We are from the future ark

"This, just consider it as an apology."

"——Humph, I haven't forgiven you yet."

However, Ifrit's attitude made Charmander feel relieved, but she also became arrogant again. Her face was slightly red, maybe because it was the first time she accepted someone's apology, so she felt a little embarrassed.

"But I won't mind. As long as you don't spank me in the future, I can still be your good friend."

As he said this, Charmander took the sugar cube from Ifrit's hand, put it in his mouth, and began to chew it gently.

...Why is this candy tasteless? However, before Charmander could ask such a question, she felt dizzy the next moment.

"boom."

"Ifrit?!" X2

Ifrit suddenly fell asleep, which frightened Hemer and Saria. Saria was quick to hug Ifrit. Hemer looked at Chen Qi and asked in panic:

"Mr. Chen Qi, what on earth is going on?!"

"Don't worry, this is medicine. It's good for Ifrit."

However, Chen Qi waved his hand and immediately dispelled their doubts and said, "Her infection with Originium disease is too serious. If she doesn't receive medication, she might not fall asleep next time, but fall to the ground directly."

"If the Originium disease is well controlled, it will also help her control the Balrog. Saria and Dr. Hemer should know this better than me."

"…Is this a potion that can suppress Originium disease?"

However, Saria's focus was on this point. She looked at the body of the sleeping Charmander and the Originium particles on her skin, and there were indeed signs of slowing down.

Although it was very light and almost imperceptible, it also proved that Charmander's Originium disease had indeed been curbed.

"The inhibitory effect of this sugar is not obvious. The best way is to inject it intravenously. But unfortunately, it seems a bit difficult to get her to inject it intravenously."

Ifrit on the side also curled his lips, then rubbed his eyes and said helplessly: "I have roughly figured out the configuration of the medicine. Now I can only develop this kind of sugar cube as a temporary emergency measure."

"If I work overtime for another ten days, I might see some results... But if I do that, I might die suddenly, so I need to take a break."

"..."

However, the moment Ifrit's complaint stopped, Hemer and Saria were both silent. They all looked at Ifrit. Hemer even walked a few steps in front of Ifrit and took a closer look at the girl in front of him who had grown up a lot.

It was not obvious when she was with the Fire Demon before, but now Ifrit's complexion was indeed a little bad, her face was a little pale, and there were thick dark circles around her eyes. Obviously, she had been working overtime these days.

"…You don't have to work so hard, Ifrit."

Hemer also stroked the cheek of the child in front of him with a bit of heartache, and said in a moving tone:

"You can rely on us. Saria and I, as well as White-faced Owl and Mel, we can all help you."

"You don't have to hold on so hard, Ifrit."

"...Everyone still needs me, Hemer."

When Ifrit heard this, the softest part of her heart was deeply touched, but after a brief silence, Ifrit rarely refuted Hemer's words.

"Besides me, only Chen Qi knows the process of this skill."

"There are so many infected people in Rhodes Island, and there are so many infected people in Terra waiting for our medicine. Chen Qi and I have no choice but to do it."

"I'm sorry, Hemer, but at a time like this, this is really something only we can do."

"You are still a child." There were tears in the corners of Hemer's eyes. Looking at Ifrit, who had grown up a lot but was still a child in front of her, she said with great distress:

"You and Chen Qi, you are still children... Why should the fate of all Terra be placed on your shoulders?"

"...Hemer, I'm no longer at the age where people would feel sorry for me if I act like a spoiled child."

A helpless expression also emerged on Ifrit's face. She and Chen Qi were both people who grew up in adversity. They understood better than anyone that they were no longer at the age where they could act like a spoiled child.

This world is very cruel. You may be acting like a spoiled brat in your mother's arms one second, and the next, your family will be broken up and you will have to watch your relatives and friends die in front of you.

Just as Chen Qi said, growing up is a process. It is possible to know it slowly, but it is more likely to happen in just a moment.

"Don't worry, Hemer. I'm never alone."

Ifrit gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Hemer's eyes. Now she was taller than Hemer and looked extremely reliable.

"Before, I had you by my side, now I have Chen Qi by my side."

"The two of us will definitely bring hope back to this continent."

Ifrit said this, and glanced at Chen Qi beside her, only to find that he was also smiling and looking at her as he came to her side.

