Though Many People (including Me) Like To Think That Mr. Qi Is A Human Who Drinks Too Much Iridium Milk

Though many people (including me) like to think that Mr. Qi is a human who drinks too much iridium milk until his skin turns blue, it's very likely he is an alien...

Look at these NPCs and tell me that they are not aliens. THEY ARE. When I saw them, the first thought was that they're aliens chilling out on earth. Think of anime Keroro Gunso. Earth is just another vacation spot for them, and the casino is like an alien-owned business, founded by alien, for aliens.

This is why Mr. Qi wants to keep the club exclusive. This place only welcomes the minds that capable of comprehending something beyond the mundane. Take Welwick for an example. She's a psychic, so she is naturally accustomed to the supernatural.

Now, when Mr. Qi says that he "was born an ordinary boy," we tend to think that he was born a normal human. However, an alien boy would say something like that too. Being born in his own species is nothing special, it's normal. Just like how we're alien to an alien. In their eyes, we are extraordinary, and they are ordinary.

This is why he takes interest in Skull Cavern, Desert dragon, and other stuffs. To him, Earth is enticing, fascinating, exotic.

I personally like the idea of him being human more, since it adds to his obession on perfection and struggle to escape from his own humanity. However, being alien has its charm too.
