Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

Before anyone could react, a maniacal laugh erupted from the other end of the line:

"I am Aatrox, the end of the world! Ha↘ha↘ha↘ha↘ha→ha↗"

In that instant, the spirit of Liberli successfully took over the world.

"Ha! Just kidding! Actually, it's me, Qi Yan from Rhodes Island!"

Qi Yan's smug laughter enveloped Terra.

On the Iberian coastline, Kal'tsit held a terminal and answered Qi Yan's global communication call. Her cat-like face frightened everyone around her so much that they dared not breathe.

She is now seriously considering whether to remove Qi Yan from Rhodes Island in order to preserve Rhodes Island's poor reputation.

Just then, as if he had foreseen this, Qi Yan found his protective talisman:

“Kal'tsit, I know you’re listening too. The Doctor has received his due punishment and is still undergoing it. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be withdrawn for a long time.”

Kal'tsit's lips curled up slightly.

Very well, then let Qi Yan temporarily tarnish Rhodes Island's reputation.

Given Rhodes Island's current notoriety in this land, one more time won't make a difference.

After reporting on Rhodes Island's internal conflicts, Qi Yan finally managed to steer the conversation back on track:

“I believe that my voice has now spread throughout Terra, except for Sherag.”

On the Xielag Snow Mountain, Silver Gray's face darkened as he answered the phone.

"Boss Yin, I know you're listening," Qi Yan quickly added. "I'll keep you in my heart as a brother, and you'll get your share of the benefits soon. Don't rush to take a taxi over to cause me trouble."

SilverAsh waved to stop the butler who was arranging the schedule beside him.

Qi Yan's voice continued:

"I believe that this global call has made many people realize that it is special."

That's right, the reason I turned on all microphones this time wasn't because I used any special ability, but because I was using this golden rain of sea essence. In other words, everyone in Terra, as long as they have a terminal and a device, can use the sea essence to make global calls!

I named this Haisi's Large External Network!

And it's not just for phone calls! All users on the large group's external network can choose between private and public servers to fully meet the needs of every user!

The sound of synchronized inhalation echoed throughout Terra.

Qi Yan, surrounded by Hai Si, floated on the dilapidated barrier layer and suddenly shivered.

"Stop inhaling, stop inhaling, or Terra will enter an ice age."

Qi Yan chuckled and teased, "Don't get too excited yet. I, Qi Xiaobai, am not a philanthropist. I've worked so hard to create this large external network, so I certainly can't let you use it for free."

People held their breath, waiting for Qi Yan to announce the price for using the network.

Whether it's national-level organizations, scattered individual businesses, or even a considerable number of ordinary individuals, everyone recognizes the importance of this large external network.

For the nation, large-scale external networks will enable a revolutionary leap forward in the governance of various regions within its borders.

For organizations, large-scale external networks will be more helpful in managing their members and enabling them to summon and command employees in other city branches 24 hours a day.

Of course, the most important point is that Qi Yan personally vouched for this!

Every organization and individual can only compete with each other within the rules. If anyone dares to make underhanded moves against the large external network itself, then they are simply asking for trouble.

Everyone who realized the value of large external networks began to feel excited.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Qi Yan suddenly stammered.

A dense array of question marks flooded this land.

Qi Yan, frantically scratching his head in the sky, asked, "How should we price this thing?"

If it's cheap, then Qi Xiaobai will really become a philanthropist, won't he?

It's too expensive. What if some small organizations and individuals can't afford it? How much money would Qi Xiaobai lose?

"Sir, do you need any help?" Tu Yuzhe lay on Qi Yan's lap, looking up earnestly. "Our compatriots are quite sensitive to the calculation of nutrients and energy."

Qi Yan said disdainfully, "You're asking for suggestions, not for nothing, but for food."

What I want is money! LMD, Crimson Gold, Originium, you know what I mean?

The butcher obediently shook his head.

With a sigh, Qi Yan pressed down the butcher's fish head, but a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

"I actually have a helper!"

The people of Terra, who had been eagerly awaiting news, finally heard the unanimous voice once again:

"For details regarding network access pricing, data plans, and maintenance costs for the operating servers, please contact Kroos, Rhodes Island Engineering Department. Again, please contact Kroos, Rhodes Island Engineering Department. Again, please contact Kroos, Rhodes Island Engineering Department!"

Kazdel, a group of Sarkaz gathered in the square, where Kroos broadcast Qi Yan's call over the loudspeaker.

Just as the group of illiterate people were listening with great interest and confusion, they suddenly heard a series of chaotic noises coming from the broadcasting room.

Immediately afterwards, the assistant in the broadcasting room who was assisting with Kroos's broadcast burst open the door and shouted urgently towards the square:

"Quickly, go and fetch Dr. Warfarin! Kroos has laughed herself silly!"

Chapter 1132 Open the door! Qi Xiaobai is here with some goodies!

While Kazdel was thrown into chaos by Kroos's excitement and fainting spell, Qi Yan continued to passionately promote his large external network.

"With the large group external network, you will enjoy truly low latency and low packet loss global communication!"

"My large group external network is a powerful combination of Agor Communications Technology and Haisi Biotechnology, ensuring stability and security. Haisi users perform high-intensity self-checks 24/7, and the large group internal network serves as the terminal server, eliminating any possibility of data loss!"

"Whether it's a city or a wilderness, a mountain or a deep sea, wherever you can go, the Hai Si can go too. A massive external network, covering the entire globe without blind spots!"

"Whether you're preparing for military competition, want to enter the network information industry, or even want to go to the sky and see the outside world, the vast external network will be your essential choice!"

"What are you waiting for? Yes! I'm talking to you, Christensen! Come and do your business now, and I'll give you a 1% discount!"

