He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

There's a convenience store right next to the main entrance, with its rigid, bold lettering projected onto the wall above.

Behind the transparent glass of the convenience store, the counter is clearly visible, and a purple-eyed jelly-like figure is fiddling with strange little boxes behind the counter.

"Why would a convenience store cashier dig a tunnel in the store, meow?"

Li Ji tried to recall: "The boss wouldn't let him live in the shop, so he dug a tunnel to save on rent. Later, some residents didn't want to go downstairs or pay high delivery fees, so they would give him a small tip to deliver things upstairs. When I didn't go out for dozens of days, I would often have him deliver food and drinks. It was much cheaper than a delivery robot."

They glanced at the convenience store door; the security cameras on the door were of low quality and couldn't scan their biometrics, so they could pass through normally.

However, the beam of light from the security camera at the gate often scans the entrance, giving them only a brief moment to pass through the narrow gap.

Li Ke, a convenience store clerk in Residential Area 94, was fiddling with small toys behind the checkout counter, just like any other day.

It was a small black box with a string of strange symbols on it. It was a puzzle game with a small screen in the middle for inputting numbers.

Numbers have no range.

Next to the cashier, a life-size holographic poster was projected, featuring Li Ji, with a line of eye-catching red text next to him stating that he was wanted for 300 million Alliance Coins.

Li Ke, clutching the small black box in his hand, said to Li Ji, "I've been playing with this thing you left me for hundreds of days, and I still have no clue. Do you think the number might be your bounty?"

He entered 300 million, and the little black box emitted Li Ji's original voice: "Wrong! Idiot."

Li Ke chuckled: "You've insulted me 769,201 times."

The welcome bell rang at the door. He glanced at the entrance and said casually, "Welcome!"

A local man in green was standing on one side of the gate, waiting.

When the automatic door opened to its limit, the person suddenly turned to the side, shrinking their body to 30 centimeters, and carefully moved in.

But there was clearly plenty of space in front of him, and it seemed that if he moved forward even a little further, he would encounter some kind of invisible threat.

Although it's strange, such things are quite common on Barbaradu.

After all, everyone here is highly intelligent and might do all sorts of strange little experiments at any time, so Li Ke is used to it.

For example, before the wanted criminal was two years old, he would always come in hanging from the ceiling with his tentacles, buy different kinds of drinks, drink them all in one go in the store, and then hang out again.

Li Ke couldn't understand, so he asked him once. He said that he wanted to measure the difference in the adhesive force of the tentacles under different densities of his own body fluids.

There are countless similar bizarre things happening around the planet Barbaradu; the entire planet is essentially a giant scientific madhouse.

After this person came in, a cat moved in in the same way.

Li Ke's eyes darted around. He thought to himself: Interracial research? Interesting.

After the cat came in, another land shark moved in in the same way.

Li Ke put down the black box in his hand, leaned out from behind the cashier, and stared at Li Ji with his eyes wide open: "Sir, what kind of experiment are you conducting?"

"experiment?"

Li Ji immediately realized that Li Ke was a very curious person. Every time someone did an experiment in the supermarket, he would ask questions. Now that he thought about it, there seemed to be no problem. Did the original owner think that Li Ke was strange?

He offered a haphazard explanation: "We were testing the extensibility differences among the three races. It's just a personal hobby of mine, and these two tourists were willing to cooperate as a fun little game to enhance their travel experience."

"I see. It's a very interesting experiment, but there's a problem. You didn't use your full strength when you went through the doorway, and your body was only compressed to a thickness of 30cm, which didn't reach the human body's limit. This is a minor flaw in the experimental design."

Li Ke's pointed lips curled up slightly as a gesture of friendliness. Li Ji felt that this was very different from the Li Ke he remembered. The Li Ke in his memory was a guy who loved to mock and ridicule him, but now he seemed to be a reasonable and polite person.

Perhaps the original owner of this body had a lot of grudges with him.

"We won't delay your shopping any longer. We have all kinds of goods here, so please feel free to choose."

Lee Ki turned around and bumped right into himself.

He was so startled that he took a step back, only to realize that the thing that looked exactly like him was a holographic projection.

“Don’t panic. This is just a projection.” Li Ke used his tentacles to pass through the projection’s head. “We didn’t want to place it here either, but the police have mandated that projections of wanted criminals be displayed in various areas. This is his former residence, so it’s a key area of ​​focus.”

"What?! There's a wanted criminal here!" Delulu immediately shrank behind Li Ji, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with panic. "Is it dangerous? I wish I hadn't come here for tourism."

Li Ji was quite impressed with Dai Lulu's acting skills.

Li Ke explained, "You don't need to worry about that. The fugitive can't possibly come back here; the risk is too high. Rest assured, our planet's security is in the top 2% of the Alliance. Don't you agree?"

He gave Li Ji a look, and Li Ji tried his best to suppress his laughter: "That's right, if a fugitive returns to his own residence, isn't that just walking into a trap?"

Li Ke retreated back into the counter and continued to fiddle with the small black box.

Li Ji and Dai Lulu entered the convenience store and pretended to start shopping.

The layout here is the same as before.

Although it's called a convenience store, it's more like a department store, filled with various vending machines displaying different kinds of goods according to different categories.

Li Ke was called a cashier, but he had no cashier duties since he could remember. His main responsibilities were repairing vending machine malfunctions, restocking, and taking inventory.

The red vending machine was filled with various packaged foods. Li Ji immediately spotted the original owner's favorite "dark rainbow candy." This candy looked dark, but eating it would make your eyes blurry and allow you to see rainbows.

Delulu whispered to him, "Where's the tunnel? What should we do, meow?"

"The tunnel is right beneath Li Ke's feet. We need to turn off the surveillance here first. Hack into the camera in the corner through the network interface and change the shop's status to 'Closed for Repairs.' Li Ke used to often switch it to 'Closed' to take a couple of minutes off, and we'd play puzzle games together. Shark, when it's closed, the glass door will become opaque; take that opportunity to knock Li Ke unconscious. Where's Shark?"

Li Ji looked around and found that Sha Bao was fast asleep next to the cashier.

"It must have been your conversation about designing experiments that put him to sleep, meow."

"That guy is really something. I'll go wake him up."

Li Ji walked toward the cashier and suddenly heard his own voice coming from the other end.

"Wrong! You're an idiot."

He discovered that the sound was coming from the small box in Li Ke's hand.

"What is this?"

"This was a gift from a friend, a farewell present. Our way of getting along is just a bit unusual."

Looking at the box, Li Ji felt an unprecedented surge of excitement.

This box was completely out of his memory.

There must be a secret that the original owner wanted to hide. (End of Chapter)
