Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

She immediately started shaking uncontrollably, as if she had switched to vibrate mode.

"Qi Yan, stop scaring her."

In the end, Shuiyue couldn't bear to see Haimo continue to experience the "first time meeting Qiyan syndrome," so she smiled wryly and waved for Qiyan to sit down.

Texas and the others also rushed over, curiously looking Haimo up and down.

"What... are we going to do?" Haimo asked timidly.

Exusiai was the first to jump around: "I was just wondering if you're really that delicious? Even Qi Lin praised you!"

"Exusiai, shut up!"

Texas sternly reprimanded him, then turned to Haimo with a gentle smile: "It's good to see you're alright. We still need to help Qilin repair the ship. We'll check your condition again when we rest... uh, cough cough! I mean, we'll discuss checking your physical condition."

In short, it's all in the past now, so please don't feel pressured. We will always be there for you.

Hai Mo looked up, moved, at the curious and concerned crowd around her, tears welling up in her eyes again.

"Thank you everyone," she said, her voice choked with emotion.

"What does Haimo's tears taste like?" Qi Yan asked curiously, stretching out his dog paw.

Shuiyue grabbed his wrist, threatening him with a forced smile:

"I consider Haimo my own little sister."

As someone who dotes on his sister, Qi Yan knew how terrifying this threat was, so he quickly chuckled and withdrew his hand.

Haimo really cried this time.

She stood up, using both her hands and feet, and pleaded while clinging to Texas's arm:

"Take me with you to repair the ship, I've recovered."

Under Exusiai's wide-eyed gaze, Texas smiled wryly and embraced Haimo, gently comforting her:

"It's okay, Qi Yan was just joking, he won't hurt you."

"But since you want to repair the boat, I won't stop you. You can help us ward off the dangers in the ocean while you're at the shore."

"Okay!" Haimo nodded repeatedly.

Qi Yan watched enviously as the Texas beauty led a group of people away in her arms, and all his envy turned into a sigh of loss.

"Did you come all this way to save Haimo?" Shuiyue asked, sitting on the beach.

"No, it's because I wanted to find you." Qi Yan lay back on the beach and said lazily, "I was rejected by Daqun. I couldn't connect to Daqun's network no matter what I did. I had no choice but to ask you for help."

"You want me to rejoin the main group?"

"That's impossible. By sheer chance, I've discovered a new possibility within the Sea Siblings population."

“New possibilities…I did hear the call from the ocean some time ago.”

"Its name is Ital, and it's a little guy who's determined to lead a large group to find a new way out."

Qi Yan kept piling sand on himself, preparing to give himself a legendary sand therapy: "It has now gone to the origin of the ocean, from where it can gain the qualification to challenge the newborn, but things will definitely not be that simple."

I don't know how the other newcomers will react, but the Deep Sea Church is definitely going to cause trouble. What we need to do is get everything done before everyone else, leaving no room for others to cause trouble!

Shuiyue nodded knowingly and casually helped Qiyan pile up sand.

He said as he worked:

“I’ve been out of the group for a long time, and I may not know Haisi as well as you do, but since it’s your request, I will do my best to cooperate.”

"No, no, no, it was you and I who fully cooperated with Ital." Qi Yan gave up his movements and let Shuiyue pile sand on his body. "I only supported Ital's rise to power in order to protect you. I can't become a newborn myself, but Hai Si must have a newborn."

"I listen to you."

Shuiyue smiled broadly, offering Qiyan all her trust without reservation.

"Really? Then can I borrow your game console to play for a while?" Qi Yan immediately asked.

Upon hearing this, the trust between the two vanished instantly.

Shuiyue stood up warily and backed away, saying nervously:

What are you going to do to my game console?

Qi Yan asked incredulously, "Is that the kind of person you see?"

Shuiyue nodded firmly without hesitation.

Qi Yan angrily retorted, "You're willing to lend your game console to the Doctor and the Transformers, but you won't lend it to me?!"

"At least they won't get so angry and upset about losing a game that they end up chewing on my game console."

"Rumors, this is absolutely a rumor!" Qi Yan struggled to sit up from the sand pile. "At most, I just saw the pretty girls in the game console and stuck out my tongue to lick the screen a couple of times!"

Shuiyue gasped, her resolve to protect her game console growing even stronger.

Just as the two were about to break up over a game console, the sound of the Fool's Ship re-entering the water drew their attention.

Both of them looked up at the ocean.

Under the silent gaze of the two of them, as well as Qi Lin and others on the shore, the Fool's Ship rocked for a moment after entering the water, tilting at a visible angle on the sea surface.

Exusiai scratched her head and said to her companions with relief:

"Fortunately, it was just a bit tilted, at least it didn't sink directly."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sea around the Fool began to bubble.

Amidst the glares of a crowd who wished they could sew Exusiai's mouth shut, the Fool slowly but steadily sank towards the surface.

Chapter 1081 Dramatic Modification of the Fool's Account

More than a dozen gazes surrounded Exusiai, and the crowd was eager to get her to hang up and whip her with cold water.

Exusiai was on the verge of tears and could only cover her mouth pitifully and hide behind Texas.

Texas pursed her lips, feeling an urge to throw Exusiai out and let her fend for herself.

"I know I was wrong."

