My Endless Life.

Chapter 117 A bad premonition

In the end, Maru and Carol still didn't find out how Li Qi mastered the "Chi".

Mainly because Li Qi didn't want to talk, they didn't continue to ask.

After all, how to master Qi is not important. What is important is that Li Qi has the combat power to destroy the red-winged bird, which is enough.

The fog area is a very dangerous place, and the more powerful the fog explorer is, the greater contribution he can make to the exploration of the entire fog area.

No matter what, Li Qi is now qualified to be a Mist Explorer, and Carol can no longer stop Li Qi from becoming a Mist Explorer, especially since she is sure that he has combat power of at least the heavy fog level.

So on the third day after returning from the foggy area, Li Qi received the Mist Explorer Badge awarded by Carol herself.

Li Qi also skipped directly from the thin fog level and became a residual fog level fog explorer.

In fact, according to Li Qi's "battle record", it is not impossible to directly promote him to a heavy fog level fog explorer.

But although he has enough strength, Li Qi still lacks some theoretical knowledge.

After all, he had not received any training as a fog explorer, so being able to cross the class and become a residual fog level was already the limit of what he could do at the moment.

However, whether it is Maru or Carol, they all believe that Li Qi will definitely become a heavy fog level or mist level fog explorer in the future, and it is not impossible for him to even become a black fog level fog explorer.

You have to know that Li Qi's parents are Mist Explorers who may be promoted to the Black Mist level at any time. There is no reason why their son would be too different.

"It's just that Chris's idea of ​​making you an ordinary person has failed."

After presenting the badge to Li Qi, Carol said with a sigh.

Chris left the Magic Cube to Li Qi to bind because she didn't want Li Qi to obtain the relic during the contract ceremony.

If Li Qi does not obtain the relic at the contract ceremony, he will not be qualified to become a Tanwu family member.

In that case, Li Qi could live in the safe zone forever.

But now... Li Qi has become a fog explorer again, which goes against Chris's idea. I don't know what Chris's expression will be when she knows this.

Li Qi didn't show any special expression when listening to Carol's words.

He stroked the pattern on the Tanwu family badge with his right hand, and after a while he suddenly asked:
"Aunt Carol, what will happen to the body of the Red Wing Bird?"

"?" Carol looked at Li Qi in surprise, not knowing whether the surprise was because of the way Li Qi addressed her or the question he asked.

After a moment's thought, Carol replied, "They will be cut and preserved by the association, and the important organs and materials will be packaged and sent to the capital. The 'Relic Production Department' in the capital will be responsible for turning them into relics... Why are you asking this?"

"So, the creation of relics really cannot be separated from the creatures in the fog zone?"

"That's about right. So most of our gains in the fog area will be taken back by the association according to their value, just to make more relics."

"Then if I want to learn relic making, do you have a channel, Aunt Carol?"

Carol: “?”

There was something dangerous and unfriendly in Carol's eyes as she looked at Li Qi.

Good boy, you tried so hard to become a fog explorer. I thought you really wanted to explore the fog area, but now you turn around and want to become a relic maker?
If that's the case, you should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would have sent you to the capital long ago!

"You little brat! Do you want to be a Mist Explorer or a Maker? Can you be definite?"

Carol jumped up and slapped Li Qi on the head in annoyance.

The force of this blow is just right, it makes you feel dizzy but doesn't hurt your brain.

Li Qi scratched the place where Carol slapped him and said:
"I'm actually more curious about how the relics came about. I became a Tanwu family in order to have more contact with relics, so if you have a way for me to get in touch with the making of relics..."

Before, Li Qike didn't know that there was a "relative" like Carol.

He still thought he was an orphan with no background and no money.

I want to attract the attention of my superiors step by step and become a relic maker, but God knows how long I have to wait.

That's why I wanted to quickly become a fog explorer and enter the fog area to explore for relics and collect alchemical materials.

But...looking at Carol and Maru's performance now, they seem to be of a relatively high status.

If he had their help, perhaps Li Qi could avoid the lengthy assessment and learning process and directly engage in the making of relics in this world.

If Li Qi could become an excellent craftsman, then he probably wouldn't have to worry about the materials himself.

This was also one of the purposes for him to contact the Tanwu Association.

Carol rolled her eyes at Li Qi and pouted:

"We do have that idea, but if you really want to become a craftsman, you'll probably have to go to the capital. We're not sure if you can succeed, after all, this is a technology that the royal family possesses."

"The royal family..."

It is not surprising that the royal family, who built a huge kingdom and protected everyone in a safe zone, would have the technology to create relics.

But if this technology is exclusive to the royal family, it may not be so easy for Li Qi to become a craftsman.

The two were discussing, and Maru, who was eavesdropping, suddenly said:

"If Li Qi boy really wants to make a relic, he doesn't really have to rely on the royal family."

Li Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this and he looked at Malu who was walking over.

