My Endless Life.

Chapter 406 Another Transaction

Li Qi didn't know how to comment on this decision made by Bureau 057.

He had heard before that the 057th Bureau was indeed preparing a similar youth class to provide special training and development.

But after the end of the world, Li Qi once thought that the plan was terminated by the upper level.

We have already entered the doomsday era. Wouldn't it be a waste of resources to continue training and developing slowly?

No matter what kind of training or cultivation, Li Qi can ensure that no matter who it is, they can quickly grow into an excellent "warrior" by going to the front line to fight the pollution one-on-one and deal with the pollution themselves.

But now it seems that the ideas of the upper echelons are obviously different from Li Qi's.

Despite the current shortage of manpower, the top management still plans to train the next generation step by step.

Li Qi could understand some of the ideas of the upper class, but... although he understood, he didn't want to play house with a group of children.

"I am not interested in any junior class, nor do I plan to join one. Director Li, please find someone else."

Li Qi decisively refused.

Director Li was not angry, and said with a smile:
"Don't refuse so quickly. If you have any conditions, you can tell me and we can talk slowly."

"I don't have any conditions. I'm just not interested in this matter."

Li Qi's refusal made the atmosphere at the scene a little awkward. Director Li was silent for a moment, then opened another candy and threw it into his mouth.

He didn't say anything else, but his eyes fell on Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong sighed when he saw this, and turned to Li Qi and said:
"Xiao An, I remember you seemed very interested in ancient monuments?"

"Ok?"

Speaking of ancient relics, Li Qi became interested and turned to look at Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong said seriously:
“Pollution is increasing, and the source of it all lies in the ancient monuments around the world, so the higher-ups are now preparing to organize a team to explore the ancient monuments in China and try to curb the spread of domestic pollution first.

"So if you are willing to lead this class, when it graduates, Director Li and I will recommend you to join the exploration team."

“Just a recommendation?”

Li Qi glanced at Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong was stunned, turned his head and looked at Director Li, both of them could see the helplessness of the other.

Director Li smiled and said, "You are too smart, okay, not just a recommendation, we guarantee that you will join the exploration team, are you satisfied?"

Exploring ancient monuments is also an important thing that the upper level is preparing.

Anyone who has some understanding of the current changes in the world knows very well why the world has become like this. The source of everything lies in the ancient monuments.

Some people from the Ancient Monuments Society accidentally broke the seal of an ancient monument, which triggered a chain reaction and led to the occurrence of the Dark Day.

During this period, the major forces in the world have thought about preventing the arrival of the end of the world, but as the prophecy says, the day of darkness is irreversible. After twelve days of darkness, the end of the world will come.

The end of the world has arrived as expected, but no one wants the world to be in vain forever.

After experiencing the initial pain of doomsday, major countries began to prepare to establish ancient ruins exploration teams, intending to go deep into the ancient ruins again to find a way to end the doomsday.

Given Li Qi's current status and age, he is actually not qualified to join the national exploration team.

But everything can be compromised and negotiated. If Li Qi is willing to help and manage those naughty kids, then Director Li and his men can use their authority to insert Li Qi into the team.

After all, the reason they rejected Li Qi was not because of Li Qi's strength.

But because of age.

Being young means being disobedient and in need of protection, and the exploration team is made up of a group of elites. To put it bluntly, they are actually a group of 'death squads' who may not come back.

No one wants to take care of a child, and no one wants to see unknown variables arise because of the child's exploration.

But if Li Qi can show a maturity far beyond his age in front of the higher-ups, then even if Director Li forcibly inserts him into the exploration team, the higher-ups probably won't say anything.

Coincidentally, Li Qi also wanted to visit the ancient monuments.

Because ancient monuments are the origin of all special abilities in this world, Li Qi wants to know where these abilities come from.

Only after understanding these problems can he continue to improve his power system and have a better starting point in the next world.

Li Qi seriously thought about the pros and cons of this matter. After a while, he looked up and said to the two people in front of him:
"If you can really let me join the exploration team to explore the ancient ruins, then I can agree to it, but I have a condition."

"You go ahead." Director Li nodded slightly.

"The training period cannot be too long. I will only be the 'king of children' for one year. After one year, I will follow the exploration team to explore the ancient sites."

Director Li thought for a second before continuing:
"Then you have to make sure that the people you manage meet the 'graduation standards' we set. Otherwise, if you just muddle through a year, wouldn't we be at a big loss?"

"Of course, I will definitely complete my own work, you can rest assured about that."

"Besides this, do you have any other conditions?"

"Yes, I will write a list for you later. If you can accept all of them, I am willing to be the leader of the children."

Li Qi said calmly.

Neither Director Li nor Zhao Hong had much objection to this.

When negotiating a deal, it's normal to have a give-and-take. Anyway, as long as Li Qi is willing to agree, then the matter can be discussed.

As for how far the discussion can go in the end, it all depends on how eloquent Director Li and his colleagues are.

After discussing the serious matters, it’s time to chat about family matters.

