Too Many Women, When Will Some Male Teammates Show Up?

"Jackpot!"

You have drawn the skill "Higher Education Knowledge."

"College knowledge—not a loss. At least it's not vocational school."

Li Aoz consoled himself and continued tearing open the card vouchers.

"Jackpot! A golden legend!"

You have drawn the skill "Agent Gunfighting."

"I don't even know how to use guns. What am I supposed to do with this—again!"

You have drawn the talent—Agile Body.

"Talents aren't a loss!"

Li Aoz continued consoling himself. "Another ten-pull. It'll definitely come out. Offer up your heart for Objective Resonance!"

You have drawn "Ya Wen's Notebook," which records the secrets of a young girl's delicate inner emotions.

You have drawn "ID Card: Yawen."

You have drawn "Yawen's Cafeteria Meal Card."

You have drawn "Spare Battery."

You have drawn "Compressed Biscuit."

You have drawn "Compressed Biscuit."

You have drawn "Compressed Biscuit."

You have drawn "Chains."

"These are my chains!"

Yawen's body went limp, and she immediately discovered that the chains around her had returned to Li Aoz's hands.

"You're going to..."

For a moment, she was a little dazed as she looked at Lioz.

Was he going to let her go?

Instead, he immediately tossed the chains back over and tied her up tightly all over again.

Li Aoz sat back down on the floor, feeling quite pleased. He would never draw cards again.

Should he say his luck was good or bad?

He had drawn ten times. Instead of getting the most common Human Amber, he had drawn things like skills and talents, which were much harder to pull.

Star Abyss's card-drawing system had always been absurd, but it shouldn't have been this absurd.

Based on Li Aoz's accumulated experience as an unlucky player, when a ten-pull failed to produce anything good, then even if you stripped the other party naked, nothing would come out.

More likely, after stripping them naked, the higher drop rate of Human Amber would make the scene turn bizarre and bloody.

As for what Human Amber was... Li Aoz, who cared for children, had no intention of explaining.

"If I run into that guy called Teleki later, he'd better not expect a good time. I have to smack his face in and rip his hood right off!"

A scamming merchant—he had to be a scamming merchant! Two consecutive ten-pulls without a single talent. If that wasn't a scammer, what was? "Don't get tilted. My second mutation is coming soon. Keeping my emotions steady can reduce the chance of it suddenly appearing."

Li Aoz stopped drawing cards. His luck was no good today, so there was no point wasting precious Diamonds here.

The car drove steadily onward. They encountered neither sandstorms nor blizzards along the way, and for a moment, Li Aoz couldn't tell whether his luck was good or bad.

He closed his eyes to rest for a while, calming his emotions in the process. But when he opened them and saw Agent Ya Wen's delicate little face, he felt restless again.

Nomi drove with puffed cheeks, focused solely on stepping on the gas. Qiu Ran wore the expression of someone watching a show, as though she were only missing a bag of sunflower seeds.

Yawen looked around, then her gaze settled on Li Aoz. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to ask:

"Aren't you curious about me?"

"What the hell does that have to do with you?"

"Your power is immense. Other than Captain Nimoting, no one is your match. You're also an Imperial spy, yet you deliberately kept a little agent like me alive..."

Yawen studied Li Aoz's eyes and expression. "Even if you aren't curious, I've become curious—perhaps I seem to have some value to you?"

"Of course you do. You're pretty. If there's a fire later, I can toss you into it to put it out."

Li Aoz tossed out the sarcastic remark perfunctorily.

Yawen merely smiled. "Thank you for the compliment."

Li Aoz paused. He had forgotten this was Frostplate, where relations between men and women were unequal and women's confidence far surpassed men's.

"I wasn't complimenting you."

Li Aoz folded his arms. He truly could not be bothered to interrogate her.

As he ate Compressed Biscuits to replenish his strength, he checked the system. By his calculations, the White Fang Gang should be arriving at Sikkim Settlement soon.

Good. He would toss the tracker he had found on Yawen onto one of the White Fang Gang's vehicles and let them get a taste of Nimoting's Combat Feats.

Stirring up trouble was fun.

As for interrogating Yawen, Mr. Li Aoz had no interest in it.

He knew full well what Law Enforcement Division Four was like.

It was a garbage organization rotten to the core, founded from the very beginning to serve Frostplate's powerful elites and ensure their secure hold on power.

Yawen leaned against the car door, her teal hair spilling down like satin and drawing Qiu Ran's attention.

To her, this pretty, quiet young woman felt far more approachable than Nomi and Mr. Li Aoz, both in attitude and in terms of danger.

