"But the eldest sister didn't. Her tone and eyes both conveyed a simple question."
Humans can't be completely devoid of emotion, which is why I know the boss isn't human...
He immediately turned to Hela to explain,
"Uh, boss, I didn't mean to insult you, I was just saying you... uh..."
But he suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence, as if he didn't know what to say next.
"Well..."
His face flushed bright red instantly, and he turned away awkwardly, his back to the group.
"How embarrassing, how embarrassing! I don't even know what to say."
I should have kept quiet!
They must think I'm weird and they'll talk about me behind my back.
ah--!'
Aidan screamed in embarrassment, but the thought that Hela could read his mind brought back a wave of shame that filled his brain.
It caused his brain to temporarily shut down, and he covered his head, unable to think of anything.
Hela looked at Aidan; it was the first time she had ever seen someone with such a rich inner world.
However, he didn't seem to like me listening to his innermost thoughts; after all, he was my little brother and I had to spoil him.
Hela simply stopped listening to his thoughts.
Tuote adjusted his glasses with interest, giving Aidan his approval.
"This is indeed a way to distinguish between humans and Variant."
While Variant also possess emotions, they do not possess all of the emotions that humans do. In fact, Variant also possess some emotions that humans do not have.
No matter how well it's disguised, there will always be some subtle differences.
The difference is extremely subtle; even someone like me who has dedicated my life to studying Variant would find it difficult to detect.
It must be said that Tuote is quite skilled at praising people.
Hearing his words, Aidan felt much better and tried to restore her face to normal, turning her head back to face him.
"So your special ability is to observe emotions?" Fulan asked.
This time, Aidan didn't ignore him, because he didn't detect any disdain or contempt in Fulan's tone.
No, no, this is just one of my little skills.
My special ability is [ Electronic Fantasy ]...
As he spoke, his voice grew softer, as if he found it difficult to talk about his special ability.
Fulan and Tuote thought about it for a moment, but neither of them had ever heard of this ability.
"Is it impressive?" Hela clearly didn't know either.
Aidan pursed her lips.
"I don't think it's that amazing, but it's quite convenient."
"Give it a try."
Hela didn't really understand what he meant, so she figured it would be better to have Aidan demonstrate it to her directly.
"This..."
For some reason, Aidan hesitated, lowering her head and gripping the game console tightly.
He looked up at Hela, intending to refuse, but then met her eyes, which were so beautiful they seemed unreal.
In the end, he nodded in agreement.
Hela nodded in satisfaction and pointed at Fulan, "You spar with him."
"Oh, it's me again?"
Fulan was devastated. He had just sparred with Hela that afternoon and was almost beaten to a pulp.
Now they're making me spar with someone who's a ' Ten Thousand Stars '? Are they using me as a tool to test their strength?
"No, Boss Hela, how about tomorrow? I really can't take it anymore today!"
Fulan shook his head hastily, putting his hands in front of him, refusing to spar.
Hela narrowed her eyes, just about to control his mind directly at the cellular level, when Tuote suddenly spoke up.
"I think sparring is a good thing. You just got a new weapon, so it's a good opportunity to test your skills."
"And sometimes, a disagreement can lead to friendship, which is a good opportunity to get to know our new companions better."
As she said this, Aidan, who was standing to the side with her head down, felt an even greater liking for Tuote.
This person had been speaking up for me to make me feel less awkward, and besides, there was no malice in his tone.
Aidan's favorability towards Tuote increases by 1;
Fulan had calmed down and regained his senses. He glanced at the knife in his hand, then at Hela's narrowed eyes, and instantly felt a chill. He quickly nodded in agreement.
"I'll hit you! I'll hit you!"
Seeing this, Hela smiled and moved away from the area with Tuote, giving the two of them some space to spar.
Just then, the sun was about to set, and a ray of sunlight shone through the trees onto Fulan and Aidan's faces.
Fulan gripped his knife tightly, assuming a fighting stance, ready to fight.
Aidan placed her game console next to a tree, then faced Fulan.
"Okay, come on."
Special! Special!
The instant he finished speaking, Aidan's body flickered twice, as if a game had glitch.
Then his body became translucent, and a bright red heart flew out from his chest.
Incredibly, this heart shape is pixelated!
bite!
As a system notification sounded, a control panel made of yellow pixels appeared in front of Aidan.
"Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump... Thump! Thump thump thump--!"
Instrumental music, like background music from a game, started playing from nowhere and filled the surroundings.
"??"
Not only Fulan, but everyone else was stunned.
This is like playing a video game! There's even background music?!
Aidan lowered his gaze, not daring to look at the others, and rapidly tapped a gear button on the interface in front of him.
When you drag one of the values to the bottom, the background music disappears.
'How embarrassing! Why do I have such an embarrassing superpower?!'
Tuote watched all this with some curiosity; it was the first time he had ever seen such a peculiar superpower.
Hela is the same; it feels like the game Feng Xuan played before.
Fulan doesn't usually play video games, and he's not particularly interested in Aidan's superpowers; he just finds them absurd and flashy.
After assessing the distance between them, Fulan decisively used his ability to unleash a sword aura, slashing straight at Aidan.
Aidan looked up and saw a silver-white sword aura already in front of him.
The sword energy pierced through Aidan's body.
But Aidan was completely unharmed, passing through the sword energy like a ghost without a physical form.
Fulan's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing.
"Um, if you want to attack me, you have to hit this heart. This is my true form now."
After hesitating for a moment, Aidan decided to tell the other party about her situation.
After all, he's not my enemy; we should get to know each other better.
Fulan's lips twitched; he wondered why this superpower was so flashy and complicated!
Several more sword energies were unleashed, this time targeting the pixelated heart.
The heart-shaped object in front of it nimbly passed through the gaps between the sword energies without being touched.
With a slight lift of Aidan hand, several white dots lit up beneath Fulan's feet.
Fulan sensed something was wrong, stepped on his sword, and flew into the air in an instant.
Sure enough, several white pixelated spears pierced through the light the instant Fulan flew out.
Furthermore, Fulan felt that the other party had deliberately held back, lighting up a few points of light to give him a hint in order to make him realize what was happening.
