Wandao long distance

Li Qi has been observing for fifteen years.

In fifteen years, there have been 'number four'.

Yes, No. 1 has persisted for six years, which is considered a long time.

The remaining three, No. 2, No. 4, and the three of them together only lasted nine years.

"No need for No. 5, I almost understand it already." Li Qi nodded slightly. He already fully understood the basic operating rules of this place.

Of course, this is only the lowest level, the eighth and ninth grades. As for those who are not in the first grade, they usually stay in the cave.

If they come out, they probably won't survive a day at all.

After all, for those eighth-level people out there who are living miserable lives, they also want to make some extra money.

However, even if they live in the cave, they will definitely not feel comfortable.

They live in a difficult and desperate toil.

The entire civilization, the entire world, and all people must work hard.

Ordinary people want to mine raw materials. They will become miners or farmers. All productivity must be subject to deployment. The mined ore will be processed and refined, and then the essence of many ordinary ores will be tempered into ninth-grade raw materials.

This requires large machinery and millions of workers working day and night to do it.

However, this is not enough. They have mined one mining area after another, but the ore alone is not enough, and it needs to be combined with other things, such as special herbs. The juice of these herbs can give the ore new properties.

As a result, large tracts of fertile land began to grow necessary medicinal herbs.

Factories must serve Jiupin.

The land is, the mines are, all natural resources, except those that are necessary for people to survive, all have to serve the parts of the ninth grade.

Cities have become industrial cities, frantically extracting their own resources, extracting the essence, and then refining them into parts. A city can generally only be responsible for one part.

Fertile fields are used to grow needed plants and synthesize needed medicines. Oceans, land, forests, mountains, everything must be converted into resources.

For this reason, everyone must work.

Everyone's goal has been determined since childhood. For these worlds, there is no room for idlers.

Everyone has to participate in forced labor and then forge parts. The parts are combined into ninth grade, and the ninth grade is combined into eighth grade. Only things above eighth grade have value in the market.

Despite this, the eighth grade is still an ant, and living outside is extremely hard.

When you come to this 'City of Dreams', you are destined to be miserable. The design intention here is not to make you happy.

But despite the pain, this city still gives you a little chance.

As long as you can catch it, you can become seventh-grade, sixth-grade, fifth-grade! The Demonic Way has really released many, many techniques, which can be bought very cheaply, and are of high quality and low price. These techniques are all very powerful.

Of course, this cheapness refers to the original value compared to these techniques.

After using the world's techniques to reach the sixth level, you can go to the outside world. In the vast outside world, you can be regarded as a person.

Unfortunately, No. 1 failed to do so in the end.

In other words, most people can't do it.

Only those sporadic, top-notch, most high-end people like that are possible.

If we look at it in terms of population ratio, even 0.01 is not enough. I'm afraid we have to add dozens of zeros. After all, there are too many people here and the population base is there.

However, Number One is not dead yet.

Li Qi looked at No. 1, and then decided to talk to him.

In a flash of thought, Li Qi came to the other party in an instant.

At this moment, 'No. 1' was sitting dejectedly next to the waste liquid pool, surrounded by various pipes.

Broken, fragmented, and chaotic, they filled the twisting alleys of the slums.

Of course, they are said to be alleys, but they are actually just some passages built on pipes. For the eighth grade, this kind of thing is still very simple. They can even build the roads very beautifully. Although they are narrow, they are still beautiful. .

Of course, this means "even".

At this moment, there is no such 'even', the people here do not have such a mood. This is not a pipe that purifies the air, but a secret place above the exhaust vent of a factory.

Just like there are cockroaches in the blind corners of the wall, the blind corners of these large block factories are also filled with those decadent and lifeless people.

How the streets rumbled like a pit filled with dying beasts, the only place unguarded, littered with corpses, yet... full of people.

Someone is dying here every minute, and someone is joining here every minute.

Some people are dejected, and some people still don't give up.

However, being able to come here, there is not much possibility of making a comeback. Many people here seem to know that resistance or defense is useless. There is nothing worth stealing anyway. Many people fall lazily on the ground, waiting. Possible future death or worse outcome.

They are already dead, but they just don't have the courage to face it yet.

Number one is here.

Li Qiluo landed here.

Seeing someone coming, and their cultivation seemed to be high, all the men and women who were doing nothing on the ground looked over, and then, these people surrounded them like zombies.

Li Qi's arrival brought a glimmer of life to the lifeless place.

A bunch of people rushed towards Li Qi.

Li Qi waved his hand gently.

Everyone lay down without the ability to resist, unable to move on the ground.

They found themselves uninjured.

And the only person who can move at this moment is 'Number One'.

Maintaining this state, Li Qi walked up to No. 1 and said, "We meet again."

Number One raised his head.

At this moment, he felt that his heart began to accelerate rapidly, almost bursting. He also felt an unknown fear that he had never experienced before, a fear that seemed to spread from his bone marrow. Part of his will wanted to He wanted to die, trying to escape the sea of ​​suffering, but it didn't work, he had to live to take revenge.

Seeing Li Qi appearing in front of him, No. 1's whole body was shaking, and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead.

He knew that his journey had come to an end, and he had survived along the way.

Next, either he will make a comeback, or he will be ruined.

No matter which ending, it is a good thing for him.

However, it was obviously such a good thing, but the overflowing tears turned Li Qi in front of him into a gray figure.

"I've met...senior." The voice of No. 1 was a little confused.

"You still remember me." Li Qi said. "I'll never forget it in my life." Number 1 said.

"Do you still think this place is good?" Li Qi asked again.

"...There are good places and bad places, but it is always better than outside the territory." Number 1 was silent for a while, and then said this.

