My Endless Life.

Chapter 341 Sun Xiaoqing, Strange Item
The seven-day quarantine period passed in a flash. After Li Qi came out of the quarantine hotel, he was taken home by Liu Cheng.

During this period, Zhao Chenghu had talked to Liu Cheng, mainly discussing Li Qi's affairs, but Liu Cheng just brushed it off.

However, Liu Cheng was unable to get any useful information from Zhao Chenghu. Zhao Chenghu kept his mouth shut and really would not reveal any information.

But this doesn't matter to Li Qi. As long as no one comes to disturb him in the few months before the end of the world, Li Qi can't care about anything else.

The satellite phone handed over to the technical department was taken back by Liu Cheng after it was confirmed that it could not be repaired. Li Qi carefully put it in an iron box purchased online, intending to try to repair the satellite phone when the repair technology can be used in the future.

After completing all this, Li Qicai and Liu Cheng went to complete the guardianship procedures.

Normally, Liu Cheng is not qualified to be Li Qi's guardian, but there is no other way. Liu Cheng is the captain of the city's criminal investigation brigade and he has his own connections.

"Abuse of power for personal gain."

Li Qi said to Liu Cheng half-jokingly.

Liu Cheng smiled and responded, "I wouldn't have done that before, but since the end of the world is likely to come, my identity probably won't be of much use in the future, so I might as well use up my connections before that happens."

These are not the only places where Liu Cheng uses up his connections.

He chose a single-family villa with a basement and a small warehouse, and "rented" it for just over one million yuan. He also had people set up metal fences and iron gates around the villa, as well as necessary security facilities, to ensure that the villa would have a certain degree of self-protection capabilities after the end of the world.

At the same time, he also asked someone to buy a large amount of food with a very long shelf life and some daily necessities at wholesale prices.

Many people thought Liu Cheng was crazy after knowing what he did.

But Liu Cheng now has unconditional faith in Li Qi. Since Li Qi said that doomsday might come, he must make adequate preparations for it.

What Liu Cheng didn’t know was whether the end of the world would come, and Li Qi couldn’t be sure either.

He was just judging that the end of the world might be coming based on his intuition and his sense of the world's atmosphere.

So there is a possibility that Li Qi guessed wrong.

But regardless of whether the doomsday will come or not, since we have already prepared to this extent, we can’t just not do it.

Liu Cheng continued to prepare according to Li Qi's requirements, while Li Qi began to purchase materials for making the doll online.

He planned to make a few puppets for himself to serve as backup bodies.

In the last few years of his previous life, Li Qi had mastered the technique of using puppets as clones. The 'Li Qi' who stayed in the Li family at that time was his clone.

The clone possesses some of Li Qi's thinking abilities, and can be taken over by Li Qi at any time.

If the doomsday really comes in the future, Li Qi may be able to use his puppet clone to wander around, while his real body stays at home, which would be safer.

In his previous life, Li Qi had already simplified the materials for making the dolls.

If you don't pursue the strength of the doll, ordinary materials can be used to make the prototype of the doll. After that, you just need to solve the energy problem and the doll can move.

"In this life, we can change the energy source of the puppets into batteries. Unfortunately, this world does not have nuclear fusion technology. Otherwise, we could find a way to get nuclear fusion technology here for reference."

Li Qi pondered secretly.

The energy source of the puppets that Li Qi made in his previous life was the [Energy Magic] talisman transformed from the spiritual stone, which served as the energy core.

What is essentially needed is the vitality of heaven and earth, as well as the energy that Li Qi inputs into it.

Later, after the vitality of heaven and earth disappeared, Li Qi tried to build an internal energy channel similar to the magic channel in the puppet's body.

With the spiritual stone as the core, the other energy absorbed is converted into internal energy, which eventually makes the puppet move.

There is no special power in this world at present. Li Qi is not sure whether he can successfully cultivate internal energy, so he chooses to use electricity as the core energy source.

If you just choose to use batteries as the energy core, the doll will need to replace the batteries frequently to ensure its own operation.

Li Qi also needs to find a way to charge the battery.

Make puppets, improve puppets, renovate basements, and continue to make money...

These work projects filled Li Qi's daily life and kept him extremely busy for the next month.

If it weren't for the fact that they had to report to the Child Protection Association once a month, Li Qi probably wouldn't go out.

“…Can’t you use your connections to stop them from always calling us over?”

Li Qi, who came out of the Children's Protection Association, said to Liu Cheng with deadly intent.

Liu Cheng said helplessly:

"We're not from the same department, so even if I have connections, I can't use them."

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

Li Qi curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Li Qi has experienced many times that mental will can be affected by the body.

So now Li Qi would occasionally show the impatience of a child. This was his nature, and he had no intention of suppressing it.

Seeing that Li Qi seemed dissatisfied, Liu Cheng pointed to the mall nearby and said:

"Well, it's a rare opportunity for us to come out, let's eat something, what do you want to eat?"

"I don't care... Yeah, fast food, KFC or McDonald's is fine."

Li Qi originally wanted to eat nothing, but when he noticed the fast food restaurant in the mall, he immediately changed his mind.

Over three lifetimes and more than two hundred years, Li Qi had never eaten anything good.

Not to mention the magical world, whether it is Uno or England, their food is only slightly better than British food.

