Abnormal Touch (I)
Li Yuebai mercilessly left the twins there. After being pestered by the twins for half the night, he simply decided not to go back to the dormitory and went to a dormitory outside the college.
That's right, he didn't like to go through the door. Anyway, his bedroom was at the edge of the entire mansion, so the strengthened Li Yuebai could easily climb over the wall to get in. Anyway, for a noble illegitimate child like him, probably no one would care what he did, right?
There is someone... It's the white-haired guy squatting in the corner.
Li Yuebai asked curiously, "I didn't say I would be back tonight, why are you here? Don't you have to do the mission?"
The angel's answer was as concise as ever: "I will go during the day."
Could it be that he was waiting for him to travel back and forth between Yalblido and the main city every day?
To be precise, it was actually to protect him.
"Recently, there are more and more alienated people in the marginal areas of the continent." He suddenly said. "It seems that something unusual is happening."
In addition, through various secret information channels of Yalblido, it was learned that the situation in the Azure Continent seemed to have changed quietly.
He even received a mission from the [Imperial City], which is rare.
Li Yuebai asked a few more questions with great interest, but to no avail - he thought it would trigger a new task.
When he asked in depth, the angel just shook his head hesitantly and said, "...I don't know the details."
"Okay, then you...will just sleep here?"
"Yeah." The angel bent his thighs, and his white pupils stared at him silently.
The man who was 195cm tall and curled up in the corner sleeping was quite pitiful.
The angel explained, "This is the best location."
Whether it is assassination or hiding.
...His choice of bed position was really unique. Li Yuebai obviously didn't understand.
Li Yuebai picked up the towel that the angel had heated for him and wiped his face.
Originally, the card could provide him with various services, including washing his face and brushing his teeth, but despite trying hard, it was still too crude to use.
If it's a Gemini, they seem to be quite clever, but too noisy.
Is there no character in this game that is shorter than 1.8 meters?
Li Yuebai, who is 178cm tall, looked at the full moon outside the window and fell into sad thought.
After Li Yuebai fell asleep, the diligent card monsters remained on alert.
…That disgusting smell appeared again.
Ever since he had a master, he could feel that strange power more and more.
Like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
Somehow, he felt that it shouldn't be so early... At least, it should take a few more years.
Is there any change?

