The waiter brought Li Ze twelve dishes, as well as some juice and fine wine.
"If you need anything else, just press the bell and I'll come right away," the shop assistant said warmly.
Li Ze nodded. "Okay."
Aside from the overly enthusiastic staff, the food at this restaurant was quite good. He didn't touch any alcohol, as Liu Yanzhi had warned him that his body couldn't drink alcohol at the moment.
There were twelve dishes, each in small portions, and Li Ze accepted almost everything offered, finishing one plate after another.
The people in the shop were all secretly observing him, some even taking out their cameras to secretly film him. Li Ze, however, acted as if he didn't see it, letting them film and look at him without the slightest embarrassment.
In less than an hour, he finished all twelve dishes.
"I'm full." Li Ze rubbed his stomach, a hint of annoyance flashing across his face.
One of the downsides of the human body is that we have a small appetite.
"Ahhh, he looks so cute touching his belly!" The woman in the corner was excitedly frantic.
"How does he manage to eat so much and still stay so thin?"
"Is it possible that he also exercises a lot?"
"Seeing him eat so heartily made me hungry too."
......
Li Ze let out a burp and got up to pay the bill.
"This is on the boss's behalf, it's free," the clerk said with a smile.
Li Ze frowned. "You're treating me to a meal? Your boss is richer than me?"
The shop assistant's face stiffened. "No, we don't have that."
"Since he's not as rich as me, why did he hire anyone?" Li Ze asked, puzzled.
Shop assistant: "......."
That makes a lot of sense.
In the end, Li Ze insisted on paying the bill.
After Li Ze walked out of the restaurant, the clerk contacted his boss and said with a complicated expression, "Li Ze said that you are not as rich as him, so he will not accept your invitation to dinner."
"Damn, he has to have conditions for treating him to a meal!" The boss was stunned.
Shop assistant: "......."
After leaving the restaurant, Li Ze walked towards the hotel. He had only taken a few steps when he noticed something was wrong; someone was following him.
However, the other party did not seem to have any malicious intent.
Since there was no ill intent, Li Ze didn't care anymore. He went into the hotel and booked the best room.
He slept soundly without any dreams, and woke up early the next morning.
The soreness in his demonic core had disappeared, and he could continue absorbing the malevolent energy.
Li Ze released the aircraft in front of the hotel. Just as he was about to board it, his gaze seemingly unintentionally swept to the side—
Someone is watching him.
However, there was still no malice intended.
What were those people's goals?
Li Ze was puzzled and could only put it aside for the time being.
The planet was very large. Even at Li Ze's speed, he could only get a general view after ten days of flying in a spacecraft. He simply skipped over the places where the evil energy was thin.
On the eleventh day, Li Ze appeared at the jump point.
"The jump point is under maintenance and will be operational again tomorrow," the soldier guarding the jump point told Li Ze.
Li Ze fell into deep thought, considering whether he should come back tomorrow or leave now in his mecha. After much deliberation, Li Ze decided to wait another night.
Anyway, he's not in a hurry.
So, Li Ze released the aircraft again and flew it towards the city.
Just two or three kilometers after Li Ze left the jump point, a loud bang suddenly came from above the aircraft, as if something had hit it.
Li Ze dared not be careless and immediately controlled the aircraft to land.
The instant he stepped out of the aircraft, a swift and fierce gust of wind swept towards him.
Li Ze was startled and hurriedly dodged to the side. But his opponent, having failed in his first attack, changed direction halfway through and continued to attack him.
Li Ze braced his toes on the aircraft, pushed off, and slid out, creating distance between himself and the attacker.
"You've got some skills." The thin man brushed aside his long hair, showing interest. "No wonder Zhao Lingman risked everything to come to me."
Upon hearing the name Zhao Lingman, Li Ze immediately understood her purpose.
“You’re very capable too.” Li Ze stated it plainly, simply stating a fact.
Zhao Xi smiled, "This is even more interesting."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned in and pressed forward again.
Li Ze narrowed his eyes and went to meet him.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged no less than a hundred moves.
The more Li Ze fought, the more surprised he became; the long-haired man's speed and strength were no less than his own.
This man was probably the strongest person he had ever met since he came into this world.
Not only Li Ze, but Zhao Xi was also shocked. According to the information he had collected, the boy was only twenty years old before the Lunar New Year and was a guide.
When did the guide, who was always good at supporting, become able to fight on par with this SSS Sentinel?
Could it be that he's been locked up for too long and has become ignorant of the world?
The two exchanged blows, each punch landing squarely, and soon their bodies were covered in bruises.
Half an hour, an hour, two hours—
"Heh, you look so skinny, but I didn't expect you to have such good stamina." Zhao Xi's tone was full of admiration.
"I'd like to say the same to you," Li Ze said.
"However, this is where it ends." Zhao Xi sneered. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to see such a genius die here.
After all, strong people appreciate each other.
But he had no choice; he wanted freedom more than the other person's life.
"Flying Dragon, come out," Zhao Xi suddenly said.
A sense of crisis welled up in Li Ze's heart. The next second, a giant snake, nearly a hundred meters long and shining with golden light, suddenly appeared in front of him.