Exusiai, shrinking back, peeked out from Texas's shoulder and said, "I won't do it again next time."

"You want a next time?" Qi Yan appeared from behind her and reached out to pinch her cheek.

Exusiai winced in pain, closing her eyes in fear, unable to meet Qi Yan's murderous gaze.

Qi Yan squeezed the area a couple of times to satisfy his urge, and successfully stopped before Qi Lin could react.

"Do you know that I promised my sister and Kal'tsit that I would send the Fool back?" Qi Yan said irritably.

"But... but I was just jinxing it. The real reason the Fool sank was because you guys were too rough," Exusiai said resentfully, covering her face.

"Reject internal strife; instead of blaming yourself, blame others."

Qi Yan spoke with righteous indignation.

Angel: “…”

“Alright, the issue now isn’t about assigning blame,” Texas stepped in to smooth things over. “I think what we should be focusing on right now is how to resolve the problem.”

"This ship is too big; it's simply a pipe dream for us to salvage it and repair it to be seaworthy."

Qi Yan said in despair, "Are you just sentencing me to death like this?"

Texas shook her head:

"I'm saying the Fool is beyond saving."

"Is there a difference?"

"No! We can't give up so easily!"

Qi Yan lowered his head, frowned, and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at the shapeshifter.

"Why are you looking at us?" the shapeshifter asked blankly. "Although we can salvage the ship, we can't repair it. There are no raw materials nearby, nor are there any mobile city-states of sufficient size to temporarily serve as warehouses."

"Actually, I have an idea." Qi Yan's eyes gleamed with wisdom.

Everyone: "..."

A sense of foreboding welled up in everyone's hearts.

Unfortunately, Qi Yan was not one to care about others' opinions. He walked into the water, pointed to the Fool's Ship, whose mast was barely visible, and announced:

"We can give the Fool's Ship a major overhaul!"

"What are you going to do?" the shapeshifter asked tentatively.

"Have Shuiyue and Haimo summon a group of Haisi to transform the Fool into a mobile nest!" Qi Yan's eyes gleamed with increasing wisdom. "The kind that can switch freely between underwater and surface! Argor is an underwater city, so it makes perfect sense for the Fool to dive there!"

Of course, I, Qi Xiaobai, am not Kroos, and I can't let the Sea Heirs work for free. Shuiyue, remember to have the Sea Heirs bring some underwater shipwreck treasures when they come over.

"Shapeshifters, I hereby appoint you as the chief architects of the Fool's Ship overhaul project. Use your little brains, combine your long lifespans and accumulated knowledge, and bring my ideas to fruition!"

Texas was completely baffled: "Transformation between surface and underwater? Is it a ship or a submarine?"

Shuiyue was somewhat embarrassed: "The Hai Si are no longer working for free; they're actually paying out of their own pockets to do the work."

The shapeshifter pointed to itself: "Us? Designers?"

"Do you have any questions?" Qi Yan asked, tilting his head.

They felt it was a big problem!

In the end, the group could only turn to Qi Lin for help.

Noticing these gazes, Qi Lin was somewhat puzzled:

"Why are you looking at me? Hasn't he already proposed a solution?"

Everyone: "..."

In the end, Texas rubbed her temples and compromised, saying:

"Then let's split into two groups for now. I'll take some people to deliver the supplies to the Rhodes Island office first. Haimo is also very weak and needs to receive proper medical treatment and examination."

"You can repair the boat here first, and I'll see if the office has any technicians who can come and help."

"Absolutely not, nobody knows more about technology than me!"

Qi Yan spread his hands, adopting the posture of a know-it-all.

Seeing this, Texas realized that she couldn't persuade Qi Yan, so she could only turn around and organize her own team.

Seeing that Qi Yan had already started a serious discussion with the shapeshifters and Shuiyue, Qi Lin, feeling somewhat bored, found a rock to sit on, enjoying the sea breeze and gazing at the churning sea.

Qi Yan suddenly called out from behind.

Qi Lin turned around and saw Qi Yan slowly walking over and sitting down next to her.

"Do I have a mission too?" Qi Lin asked.

"To be precise, it's about asking for your personal wishes." Qi Yan pointed to the seawater. "As I just mentioned, Agor is an underwater city. If we try to sneak in by water, it will be very humid, and we'll get soaked."

“I don’t hate the feeling of dampness as much anymore,” Qi Lin said calmly.

"Not that annoying, but still somewhat annoying?"

Faced with Qi Yan's questioning, Qi Lin hesitated for a moment before nodding to acknowledge the fact.

She realized that Qi Yan might find another excuse to send her abroad again.

"You don't want to leave, do you?"

To Qi Lin's surprise, Qi Yan asked for her opinion first.

Qi Lin stood with her legs together, her fingertips gently rubbing the hem of her skirt that Qi Yan had previously used to grind his teeth.

Seeing Qi Lin deep in thought, Qi Yan didn't urge her, patiently waiting for her to give her answer.

Qi Yan didn't have to wait long before Qi Lin loosened her skirt and asked:

"You'll be very busy next, right? Will I be a burden to you if I stay?"

"No, it's just that evaporating the ocean might take some time," Qi Yan replied earnestly.

Qi Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes.

This thing is acting crazy again.
