Wandao long distance

"Nine hundred and ninety-eight."

"nine hundred ninety-nine."

"one thousand!"

At the dock in the early morning, twelve-year-old Li Qi was helping to move goods.

This is the part-time job he found for help. How should I put it... It gives Li Qi a nostalgic feeling.

This is not only about earning money by helping others, but also about building up strength and exercising muscles.

Compared to finding equipment to exercise on your own, doing manual labor is obviously much more cost-effective.

Normally, a twelve-year-old boy should not train like this, because it will hinder his development and cause him to not grow tall in the future. However, looking at Li Qi's appearance, it is completely fine to say that he is eighteen years old, as he already looks very tall and strong.

However, it is obvious that Li Qi does not follow this rule. He uses martial arts, although not a particularly advanced one.

There was no way. He couldn't remember or use the cutting-edge techniques. This was completely beyond his current ability. Li Qi, including his thinking organs, was really just a mortal. The complexity of those top-level martial arts techniques was completely beyond Li Qi's understanding with his current brain, so he could only give up.

This is a restriction imposed by the inner demon that was exchanging with him. It can probably only be resolved after the winner is decided.

However, correspondingly, the inner demon should have lost all his abilities and could only watch Li Qi struggle in the reincarnation calamity. If he succeeds, Li Qi wins, otherwise, Li Qi loses.

However, Li Qi still doesn't understand what the 'goal' of the reincarnation calamity is.

According to the setting of the reincarnation calamity, there will be a 'gate of life', which is the goal. After completing this goal, you can escape.

If you fail to complete it, you will naturally have to pay a price. You will be damaged, constantly worn down, and eventually die.

However, that only applies to the fourth and fifth ranks. For the second rank, their health bars are too long, so it will be delayed for a very long time.

Li Qi was not in a hurry, he was very patient, but...

He had a vague feeling.

  Do I really have a lot of time?

If I had a lot of time, would the inner demon have done this to me? Was he going through all this trouble just for this?

Could it be that I only have this one life?

Li Qi began to feel alert. No matter how long time passed, he would live every life as if it were his last and look for the 'door' to break the cycle of reincarnation.

"Li Qi!" At this time, Xing Xue was outside greeting Li Qi.

Xingxue now looks much more energetic, mainly because Li Qi is very hardworking and has been using various means to supplement the family income.

Li Qi did not show his savings because he just wanted to be a sensible child and not a monster. Moreover, he used his money to buy elixirs that could temper his body.

For a martial artist's training, the most important thing is nourishment. Your surging energy and blood are filled with natural treasures. Without sufficient food and medicine, forcing yourself to practice martial arts will only deplete your body and eventually kill yourself.

Three parts training and seven parts diet, this is the real situation of martial arts. Moreover, no matter whether it is diet or training, you must persevere and not slack off at all.

Therefore, most of the money Li Qi earned was spent on purchasing various materials and elixirs online. Sometimes he would go out to purchase them in person under the guise of traveling.

As for Xingxue, he only took out a few thousand yuan every few months to improve her life, but this was enough to make Xingxue surprised and distressed.

  Little Li Qicai has just started school. On the surface, he is actually working for others to earn money. He must have worked very hard to earn this money, right?

Li Qi got up from the ground and ran towards Xing Xue: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"At school, the teacher recently told me that you don't have many friends, so don't work too hard." Xingxue wiped the sweat off her son's face with some concern.

"Nothing, it's not that reason. The people in school are too childish. There's nothing to do." Li Qi smiled and shook his head: "I can't play with them."

This is the truth. Li Qizhen has no interest in wasting time with those kids.

He had to practice martial arts, exercise, and strengthen his blood every day. He also had to find time to earn money and buy various elixirs to prepare for a breakthrough to the ninth level. He really had no mood to play house with children.

He cannot make money solely from finance, he still has to find opportunities to do some work, otherwise it will seem as if his money fell from the sky.

But to outsiders, such a life seems too hard, especially for a child.

Li Qi was just a 1.8-meter-tall kid. He had no friends and worked as a helper every day. Moreover, Li Qi's grades were also very good. You can imagine how much hardship he had endured.

