016 My Li Aoz Needs Redemption More Than Anyone

"Ugh——"

Li Aoz hugged the trash can, vomiting for a while before he recovered. His mouth was full of a rusty taste, which made him a little dazed.

"Huff… this she-devil has a bit of personal emotion…"

Li Aoz wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth. He felt a throbbing and raised his left hand—the monitoring bracelet fixed on his wrist vibrated for a moment, and the green light flashed three times in succession.

Li Aoz glanced at Nurse Nordly at the finish line, who was writing something with her head down. He was thoughtful and stopped talking.

"The patient underwent a 10-kilometer fast run, 200 touch-height jumps, and 50 single-bar rotations. According to health monitoring: heart rate is normal without abnormalities, consciousness is clear, and all data are within the range of ordinary people, there is nothing superhuman…"

Nordly recorded the data, and her doubts grew deeper:

"Clearly, there are no special mutations in the body, but in a frenzied state, he can sneak into the rear area of the shelter without anyone noticing, and can also knock me down with a single blow… Is a level 5 Esha Infected really that magical?"

She began to believe the Professor's view. From today until now, there have been no obvious extraordinary features on the patient, but everything reveals irrationality.

Last night, Li Aoz's body temperature continued to soar to 75.9°C, lasting for a full 40 minutes, during which the highest even reached 100.2°C! The human body simply cannot withstand such a high temperature, let alone for several minutes. His blood should have boiled long ago, but not only that, after only injecting him with 500cc of saline, his own body began to repair itself.

By this morning, he was even at the level of a normal person?

Nordly couldn't believe it.

If this was really caused by the Esha virus—can a virus really withstand such a high temperature?

This temperature can ignite even alcohol. Ordinary viruses die at 56 degrees, and most microorganisms should be destroyed at 100 degrees. Even the clothes on his body had a tendency to burn.

"Could it be that he has awakened Aura?"

Nordly thought of this possibility, but then denied it:

"No, if he awakened Aura, according to the Esha infection theory, then the Professor should have put him in the level 4 infected group. The Professor knows better than me… but who can say for sure?"

"Let someone take him for a psychological test in the afternoon—might as well do an intelligence test together."

She was a little conflicted.

So far, all research on Esha theory is actually only at the stage of conjecture. After all, no one has the ability to collect those red and black cloud-like substances in the Earth's atmosphere…

Is that really a virus? If it is a virus, who released it? Or is it actually a pollution phenomenon caused by old nuclear tests? The Professor should be the most anxious about the lack of verification of the Esha theory. If she knows that Li Aoz is not infected and still does this…

Nordly had just developed trust in the Professor, and then began to question her theory.

She didn't notice at all that her muttering and facial expressions were being watched by Li Aoz.

His basic skills in stealth are very good. Peeping, eavesdropping, tracking, and stalking are instincts engraved in the DNA of veteran players.

He pretended to continue vomiting and being decadent, but in fact, Li Aoz saw Nordly's performance clearly.

[Interesting…]

Li Aoz's eyes showed a hint of playfulness.

[It seems that the so-called internal division should be a dispute over the Esha theory. Maybe different factions have already split off.]

[Let me guess… the Professor's faction firmly believes in the 'Esha virus infection theory', while Nurse Nordly and others doubt the unverified 'Esha virus'. Maybe they suspect that this is just the Professor's tactic to refuse to delegate power and deliberately insist on it.]

Things became interesting, but Li Aoz didn't consider himself a smart person. He didn't think he could play any tricks in front of the Professor, who had been a leader for decades.

The Professor, who greets people with a smile at the first meeting, has been in control of Nethermark for many years. The combat power of the patients and doctors under her command is no worse than that of the regular army. A person who controls the fate of so many people is definitely not as simple and kind as she looks on the surface.

Plus, with the identity of a scientific worker, Li Aoz has sufficient reason to suspect that the other party's main attribute is [Intelligence].

"[Intelligence] is the only main attribute of the Precision-type. Magicians and Architects lack inheritance on Azure Planet, so it is unlikely. If there is no main profession, then it is either a Mechanic or a Biochemist. Neither of these… are easy to deal with."

Li Aoz's core attribute is [Charm]. This attribute not only enhances Aura, but most importantly, it can directly increase his affinity for outsiders.

Relatively speaking, the [Intelligence] attribute directly strengthens a person's IQ, logical thinking ability, spatial perception, and short-term and long-term memory.

A fool cannot become a [Precision-type]. This is the only professional system that does not depend on talent and can rely on doing problems to overwhelm other competitors.

Li Aoz didn't want to use his weaknesses to compete with others' strengths.

What's more, with his 15 points of Charm, plus the 30% main attribute bonus from Perpetual · Love Hunter, his actual Charm effect is: 15 * 1.3 = 19.5, rounded up to 20 points.

With such high Charm, why not use it to interact with people, chat, and trade, and instead go to fight wits with people? It's like you don't compare your education with Ding Zhen, you compare your smoking with him.

Whether it's Li Aoz or his brain, both would sigh: What a pity.

Li Aoz doesn't want to make any moves on the Professor's side, but others can.

Like Head Nurse Nordly.

Don't think that just because his favorability with Nordly is negative, anyone with a lower Charm stat would be attacked after a few words.

Li Aoz deliberately tested her before, partly to trigger the mission, and partly to test Nordly's reaction.

The fact that Nordly deliberately restrained herself from beating him up when he clearly hit a sore spot is very intriguing.

"Was it the Professor's instruction? No, according to the guide, it clearly states: ZX-102 is Head Nurse Nordly's trigger keyword. How crucial is it? If the front row can't hold aggro, you can directly shout ZX-102, and Nordly can immediately turn around, rage filled, and enter a berserk state."

Li Aoz doesn't believe the marketing accounts that write guides, but he definitely believes the tearful expressions of the players in the front row.

"I only shouted one sentence... she turned around and gave me twenty-four skull-crushing slams in a row!"

The Professor's influence is limited for Nordly, who already questions her, but ZX-102 is not.

"So it seems that my Charm is really working... that sounds a bit strange."

With the blessing of [Perpetual · Love Hunter], the performance of [Charm] in dealing with interactions with story characters can be described as remarkable.

"Having a specialty in hand is just comfortable."
