Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

The moment he stepped into the store, the strong smell of alcohol assaulted Li Chenqiu's nostrils. He followed the scent and saw an old man, about fifty or sixty years old, with flushed cheeks, slumped on the ground.

The old man's face was somewhat plump and sagging, and he wore an oil-stained apron. His black and white hair added a touch of vicissitude to his appearance.

Empty wine bottles were scattered around the old man. Li Qingxia was squatting on the ground, cleaning them up.

Hearing the movement at the door, he said without looking up, "The boss is drunk with his friend. Help him upstairs. I can handle things here by myself."

"Okay."

Li Chenqiu didn't say much. He walked to Li Ji, helped him up, and staggered towards the second floor. Soon, he helped Li Ji back to his bed.

The housing prices in City 11 were very high. To save money, Li Ji had built a partition in the 4-meter-high kitchen, with a 2-meter-high living space above and a 2-meter-high kitchen below.

The cramped space was only enough for a bed, and the three of them slept on it every day. It wasn't too crowded, but it was a bit stuffy.

In the summer, it became a steamer. At this time, Li Ji would spread a large mat on the floor of the restaurant and sleep comfortably with a fan blowing.

As soon as Li Ji touched the bed, his eyelashes fluttered, and he vaguely opened his eyes: "Hey… oh, isn't this… Strength Bro who doesn't need a plan… why are you back so soon, hehehe…"

"Boss, you're drunk. Go to sleep!" Li Chenqiu lifted the blanket to cover Li Ji, but Li Ji pushed his hand away and said groggily, "I'm not drunk! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, you're not drunk!" Li Chenqiu replied. He turned off the light and was about to go downstairs when Li Ji grabbed his hand.

Li Chenqiu tried to break free, but Li Ji seemed to have mustered a lot of courage and held on tightly.

After a few seconds of stalemate, Li Ji's voice sounded in the darkness, in a timid tone.

"I'm sorry."

Li Chenqiu's figure in the darkness paused, and he turned his head and said, "Why are you suddenly saying sorry?"

"I just want to ask… did you succeed in getting revenge?"

"Those people were weak. I killed them quickly. I got my revenge," Li Chenqiu said calmly.

"Hehehe, then you can relax a lot in the future. Chenqiu, squat down," Li Ji said, pulling Li Chenqiu with his rough hand.

Li Chenqiu didn't resist and obediently squatted beside Li Ji.

"Now that you've gotten your revenge, don't do dangerous things in the future. Let's three live well together, okay?" Li Ji said gently.

"Live well?" Li Chenqiu shook his head; "Can we always live well?"

"Aren't we living well now? I can cook and make money. I can buy you meat and buy Xiaoxue blood. We're happy every day."

"What if the supply of human blood is cut off? What if the Federation suddenly develops an instrument that can detect Resurrected? What if one day we are suspected by the Special Abilities Division?

At that time, they will kill us. This has nothing to do with good or evil, just like I was on the bridge. I didn't do anything wrong, but the name Resurrected is a capital crime."

Li Chenqiu clenched his fists, and dark currents surged in his dark eyes. He continued:

"Peace is a beautiful dream woven by the night sky. We will eventually wake up."

The flush on Li Ji's face faded a little, and he said dejectedly, "We will eventually be killed, so why can't we live well before we die?"

"We don't have to die, as long as we are strong enough."

Li Ji looked at Li Chenqiu when he heard this: "Can you be stronger than the Federation no matter how strong you are?"

"What if? Even if I die on this road, I will have no regrets." Li Chenqiu stood up: "My mother has already died because of my incompetence. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. As long as I can become stronger, nothing else matters."

After speaking, Li Chenqiu turned and walked downstairs.

No one knew that the strongest taboo in the history of the Federation was quietly hatching…

……

……

The dawn of the morning sun rose from the east, colliding and alternating with the deep blue night sky.

Li Chenqiu sat in front of the store door wrapped in a thin quilt, the damp morning breeze blowing his bangs.

The alternation of night and dawn was beautiful. Even fatigue and cold could not shake Li Chenqiu's gaze.

Click!

The store door behind him was opened, and a sleepy-eyed Li Qingxia walked out. He rubbed his messy hair and looked down at Li Chenqiu: "Why aren't you sleeping before dawn?"

"The sky is so beautiful today. If we miss it, we won't see it again." Li Chenqiu patted the steps next to him: "Come and watch together."

Li Qingxia glanced at Li Chenqiu when he heard this, and then sat next to him.

After a long silence, Li Qingxia opened his mouth and said, "Did the boss say something unpleasant yesterday? That's just how he is. Don't take it to heart."

"I didn't take it to heart. Second Brother, can you do me a favor?" Li Chenqiu suddenly grabbed Li Qingxia's hand.

"What favor?" Li Qingxia asked uneasily, "Let me state in advance that I won't help with favors that require money!"

"It doesn't require money. I'm a little tight on money recently. Can you help me find a day-to-day part-time job on North Yellow Mountain, specifically for April 16th?"

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Li Qingxia smiled confidently and made an "OK" gesture: "I'll take care of it for you today."

"By the way, I'm going to report to the Special Abilities Division when it gets light. Remember to tell the boss about what happened last night, about me becoming a Chosen One."

As soon as he said this, Li Qingxia stood up with a whoosh: "Why don't you go say it?"

"Don't I have things to do? Besides, didn't I negotiate with the boss for you when you caused trouble before?" Li Chenqiu said as a matter of course.

Li Qingxia pointed at Li Chenqiu and cursed, "Can the size of your troubles be the same as mine?"

"If you're going to nag about this, then I have to talk to you about it." Li Chenqiu stood up: "If you had seen clearly last night, would I have run to the fifth floor?"

"I was momentarily…"

"Don't be momentarily careless. Just tell me who made the fatal mistake!" Li Chenqiu directly interrupted Li Qingxia's words.

"Okay, okay, I'll say it. The older brother should always tolerate the younger brother's willfulness. I'll take a step back."

After speaking, Li Qingxia walked into the store indignantly.

……

After watching the sunrise, Li Chenqiu made some simple breakfast for the two of them.

Because he forgot to charge his phone last night, Li Chenqiu had to run to the Special Abilities Division.

It was only forty kilometers. He could get there in a while with some jogging and stopping.

Just as Li Chenqiu was running, his phone rang.

"His eldest uncle, his second uncle are all his uncles, high… beep!"

Li Chenqiu answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Is this Li Chenqiu?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, it is."

"Hello, hello, we met last night. I'm Zhu Cheng, the one you were pressing under your body."

"Oh~, it's Uncle Zhu. Are you calling to pick me up?"

"Yes, it's the order from above," Zhu Cheng said excitedly on the other end of the phone.

"No need, I can go by myself. I'll take a picture and send it to you when I get there. No need to trouble you to make a trip."

"Ah?" Zhu Cheng was stunned: "This… this registration is very troublesome. It won't work alone!"

"Really, no need. I'm not a child who needs to be watched," Li Chenqiu said with a smile, continuing to decline.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Zhu Cheng's voice sounded.

"Actually… actually, little brother, I just want to follow you into the Special Abilities Division to see. Usually, we in the Public Security Division can't enter the Special Abilities Division. And today is the Special Abilities Division's ability testing day. Your uncle doesn't want to miss it, so please help your uncle!"
