017. Fleecing

  Fleeg

  Li Aozi kept a low profile, leveraging his high charisma to effortlessly portray a sunny, siderate, ale personality—traits stereotypically attributed to men from Frosted Land, where a strong female culture iably fentle, non-aggressive men.

  When Nordri spoke the on nguage, it carried a hint of a Frosted Land at, and Li Aozi took advantage of this, deliberately engaging her in versation during leisure moments.

  With his high charisma, Nordri would almost always respond. Li Aozi then dispyed characteristics typical of Frosted Land men, such as saying things like, "What are you doing~~ Oh my, oh my," "Is your Aozi amazing?" and "I practiced security at a bank for two and a half years, and I enjoy singing, dang, rapping, and basketball."

  Li Aozi's judgment was correct.

  In the desote and impoverished ions, there couldn't be many educated people. Despite Nordri's tall and strong appearance, her education level was likely only an undergraduate degree at most.

  Ier regions, where survival is paramount, education naturally falls by the wayside. After chatting with Li Aozi for a while, Nordri iently revealed that she was from Frosted Land.

  Fellow trymen had much to talk about, and without realizing it, Nordri became less harsh towards Li Aozi after getting to know him.

  Li Aozi was also tactful. Though he knew ZX-101 was one of his targets, he avoided mentioning the ZX-102 room, which was a sensitive topic for Nurse Nordri.

  Over time, coupled with Li Aozi's cooperation in training, Nordri's favorability towards him gradually increased to 20 points—reag a level of indifference.

  Assistant Anna would occasionally e by to che Li Aozi, drawing blood and dug tests. After taking indicators, she would also take X-rays.

  Every afternoon, he would be called by psychologist Elni, a gentle and kind older sister who patiently talked to him about his past. Initially, Li Aozi preteo be 'reserved,' 'impatient,' and 'nervous,' but he gradually opened up and began cooperating with her therapy and sultation.

  At night, alone in the isotion ward, Li Aozi secretly practiced maniputing gravity, training himself. Though he wasn't unfamiliar with this Aoneng, his 【Agility】 attribute wasn't high enough, making the practiewhat strenuous.

  "Such a miraculous power."

  Li Aozi tossed a spoon into his palm. With a thought, the spoon hovered 10 timeters above his hand. He gently flicked his hand, and the spoon spun rapidly in a circur motion until his Aoneng points were depleted, causing a slight headache, and the spoon lost its gravity and fell into his palm.

  He pyed this repetitive game with great enjoyment.

  As a humanitarian aid anization, Abyssal's isotion wards naturally didn't have surveilnce cameras. However, his monit bracelet stantly sent his personal health status and information to the doctors.

  This was more useful than mere surveilhrough his heart rate, brainwave frequency, pulse, and temperature, the doctors could easily infer his mental and physical state—whether he was exerg, tense, having a good dream, or a nightmare—all could be deduced.

  However, these doctors overlooked ohing: on Azure Star, only the four nations had the capability to detect traces of Aoneng usage, and gravity manipution was known for its subtle and invisible nature.

  In other words, unless Li Aozi expi himself, no one would know he had mastered an Omega-grade top-tier Aoneng.

  Li Aozi ate, drank, chatted, and had doctors stantly monit his physiological state. He had ample time for exercise every day—aside from the heavy restris on his freedom, there were virtually no problems.

  The doctors collected various samples from him, starting with blood and hair, then moving on to waste, eventually feeding him various drugs and monit his excretions under surveilnce.

  Although Li Aozi appeared somewhat resistant, he didn't actually mind. As the doeticulously observed him like a b rat, he was also them.

  Sometimes he casually inquired about the purpose of the experiments, then acted flicted aant, prompting them to expin further. paring this with his initial versation with the professor revealed many discrepancies and doubts.

  "It's been 13 days."

  Li Aozi scratched a new mark on his bed with a spoon. While ordinary people might feel depressed or even colpse in such a fined enviro with stant monit, it posed no pressure for Li Aozi.

  During the 5.0 version, he had bad luck. Just as his streaming career was starting, he had to meet duration requirements while also pi a new version.

  Although 【Star Desder】 was a solo profession, pi was an activity that only rge guilds could uake. The pressure on Li Aozi, a solo pioneer, was ten to imes that of ordinary pyers.

  To meet his streaming hours and busy with pi, Li Aozi worked overtime for 12 secutive days, with the camera never off. He only left the game to use the bathroom a, single-handedly pleting the pi tasks and earning his monthly streaming sary.

  If not for cooperating with Elni the psychologist's tests, occasionally expressiiments like "It's s alone," "I wish I could i with more people," Li Aozi felt he could stay in Abyssal until the anizatio bankrupt.

  Moreover, he earned 150 tribution points daily. Occasionally, if they drew his blood or he seemed a bit down, he even got ara drumstick at dinner.

  Abyssal Humanitarian was indeed humane. If not for the daily exercise and blood draws, Li Aozi felt he might even have gained weight.

  With various scattered fa tasks, by today, Li Aozi had accumuted 2065 fa tribution points.

  There are many brutal human experiments, but it's rare to see an experimental subject fleece the experimental institution. Li Aozi almost ehe life here.

  "The 【Esha Test Agent - VI Type】 costs 2500 tribution points. I'm still a bit short."

  He g his bread. Over the past few days, his 【stitution】 and 【Strength】 had eacreased by 2 points.

  "Current attribute panel: Strength 6, Agility 5, stitution 7, Charisma 15, Will 8."

  Li Aozi stroked his . pared to ordinary people, his attributes were actually quite high. Ign Aoneng and Charisma, non-transdent athletes would have simir levels.

  The Esha test agent obtained from the Abyssal fa was guarao awaken Aoneng—whether it would awaken Omega-grade was another matter.

  As long as it wasn't the lowest Alpha-grade, Li Aozi could make it work.

  "Actually, as a 【Mutant】, I don't need much equipment, and 【Gravity】 Aoneng is very strong. How about... stirring things up?"

  Doing daily fa tasks was getting b for Li Aozi. He scratched his nails, already pnning to i with plot characters tomorrow.

  Ding ding ding!

  While pting his move, suddenly, there was a light kno the iron window of the isotion ward.

  "Who's there?"

  Li Aozi became vigint. He immediately got out of bed, stuffing his pillow uhe bo create the silhouette of a sleeping person. Theiptoed over, leaning against the wall, using the light seeping through the iron bars to form a faint shadow on the ground resembling a head.

  Someone eering through the bars?

  Li Aozi's gaze moved upward, but he saw no o the bars.

  He remained silent, waiting for a while. The shadow on the ground anxiously shook its head, then knocked on the dain.

  g...

  The door trembled slightly, and the shadow disappeared.

  Just as Li Aozi was about to leave, he noticed something falling from outside the bars.

  He picked it up and saw it rescription slip from Elni, but scribbled all over with random colors. Using the dim light, Li Aozi barely dised the chaoties, realizing that different colored lines, seemingly random, actually had a pattern.

  "Following this li forms a circle, and iher square is the word 'urgent'—wait, this is in on nguage, not to be interpreted with the logic of Yanxia characters... so the real meaning of these two words is..."

  Li Aozi lightly tapped the back of the paper, his gaze serious:

  "Run quickly."
