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

"Walls have ears," that's what Li Chenqiu meant.

Li Ji glared at Li Chenqiu fiercely before returning to his seat.

Speaking recklessly in an unfamiliar environment, it would be fine if no one noticed, but once discovered, it would be impossible to survive in human society. Li Ji wasn't stupid and naturally knew what was important.

"Nothing is greater than eating! Don't think about unnecessary things. Little Qiu, come over and eat!"

Li Qingxia trotted forward, took Li Chenqiu's hand, and sat him down in a chair. She continued at the dining table with a smile:

"Let's just stay here for a few days, eat and drink well. Boss, how long has it been since you rested? Take this opportunity to relax."

Li Ji rolled his eyes at Li Qingxia, "Eat your food, you talk too much nonsense!"

......

......

In the days that followed, the public outcry grew louder and louder. Li Chenqiu, an ordinary name, became like a rising star, occupying all the news headlines in City 11 overnight.

He became the focus of public opinion and the subject of people's discussions during their leisure time.

"That fried rice restaurant hasn't been open for days. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of that Chosen One."

"How could it be open? Look at all the reporters lurking in every direction. The neighboring hotels are full of people from the academy recruitment. How could they operate in this situation?"

"To shatter the power measuring device with one punch, that's really twisted! I wish I could become a Chosen One like that."

"Go back and drink more alcohol; you can have anything in your dreams."

"Speaking of which, Li Chenqiu's background is really pitiful. He was abandoned by his parents at a young age and picked up food from the garbage to survive, growing up little by little. Now, he's been adopted by the fried rice restaurant, and finally has a home!"

"It can be considered the end of suffering. After enduring so much hardship, he can finally live a good life."

What these people didn't know was that the child they were talking about, the one who picked up food from the garbage, had long since starved to death on a cold winter night. However, his appearance still existed and was given the name Li Chenqiu.

Outside, there was storm and stress; inside the hotel, all was quiet.

The three of them honestly stayed inside, focusing all their attention on eating.

Especially Li Chenqiu; if he wasn't sleeping, he was definitely eating meat.

It wasn't that Li Chenqiu wanted to take advantage, but because of a phone call a few days prior.

On the afternoon of the day Zhu Cheng was sent away, Li Chenqiu received a call from Wu Shan of the Public Security Bureau.

The DNA test report was out. No corresponding person was found in the DNA database, which meant that the person in the hotel room on the fourth floor that night was very likely a Reviver or a Chosen One.

After that, he learned from Li Qingxia that several high schools in City 11 had organized a bonfire party to relieve the pressure on senior students preparing for the college entrance examination.

The location of the party was set on North Huangshan Mountain, and the time was exactly April 16th, circled on the hotel calendar.

This also indicated that the mysterious person in the hotel was not targeting him, but the Fourth High School!

Who would secretly monitor the Fourth High School and specifically circle April 16th on the calendar?

There was only one possibility: someone with an agenda. As for whether this person was a Chosen One protecting the students or a Reviver wanting to slaughter them, Li Chenqiu didn't care.

He only cared about one thing: if they were going to attack thousands of students, wouldn't that mean a large number of beings above the forbidden level might appear on North Huangshan Mountain on April 16th?

To color the palace murals, he needed to kill. North Huangshan Mountain might be a stepping stone to increase his strength.

To prepare for this uncertain battle, eating meat to replenish life energy and improve physical functions was the only thing Li Chenqiu could do now.

In the hotel room, Li Chenqiu sat by the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of coffee, looking down at the humans like ants from above. The three o'clock sunlight refracted through the glass onto his face, adding a hint of false warmth to his indifferent eyes.

Li Qingxia walked over from the sofa and patted Li Chenqiu on the shoulder, "The bus stop location has been sent to me, let's go over!"

Li Chenqiu finished the coffee in one gulp, stood up and said, "Send me the location; I'll go alone."

