Chapter 121 Reality



Go to the bathroom and wash your face first, then come back and think carefully about what happened.

Li Qing set out a plan.

He struggled to his feet, preparing to go to the restroom not far from the office.

Just then.

My phone received a text message.

Good habits forced Li Qing to abandon her hastily made plans, take out her phone, unlock it, and look at the latest text message on it.

"Xiao Li, you've worked hard these past few days. Don't forget to come to my office the next day when you come to work."

The sender.

Zhang Dalong.

Li Qing's boss.

His immediate supervisor.

This text message disgusted Li Qing, and for the first time, a strange flame of anger ignited within him.

Zhang Dalong's words were cryptic, but Li Qing understood perfectly what they meant.

work overtime!

Aside from working overtime and attending "criticism" meetings, Li Qing never considered any other possibilities.

Encouragement, promotion, overtime pay... Li Qing didn't even dare to dream of these things.

He thought about quitting countless times, but for the sake of making a living, Li Qing swallowed the thought back on his mind countless times.

After all, in Beijing, it's rare to find a stable job that's not far from home.

But this time is different.

More than just anger and a refusal to compromise, Li Qing recalled her hard-earned annual leave and decided to use it all at once to take a good rest and go on a cruise to "travel the world." On the way, Li Qing was bombarded with text messages from her boss.

"Could you please process this form for me today?"

"Teach Xiao Jiang how to handle the tasks I've assigned him. He's a new employee and doesn't understand many things. Thank you for your help."

"Is it convenient for you to talk now? There's something very important related to work that I need to tell you."

One text message after another ruined Li Qing's good mood and also ruined the trip she had planned for herself to relax—single people should treat themselves better.

"damn it!"

Li Qing slammed the phone to the ground.

"Boss, are you ever going to stop?!"

He cursed, and still not satisfied, he stomped on the phone hard.

Anyway, he had been using this phone for more than two years, and it was so laggy that Li Qing had wanted to curse it several times. Even if he stepped on it and broke it, Li Qing wouldn't feel bad.

Instead, he can use this excuse to ignore his boss and find a good reason to get a new phone.

Kara~

Suddenly, a flash of electricity appeared on the phone at my feet.

"What the hell? Is there an electrical leak?"

Li Qing asked curiously.

"It can't be that bad. This phone was very cheap when I bought it, but it shouldn't leak electricity just from stomping on it."

Li Qing squatted down.

The phone went silent again.

"hiss……"

Even though she told herself that this was most likely a dream, Li Qing still carefully stood up, found a damp towel near the desk, put it in her palm, and then picked up her phone.

He pressed the lock screen button, and the phone lit up again. The text message that Li Qing found so disgusting appeared in front of him once more.

I fiddled with the phone for a bit, but nothing seemed amiss.

Li Qing frowned: "Could it be that I really saw it wrong just now? Thinking about it, it makes sense. Electric leakage is a common occurrence in the news, but how could it happen to me?"

No sooner said than done, just as Li Qing was thinking this, a dazzling light suddenly burst from the phone, blinding him and causing him to involuntarily close his eyes. At the same time, a numbing sensation emanated from the phone and spread to Li Qing's hands, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. He felt that everything in front of him was getting further and further away.

...

"Ouch, I've been electrocuted!"

Li Qing trembled as he got up.

...a cave?

Chu, Dian, Cang...

ah.

I'm back again?

Seeing that Li Qing had regained his spirits and was watching him nervously, Dian and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maizi, are you alright?"

Chu Xin said happily.

He had just clearly seen Li Qing, who had been unconscious, suddenly sit up with great energy, completely different from when he was unconscious.

What is electric shock?

Cang then asked a question unrelated to the current situation.

Dian Congcang noticed a hint of relief in his expression and wondered if Li Qing was alright. "Cang, has Mai Zi come back to life?"

"You should ask him about that."

Cang laughed.

Li Qing stretched his body and felt light and airy. He felt much better than before his body started acting strangely, which must be a sign that he was recovering. He nodded to himself, somewhat disbelievingly, and said, "I should be fine now. Where's Dahei?"

Cang pointed to the corner and said, "It's sleeping. It's very healthy. You were able to get through that, so it'll definitely be fine too. Don't worry, it fell asleep about 500 breaths before you woke up. Just wait for it to wake up on its own."

Chu exclaimed, "You're incredibly lucky! Not only did you become the first totem warrior in our tribe, but you also recovered so quickly. I thought it would take you a long time to wake up."

Totem Warrior!

This word not only reminded Li Qing, but also the other members of the tribe who had been too afraid to speak.

They were unaware of the situation, and with important figures like Dian present, they dared not speak carelessly for fear of causing trouble. However, now that the three chieftains had more smiles on their faces and Li Qing seemed to be better, they relaxed and began to chatter, pointing at Li Qing from head to toe.

"Totem warriors, huh? It's said that totem warriors are about the size of wheat... medium build!"

"Yes, their power comes from within their bodies, so there's no need for them to train their entire bodies to be so strong and look particularly intimidating. But I feel that the more they do that, the more mysterious they seem to their enemies. After all, they are totem warriors."

The man's analysis was quite logical, but he had only heard of totem warriors and had never seen one, so he didn't know just how powerful they were. He got stuck at a crucial point, making several warriors beside him, who were waiting for him to continue, anxious and worried that he wouldn't finish.

"The most distinctive feature of a totem warrior is that he will have the totem of the ferocious beast he has eaten imprinted on his body. Wheat 'devoured' Big Black, so he should have Big Black's totem on him, right? But why doesn't he have anything on him?"

Just then, a younger soldier with sharp eyes spotted the flaw and pointed out the strange thing happening to Li Qing.

"Huh, there really isn't any!"

"This is so strange. He has nothing on him. Could Cang have made a mistake? Impossible! Cang would never make a mistake!"

The soldiers were discussing among themselves. After confirming Dahei's physical condition, Li Qing finally lowered his head to examine his own body. He quickly discovered that he indeed did not have any of Dahei's tattoos on his body!
