"Stop nagging, mind your own business."
Number 18 was too lazy to care about such teasing, after all, this guy would cause trouble for him again, so it was best to just ignore him.
"Would you like some small toys to play with?"
At this moment, a ball of light appeared in Lin Qi's hand, which was his domineering aura.
After seeing the ball of light, Number 18 fiddled with it for a while, then sat up with a rare look of interest on his face. After all, this guy was talking about a toy, so it should be interesting.
"What's coming from?"
Lin Qi directly sent the ball of light into the opponent's mind. He was already very familiar with modification, not to mention that someone with the opponent's strength didn't need anything so fancy.
Number 18, seeing the approaching sphere, didn't react much, letting it merge into his body. Then, a very faint power emerged within him. He also sensed the effects of these things in his mind, opened his eyes, and looked at Lin Qi with a strange expression.
"It really is just a toy. Armament Haki and Observation Haki are useless."
"Yeah, the Armed Corps isn't as good as our Ki. Our physical perception and setting-type Ki can completely replace perception. Making that Conqueror's Haki is kind of interesting, we can show off and have some fun."
Number 18 nodded in agreement.
"That thing is indeed interesting. I don't have any moves like mental shock, so I can't use that."
"And I see that the room you provided can crush a person on its own. It seems like you've encountered someone who can't fight back but still wants to get rid of them. This is quite an interesting tactic."
Number 18 sometimes felt very annoyed, after all, this guy demanded that he not cause trouble casually, and when dealing with some guys, the most he could do was put a sack over their heads afterward.
But this trick is different; it allows you to make that person kneel down in public in a crowded place.
It has to be said that she likes this Conqueror's Haki.
"Speaking of which, aren't there Devil Fruits? Are there any that don't have side effects? Like the kind with rules-based abilities, let's get one and play with it."
Lynch: ???
Lin Qi was a little confused after hearing what the other person said. "No, no, really? It feels really strange coming from you. How did you know? I don't think I've ever told you about this before."
"Wait, wait, how do you know about this thing?"
Lin Qi immediately called a halt. How did the other party know about this thing?
Upon hearing this, Number 18 gave Lin Qi a disapproving look.
"You think I don't watch TV? Not to mention, Sagiri is obsessed with that anime. I can't help but watch it here. If someone has Haki, they must have a Devil Fruit."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi realized that something was wrong. He had indeed made a foolish mistake, forgetting that there was someone in the living room looking at this thing normally.
"If you want that thing, I can only say that it's truly not available."
"Hmm, it's too much trouble to bring that thing over. We'd have to modify all sorts of rules, and many of them are conceptual. If we want them to work, it would take a lot of effort. I'm too lazy to deal with that."
"Besides, these are all experimental samples. How would I know if they would cause any problems? So I didn't use any of them."
Number 18 had originally planned to experiment with some conceptual abilities, even though he knew very well that concepts were the strongest, but this guy didn't have any, which was a bit boring.
As the two were chatting, Ruiye put on a dress and came downstairs; she was clearly dressed up carefully.
Lin Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the other person's expression, and he immediately stood up.
"Let's go."
Number 18 had by then returned to a relaxed state and spoke in a leisurely tone.
"If you go out, you can bring back some wine; we've almost finished drinking it."
Number 18 knew very well that the other person originally wanted to ask her to go out, but now it seemed that she probably didn't need to go out. After all, the other person was back, and as a woman herself, she could tell that the other person had dressed up carefully, so she didn't want to join in the fun.
Lin Qi nodded at this moment, and then led his men out.
Ruiye silently followed beside Lin Qi, after all, he realized that it had been a long time since he had seen anything like this.
"Onii-chan, it feels like it's been a long time since I've been out like this."
"Hmm, that's true. I used to choose to go to the places I had set up to cultivate and improve my strength whenever I had time."
"After all, I didn't want this to happen, but I always felt insecure because my strength hadn't reached a certain level before."
Lin Qi readily admitted it.
"what about now?"
"No, I still don't feel safe. After all, I know very well that there are many people who can outmaneuver me. But at this point, it wouldn't hurt to take a break, right?"
"In the past, it could be described as a period of rapid growth, but now, although it is growing faster and faster, the amount of accumulation required is also increasing."
When Lin Qi got to this point, his tone was full of emotion, after all, progress was indeed getting slower and slower, and it was taking a lot of time.
Ruiye didn't quite understand these things, but she could sense that the other person seemed quite troubled by the matter.
"But these things don't matter anymore. Let's go buy some good stuff. I've been away for a while, so I'll cook a big meal."
Upon hearing this, Ruiye smiled brightly and said "okay." Then, the two of them went to the mall and began their shopping spree, buying ingredients and such. After Lin Qi finished buying everything, he secretly stuffed it into his personal space.
Ruiye had been watching this operation for a while and had to admit that it was indeed quite convenient, but it was good that nothing was interfering with it.
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Qi and his partner found a place to sit down and have some snacks. After all, there were still almost four hours before dinner, and having a drink wouldn't hurt. However, they didn't expect to run into an acquaintance.