The palms of their hands touched quietly, and after a slight hesitation, Ifrit responded to Chen Qi by interlocking her fingers.

The little movements of the two were all seen by Saria who was standing by. However, this time, Saria's eyes were not so hostile, but rather helpless and compromising.

"It seems... we can no longer interfere in matters between young people."

Saria sighed in her heart, and at this moment, she felt again that she might be old.

But seeing the children grow up and become independent, she felt heartbroken but also extremely relieved.

There is still hope on this continent...

Chapter 114: Xingxiong's Crisis, Chen Qi's "Plan" against Lao Wei

"Is this... the medicine that can suppress Originium disease?"

In Kal'tsit's office, at this moment, a small red sugar cube was in Kal'tsit's palm. Her eyes, which had seemed a little cold and fierce due to lack of sleep for a long time, were now emitting an undisguised light of joy.

"I've just tested it on Ifrit. Although the proportion of the herbs is still a little inaccurate, the effect is already there."

Opposite Kal'tsit's desk, Chen Qi held a cup of coffee, sipped it, and then said slowly:

"Preparing the potion requires more time and medicinal materials. Now I am just getting started, so the effect is limited, but it is enough to curb the Originium disease and provide emergency treatment."

“…That’s enough.”

Kal'tsit let out a long sigh after a long time, and then carefully put the sugar cube back on the sterile handkerchief used as a cushion underneath, looking very careful, as if she was holding some priceless treasure.

Although this sugar cube looks so ordinary, in Kal'tsit's opinion, it is countless times more precious than any treasure or famous weapon on Terra.

This is something that can save the lives of thousands of infected people!

"…It's hard to imagine that such a drug could actually be developed in the future."

It took Kal'tsit a long time to calm down. She felt complicated, relieved, but also a little inexplicably empty.

Rhodes Island has spent so many years, but it can only delay the development of Originium disease. Moreover, this process is subject to various restrictions and constraints. The life of every infected person is almost on a countdown.

However, all the hard work and efforts of so many people were accomplished in just a few days by a teenager who had been here for less than a month. At this moment, Kal'tsit's complicated feelings can be imagined.

"If only...she could see this day."

For some reason, Kal'tsit suddenly thought of that person. Her eyes, which were usually cold, actually showed a bit of sadness. She murmured to herself:

"If she could have seen this day earlier... If everyone could have looked forward to this day... Nothing would have turned out like this..."

However, the sadness only lasted for a short moment. When Kal'tsit closed her eyes and opened them again, all her emotions were contained in her eyes.

"I will go inform Kulushiel now and ask her to analyze the ingredients and process them on the assembly line."

"——This is why I came to see you, Dr. Kelsey."

However, Chen Qi waved his hand and motioned for Kal'tsit to sit down. Although Kal'tsit was puzzled, she still sat back obediently.

"I came to you to tell you that this kind of medicine should not be manufactured on a large scale or in a noisy manner."

"...Why?" Kal'tsit was a little puzzled when she heard this, and asked with a slightly frown:

"This medicine can save so many infected people. Not to mention other things, the number of infected people in danger in Rhodes Island alone is astonishing. This medicine can save their lives."

"——I just asked you not to make a big noise. Who told you not to do it?"

However, Chen Qi shook his head upon hearing this, tapped the table with his fingers, and said to Kal'tsit:

"Don't forget, we are essentially a pharmaceutical company. Let's not talk about armaments for now. Just talking about the quality of our current operators, do you think our overall level can compare with that of any country's army?"

"Without capital, we can't make big moves. Otherwise, Rhodes Island wouldn't be alive today. I think you should understand this better than I do."

A potion that can cure Originium disease sounds like a savior, but Chen Qi is very calm. He knows that the potion that can cure Originium disease is not the one that can save everything, just like the crisis and conflicts on this continent are not caused by Originium disease.

On the contrary, if the news of the potion that can cure Originium disease spreads, the big countries that are struggling with Originium disease will most likely shift their attention to Rhodes Island.

Don't think about how they will cooperate with Rhodes Island. Cooperation is always between equal parties. The current Rhodes Island has no qualifications to negotiate at the same table with the big powers.

