Because of the three-day validity period of the charm card, Ning Jue was forced to endure harassment for the next two days. Lian Han didn't say much on the other end, only calling her "little brother" and "A-Jue," which made Ning Jue feel both pain and pleasure.
So much so that when Ning Jue wasn't bothered by Lian Han on the fourth day, she was a little surprised and sent a question mark to him.
At this moment, Lian Han was consumed by a frantic questioning. Good heavens! What had she done? Other things aside, knowing Ning Jue liked her, she actually went and harassed him? Had she gone mad?
[System, what kind of crappy card is this? Is this behavior even considered a minor effect? It's practically like a completely different person!]
The card system, unusually well-intentioned yet met with skepticism, paused for a moment, then said, "[I didn't expect the impact of your use to be so profound. But even if it is, you still have to use it, right? If you're not qualified in close combat, you can't enlist in the army, let alone get close to the front lines.]"
Lian Han: ...That actually makes perfect sense. So why do the Zerg need to take hand-to-hand combat tests when they rely on their bio-mechs for warfare? And that's basically just relentlessly pestering them, okay?
[By the way, let me tell you something. Humanity's only enemy is the Zerg, but the Zerg's enemies aren't limited to humans. Even if you join the military, be careful whether you're going to the Federation battlefield or somewhere else.]
Lian Han: ?!
"I think I've heard something incredible. What other enemies does the Zerg have?" Lian Han asked quickly.
The system remained silent.
Lian Han pursed her lips. Fine. If the system won't tell her, she can always ask others. Liz and the others should know.
Just as she stepped out of the room, Ning Jue's question mark appeared. Lian Han's eyelids twitched; she wanted to ignore it. But considering she was going to die sooner or later anyway, she composed herself and asked, "What is it?"
"Are you finally back to normal?"
Lian Han: "...Just three words? How did you figure that out?"
"Just guessing. Can you tell me what happened these past three days?"
Lian Han: ...How is she supposed to explain this?
Lian Han's first use of the Charm card was quite flirtatious, but things got awkward when the card's effect wore off.
"Uh, nothing really happened. Uncle, I was wrong. Just pretend I took the wrong medicine."
"You mentioned using cards before? What cards?"
Thinking of that alluring card, Lian Han said, "...A special card with a rather bizarre effect. But you can't blame me. I went to great lengths to get into the army for the first selection after the Zerg came of age. Anyway, I won't be looking for you again."
She'd rather die than look for him again. She could feel the awkwardness even through the cards, okay?
"So you'll still use this card later?" Ning Jue immediately grasped the crux of the matter. "You've already flirted with me, and now you want to flirt with the Zerg?"
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. Look how sincere I am..."
A knock on the door suddenly sounded, and Lian Han immediately felt relieved. "Uncle, I'm sorry, Uncle, bye-bye. I have something to do, so I'll have to go now."
Ning Jue remained silent. He had only asked a few questions; was it really that scary? Actually, continuing to talk to him like that wouldn't have been a problem...
Lian Han went to open the door, and it was Yi Jun. "He'll be an adult in a couple of days, and Casper wants us to come over and talk to him about the situation."
"Okay, let's go then."
Yi Jun's expression froze for a moment. "Recovered?"
Lian Han: "...Um, sorry about the past two days. I'll be normal until I use the Charm card again."
Actually, compared to Ning Jue, who could only harass remotely, Yi Jun and the others who lived in the same courtyard as her were in a much worse situation.
Of the three, Liz and she were the kind of people who flirted with each other. Whenever Casper wanted to cause trouble, he would just look at her with a smile and remain unmoved. Even Han lost interest after trying a few times, so in the end, it was Yi Jun who got into trouble.
"It's alright." Yi Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go over there quickly."
“Sweetie, come sit down.” Liz beckoned to her.
Lian Han: ...
Lian Han sat expressionlessly next to Casper, drawing a sidelong glance from Liz. "Is your baby acting normal today?"
"Liz, can we forget about what happened these past three days?"
Ever since that day she snuggled into Liz's arms and insisted on marrying her, their relationship has completely deviated from normal. This was entirely the result of her own foolishness.
"No way. This baby is too cute. I even recorded a video of it and I treasure it." Liz covered her mouth and chuckled.
Lian Han: ? ? !!
Lian Han said he was shocked; how could there be such a thing as recording?
"Alright, stop teasing Lian Han. We're here to talk about serious business."
Kasper coughed lightly, "I've been forcing you to study and train all this time, but I haven't explained the specifics clearly. I'll explain it all today."
Hearing him say that, both Lian Han and Yi Jun began to take it seriously.
"When the Zerg spawn reach adulthood, they will face their first conscription. Those who pass this test and enlist will be sent to elite units on the front lines after becoming proficient in using bio-mechs. Your goal now is to pass this test. Of course, due to the characteristics of twin Zerg, as long as Avril, the older sister, passes the test, her younger brother will basically be guaranteed admission."
Lian Han asked hesitantly, "What if—I mean, what if it doesn't pass?"
Kasper gave a gentle smile. “That’s alright. You can wait for the second round of conscription, the third round of conscription… the entry requirements will get lower and lower after that, but that’s pretty much being sent to the front lines as cannon fodder.”
Lian Han: ...She suddenly felt that being a younger sister wasn't so bad after all.
"I'll try."
