"Frost Plated Bone White"
This task, Li Aozi had never heard of anyone triggering it before.
Clearly, this was because his enmity with Frost Plated had beco irreconcilable, thus naturally resulting in a ’world task’.
All three rewards were generous, but the difficulty was also plainly evident.
"Frost Plated Bone White..."
Such a cold term, but it seed not at all incorrect.
Even though the system prompt indicated that once this task was chosen, it would be irreversible—Li Aozi still chose to accept without hesitation.
It was because of the discrimination and persecution experienced in this life, as well as Nomi’s tragic death, including Xeno and the young teens turned into experints or the countless won like Qiu Ran in the lower strata, and even aspiring individuals like David Lyn and Du Zexin who couldn’t truly change their own fates—the source of all these tragedies was Frost Plated.
Frost Plated was rotten to the core, and only a change from the ground up could truly end the tragedies.
It would be hard, Splendid Story abbreviated was SS level, and in fact, tasks higher than S level were simply not feasible for one person to complete.
Not to ntion Settlent Condition C: "Ending the Evil Result"—which required the permanent eradication of Frost Plated and the problems of the Outer World, ensuring on top of that, the people of Frost Plated would not go to extres.
This involved many problems, the first troubleso factor to consider was the Forged Society, Philoris, and its Pseudo-Human citizens.
Philoris was an external threat, but a Narrative-Level Civilization would not sit by idly; there was no need for him to worry about that for the ti being.
But what about the Pseudo-Humans?
Frankly, the biggest threat of the Pseudo-Humans was not the Pseudo-Humans themselves, but rather the panic that the fact of ’the existence of Pseudo-Humans in the world’ could cause people.
The most obvious victim case was Qiu Ran—she clearly wasn’t an Ersha Infected Individual, but upon being told of the infection, she believed it without a doubt, voluntarily left her family, and many Ersha Infected were in the sa situation.
Humans are, after all, social animals; once the group acquires a wrong ntality, even if you know it is incorrect, you will be influenced by the group, either not reflecting on your own mistakes or not daring to speak up and silently conforming.
It was the sa with Frost Plated: the n were all well aware that won were innately physically less capable than n, but with Frost Plated’s policies, judicial decisions, and personnel use intentionally biased towards won, public opinion naturally tilted towards won, even starting to propose "female superiority", "won are the higher gender", "n carry an original sin, and can only breed violence" and such concepts.
The end result was employers and n being influenced, with n suffering discrimination, and won like Qiu Ran at the bottom of the discrimination chain.
This was also the most direct problem to solve Settlent Condition B.
There were still quite a few ambitious individuals within the David Lyn Faction; Li Aozi believed in this ’last man of Frost Plated’’s political and military abilities—after all, being able to command Frost Plated’s broken army to defeat Sky Ring’s war madman twice was truly no small feat.
The question was, even though David Lyn could take Frost Plated down the right path, or protect the nation’s security—could he completely revert people’s thinking amidst such a dia environnt?
Even if he could turn them around, would the won who were the beneficiaries agree?
Li Aozi himself knew this all too well.
His previous mother was very enlightened, but when faced with continuing education, she still chose to have Li Aozi give up his studies to let his sister go to college—a dilemma not unlike that of many lower-class families.
These matters, Li Aozi felt, couldn’t be rushed.
They say it takes at least two generations for people’s concepts to change, that is, twenty years.
Twenty years, which is about one or two versions’ ti.
In comparison, the real headache was still the Pseudo-Human issue.
Looking at these Settlent Conditions, Li Aozi estimated that A was likely the easiest.
In his previous life, Frost Plated only had a few tens of thousands of players by na, so standing with the original governnt forces, yet that alone was enough to help David Lyn secure the President’s position for a decade.
Li Aozi thought it through and had an idea.
Since the A test had already started, if he could get in touch with the internal testers of the ga, and use so suggestive thods, perhaps he could make these official personnel aware of the importance of the in-ga voice channel ahead of ti, there might be improvents.
Not to say anything else, but you can never trust a ga designer’s abilities; Li Aozi himself was an Ace Bro, while the ga designers might not have even logged into the ga.
From a player’s perspective, typically only one of the ga designer’s mother and brains could exist.
If he did not end Frost Plated’s current dominion, the entire nation, the entire country’s people—at least, Li Aozi himself would face more severe persecution.