There is a shortage of supplies in the foggy world, and there are few delicious foods.

There are a lot of delicious food in the world of martial arts, but there aren’t too many irritating spices. Most of them have a light taste and become boring after eating them for a long time.

It was only in the later period when the Dayu Dynasty started its industrial system and conquered the world to plunder its wealth that Li Qi was able to barely eat food of close to modern quality.

But he didn't enjoy it for long, as Li Qi's time was running out. In order to practice the Immortal Heart Sutra in this life, he mostly ate energy bars that were rich in various energies. The taste was the same every day, and his mouth was almost bland.

Li Qi certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to eat some 'junk food'.

"Fast food... that's fine too."

Liu Cheng wanted to say that you shouldn't eat junk food at such a young age, but when he thought that Li Qi was not an ordinary child, he changed his mind and asked:

"What else do you want to eat besides fast food?"

"Buy me some ice cream, buy more. Oh, and remember to buy some ice cream and desserts when you go shopping next time, so you don't have to miss out on them later."

“…Alright.”

Liu Cheng was speechless for a long time after hearing this before he responded.

The two of them walked all the way to the fast food restaurant in the store. Liu Cheng went to the front desk to order food, while Li Qi continued to browse the web on his mobile phone.

However, just as Li Qi took out his cell phone, someone sat down opposite him.

A woman wearing a red leather jacket and sunglasses.

Li Qi looked up with a slightly surprised look:

"Ms. Sun?"

"Call my sister."

Sun Xiaoqing, who was sitting opposite Li Qi, responded with a smile.

That’s right, the person sitting opposite Li Qi at this moment was the woman who once played mahjong with Li Qi in the underground casino, Sun Xiaoqing.

Li Qi thought he would never see her again, but who would have thought that she would appear here.

Even judging from her appearance, it was very likely that she came here specifically to find him.

After looking at Sun Xiaoqing for a few more times, Li Qi lowered his head to play with his phone again and said:
"Okay, Aunt Sun."

"...You little brat are really unlovable."

Sun Xiaoqing took off her sunglasses and rolled her eyes at Li Qi, then suddenly took out a deck of cards, placed them on the table and said:
"Kid, you seem to be pretty good at playing cards? Do you want to play a few hands now?"

The playing cards had just been opened and still had the smell of new cards.

Sun Xiaoqing said, spreading the playing cards evenly with her right hand, then pointed at the deck and said:

"Let's play a game of comparing the size of the coin. Ace is the smallest and King is the largest. The loser has to answer a question from the winner. How about it? Do you want to play?"

Hearing this, Li Qi put down his phone again and looked up at Sun Xiaoqing:

"You came all the way from Aoshi to Suhe just to play cards with a kid like me?"

"You are not an ordinary child."

Sun Xiaoqing said meaningfully: "I have watched the video of that day repeatedly. In fact, the one who was really gambling was you, not Wang He beside you. Wang He was just your puppet, am I right?"

"so what?"

"So... I thought I could get in touch with you and tell you what you want to know."

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you can't answer what I want to know."

Li Qi didn't think Sun Xiaoqing had any questions that he wanted to know, and he didn't care much about it.

However, Sun Xiaoqing's next sentence made Li Qi raise his head instantly.

"Don't you want to know why Sun Fengyun died?"

Sun Xiaoqing said lightly.

Li Qi's gaze had already pierced into Sun Xiaoqing's mind like a sharp sword.

Just at the moment when she made eye contact with Li Qi, Sun Xiaoqing felt cold all over, and her body felt as heavy as if a huge burden was pressing on her.

At this moment, Sun Xiaoqing felt that the other party seemed to see through all her thoughts. He had a pair of captivating eyes that looked her body inside and out.

If Sun Xiaoqing hadn't experienced a lot, she would probably have collapsed to the ground in fear at this moment.

But even so, Sun Xiaoqing felt her body go weak, her legs were shaking, and her back was covered in cold sweat.

This feeling disappeared only when Li Qi looked away.

When she withdrew her gaze, Sun Xiaoqing immediately placed her hands on the table, barely supporting her body, and looked up at Li Qi in horror.

She had thought that Li Qi was no simple man, but Sun Xiaoqing had never thought that he could make her so embarrassed with just a look.

After recovering a little, she asked in astonishment:

"You... have a [strange item]?"

Li Qi did not answer. His eyes had already left Sun Xiaoqing and fell on the deck of cards on the table.

Reaching out his hand, Li Qi took a whole deck of cards in his hand like a magician, and then spread them out on the table.

Sun Xiaoqing was startled when she saw this.

By just picking up and putting down the cards, Li Qi had already messed up the order of the cards in the deck!

Even Sun Xiaoqing could only barely distinguish the patterns on the back of a few playing cards that she had memorized in advance, and she couldn't even distinguish the rest!
This kid not only has a scary look in his eyes, but his cheating skills are also extremely outrageous!

"You want to play cards, don't you? Then I'll play with you. Just as you said, one win, one question. First... let's start with what a 'strange item' is."

Li Qi said calmly, stretching out his fingers and pulling out a card.

He didn't look at the cards, and neither did Sun Xiaoqing, but at this moment both of them were absolutely certain that Sun Xiaoqing had lost.
