ALL MY WIVES ARE BEAUTIFUL ELVES

Chapter 85 First touch??

[Would you like to open the Surprise box?]

[Yes] or [No]

"Err... yes," Kan answered in his mind, and then the box opened right in front of him. The experience felt as though it was unfolding in real time, yet the seamless integration of the system interface with his mind created this illusion.

[Congratulations! You have retrieved one skill item from the Surprise box!!]

?First touch - What's that thing you'd like to say? What's that feeling you'd like to convey but can't? Well, it ends here. You might as well have unlocked the most broken skill in your arsenal. With First touch, it's not on you anymore but them. Touch any target with this skill active, and that's all it takes to whisper ideas into their minds!!

?Cost - 20 Mana points per use

"The hell?!!" Kan was beyond stunned as he stared at the information displayed in front of him.

"The skill is basically like pheromone!! What's the difference here?!! Only that it's twenty times as expensive!!" Kan said, evidently, he was not so pleased with what he had gotten.

[While pheromone has two advantages over this skill, wider range of effects and the second which is lack of contact, this skill is more powerful since it relates with sex only. You don't necessarily have to switch on arousal or pheromone with this skill. Because this skill is like a combination of both. It causes your target to be aroused and at the same time it iniates a burning desire within them which is specifically for you alone because of your touch]

"I still think there's no difference. I mean, arousal doesn't necessarily turn anyone on. I do most of if not all the work while it just guages their horniness.Pheromone like you said has a wilder range as I can affect emotions and much more. This to me just feels like a throw away skill that was rewarded to me!! I knew this surprise box idea would be stupid!" Kan retorted.

[Okay, why not test it out?!!] Hela suggested.

"On who?!" Kan asked.

Just then, the door swung open, and adorned in a blue dress was someone familiar to him.

She had been here earlier.

"Hey, Sabrina!" Kan called out with a smile as he saw a dark-haired lady who had her hair packed in a ponytail walk in.

She had her hands tucked in the pockets of her healer uniform. She had been the one tending to Kan for the time being.

"Hey, Master Kanakan, how are you feeling now?" Sabrina asked with a cheerful smile that revealed rows of finely arranged teeth.

She had an impeccable feature, one that Kan found interesting though.

This was her dimple, which appeared to be two on each side. Although this would normally have made her look weird, but in this case, every time she smiled, it simply melted him away.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. All thanks to you!" Kan pointed, gesturing appreciation as he put both hands together like he was praying to a god.

"Oh please, you are funny. I have a gift of healing, but I must say, you did it almost on your own. You have a remarkable body, Master Kanakan. In all my years, it's simply unheard of for an elf!" Sabrina expressed her intrigue about Kan's body.

"Hehe, would you like to see more of this body?" Kan mused, staring at her with a smile, not saying it audibly.

"Well, I have come with good news. Your parents called in and are on their way to pick you up!!" Sabrina announced, her expression warm and kind.

"What?!" Kan's surprise was evident in his voice.

"I mean, how?!" He asked, a mix of emotions swirling within him.

"Well, we ran a trace of your identity on the database. Turns out we found a match. Plus, in your pocket, there's the registration number which aligns with some of your parent's information. It's funny that you asked this knowing well that your details and that of your parents are synchronized into the tree!" Sabrina explained, a light laugh escaping her lips. She paused, noticing Kan's genuine confusion.

"The tree?" Kan mumbled, still trying to wrap his head around the concept.

"Yes, the tree. It's like the world database. Bills, registration, taxes, names, and records, they all go into the tree. I'm sure you are still under the compulsory parental support fee which guarantees you access to the internet, transportation, and other amenities. Are you okay, master Kanakan? You seem a little lost!" Sabrina's laughter held a touch of nervousness.

"Oh... it's nothing. It's just... I was a bit shocked to hear you say all this. You're a healer, how do you know so much?!" Kan deflected, turning the focus back on Sabrina.

"No, no, no. I think you're really confused. Everyone knows this. I mean, it's common knowledge! Although, there are two plausible reasons as to why you're unaware..." Sabrina's tone held a hint of knowing.

