Lin Qi stood up at this moment, and the six beauties, who were almost being teased by him, spoke in a cheerful tone.
"I'll go cook first, you can sit here for a while."
"There's another one upstairs. I reckon your family's intelligence network should know who it is. When they come down, there's no need for you to be nervous."
When Yozakura Rokumi saw Lin Qi finally stand up and let him go, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if things continued like this, he would definitely swell up, and it would be difficult to explain when she got home.
Putting aside everything else, just look at Brother Xiong Yilang; he's bound to cause trouble. And if the other side is going to cause trouble, they'll most likely be here to get themselves killed.
So it's best to keep things as usual.
The key point is that the act of giving the ring was entirely his own decision, without consulting anyone.
Of course, he didn't regret this at all. His only regret was that he realized his situation wasn't good after he finished delivering the package, and he wasn't sure if Lin Qi would really not be dragged into it by her. However, after seeing Lin Qi's abilities, the heavy weight on his heart finally disappeared.
However, I need to appease my older brothers, older sisters, and younger brothers at home first.
"Okay, Qi Jun, you can go ahead and get busy."
"But are you sure you don't need my help?"
"My cooking skills are pretty good, you know."
Lin Qi was stunned when he heard this.
"Liu Mei, I have a question for you. Don't you know that I'm a very good cook? Even some of the things I've done..."
Yozakura Rokumi was taken aback when she heard this, and then after thinking for a moment, she spoke in a helpless tone.
"Qi Jun, since I'm not here, I don't dare send anyone to monitor you, so I can only occasionally use other methods to get information about you from various sources."
"So I can only know some information about your daily life."
"As for the others, do you think I have the ability to get them?"
...
P.S.: Please, handsome guys and beautiful girls, add this to your favorites, recommend it, share it, and give it flowers! Please do everything you can! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so! Thank you so much! I'm bowing down to you all!
Chapter 235 That thing is no different from an urban legend.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi suddenly seemed to understand, and some of his previous doubts were finally resolved.
"I knew it. No wonder I didn't notice. If I were really being watched, I should have known."
"If they're still collecting it in the same way, then it's not surprising."
At this moment, Yozakura Rokumi pouted and spoke in a dissatisfied tone.
"Qi Jun, what kind of person do you take me for?"
Looking at the girl's accusing expression, Lin Qi immediately smiled and spoke:
"Indeed, I might have misunderstood you a little, but is it really all a misunderstanding? After all, in my memory, I seem to have been secretly photographed from time to time. At most, I thought it was just because I'm good-looking that those people were taking pictures of me. But now that I think about it a little, it doesn't seem quite right."
"It seems like someone has appeared repeatedly before. I was just too lazy to think about it before. That person must be one of your people."
Upon hearing this, Yozakura Rokumi's face froze, and she guiltily looked away.
"Qi, Qi-jun, what are you saying?"
"Haha, maybe it's because you're good-looking that people like to take pictures of you without your consent."
Yozakura Rokumi knew very well that there were some things she absolutely couldn't admit to. She would never admit that she was the one who secretly took the photos. Because she couldn't show herself in public, she plastered Lin Qi's photos everywhere, and even made custom-made body pillows in Lin Qi's image. Sometimes she would stick the photos on the body pillows and rub her face against them.
Lin Qi regretted not being able to investigate why the girl did this. If he had known the reason for doing so, he would have said it was unnecessary, since his room was quite large.
Lin Qi didn't investigate anything further and went to the kitchen to get busy. As time went by, he pushed a Ruiye back.
Ruiye was stunned when she saw someone sitting in the living room. Then she was even more confused when she saw the familiar figure from her memory.
When Yozakura Rokumi saw Mizuha, she immediately greeted her with a happy expression.
Seeing that the other person was thinking about many things, Ruiye realized that there was nothing wrong with him.
Some of them breathed a sigh of relief and then happily chatted with the other party.
After Lin Qi finished preparing the food, he came out to eat, but everyone except Number 18 was still there.
"Oh, still chatting."
"Um.."
"I've got everything sorted out here. I'll be back on the 18th."
"You came back so early today, is there nothing to keep you busy over there?"
Upon hearing this, Suzuka from Dalian Temple rolled her eyes at Lin Qi.
"There's not that much work to do. Even if I have my own people to do it, it's not like I'm always the one doing all the work. The rest of the staff aren't just sitting around doing nothing."
Suzuka from Dalian Temple always felt that this guy had a somewhat distorted understanding of his job.
"I think it's about right. None of the really capable people here hold positions in your organization."
"They're either people who like to stir up trouble, or people who prefer to do other jobs."
"Honestly, the rest of them would be the ones getting beaten up in a 1v1 fight compared to these guys."
Suzuka from Dalian Temple was immediately indignant upon hearing this.
"We're a legitimate organization, are we really that bad?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi shrugged.
"Why would I lie to you? The really capable fighters never went to your area."
"It can only be said that you belong to the T2 and T1 versions. Those T1 peak and T0 versions are simply ignored by everyone, or they are too lazy to work for the people above them."
She was immediately struck by Lin Qi's words.
"Don't scare me. Are there really that many amazing people in the general public?"
