Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

This big deal didn't last long, and Herman readily purchased these obsidians at a price slightly higher than the market price.

He was also surprised that Beichen actually had such a large amount of obsidian in his hands. He even wondered whether Beichen had discovered a new source of minerals in the volcano during his mission just now.

When Beichen explained that it was taken out from Pompeii's belly, the expression on his face immediately turned into surprise.

This is a good deal for both parties. These obsidians can create more value in the hands of Herman than in the hands of Beichen.

Because Herman knew more rich people who were willing to spend a lot of money for such a useless little stone.

"You two, are you done talking?"

The doctor was still standing there, seemingly thinking about something. When he saw Beichen and Herman coming out, he said hello.

"Well, we're done talking. However, Mr. Mayor seems to have something to say to you, so I won't interrupt."

Beichen nodded and replied.

"Yes, doctor, I also have something to say to you."

Herman continued.

"I heard Ceylon say a lot about your Rhode Island. This is the first time in so many years that she has said so many words in front of me. Of course, this is just a small talk between you and me, and it does not mean that Xilan Star and Rhode Island.”

The doctor nodded. Since he only represented himself, there was no need to be so reserved.

Watching the two of them walk away, Beichen began to figure out where to go next, but he didn't expect that he would be involved in other troubles later on.

"First of all, thank you very much, Doctor of Rhode Island. Without your help, my daughter's reckless actions may have ended badly, and Siesta may have been destroyed by a natural disaster in advance."

"I didn't do much."

The doctor shook his head and said, this is true. Most of the time, he plays an auxiliary role, just thinking of solutions and acting as a microphone.

Herman continued without commenting on the doctor's words.

"Clonin was cultivated by me. He is ambitious and of course has the ability, so over the years I have always turned a blind eye to some of his little moves behind his back."

"But in the past few years, he has gone astray, so I took the opportunity of going to the new development zone to leave Hei behind to monitor him to see if this kid can still be used."

"Of course the result will disappoint you, right? But why are you telling me this?"

The doctor was a little confused, and Herman's tone didn't sound like he was complaining, but more like he was telling a story.

Herman did not answer directly. He turned around and looked at the beach. At this time, the beach became lively again due to the entry of tourists.

"I like walking along this beach very much, because, my wife, she was sleeping in this sea. I still remember that day, the weather was a little hot, the sunset was beautiful, right here, she said to me, 'What if It would be great if we could live here forever'.

"At that time, the place was not so lively, but she was a lively person, and in the blink of an eye, I was left alone."

The doctor was already shouting for help in his heart.

I'm not a buddy, why did I suddenly start talking about these things? How should I answer this? I came here for a vacation, not to listen to an old man miss his dead wife. Beichen, Beichen, help me!

This can be said to be the blind spot of the doctor's knowledge. After all, this is what he is least good at.

Having said that, why do you two like to talk to others about this kind of thing? You are indeed a family.

"Doctor, look back."

It's a beautiful city.

"Can you understand? This city is the paradise I built for her."

The doctor just nodded silently.

"Why am I telling you this... Because I can see that you and I are the same kind of person."

Herman said with a wry smile.

"Where does this come from?"

"In this world, some things cannot be solved with good things. Sometimes, you have to use some so-called bad things."

Enough of the Riddler.

"For me, kindness or not has no meaning a long time ago. There are only results and this city."

"Why don't you tell Ceylon these words?"

The doctor asked this question, and Herman was stunned for a moment.

"If I needed my daughter's understanding, my relationship with her would not be what it is now, but I still want to thank you. After this incident, my relationship with her has eased a lot, but that's all."

"I will not force her to understand me. It will take her a long time to understand that the world is not as orderly as she thinks."

"Black hopes she will never understand, and I...sadly, I have lost the chance to choose."

Herman took out some pieces of paper and handed them to the doctor.

"This is........"

"The new geological report, Hei was just here to deal with it. Although it is considered confidential, I believe in your character."

"Well, I conservatively estimate that it will take several years."

After taking it, the doctor looked at it carefully and made a judgment.

"But Xi Tower will one day come to an end in the bursting magma. After that, the high-tech zone where I have been investing my energy will be a brand new mobile city. In the near future, it will become a new Xi Tower. Star.”

"My attachment to this place is deep, but that doesn't mean that I will turn a blind eye to the sleeping volcano next to me."

"By the way, doctor, Ceylon wants to join you, I asked Hei to go with her, and I will ask Rhode Island to take care of her from now on."

Selling his daughter so simply, along with a top killer, apart from anything else, this is already showing his greatest sincerity.

"Maybe one day, you can tell Ceylon what I said. Of course, you can never tell her. I trust your judgment, doctor."

"One day in the future, when she needs some help, you can come to me. No matter where Siesta is or what she looks like, this city will always be her backing."

It felt like an old father was telling his daughter before leaving, but the person he was telling her was the doctor instead of Ceylon.

It always feels weird. It would be better to say this to Ceylon in person.

But the doctor didn't say much. He would talk to Ceylon later.

But neither of them noticed that someone secretly put the recorder into his pocket in the dark.

Hey, let's play it to Ceylon now and see how our Lord Mayor will defend it later.
