Hearing Li Cheng's words, Li Qing's heart trembled. Could it be that Li Cheng had noticed something?
After being exposed by Li Cheng, Li Qing felt a little guilty. After all, other than this body, his soul was not Li Cheng's son.
Li Cheng looked at Li Qing as if he was waiting for him to respond.
Li Qing had lived two lives, so he still had the ability to deal with emergencies. He said meaningfully,"Our family is the richest in the country, and I am your only son. Over the years, something seems to happen to me every year, right?”
Li Cheng nodded. A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes as he said in a low voice,"Be it on the surface or in the dark, I do have many enemies. If they can't deal with me, they'll deal with you. They want my Li family to have no descendants.”
Seeing that Li Cheng had been brought into the ditch, Li Qing continued,"Then tell me, if I were no longer a silkpants and a good-for-nothing, would I still be alive now?”
Li Cheng frowned when he heard this. Then, his eyes lit up and he asked,"Qing `er, do you mean that you were just pretending in the past?”
Li Qing smiled but did not say anything, which was considered to have acknowledged Li Cheng's intentions.
Li Cheng sized up Li Qing again and finally laughed out loud."As expected of my son. Even your father was deceived by you for twenty years. That's a good idea. As an ignorant and incompetent heir, those people indeed won't treat you as a threat.”
Seeming to have thought it through, Li Cheng sat on the chair and asked,""Tell me, when did you awaken? Don't lie to your father. Old Gao and Old Xu have already told me.”
Li Qing thought for a moment and replied," I don't remember the exact time. It was probably when I was seven or eight." One day, I suddenly realized that I ran much faster than others.”
"Seven or eight years old?"
Li Cheng muttered. At that time, he was very busy with his career and did not have time to accompany Li Qing when he was young. He did not dwell on this issue and continued to ask,"How fast can it be?"
Li Qing naturally wouldn't tell the truth. He shrugged and said,""He should have the speed of two Usain Bolts.”
"It's alright." Li Cheng nodded and asked,""Then do you have anything more powerful than ordinary people?”
"No more." Li Qing immediately denied it and then asked his question,"Tell me about the Awakened that you're talking about. Is my ability a special ability?”
"Your speed is a special ability?" Li Cheng shook his head. Think about it, leopards are as fast as you, but is this their special ability? Eagles could see the tracks of their prey within 10 kilometers. Was this their special ability? Strictly speaking, your situation is a genetic mutation that occurred during the evolution of humans. It gives you abilities that ordinary people don't have, and it's not a magical ability.”
After a pause, Li Cheng continued to explain,"Currently, most of the Awakened ones that have been discovered in the world have ordinary abilities such as the five senses, mobility, physical abilities, and recovery abilities. For example, some people could see things within ten kilometers like eagles, some people could hear sounds within ten kilometers, and some people had extraordinary recovery abilities…These abilities seemed magical, but in fact, many species in the world had similar abilities, so they could not be called special abilities.”
"Of course, those with these abilities cannot be treated like ordinary people. We all call them Awakened ones.”
"There are nearly ten billion humans in the world, but there are not many Awakened ones. If we count the entire world, there should not be more than ten thousand people..."
In the end, Li Cheng sighed." I've studied metahumans for most of my life. I never thought that my son would be an metahuman. Fate is really playing tricks on people."”
Research? When Li Qing heard these two words, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine. He laughed dryly and said,"You won't drag me to slaughter and slice me up for research, will you?”
Li Cheng glared at Li Qing and said," There are very few people who are actively awakened. My army only has a hundred or so people. Each of them is a national treasure. How can we drag them to slaughter them?" Besides, you're my son!"
Li Qing smiled awkwardly and asked,""You said that there are active Awakened ones, so there are also passive Awakened ones?”
" Yes," Li Cheng nodded." Some people can be awakened by changing the human genetic chain through drugs. We call them pseudo-awakened or drug awakened." However, the process of awakening a pseudo-metahuman is very dangerous. Not even one in a thousand people can succeed. Moreover, most of the potions now have very serious side effects…Hmm, it doesn't matter if I tell you now. Our Li family has been secretly researching and providing the metahuman potion for you before you were born. Otherwise, do you think that I, a retired soldier, could have developed the Li family into what it is today without the support of the country?”
After listening to Li Cheng's words, Li Qing had a rough understanding of the Metahumans and the relationship between the Li family and the country.
The so-called Awakened ones were just people who had some abilities that were much stronger than ordinary people. They were not immortal techniques or divine techniques.
Speaking of which, Li Qing had overestimated the abilities of Awakened ones. They were far inferior to the abilities given to him by the Invincibility System.
As for the Li family, they were merely the Awakened Research Center directly under the country.
There was no country without a family, so Li Qing did not think there was anything wrong with this. Instead, he felt proud of the Li family's efforts for the country.
Li Cheng suddenly said," Qing 'er, although Metahumans are more powerful than ordinary people, they are not as powerful as firearms. Even if they can't be killed with one shot, can they withstand one?" Therefore, don't think that you're invincible. You should keep a low profile.”
Hearing this, Li Qing could not deny it. He was really invincible!
