Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

But what did our military do wrong?

This is what we do for a living!

"Mr. Qi Yan, could you please clarify what role you played in this incident?"

Blake also decided to speak frankly.

"Me? I'll just play myself," Qi Yan said, amused.

Blake pressed further: "So, did you approve of the 'Horizon Arc Light Project'? Will our 'Arc Light One' weapon be confiscated by you like it was at Experiment Base 359?"

Qi Yan said generously, "At most, this thing can only match the power of the Shard. There's no need to block it."

Blake: "..."

There were so many things to complain about that he didn't know where to begin.

Nasti, however, was now completely intrigued by Qi Yan's proposal for cooperation.

Her light green eyes looked intently at Qi Yan as she asked:

What are your thoughts on the sky?

"You want to hear me say that the sky is the promised land of the Sarkaz?" Qi Yan asked with a smile.

Nastya's pupils contracted briefly, but quickly returned to normal.

"The sky will be conquered sooner or later, because this land will never lack people who look up at the sky."

“The pattern is small.”

Qi Yan stood up, standing directly on the chair, pointed to the sky, and shouted, "Our journey is to the stars and the sea!"

Nasti was startled by Qi Yan's sudden outburst.

She stood up and moved closer to Blake, her eye twitching as she said:

“I think I understand your position, and I am willing to accept your invitation to cooperate.”

"It's a pleasure working with you." Qi Yan winked at Nastie while standing on the chair.

"...I hope it will be enjoyable." Nastya's confidence was clearly lacking.

Blake watched with a tense expression as the two made some kind of agreement in front of him.

You two may not treat me like a human being, but you two are truly inhuman!

"Mr. Qi Yan, what exactly do you want to do?" Blake asked again.

"Still don't understand?" Qi Yan looked at him like he was an idiot. "I, Qi Xiaobai, am going to the heavens!"

"Isn't this just a matter of beckoning to you? Haisi is now under your control."

"We can't expect the space program to rely on Haisi carrying people in space in the future, can we?"

"You mean... Christen... Christen wants to use 'Arc Light One' to create a spacecraft?"

Blake finally caught up with Qi Yan's train of thought: "Is she imitating her parents?"

"No, she's surpassing her parents!"

Qi Yan stood on the chair and opened his arms: "Blake, when you look up at the sky, have you ever wondered what's up there?"

Have you ever wondered what the sun looks like? What the moon looks like? What do the stars in the sky look like?

This land is so vast, yet it is forever beneath the sky. Blake, have you ever wondered what the sky is like?

Blake frowned: "Even if we knew, what would be the point?"

Qi Yan shook his head: "There's no point in the sky."

"Then why..."

"But above the sky lies the future!"

Blake was momentarily dazed, but he still couldn't understand Qi Yan's excitement, nor could he understand why Nastia beside him was also clenching her fists with excitement in her eyes.

His thoughts were somewhat confused.

Just as he was about to ask for more details, he saw Qi Yan, who was already in a frenzy, lift one leg and put it on the back of the chair.

Before he could warn him about the danger, Qi Yan lost his balance, screamed, and fell off the chair.

"The Vice President of Columbia is about to visit Rhine Life... An object has fallen from the sky over Trimont, suspected to be some kind of weapon... Many netizens have reported that their terminals are suddenly lagging..."

The doctor sat on the hotel sofa, flipping through the latest news.

A familiar notification tone sounded from the doctor's terminal.

"I didn't download any new resources either... Oh, it's emails."

The professor casually opened the email from the unfamiliar account and found a video inside.

After watching the somewhat brutal video at double speed, the doctor glanced at the text in the email.

"Loken Williams, Loken Water Tank."

After figuring out the purpose of the video, the doctor guessed that it must have been Qi Yan's doing again.

With a flick of his finger, a large number of terminals on this land experienced a momentary lag.

"Ha, this dog ran to a military base. That place isn't connected to a large external network; it has its own independent network."

After thinking for a moment, the doctor decided not to hide his methods and manipulated the 'zombie' he had kidnapped to help him find a contact number.

Without making the doctor wait, the call was quickly connected after the dial button was pressed, and Blake's somewhat puzzled voice came through:

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Rhodes Island, Doctor, give the terminal to Qi Yan."

"...He had just fallen off a chair and was resting on a lady's lap, not allowing anyone to disturb him."

"Don't worry about it, just give him the terminal. If anything goes wrong, you'll have to take responsibility."

In the end, Blake handed the terminal over to Qi Yan.

"What's up?" Qi Yan asked lazily.

"Is Loken the culprit behind Rosemary's frequent memory loss?" the doctor asked bluntly.

"Right? If that's right, then you only crippled one of his legs?"

"The remaining two will be added later."

"I'm not satisfied with this punishment."

