My Endless Life.

Chapter 501 The Royal Family Came to Visit
Milia is not an impulsive person.

She transformed her body into a semi-mechanical one, and everything was determined by data. How could she rush out alone to die in wartime?

The real reason she ran away that day was because of this inexplicable call.

It was precisely because of this inexplicable call that Milia found the special individual among the mechanical beasts.

In other words...

Her chip manufacturer is likely related to the mechanical beasts, and may even be the same one used by the mechanical beasts!
"I… wanted to tell you, but… I was worried that you would report me, so I didn't say it."

Milia finally said.

Using black chips is illegal in itself, and the academy can turn a blind eye to it. However, if this chip is related to the mechanical beasts that are wreaking havoc on the mining planet, the school cannot really turn a blind eye.

More importantly, Millia's identity is very ordinary and common. She has no extraordinary talents, nor any background that would make people wary. Once either Li Qi or Shen Cong has any evil intentions and reports them to the academy, Millia may not only be kicked out of the academy, but may also be arrested by the security team.

It was for this reason that she would rather quit the team and lose the academy evaluation points than explain the situation.

"Then why do you dare to say it now?" Li Qi asked puzzledly, while glancing at Shen Cong.

He didn't think Shen Cong had such great magic power to make Milia explain the situation.

wrong!

As soon as Li Qi thought of this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Shen Cong might not have such great magic power, but I might not...

Sure enough, as soon as he asked the question, Milia looked up at Li Qi:
“…Because classmate Shen Cong told me to trust you, so I came here.”

"You just believe me?"

"My instinct tells me that you won't report me..."

"You rely on data analysis, why are you relying on intuition again?"

"..."

Milia was stumped by Li Qi's question, but she just didn't answer.

Li Qi knew that it must be his inexplicable talent that played a role, so he did not continue to ask, but instead thought about Milia's situation.

As for reporting, Li Qi definitely won't do it.

The main reason is that reporting it would be very troublesome and would offend people. He had no grudge against Milia, so there was no need to risk being targeted by others by reporting her.

But continuing to form a team doesn't seem to be a good idea.

The chip in Milia's mind is related to the mining robot beast, and the mining robot beast is something that was placed in the mining star by someone. God knows whether the mastermind behind the scenes will control Milia in the future.

Unless... Milia can replace the chip in her brain.

But Li Qi is not a kind-hearted man who will release his kindness at will. He can help Milia, but only if Milia can pay enough.

An equal exchange.

After thinking about various issues in his mind, Li Qi finally made a decision.

"Milia, I can let you stay in the team and even help replace the three-no chip in your head, but... you should know that there is no free lunch in this world."

Milia didn't expect Li Qi to say that, but when she heard that her chip could be replaced, she didn't hesitate and asked immediately:

"What do you need me to do, Kiri-san?"

"It's very simple." Li Qi stood up and drew a consciousness contract in front of Milia: "From today until graduation, you have to listen to me. In other words..."

Li Qi smiled kindly and said, "I want you to be my servant."

This is exactly what Li Qi wanted, a free labor force that he could use at his own will.

……

For a period of time afterwards, Li Qi didn't encounter any trouble.

Li Qi registered with the security team, reported to school as usual, and then went on missions with the team on weekends to earn credits. Suddenly, Li Qi's life entered a rare peaceful period.

It would be a good thing if life could remain peaceful like this forever.

But as time went on, new troubles began to gather around Li Qi.

He was being targeted.

It's not quite appropriate to say that he was being 'targeted'; it would be more accurate to say that he was being pursued.

I don’t know who was so bored that he made a ranking list of the most handsome boys in school. In addition to the overall list, each department has a separate list, and Li Qi’s name is on the list of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Li Qi was also helpless about this.

He had tried to keep a low profile, and his appearance was adjusted to be ordinary, but in the end, he was put on this boring list by a busybody, and then attracted a lot of girls. And there was a troublesome guy among them, and the person who targeted Li Qi was also that troublesome guy.

Her name is Grayle Morrison, and she is the daughter of the director of Morrison Interstellar Group in the Republic of Lanton, one of the five major countries in the Federation.

This identity is equivalent to that of a marquis' daughter with a hereditary title in the empire. She is extremely noble in the Federation. At least on this academy planet, few people can compete with her in status.

Li Qi didn't want to get into trouble, so he had been trying to avoid her, but every time this guy would appear next to Li Qi by "coincidence", either in the same classroom or doing the same task, which made Li Qi very annoyed.

Of course this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is...

"Get lost, commoner. Who allowed you to get close to Kiri-san?"