...
P.S.: Please, handsome guys and beautiful girls, add this to your favorites, recommend it, share it, give it flowers, anything! If you haven't added it yet, please do so, thank you everyone! I'm bowing down to you all!
Chapter 598 was indeed quite a coincidence.
Lin Qi and Ruiye found a place to sit down and planned to have a drink, but while they were drinking, they ran into an acquaintance, or rather, an acquaintance of Lin Qi.
A lively and energetic little dumpling appeared, along with the person next to her—a classic "normie duo"—looking like they were out having fun.
Immediately afterwards, a sharp-eyed little dumpling spotted Lin Qi. After all, with his blond hair and distinctive face, he was easily recognizable.
Yui Yuigahama, noticing her friend seemed unhappy lately, decided to take her out for a stroll to relax. Unexpectedly, they ran into Lin Qi while getting drinks – quite a coincidence! Yui had a strong impression of Lin Qi, not just because of his handsome face, but more importantly, because he had shown her kindness, though she hadn't had the chance to reciprocate.
Yumiko Miura had been feeling anxious and uncertain lately because someone had disappeared without a trace.
Ten months have passed.
For a young girl like 263 who is enjoying her youth, this is tantamount to waiting for a prison sentence.
Yumiko Miura had been thinking for a while now that this guy might just be playing around and then running away. This thought took root and grew stronger with each passing day.
To put it bluntly, it's about suspecting that you've encountered some kind of scumbag, since this kind of behavior is no different from being a scumbag.
This incident has been causing me to be in a bad mood lately, and this energetic guy next to me, who could tell I was in a bad mood, finally persuaded me to come out for a walk to clear my head.
Yumiko Miura knew that the other party meant well, so she did not refuse. When she felt tired and went to get a drink, she was reminded by someone and heard an unbelievable name. In an instant, her eyes fell on the bastard who had turned her into this state more than half a month ago.
"Yui, let's go over there."
At this moment, Miura Yumiko spoke in a calm tone. Even the most perceptive person couldn't detect anything amiss; they were simply good actors. They were clearly incredibly excited inside, even harboring an urge to punch this scumbag, but their demeanor remained unchanged.
Yui Yuigahama had no doubts about this and walked up with the others, greeting them with great enthusiasm.
"Hello."
"Lin Qi, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Hello, Ruiye."
Looking at the energetic little dumpling, Lin Qi greeted it with a smile.
Ruiye greeted Lin Ba'er with a gentle and soft demeanor, a stark contrast to the other person's energetic personality.
"Hi, Yui-kun, what a coincidence to run into you here."
"Hmph, is it polite of you to call someone you don't know well by their name?"
At that moment, Miura Yumiko suddenly spoke up, and she did so in a manner that resembled someone looking for trouble.
Tuanzi was a little pleased that the person in front of her wasn't being kind, but instead calling her by a familiar address. However, seeing her good friend say this, she didn't want a conflict to break out, since she really didn't care and was even a little happy. But the other person, not knowing what trouble might be caused, hurriedly stepped in to act as a peacemaker.
"Yumiko, it doesn't matter, we're all classmates, you can call me whatever you want."
At this moment, Tuanzi spoke with great energy, reaching out her hand and crossing her arms in front of her chest, looking like a proud and arrogant good friend.
Lin Qi felt somewhat helpless when he saw the other party's profile picture. It was obvious that they were looking for trouble. However, considering his previous behavior, those who didn't know the situation would think that he was trying to cover up his mistakes. So he didn't pay any attention to the other party's provocation.
Lin Qi met the other person's gaze. Seeing the other person's cold expression, but with a hint of grievance, anger, and various other emotions in their eyes, Lin Qi suddenly felt uneasy. He knew his own situation best.
To be honest, he's the one who's being more forceful and controlling, but that does make him seem like a jerk.
"Ahem, please have a seat."
Lin Qi coughed twice, then smiled and gestured for him to proceed.
At this moment, Miura Yumiko also sat down opposite Lynch.
At this point, Yui Yuigahama demonstrated her ability to control the atmosphere, starting by ordering drinks.
Throughout the entire process, Ruiye maintained that gentle demeanor. However, she was not stupid; in fact, she understood the person beside her all too well. She knew that there must be some kind of story between the other person and the person in front of her, otherwise, they would never act this way. Especially since she had been the third party watching the interaction between the two, she had also caught the look in the other person's eyes. Why did it look so much like someone who had been dumped by a scumbag?
Ruiye was a little confused at this point. No matter what, the person next to her would never say that he was a scumbag and abandoned her, right?
After all, based on my understanding, although the other person's personality might not be very decent, he couldn't possibly be such a scumbag.
Ruiye said she was quite confident about this, so there must be some misunderstanding.
Ruiye decided to remain silent for now, observe the situation carefully, and then make a decision. After all, remaining silent was the best option at this time, and of course, she also had to cooperate with the other side.
Ruiye felt inexplicably tired at this moment.