"Okay, what do you think?" Kan leaned in, intrigued.

"You're still a child. I mean, you're just eighteen and I'm sure you've just started school, so it makes sense why you wouldn't know yet," Sabrina explained, attempting another light laugh. This time, Kan wasn't finding it amusing.

"She thinks I'm just a child?!! A child?!!!" Kan seethed internally.

"So, what's your second reasoning as to why I don't know the TREE?" Kan asked, a mock tone in his voice, though it was mild enough to be easily missed.

"Well, let's just stop here. I'm sorry, I got a little carried away. It's just that part of the healing process is making patients feel comfortable with the healer. Forgetting one is in a hospital goes a long way!" Sabrina tried to diffuse the situation.

"But I'm done here. I'll order someone to bring you a fresh pair of new clothes since your other ones were torn," Sabrina said, her helpfulness shining through.

"Errr... thank you!!" Kan expressed his gratitude, appreciating her assistance.

"I'm just curious. So, I know your friend, the blond one, reported that you had an accident with one of the beasts at the city park on a lunch date together. But I'm a healer and I'm not stupid. I need you to tell me the truth, what exactly happened?" Sabrina leaned in, her eyes locked onto Kan's.

"If she told you that, then that's what happened," Kan replied, his expression giving nothing away.

He was well aware of Sabrina's suspicions, but he wasn't foolish enough to think she would believe his side of the story. Besides, she lacked concrete evidence. Revealing the truth when Ellie had already provided a cover story wasn't the wisest move.

"Well then," Sabrina said, heading towards the door.

Kan's mind raced. She was giving up too easily, and he had something in mind to try. A wicked grin crept across his face as he observed Sabrina's figure retreating.

He considered calling out to her, but to his surprise, she halted at the door and turned to speak.

"It's new, it's exciting out there, Master Kanakan. I'm talking about the world. But you have to know there's more to it than engaging in things that won't benefit you. Take it from me, it's not worth it!" Sabrina's tone was more serious than before.

"Err... thank you?" Kan responded, a bit thrown off. She turned and left through the door.

He could have called her back, but he chose not to. The atmosphere had shifted before she departed, and he needed a moment to collect himself.

"Why does she sound like she knows what happened? Even then, why is she so concerned? I mean, it's not like she knows me or anything!" Kan pondered.

Deciding to leave things as they were, he redirected his attention to the system.

"Let's allocate those skill points," Kan instructed Hela as he made the necessary adjustments, reviewing the changes.

[Why didn't you increase your agility?] Hela inquired, noticing that Kan had distributed the 30 free stat points primarily between stamina and strength.

"Well, stamina because, as you know, Ellie still outlasts me, and that's something I want to change!" Kan explained, determination lighting up his features.

"And for strength, I realized if I was stronger, I probably wouldn't have needed to activate the berserker in the first place!" He added, subtly expressing his distaste for the skill.

"Okay, good point. So what now?" Hela asked.

"Sing me a song while I catch a nap," Kan requested.

========

Kan woke up to the tapping of someone. When he stirred, he saw a black-haired lady, holding some clothes, staring at him.

"A woman is in the lobby, she claims to be your mother," Sabrina said.

"Oh right, she won't come in?!" It occurred to Kan and he asked.

"Well, she says she's in a hurry so you should get dressed and come meet her straightaway," Sabrina relayed.

It was obvious she wasn't too pleased delivering this message, seeing how Kan's face changed as she spoke, but the deed had already been done.

"Okay, thanks for the clothes. I'll go change right away. But before then, I'm sure you are done with me so you won't stick around anymore. I just wanted to say thank you, for everything!" Kan said, collecting the clothes from Sabrina. In that little exchange, his fingers grazed against Sabrina's, and she let out a sound as though she had caught a cold immediately.

"I'm sorry, must be the air conditioning!!" Her cheeks flustered as she turned away rapidly and left

.

"Yeah, it was the air conditioning," Kan muttered with a smile. Although, deep within his mind, he gave a command.

"Deactivate first touch"...
