You have to wear underwear, right?

The next morning, a small-scale battle broke out in the Su family.

"I'm not going! I'd rather die than go!"

Su Li clutched the bedroom door frame tightly, her knuckles white from the force.

"Brother! Can you be reasonable?"

Su Lin Yue stood at the doorway, her expression one of disappointment. "Look at what you're wearing now! My old t-shirt! And you're not wearing anything underneath! Don't you feel uncomfortable?!"

"I'm just not going!" Su Li refused to budge.

Seeing her older brother like this, Su Lin Yue sighed, but her eyes then sharpened.

"Fine, if you don't want to go out, that's okay, but you still need to buy clothes, right? And underwear, right? Those are necessities."

Su Lin Yue took a yellow soft tape measure out of her bag, a "professional" smile appearing on her face. "Since you don't want to go, I'll have to buy them for you. Come on, lift your hand, I'll measure you."

Su Li looked at the tape measure and instinctively tried to shrink back, but Su Lin Yue grabbed her.

"Don't move! What are you shy about, you're a girl!"

What a load of crap, a girl! Su Li roared inwardly, but her body remained stiffly still.

"Lift your hand."

"...Okay."

The soft tape measure circled her chest, a slight tightening sensation.

Su Lin Yue tutted in surprise as she measured, "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have so much potential... Is this size B? No, it seems like it should be a bit bigger..."

"Shut up! Just measure, no commentary!" Su Li gritted her teeth.

To get an accurate reading, some contact was unavoidable.

"Hiss..." The unfamiliar touch made Su Li stiffen, and a strange sensation washed over her.

"Are... are you done yet, Yue Yue!" Su Li's voice trembled.

This feeling was too weird! It was like her body's sensations were amplified tenfold.

"Okay, okay, I'm done. Look at you."

Su Lin Yue put away the tape measure and patted Su Li's butt. "Alright, you stay put at home. I'll go to the mall and buy them for you. I've arranged to meet my good friend there."

"Then please, whatever you do, don't say it's for me!" Su Li leaned weakly against the wall, emphasizing her plea.

Su Lin Yue patted Su Li reassuringly, "Don't worry, big brother. Our measurements are similar, I'll just say I'm buying them for myself."

"I'm leaving!"

With a "bang," the security door closed, and the room instantly fell silent.

Su Li let out a long sigh, slumping onto the sofa as if her bones had been removed.

"What is this situation..." She ran a hand through her hair, feeling agitated.

Her long hair was smooth as silk, but also incredibly troublesome. Just moving a little earlier had brought waves of faint itching.

And... Su Li subconsciously looked down.

The loose clothing, she had never worn such soft clothes before, and there had been unavoidable contact...

That never-before-experienced sensation was constantly reminding her of the drastic changes happening to her body.

"No, I need to calm down."

"I, Su Li, am a real man! This is just a shell, just a shell!"

Su Li tried to hypnotize herself as she got up, shuffling in slippers towards the washbasin. She wanted to splash some water on her face to clear her head.

Standing in front of the mirror, Su Li took a deep breath and looked up.

Yesterday, she hadn't had the courage to look in the mirror. Today, seeing herself, her breath hitched.

The girl in the mirror had a waterfall of black hair, her skin as fair as the finest white jade.

Her features were delicate, her eyes like paintings, possessing both the innocence of a young girl and a captivating allure.

"Is this really me?" Su Li reached out dazedly, pinching her cheek.

It was soft and incredibly bouncy.

Then, her gaze slowly drifted downwards, settling on the undeniable curves.

As if possessed, or perhaps out of instinctive curiosity, or maybe to confirm the reality of it all...

Su Li closed her eyes and reached out a sinful hand...

"Huh?" Su Li's eyes snapped open.

"This, this is too much!"

This was a brand new version she had never experienced before.

As a former guy, of course, she had fantasized...

And she had also been curious about how it felt to be a girl versus a guy.

And now...

"This..." Su Li's eyes went distant for a moment, and she subconsciously reached out to continue...

"Slap!" A crisp sound of a slap echoed in the restroom.

Su Li clutched her burning cheek, her eyes instantly clearing.

"Su Li! What are you doing?!"

"You're a man! A man! Even though you lost your brother, your soul is straight! Not bent!"

Su Li berated herself frantically, trying to defend her precarious gender identity in this way.

Only when the redness on her cheeks slowly faded did she return to the living room, dejected like a defeated rooster.

Sitting at the table, Su Li forced herself to shift her focus and began to think about her future life plans.

"Although the savings and compensation left by Mom and Dad are quite generous, plus this house, as long as I don't spend recklessly, it's enough for Yueyue and me to live for a long time."

Su Li took out a notebook and started doing the accounts.

Before, she used to take on some game boosting jobs. Although it was hard work, it was still an income.

But ever since entering Eternal Realm, she hadn't taken on any of those regular boosting jobs.

"Living off savings isn't a sustainable plan," Su Li mused, twirling her pen and sighing.

"It would be great if I could stream. With my current skills, my popularity would explode."

"Or if the gold coins in the game could be cashed out."

She was a rich man in the game. Not to mention anything else, just the gold coins alone were a huge sum.

The moment this thought arose.

"Ding." A metallic clinking sound suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

Su Li paused, then looked down.

On the table in front of her, a gold coin lay quietly.

"I... what the f***?"

Su Li swore, her hand trembling as she reached out and picked up the gold coin.

"This is..." Su Li's pupils dilated. "This is the f***ing gold coin from the game!!"

Items from the game could be brought into reality? Su Li's heart pounded wildly.

"If gold coins can be brought out, what about equipment?" Su Li suddenly stood up, her eyes sharpening.

She closed her eyes and tried to summon her bound weapon.

"Come forth! Revered Corrupted Dragon Sword!" Su Li shouted in a chuunibyou manner, her right hand forming a fist in the air.

"Hum--" A faint tremor ran through the air.

Su Li could clearly feel a vast power responding to her summon.

The Revered Corrupted Dragon Sword was desperately trying to descend into this world.

However, the next second.

"Ugh..." A wave of intense dizziness washed over her. Su Li's legs instantly went weak, and she almost fell to her knees.

"Cough, cough..." Su Li leaned on the table, gasping for breath, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on her forehead.

"Failed..." But she wasn't disappointed; instead, her eyes shone brighter.

"Although it didn't come out, that feeling was real! It's just that my current real-world body is too weak to bear its descent."

"Meaning, as long as I continue to get stronger, my real-world self might also gain the power from the game?"

This discovery made Su Li both excited and terrified. Excited because she might not have to eat beef in the future.

Terrified because...

"I've already turned into a woman. Will I turn into a skeleton in the future?"

The thought of potentially becoming a rattling skeleton in a dress walking around in reality made Su Li's scalp tingle.

"Should I even continue playing this game?"

Just as Su Li was caught in deep indecision.

"I congratulate you on getting rich..." The phone on the table suddenly vibrated wildly.

Caller ID: [Stupid One More].

Su Li quickly answered. That girl had only been out for less than half an hour, why was she calling already?

"Hello, Yueyue?..."

"Brother!!! Help!!!" From the other end of the line came Su Lin Yue's terrified scream.

"There are monsters in the mall!"
