a hint of resentment:

"My super intelligence tells me that to solve the hidden danger in the north, all I need to do is use my super power to rush to the source and give it a good beating, which will at least buy Terra ten years."

But the superpower lured the superintelligence to suffer in this freezing wasteland, while it went off to deal with troublesome situations that required the superintelligence's mediation.

Everyone: "..."

Jijing refilled the hot water cup and said with a wry smile:

"Hopefully Qi Yan won't cause any trouble."

"Don't be silly, Extremis," the Doctor said slowly. "That white-haired dog goes crazy sometimes, and I always criticize his intelligence, which has led to Rhodes Island's atmosphere being skewed by me."

But is the white dog really an idiot? I said his cerebral cortex is smooth, based on my own experience, but don't forget, this guy is the only one who can perfectly follow my train of thought.

"Hmm... I'm relieved to hear that." Jijing let out a long sigh.

"Reassured my ass!"

The doctor angrily said, "That bastard's schemes are getting more and more insane. The fact that he threw me out proves that his plan this time is so insane that I can't possibly agree with it!"

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the combat units that the white-haired dog has arranged will soon be delivered to me. I need to quickly resolve the situation in the north; I need to immediately head south and apply the brakes to his plans!

Extreme was clearly unable to keep up with the Doctor's train of thought, and scratched his head, saying:

"So, skeletal behemoths aren't considered units of combat strength? You said they'd be delivered quickly, but how quickly do you mean quickly?"

The doctor turned his head to look into the distance.

The others followed his gaze and saw a small group of just a few people appear at the edge of their field of vision.

The composition of this team left Ji Jing and the others somewhat dumbfounded.

"The Grand Tutor of Yan Kingdom?!" Ji Jing exclaimed in disbelief. "And the Ursus Imperial Guard? How did they all get together?"

Elchi silently withdrew his gaze and looked at the Doctor beside him, who had already calmed down and was no longer in a state of agitation.

Who exactly is manipulating prophecies?

Chapter 1067 Testing each other

The Grand Tutor, wrapped in a thick winter coat, saw the group of scholars in the distance.

He noticed the doctor immediately.

Wearing a black trench coat and with his face covered by a suspicious hood and mask, there are few people in this land with such distinctive features besides the Doctor from Rhodes Island.

"Finally caught up." The Grand Tutor breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the four sharp-edged men beside him, saying, "You've had a long journey."

Li Ren showed great respect to the Yan Kingdom envoy: "We were merely using some hunting techniques. We admire your willingness to risk your life, sir."

"It's just that I was asked to do it, and I also have some ability to protect myself."

The Grand Tutor glanced at the metal case in his hand.

That's where his true confidence to step into the icy plains came from.

“Sir, the other side is waiting for us to come over,” a sharp-edged man reminded us.

"That's how it should be."

The Grand Tutor made no attempt to be discreet and took the initiative to approach the camp of the scholars and others.

Simone had already silently gripped her staff, her gaze fixed on the four bladed figures, ready to strike at any moment.

"Calm down," Extreme said reassuringly from the side.

“I’m very calm,” Simone said calmly. “Otherwise, I would have made my move the moment I saw the other party.”

As she spoke, her single golden eye remained fixed on the blade.

When she lost an eye to the Ursus, there was no possibility of reconciliation between her and any Ursus who dared to set foot in Sami.

Even if these blades are warriors whom Simone would respect, only a dead blade, and a blade that has died cleanly and without leaving any contamination, is a good blade.

Sensing that something was wrong, Magellan was at a loss and subconsciously looked at the Doctor. Finding that the latter did not react much, he cautiously moved closer to Elchi.

Elkiel grasped Magellan's hand to soothe the little bird's nervousness, but his gaze never left the Doctor.

As the core of the team, the doctor's performance was more subdued than anyone else's.

"Come on in, have a seat."

He greeted her as if they were old friends.

The Grand Tutor sat down on the ground and looked at the Doctor across the campfire.

He brushed away the light frost that had formed on his beard and smiled, "I've heard so much about you, Doctor of Rhodes Island. It seems you're not surprised by my appearance."

The doctor responded with a calm laugh:

"How could I not be surprised? It's just that no one says you have to show it if you're surprised, right?"

"That's right."

The Grand Tutor placed the metal case beside him, signaling the four assassins behind him to relax and sit down for a rest.

The two groups that had suddenly joined together sat around a campfire. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the atmosphere fell silent, with only the crackling of the wood burning in the flames.

While keeping an eye on Simone's emotional outburst, Jijing secretly pondered the current situation.

He didn't know how the doctor discovered that there was a tail following behind, but from the doctor's deduction, he knew that the appearance of the Grand Tutor must have been arranged by Qi Yan, and that he brought with him some combat power sent by Qi Yan.

Extreme vision subtly swept over the metal suitcase.

Clearly, the combat power capable of altering the landscape of the ice plains lies within the box.

However, for reasons unknown, the Grand Tutor did not voluntarily hand over his suitcase upon seeing the postdoctoral fellow.

The campfire generously released its heat.

"Ha, would you like some water?" Ji Jing magically produced five empty cups.

Without waiting for the Grand Tutor's response, he conjured up a kettle, got up, and went over to forcibly refill the kettle with hot water for the Grand Tutor and his four companions.

The Grand Tutor held the water cup in both hands, smiling gently at Ji Jing:

"Thank you, Mr. Extreme Realm. It seems you get along very well with your friend Qi Yan."

"I'm not bragging!" Ji Jing plopped down next to the Grand Tutor. "When it comes to making friends, even Qi Yan would have to call me 'ancestor'!"

Putting everything else aside, just look at my handsome face! Even without saying a word, just standing there in front of people instantly boosts their favorability!

"Mr. Jijing is handsome and has a very good personality," the Grand Tutor politely echoed.

Ji Jing was overjoyed, wishing he could immediately become sworn brothers with the Grand Tutor, and grinned foolishly:

“Ever since we met in Yan Kingdom, I knew that I, Jijing, and you, Grand Tutor, are kindred spirits, really! Next time you come to Rhodes Island, just mention my name, it'll work!”

The Grand Tutor maintained his polite smile.

"Seagull, shut up," the professor finally spoke. "Does the Grand Tutor of Yan Kingdom need to be mentioned on the island?"

Ji Jing quickly poured himself a cup of hot water, raised the cup to apologize, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The Grand Tutor politely raised his cup and took a sip.