Director Li seemed to want to have a good chat with Li Qi and develop some relationship with him, but was rejected by Li Qi.

In the end, the few people did not continue to chat, and Zhao Hong took Li Qi to another room to rest. The previous room was no longer suitable for living because the door was smashed and the walls of the surrounding rooms were shattered by the fight between Li Qi and the strong man. Zhao Hong needed to arrange a new room for Li Qi.

"You were a little too impulsive today."

On the way, Zhao Hong said to Li Qi.

Li Qi's expression remained unchanged: "Impulsive? Really?"

"You shouldn't have just done it."

Zhao Hong was referring to the incident in which Li Qi beat up Qi Zhijian.

"He came to cause trouble for me first, and then I can't do anything? What kind of logic is this?"

Li Qi asked back.

Zhao Hongdao: "Although this is the case, he is an official member of the 057 Bureau, and you... the higher-ups are still observing you. Your actions today will lower their evaluation of you..."

"Is this important?" Li Qi stopped and looked at Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong also stopped and looked at Li Qi with a little surprise.

Li Qi continued:
"You seem to have made a mistake."

"what?"

“I don’t care what the higher-ups think of me, and I don’t care what they think of me. I will stay in Bureau 057 now only because there are things that interest me here, not because I need Bureau 057 as a backer.

"In fact, I never need Bureau 057 to do anything for me. If I want, I can leave here at any time, and you will never be able to find me."

To be more precise, Zhao Hong needs Li Qi to stay in Bureau 057 to satisfy his guilt towards Zhang Fengyun.

Li Qi stayed in Bureau 057 because of this relationship.

Of course, the information about ancient monuments and strange objects from Bureau 057 is also one of the reasons why Li Qi stayed here.

But these things are not absolute.

There is nothing in this world that can trap him, at least not for now. As long as he wants, he can return to the Dream Town and live out his life there.

What does the world have to do with him?

Li Qi had already expressed his attitude. Zhao Hong was speechless for a moment and did not speak to Li Qi.

The two were walking in the corridor, and suddenly Li Qi heard Qi Zhijian shouting:

"Let me out! I want to fight that guy! Let me go! Let me have a good fight!!!"

The voice came from a room nearby. Li Qi looked over and saw a sign saying "Infirmary (temporary)".

Along with Qi Zhijian's shouting and the nurse's dissuasion:

"Don't move! Your wound hasn't healed yet! I told you not to move!"

"Don't mind me! I want to fight that brat! Meng An! Come out and fight me!!"

Qi Zhijian was shouting there.

Hearing Li Qi's mouth twitching, he looked at Zhao Hong:
"Isn't this guy a fool?"

Zhao Hong explained helplessly: "I have said before that the price of his rare item will make him irritable and warlike... well, he will also become stubborn, so..."

"What kind of wonder is he?"

"[Barbarian Blood], like Xie Yan in your team, a consumable item. It is said that it was obtained from abroad."

The strange item [Barbarian's Blood] is a red viscous liquid sealed in a special bowl.

The shape of the bowl is very old-fashioned, with patterns of mammoths and some ferocious beasts engraved on it. The mouth of the bowl is not sealed, but the strange thing is that no matter how it is moved, the red viscous liquid inside will not spill out.

It was not until Qi Zhijian drank it in one gulp that everyone knew how to use this strange thing.

After the blood is drunk, the container containing the blood will shatter into powder, and the person who drinks the blood will be given special abilities.

Strength, stamina, endurance, and recovery ability will be significantly enhanced. They will have animal-like hearing and sense of smell, as well as the intuition of wild beasts.

But the price is that the IQ will drop to a certain extent, and the person will become irritable and warlike, preferring to fight with the strong, and cannot stand the "weak" hiding behind.

It is precisely because of this that Qi Zhijian went to cause trouble for Li Qi.

Because before this, Li Qi was considered a "weakling" in Qi Zhijian's eyes.

After listening to Zhao Hong's explanation, Li Qi nodded slightly, and then, under Zhao Hong's shocked gaze, walked into the infirmary where Qi Zhijian was.

"Meng An! Hahaha! You're here! Okay, come and fight!! Come...!"

As soon as Qi Zhijian saw Li Qi, he laughed heartily.

But the laughter only lasted for a moment. When he met Li Qi's eyes, he rolled his eyes and fell backwards, falling asleep like a baby.

The noisy and rough man fell asleep just like that. The nurse and Zhao Hong in the medical room looked at Li Qi in surprise.

"Look at what I'm doing. You know I have spiritual items."

Li Qi glanced at Zhao Hong, without even looking at the female nurse next to Zhao Zhijian. He walked straight to Zhao Zhijian, raised his right hand, and his fingertips turned into a needle, which he stabbed into Zhao Zhijian's body.

As soon as the needle was inserted, Li Qi took it back.

In just a moment of contact, Li Qi had already drawn a tube of Zhao Zhijian's blood.

This was the reason why he came to the infirmary.
