My Endless Life.

Chapter 490 Score-Brushing Task
Milia was not a talkative girl. After getting to know Li Qi, she didn't say anything.

The same was true for Li Qi. After several people rented a spaceship and set off into the star orbit, Li Qi began looking for Milia's information.

The result of this investigation surprised Li Qi a little.

The opponent turned out to be the third in the mecha area.

"That's pretty impressive, Shen Cong. You actually managed to trick such a powerful mecha master here."

Knowing Milia's strength, Li Qi said to Shen Cong with a little admiration.

Listening to Li Qi's joke, Shen Cong said helplessly:

"I didn't trick you into coming here. It's just... we already knew each other."

"Oh?"

"We are from the same school, although not in the same class...but she is indeed an excellent student in our school."

Shen Cong explained to Li Qi in a low voice.

Li Qi then realized that Shen Cong and Milia were from the same university, but compared to Milia, who was the hope of the whole school at that time, Shen Cong was a slightly more outstanding little unknown.

If it weren't for the "friendship" of being in the same school, and if Shen Cong hadn't used Li Qi's identity to gain publicity, Milia would not have joined this team.

In other words, it is not so much Shen Cong who is capable, but Li Qi who is capable. Milia actually agreed to let Shen Cong join this temporary team without even meeting him.

Perhaps sensing Li Qi's doubts, Milia said in a cold voice:
"I have watched your battle videos and have also discussed your strength with Shen Cong. According to my judgment, you are at least in the top 50 among the new students in the two departments. Teaming up with you will increase my efficiency in completing tasks and earning credits."

"I see."

Milia's analysis was very reasonable, and Li Qi nodded slowly.

It seems that not only is Milia's body mechanical, but her way of thinking is also gradually becoming similar to that of machines.

Efficiency comes first? Not bad...

Li Qi originally thought so, but Milia's next words made Li Qi speechless.

Milia said: "And you are very pleasing to the eyes. According to the information, looking at beautiful things often is good for physical and mental health."

Li Qi: "..."

"Ah...Don't mind it, Kiri-san! She's just like that, she means no harm!"

Before Li Qi could say anything, Shen Cong quickly spoke up to apologize to Li Qi.

Li Qi rolled his eyes slightly, pointed at his face, and then asked Milia:

"Me? Beautiful? Are you sure I am even remotely related to this word?"

Li Qi's facial features have become ordinary after minor adjustments, and it can be seen that they are natural and not the result of special surgery.

The skin looks a little dark, as if one often sunbathes on the beach and has too much melanin deposited.

In order to make himself look ordinary but not ugly enough to attract attention, Li Qi spent a long time in front of the mirror making fine adjustments.

I really don't know how Milia can see "beauty" in his face.

However, what Li Qi didn't expect was that Milia actually answered seriously:
"Yes, although your appearance may seem ordinary, it is very comfortable when put together. At least in my eyes, you are beautiful compared to others who have had dozens of surgeries on their faces."

"..." Li Qi was silent.

Shen Cong looked as if he had seen clearly who Milia was for the first time, staring with disbelief and said:

"Wow... I didn't expect you to have this skill."

This is a sweet talk for chasing a boy! How come Shen Cong didn't realize that Milia was such a person before?

Wait, could it be that Kiri-san was moved by these words?
Shen Cong looked at Li Qi carefully, but saw that Li Qi said nothing. Instead, he looked at Milia deeply.

After a long time, Shen Cong heard Li Qi ask her:
"…You…think so, too?"

"Ah? Ah! Yes, yes, that's what I thought too!"

Hearing this life-threatening question asked by Li Qi, Shen Cong nodded repeatedly. He thought he could make Li Qi happy, but he saw the other party's rolling eyes.

"Forget it. It's pointless to ask you. I'll take a rest first. Call me when you get here."

After Li Qi finished speaking, he closed his eyes and tilted his head to the side, looking like he was asleep.

But in fact, Li Qi was thinking back to himself about the reactions of those people he met in disguise.

Li Qi originally thought that the reason why this group of people would pursue him was because there were few boys, so for some girls, they were willing to pursue him even if Li Qi was not good-looking.

But now...

What Li Qi thought was "ugly" might be something else in their eyes.

...So my added value in this life is indeed charm?
But isn’t this ability incompatible with the ability system of this life... ?
Li Qi fell into deep thought as he recalled his previous talents.

Because the first life was a world of music, it gave Li Qi a keen hearing that made it easy for him to learn music.

His second life was a world of gamblers, which gave him the ability to distinguish the physical conditions of other gamblers and thus analyze the enemy's capabilities.

