My Endless Life

Chapter 24: Borent's solicitation

In the canteen of the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Bolent bought a glass of milk and handed it to Li Qi, who was sitting opposite him.

Seeing that Li Qi was still in shock, Bolent said apologetically:

"Sorry for scaring you. I didn't expect that orb to explode."

"No...it's because I didn't think it through. I shouldn't have input the maximum magic power directly."

Li Qi held the milk in both hands and answered softly.

In fact, he should have thought of it earlier. This kind of orb was obviously a trial type.

Just because it can withstand the magic power of firing one bullet does not mean it can withstand the magic power of firing ten bullets.

And Li Qi just input all the magic power into it at once, which obviously exceeded the magic input limit that the orb can withstand, so it will produce a magic reaction and explode directly. This is normal...

Well, actually Li Qi was also very angry.

Experiment with this unfinished prototype without telling you the dangers.

This is why Li Qi reacts quickly.

Otherwise, if Li Qi was killed by the orb, Dr. Reeves and Bolent next to him would certainly not be able to survive!

Even if we take a step back, Bolent is extremely powerful and can survive the explosion, but the mortal Dr. Levi certainly cannot.

Li Qi saw it with his superpower when he met Dr. Revie. Dr. Revie was just an ordinary junior magister and would never be able to withstand such an explosion!

But anger is anger, and Li Qi also understood that this explosion was probably not what Dr. Levi and Bolent had expected.

Otherwise, they wouldn't stand so close to Li Qi.

It was just an accident.

But even though it was an accident, Bolent still apologized to Li Qi and said:

"It's not your fault. I should have thought that this kind of device that can enhance the operation of magic power will definitely cause big problems if it malfunctions, but... I trust Dr. Levi too much."

"Dr. Levi...who is he?"

After calming down a little, Li Qi asked Bolent.

Bolent explained:

"He is the person in charge here and is currently in charge of researching the magic power enhancement orb. The orb you just used was developed by him himself."

"Dr. Na Wei is very powerful..."

"Yes, he is very powerful. He found a way to use magic to enhance bullets, and he also found the future of the magisters, but..."

Bolent smiled helplessly when he said this:

"Dr. Levi sometimes doesn't have a clear head. He doesn't care about anything except research, so what happened today happened."

This is what a genius scientist looks like.

Li Qi complained in his heart.

It is not difficult to see from Bolent's description that Dr. Reeves is the kind of traditional scientific 'madman' in film and television works. Except for the projects he cares about, he does not care about anything else.

It fits Li Qi's stereotype of a genius scientist very well.

But let’s not mention that the scientist talisman did not meet the standards in Li Qi’s mind. Thinking of the disk he wore on him today that almost blew him into pieces, Li Qi raised his head and asked Bolrent:

"Sir, I would like to ask you, what is the orb that Dr. Levi gave to me today..."

Mentioning this, a smile appeared on Bolent's face.

He smiled and said to Li Qi:

"Are you surprised? That thing was named [Magic Amplification Orb Type 1] by Dr. Levi. It can enhance the magic power of the magister. When paired with specially made firearms, the firearms can exert more powerful power."

When he said this, he looked into Li Qi's eyes and said pointedly:

"Didn't you say that the future of the Magic Army will be dominated by guns and more powerful weapons? Do you still think so now?"

"..."

It turns out that this is the reason why Major Bolent brought him here.

Li Qi vaguely understood.

It was precisely because of what he said in front of Bolent a few days ago that he was brought here now to personally test the [Magic Enhancement Orb Type 1] that was being tested.

Li Qi had to admit that if this kind of orb could really be mass-produced, put on the battlefield, and used by every member of the Magical Army, then the Magical Army could really become the ace force of the Principality of Uno!

Think about it, the limit of an ordinary bolt-action rifle that can accurately shoot is three hundred meters.

In fact, if the accuracy of this rifle is not considered, its bullets can fly up to 800 meters away!

Suppose that the Magic Army stood on a high place, and each one of them had such a gun in his hand, shooting at one place at the same time.

Even without aiming, bullet bombing alone can cause an extremely serious blow to the enemy!

Longer strike distance and more lethal fire coverage represent an absolute advantage on the battlefield!

Li Qi had to admit that this was an epoch-making product.

This is true for the Magister and this world!

Li Qi took a deep breath, stood up, saluted Bolent, apologized and said:

"Sorry, sir, my previous remarks were too arbitrary. Maybe you are right, the Magic Army... is the future of the country."

"Okay, okay, I'm not angry. You sit down first."

Li Qi's apology made Bolent very satisfied, but he did not show it. Instead, he raised his hand and asked Li Qi to sit down.

After waiting for the other party to sit back in his original position, Bolent continued:

"It's not your fault. The current research and development of magic weapons is still a secret. Only a few people know the relevant progress. You don't know about magic weapons. Judging from your perspective, the magic army does have no future.

"And this is why I admire you."

Borrent looked at Li Qi with satisfaction.

Hearing him say this, Li Qi suddenly thought that the person who transferred him to the capital seemed to be Borrent in front of him.

He should have taken a fancy to Li Qi a long time ago and wanted him to do something.

The chance encounter in the library that day might not be accidental.

Perhaps it was because Li Qi did not choose the course of the magic army that Borrent became curious, so he contacted him in the library in advance.

But... why?

Li Qi pondered.

Why did Borrent admire him so much?

You know, Borrent called Li Qi to the capital before he and Li Qi had a face-to-face communication.

So what is the real reason?

Is it because of his performance on the battlefield, or because of the medal he wore?

Or is it because of his strength?

Li Qi couldn't figure it out, but subconsciously he felt that there might be a pit in it.

At that moment, he lowered his head a few points and whispered:

"... Your subordinate, it may not be worthy of your attention."

"Don't belittle yourself, Lieutenant Li Qi, I have seen your excellence, whether it is your "deeds" on the battlefield or your performance during the assessment, I have learned about them, so I brought you here today."

Borent said here, and asked very seriously:

"Lieutenant Li Qi, I think I have seen the future of the Magic Army, so... are you willing to work for me now?"

"Major, I think you have not forgotten that your current appointment letter seems to be hanging in the intelligence department?"

Although Wood said that Li Qi should try to leave the intelligence department.

But after all, it was the head of the intelligence department who recommended Li Qi to enter the school, so his appointment letter and part of the military file are still in the intelligence department.

Regardless of whether Li Qi will choose to transfer departments after graduation.

At least now, Li Qi is still a member of the intelligence department.

He is a subordinate of the nominally highest chief of the intelligence department in front of him.

In other words, Li Qi is actually working for Borrent now, and there is no doubt about that.