Although these things are not likely to stump Li Qi at all.

To outsiders, this is how Li Qi and his mother live.

Without a father, the mother and the child are all helping out, but the child is hardworking, efficient, has excellent grades, and is polite. The mother is also a kind person, so the surrounding neighbors all have a good impression of them and help them out on a daily basis.

It was basically a peaceful life. Li Qi estimated that such days would continue until he was about fourteen years old. At that age, he would be able to strengthen his five internal organs and break through to the ninth level.

He wiped the sweat off his face, paid his wages, gave the money to his mother, ate the breakfast she brought, and the mother and son chatted and laughed as they prepared to go home.

After returning home, Li Qi naturally went to school, while Xing Xue began to prepare for opening a store.

Yes, opening a shop. Over the years, Xingxue opened a tailor stall downstairs from her house. The business was pretty good, and the lives of both mother and son were much better than before.

Generally speaking, after finishing school, Li Qi would work in the afternoon and would not return home until the evening. At that time, Xing Xue would prepare dinner and wait for him to come back.

The life of mother and son is so ordinary, and Li Qi actually enjoys it quite a bit.

But today, something changed.

Li Qi frowned slightly and saw a few thugs squatting on his own tailor stall.

"Hey, you're back?" The gangsters stood up, sticks in their hands.

Xing Xue immediately stood in front of Li Qi, looked at the gangsters, and said politely: "Brothers, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's you, right? Didn't I tell you a few days ago that you are not allowed to set up stalls in this place without consent?" The gangsters said impatiently.

"Didn't I pay the stall fee? Is there any misunderstanding?" Xing Xue was a little confused, but still asked with a stiff smile.

"Where did you pay the stall fee? Look carefully, you paid it to Quan Sanhui before, but now this street is not under their jurisdiction. Remember, in the future, you should pay the stall fee to us two dragon heads and we will make up for it." The gangsters said nonchalantly while rummaging through the cloth on the stall.

"This... I just paid it two days ago and I don't have any cash now--" Xingxue looked embarrassed.

According to Li Qi's personality, this kind of thing is actually no big deal. Just pay it. The money is nothing. Li Qi is actually richer than imagined. It would be best if he could just get rid of it casually.

As a second-rank master, Li Qi can remain calm even when facing a madman who wants to destroy the world and massacre billions of people. They are just a few small thugs and cannot cause any trouble at all. He can easily analyze the situation and know what to do to best suit his needs.

What Li Qi needs now is to spend the time before reaching the ninth rank peacefully and not cause any trouble. These expenses are a lot for Xing Xue, but they are nothing for Li Qi.

However, for some reason, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

A surge of anger tried to break through Li Qi's "reason".

This made Li Qi frown slightly.

"Hey! What the hell is that on your face? Are you very unhappy?" The gangsters seemed to have seen Li Qi's frown and jumped up immediately. Two or three of them took sticks, overturned the stall, and then pressed the sticks against Li Qi's forehead.

Li Qi grabbed the stick with his backhand, snatched it directly, and then hit the opponent's hand with his backhand. Before he even let out a wail, Li Qi had already rushed to the next person.

With a burst of strength, he punched the opponent in the liver.

Just one punch and the person fainted.

Another gangster just reacted at this time, but Li Qi's speed was like teleportation. He rushed in front of him and punched him in the liver again.

In less than half a second, all three of them were lying on the ground, only one was howling, the other two fainted.

Xingxue was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Mom, please ask for leave from school for me." Li Qi put down his bag.

Xing Xue was about to persuade Li Qi and wanted to hold him back, but Li Qi immediately turned around and said to her, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Li Qi has always been very opinionated, and Xingxue knew that she couldn't argue with him, so she didn't say anything, but just pulled Li Qi and wouldn't let him leave.

Li Qi smiled and pulled his hand out, saying, "Don't worry, Mom, I know my limits. Just wait at home, and remember to lock the door and close the windows."

After saying this, Li Qi put down his things and walked up to the gangster who was still awake.

He was just hit on the hand by Li Qi just now, so he was still able to move.

"Let's go, lead the way."