There is no need to say much about the magical talents in the magic world. The multiple relic signings in the foggy world are also related to the system of the current world.

The creation of martial arts techniques in the martial arts world, the player system in the doomsday world...

It can be seen from these worlds that talents change according to the environment of the current world.

So, can charm help me cultivate my consciousness? Or can it help me control machinery and mecha?

No... I can't be sure so early. Maybe this talent is just a gift from the Sarnak family, not mine...

There is no talent displayed on the panel, and unlike in other worlds, I cannot have a special feeling about the talent in this life and instantly understand what the talent is.

Li Qi could only guess about his talents in this life, so he would think about this aspect from time to time.

"Kiri-san? We're here."

When Li Qi closed his eyes and thought, he felt Shen Cong gently shaking his body with his hand.

He opened his eyes and looked outside.

The spaceship was already falling towards the planet below, and outside the window the only thing that could be seen was the fire produced by the spaceship falling into the atmosphere.

This proves that they have arrived at the target planet and are now landing.

……

Academy Galaxy·Mining Star.

It is a planet near the edge of the Academy Galaxy.

This planet originally did not have any life or the conditions for the production of life.

But in this universe, as long as the environment of a planet is not particularly harsh, any planet can become a habitable planet through planetary transformation equipment.

This mining planet is such a case.

After being transformed by the planet transformation device, this planet has an atmosphere, green mountains and clear waters, and some mining families who have moved here.

Originally, these mining families were sent by the federal government and had absolute rights to mine and sell minerals here, so they lived a pretty good life here.

However, something unexpected has happened here in recent years.

No one knows who released the self-reproducing mechanical beasts on the planet. These mechanical beasts would attack the mines every now and then. The mining mechas on the planet could only barely defend themselves. There was even a mine and a family of miners who died in that "beast tide".

The federation sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find the breeding base of the mechanical beasts.

There was no other way, the miners could only pay to hire high-level mechanics and mecha masters to come over every now and then to help deal with these mechanical beasts.

This is especially true when the ore is being filled and handed over.

Those mechanical beasts seemed to have intelligence, and they would launch sneak attacks every time the ore was handed over.

So at this time, we need the protection of the strong.

"You guys are here!"

At the mine, an old lady driving a second-order mining mecha jumped out of the mecha and said to the three people who had arrived.

This middle-aged woman has an oriental face and a plump figure. Her exposed arms are full of muscles. She looks like someone who is not someone to be trifled with.

But even so, the aunt was relieved when she saw Li Qi and others.

Neither Li Qi nor Milia spoke. Shen Cong, as the negotiator, walked to the front and showed the student IDs of his group to the aunt, then asked:
"Have you started transporting? I saw some mechanical beasts gathering nearby."

"Almost. The ore we mined is ready. We can just wait for you to come and transport it to the transport ship..."

The ore collected from this mining planet is one of the main materials for making mecha energy cores, and therefore the ore carries some special energy.

And it is these special energies that attract the mechanical beasts that suddenly appear on this planet.

The Academy Star and the mine have also thought of a solution for this, which is to create a storage device that isolates energy and rely on this method to avoid the perception of the mechanical beasts.

But this approach was both successful and unsuccessful.

It is said to be successful because that special isolation device can indeed weaken most of the energy fluctuations.

But it is impossible to block it completely, and some information will leak out anyway.

Of course, if a large number of shielding devices are placed at all costs, it is not impossible to completely block the dissipated energy.

But in that case, while transporting the minerals, it would be necessary to carry almost half of the spacecraft's shielding equipment, which would be a waste of time.

After all, the fuel consumption for a transport spacecraft to set sail is not small. If the consumption of a round trip is greater than the profit obtained from recycling the ore, then this transportation is a complete loss-making business.

If we have to do this every time, we might as well give up this mining planet temporarily and think of a solution later.

So the miners on the mining planet came up with another solution.

Build large underground warehouses and fill them with shielding devices.

The ore that is normally mined is placed there to prevent mechanical beasts from forming a beast tide to attack the mine. Once it is time to transport it, strong people are asked to escort it and ask the invited people to help block the possible beast tide.

It was precisely because of this that the old lady waited for Li Qi and his party to arrive before starting to transport the ore to the transport spacecraft.

"I understand. Then leave this mine to us."

Shen Cong spoke to the aunt on behalf of the team.

Li Qi and Milia had no objections. Both of them were practical people and preferred to do things first rather than talk.

While Shen Cong was talking to the aunt, they were selecting suitable machinery and mechas.

Now they are ready.
