Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

She turned her head to examine Qi Yan carefully, and then slowly fell into a state of hesitation.

This thing... is going crazy, right?

After a brief hesitation, Qi Lin decided not to gamble the lives of all the people of Terra on whether Qi Yan was serious.

She had no doubt that Qi Yan truly had the ability to evaporate the ocean.

"Just tell me what your plans are," Qi Lin said resignedly.

“Texas is going to run into trouble soon. Go help her. If you see any good people in trouble, lend a hand,” Qi Yan said with a sigh. “Good people tend to have bad luck in this land. Help them if you can.”

This time, Qi Lin asked seriously, "How do we define a 'good person'?"

"A person you don't dislike is a good person."

"……Um."

Qi Lin stood up, brushed the sand off her skirt, swatted away Qi Yan's outstretched hand that was trying to help, and turned to walk towards Texas.

Qi Yan sat still and patted the air beside him:

"Big White, you should come along too. There's a beast lord in Syracuse, and you need to keep an eye on things."

A gentle breeze stirred up some sand, silently following Qi Lin's footsteps.

After seeing his younger sister off, Qi Yan happily ran back to his construction team of three.

The shapeshifter asked curiously, "Why do you have to send Qi Lin away? With the abilities of the person next to you, creating a dry space in the water shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"You don't know anything! You're just trying to fool Kal'tsit."

Qi Yan revealed a wicked smile of triumph: "Kal'tsit still hasn't realized that Qi Lin can't control me. Now that the Fool's Ship is ruined, she'll be in for a good scolding when she gets back."

By getting Qi Lin away and making Kal'tsit mistakenly believe that I was doing this behind Qi Lin's back, she will continue to have hope for Qi Lin, which will benefit me in continuing to run away and have fun in the future!

This move, this move is called sacrificing the pawn to save the king!

Chapter 1082 Qi Lin: I want them all!

Shuiyue and the shapeshifter exchanged a glance.

They all felt that things might not be that simple.

"Qi Yan, tell us the truth, are you planning something earth-shattering!"

The shapeshifter was more serious than ever before, grabbing Qi Yan's arm and questioning, "You definitely didn't send Qi Lin away for such a frivolous reason, and you even sent your partner away... Do you really want to dry up the oceans of Terra?"

"Don't we even have this basic trust between us?" Qi Yan asked incredulously.

Shuiyue chimed in from the side:

"It's precisely because we trust your ability to cause trouble that we have our doubts!"

“That’s right, so if you really want to dry up the ocean, please be sure to tell us.” The shapeshifter nodded repeatedly. “We’ll immediately transfer the individuals as well, leaving only one or two to watch the fun, and then we can lure the natural healer over. This kind of spectacle is worth dying for!”

"Don't go crazy!"

Qi Yan slapped it, successfully causing the shapeshifter to enter silent mode.

Shuiyue immediately took over the shapeshifter's position and pressed on with the question:

"I don't think you would do something as pointless as drying up the ocean, but your plan must have a huge impact, which is why you sent Qi Lin away, right?"

Faced with their relentless questioning, Qi Yan gave a wry smile and could only explain:

"It's really nothing serious, just a critique of Haisi and Agor based on their characteristics."

“Qi Yan, I’m not trying to stop you,” Shui Yue said in a heavy tone. “I just don’t want you to carry everything on your shoulders again, like before.”

We are companions, aren't we?

I don't want to be the only one protected behind you; I want to stand beside you and face everything together.

Even the shapeshifter in silent mode smiled and quietly watched Qi Yan.

"you……"

Qi Yan was touched by their concern.

He looked up and sighed, making a decision: "Since that's the case, then I'll share my whole plan with you."

Tulip held a cup of hot water and watched Thorn operate the fax machine to print out the briefing document from Rhode Island, finding it a delightful sight.

Dark-skinned handsome guys are just amazing!

She happily took a big gulp of water, only to be scalded and shudder.

Thorn glanced back at the beautiful woman who seemed to have no sense of propriety except when it came to work, and expressionlessly waved the file in his hand:

"Good news, Kroos has gone to Kazdel. This document was sent by Shining."

"Finally, I don't have to search for information in Kroos's self-aggrandizing quotes and unscrupulous merchants' advertisements anymore." Tulip put down her water glass and instantly entered her elegant, powerful businesswoman working mode.

Tulip took the document, quickly flipped through it, and exclaimed:

"Terra is truly entering an era of unprecedented change, and it's hard to say whether it will ultimately be good or bad."

Thorn crossed his arms, leaned coolly against the edge of the desk, and calmly analyzed:

"Qi Yan directly brought up the crisis between the North and the South. Countries barely managed to establish relations with Qi Yan through the World Summit. Now, as long as the distribution of interests among countries is properly adjusted, the era of great unity in Terra is not just empty talk."

“The crisis and the leader are already here, but if only things were that simple.” Tulip shook her head. “Leytania seems to have made up its mind, sending a team to the north and also dispatching an envoy to Kazimierz.”

Thorn nodded: "The Ice Plains are both a crisis and an opportunity. If the Wuyan and Qilin nations truly gain something from it, their national strength will experience unprecedented development."

