Triangle Town The coffee here does not add sugar, but some cinnamon powder. Since it is not distilled water, the coffee tastes obviously mineral and astringent in the mouth. The smooth cinnamon powder can cover up the stinging feeling of hard water through the strong aroma.

Li Aoz walked into the conference room under the guidance of Auckland Lord. The first thing that caught his eye were four or five [biochemists] wearing special bulletproof protective gear and white coats. Each of them had obvious transformations. Traces include eel-like biological high-voltage electricity, imitation spider silk gloves, and insect-like exoskeleton arm guards. Everyone looks a bit human, but Li Aoz estimates that the degree of transformation of each of them is no less than that of Infant Eater.

These [Biochemists] are both male and female, and even have the faces of Red Arrow and Zhengxu. They are all like Juan Wang Xueba. They all wear the uniforms of a research institution affiliated to Nethermark Heavy Industries, as if they are employees of some NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations, non-governmental organizations).

In fact, judging from the nature of Nethermark Heavy Industries, it is more like a GTB focusing on biochemical technology. Its main purpose is to gather global power to develop and promote the progress of bioengineering technology.

A major feature of the [Fine Arts] system is that the more profound the knowledge they master, the more powerful Combat Power will be. In turn, they can acquire new knowledge through Combat Power, forming an extremely efficient virtuous cycle. In the later stages, the extraordinary people of the [Fine Arts] system are often smarter than others and can fight better than others.

Now, these biochemical talents from all over the world are like escorts surrounding a graceful, graceful woman with gray hair and green eyes who exudes the charm of a mature woman.

"Gui'an, 'catastrophe' Mr. Li Aoz."

The woman was sitting casually on the sofa. She was not dressed like a [Biochemist] wearing heavy armor and a white coat with five layers of bulletproof panels. Instead, she was wearing a purple-blue-white gradient evening dress that exposed a lot of skin, as if the canopy of the starry night was covered on her body.

She wears a tulle shawl, walks barefoot on the wool carpet, and wears bracelets woven from unknown herbs on her white wrists and ankles. The fresh and psychedelic plant ornaments paired with her delicate body do not look cheap at all, but rather fashionable.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, much younger than the professor, and even looked younger than the war-torn Li Aoz at first glance. Her gray hair was mixed with a few fluorescent Neural Link tubes. She was beautiful, but also had a sci-fi atmosphere. Her green eyes were as smart as a cat, and her long eyelashes were slightly fluttering, making her even more beautiful.

But Li Aoz knows one thing: never guess the age of [Biochemist].

The younger and more beautiful the [Biochemists] are, the further they go in the field of biochemical science. They have enough confidence and strength to dare to transform themselves. Therefore, their beautiful appearance is the most direct tool for them to show their strength and status.

Mingji's professor is over 90 years old, but she can still maintain the beautiful face and youthful body of about 30 years old, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes have proven that she has completely reached the end of her life - and the teacher in front of her is Nethermark Professor.

In terms of age, he is at least thirty years older than the professor? It's even possible to be forty, fifty or even a hundred years old.

Lifespan is meaningless to extraordinary beings. The path is always Path to Divinity. At some point, there is no difference between a child of a few years old and an elf of several hundred years old.

"When we first meet, you can call me N4 - of course, the outside world generally calls me 'Pioneer'."

N4 stood up lazily, her soft body making people really worried that she would be injured if she stepped on the cold floor. She walked slowly, her emerald green eyes seemed to be able to see through the skin. After exchanging a few looks with Li Aoz, she seemed to suddenly understand something. She put her legs together and turned her face sideways. She was clearly in front of Li Aoz, but she did nothing, pretending to be indifferent.

Li Aoz originally had his arms folded, but when he saw N4's expression of understanding, he suddenly realized that his action meant 'alertness', so he lowered his arms, took off his gloves on his own initiative, and stretched out his hand.

"Li Aoz."

He introduced simply.

The air was filled with the deep aroma of cinnamon coffee, and the flames of the stove were burning, but there was no feeling of warmth at all.

When N4 saw that he had lowered his guard, a half-smiling expression immediately appeared on his face. She shook Li Aoz's hand. It was cold to the touch, completely different from Alexia's warmth that melted winter snow, which made Li Aoz feel slightly unhappy.

——He doesn't like this woman. It's engraved in his instinct. [Mutant]'s discomfort with natural enemies like [Biochemist] makes Li Aoz's muscles tense all the time, in a state of preparation for battle.

At this moment, the tall girl suddenly stood up on her tiptoes, bringing with her a burst of lavender aroma, falling on Li Aoz's shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you."