Having said that, he carried the other person out.

At least you should be calm in front of Xingxue.

He was tolerant enough to accommodate many emotions, and not showing his emotions on his face should be a basic skill. However, he now discovered that in this state, emotions could easily affect him, as if he were really a mortal.

This emotion was so contagious, as if something was urging Li Qi, forcing him to "get angry quickly, get angry quickly, the time has come, you must get angry."

Li Qi knew that there must be something fishy going on, so he decided to follow his emotions and see what was going on. Was it his inner demon that was urging him to "act"?

This made Li Qi suspicious.

If it was the inner demon that forced Li Qi to get angry, it was too ugly and too easy to be noticed, so much so that Li Qi felt that the inner demon would not do such a thing.

But on the other hand, the anger in his heart is real, and Li Qi does not have the ability to "isolate thoughts" now.

For example, when Shen Shuibi was at the fourth level, she could carefully examine each of her thoughts and ideas, then delete those that she didn't want, and keep the thoughts that she felt were acceptable.

But Li Qi couldn't do it now, but he didn't let anger get to his head.

He doesn't care about organizations like the Three Power Associations or the Two Dragon Heads.

As of now, there is no such thing as superhuman in this world, and the world record is basically maintained at around 10 seconds for 100 meters.

To be honest, Li Qi now only needs five seconds to run a hundred meters.

He is a standard, out-and-out superhuman, at least at Captain America level. To deal with these little thugs, he can easily defeat them with his two big bastards. Although this will disrupt his peaceful life, it doesn't really matter.

Li Qi mainly wanted to figure out the source of his anger.

As he walked outside, the gangster gradually calmed down from his fear.

  He's just a middle school student. Although he's a little bigger, his family doesn't have any power. So why should I be afraid of him?

He immediately became tough again: "Do you know that there are people behind our two dragon heads?!"

"I don't know. Please tell me, who is it?" Li Qi asked politely.

This silenced the little gangster.

  Why does this middle school student look so genuinely interested? What is he not afraid of?

"I'm telling you! If you mess with us, neither you nor your mother will have a good ending!"

"Oh, how come it didn't end well?"

"I'll find my brothers to kill you and your mother!"

"Okay, where's your brother?"

Li Qi grabbed the other person's injured hand and kept squeezing it, asking him to lead the way intermittently.

The other party wanted to break free, but his hand was in unbearable pain. In the end, he probably felt that the situation was stronger than him, so he stopped talking and really started to lead the way.

As long as they take him to the base camp, those dozens of brothers, armed with knives and sticks, can't they kill a middle school student?

After walking for a while, they arrived at a nightclub.

The nightclub is closed during the day and you can only enter through the back door.

After entering, it was as dark and cramped as it was at night. The ballroom was empty, but there were still some people inside. Some were doing odd jobs in the wine cellar, and some were in the offices in the back and upstairs.

Even these vibrant social groups need clerical work. Those who only know how to fight and kill cannot gain a foothold in the world. They need to maintain relationships, do accounting, and calculate costs. All these require skills and knowledge.

Therefore, these little gangsters can only be thugs forever.

If they join the gangs, they can only be at the bottom and cannot move up. If they don’t study, they can’t even be gangsters.

As soon as he entered, the little gangster started to cry out in despair!

"Brothers! Someone is kicking the door!"

He shouted, and then he saw a dozen people suddenly rushing out from upstairs and downstairs, some holding knives and some holding sticks.

"Who?! Are the people from Quan Sanhui here?!" Several strong men who looked like thugs also rushed out.

These strong men seem much more oppressive than the gangsters. They should be characters like Red Sticks, not ordinary little guys who just want to gather numbers.

Li Qi let go: "No, it's just me."

"Ji Tou, you're a fucking retard. You got beaten up like this by a guy, and you still brought him back!?" the strong men cursed.

But the next second, the strong man flew up.

Li Qi is not here to reason.

The inexplicable anger in his heart had gradually grown and boiled, and he had to pour it out.

He could feel that there were emotions manipulating him, and the source of these emotions was very strange.

But...it doesn't hurt to give it a try. (End of this chapter)
