Arknights, are you a good person?

Weird, very weird.

The fire of gossip burned fiercely among the members of Penguin Logistics.

However, before the fire could start, Qi Yuan's phone rang. Qi Yuan looked down at the contact, picked up the phone and held it to his ear:

"Hello, Rat."

"What nickname did you give me?" Lin Yuxia's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"When you see Shi Huaiya, will you shout 'Tiger Tiger Tiger Tiger'?"

"When I'm working, I usually address you by your title, Officer Shi." Qi Yuan said seriously.

"Her last name is not Shi... Never mind. The cat's frustrated expression is quite funny. Let's not talk about it for now."

Lin Yuxia said helplessly: "My father tricked me into sitting in the office all day that day, and I didn't go to see the peak showdown between you and Huai Tianpei. It was a pity, but I didn't expect there would be even bigger troubles. Qi Yuan, I really need your help... The reward is ready."

"The reward doesn't matter, I just want to help."

Qi Yuan said excitedly that now that he was being immoral again, it was his duty to do good deeds.

"Do the elderly people in your family know that you are in trouble?" Qi Yuan asked in advance just in case.

Lin Yuxia replied helplessly: "This time it was my dad who gave me a difficult problem. All the uncles and aunts at home know about it, even my driver knows about it... It's inconvenient to explain in detail, let me pick you up."

"By the way, Jiu is here with me too. This problem is related to the infected."

184: Shushu chooses to summon Qi Yuan

Lin Yuxia's office seems to be always on the road.

She is totally different from her father, who can sit on the top floor of a teahouse and eat hotpot while taking charge of the situation.

After Qi Yuan hung up the phone, he and his colleagues stood there and waited for a while. Then, a black extended luxury car drove smoothly from the intersection. The wheels did not rotate with the tires, and the whole car seemed to be moving horizontally on the ground.

"Come up."

The driver opened the car door. Lin Yuxia sat in the spacious back seat. Without turning her head, she glanced at Qi Yuan out of the corner of her eye and gently patted the empty seat next to her.

"Tell the emperor that I'm going out to earn extra money." Qi Yuan instructed his colleagues and turned to get into the rich woman's car.

The car doors closed, the luxury car turned a circle and drove away smoothly. Only then did everyone notice that the black luxury car was moving so fast that even they could hardly catch up with it with their eyes.

"Ugh."

Croissant sighed and said with great sorrow: "Qi Yuan was captured by a rich woman again!"

"It's not the first time."

Angel of Power shook his head helplessly: "Hurry up and get in the car and go back. Qi Yuan will be back in half a day at most. When that time comes, I will strongly suggest that he buy a small pistol and learn the gun fighting skills of Lateran."

That's because the supply of Originium ammunition is wide open!

The eyes of the Angel of Power shone.

She felt that everyone in Penguin Logistics should be equipped with a gun, including the Great Emperor's Glock-shaped simulated lighter, which Archangel Exiah wanted to replace with a real one.

In her hometown of Rutland, it was not uncommon to light cigarettes with bullets.

"Isn't it necessary?"

Texas got on the jeep and looked at the Archangel helplessly: "Qi Yuan is not lacking in long-range skills. He can even shoot lasers with his hands."

"Texas, you don't understand this, do you?"

Angel of Power held onto the roof of the car and climbed in through the window: "It's not about whether he needs it or not, but whether I want to teach him... I really want to see Qi Yuan learn the art of gunfighting."

Of course, Archangel also has his own selfish desires.

In the fantasy world of the painting, she had been Qi Yuan's junior for a long time. Although it felt great, she always felt something was wrong afterwards. Thinking about it carefully, it must be because she was too dependent on Qi Yuan.

Obviously, regardless of age or the order in which they joined Penguin Logistics, Neng Tianshi is the senior, much more senior than Qi Yuan.

I have to find a way to strengthen my image as a senior!

Exia clenched his fists and protected his face, as if he was boxing with an invisible opponent. His serious and childish attitude surprised Texas.

"Forget it, just be happy."

Texas started the Jeep and said helplessly, "I don't care, just don't let me see that guy."

"Miss Laplander, you say?"

"Don't mention that name!"

The jeep took off, and a strong push on the back was felt, which immediately pushed all of Exia's questions back into the seat.

Texas evaded the question coldly: "Qi Yuan said that it is best not to talk to the driver while driving, let alone ask the driver questions."

Be obedient to the law!

-------------------------------------

In a black luxury car.

Lin Yuxia and Qi Yuan sat face to face. Jiu, the former head of the Special Inspection Team of the Guard Bureau, was sitting quietly on the side, looking at the two women, one with mouse ears on her head and the other with a snake tail behind her butt. Suddenly, a word popped up in Qi Yuan's mind.

A nest of snakes and rats.

After getting in the car, Lin Yuxia stared at Qi Yuan's fist without blinking.

"It's hard to imagine that such a powerful Huai Tianpei would be defeated by you personally. It was a head-on fight without any tricks..." She said with great regret, regretting not going to the scene to watch it in person.

This damn ambition!

"Let's talk about it."

Qi Yuan changed the subject: "Are you having a quarrel with Lao Deng at home again?"

"This time it's not a quarrel."

Lin Yuxia was not in a good mood: "After you introduced Miss Jiu to me, I went to Lao Deng and told him that I wanted to try to solve the problem of infected people in the slums. He readily agreed and didn't even say anything to provoke me. He directly gave me all his support."

