From the Abyss of Stars Part 1

006. Buying the Case and Returning the Pearl

He deliberately grabbed her neck to enter combat mode.

Hearing his words, the smuggler's henchmen all froze, looking hesitant.

This way, he could see her panel data.

-------------------------------------

[Entering combat mode, assessing...]

[Based on your level, you will see the following information about the enemy:]

[Name]: Pei Li

[Total Level]: lv.1 Civilian

[Health]: 50/50 (Healthy)

[Attributes]:

Strength—3

Dexterity—3

Constitution—4

Charisma—2

Willpower—2

-------------------------------------

She looked small and weak, indeed her attributes were much lower than his.

Seeing this, he immediately activated the [Security] job skill [Bully the Weak].

[Bully the Weak]: Use verbal abuse, intimidation, and threats to perform an attribute check. If your main attribute is higher than the opponent's, the check succeeds.

Li Aozhi's main attribute was [Charisma], at a whopping 13 points, so the check passed directly.

Although his strength was only 4 points, he could still lift a small woman off the ground.

The smuggler's pupils shrank. Noticing Li Aozhi's pale skin, she quickly realized something and forced a smile:

"Oh, you're with the resistance—misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding! If you had said so earlier, we live off the scraps from the resistance. I swear on my great-grandmother's grave, I had no intention of offending you."

Li Aozhi glanced at the four middle-aged men, snorted coldly. In a real fight, his combat skills were enough to handle them.

But that wasn't worth it. If someone tipped off Rule Four, he wouldn't make it to the border.

He could handle one or two agents, but he wasn't a [Warrior]. Plus, law enforcement had guns, and he'd be lucky to avoid getting shot on the spot.

He muttered about the 'ultimate humiliation' by Rule Four.

Using the name of the infamous border resistance guerrilla 'Rose Army' and his pale skin, combined with an unusual smuggling destination, he was easily believed.

Li Aozhi let go, and Pei Li fell to the ground with a thud. Rubbing her butt, she hadn't even stood up when he threw her another 2000 Debbies.

"Keep quiet. I have confidential matters. Get me out of the city quickly. If anything happens to me, heh... Delina just took the army north last month, you think about it!"

The last part was made up. According to the timeline, Rose Army's northern campaign led by Delina wouldn't start until next March, and Yaoguang City wasn't even in the attack plan.

It was a complete lie, but lies can be credible when told by the right person at the right time.

Rose Army was known for being ruthless, unscrupulous, and anti-Frost. Most members were stateless refugees.

Coincidentally, Li Aozhi's pale skin was very similar to that of a stateless refugee.

Thinking this, the smuggler felt a chill.
