Chapter 380: Strange Item [Artificial Human]
Artificial man, as its name suggests, is a person created by man.
Its own abilities are extended to the various props and equipment made for it by Li Qi.
One of them is a universal tool. Li Qi originally used this tool to repair the puppet's body and do other things by placing it inside the puppet's body. After it was transformed into a magical object, it became a universal tool that can cope with almost all situations where tools are needed.
The second is the weapon arm.
Li Qi's right hand hid many weapons, including blades, hidden weapons, whips, grappling hooks, etc., which were used for fighting.
After becoming a magical object, Li Qi's right arm can be freely transformed into any weapon he knows.
Li Qi can also make changes to the weapons listed in the previous life's strange weapons list.
The third ability is self-healing skin.
Li Qi's skin is a bionic skin made of a mixture of special materials. It has no self-healing ability and once injured, the mechanical structure inside will be exposed.
But now, even if the entire skin falls off, as long as a little bit remains, the skin can heal itself.
When injured, it will secrete red liquid like humans, which adds to the authenticity of Li Qi's puppet body.
The last ability is the change of one's own ability value.
The puppet's body was not very strong to begin with, and even when encountering a car accident, Li Qi would first try to find a way to leave the car instead of staying in it and fighting it out.
Because his body cannot withstand the damage caused by high-speed collision.
But after becoming a magical object, Li Qi's overall physical strength went up a level. From now on, even if he encountered a car accident or accidentally fell from a great height, he wouldn't have to worry about his body being shattered by the impact.
Moreover, this enhancement will become stronger as Li Qi's own strength increases.
This is a growth wonder.
The puppet has become a strange object with new abilities, and according to the rules of this world, there will naturally be a corresponding price.
As a rare object itself, Li Qi does not need to pay any price.
But if others want to 'use' him, or want him to do something, they have to pay a price.
This price is based on Li Qi's feelings, and is called "equivalent exchange."
For example, taking Sun Xiaoqing as an example, if Sun Xiaoqing wants Li Qi's puppet body to do something in the future, such as getting rid of someone, Sun Xiaoqing must pay the corresponding price.
That is a life.
Of course, although it is an equal exchange, Li Qi has the final say on what price the user has to pay.
It is certain that the cost cannot be avoided, but Li Qi can reduce the impact of the cost.
Let's use the previous example to explain. If someone wants Li Qi to take someone's life, normally he or she has to pay the price of an equal number of lives.
But Li Qi can change the price of 'equal amount of life' to 'smaller amount of life' according to his own ideas.
According to this rule, the user only needs to pay an insignificant life, such as a stray dog, stray cat, or even a mouse or fly, to complete the cost of an equivalent exchange.
Similarly, Li Qi can also choose to magnify the impact of the cost.
This means that the user needs to sacrifice more lives to fulfill his wish of "getting rid of someone".
“This makes it very easy to operate.”
After figuring out the capabilities and costs of his current body, Li Qi showed an interested expression on his face.
The price can be smaller or larger, and how it changes depends entirely on Li Qi's mood. Such a price is really interesting, and many interesting ideas flashed through Li Qi's mind.
But then again, Li Qi has no habit of letting others use him, even if it's just a puppet body.
From that special spiritual world, returning to his puppet body, Li Qi opened his eyes on the sofa in Yi Cheng's house.
It was already late at night and Yi Cheng had gone back to the bedroom to sleep.
Even though she calls herself the 'Lord of Eternal Night', Yi Cheng is still a sixteen-year-old girl. She gets hungry and sleepy, and night is her time to rest.
When Li Qi opened his eyes, Ye Yue had just come out of Yi Cheng's room.
She had just finished telling Yi Cheng a story and watched Yi Cheng fall into a sweet dream. She then left the bedroom and returned to the living room, where she happened to meet Li Qi's eyes.
"Solved?"
Ye Yue asked quietly.
She knew what Li Qi had done, and Yi Cheng actually had a vague idea of what was going on, so she didn't make a fuss about going with him.
Chuunibyou is not stupidity. Yicheng actually understands everything, but just doesn't want to face it.
Li Qi nodded to Ye Yue and responded: "Solved."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, glanced at Yi Cheng's bedroom, and then asked Ye Yue, "Do you want to come live with me? The end of the world is coming soon. It's not safe to stay outside."
Even Li Qi’s safe house in the real world is not actually very safe.
The only relatively safe place is Li Qi's dream town.
Facing Li Qi's invitation, Ye Yue thought for a long time before shaking her head:
"I'd really like to go, but Yi Cheng doesn't seem to want to go."
"You seem to care about what she thinks?"
Li Qi looked at Ye Yue with a little surprise.
He thought Ye Yue would hate Yi Cheng, after all, it was Yi Cheng who caused her reincarnation to go wrong and she was trapped in a dead person's body.