Carol frowned and stared at Maru fiercely:
"Maru... shut up!"

Maru winked at her and said:
"Carol, Li Qi has already become a member of the Mist Tan family. No matter how much you hide it, he will know what he should know in the future. What? Are you sure he will never go to the third floor in his life?"

"Uncle Maru, what do you mean by the third level? Is the third level... related to relic making?"

Li Qi ignored the irritable little girl's unfriendly look and asked Malu with an innocent face. Malu smiled and said:
"The foggy area on the third layer is also known as the 'City of Disorder'. It is an abandoned city. In this city, there is an ancient civilization that controls the power of relic production. The relic production of the royal family should actually have the same origin as theirs."

"There are still people alive in the foggy area?"

"As long as you know the methods, it is not difficult to survive in the fog area. Moreover, the situation on the third floor is special and there are still some safe places. If you really want to know the source of the relics, you can come with us when we go to explore the fog area later."

Malu invites Li Qi.

Carol's expression became even more gloomy. This time she couldn't help but say:
"Maru! Li Qicai is just residual mist!"

"But he already has the power of Heavy Mist, right? He meets the minimum entry standard for our team.

"And we are not going back to the fog area right away. Don't forget... we still have something to figure out. Before we figure this out, we will not go to the fog area to explore. This period of time is enough for Li Qi to grow."

Maru said casually, not caring about Carol's murderous glare.

It is true that Black Mist is the leader of the annual fog zone exploration team, but that doesn’t mean the other team members can only be at the Mist level.

Players with a heavy fog level can also join the team, but there are standard assessments.

Maru and Carol will stay in Rubino City for a while, which is enough time for Richie to grow.

If Li Qi can pass the heavy fog test during this period, he will be able to join the exploration team.

There is not much time left for Li Qi, but Malu has confidence in him.

Listening to Malu's words, Li Qi looked at them in surprise:

"Are you going to stay here and not go back to the capital?"

The exploration teams that set out from the royal capital would return to the royal capital with their gains in the foggy area.

The biggest gain of this exploration team is the white sphere that is suspected to be a special relic.

Logically speaking, they should have sent the sphere to the royal capital instead of leaving it in Rubino City.

But now, two Mist-level Mist Explorers are going to stay here, which proves that something has happened in Rubino City.

Thinking of the monsters that appeared in the foggy area a few days ago, Li Qi had some vague guesses about this matter:
"Something happened in Rubino City?"

"Why would a kid care about these things?"

As soon as Li Qi asked, Carol pushed him and said:

"Go and get ready. I'll teach you some other things these days while I have time. As for Rubino's affairs, you don't have to worry about them."

Carol, who looked even more like a child than Li Qi, called Li Qi a "child" and forcibly pushed him out of the meeting room.

Li Qi was not annoyed. He let Carol push him out, then turned around and used the Rubik's Cube to transform himself into a spider puppet. Controlled by silk threads, he drilled into the pipe above to eavesdrop.

The people inside didn't notice the spider puppet above their heads, or they probably didn't expect that Li Qi could use the Magic Cube in this way. Therefore, Li Qi heard what was happening in Rubino City.

Something strange has been happening in the city of Rubino recently.

Some people have clearly never been to the fog area, nor are they fog explorers who have signed a contract with the relics, but they have symptoms similar to fog backlash.

And the symptoms are quite serious, like the symptoms produced by a newcomer who has never been to the fog area, directly entering the second and third layers, and then returning to the safe zone.

There have been five cases of this phenomenon so far.

Three of them were in a coma, and although the other two were awakened, they could not say anything.

It seems like I have lost my memory of a period of time.

Maru judged that someone must be playing tricks in Rubino City, so he wanted to stay here to find out the truth.

As for the white sphere that is suspected to be a special-grade relic, other team members will escort it.

Malu wants to stay in the city to investigate the truth of the incident, and Carol also wants to stay with Richie for a while to cultivate their relationship.

So the two of them are going to stay here.

Not only that, what happens in the fog area also needs to be investigated by fog-level fog explorers.

The monsters that appeared in the fog area were not something that ordinary fog explorers could deal with.

At least for a Mist Explorer at the level of Thin Mist or Residual Mist, the chances of survival if they encounter that kind of multi-armed monster are slim.

This kind of thing happened on a floor that had been confirmed to be safe. This also needs to be investigated.

Several factors combined are the reason why Maru and Carol stay here.

"Something happened in the city?"

Listening to the conversation between Malu and Carol, Li Qi narrowed his eyes and thought.

Nothing had happened before, but after the exploration team came back, something like this happened...

Although it was just a guess, Li Qi always felt that something big was going to happen next.

"But at this time..."

Li Qi frowned and looked towards the foggy area.

For some reason, the things that happened in the city and the foggy area made him feel vaguely familiar.

It was as if... he was being watched by the world again.