Her voice was like mixing smoothie and juice. It was clearly blowing warm air in her ears, but it seemed to send a refreshing feeling to her heels all of a sudden. Li Aoz felt her ears buzzing and her spine felt numb.

"Or is it that Mr. Li Aoz is enjoying us like this?"

[You have been 'charmed' once...determination pending...]

[Feat·[Arbitrary] activates!]

[Judgment is a great success! You are immune to the charm effect and are conscious.]

N4's [Charm] is very high, at least not less than 60 points - but for Li Aoz, who has a full 100.1 points of [Charm] actual income, this is not enough to charm him.

If it were any other ordinary person, I'm afraid they would really bow down to N4's bare feet as smooth and translucent as pearls, and be completely conquered by this veritable ice muscle and jade bone.

The more she tried to persuade Li Aoz not to be nervous, the more Li Aoz concentrated on it and did not dare to be careless at all.

Apart from [Charm], N4's [Intelligence] is even more terrifying.

But since N4 is testing himself with [Charm] - then Li Aoz is welcome.

He suddenly grabbed N4's palm, lowered his head, and kissed the back of the other person's hand gently. Runes flashed in his gray eyes, revealing a magical color that was beyond Azure Planet People's cognitive perspective and completely different from technology.

"Forgive me for being shy, Ms. N4. When I see a beauty, I don't know how to reply."

When Li Aoz opened his mouth, his tone was full of undoubted aggression. [Charm] was fully activated. As soon as he turned to the offensive, he moved slightly closer to the opponent's cheek, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed an approachable smile, "Fortunately, you Your beauty is not dazzling at all, and it has dispelled all my nervousness and worries. I mean, you are as beautiful as a carbonated soda just taken out of the refrigerator, but without the air conditioning and carbonation, the stunningness will no longer exist."

Since covering Nethermark Professor's [Persona Deduction], Li Aoz found that he would talk like Nethermark Professor from time to time, with an indescribable feeling.

Now after meeting N4, he understands - all the women in Nethermark Humanity are all PUA masters!

Although N4's [Intelligence] level was high enough, Li Aoz's extraordinary [Charm] also caught her off guard. When she withdrew her palm, a feeling of 'lost soul' flashed across her face, and then she was full of interest.

"I have admired the name Mr. Li Aoz for a long time and have always wanted to meet you. As expected, you are even more beautiful in person than in the video. You are really a pretty little beauty with an upright appearance."

"I don't dare to take it seriously, but it's Ms. N4. As soon as I saw you, I felt that I liked you from the bottom of my heart, like a sister and like a family member." Li Aoz smiled at Yan Yan, and naturally revealed his purpose. "If you have anything to say, just say it openly. I will treat you as my sister."

"You little beauty, even if you are pretty, I didn't expect you have a sweet mouth."

N4 chuckled, but covered it up calmly. She put one hand on her hips and her eyes fell on the coffee on the table. She immediately squatted in front of the table like a girl, picked up the coffee cup, and took a deep breath of the aroma, as if the warm air warmed her heart.

"It tastes so sweet, cinnamon and coffee are a perfect match - Li Aoz come and try the taste of this coffee too."

She turned her back to Li Aoz, turned her head, her green eyes were full of excitement:

"Come on. I want to give you all my time today."

At this point, Li Aoz understood what she was thinking.

She is constantly whetting her appetite, creating a sense of mystery and stimulating curiosity. Her next words are to throw out seductive information bit by bit to pull herself on board.

"Ms. N4," Li Aoz said, "We are all our own people. I guess you don't care about the professor's death."

——Like to slow down the pace? Li Aoz will blow you away directly! He scanned it with [Eye of Truth], and it showed that the N4 Main Class was a lv.80 [Biochemist], with [Intelligence] 99, [Physique] 86, [Charm] 63, and the attributes were very impressive.

However, [Intelligence] itself is not a directly affected attribute. Li Aoz's [Intelligence] is only 7 points, which is not enough for Frostplate to go to college. This does not prevent him from using his rich experience and powerful [Charisma] to operate.

In nature, [Charm], [Strength], and [Physique] are the core and most directly effective attributes, while [Intelligence] needs to be reflected indirectly through language, tools, and operations.

What's more, the skill [Aura of Goodwill] takes effect passively, so that all words and actions of Li Aoz will not be subjectively malicious in the eyes of others.

"Well..." N4's tail sound is long and drawn out, like a lazy cat.

"Do I treat you like family, or do you not trust me?"

Li Aoz raised his hand pitifully. "I know that you are a [Biochemist] who is full of diseases and toxins, and you are someone who kills students for festivals. Even we are not even compatriots and compatriots. Even so - I see you, even though I know that you may be in danger, I still choose to trust you."