"Ah~ I heard that the twins were knocked unconscious and thrown into the bushes yesterday and molested. It really makes people sad to hear it and cry to see it." The blue-haired noble said slowly, holding a birdcage.
As a blue-haired nobleman with an ancient surname of Cavendish, he always does things that are inappropriate (such as raising jewel birds in class), but given his family background and talent, most teachers just turn a blind eye.
"Don't spread rumors." Li Yuebai rolled his eyes.
Cedric, however, came closer and whispered to him, "How did Yuebai do it? Just taught them a lesson like that? Wow, I've been annoyed with them for a long time."
Li Yuebai defended himself: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do it."
Strictly speaking, knocking someone out was their own doing, and drawing was a system requirement. It had nothing to do with Li Yuebai.
A subtle smile appeared on Cedric's lips: "Is that so... I believe whatever Yuebai says. After all, we are friends, right?"
Li Yuebai: "Thank you for your trust."
By the way, does this bird look familiar? But upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem to be.
The blue-haired noble put his hand on his shoulder and smiled maliciously: "Now that this matter is over, can you do me a small favor? You said before that good friends have the rule of helping each other."
Li Yuebai pulled his hand away and said nonchalantly, "Oh, that's true, but there's no time limit for this rule. Maybe next time, when I'm in the mood."
The blue-haired noble was silent for a while, then asked, "So...how long does it take for you to feel the mood?"
Li Yuebai smiled and said, "Do you have that for me?"
"What?" The blue-haired noble was confused.
“That’s it.”
"That...what is that?" The blue-haired noble who thought he was good at seeing through and understanding people's hearts found that after meeting this black-haired young man, he often seemed to be at a loss for words.
Li Yuebai waved his hand: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Anyway, without that thing, I won't be in a good mood and I won't help you.
Are you kidding? If you don't post any quests, do you want him to help you? That's impossible. He has always been the only one who gets free stuff from NPCs, how can he let NPC get free stuff from him?
Although he knew that this was a real different world, due to the existence of the card system, he still couldn't completely regard it as the real world.
Seeing his unwavering face, Cedric could only spread his hands helplessly and said, "Although I don't know what [that] is, I will try my best. Then Yuebai won't reject me, right?"
"Of course." Li Yuebai said.
As long as it is a mission, he will take it without blinking an eye. He is that kind of player.
Cedric smiled: "I'm so happy that I got a real promise..." I haven't felt this way for a long time.
This smile seemed different from usual. Before Li Yuebai could take a closer look, the feeling quickly disappeared.
Before they reached the central fountain of the academy, the twins surrounded him again, one on the left and one on the right.
"Good morning, junior."
The handsome twins were very outgoing. They sniffed left and right and seemed to be very interested in everything about Li Yuebai.
Cedric, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and his expression became meaningful.
"Although I don't know why, we are very fond of our junior."
"I care so much. Whenever I see my junior's face, my heart melts. Whoosh, whoosh, cotton candy."
"I really like my marshmallow-like junior~"
Li Yuebai twitched his lips and interrupted their nonsense: "What do you want from me?"
"Oh, my junior asked me. He is so smart!"
"We are here to extend an invitation—"
"That's right! Junior, please team up with us for this five-school tournament. It doesn't matter if you're a freshman. We will lead you to victory!"
The twins smiled and grabbed his hand, as if they would not let him go until they brought him into their team.
"As for the Five Schools League," the blue-haired noble next to him explained slowly, "usually there are five people in a group, no fewer but no more... The two brothers of the Capet family are known as the shining 'twin stars' of the league. Last year, they formed a two-person group. This group achieved excellent results in last year's league - sixth place. Of course, considering that there are countless outstanding talents in the five schools, the top three are all very terrifying monsters, so this result is very rare."
"That's enough, you annoying egomaniac, shut up." The blond boy's face quickly turned from sunny to cloudy. It seemed that getting the sixth place was not something they were happy about.
"Tsk, Cedric of the Cavendish family, I see this face that brings misfortune again. It looks like today will be another unlucky day."
The twins seemed to have said something unpleasant, and Cedric's smile gradually turned cold.
Li Yuebai watched them quarreling with great interest, but the twins all looked at him: "Dear junior, you must stay away from this guy. He will only bring nightmares to those around him."
"Haven't you heard of his nickname? - [Cedric of Doom]."
Before Li Yuebai could say anything, the blue-haired friend beside him sneered: "What a rude Capet family. It is said that the Capet family was inherited from a butcher. The Capet family has always been cruel and violent. These are the genes of the butcher back then..."
"Oh my, Cedric has been hit in the sore spot."
"We Capet are not such rude people!"
"Alright," Li Yuebai was still thinking about drawing a card, so he quickly stopped the farce. The black-haired young man said to the twins in a warning tone: "I will consider your invitation, but please shut up first, okay?"
As early as when the twins invited him, his game system, which had been inactive for a long time, finally popped up the second main task:
New! [Main Mission 2]: Rank in the top 20 in the Five Schools League. Mission Reward: Gold Obsidian ×5. (Rewards increase as the ranking increases. Top 10: ×15, Top 5: ×25, Top 3: ×35, First Place: ×60).
It seems very interesting.
“Well… okay then.” The blond twins seemed unusually well-behaved in front of him. It was hard to tell whether this was the effect of the [Mark] or the influence of the card’s aura.
"Then let's exchange contact information, junior." The twins took out their respective light computers and exchanged contact information with Li Yuebai.
"I'm Pierce."
"I'm Bailey."
"Junior, please distinguish between the two of us."
Li Yuebai, a patient with severe face blindness who had no chance of distinguishing the two, nodded casually. Anyway, he had the game hints.
"But it doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference."
"Anyway, we always look for junior students together, and we always stay together as a group, doing things that we love to do together."
It's getting more and more outrageous.
Li Yuebai: "...Okay, you guys go first, I have something else to do."
After sending the two twins away, Li Yuebai stared at the blue-haired friend beside him with strange eyes.
Cedric touched his nose and said in the same tone as usual: "What's wrong?"
"You are called Cedric of Doom? Why?" Li Yuebai never considers other people's feelings and always goes straight to the point.
Cedric's eyes wandered for a moment, and he said vaguely: "These twins are like this, attacking others at will..."
"You're called bad luck, is it because you have extremely bad luck?"
Cedric said nothing, just stared at him quietly.
"So that's it?" Li Yuebai, who was born with good luck, thought for a moment, "It's okay. If it is, I don't mind. So can you do me another favor?"
Very sudden.
Cedric: "...If I remember correctly, I just helped you yesterday."
Li Yuebai pretended to be pitiful for a second: "Just now, in order to protect you, I offended the evil sophomores, and told them to shut up! But now you are not even willing to help me with a small favor. Are you really my friend? I..."
Apart from anything else, the phrase "severely offended" was completely contrary to the facts, right? He had seen the two villains looking dejected.
But he said helplessly: "Okay, then you tell me."
"You count down to three seconds, then shout: Draw a card!"
"Draw a card?" Cedric chewed on the word and then did it.
"Three, two, one, draw a card."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuebai quickly clicked on the card drawing.
A gray-white card stands quietly in the card pool.
Li Yuebai glanced at the front of the card... As expected, although he didn't know where this title came from, [Cedric of Doom] really worked...
Although Li Yuebai would draw some useless daily necessities from the card pool, as long as he drew a card, it would never be lower than three stars.
But with the "blessing" of his friend, he drew a strange new card:
*Top Secret File 045*
【Abnormal Touch】

Wow...it turns out there is a one-star card in this game! On the bright side, maybe the blue-haired guy is just the right help for someone like him who needs to collect the entire illustrated book.
"Good brother," Li Yuebai put his arm around Cedric's shoulders and said affectionately, "Come and help me next time, dear Cedric," he said in a confused look.
"...There is no reward for helping you at the moment, so please forgive me for refusing." The blue-haired noble was obviously not used to such intimate contact, so his body stiffened for a moment.
But the player whose mind was full of metaphysics and card drawing didn't care about these worldly distances at all. He hugged her shoulders and hugged her more intimately: "I'm begging you, Sayid, don't care so much."
Li Yuebai smiled with curved eyebrows.
“It’s not worth it.”
"Then what do you want in return?" The black-haired young man from the freeloader party said distressedly: "Well, the most I can give you is a hug, Sayid..."
"No, you don't need to."
A warm body, close breath, soft and sweet words.
The blue-haired noble held onto his wrist unbearably, and although he should have rejected him, he softened his voice and said, "Forget it... If it's not a big deal, you can come to me."
At this time, Li Yuebai didn't understand the annoying thing about this one-star card, so he just clicked to activate it.

[Imperial City], night.
Under the cold and pale moon, the monster suddenly spread its wings, blocking out all the light.
Oh God—before he could even utter a scream of fear, his life was snatched away by the monster that swooped down from the sky.
Blood was spilled on the black land.
The experienced assassin crouched down and lifted his mask.
The face, horrified by death, was covered with dense scales.
It turns out that not only the peripheral continent...even the most central imperial city area has appeared.
Fishman mutant.