"Outside the territory, if you can live, your tribe will also live. Now... there is a high probability that someone has refined your soul. Your tribe has been exterminated. After your death, your civilization will no longer exist." Li Qi He said: "Even so, do you think this place is better?"

"Yes, it's better here. At least I know how I died. It's not the same as outside the territory. Suddenly one day... the world around me disappeared. Then I asked around and found out that two powerful people passed by by chance and bumped into each other. Let’s test each other out.” Number 1 said.

This time Li Qi was silent.

Yes, they have every reason to stay here, and they have every reason to choose to let the devil devour them, precisely because it is better here.

They had no way to survive, and now they are participating in this life-and-death trial, which is much better than outside the territory.

However, being able to realize this and still not regret it after losing everything, number one in the eighth rank, can be considered to be determined.

You know, there are many people who are not so determined in their hearts. Even if they know that what they did is right and it is a necessary choice, after failure, they will still blame the past and why they did it. There is no need to do it.

This is the so-called blame.

It takes a lot of courage to know that what you are making is a necessary choice, that there is no regret medicine to take, and to admit it calmly.

Especially... This failure caused No. 1 to lose everything. His people, his cave, everything about him, and the entire world was destroyed because of his negligence.

This is a far heavier burden than losing a job due to a failed decision-making. Even this can be accepted, which shows... that he really believes in his own judgment.

It's not me who's wrong, I'm not wrong, it's just bad luck. When I came here, I knew that this place had a narrow escape from death, but now it's just the same bad ending as I originally thought.

Li Qi could read the other party's superficial thoughts, and Number One did indeed think so.

At the same time, his heart was now filled with hope because of Li Qi's arrival.

A powerful person will never appear casually. Being able to appear here means that he is likely to have the opportunity to become the opponent's 'chess piece'.

Li Qi felt the thoughts in the other person's heart and shook his head slightly: "Unfortunately, I'm not here to find you."

These words instantly stunned No. 1.

No. 1's fire of hope was extinguished, and in an instant, his heart tightened violently.

At this moment, Li Qi stretched out his hand.

From the depths of No. 1's soul, a wisp of demonic energy fled in panic.

But it was impossible to escape. Li Qi grabbed this wisp of demonic energy with a slight twist.

The demonic energy came outside and transformed into a beauty.

The beauty is charming, with a slender and weak body, only the plump chest, white jade, and a pitiful face with purple lips and bare teeth.

She was dressed in tulle, and was faintly visible, but also seemed to be invisible. She bowed in a hurry, seemingly panicked, but inadvertently she was charming. No. 1 was stunned for a moment.

"Senior - do we have any grudge? Why?" The demonic thought looked at Li Qi in panic, wondering why Li Qi did this.

"She is really a woman. I thought she had changed, but is this just a clone of you?" Li Qi looked at the witch and asked.

It was indeed a witch. The other party's appearance, temperament, and the identity of the other party traced back by Li Qi were all that of a woman. This appearance was not considered pretentious.

If it were a man and he used his demonic thoughts to pretend like this, then Li Qi would definitely give him a flying kick.

Disgusting, right?

"This is just a clone. It's not appropriate to meet the senior in person. I will meet the senior in person right now." Mo Nian said, his body suddenly melted, and then stretched out an invisible 'silk thread', leading directly to the upper level.

This place is only a few thousand miles away from the upper level, so it comes very quickly.

After a while, the witch who had the same appearance as the evil thought came to Li Qi.

Although they look the same, their temperaments are completely different.

How should I put it... Although she looks very charming, the demonic thoughts are just illusions. Only after the real body arrives, the 'atmosphere', the kind of demeanor that can affect the surrounding world, can be fully revealed.

Just because the other party appeared here, the atmosphere of the entire slum was different. Almost everyone, except Li Qi, both men and women, fell into a state of sluggishness.

You have to say how good-looking she is, she's not that good-looking, but she just has a... 'first love' temperament.

At this moment, the hatred and anger in No. 1's heart disappeared.

It seems that as long as you can stay with the other person, nothing else matters.

The pain of the world being wiped out, the hatred of the people being killed, none of it mattered. Those were all false things, only the witch in front of him was real.

For her, I can do anything!

She is exactly what he exists. In the past, present, and future, he only sees her.

The unique princess in the world.

Only at this moment did No. 1 realize the so-called true 'self'.

The fire of first love burned in his heart.

he loves her.

Even if you have to burn your life for the other person, you will not hesitate.

She is everything and nothing else is okay.

He could feel his beating heart, and the sound was so sweet. His heart was playing the most beautiful music in the world!

The mind that was still unwavering even after falling into the abyss and being swallowed by the devil was directly destroyed at this moment, and it seemed that he would be addicted to love forever.

Li Qi frowned slightly.

"You are a troubled demon, but your troubles are really interesting." Li Qi said as he looked at the kneeling witch.

The devil of troubles is those who seek but cannot get, are greedy but incompetent, love without fruit, are born with doubts, follow ignorance, seem to have endless sufferings such as birth, old age, illness and death. They cause all living beings to be disturbed, disturb their body and mind, hinder their enlightenment, and make them unable to live forever. Tao fruit.

What the witch in front of me practices is the trouble of love, which is also a huge flaw surrounding the hearts of all living beings.

Then, she uses herself as bait to lure things around her into a dilemma where she cannot love them, so as to make the other person have evil thoughts.

"Senior was joking, so...Senior came to me, why exactly?" The witch was scared in her heart, but didn't know what to do, so she could only say this.

She herself is in the seventh level and is the strongest person in this area, so she also gets the opportunity to harvest the surrounding areas.

But she knew that the seventh grade was far from enough to face the person in front of her.

"Nothing, you can go." Li Qi waved his hand.

This time, the witch made her throw herself to the ground and hit the ground: "Senior, spare your life!"
