  1. Too Many Women, When Will I Get Some Male Teammates

 

"Draw!"

 

[You have obtained the skill 'Advanced Education Knowledge']

 

"University knowledge, not bad. At least it's not vocational school level."

 

Li Aozzi comforted himself and continued tearing the card.

 

"Draw! Legendary Gold!"

 

[You have obtained the skill 'Agent Gunfighting Technique']

 

"I don't even use guns, why learn this—another draw!"

 

[You have obtained the specialization 'Agile']

 

"Specialization is not a loss!"

 

Li Aozzi continued to comfort himself:

 

"Another ten draws, it must come out. Offer my heart for 'Objective Resonance'!"

 

[You have obtained 'Yavanna's Notebook', recording the delicate emotions of a young girl]

 

[You have obtained 'ID: Yavanna Haskisin']

 

[You have obtained 'Yavanna's Cafeteria Card']

 

[You have obtained 'Backup Battery']

 

[You have obtained 'Compressed Biscuit']

 

[You have obtained 'Compressed Biscuit']

 

[You have obtained 'Compressed Biscuit']

 

………

 

[You have obtained 'Chain']

 

"That's my chain!"

 

Yavanna's body loosened, immediately realizing the chain on her had returned to Li Aozzi's hand.

 

"Are you going to..."

 

She was a bit stunned, looking at Li Aozzi.

 

Is he going to let her go?

 

Instead, he threw the chain back at her, tying her up again.

 

Li Aozzi sat back on the ground, feeling great and deciding never to draw cards again.

 

"If I ever meet this Trekie guy, he won't have a good time. I'll pull his mask off and tear him to shreds!"

 

A swindler, must be a swindler!

 

Two consecutive ten-draws without a talent, if that's not a scam, what is?

 

"I can't get worked up. My second mutation is coming soon. Maintaining a stable mood can reduce the chance of it appearing suddenly."

 

Li Aozzi stopped drawing cards, realizing his luck wasn't good today and wasting precious points here was meaningless.

 

The car drove smoothly, with no sandstorms or snowstorms along the way. Li Aozzi couldn't tell if his luck was good or bad.

 

He closed his eyes to rest, calming himself, but when he opened them and saw Yavanna's delicate face, he felt agitated again.

 

Nomi was driving angrily, and Qiu Ran looked like she was watching a show, just missing some popcorn.

 

Yavanna looked around, her gaze finally settling on Li Aozzi. After some hesitation, she decided to ask:

 

"Aren't you curious about me?"

 

"None of your business."

 

"Your power is strong, and except for Captain Nimotin, no one is your match. As an imperial spy, you specifically spared a little agent like me..." Yavanna observed Li Aozzi's eyes and facial expression, "Even if you're not curious, I am—perhaps I have some value to you?"

 

"Of course, you're pretty. I'll throw you into a fire to put it out."

 

Li Aozzi mockingly replied.

 

Yavanna smiled, "Thanks for the compliment."

 

Li Aozzi paused, forgetting that in Frost, gender relations were unequal, with women's confidence far exceeding men's.

 

"I wasn't complimenting you."

 

Li Aozzi crossed his arms, too lazy to interrogate her.

 

He ate a compressed biscuit to replenish his strength while checking the system, calculating that the White Fang gang should be close to the Sikkim settlement.

 

Good, the tracker from Yavanna would be thrown onto the White Fang's vehicle, letting them taste Nimotin's combat skills.

 

Stirring trouble was joy.

 

As for interrogating Yavanna, Li Aozzi had no interest.

 

He was well aware of the situation with Law IV.

 

It was a rotten organization from the start, serving the powerful in Frost.

 

Yavanna leaned against the car door, her blue hair like a satin spread, catching Qiu Ran's attention.

 

To Qiu Ran, this pretty and quiet young lady was more relatable and less dangerous than Nomi and Li Aozzi.

 

After all, one kept cursing, the other, though handsome, killed without hesitation while smiling.

 

Compared to them, Yavanna, with her gentle demeanor and appearance, seemed like an angel.