"Oh? I don't know when did my Weber family become a poor family?"

Before class, Grayer, who had blonde hair and blue eyes and curly hair, and Zoe, who had long pink hair with curls at the ends, started arguing again.

The two of them stood on Li Qi's left and right sides respectively, and their eyes revealed disdain and ferocity in each other's eyes. Even if they started fighting in the next second, the people around them would not be surprised at all.

But compared to these two people, Li Qi, who was sitting between them, was the one who was really uncomfortable.

Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, Li Qi finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He slammed his hands heavily on the table, using the loud noise to cover up the sound of the two people arguing, then raised his head and glanced at the two of them indifferently, and said:

"If you want to quarrel or fight, leave here and fight in the battle room. Don't quarrel around me! Besides, Zoe and Gray, I've told you before that I have no interest in you and I hate you being around me. Have you forgotten?"

Li Qi did not conceal the disgust and alienation in his tone and eyes.

Logically speaking, if this wasn't a school, and if the identities of these two women weren't so noble, Li Qi would have secretly made them disappear from the face of the earth long ago, given their persistence. Why would he wait until now?

Li Qi also couldn’t understand. Is there something wrong with the brains of these two women?

He had already expressed his disgust so clearly, and even revealed his murderous intent towards these two people, but these two people still liked to stick to him.

Are they crazy?
Do you like being abused so much? Do you like being looked at with disgust and disdain?

Really sick!

Li Qi couldn't stand it a bit. He even thought about whether he should find a way to skip a grade. Anyway, his consciousness had reached the fourth level. As long as he could keep up with the academic subjects, skipping to the second grade seemed to be no problem.

But this matter needs to be considered carefully...

Li Qi's words seemed to have a strange magic. After he expressed his dissatisfaction and anger, Zoe and Grey'er actually became quiet in tacit understanding.

The two glared at each other, then sat on the left and right sides of Li Qi. Until the class started, neither of them said anything about disturbing Li Qi again, and they quietly followed Li Qi to class.

Apart from occasionally stealing a glance at Li Qi's profile during class, they actually managed to remain quiet throughout the entire class.

But even if it was just a 'peek', there was a difference between the two of them.

Zoe would glance at him from the corner of her eyes from time to time, but Greer...rather than peeking, she looked straight at him openly, but every time when Li Qi looked at her, she quickly looked away.

Seeing Grayer's appearance, Zoe's eyes flashed with some deep thought.

If her pursuit of Li Qi could be considered as lust for beauty, then Grey's pursuit of Li Qi was completely based on family orders.

Because now everyone knows that behind Li Qi stands a federal congressman and an old capital group that is still quite powerful in the federation.

In fact, Zoe was also surprised by this. She didn't expect that the little cutie she casually fell in love with actually had such a big background.

You have to know that the combined power of these backgrounds is far stronger than the Weber family behind Zoe.

After all, the Weber family is just a top family in the magic kingdom. Although it is relatively famous in the Federation, it can only be considered a first-class force in the entire Federation.

However, whether it is Li Qi’s uncle, the congressman, or the old capital that supports Li Qi, they are all first-class forces among first-class forces.

According to the aristocratic system of the empire, the Weber family can only be regarded as an ordinary marquis family, but behind Li Qi stand two marquis families with hereditary titles!
That's why Grey'er keeps circling around Li Qi.

The appearance of Greer disrupted Zoe's plan and forced her to give up the boiling frog method to pursue Li Qi. Instead, she followed Greer's example and stuck to Li Qi.

Of course Zoe knew that doing so would make Li Qi dislike her, but it didn’t matter. As long as Li Qi hated Greer as well, she would win!
Besides, hate and like can be easily converted into each other. Zoe is confident that she can turn Li Qi's hate for her into like for her in the future!
As long as Zoe finds a way to eliminate Grayer, she can proceed to the next step.

No, there is no need to even eliminate Greer. As long as Zoe seizes the opportunity of the secret realm test that takes place once every three years, she is confident that she can make Li Qi fall in love with her.

Making future plans in her mind, Zoe prepared to take advantage of the break to talk to Li Qi about the secret realm test.

But what Zoe didn't expect, and even Grayer didn't expect, was.

This compulsory course had just ended when another woman came to Li Qi.

And the person who came to him this time was not from the Federation, but an exchange student from the Empire!
Zoe remembered that her name seemed to be Ephisia Varenna...

Wait, the last name ‘Varenna’… seems to be the royal family of the empire?
Thinking of this, Zoe's expression became strange.