If the big countries noticed all this... then, Rhodes Island would be destroyed. The recipe of the Originium potion would also be exposed. However, all this would not only fail to save the infected, but would destroy their only hope.

In this world, there is no major country that is so kind as to really want to rescue all the infected people.

"...I understand what you said."

Kal'tsit also calmed down again. She was a little overwhelmed by the joy of success. Now that she has calmed down, she has realized that her previous behavior almost caused a disaster.

"Then put them aside for now. Your people will be in charge of the production of these sugar cubes. I will treat the production of Originium Disease Potion with the highest alert."

"That's right." Chen Qi also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "By the way, the production of this kind of sugar cube is limited, and the materials used are quite expensive, so I suggest giving it to those with severe Originium disease first."

"Also, it's best not to make it public, or even let them know that they were healed by something."

"I have a way to do this and I'll arrange it." Kal'tsit nodded. This matter could be said to be a huge turning point for Rhodes Island, but also a huge risk. She would naturally not take it lightly.

"Besides, I was just about to come find you. There's something I need you to take care of."

Kal'tsit said this, handed a document report to Chen Qi, and said lightly: "It's from Longmen."

"Longmen? Is that Lao Wei?"

Chen Qi was also quite surprised. During this period, he had been very law-abiding. As for Longmen, apart from daily cooperation matters, only Shi Huaiya would occasionally go to Rhodes Island and often bring gifts and supplies, probably to ease the tense relationship between the two sides caused by Xingxiong last time.

Shi Huaiya also went to look for Chen Qi several times, but Chen Qi was busy with medicine at the time and kept avoiding her. Shi Huaiya felt bored and did not come again.

"It's about Xing Xiong."

Kal'tsit's expression turned cold again as she spoke. "Because Xingxiong's reckless behavior last time was known to Wei Yanwu, Wei Yanwu said that he would hold a cooperation meeting between Longmen and Rhodes Island to deal with Xingxiong's problem seriously."

"Because we need to get the opinion of our Rhode Island, and you are one of the parties involved, so you must be present."

"…This old Wei."

Chen Qi frowned upon seeing this, and said something in an extremely disgusted tone, then put the report aside.

"He just wanted to use Xingxiong to test my identity. This old Wei must have smelled something."

"He probably has some guesses, and he may even know your identity." Kal'tsit reminded her, "Wei Yanwu has a very good nose, and he can even insert spies into our Rhodes Island. He is an old monster."

"But the problem is that we have to agree. Otherwise, Lao Wei might really use the Star Bear to test our attitude." Chen Qi also knew Lao Wei's plan.

It's nothing more than that he has seen clearly that Xingxiong is very likely to have some relationship with him, and he has understood his character well and will definitely not ignore what happened to Xingxiong. But if he pays attention to it, it will play into Lao Wei's hands and he can thoroughly verify Chen Qi's identity.

But if Chen Qi doesn't respond, then Old Wei can also take drastic measures and gamble with Chen Qi on Xing Xiong's safety.

After all, unlike Shi Huaiya, the power behind Xing Xiong is really nothing compared to Lao Wei.

Even if Old Wei would not do anything to Xing Xiong, what if? He was not the kind of person who would not do something dirty, and Chen Qi did not dare to gamble with Old Wei on Xing Xiong's safety.

Wei Yanwu also saw this clearly and dared to make such a decision.

"Old Wei, if I can go back this time, I will definitely pull out all those old teeth in your mouth."

"So what are you going to do now?" Kal'tsit couldn't help but ask. She felt that this situation was a bit troublesome.

However, a mysterious smile appeared on Chen Qi's face, but this smile was not so pretty, instead it had a bit of a sinister feeling.

"He wants to play, that's great, I also want to play with him."

"Originally, this kind of thing is too immoral. I wanted to save face for Lao Wei, but he came forward today, so I had no choice but to do this."

As Chen Qi said this, the smile on his face deepened. Under the gaze of Kal'tsit, who was watching with a hint of fear in her eyes, he smiled grimly:

"It just so happens that I have already built a one-way communication system with the future time period through the device. I can pass the command to the future."

"I originally thought that this kind of communication that can only transmit instructions would not be of any use, but now it seems to be of great use."

"Then let Old Wei of this world come and meet his future 'family'."
