Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

The people who came to the store were not unreasonable people. After being warned, they behaved themselves.

Those who were just watching the fun took the opportunity to slip away, but the real fans were willing to stay here for a while.

"Attention, dear customers. To celebrate the outstanding performance of our two old customers, today's purchases will be discounted by 20% or more!"

Beichen secretly poked his head into the bar and took a look at the price list hanging above the bar counter.

My goodness, the price has increased by 30%. Even if there is a 20% discount, it is still a price increase.

"Please return to your seats and place your orders immediately! Each drink and snack is sold in limited quantities until they are sold out!"

"Discount? Is there such a good thing?"

Customers who didn’t know the original price were immediately fooled, but there was a reason why they didn’t realize it.

After all, even if Martin raised the prices of the items in the bar, they would still be much cheaper than those sold by his competitors.

This time, Martin took the opportunity to make a lot of money.

After being busy for a while, the last customer finally left the bar satisfied. It seems that there will be so many customers coming every day in the future.

"After closing time, we have the place to ourselves."

Zofia turned over the "Open" sign hanging outside the door and returned to the bar.

"Hahaha, this little bar is officially open after closing time."

Looking at the bar that had become a mess due to the sudden increase in customers, Martin sighed. It seemed that there would be some busy work after closing.

"You guys talk about business, I'll go clean up."

Sofia's expression suddenly became serious at this moment.

"Maria, as far as the results are concerned, you have enough points now."

"Is that enough............?"

Maria calculated silently in her mind, then shook her head in confusion and spoke.

"We still need a lot of points to enter the special tournament, but now we don't have enough."

Zofia also shook her head and began to explain.

"It doesn't mean you have to enter the special tournament. According to the latest regulations, you can win the title of knight with your current points and wait for the settlement. In this way, our goal will be achieved."

"I always thought that only those who made it to the Special Championships could be banned. Now that I think about it, there are indeed more people who have been banned than I thought. Is it because of the new rules?"

Beichen appeared out of nowhere and said thoughtfully, touching his chin.

"As long as we maintain this performance and hold onto our points until the end of the season, that's the best plan. Maria, the next race is a sprint race, where the points change will be smaller, so just treat it as a chance to consolidate your chances of winning."

"After this...don't participate in any competitions."

Sofia hesitated for a while, and finally said this.

"But, but just like that......"

"give up?"

Beichen added the two words that Maria couldn't say.

"You can see, Maria, that many people are paying attention to you now. This is not a good thing. Listen to your sister, okay? This is the best outcome."

There was even a hint of pleading in Zofia's tone.

"But this way, there will be no change. If we don't keep moving forward, the current situation of the Lin Guang family will not change at all..."

Maria raised her hand and then put it down.

"Don't think too much, okay? Maria, this is the best way, so stop while you're ahead."

Looking at Maria and Zofia, Beichen rarely stood on Maria's side this time.

"I think Zofia is right, there are just too many uncertainties."

To be honest, Beichen was still a little worried about some of the information that Charne revealed intentionally or unintentionally, and he was worried about Maria's life safety.

What, you mean just kill Charne?

Even if the entire No-Hero Alliance is wiped out, Maria will still be in trouble if things continue like this. Only by purging the entire upper echelons of Casimir can Maria's safety be guaranteed.

Or should they just tie Maria up to Rhodes Island? This is a good plan. They can prepare for this and it will be the ultimate backup plan after Maria can no longer stay in Casimir.

"Beichen, even you............"

Maria's face suddenly showed a very aggrieved expression. She had no idea why the two people who had supported her before suddenly changed their attitude.

"That employee told me some insider rumors. Maria's popularity allowed her to enter the Knights Association's upper echelons' field of vision earlier than other players."

"If we don't stop at the right place, they will take action. No matter what means they use, we won't be able to deal with it."

Zofia's tone hardened.

"I, I don't understand. If not wanting to be manipulated by them means bowing to them, what difference does it make?"

Maria's tone also became tougher.

"Well, I should say something about this."

Just when the two were on the verge of a fight, Beichen interrupted.

"Actually, I also have a lot of inside information. Out of trust in you two, I can reveal a little bit."

The two of them also calmed down and turned their eyes to Beichen.

"In the scrimmage match that just happened, I had a mission to accomplish. The requirement was to prevent Maria from entering the top three."

"what?!"

"Beichen you!"

The two of them immediately showed surprised expressions.

"In fact, I did the same, Maria. If it weren't for me, you would have a high chance of making it into the top three."

Beichen made a gesture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, which was also his most common attack method to steal points from Maria.

"But even though I deliberately lowered your points, your total points still exceeded the estimates of the people above."

Beichen shrugged and said helplessly.

"If I had known earlier, I should have taken away a few more of your points. This way you might not have run into the opponent who was bound to bring you defeat so early."

Will it definitely lead to failure?

After hearing these words, Maria fell into thought, while Zofia's eyes were fixed on Beichen's face.

"You two, I'm sorry for not informing you of this matter in advance. I just acted according to my own ideas."

Zofia shook her head and said, "No, Beichen, you did nothing wrong. If it were me, I would do the same. So, Maria, do you know what you are going to fight against?"

"I don't think I should stop anyway."

It's over. This silly girl is so stubborn that she's determined to go down this path to the end. I don't have the time to protect you 24 hours a day.

But..... maybe it can?

A strange little thing appeared in Beichen's hand, and the next moment it was bounced onto Maria's body by Beichen. At the moment of contact, the thing turned into an inconspicuous ray of light and entered Maria's body.

Okay, now Maria can play however she wants.