"Alone?" Li Qingxia raised an eyebrow, "Who told you it's just you? I also registered."

Li Chenqiu turned around in surprise, "You're also going to North Huangshan Mountain to be a security guard?"

"Yeah, 250 yuan for 7 hours from 6 pm to 1 am, including food, accommodation, and transportation. How could I miss this kind of daily-paid part-time job?" Li Qingxia said matter-of-factly.

"Don't go; stay at the hotel and keep the boss company. Let me see the address," Li Chenqiu said, reaching for Li Qingxia's phone.

"What are you doing?" Li Qingxia took a step back, "Is it up to you whether I go or not? You're just a younger brother; can you control me?"

"You..." Li Chenqiu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to hit her and said calmly, "There might be some danger on this trip to North Huangshan Mountain. It's not safe for you to go."

Li Qingxia's eyes narrowed at these words, and she asked in a deep voice, "What danger?"

"I don't know, but there's danger anyway." Li Chenqiu shook his head, and after a while, he added, "It might be very dangerous."

"Then what are you going for? You can't go!" Li Qingxia said firmly, and at the same time, she deleted the address information on her phone before Li Chenqiu could react.

"I've deleted the address. Don't even think about the part-time job. If you dare to go to North Huangshan Mountain alone, I'll tell the boss."

Li Chenqiu: "..."

"You're in your twenties; why are you acting like a child? I'm definitely going today. Whether you tell me the address or not doesn't affect anything, it's just a matter of convenience or inconvenience," Li Chenqiu said firmly.

"You, you... Knowing there's danger, why are you still going?"

Li Chenqiu said matter-of-factly, "Why can't I go? It's not dangerous for me; on the contrary, it's beneficial."

Li Qingxia hesitated for a while, then forced herself to say, "Then I'm going too. I have to keep an eye on you!"

"Second brother, don't you have any idea about your own level? If we encounter danger, I won't have time to protect you; what will you do?"

"My eyes see farther than yours. Do I need you to protect me? I'll run away if there's danger!"

......

After Li Qingxia's forceful argument, Li Chenqiu finally agreed.

After leaving a note for Li Ji, the two went to the stop for the security shuttle bus.

Five buses that had not yet started were parked on the wide roadside.

Li Chenqiu, wearing a mask, saw this scene and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. He asked Li Qingxia beside him, "Are all five of these buses for security guards?"

"How would I know? Let's go ask later," Li Qingxia muttered, leading Li Chenqiu to the door of a bus.

"Name?" A young man squatting in front of the bus asked without looking up.

"Li Dashan. This is my younger brother, Li Dahai," Li Qingxia said with a smile, pointing to Li Chenqiu.

Because Li Chenqiu was too famous, Li Qingxia used fake names when registering the information. Li Chenqiu wore a mask for the same reason.

As for why he didn't change his appearance, it wasn't that Li Chenqiu didn't want to, but that he couldn't.

The urban area of City 11 is basically fully covered by surveillance. Li Chenqiu's figure will always be exposed under surveillance. Even if he changes his appearance, he can't truly hide. If someone really wants to investigate him, they will definitely be able to find some clues by following the trail.

Moreover, there is a high probability that he will expose his ability to change his appearance, and may even allow interested people to associate it with the disaster water that appeared out of thin air.

The reason why the Lujiang Bridge incident wasn't discovered last time was because Li Chenqiu had buried his clothes on the bank of the Lujiang River in advance, and went to the Lujiang Bridge by avoiding all surveillance through the river flow, so the Special Abilities Division couldn't find any clues afterwards.

But this time there was no Lujiang River. In that case, it would be better to just cover it up casually and be generous.

If he encounters Revivers on North Huangshan Mountain, he will generously reveal his true face and purge them. If he encounters Chosen Ones, he will find opportunities to kill them. Anyway, there are not many surveillance cameras on the mountain, as long as he doesn't leave any traces.
