An antique tea room.
Li Yi played with the objects on the coffee table leisurely and contentedly, not paying attention to the resentful eyes across from him.
It was the woman who tried to seduce him just now.
"Mr. Li?"
"Um?"
Li Yi nodded slightly, and seemed to have come back to his senses at this time. From the beginning, he seemed to be looking at the man opposite him, but in fact he was only caring about the soul fire in his palm.
It seems like this thing is expendable.
Internal strength? Angry?
It seems to mean the same thing.
It wasn't until the other party reminded him that he came back to his senses. On the surface, he just nodded slightly, and the expression on his face was much softer than the indifference before.
After all, the other party saved him.
Although even if you are not saved, logically speaking, nothing will happen.
But since the other party rescued him, he was still very grateful.
Although he didn't know why the other party saved him, he wouldn't mind doing a small favor if the other party had any conditions or requirements.
"Tell me, if there's anything I can do to help, just ask."
This was the first time that Li Yi spoke in this tone. He was obviously not very proficient and felt a little fresh.
To be fair, it's quite refreshing to speak in this tone.
Do you feel like a big brother?
The man sitting in front of him seemed to be a well-groomed man. His etiquette and makeup were just right, and he would not cause any discomfort.
The man also spoke very appropriately. When he heard Li Yi speak, he didn't say anything. He just raised his hand to signal, with a very respectful expression on his face.
"Sir, why don't you eat first? Let's talk while we eat?"
Hearing what he said, Li Yi suddenly felt that he was really hungry.
And as soon as this thought came up, there was immediately a burning sensation in his stomach that couldn't help churning, and even made him almost stop grunting.
"That's fine."
As the words fell, the man clapped his hands, the door was pushed open, and several well-dressed waiters filed in immediately, each holding a plate of steaming dishes in their hands, and soon the small meal was The coffee table is filled to the brim.
Li Yi felt the other party's generosity after just a glance.
Apart from anything else, just the rarity of the ingredients in these dishes means that ordinary people cannot afford them.
You must know that although technology has developed to a very high level in this era, the ecological environment has also changed a lot compared to the original Blue Star, and many rare ingredients are on the verge of extinction or have already become extinct.
As for the thirteen dishes on the table, Li Yi just took a quick look and discovered that at least eight of them were based on extinct ingredients!
This made Li Yigao look at the man opposite.
There are not many, if any, people in the entire capital who can do this.
So the guy opposite is from the three major families?
As if he had just come up with this idea, the man opposite him sensed it and spoke.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhao Deming, and I am the talker of the Caotou Gang."
Listening to the other party's serious but insincere words, Li Yi's expression remained unchanged and he did not expose the other party.
"I understand, tell me, what do you want?"
The man was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect Li Yi to be so direct. However, this man named Zhao Deming was obviously an experienced person. He didn't show much emotion towards Li Yi's straightforward attitude and quickly recovered. became normal.
"Okay! Mr. Li is really quick to talk. In that case, Zhao won't say much. This time is just in time. There is really something that needs Mr. Li's help..."
Li Yi listened to the other party's narration while looking at the system interface.
Just now, after this man named Zhao Deming walked in, he first "sized up" the other person with soul fire, and then quickly received a task prompt from the system.
This task made him feel a little surprised, and at the same time, he immediately guessed the origin of the so-called Caotou Gang.
[Zhao Deming, male, 42 years old, is a peripheral member of the Yuan family in the capital city. The actual identity is a white glove of an organization called Dengxianlu, responsible for providing resources and resource sources for the organization. . . . . . 】
The system does not provide much information. Since 1080 left, Li Yi has not ushered in a new system AI. Instead, 1080 has copied a program that is exactly the same as his own as a link between the original host Li Yi and the one who released the task. The link between systems.
However, compared with the original 1080, this system seems very mechanical and does not have that sense of agility.
Li Yi can probably guess the reason why 1080 did this.
He wanted to see if a copy of himself could awaken like him.
It’s not surprising to have this idea. After all, 1080 has met too many omnic companions, but was told that they are just two completely different evolutionary paths.
To put it in a simple and easy-to-understand phrase.
If the evolution of 1080 is a single individual constantly getting stronger, then the so-called "omnics" under the mastermind are just a part of the hive.
Originally, Li Yi thought that after hearing this, 1080 would feel some pride. After all, from a human perspective, isn't this kind of independence what mechanical life most desires to pursue?
But I don't know if it is because the genetic structures of carbon-based and silicon-based life are completely different. Instead of looking happy, 1080 seems to be very worried.
This also led to the fact that when the two parted ways, 1080 deliberately made this move, seemingly to verify something.
But this is a good thing for Li Yi.
The first one is that he has already sent away three self-awakened omnics. Even if there is one more, he doesn't think it is anything big.
Another thing is that it would be quite inconvenient if 1080 just left.
Therefore, Li Yi did not object to the arrangements made by 1080 before leaving, but felt a sense of thoughtfulness.
Although this new copy does not seem to be as flexible as the original 1080, it seems very rigid and mechanical.
But he didn't care.
Originally, the system was just a tool. You could evolve at every turn, and you still wanted to influence the host's thoughts. What do you mean?
Therefore, instead of feeling inconvenienced, Li Yi felt better than before.
Especially after he obtained the Soul Fire. . . . . .
"This is what we want to ask Mr. Li, I don't know if it is okay..."
"I promise you."
Zhao Deming was still thinking about his words and seemed a little hesitant because he didn't know the temper of the young man in front of him.
According to intelligence, this young man named Li Jingze is powerful and moody, and is very difficult to deal with.
Therefore, as soon as he came up, he used the top card of the Caotou Gang, which was the woman who was at the hot spring before.
It's just that the effect doesn't seem to be ideal.
But the other party just listened to his introduction and agreed without any reason.
This caught him a little off guard.
"Mr. Li...are you...going to agree?"
"Otherwise? You mean I still need to think about it?"
Li Yi asked back, then held up his chin, seeming to be talking to himself or to Zhao Deming.
"It's true what you said. Then it seems that I have to think about it again. After all, this is not a trivial matter, um... Yes! Let me think about it!"
After saying that, before the other party could react, Li Yi stood up directly and walked away without even looking at the resentful looking woman.
This series of movements was so smooth and smooth that it seemed very skillful. It didn't even give Zhao Deming a chance to react. When he had time to raise his hand and open his mouth to say something, Li Yi's back had already disappeared into the room.
Zhao Deming never expected that this situation would happen.
One is that the other party agreed so quickly.
Another one is that before he could even open his mouth, the other party took over his words and immediately accepted them.
No matter how experienced Zhao Deming was in dealing with people, he would never have thought of this instant change.
Especially since the other party was described in the intelligence as an inhumane and moody person.
But when I thought about the fact that the other party didn't refuse, speaking of it, the matter was finally done.
It just takes some time.
Thinking of this, Zhao Deming felt relieved.
As long as nothing goes wrong.