Dalianji Suzuka felt that what this guy said was quite dangerous. Maybe he should keep a low profile next time he goes on a mission to avoid getting into trouble?
"They are indeed very powerful to you, capable of influencing a large area, but to me they are all weaklings."
"To be honest, you only have a few people here capable of destroying a country. The only ones who can hold their own are these guys."
"Whether it's a country-destroying level depends on the scale; I'm referring to the kind that would at most wipe out small countries."
"The rest of them think they're so great every day, but in reality they're just noobs."
Lynch didn't hold back and started criticizing.
Dalian Temple Suzuka was utterly devastated.
"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, a person's life is only so long, and it also requires talent and such."
"Not everyone is like you and Sister No. 18."
"You two monsters who blow up planets at the drop of a hat are no match for us, okay? So don't judge us by your standards."
Suzuka from Dalian Temple couldn't help but complain.
Whom do you look down on on this planet?
Are you sure you're not insulting me?
Lin Qi slammed his fist on the table in annoyance at the other person's criticism.
"Damn it! Don't you even know what a metaphor is?"
Suzuka from Dalian Temple rolled her eyes at someone.
Mizuha was used to this situation; after all, the noise level here had increased considerably since Suzuka arrived.
When Yozakura Rokumi heard the two arguing, she was fine at first, but as she listened, she felt something was wrong. How did it go from destroying a country to destroying a star?
Is this serious?
When Suzuka from Dairenji realized she couldn't win the argument, she sat down and took a sip of tea. Then, something occurred to her.
"By the way, I received a message today that seems to indicate that the gods have revived. Do you know what that is?"
"It seems that the deity enshrined in a shrine has appeared to us."
"Moreover, according to the investigators, the pressure emanating from the other party was terrifying."
"I'm quite curious, do things like gods really exist on our planet?"
Only then did Suzuka from Dairenji remember that she should ask this guy about it, since this guy was practically an encyclopedia of knowledge.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi calmly took a sip of tea.
"It depends on how you define God. Let me ask you a question: In the eyes of all of you, what is God?"
When Lin Qi said this, everyone in the audience fell silent. Then, Rui Ye thought for a moment and spoke.
"The kind that is immortal and indestructible?"
"Very powerful."
Suzuka from Dalian Temple spoke.
"omnipotent?"
Yozakura Rokumi also spoke up.
"They are incredibly capable; there's nothing they can't do."
Sagiri also spoke up.
Lin Qi was surprised that the girls' answers were all different, or rather, they were roughly the same.
"Do you think that thing that revived on this planet has that kind of ability? Is it really immortal, really powerful, and can really do whatever it wants?"
Lin Qi's words immediately silenced the girl. After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a very strange tone.
"I must say that what you're thinking is absolutely correct, but for this place, it only exists in stories."
"Right now, apart from me and Number 18, no one else in this world can even explode a star level (Norde). The most powerful thing is just exploding the surface."
"To put it another way, those guys might indeed be gods to you, since they grow and survive based on faith, incense, and the like."
"But in my eyes, that thing is more like some kind of supernatural tale, urban legend or something, that's about it."
"For example, urban legends and such things exist. As long as people don't forget about them, these things won't disappear; they will continue to exist."
"Even if you are killed, you will respawn soon."
"Like those gods, they are actually just spirits, demons, and the like."
"So there's really no need to take it seriously. After all, quite a few of those things are so ugly they're practically monsters! They're the kind that will give you nightmares if you see them at night."
...
P.S.: Please, handsome guys and beautiful girls, add this to your favorites, recommend it, share it, and give it flowers! Please do everything you can! If you haven't added it to your favorites yet, please do so! Thank you so much! I'm bowing down to you all!
Chapter 236 Try to avoid those things if you don't want to have nightmares at night.
"Try not to see those things, after all, they're too ugly. And when it comes to making deals with them, normal gods gain faith, but those things take lives, and might even imprison your soul permanently next to them, who knows?"
"For example, this country claims to have 800 million gods, but they are all just various kinds of demons and spirits that have survived to this day by relying on people's faith or memories. They are all weak and simply live a long time, or they have survived by relying on this ability."
When Lin Qi got to this point, his tone was full of disdain.
Everyone present listened as if they had learned something new.
"Onii-chan, when those people go to shrines to worship, aren't they worshipping some kind of monster or something?"
Ruiye thought of this and couldn't help but speak up, and her tone was very strange, which was a bit shocking.
“It’s different for the 108 Egret, it depends on the situation.”
“I said that many gods were born from the fruits of faith, and these gods certainly have a sequence of goodness. But as I said, for you, these things are indeed gods in a certain sense.”
"After all, the other party might actually protect you and bring you good luck. Like the thing I mentioned before, there are definitely evil gods and monsters."
"But that's only true for you guys. To me, all of them are just like various spirits and demons."
"After all, the stronger you are, the longer you live. In the eyes of ordinary people, you are a god. Even in some weaker worlds according to novels, many guys who are weaker than me can create life and become gods or something."
“You can also see those as gods.”
"So, to sum it up, it depends on how you define it."
"To sum it up in one sentence, a so-called god is simply someone who is strong enough and lives long enough!"
