Chapter 95: Looks Above All Else (Part 3)
Seeing that no one spoke, the doctor wasn’t awkward. “Every month, our hospital has some patients who have never had plastic surgery and whose natural appearance is extremely ugly. Our hospital provides great assistance to such patients!”
Players whose natural appearance was extremely ugly: “…”
Outrageous.
Even the most unattractive person in the room couldn’t be described as extremely ugly, at least not like the distorted appearance in the mirror.
“Our hospital provides free plastic surgery procedures. Especially for your first surgery, we will operate until you are satisfied. After you are satisfied, you don’t need to rush to pay us. Only when you are able to reach the Charm Ranking will our hospital ask you for money.”
“I believe that by then, you will also be able to give us generous rewards. Of course, you don’t need to worry that we will overcharge. Because we also want to help more people and tell everyone that beauty is innocent!”
As the doctor spoke, his voice became passionate.
He even opened his arms, as if embracing the world. “Although you all have ugly faces now, it doesn’t matter. After the excellent plastic surgery at our hospital, you will embrace beauty, be loved and sought after by countless people, and possess supreme wealth and status!”
Everyone: “…”
You’re the one with the ugly face!
“Hand out our hospital’s plastic surgery brochures to them so they can take a look.”
The doctor waved his hand, and immediately nurses beside him handed out flyers to everyone.
The front of the flyer had a very exaggerated style, a group of deformed people wearing various gorgeous clothes, illuminated by lights on a stage.
The title was: Beauty is Innocent, Ugliness is the Original Sin.
The slogan was: Be a beautiful person in a beautiful world. The beautiful world cannot tolerate ugly you.
Honestly, those almost skeletal figures that were barely recognizable as human, placed under such a title, were really not convincing.
But clearly, this distorted world was like this.
If you looked in a mirror, you would find that these men and women were truly stunning, the women as beautiful as celestial beings and the men as handsome as Pan An.
The back of the flyer was a list of plastic surgery procedures.
Hundreds of densely packed plastic surgery options.
Facial plastic surgery alone took up a large section.
Double eyelid surgery, eye bag removal, canthoplasty, epicanthic fold correction, eyebrow lift, jaw angle reduction, facial bone surgery, forehead bossing, rhinoplasty, nose tip reduction, autologous ear cartilage rhinoplasty, columellar lengthening, alar reduction, lip augmentation, chin augmentation, buccal fat pad removal, forehead augmentation, temple filling, etc…
Zheng Yue next to her looked at it while touching his face, feeling a constant ache.
After this series of surgeries, would there be any good parts left on his face?
Other options included liposuction injections, whitening injections, water light injections, and various local plastic surgeries on the body.
In short, the players all found it hard to describe.
Honestly, if they really pursued appearance, they could completely spend points in the game to buy a face-sculpting opportunity, painlessly changing faces, bodies, and genders. As long as they had enough points, they could change as much as they wanted.
It just couldn’t be brought into reality.
But most people in reality have their own family and friends and couldn’t really change their appearance.
The doctor took their expressions into his eyes and pushed up his glasses. “Everyone can take the brochures back and study them carefully. If you are interested, you can come to us for plastic surgery at any time. Beauty is innocent, and we always welcome your arrival.”
This game instance was only D-level difficulty, so it didn’t require them to get plastic surgery forcibly.
Everyone naturally got up one after another, wanting to leave.
They would put the plastic surgery issue aside for now and first observe this world and find the rules of survival.
Although it was highly likely related to looks.
Stepping out of the plastic surgery hospital, they were greeted by a world of dazzling lights and bustling activity.
A prosperous and lively city. Although it was night, the lights on the skyscrapers made the whole city seem like daytime.
Advertisements for plastic surgery were plastered all over the streets and alleys, and huge screens on the buildings occasionally played commercials for plastic surgery procedures endorsed by “beautiful men and women.”
The twenty-odd of them were quite conspicuous.
Especially since the people coming and going were all skeleton spirits, cone heads, and big-eyed monsters.
They all cast contemptuous or mocking glances at the players. Some even exaggeratedly vomited.
“Heavens, how can anyone be so ugly?”
“Oh! If I were that woman, that fat, I wouldn’t even go out!”
“Heavens, their existence in this world is simply polluting it!”
“Ugly monsters, go die!”
Someone suddenly shouted, followed by a thrown stone.
The stone was thrown at Bai Cha.
She raised her hand and caught the stone. This reaction speed and strength were something she couldn’t have possessed before.
“Puke! Ugly monster dares to resist! How shameless!”
The surrounding voices grew louder.
More and more people surrounded them.
“Damn it, crazy people!” Zheng Yue cursed, looking at these people who looked like demons and monsters, making him feel even more fear than facing ghosts.
At least when ghosts were twisted, you knew they were ghosts, and it wasn’t strange no matter what they looked like.
But these people were all human, even if they were NPCs. In the setting, they were all human.
People of the same kind as themselves.
“Ugly monster! Go die!”
“Ugly monster! Go die!”
The surrounding voices gradually unified, their expressions bewitched, their eyes full of excitement, making their already large eyeballs, which looked like they could fall out, even more eerie.
And more and more people were coming.
The players’ faces turned green.
“We can’t stay together anymore, we need to find a place,” someone said. “We probably don’t have much competition with each other in this game, let’s discuss it together first.”
Everyone didn’t have much objection.
In this situation, there was safety in numbers.
And if they didn’t want to get plastic surgery, then getting money would probably involve robbing.
It was better to stick together.
Everyone scanned the surroundings, chose a direction, and began to break through together.
Seeing them flee in disarray, the people who looked like demons and monsters around them exclaimed excitedly and began to chase.
“There are too many people and the area is too large, let’s split up first,” someone said, already running off to the side.
Unity was the easiest thing to break down.
However, most people still ran in groups of two or three.
Bai Cha and Zheng Yue ran together through a narrow alley to the side, then ran east and west, finally stopping in the shadow of a large building.
This was a garbage dump, the stench was overwhelming, and no one came over.
Zheng Yue first breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the flyer in his hand. “Damn it, are we really going to get plastic surgery? Can’t we just rob money?”
“Probably not,” Bai Cha had observed the surroundings when they were outside.
She had noticed some words.
For example, in the advertisements, there were phrases like “increases your likeability value,” “likeability value upup,” and “gain more likes, own more assets.”
“It’s possible that these so-called likeability values represent money, or maybe likeability values can be exchanged for money.”
If they could complete this competition by directly robbing a bank or something, then as long as the players united, clearing the game wouldn’t be a problem.
Even if the bank’s money might not be enough, they could have the bank issue checks, which should count as clearing the game, right?
“Really? You’re so amazing, I didn’t even notice these,” Zheng Yue exclaimed. “Then what do we do?”