Letania and Casimir cannot stand idly by and watch Ursus continue to rise; the two countries will inevitably unite to contend with Ursus, which, in my opinion, is the wisest choice.

Tulip said in a deep voice, "The distribution of benefits and mutual checks and balances may seem wonderful, but if we are not careful, it will lead to a chaotic war."

“I believe Qi Yan and the doctor can handle this,” Thorn said confidently.

"What did they tell you?" Tulip asked.

Seeing this, Tulip felt somewhat helpless.

She didn't doubt the abilities of these two; one was unmatched in combat prowess, and the other in intelligence. With their combined strength, stabilizing the situation would be a piece of cake.

The problem is that temporary stability means nothing to Terra.

After the crises in the North and South are resolved, the distribution of benefits will lead to a new round of crises, and these crises will erupt from within.

This is inevitable.

Qi Yan is very strong, but just how strong does he need to be to completely dispel all countries' thoughts of causing trouble?

Even if Qi Yan could sweep away giant beasts and dominate the entire land, he was still just one person.

No one dares to touch the places where he is stationed, but what about the places where he is not?

Perhaps a PhD's talent could fill this gap, but that would bring about a second problem.

Tulip glanced at the document in her hand.

Long-distance communication is too troublesome in this land. Frequent natural disasters have rendered long-distance communication methods useless. Rhodes Island needs to constantly relay documents from various offices to send them out.

Even if a PhD can handle issues from various countries, communication efficiency cannot keep up with his plans.

The doctor just received the news, while the conflict over there may have already broken out or even reached a conclusion.

Tulip's heart full of sorrow was reduced to a single sigh.

“I won’t deny the difficulties involved, but I still have faith in Qi Yan and the Doctor,” Thorn said earnestly.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it too."

The tulips smiled again.

Just then, the two heard the roar of an engine coming from outside the office building.

The two exchanged a glance and went out together to check the situation.

A convoy of cars pulled up in the open space in front of the office building. Texas and the others opened the car doors and greeted Thorn and his companion.

Thorn noticed Qi Lin in the group and said with some surprise:

Why did Qi Lin act alone?

Exusiai stands with her hands on her hips, clearly dissatisfied with this issue.

"What do you mean? Aren't we human beings?"

Thorns: "...That's not what I meant."

"I know that's not what you meant," Exusiai said with a grin. "You're just worried that Qi Yan sent Qi Lin away to secretly cause trouble. You can rest assured, he can't possibly cause... umm!"

Before Exusia could finish speaking, Texas covered her mouth.

Under the threatening gazes of everyone, Exusiai finally behaved herself.

After successfully defusing a crisis, Texas offered the following explanation:

"Qi Yan's next operation will involve going into the water. Qi Lin doesn't like the feeling of being wet, so she will be working with me for the time being."

As she spoke, she glanced at Qi Lin subconsciously.

On the way, Qi Lin relayed Qi Yan's words to her, making her realize that after running away for so long, she still had to return to Syracuse to confront the past.

Just as Texas was lost in her memories, Qi Lin suddenly walked towards her.

Under Texas's surprised gaze, Qi Lin asked earnestly:

"After your escort mission is over, could you stay and not leave immediately?"

"Why?" Texas asked, puzzled. "Since Qi Yan has already brought it up, it proves that I can't avoid it."

Qi Lin looked back at the direction from which they had come.

Amid the puzzled gazes of Texas, Thorn, and the others, Qi Lin seemed to have made up her mind.

She looked away and said to Texas:

"I don't really understand what he's trying to do, but I can tell he's making some important decision."

At this crucial moment, I don't want him to bear everything alone. I want to stay here, even if I can't help much, just being by his side is enough.

"In that case, there's no need for me to stay too, is there?" Texas said with a wry smile. "You just stay with Qi Yan. I can handle my own affairs."

Exusiai cautiously leaned closer and echoed:

"No problem, we have partners in Texas with Penguin Logistics!"

Qi Lin shook her head: "He asked me to go and save people, to save good people, which means that there will definitely be sacrifices in what you are going through."

I don't know when Miss Texas's past will come to light, so I want to keep Miss Texas here so that I can keep track of the progress of the events he talks about.

Protect Miss Texas, protect the good people he speaks of, and face the future with him—I want it all!

Chapter 1083 When Qi Xiaobai Becomes the Client

Texas and everyone else present looked at Qi Lin in surprise.

No one expected that Qi Lin, who was always obedient, would make such a choice.

"So...so handsome!"

"As expected of our Miss Qi Lin!"

"Qi Yan? What Qi Yan? I don't know him at all. I only listen to Miss Qi Lin!"

The Rhodes Island operators erupted in cheers.

Qi Lin twitched her wolf ears, ignoring the maddening Rhodes Island operators, and simply waited earnestly for Texas's reply.

Texas met Qi Lin's gaze and flicked her gray-black wolf tail that was hanging behind her.

"Okay, then I'll be grateful for your help from now on."

The two Rupert girls successfully reached an agreement.

Qi Lin's wolf ears twitched again. Avoiding eye contact with the crowd, she silently walked to the edge of the crowd and stared blankly at the ground.

The Rhodes Island operators all gasped.

This is... Qi Lin is actually shy!