At Rhine Life headquarters, Christensen, who was listening attentively, was suddenly called upon and was momentarily stunned.

Upon hearing about the 'generous' discount that Qi Yan had personally given her, she couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"Qi Yan, you are still so unpredictable. Even now, I still don't know which of your words are serious and which are jokes."

Christen muttered to herself, her hands moving practicedly as she picked up her work terminal and assigned the task of contacting Kroos.

Regardless of whether Qi Yan was joking or not, even if Rhine Labs ultimately has to pay several times the amount, Rhine Labs absolutely cannot lag behind in such a major event that could change the landscape of Terra.

"Kristen, Commander, I'm serious!"

Qi Yan's voice inexplicably picked up where Christen was talking to herself: "You better stay put at your own headquarters and don't wander off. I'm coming to Columbia to find you myself right now, you hear me?"

Christen: "..."

It would have been better if Qi Yan hadn't said anything.

When he announced his arrival, Christensen felt an urge to run away as quickly as possible.

The moment the thought popped into her head, an internal communication from Rhine Labs was sent to her work terminal.

"Commander, Lady Seria has returned and requests to see you."

Upon hearing this report, Christensen couldn't help but sigh and exclaim in admiration:

"Qi Yan, your plan is truly flawless; you even figured out my intention to avoid you."

Unaware that she had been praised again, Qi Yan was still enjoying the moment of being called on.

"Boss Yin, I told you that brotherhood is in the heart, and now you're getting your reward!"

Silver Gray's lips curled slightly, letting out a soft laugh typical of a domineering CEO.

The butler immediately remarked with emotion:

"It's been a long time since the patriarch smiled like that."

silver gray:"……"

The butler smiled elegantly and silently shut his mouth under the oppressive gaze of the silver-gray man.

"Boss Yin, if you go to play chess with the professor every night for the next month, I'll give you a 90% discount!"

Qi Yan's cheerful voice echoed throughout Terra.

The butler beside him gradually developed a strange expression, scrutinizing his master with an unfamiliar look.

"Hey! Qi Yan, explain yourself clearly!"

For a moment, SilverAsh forgot that the call was one-way, and he grabbed the terminal and roared angrily.

Unfortunately, the conversation in the terminal had already shifted to the Yan Kingdom.

The butler felt his terminal in his pocket suddenly vibrate incessantly, and carefully stepped aside to take it out to check the received text messages.

A moment later, he reported the summarized information:

"Master, your bodyguard, Ms. Jian, sent a congratulatory text message wishing you a happy marriage. She also mentioned that the other two major families have new developments and seem to be preparing congratulatory gifts. And... Miss Enya has also taken the initiative to send a message back."

Silver Gray asked with a dark expression, "What did Enya say?"

"...The young lady didn't say anything, she just sent a question mark."

"Qi Yan, you did this on purpose!"

While SilverAsh was gritting his teeth in anger, Qi Yan had already cheerfully called out the next person's name:

"Is Wei Lao Er still alive?"

I'm here to give you a treat too!

Wei Yanwu, who was sitting happily drinking tea and listening to amusement in the Longmen Governor's Mansion, suddenly shuddered and spilled the tea from his cup all over his pants.

The shadow guards rushed into the room immediately after calling out Wei Yanwu's name in unison.

Without a second thought, Wei Yanwu covered his pants and sternly ordered the shadow guards to retreat.

The shadow guards stopped in unison, lowered their heads, and scurried away like a group of large black rats, before gathering outside.

"Did you see it?"

"Shh, watch your mouth! The news that Lord Wei was so frightened by Qi Yan that he wet his pants is not to be spread to anyone!"

"What are you saying? Do you think we're the kind of people who gossip?"

"Exactly, and given our status, where would we find a way to gossip without leaving a trace?"

Wei Yanwu sat alone in the room, his face changing constantly, as if it had been dyed.

"Qi Yan, please don't cause trouble. I'm begging you. I'll pretend to quit smoking for the next six months in exchange for you letting me go this time!"

The dignified Governor of Longmen couldn't help but mutter to himself, feeling lost and helpless.

"Ahem, Lao Wei, you'd better accept this incredible benefit I'm about to bestow."

While Wei Yanwu was feeling uneasy, Qi Yan slowly said, "I will give Longmen a public server slot for free. You only need to be responsible for maintenance. I will not charge you any handling fees."

I made Lungmen the first pilot city for a public network open to all of Terra. How about that? Pretty loyal of me, right?

His first reaction was disbelief.

How could Qi Yan be so kind as to offer such a wonderful gift?

"I'll give you three seconds to think it over. Three, two, one. If you don't refuse, then I'll take that as your acceptance."

Qi Yan's tone suddenly shifted to a cheeky one: "Since I'm giving you the server for free, you probably can't refuse if I use it to freeload some traffic, right? Everyone, I, Qi Xiaobai, am here to announce something."

I will be publicly sharing Dr. Rhodes Island's private terminal browsing history on the Lungmen server. Anyone interested is welcome to join me in exploring the inner world of this twisted doctor!

"*Longmen swear*"

Wei Yanwu immediately understood Qi Yan's intention.

He intentionally forced the doctor to rack his brains trying to break through the server that Lungmen had acquired for free.

With the doctor's abilities, the large external network would most likely be unable to withstand the attack, and this move would also allow Qi Yan to take the opportunity to find the vulnerabilities of the large external network and make timely improvements.

This move by Qi Yan is a top-notch cunning strategy, forcibly making the PhD work for him for free.

In the end, Qi Yan gained a more secure external network, other users who purchased servers gained a more reassuring user experience, and the onlookers got the first bit of fun in the information age.

Look, a world has been created where only the Doctor and Wei Yanwu are injured!
