Chapter 52: 040. Being Hunted at High Speed_3

[You gained 1200 Experience points]

After leveling up, though there was no longer an experience penalty for teaming up with Nomi, the difference in levels with the enemies was less significant, so the experience gained was also reduced.

"Not bad, it’s like having the chance of a mutation reset after every four or five female agents."

Li Aozi did some calculations in his mind. Since he lacked means of harvesting in the early stage, the main source of experience would still have to come from completing tasks.

Gravitational Arcane Energy enabled him to challenge some elite enemies above his level, but it was hard to receive 100% of the experience benefits. Fortunately, he had two human teammates, which increased his experience gains.

If his team wasn’t humans but wild beasts or animals, then the gain would have been pitiful. There weren’t many species across the cosmos that could aid in experience and growth like humans could.

"Your ability is really handy!"

Nomi couldn’t stop smiling. She patted Li Aozi on the shoulder and casually slung an arm around his neck, looking exceedingly happy.

However, the next moment, she said nonchalantly,

"Red Arrow’s sweetheart, how many lies have you told me?"

"Maybe even the name Li Aozi is fake."

"Oh, so that’s how it is, Fake Li Aozi. Why don’t you change your name to Vosch Pianze? After all, the name Li Aozi itself is pretty crude, weird, and ugly."

"Then how about dropping the ’Ao’ and just calling you Li Zi?"

"Li Zi?" Nomi giggled elongating the sound, her voice turning shrill, "Little Li Zi~~ sounds nice, quite like a eunuch."

"That’s exactly why I added ’Ao’—speaking of which, I had my fortune told once, and they said my fate lacked water, so adding ’Ao’, hmm, feels much better now, more moisturized."

"I can’t see where you got moisturized, acting all high and mighty, not a single word of truth."

Li Aozi just laughed, not taking it to heart. The two chatted and laughed, lightening the atmosphere considerably.

"If it really comes down to it, just treat it as if I’m always lying—special reminder: this sentence is not a lie,"

He looked at Nomi’s 201 （fond）favorability rating, crossed his arms, and said nothing.

Nomi gave him a glare, tightened her hold on his neck, and said grumpily,

"Tch—You, always spouting nothing but lies. Tell me then, do you like women?"

"Not sure, looks like someone is aiming at us."

"Answer me, you jerk! Just tell me if you actually like women or not."

Nomi glared at him,

"Tell the truth."

"That’s hard to say."

Li Aozi pondered and recalled:

"When I first got into anime, I thought I liked older women, then I heard that lolis are treasures, later on tsundere lolis got out of trend, and I was pulled to like beautiful girls with long black hair."

’What about white hair?’

Nomi murmured softly, her protein-colored hair whirling in the wind.

Li Aozi didn’t hear her and continued recalling,

"Later a fan sent me a photo of a JK, I was thrilled, thinking I had a female fan. Just when I was sure of my liking for JK girls, he sent me a voice message with a strong Tianjin accent: ’Bro, do you like my crossdressing? I also have Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi, which one would you like to see? No need to look for pretty sisters outside, just find me.’"

Li Aozi pondered for a moment and said:

"Later I realized, gender didn’t matter, species not so much either, actually, as long as they look good, I can accept them."

Crack!

"Hey, don’t freak out here, you’re going to break the steering wheel!"
