I, Li Aozzi, Have Never Betrayed Any Homend
"Hmm," Yavanna smiled, "Your words don't sound like something someoh just a vocational school education would say."
"So what?"
"Li Aozzi, male, Frost, 21 years old, vocational school education, bank security guard, not on good terms with your family. When the police visited, they pined you hadn't sent them any money."
Yavanna said:
"To be ho, from both geiparison and recistration, we couldn't find any evidence linking you to the Red Arrow Empire. But after you left your home in Prosperity Vilge and came to the border city, you showed a pletely different side."
"Toying with spirits, burning the bank, intimidating snakeheads uhe guise of the Rose Army—these as were quid decisive, and ihan five hours, you smuggled yourself out of the try to the outside world. Acc to you, if it weren't for the Abyss Humanitarian Relief taking you in, you might have already tacted people from the Red Arrow Empire, right?"
Qiu Ran widened her eyes, looking at Li Aozzi with admiration.
"So?" Li Aozzi opened one eye, then closed it again, exging a gh Nomi, who rolled her eyes at him, clearly sulking.
"Li Aozzi, biologically, you should still be Li Aozzi."
Yavanna paused and said:
"However, in this age of the i, it's not unon for izens to be iently infiltrated and bought by fn forces. You're very young, easily corrupted by the entig world and the blueprints they draw."
"I want to remind you that the Red Arrow Empire is not as great as the spy anizations that trained you say it is. Many of their lower-css citizens still live in misery. Frost is your true—"
"If you want to vert me, there's no need. Your charm doesn't work on me."
Li Aozzi g Yavanna's delicate face. She indeed looked good, with features, not at all like the weathered and heavily made-up agents of Law IV. Instead, she seemed like a well-mannered, sheltered young dy.
Thinking this, Li Aozzi suddenly had an idea.
[My charisma attribute isn't low, I could just persuade her to join me as an enforcer.]
Why should I snatch it?
Why was my first rea to spend money on draws?
Li Aozzi realized this problem.
Could it be that I was used to being a domineering pyer?
Li Aozzi g his attributes: Strength 6, Dexterity 5, stitution 7, Charisma 21, Willpower 8.
sidering the bes of the specialization [Eversting ? Love Hunter], his Charisma was effectively 27.3, close to the Alpha tier limit.
At this level of Charisma, gaining favorability would be much faster than fur pyers. It would take others three to four months to reach 500 favorability points, and some arrogant NPCs might take two versions' worth of time.
Li Aozzi only needed about ten days.
He recalled the calcution formu between favorability and Charisma, realizing that after flying solo for so long as a Starfall Master, he almost fot how lethal this attribute was to NPCs.
Calg, Li Aozzi estimated that without saying anything wrong or doing anything that touched her principled bottom line, iing for two hours a day, he could win ent Yavanna in just 16 days.
If he advao the Alpha tier and got the tier bonus, it might take less than 10 days.
The more he thought about it, the more se made.
What is the Charisma attribute for?
Enhang the strength of abilities!
Duh! It's for persuading people!
The heads and leaders of ic civilizations, even if they weren't transdent masters, had Charisma no lower than 300.
[With my Charisma attribute, gaining favorability won't be slow. Then, using the White Wax Fantasy Crystal would only cost 168 points—wow, that's a deal!]
The team was missing a soul damage dealer, and the Medium profession could fill that gap.
Anyway, acc to Li Aozzi's thinking, human talent is for team experience gain, no reason not to use it.
He po form ae team in the early and mid-stages, with the best teammate figurations mostly found in the Celestial Ring or Red Arrow.
Like his long-coveted big brother from the Celestial Ring, with high growth potential, the kind that could amaze aliens in the universe.
No other NPC teammate gave him as much security as that big brother.
Nomi, being a raider, had some growth potential and could be used for a while longer until he found a reason to let her go.
Once Qiu Ran got her ability, he wouldn't have to worry about her; she had nothing useful.
Sihese enforcers would eventually be repced, Li Aozzi saw o be too strict. Bringing Yavanna over would add a Medium to the team.
This profession was rare. Although Li Aozzi was half a spellcaster, his gravity abilities primarily dealt physical damage early on, so adding some magic damage would be very cost-effective.
Worst case, she could be a tank or emergency food supply.
Arrogandeed blinds people.
Li Aozzi began to feel fortunate he realized this problem in time.
On one hand, it's better to realize it now than during a battle when things could ge uably.
Who knows, a bck luxury car could show up, and a bunch of rifle-wielding killers could jump out and shoot him down.
Oher hand, from a practical standpoint, coupons were a non-renewable resource, getting scarcer with use.
Coupons were part of the game's trading system, a way for the developer to milk pyers, difficult to grind out on your own without events or dder rewards.
Li Aozzi aimed to save as many coupons as possible.
Once he reached space, those coupons could make him rich ht.
Spending on a 20-draw impulsively was a mistake.
I was wrong, I repent, nacha.
Li Aozzi sighed: times have ged; he o budget carefully.
But thehought something was off.
"I never liked gacha before, just bought the pass and battle pass. Why did I get so hooked this time?"
He had purchased a [Ticket to Trekie's Exhibition Hall] but didn't use it immediately. Instead, he exami closely, turning it over and over until he noticed something.
The ticket's patterns weren't just decorative; they were written in plex runes with special dust. paring them with some symbols in his memory, he figured it out.
"Dragon Language."
Li Aozzi squinted his eyes:
"Although I 't reize the exact meaning, I'm sure these letters are only in Dragon Language."
The dragon ra ic civilizations was very mysterious. Li Aozzi couldn't recall which version they appeared in—though his previous life's gear was mainly made from Void Dragons, the specifics on civilization were unclear.
"This thing shouldn't be touched. Dragon Language has mysterious powers, possibly indug spending or amplifying desires."
If it's the former, fine. If it's the tter—
For the first time since his rebirth, Li Aozzi felt a strong sense of crisis. He hated things spiraling out of his trol. As people said about [Mastery] pyers, they preferred giving up something rather than being trolled by others.
It seemed they were right.
Li Aozzi put away the st [Ticket to Trekie's Exhibition Hall], deg to seal it and not use it again. His mind and willpower were paramount and shouldn't be vioted.
He g Nomi, whose favorability had dropped to 198 points. Nomi was still an important frontline and helper, so he o make it up.
Yavanna seemed normal, with some skills, but essentially just a ret uy graduate.
Trying to persuade and vert him was naive, but uandable. New graduates often held overly optimistic views about society.
Especially those from Frost's top uies, whose experiences and uanding were vastly different from the on people's.
Most of them were like white lotus flowers, overly trusting iate and future, full of youthful vigor—until they quickly discovered the reality of endless overtime and difficult ts.
Yavanna seemed like an ued young dy.
This would be fun.
With this in mind, Li Aozzi carefully sidered his words and said solemnly:
"Frankly, none of the four tries are good. All of them thrive by sug the blood of the lower csses, and 70% of the outside world's current state is due to natural disasters, but the remaining 30% is defihe man-made camity by your Frost!"
[Prompt: Nomi likes this—Favorability +7]
[Nomi's Favorability: 205]
Yavanna insisted, "Li Aozzi, the emperor is a wicked dictator. People 't enjoy fairness—"
"Fairness? The so-called fairness in Frost is all fabricated by those injustices!"
