Chapter 707 Attack
A large number of delicious dishes were brought over. The taste was naturally not bad, at least not bad for the people in this world, but... Li Qi always felt that it was a little lacking.
He still liked to eat the more "natural" meals, rather than the kind of molecular dishes that added too many artificial seasonings, crushed the ingredients and added various compounds, and then made into brand-new flavors.
This is not to say that there is anything inferior about these artificial compounds, but Li Qi's taste believes that the food made in this way has no background.
You know, ingredients are not born to be eaten.
The essence of each ingredient is to exist and survive.
They are life.
The charm of life lies in its magic, in the unimaginable, beyond imagination, and reasonable. The origin of each species, the birth of each life, whether it is as huge as a planet or as tiny as an ant, they are all equally magical.
Their origins are complex and mysterious. Each life has evolved through fighting and adapting to a complex environment. Each life is extremely precious, and the birth of each life is a miracle.
An accidental accident, in a muddy water of death, may ignite the flame of life to conquer the world and eventually evolve into complex life.
Countless gases flow endlessly in billions of double helices, like an engine, and everything begins when substances are pumped out of mitochondria.
From paramecium to multicellular organisms, then the evolution of both sexes, fission, programmed death, mitochondrial chimerism, aerobic metabolism, adaptability, immunity and disease, aging and death, life gives new life as a gift to new life through death.
This gift of life can be traced back to countless billions of years ago, generation after generation, perhaps to a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, perhaps to some dust floating on a comet, or to a little vitality on the ice. These are the initial disturbances of life.
These disturbances have been brewed over time and have become wild vegetables on the roadside swaying gently in the breeze, using the most magical biochemical magic to transform air into millions of compounds. Everything is so delicate and beautiful.
And picking wild vegetables, making them into food, and eating them is such a miracle.
The things in the reactor, although they can't be said to be not amazing... but for Li Qi's taste, they are still a little bit off, at least not so exquisite.
But Li Qi's reaction is completely different in Suetaki's eyes.
In Suetaki's eyes, these top delicacies, after Li Qi ate them, had a feeling... not very delicious.
This made Suetaki doubt his taste a little bit, and he tasted a few more bites.
This taste, this complex fragrance, this kind of greenness that is separated from the original plants, is full of technology and the taste of complex processing by chefs.
This is a taste and taste that natural ingredients can never reach, rich in nutrition, which is also a proof of their equipment and technology, and is the unique food culture of the Forward Alliance.
It's great! This is obviously the top equipment, the most advanced, and the most difficult to operate cooking machine can make it. Just to operate this cooking machine, you need more than ten years of training proficiency. Every taste layer, every chewing taste is planned. How can the things made in this way not be delicious?
So, Mo Taki said, "Li Qi, why do you look like that? Isn't it delicious? This is the top-notch cooking machine."
"Well... the equipment is a good thing, but it feels a little abused." Li Qi thought about it for a while and said so.
"Good things don't exist in the sense of abuse." Mo Taki said so.
Li Qi didn't comment and simply glanced around.
He had stopped interpreting the information brought by Zhen Zhiyun at this moment, because this would make him more accustomed to the perspective of mortals, and to be honest... Li Qi didn't like to read minds that much.
Sometimes, observing the other person's thoughts and listening to the other person's words are far more meaningful than reading minds directly.
But just like this, his observation ability can easily feel that these internal or external devices are filled with every part of life, and the more devices are involved, the more they like it.
The more high-end the plug-ins of clothes are, the better they look, and the more refined the food processing is, the more delicious it is, including the entire city, every aspect, every person, every place, all of which are taken over by equipment.
But... isn't this good?
Aren't these devices their "magic"?
It doesn't seem to be bad.
However, Li Qi was poked again, and a voice came to his ear: "Hey? Brother, why are you stunned again?"
"Oh, sorry, I'm used to it." Li Qi looked at Suetaki apologetically.
It's bad, this habit can't be changed.
Li Qi's sudden daze problem is exactly the same as Shen Shuibi's. If he doesn't pay attention, he will fall into thinking. If no one reminds him, he may think for dozens of days.
Anyway, he won't be hungry, sleepy, and will be awakened when encountering something.
However, it is precisely because of this habit that Li Qi's concept of time has a certain difference, which is also what he wants to change.
He doesn't have to stick to the mortal concept of time, but Li Qi believes that there is no absolutely perfect perspective in this world. The real God's perspective that can observe and experience everything is actually a kind of ability to change in various perspectives.
Now, Li Qi has lost this ability, which makes him only feel the time flow of the immortals, and wastes a lot of time in vain, so he wants to get used to the time of the Forward Alliance.
Li Qi woke up again, and then at this time, he suddenly said: "By the way, Mo Taki, I want to hire you to help me do something, I will give you enough compensation."
"What?" Mo Taki asked casually.
Is it to ask me to run errands?
"Aren't you a patrol officer? I want to follow you and see how you usually work, but I may suddenly be dazed during the process, and you will be responsible for waking me up at this time, how about it? For me... I will pay you your salary, how much you pay, I will pay you as much as you pay." Li Qi said.
"My law enforcement process is confidential." Mo Taki frowned, no matter how much money, this kind of thing can't be done.
"It's okay, I will be your colleague soon." Li Qi smiled: "You should be able to receive the news in a while, and then you can see if you can agree."
As Li Qi spoke, Mo Taki received a communication almost immediately.
This was transmitted directly through the equipment, and it was a message from the director.
"Emergency notice, you have been assigned a partner. Report back tomorrow. Find out first. This is the news from the headquarters. You will have a partner in the future, and your work will be easier."
Mo Taki was stunned.
Hello.
