Chapter 94: Looks Above All Else (Part 2)
Compared to this boy, what was in Bai Cha’s mirror was even more outrageous.
She looked like a fleshy tumor, literally, from head to toe.
Sparse hair was stuck on the shapeless mass of flesh that couldn’t even be called a human form.
There were also many black hairs on her body, like the moles with hairs that matchmakers have, and indeed, large patches of black covered her body.
This was the epidermis.
Her facial features were even worse. One eye was up, one was down, both were mung bean eyes, her nose was crooked, a bulbous red nose with nostrils pointing upwards, and her mouth was also crooked to the side.
Bai Cha smiled at the mirror.
Hey, good heavens, the tumor smiled.
Bai Cha silently closed the mirror.
At this moment, almost all the players were looking at their reflections. Many touched themselves in disbelief, then looked down at their hands, and had the people next to them look, and everyone’s reactions were the same.
The boy next to her glanced at Bai Cha with some sympathy, feeling that the person in his own mirror wasn’t so ugly after all. He turned his head to look at the few people beside him.
“It feels like the better-looking people become uglier?” After looking around, he summarized the pattern and whispered to Bai Cha. “Your looks here should be the highest.”
So Bai Cha became the ugliest.
The players with more ordinary looks didn’t change so drastically. Most of them just had some ugliness added to their faces, some extra features.
Or their bodies became a bit fatter.
However, one fat person actually became thinner, but it couldn’t be said that they became better-looking. After all, that fat person’s features were actually not bad.
But clearly, this world was the opposite.
Bai Cha knew she was good-looking, and the kind that elders would prefer, gentle and obedient.
She herself hadn’t really cared about it before. She didn’t like socializing and would stay in her dorm room whenever she had free time at school, and it was the same at home.
But today, she realized it.
However, clearly, in this game, she had to get plastic surgery, to look like those monsters next to her.
But her real appearance hadn’t changed.
If she got plastic surgery according to her reflection in the mirror, then her whole self would be gone.
At least all the flesh on her body would have to be cut off, and her eyes would have to be forcibly “straightened.”
Then she would truly be a monster.
But she didn’t leave. She touched her body again. Besides the mirror, she found that she also had a phone.
The phone case was black, with the pixelated ghost face of the Ghost Domain APP printed on it.
After opening it, it was no different from a normal phone.
Bai Cha looked down and searched, and found that she also had a persona.
After summarizing information from various social media and her own photo albums, her situation in this game was as follows:
Bai Cha, female, 20 years old.
Her appearance is extremely ugly and she is a well-known ugly person on the Beautiful World, therefore heavily in debt.
In this world called the Beautiful World, people who are not good-looking have to pay high taxes every month.
Because people who are not good-looking hurt other people’s eyes. Therefore, they must pay taxes. This tax is used to subsidize the beautiful men and women on the charm, to compensate them for being so good-looking and contributing to the world, and also for enduring the harm caused by ugly people.
She has been paying the ugly tax for 20 years.
So at a young age, she is already 2 million in debt.
And if she wants to pay off this money, she naturally has to work. But work depends on looks. A person like her is not worthy of work and will scare away customers.
So she can only come for plastic surgery.
But plastic surgery also requires money. Only this plastic surgery hospital called Beauty is Innocent in the entire Beautiful World allows payment to be made later.
They call this investment. If they create someone very beautiful who can get on the charm ranking, then they will ask for money at that time.
Many people are also willing or even frantically pursue this model and come to this hospital to queue for plastic surgery.
Bai Cha’s phone also had many case studies saved.
All of them were large numbers of “successful” cases.
The reason for the quotation marks is that these people had very normal looks and figures before the surgery.
After the surgery, it was different.
Some became skin and bones, some had twisted and crooked eyes, and some had mouths cut open like the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
But… it wasn’t entirely abnormal either.
There was also a picture where there was no difference before and after the surgery. What they looked like before was what they looked like after. However, if you held a mirror up to the picture, you would find that the picture before the surgery showed an ugly person in the mirror. But the picture after the surgery looked very normal in the mirror.
She wasn’t the only one who noticed this information. The players were all frantically gathering information while there were no NPCs around to develop the plot.
This was a D6 instance, which could be said to be indeed matched to Bai Cha’s level.
So in theory, the difficulty of the instance shouldn’t be that high. But it was only in theory, based on the current situation…
Perhaps this plastic surgery project that could make people look the same before and after, but allow them to appear in front of others with their normal looks, was what these players should choose.
But… why?
“Wow, look at that person!” The boy beside her suddenly pulled Bai Cha.
Bai Cha followed his gaze. It was someone who had just walked out of the hospital.
It should be a female… judging by the clothes.
Mainly because it looked like a skeleton, with dark skin, a pointed and long chin and nose, eyes that took up a quarter of its face, and sparse hair.
She was very satisfied and thanking the doctor, claiming that her whitening this time was very successful and she would continue to come.
Oh, the doctors and head nurses here all looked like normal people.
“There’s something wrong with this hospital…” The boy beside her muttered softly.
“By the way, what’s your name? I’m Zheng Yue.”
Bai Cha glanced at him. It wouldn’t hurt to find an ally in this world.
If she ran out of money, she could borrow from a friend, no, this world should be quite big, and the way to make money was hard to say. More people could gather information on earning channels faster.
“My name is Bai Cha. There’s definitely something wrong with the hospital. Did you see this?”
So she directly took out the information on her phone to share. Anyway, the other party probably had this information too.
“Wow, you have this on your phone.”
That boy also noticed that there was no difference before and after the plastic surgery. But the person in the mirror was different.
“What’s the principle…”
“I don’t know, but that doctor has already come over. Maybe we can ask,” Bai Cha said calmly, looking at the doctor.
The doctor had a few nurses take the group of NPCs who had already undergone surgery away, then turned his gaze to these players.
The plastic surgeon was a male doctor with ordinary looks. But for some reason, his every move gave off an ethereal air.
He looked at everyone very gently. “You all haven’t had surgery yet, right? Are you here to inquire about plastic surgery procedures?”
The players looked at each other for a moment, and no one spoke immediately.
