Chapter 108: [Beauty Above All] Desperate Measures Revealed
Bai Cha took out her phone and sent a message to “Zheng Yue.”
“Chat?”
“Zheng Yue” sent a location.
Bai Cha looked at the location; it wasn’t far from here.
As soon as she moved, Liu Shuaicai grabbed her.
He typed a line on his phone.
“Where are you going?”
“Just wandering around. Unless you want to go back to the junkyard to sleep?”
Liu Shuaicai hesitated. The smell of that junkyard was indeed a bit unpleasant.
He quickly and firmly followed Bai Cha.
This lady was clearly a big shot.
He had never seen anyone dare to threaten an NPC to give themselves a second head.
Bai Cha didn’t stop him either.
Some of the other players looked at each other and followed.
Mainly because they didn’t know what was going on, and Liu Shuaicai couldn’t speak.
“Um… what exactly is going on?” Some players couldn’t help their anxiety and asked.
“Are you talking about the head that grew out? It’s okay, everyone has one. Once we clear the instance, the second head will be gone.”
Bai Cha’s comfort was clearly very ineffective.
That player looked at Bai Cha’s gentle and quiet appearance, their expression changing several times, but in the end, they couldn’t bring themselves to say a word.
“But how do we clear the instance?” Liu Shuaicai somehow got a software that could directly use AI voice to read out the words he typed.
Bai Cha: “…” Your chin is gone, can you please just not talk?
“Will this head completely merge into our own, and then we’ll die?”
Liu Shuaicai typed very quickly, making it hard not to suspect he was a chatterbox online too.
The other players were worried about the same thing.
So far, nothing seemed wrong, but who the hell would be okay with having an extra head?
“Well… so we’re going to see someone and ask him to confirm how long it will take for it to completely merge into your heads. We just need to clear the instance before that happens.”
“You make it sound so easy!” A male player couldn’t help but complain, “How are we supposed to clear this? It’s only the first day, and it’s already like this! Is this instance really that difficult?”
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, how could this instance be so hard? The first day is already hell mode!”
Bai Cha also nodded seriously, as if she agreed.
“Yeah, why is that?”
A player speculated, “I suspect it might be because we all got a key clue, which is the diary in everyone’s hands. Generally speaking, once a key clue instance appears, it’s possible to advance a large part of the progress directly.”
“But isn’t that usually how it is in story-driven games?”
Some games require players to explore the plot, and the higher the plot completion, the closer they are to clearing the game.
“But that doesn’t mean other instances can’t be like that, it’s just less common.”
As that player spoke, they glanced at Bai Cha.
It was this female player who shared the clue. But you couldn’t really say she was wrong. After all, normally, if someone got an important clue, they would hide it, why would they share it?
Bai Cha just smiled gently and innocently, while also glancing at the map.
“It looks like we’re almost there.”
The building at their destination was a magnificent high-rise, exuding an air of luxury.
There were also several large golden characters on it.
Beautiful Bank.
The high-rise’s doors were tightly closed at the moment. There were tall steps leading up to the entrance, and a person was sitting on the top step.
It was “Zheng Yue.”
He raised his hand and waved at them.
Liu Shuaicai naturally recognized Zheng Yue as well and immediately typed a line.
“Why are you here?”
“Zheng Yue” looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, then looked at Bai Cha.
“Didn’t you tell them?”
“Forgot,” Bai Cha said innocently, “Let me introduce you, this is Zheng Yue, who has already been completely merged.”
Players: “?”
It took them a long time to react and understand what this meant. Their expressions changed from initial bewilderment to horror.
Bai Cha had already walked over and started talking.
“You were originally a girl, right?”
“Zheng Yue” looked at her in surprise.
“I’ve read the diary in Zheng Yue’s hand. His diary is about a girl. Because she liked boys’ clothes and looked like a boy, she was ridiculed by her parents, teachers, and other students from a young age.”
Bai Cha sized up “Zheng Yue.”
The protagonist in Zheng Yue’s diary was the exact opposite of the protagonist in another player’s diary. What they had in common was that their outward appearance didn’t conform to the so-called norms of their gender.
Therefore, they were not accepted.
Each diary recorded a kind of appearance anxiety.
Bai Cha’s was about skin color and weight, but in reality, health was the most important thing.
The head that knocked on her door never reappeared after she chopped it off. If it was like “Zheng Yue,” still maintaining its own thoughts, it might have truly given up.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, it wasn’t hard to notice that the players corresponding to the diaries were actually quite specific in their desires.
Someone was short and laughed at for not looking like a man; the player they chose was tall.
There was a tall girl, 1.8 meters, who was laughed at for looking like a bear; her diary appeared in the hands of a petite female player.
“Zheng Yue” shrugged and smiled at the players standing below the steps, causing many players’ faces to change drastically.
“Yeah, so I wished I could become a boy, so that everything I liked would be so natural.”
Embracing the world with a brand-new body, the experience was completely different from before.
“Then do you like it?” Bai Cha asked curiously.
“Zheng Yue” tilted her head to look at her.
The girl was half-squatting on the ground, her long black hair falling to one side in front of her due to the tilt of her body.
“Zheng Yue” reached out and picked up a strand of her hair.
“I used to like a boy, and he asked me in shock, ‘You actually like guys?’ He also said he wanted to find a girl with long hair.”
“I hesitated about growing my hair long, but I looked like a boy, even my appearance was like one. After I grew my hair out, they started calling me sissy, but I was originally a girl.”
Bai Cha reached out and pulled her hair back.
“Then you should go and like someone who can appreciate you. Don’t waste time on those who don’t appreciate you, although that sounds like hindsight now.”
After all, “Zheng Yue” was already dead.
“Zheng Yue” chuckled softly.
“Yeah, after I came to this world, I was also thinking about this question. What was I hoping for?”
“So I don’t like it.” She formally answered Bai Cha’s first question.
“Because it’s not you,” Bai Cha said.
“Zheng Yue” was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Yes, you’re right, because this isn’t me…”
She covered her face and sobbed softly.
“But it’s too late…”
She had already lost herself.
“But we can destroy this world, as long as you answer a few of my questions.”
Bai Cha finally revealed the entire map of the Yan Kingdom and showed her dagger.