You have all-powerful hands and eyes?
He looked at Li Qi, unbelievable: "You... in one day?"
"Not a day, a few minutes, I just thought of the idea, because I found that following you seems to be able to see more social aspects, which helps me integrate into society." Li Qi said so.
Just a few minutes ago, he sent a message to Shen Shuibi, asking Rabbit to help him with this matter.
Although I don't know how Rabbit did it, it's only a few minutes, so it shouldn't be too troublesome. Maybe Rabbit sent a message directly to the Lord of the Forward Alliance.
Yes, the Lord of this place knows the existence of Shen Shuibi and Li Qi and his wife. Li Qi had already reported it when he came. He still respects the Forward Alliance very much, just like he never makes counterfeit money, does not create materials out of thin air in exchange for benefits, and does not make false resumes. He just leaves the experience blank after registering his identity.
These are some of his habits. He is not a good person, but he sticks to his own way, which is reflected in these subtle details.
The way is not a false slogan, but it is truly implemented in every place, every gust of wind, every grain of sand, words and deeds, which are all manifestations of the way.
But Mo Taki didn't know these. He only knew that the mysterious man in front of him became his colleague while chatting and laughing.
"Who... are you?" Mo Taki felt a little dry in his throat.
"My name is Li Qi." Li Qi said seriously.
Just like when he fled in Dalu Country, he never concealed his real name.
——————————
In short, Li Qi now has a formal job and his own dormitory.
He and Mo Taki have also become colleagues. Now his main task is to accompany Mo Taki, the patrol officer, every day, running around the streets, and observing the daily life of the Forward Alliance as before.
At the same time, he is also used to thinking while acting, so that he will no longer be dazed and slow, but busy like ordinary people.
For this reason, he really worked with Suetaki, handling cases, recording files, organizing documents, entering information, and weekly reports, he took care of everything, which surprised Suetaki.
But Suetaki couldn't say anything, because Li Qi did it quickly and well. Although this rich young man had a lot of connections, he was an excellent colleague no matter how you looked at it.
Except for being in a daze and being stunned from time to time, this is basically a perfect person.
Gentle and elegant, with a very good temper, never angry, even facing those unreasonable people who can make trouble, he can handle it well.
He has strong working ability and can handle anything easily. He can quickly complete the tedious tasks such as meeting minutes, ideological reports, situation summaries, and warehouse inventory that the superiors need to write, but for some reason, this colleague never handles cases personally, and always lets Suetaki do it.
Suetaki guessed that he might not be good at this kind of thing. After all, patrol officers deal with trivial matters, at most some petty thefts, and generally there will not be any major cases. For a young man like Li Qi, handling copywriting should be much easier than dealing with these trivial matters.
But he was also happy with this, division of labor and cooperation.
This kind of work lasted for more than half a year without knowing it.
After more than half a year of getting along, Suetaki has gradually gotten used to this rich colleague who dropped from the sky. After all, the other party did not actually use his power to do anything. In Suetaki's view, the other party was very serious about "integrating into society."
The relationship between the two gradually became closer. Of course, this is what Suetaki himself thinks.
But in the past six months, Suetaki found that the other party's habit of thinking in a daze has not changed at all, and Suetaki can only remind him every time.
Well...
How to say it.
It's also good, at least it shows that he is a living person, and besides, this habit is quite cute.
This kind of daily life has passed for a while.
One afternoon, Li Qi and Suetaki were on night shift as usual and were on duty in a small alley on the street.
There are some nightclubs here, where psychotropic drugs and various criminal fights are rampant.
You don't need to do anything when you are on duty here. Just stand here, and the crime rate can be greatly reduced.
After all, although the Forward Alliance is generally good and the social atmosphere is high, there are always some people who don't like social order.
But the patrol officer has a combat power that is not inferior to the seventh rank with the blessing of equipment, so he is not afraid of these.
The lights are bright and the neon billboards at night are huge virtual scenes, but under the virtual scenes are dirty sewage, and Li Qi and two people wearing handsome patrol officer uniforms are standing under the neon lights. Young people who want to participate in the carnival or drunkards who have drunk alcohol will take two steps around when they see them, and they seem to sober up.
The patrol officer's uniform is very cool. It is a typical exoskeleton mecha, with hundreds of equipment, different signal lights, different block modules, plus a helmet and display equipment. The art style makes Li Qi very satisfied, so he is still very happy to wear it like this when running outside.
Moreover, this magic armor is no joke. In Li Qi's words, this thing contains the Great Sun True Flame, which burns vigorously for 100,000 years without extinguishing. The power inside is enough to blow up some smaller and weaker eighth-grade worlds. Moreover, when used as a single attack, the energy is quite concentrated, and the range of combat destruction will not exceed ten meters. The high compression of energy also brings a high intensity increase in lethality, and built-in fool-proof operation, intelligent combat and flight control algorithms, so that people who are not in the grade can easily learn and operate it.
In other words, people only need to make decisions here, and how to execute the decisions after making them can be completely executed by this equipment.
Cool.
Li Qi is ready to make a set for himself, which is really cool.
However, Suetaki is already used to such equipment, and he looks a little depressed.
"What's wrong? Look like this." Li Qi glanced at Suetaki.
"Alas, the world is going downhill. This kind of place should be closed down. It's a waste of social resources to be in such a state." Suetaki kicked his feet in disdain, and then found a bottle thrown randomly, so he bent down to pick it up, walked to the trash can not far away and threw it into it.
"Waste of resources?" Li Qi smiled and was about to say something, but he immediately looked into the alley.
The next moment Li Qi reacted, Suetaki was shocked!
Someone attacked the police!
It's advanced equipment! (End of this chapter)