"Don't worry, that old man is obsessed. Even if he's in a wheelchair, he'll still find time to see Rosemary, and then he'll fall into your hands."

Qi Yan said casually, "Don't worry about any external factors. Just do what you want. Christensen's plan doesn't need him anymore."

For the sake of Sarkaz's future Sky City, Nastia, who had been enduring the situation while offering Qi Yan a lap pillow, raised an eyebrow.

She frowned and said, "Loken is also in Christensen's plan. He is in charge of the development of the life support pod. If you kill Loken, it is equivalent to cutting off Christensen's only chance of survival."

"Madam, don't be nervous," the doctor explained through the terminal. "With such a big event as Christen going to space, Dog will definitely be there. With him around, Christen will be in no danger."

Qi Yan couldn't help but chuckle:

"How did you, you idiot, guess all this?"

"There is no better son than a father."

"Congratulations, Doctor, your answer has successfully triggered the double duration bonus."

"Holy crap, I was wrong!"

The doctor immediately backed down: "I have wandered for half my life, and I only regret that I have not met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!"

"And then you'll find an opportunity to betray me for the sake of a pretty girl, right?"

"That's impossible!" the doctor said seriously. "If I'm going to stab someone, I'll stab you head-on. Otherwise, if you die without knowing why, I won't feel any sense of accomplishment."

"Congratulations, we've arranged a 10x time-lapse package for you."

"I was wrong, I was wrong." The doctor's expression changed again. "Let's talk this out. Just lift my curse and tell me what you want me to do."

"I do need your help with something."

Chapter 1168 Qi Xiaobai: When I'm being stupid, I even fool myself!

"If you help me, can you break my curse?"

The doctor's voice, coming from the terminal, was extremely serious.

Qi Yan generously replied, "If the result satisfies me, then yes."

"Then tell me."

"I've captured a super fat feathered serpent, and I'm going to have her help me catch Pokémon. To prevent the Pokémon from escaping, could you lend a hand when you have some free time?"

"A little elf? Muels?"

"Did you just fall off a chair and damage your brain?"

Seeing that the PhD dared to speak ill of him, Qi Yan was so angry that he sat up and was about to start yelling back.

The doctor's next words left him speechless:

"Have you been hanging out with shapeshifters for too long and developed some misunderstanding about this kind of clone ability?"

According to the information provided by Saria, Muels' water clone ability is amazing, but it is only limited to the realm of ordinary people. Do you really think she can clone herself and run around like a shapeshifter?

You personally ordered Muirses to be sent to Sami, and now you're plotting to capture her in Colombia?

Seriously, don't ever say I know you in public again. I can't bear the shame!

Qi Yan: "..."

He put down the terminal and turned to look at Nastie, who quickly looked away.

Qi Yan then looked at Blake, who was standing guard to the side, and the latter looked puzzled.

"You heard that, didn't you?" Qi said calmly.

Blake: ?!

"Sorry, I was just spacing out. What did you say?"

In the instant he realized what was happening, Blake unleashed the best acting he had ever done, dramatically glancing left and right.

"Alright, stop acting crazy." The doctor's voice came from the terminal. "How long are you planning to stay out there? Find some time to lift my curse, and I'll treat you to drinks and apologize later, okay?"

Qi Yan sneered:

"You'll have to get past Kal'tsit first. With your crazy outburst in Sami, Kal'tsit probably already has a plan on how to put you in the sarcophagus."

"Don't panic, I've called Amiya over, she'll protect me."

"Amiya is busy in Kazdel, why are you bothering her?"

"It's because I know Kazdel is too busy, so I'm making up an excuse to give Amiya a break."

The Doctor's tone suddenly turned cheerful: "I chatted with Kroos when I was disciplining her earlier, do you know how chaotic Kazdel is right now?"

Qi Yan's interest was piqued.

Nasti couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart and pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

Blake simply squatted down and started watching the show.

The doctor's voice came from the terminal:

“Manfred’s hair loss has gotten worse recently. He bought a lot of anti-hair loss shampoo from Kroos, but somehow the news leaked out and spread, and it became known that Manfred was already bald and was now wearing a wig every day.”

Because of this incident, more than a dozen shapeshifters were displayed by Theresa next to the Soul Furnace.

And then there's Ducarre, who heard that Hedley was compiling a history textbook that would include photos of these Sarkaz legends, so he secretly went to Kroos to buy new clothes and cosmetics.

Somehow the news leaked out, and the story evolved into the claim that Ducarre decided to seduce his teacher, Warfarin, in order to pass his medical licensing exam.

Because of this incident, more than a dozen shapeshifters were hung up by Theresa next to the Soul Furnace for public display.

During this period, Theresa was like a laundry maid, her daily routine consisting of going to the Soul Forge to take down the dried shapeshifters and then hanging up a batch of fresh shapeshifters.

The three people who were listening to the gossip remained silent.