Fortunately, he had already thrown away his personal terminal; otherwise, who knows what Frost Plated’s netizens might start doing—either subjecting him to a barrage of ssages or escalating to physical confrontations offline.
There was nothing more to say; for a long while to co, Li Aozi’s tasks would all revolve around one point—that was to crush Frost Plated to bits!
"Next, let’s see what rewards Du ibi’s task has."
[Urgent Event: "Armor Assault" has been completed]
[Assessnt]: Thrilling
[Due to your excellent performance, the random reward will change to a five-choice one]
[Awarding reward...]
[Reward Settlent]:

"This ibei... truly brought bad luck over here."
Li Aozi truly hadn’t expected that, although Professor Anna’s knowledge didn’t reach the level of a Transcendent, she still possessed a dozen or so professor-level foundational knowledge areas.
Out of the five skills, there was only one professor-level, and even bachelor-level knowledge was up for grabs.
"So unlucky!"
Li Aozi took a look and realized that only option A would be useful to him.
He also had a [Craftsman] lifestyle profession, so after choosing A "Doctoral Level, Basic Pharmacology," he dragged the skill under this yet-to-be-activated lifestyle profession.
Being able to create basic dicinal compounds wasn’t too bad; he could sell so in the future. Not only would it enhance his survival capability, but making a bit of money was definitely possible.
After the battle ended, Jian Neriya ca out and didn’t comfort Qiu Ran. Instead, she searched the battlefield, picking out so weapons and equipping herself with them.
Li Aozi couldn’t be bothered with this woman, just like Qiu Ran said, she wasn’t a good woman.
Keeping her was purely for maintaining contact with the Rose Army.
However, he had a thought and suddenly realized this woman did have a significant use.
"Qiu Ran, Jian, co with for a mont."
Li Aozi beckoned them, leading them down the corridor, all the way to the subway station.
The agents had been wiped out, so there were no obstructions along the way. Qiu Ran’s mood improved a lot, possibly because of his recent words and the actions of beheading Anna that made her feel closer to Li Aozi.
"So this is an old-era subway... Why does it feel fancier than the modern ones?"
Qiu Ran leaned on Li Aozi, her fingertips gently brushing over the marble reliefs on the wall. These exquisite carvings had survived hundreds of years, and although erosion had damaged them, their forr beauty was still discernible.
"Well, of course, the Azure Star’s civilization of the old era was way more impressive than the present,"
Li Aozi said casually, deliberately adopting a Scavenger’s tone:
"These are cultural heritages from the ancient order. Y’all better be careful not to damage them."
"Scavenger indeed,"
Jian made a brief comnt:
"The tis will always change, and there is no progress in only basking in the glory of the old days."
As they descended the stairs, Li Aozi had already noticed the conspicuous armored train, which was pulling in its boarding ramps, preparing to flee.
Indeed—the mbers of the tro Brotherhood were still there!
He deliberately shouted:
"Oh no, it seems the warriors of the Rose Army are dissatisfied with the old order, and by extension, with the creations of the old era as well? Let say sothing hurtful—don’t get offended—but the chips in the old-era toasters run smoother in the Red Arrow’s mobile armor than the inferior products of modern industry."
At his pointed remark, the armored train inside the station suddenly emitted a huge screeching of brakes.
"Yikes!" Qiu Ran was startled, "What’s going on—wow, what is this? Is this... a train? Why is it covered with so many layers of armor, and there are machine guns too?"
As a chanic, Qiu Ran was imdiately fascinated with this kind of industrial machinery. She rushed forward, staring fixedly at the armored train, from its structural design to its outer protection. The rough and violent charm of heavy industrial machinery had a strong visual impact.
"Stop right there."
Just as Qiu Ran was about to touch it, a woman’s voice from inside the train ordered them to stop. The train ca to a halt, the ramp descended, and two tro Brotherhood mbers wearing leather jackets and exoskeletons erged from the train.
The man was the driver, looking Li Aozi up and down and asking:
"Are you the Scavenger?"
Li Aozi took off his goggles, revealing his pale skin and handso face, imdiately gaining a sense of closeness with the other.
"Li Aozi, a prospector digging for gold."
His fluent underworld jargon got a nod from the man who shook hands and greeted him:
"Long live Ludvigia and the Anaerobes. I’m the driver of the ’Youth Number,’ Zhou Liefeng, and this comrade here is Selya."