 

"Are you a Law IV agent?" she asked curiously.

 

"Yes, a Law IV agent."

 

Yavanna didn't resist, naturally chatting with Qiu Ran.

 

"I heard Law IV agents kill men at will, is that true?"

 

Qiu Ran poked Yavanna's shoulder curiously, "Have you killed anyone?"

 

Yavanna's eyes rippled like a stone thrown into a lake. She hesitated but admitted:

 

"I haven't killed anyone yet, but my colleagues say they have."

 

"That's great, I haven't killed anyone either," Qiu Ran laughed, pointing to Li Aozzi and Nomi, "They've killed so many, I've lost count."

 

"Yes, Nomi the demon king kills indiscriminately."

 

Nomi glanced at Yavanna, threateningly, "You might be next to have your skull smashed."

 

"So what if I kill people?" Li Aozzi spoke without guilt, "I consider it a compliment."

 

He wouldn't bother clearing out low-level mobs unless they came to him—Li Aozzi paused.

 

Sigh, again the player's arrogance, my bad.

 

Li Aozzi sighed, knowing arrogance was a fundamental sin, and it was hard to root out.

 

"Those small fries... I mean, I never kill anyone who doesn't deserve it."

 

"I don't argue with that, you have your reasons and needs for self-defense."

 

Yavanna nodded, understanding Li Aozzi's motives.

 

"That's why I'm curious, why did you, who killed without hesitation, spare me?"

 

"I'm going to sleep."

 

Li Aozzi moved to the front passenger seat, closing his eyes, not wanting to discuss this topic.

 

Yavanna hesitated, and Qiu Ran stepped in to mediate, "Actually, Mr. Li Aozzi isn't that bad. He saved many of us at the Abyss Humanitarian Relief."

 

"An imperial saving doctors from the Abyss Humanitarian Relief?" Yavanna was surprised.

 

Li Aozzi, an egotist, didn't seem like someone who'd voluntarily save others.

 

"He saved many, not just doctors from Frost, mostly patients from the outside," Qiu Ran shrugged, "I'm Qiu Ran, a former Frost citizen. What's your name?"

 

"Yavanna, Yavanna Haskisin." Yavanna didn't hide her identity since Li Aozzi had already produced her ID and cafeteria card.

 

Qiu Ran curiously asked:

 

"Given your beauty and reluctance to kill, why did you take on such a dirty job?"

 

Li Aozzi nearly laughed out loud; this was a brutal killshot.

 

Qiu Ran's simple and honest nature was perfect for playing good cop.

 

"I have my reasons," Yavanna didn't want to elaborate.

 

"Hey, little agent, what secrets could you have? Don't hold back—just remember your position, you're a prisoner now, not a high-and-mighty agent."

 

Nomi almost spat the words out, her aggressive tone evident:

 

"Isn't that right?"

 

"Whatever, Nomi, don't be so harsh on her."

 

Qiu Ran gently patted Yavanna's shoulder, comforting her:

 

"It's okay if you don't want to talk—are you hungry? Want something to eat or drink?"

 

Yavanna said, "I have compressed biscuits..."

 

"You still have compressed biscuits?" Li Aozzi opened his eyes, incredulous, "How much did you bring?"

 

"Enough for fifteen days." Yavanna slightly tilted her head, looking at Li Aozzi, "You really can take things from others."

 

"Some things can't be taken."

 

Li Aozzi didn't deny it, turning to the front seat, staring into her golden-green eyes.

 

Yavanna met his gaze without flinching, then suddenly said:

 

"You're thinking of that scenario—"

 

"Absolutely not, I'm a gentleman, I wouldn't stoop so low. Unlike someone who forcibly took my first kiss..."

 

"Small-mindedness won't get you far," Yavanna said calmly.

 

"Prisoners should know their place. This is the outside, not within the law's reach. Torturing or interrogating prisoners, no one cares."

 

Li Aozzi, resting his arm, casually said:

 

"The reason I didn't do anything to you is because of my education and moral principles, reflecting my great, noble qualities."
