Xiaoyun's proposal to win favor for Xiaoshuang?

Floating Island, Villa Living Room

Yuto Saito sat comfortably on the sofa, accessing his personal panel to review his progress.

Previously, he had copied Orange's Hearing LV3, gaining 90 attributes. Next, he acquired Song Yi's Power Attack LV2, adding another 60 attributes, followed by the high-gloss Golden Bell LV2, which also granted him 60 attributes.

Yuto glanced at his personal panel, a wave of satisfaction washing over him. He was on the brink of achieving 15 stars.

With Hutuaner and Rice Noodles joining his team, he knew he could reach that goal. However, he was down to just three copy cards, prompting him to think carefully about their use. As his character leveled up to Level 5, he would unlock five more copy cards.

In a previous life, Yuto often pondered the best way to utilize his remaining cards. He had plans to copy a high-end residential area to establish a base on the floating island, where he could recruit staff and start farming. But with only three cards left, he needed to be judicious. If he encountered any extraordinary talents, they were a must-copy.

In his past experiences, Yuto had heard tales of rare talents, such as teleportation, which allowed teammates to traverse distances in an instant—a power that was exceedingly rare. In his previous life, only three individuals with teleportation abilities had been awakened.

One was a teleportation talent from the Lighthouse Kingdom, tragically captured for research and subsequently perished. Another hailed from the Great Cold Country, who, during a fierce battle, was unable to utilize her power when monsters attacked. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she ultimately succumbed to her injuries.

The last individual was from the Dragon Kingdom, a teleportation talent who survived the apocalypse alongside her formidable comrades. However, as their city fell and their base crumbled, she found herself trapped. After teleporting with two surviving teammates to an iceberg, they faced a formidable eighth-order ice giant. Caught in the cooldown of her power, she was unable to escape, leading to their demise.

If only she had possessed an invincible floating island like Yuto's, she could have returned safely. But with the base breached, her teleportation talent had left her with no safe destination, forcing her to choose a random location.

Yuto reflected on these memories, grounding himself before shifting his focus back to his personal panel. He allocated a storage ring to both Hu Tuan'er and Rice Noodles, reducing his stock to four but reassuring himself that he could procure more in the future. For now, he felt secure knowing that each team member was equipped with a storage ring.

Just then, Yun Yun approached, leaning gently against Yuto's shoulder. The soft scent of her fragrance enveloped him, bringing him joy. He found himself enamored with Yun Yun, captivated by her beauty.

"Xiaotu, Xiaoshuang really likes you," she whispered, her voice teasing. "Why not take her out tonight?"

Wrapping an arm around her waist, Yuto smiled. "I'm not in a rush. Why are you so eager?"

Yuto was well aware of the close bond between Yun Yun and Ni Shuang. Neighbors since childhood, they had grown up inseparable, more like sisters than friends. The clothes Yun Yun bought were often shared, and their mutual care for one another transcended simple friendship.

"I'll allow you to have other women," Yun Yun continued, her tone light but firm, "but Xiaoshuang must be your second. Otherwise, I won't stay with you!"

Yuto chuckled softly; Yun Yun was clearly playing matchmaker for Ni Shuang. To the rest of the world, she was recognized as Yuto's true girlfriend, even a principal partner, and all the other girls respected her position.

As he glanced at Ni Shuang sitting to his left, he noticed a subtle change in her expression, a hint of something unsettling.

"Xiao Shuang, is everything okay?" Yuto asked, concern lacing his voice.

Ni Shuang handed over her phone, her face clouded with worry. "My roommate, Pan Qiao, said two snipers are after us."

Immediately, Yun Yun straightened, alarmed. "What did Pan Qiao say? Is it true?"

"Pan Qiao said a blond beauty reached out to her," Ni Shuang replied. "The beauty's sister was captured by the snipers, who threatened her. They bugged her, forcing her to go to the dormitory. She couldn't speak out loud, so she messaged Pan Qiao instead."

At that moment, Mina's name popped up on the screen as well. Yuto leaned closer to Ni Shuang's phone. "Mina's message is identical to Pan Qiao's," he confirmed.

"I'll take a look." Ni Shuang retrieved her phone, checking the messages before quickly responding to Mina.

Yuto stood, his expression turning serious. "The snipers are in the teaching building. I'm going after them."

Yun Yun stood too, determination flashing in her eyes. "Xiaotu, I'm coming with you."

"Stay here," Yuto replied gently. "I can fly, and I'll handle this quickly. They're only Level 4; I can manage without putting you in danger."

Yun Yun's expression softened, her concern evident. "Just be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Yuto stepped out of the villa, activating his flight ability and soaring off the floating island.

Watching him depart, Yun Yun turned to Ni Shuang. "Xiao Shuang, you need to step up."

Ni Shuang looked confused. "Huh? What do you mean, sister?"

Yun Yun sighed dramatically. "Didn't you notice that Mina, Yuqi, and Nazi all like Xiaotu? Don't you feel anything?"

"I… I like him," Ni Shuang admitted hesitantly. "But you and Xiao Tutu are together. That makes me happy."

Yun Yun beamed at her sister. "Silly girl, when Xiaotu returns, you'll…"

Ni Shuang's cheeks flushed at her sister's words. "Sister, do we really need to discuss this?"