After all, one of them was always running his mouth with appalling manners, while the other was quite handsome but killed without batting an eye and smiled all the time.

Compared to those two, Yawen looked like an angel descended to earth, gentle and kind in both bearing and appearance.

"Are you a Law Enforcement Division Four Agent?" she asked curiously.

"Yes, an agent of Law Enforcement Division Four."

Yawen showed no resistance and naturally began chatting with Qiu Ran.

"I heard Law Enforcement Division Four Agents kill men at will. Is that true?"

Qiu Ran curiously poked Yawen's shoulder.

"Have you killed anyone too?"

Yawen's eyes rippled as though a stone had been dropped into a lake. She parted her lips and, after a brief hesitation, admitted:

"I... I haven't killed anyone yet. But my colleagues told me they've all done it."

"That's great. I haven't killed anyone either." Qiu Ran chuckled and pointed at Mr. Li Aoz and Nomi. "Those two have killed so many people, I can't even count them."

"Yeah, yeah, Demon King Nomi kills like it's nothing."

Nomi turned her head and shot Yawen a glare, saying threateningly, "Maybe you'll be the next one to get your skull smashed in~~~"

"What's wrong with killing people?" Mr. Li Aoz spoke without the slightest guilt. "When I kill them, it's because I think highly of them."

He normally could not even be bothered to clear low-level mobs that came to him on their own—Mr. Li Aoz paused.

Ah, he had slipped into a player's arrogance again. What a sin.

Mr. Li Aoz sighed. They said pride was the original sin, and now it seemed it truly was hard to root out. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Those trash mobs... I mean, the people I killed, not a single one of them didn't deserve it."

"I don't dispute that. You had the need and justification to protect yourself."

Yawen nodded. She understood Mr. Li Aoz's motives.

"That's why I'm curious. Why did you, who had been killing without blinking just now, show me mercy—"

"I'm going to sleep."

Mr. Li Aoz moved into the front passenger seat, closed his eyes, and focused on recovering. He did not want to discuss this topic.

Yawen fell silent. Qiu Ran stepped in to smooth things over. "Actually, Mr. Li Aoz isn't that bad. He saved many of us in Nethermark Humanity before."

"As someone from the Empire, he saved Nethermark Humanity's doctors?" Yawen asked in surprise.

An exquisitely self-serving person like Mr. Li Aoz did not seem like the sort of good person who would voluntarily step in to save others.

"He saved plenty of people. Aside from the doctors from Frostplate, most of them were actually patients from the Outlands."

Qiu Ran shrugged.

"My name is Qiu Ran. I used to be a Frostplate citizen too. What's your name?"

"Yawen. Yawen."

Yawen did not hide it. Mr. Li Aoz had just conjured her ID and meal card from his hand as if performing a magic trick.

Qiu Ran asked curiously, "Since you're so pretty and don't want to kill people, why did you take up such a dirty job?"

The eavesdropping Mr. Li Aoz nearly laughed out loud. That was an absolute kill.

Qiu Ran was innocent and honest by nature, making her perfect for playing the good cop.

"This... I have reasons I can't talk about." Yawen did not want to mention them.

"Oh? Little agent, what reasons could you possibly have that you can't talk about? Don't be shy—though I think you'd better understand your position. You're our Outland People prisoner now, not some agent standing above everyone else."

Nomi practically squeezed the words out through her teeth, her hostility unmistakable. "Isn't that right?"

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

Qiu Ran gently patted Yawen's shoulder and comforted her.

"It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat or drink?"

Yawen said, "I brought Compressed Biscuits..."

"You have Compressed Biscuits too?" Mr. Li Aoz immediately opened his eyes and said incredulously, "Just how many did you bring?"

"Fifteen days' worth." Ya Wen tilted her head slightly and looked at Li Aoz. "So you really do have an ability that lets you take things from other people."

"Some things can't be taken."

Li Aoz did not deny it. He turned around from the passenger seat and stared into her golden-green eyes.

Ya Wen met his gaze evenly. After a moment, she suddenly said, "You weren't thinking about that kind of scene, were you—"

"Nothing of the sort. I, Li Aoz, am an upright gentleman. I wouldn't stoop to such indecent acts. Unlike someone who forcibly stole my first kiss..."

"Being so petty won't get you anywhere," Ya Wen said flatly.

"A captive should have the self-awareness of a captive. This is the Outland, not some place where the law can reach. No one would care whether I abused a prisoner or tortured one for information."

Li Aoz rested his head on his arm and said casually, "The reason I haven't done that to you is because of my upbringing and moral principles. It's a testament to my great, noble, and virtuous character."