"Isn't this bad?"

Qi Yuan asked in confusion.

"Of course it's good, but at that time I had a feeling that the reason why my father didn't oppose me at all was that he knew I would run into a high wall head-on, and it would be the kind that would bleed."

Lin Yuxia took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly in her purple dress.

She began to tell her story.

Judging from the fact that Lin Yuxia could talk about her failure experience without any emotion, she was completely numb.

Qi Yuan did not make any jokes but listened attentively.

According to her conception, the general path of infected people is discrimination, social isolation, loss of money to buy medicine, and worsening of their condition. It only needs to be stopped at some step along the way.

Her choice highlights Lin Yuxia's profession - President of the Longmen Youth Entrepreneurs Association.

As long as there is still a job that leaves enough money to buy medicine, the infected people will not continue to slide down. The infected people who have lost their social identity can gather together to form a mutual aid community and survive.

Of course, Lin Yuxia would not be stupid enough to ask the unit to recruit the infected in proportion.

But there are so many wastelands and abandoned factories in Luotizhou. Lin Yuxia used many connections and promised that companies could get land at preferential prices if they built new production lines there.

"Luoti Province is far away from the city, very remote, and the people there don't care about what's going on there."

Lin Yuxia frowned and said, "I thought that the infected could sell their labor in a quiet place and earn enough to buy medicine, and the manufacturers could get land at a discount and have new production lines, but I have worked hard for a long time and there is no effect at all."

"..."

“Then, my dad contacted me recently and said he wanted to see my grades.”

This was obviously intended to be torture.

Qi Yuan nodded: "I roughly understand. Your problem is that there is no manufacturer's production line... Have you ever considered doing some work that is not so dependent on the production line?"

"There is no such possibility."

Lin Yuxia refuted seriously: "Even if it is a scarf or a pair of socks, to make them all uniform, you need a production line. All I can do is negotiate and attract investment."

Lin Yuxia used to be proud of her negotiation ability, but now it has been shattered by reality.

"I'm talking about something more fundamental."

Qi Yuan showed an expression that said "You're a Yan person."

"It's all wasteland anyway. Why not build a collective farm, grow some organic vegetables and fruits, and sell them to the citizens of Longmen?"

The prices of fruits and vegetables in Longmen are quite expensive, after all, it is a commercial city-state.

"what?"

Lin Yuxia was born and raised in the city, and studied business in college. She did not think of this for a moment and fell into deep thought: "What if I don't eat it?"

"Put up my sign, called Qiyuan Farm, and I will force Wei Yanwu to take the lead in eating." Qi Yuan said straightforwardly.

"Taking advantage of the leadership of those in power... That is indeed a way. Raise the price sharply and create scarcity artificially, just like the tulip wave."

Lin Yuxia analyzed it carefully, but soon turned off the fire.

"Loti Province is all industrial land. The soil is full of foundation rubble. There is a reason why it is abandoned."

She said somewhat dejectedly: "It would cost a huge amount of money to dig out all the construction waste from the soil... unless you can talk to the stones in the soil and make them move away by themselves."

"But...how is this possible?"

"really."

Qi Yuan nodded in empathy and also felt a hint of the gravity of reality.

"I've read relevant books. Only the Sons of Earth and Stone of the Sarkaz clan can do this, but this bloodline is suspected to have become extinct."

"Son of earth and stone?"

Qi Yuan looked up suddenly and an operator popped into his mind.

185: Public morality, lots of public morality!

Son of earth and stone.

One of the ancient and mysterious Sarkaz. Just like the extinct Balrog can control fire, the Sons of Earth and Stone can communicate with the land. The mud and stones under their feet obey their commands and form giant stone men that are invincible on the battlefield.

"My Originium skill is sand control. I must have some understanding of this superior ability."

Lin Yuxia said with some fascination: "According to the records, the Son of Earth and Stone can talk to the soil, and the soil and stones will form stone statues under the words of the Son of Earth and Stone. Through more complex source stone techniques, the stone statues can even break away from gravity and fly in the air."

Faced with that kind of existence, Lin Yuxia simply couldn't control the flying sand as freely as usual.

"..."

Qi Yuan scratched his head.

He knew about flying stone statues, but that didn't seem to be the creation of the Son of Earth and Stone. Perhaps it was the Son of Earth and Stone that Qi Yuan had heard of, and his skills in source stone were still not well-developed.

She is still very weak.

"Why do you ask so clearly?"

Lin Yuxia stared at Qi Yuan seriously and said, "Could it be that... you happen to know a Son of Earth and Stone who is still alive, or that you are one yourself?"

Lin Yuxia suddenly thought of that morning, and her expression suddenly became extremely strange.

She once went to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city with Qi Yuan to carry out a mission to save giant pandas. Lin Yuxia's Originium skills were powerless in front of Qi Yuan. She did not look back at the time and shamefully thought Qi Yuan was her own father.

He called him father right away.

If a girl calls a handsome man younger than her "Dad", she will basically never forget it.

And Qi Yuan's Originium skill... can indeed be regarded as her superior skill. It seems that she just gave a light command, and the sand in the sky gathered in response for Qi Yuan to use.

There are indeed similarities between him and the Son of Earth and Stone described.

After repeated confirmation, Lin Yuxia did not see the Sarkaz horn on Qi Yuan's head.

She changed her words and said:

"With your Originium skills, can you remove all the rocks buried in the soil? At least... one hectare."