But now it seems that Ye Yue doesn't hate Yi Cheng as much as he imagined. She even cares about Yi Cheng's thoughts.
This surprised Li Qi a little.
Ye Yue quickly answered Li Qi's question. She did not hide anything and said bluntly:
"In my previous life... I had a daughter."
She looked towards Yi Cheng's bedroom door and whispered, "It was a terrible world. Few people could survive it, including my daughter... and when she died, she was exactly the same age as Yi Cheng."
"I understand."
After hearing what Ye Yue said, Li Qi quickly understood her feelings.
Li Qi also had a son and was a father, and he also experienced the feeling of seeing a loved one die.
Although Li Bofan died of old age, Li Qi should have no regrets, but when he occasionally thinks back on it, Li Qi still feels a little sad.
So if Li Qi met someone who looked similar to Li Bofan, he might pay more attention to him.
This kind of care will probably not be replaced by new feelings until the next life, so he can understand Ye Yue's feelings very well.
Li Qi did not persuade her any more. He just handed the photo of Dream Town to Ye Yue and said:
"If you run into trouble with Yi Cheng, head towards this town. Maybe I can help you at a critical moment."
"Thanks."
Ye Yue didn't ask any more questions, put away the photos and thanked Li Qi.
Li Qi nodded slightly, turned around and left without saying anything more.
Having just eaten a super tonic, he needs to go back and digest it properly.
Although the [Friend] pollution did not allow Li Qi to advance to the fifth level of Tiangong Soul Transfer, it was not far off.
If you go back and meditate for a while, you will almost be able to make a breakthrough.
For this, Li Qi still needs to work hard.
…
Inside the Heritage Society.
Zhao Hong and several code-named members of his circle gathered in Zhao Hong's own room.
Among them was a reptile who looked pale and as if she had not slept well. She was leaning on the knight at the moment.
Zhao Hong glanced at the reptile with half-closed eyes, and did not disturb the poor girl who was unconscious after playing horror games all night, but turned to look at the knight.
"You said that pollution has extremely high growth potential?"
The knight looked down at the dozing girl, and seeing that she had no intention of answering, he nodded and said:
"That's what the reptile said. She saw with her own eyes that the pollution ate [her friend], and then she grew tremendously."
As soon as the knight finished speaking, Zhao Hong's female secretary took over and said, "The pollution from the [non-existent friend] in China was confirmed to have been completely eliminated yesterday. They just reported the matter to the United Nations today."
What the crawler experienced happened a few days ago.
After some strange investigations, China confirmed that the [non-existent friend] had been completely destroyed by an unknown entity.
It was for this reason that Zhao Hong took Reptile's words seriously and called all his confidants here.
Of course, Zhao Hong also attached great importance to what the reptile said before, and even used the [mother-child mirror] to contact his superiors again, but there was no relevant news from China at that time.
Until today.
"Is it possible that it is some other strange object?"
After the secretary finished speaking, another young man in the room who was wearing glasses and looked a bit like a nerd expressed a different opinion:
"Maybe it's not pollution, but some magical object that can eliminate pollution? After all, the reptile gave us too little information, so we can't confirm whether it is pollution or not."
As soon as the young man with glasses finished speaking, the reptile spoke up:
"The only thing that can deal with pollution is pollution. This is something that the higher-ups have confirmed. And so far, have you ever seen pollution being dealt with by a strange object?"
The reptile did not open its eyes when it spoke, and its words were weak.
Due to excessive use of USB flash drives, she had played several horror games on the market in the past few days. She was so scared that she cried over and over again. Now she was completely exhausted and didn't even have the energy to curse loudly.
Not to mention the reptile that was almost half dead, after hearing what the reptile said, everyone fell into a brief silence.
Compared to other countries, the Antiquities Society is actually the organization most familiar with pollution and strange objects.
Because they were the first to come into contact with strange objects, and they were also the first to come into contact with pollution. Even now, according to the speculation from above, it is very likely that this is a super-large pollution that is sweeping the world.
Therefore, the information obtained from above will basically not have any errors or omissions.
In this way, what the reptile said is very likely to be true, and what eliminated the "non-existent friend" is a new type of unknown pollution.
Zhao Hong was thinking and was about to say something when his internal communicator suddenly beeped.
All the members who heard the sound shut their mouths and looked at Zhao Hong at the same time.
Zhao Hong took out the communicator, looked at it, turned it off, and then said to everyone:
"My boss wants me to attend a meeting. You guys continue the discussion. I'll be back soon."
The Twelve Stars and some top codename members have similar communication devices.
When the communicator rings, it means there are new orders from above.
Members who do not have any work to complete must gather at a certain place according to the instructions of the communicator after receiving orders.
Just like Zhao Hong now.
