Chapter 90: Anti-Personnel Special Attack: Arturo
Although it is spring.
But the desolate borderland at night was still so cold that Li Ji shivered slightly and breathed warm air into his hands.
He had thought things would get a little better in the spring, since this was, after all, just wasteland, not a desert.
"I didn't expect it to be this cold tonight. I should have brought an extra layer."
Li Ji trembled as he watched the system's prompts repeatedly popping up above his head with amusement.

Although the cold is on the skin, it warms the heart!
Watching his little treasure trove steadily increase brought back memories of the joy Li Ji had when he farmed Platinum Sons and hired crows in the Blood Monarch Mongwin's Dynasty.
Now Ines is his longbow and arrows, and Arturo is his divine body transformed into a sword.
He tested Arturo's skills before he arrived, because he wasn't quite sure how much influence Arturo's skill range could have.
He conducted one-hour tests on both his own operators and the 'human trainees' who were willing to participate in the tests.
The test results showed that the mental effects of apoptosis damage were negligible for the 'Terra people', but almost devastating for 'people' with weaker willpower.
The intense pain and the 'pause' effect it causes are many times more effective than in humans with weaker willpower than in Terrans!
Just like Arturo's Originium Arts, the weaker the mind, the more obvious the effect.
Just like before.
However, the weakness is also obvious... This situation can be avoided by simply plugging your ears and turning down Arturo's music to the lowest possible volume.
They are not even affected by apoptosis.
So it's estimated that this money-making method will only be available tonight. After tonight, it'll probably be fixed by the Fusion faction...
"No, I have to take advantage of this time and go somewhere else to earn some more money!"
Since I'm a member of the integration faction anyway, I might as well spend the money.
As for humanitarianism and the fact that the lives of those who advocate integration are also lives... what does that have to do with a member of an extremist organization?
They've all become part of the integration faction, so why shouldn't Li Ji submit to them?
Just as Li Ji was pondering where to go to farm money, he felt as if some weight had suddenly appeared behind him.
"Ok?"
When Li Ji turned around, he realized that Arturo had somehow wrapped his arms around him, and her slender hands were even holding Li Ji's hands, which were trembling from the cold.
"Your fingers are getting a little stiff, Dr. Wanfeng," Arturo said to Li Ji with a slight smile. "How are you feeling now?"
Before Li Ji could answer, another hand appeared in his field of vision and lifted Arturo, who was right behind him, up.
Jian first placed Arturo beside him, separating Arturo from Li Ji, and then draped his coat over Li Ji's shoulders.
"You're back from the reconnaissance mission! Aren't you cold?"
Li Ji looked at Jian, who had returned after surveying the surroundings. He wanted to refuse her coat, but Jian insisted on putting it on Li Ji.
"It's nothing compared to Sherag; your health is the most important thing."
Jian shook his head and said gently.
But when she turned to Arturo, her tone hardened again. "Arturo, perhaps I should call Federico over to teach you how to behave properly as an assistant?"
"You've ruined the atmosphere I worked so hard to create."
Arturo closed his eyes and sighed softly. "Besides, if you really want to find someone who 'follows the rules,' it's not Ferdi's turn, is it?"
She seemed to have remembered something, and the corners of her mouth remained turned up in a smile.
"That day I saw him, who is usually so straightforward, give a flower to Dr. Wanfeng."
"For Federico, it was just an act of decorating the office as an assistant."
Flame Shadow Reeds appeared behind the two of them at some point.
"That's hard to say. Why don't you ask Dr. Wanfeng?"
After Arturo finished speaking, the three of them looked at Li Ji at the same time.
"?"
Wan Feng never expected that the fire would spread back to him. He looked at the three of them, then pointed at himself, "What does this have to do with me?! Don't think of my relationship with Federico as something so strange, okay? My sexual orientation is normal!"
Li Ji was somewhat troubled. Arturo's special attack on people was truly remarkable in every aspect, seemingly covering both enemies and allies.
"Okay, so if you had to choose among the three of us, who would you choose?"
Seemingly having fallen for her trap, Arturo immediately pressed his advantage, asking a question that silenced everyone present.
To everyone's surprise, Li Ji gave a resolute answer to the question.
"Flame Shadow Reed!"
"what!?"
The Flame Shadow Reed, who had been called upon, was caught off guard by the sudden confession. Its tail swayed behind it, and it blushed so much that it dared not look at Li Ji in front of it.
Why reeds?
Arturo seemed very confident, asking Li Ji without any discouragement, as if she was absolutely certain she would get the answer she wanted.
"Because she's super-sized, her second skill deals a total of 14 damage, and she excels at both healing and resistance reduction, making her a triple threat in both daily and high-difficulty Rogue modes!"
Faced with Arturo's question, Li Ji answered without hesitation.
If he hesitates even a little when it comes to strength, it would be an insult to him as a strength enthusiast!
But then he thought about it again and seemed to feel that something was not quite right. "No, thinking about it this way, the mace seems to be very good too. Except for the lower total damage, the chance of being hit by a crutch is high."
Just as Li Ji was deep in thought about who he should choose, the three people on the other side suddenly covered their faces and didn't know what to say.
"Alas, although I can barely make it into the 'Super Cup,' my injuries are never good enough. In the end, I'm no match for the two of you, so I can only resort to some tricks." After saying this, Arturo glanced at the mace and the Flame Shadow Reed beside him.
"As expected, bringing her here was a mistake."
“I agree, let Federico keep an eye on her next time.”
Mace and Flame Shadow Reed exchanged a glance and reached an agreement on this point.
Just then, the system notification above Li Ji's head suddenly stopped.
It seems that all the members of the fusion faction from earlier are dead.
"It seems like it's finished over there, we can go harvest the crops now."
Besides making money, he had two other important objectives in his campaign to eliminate the Fusion faction.
One option is to see if we can leave a few survivors and extract some useful information from them.
Another thing is to see if we can find some sealing crystals... Although the sealing time is not long each time, it is enough to deal with emergencies.
If he could keep using it, Li Ji estimated that he would start writing a diary soon...
Day 1: We promise not to be the first to use Isamara.
Day 2: I don't eat beef.
Chapter 91: Shocking Change in the Ruins
Li Ji returned to the original ruins.
The bodies were scattered everywhere, in various poses; some were still struggling as they had in life, while others were already stiff. Their faces were contorted, and their clothes were torn to shreds.
A thin layer of dust permeated the ruins, mixed with a strong smell of blood, causing Li Ji to cough lightly twice.
"Cough cough, I told you not to let him use the sealing crystal. It's covered in blood everywhere, and you have to be careful when you walk."
Li Ji fanned the dust from his nose and walked carefully through the ruins, afraid that he might get stained with the blood left behind by the slightest mistake.
"What a tragic death. I wish it had been better if he had just died peacefully from mental death, at least he wouldn't have died like this, with no body intact."
He sighed twice, then used an iron rod and a longsword he had picked up to pok at the corpses of the Fusionists present.
However, all they could find were personal items like cigarettes, lighters, and walnut strings; they couldn't find any money or sealing crystals.
At this moment, the agents were also splitting up to search for items on the surrounding corpses, and Li Ji was not in a hurry to slowly flip the corpses forward.
