Starting with a Thunderbolt?! / Pretty Boy in a World Ruled by Women
Xia Keke blinked her innocent eyes and looked over. When she saw the people in front of her, she felt that she had seen Ling Mengxue and the other person somewhere before. They looked vaguely familiar, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She just took a few quick steps and rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye, she was beside Ling Mengxue and the others, her face full of anticipation. "Sister Feng, what about me! I want to go to 'Happy Town' too!"
"Master, don't you have training today? If Principal Meng finds out, you'll be in big trouble!" The female auditor paused for a moment, then immediately reminded her with a smile.
"It's okay, it definitely won't happen!" Xia Keke shook her head, showing no sign of backing down.
There's been so much going on in the United Alliance lately, the older sisters are all incredibly busy, they don't have time to worry about her at all!
Moreover, she knew in her heart that if she didn't seize this opportunity, it would be even more impossible for her to play this type of dungeon again in the future.
Hearing their conversation, Ye Yiren's mind went blank for a moment, and she was inexplicably surprised.
Is this little girl actually their alliance's 'cutest girl'??
It feels a little different from what I imagined!
She's only been here a short time and doesn't know many things yet. Meeting the leader so suddenly is making her feel a little awkward. Should she say hello?
Just as Ye Yiren was lost in thought, Xia Keke looked over and pleaded, "Sister, you're going to 'Happy Town,' right? Can you take me with you? Sister Feng said there are no tickets left, so we can share one."
The young female auditor nodded and reminded them, "However, once you share a ticket to enter the secret realm, you will no longer be able to participate in the assessment, nor will you obtain any identity. The dungeon rewards will also be automatically canceled. It's up to you to decide. If you're going to go together, please take care of Miss Xia."
"Ah, but my newcomer trial..." Ye Yiren hesitated. She'd finally secured this opportunity; was she really going to just let it go like this?
But being able to latch onto a powerful figure doesn't seem like a bad deal, right?
"It's alright, Yi Ren, just use mine. It doesn't matter to me anyway," Ling Mengxue said calmly, seemingly unconcerned compared to her. "Besides, not having an identity will give you more freedom to act, which will help you investigate the main plot better, right?"
Ye Yiren: "..."
"Thank you, big brother, you're such a good person!" Upon hearing this, Xia Keke's face lit up with joy. Her small lips curled up slightly, her big eyes sparkled with laughter, and she couldn't help but take Ling Mengxue's hand.
"Alright~" Ye Yiren sighed helplessly, not knowing what else to say.
I failed to latch onto a powerful figure, and someone else beat me to it.
After careful consideration, she had figured out the situation. Actually, the newcomer assessment and trials weren't that important. If she could be selected by the leader, wouldn't that be a huge win?
Huh? I actually hesitated!
Ling Mengxue turned her head and glanced at her, her expression somewhat strange.
I wonder what Ye Yiren was thinking. Wasn't this problem solved?
Why do I feel even more depressed than before?
She glanced down at the secret realm entrance ticket in her hand, and her expression became slightly complicated.
I never imagined that I'd barely escaped before I'd have to go back in for another mission.
"Paradise... uh, no, Bliss Town."
It looks pretty good; at least the corner of the environment shown on the paper is quite beautiful, not much different from the world they live in.
After finalizing the plan, the three of them quickly went into a bedroom next to the hall, ready to start the secret realm instance.
Generally, secret realms open on a specific date and time. This is mainly to give players better preparation time and avoid unforeseen issues that could affect their secret realm journey.
Otherwise, Ye Yiren wouldn't have had to wait so long to continue her newbie trials.
[img=700,811] Chapter 145: Starting with a Lightning Strike?!
"Brother and sister, you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Xia Keke, with her long hair flowing over her shoulders, blinked and asked with a face full of curiosity.
She lay down on the bed without a care in the world, wearing a blueberry-colored princess dress that revealed her long, slender, jade-like legs wrapped in white stockings. She was sweet and charming, undoubtedly the epitome of pure and alluring beauty.
Ling Mengxue also felt that he looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place him.
Having seen so many beautiful girls, she has begun to show early signs of face blindness.
I reckon that, aside from those she knows, all girls look the same to her.
"Hehe, you look familiar too~ Are you really the 'Cute Master'?" Ye Yiren grinned, feeling incredibly excited.
The two were talking, and Ling Mengxue didn't pay much attention to it. As the entrance ticket was activated, she also obtained some information about this secret realm.
Happy Town?
The mission location and story background are in a country called 'Blue Country', or 'Iceblue Empire' for short. Happy Town is a small town within its territory. It has things like computers and mobile phones, but the technology is obviously not that advanced.
She read the information from beginning to end, but when she came to the details of the world, her mind suddenly went blank.
The most crucial part is yet to come. Unexpectedly, this secret realm is still a world where women are respected. However, these things have nothing to do with them; they mainly target their quest town.
Small and medium-sized towns cover a wide area, which means the task is quite difficult, and this will probably make it even more challenging.
"Sister, it's a matriarchal world! We Astral Mark Girl can definitely roam freely in it!"
"Hmph~ Of course! Perfect, I'm naturally a very easygoing person, so this is a good opportunity to try out what it's like to 'pick up a younger brother'~"
Hearing the voice behind her, Ling Mengxue fell silent.
That's a dangerous idea of yours!
However, it was clear that Xia Keke and the others had already received information about the mission and had begun to discuss it.
Finally, as the dungeon notification sounded, the three of them immediately prepared for the mission.
Xia Keke jumped off the bed, tiptoed over, and hugged Ling Mengxue's arm tightly, tilting her head up as she said, "Thank you, big brother. Please guide me inside, I'll protect you~"
"Um, you're hugging me too tight. But you don't need to protect me. Let me watch over you." Ling Mengxue smiled.
This is a matriarchal world! What if such a cute little girl gets bullied if she runs around like that?
She was actually quite speechless about having chosen such a secluded place.
If it's really as detailed in the mission description, then the women in this world are far stronger than the men. Even if they look delicate and weak, they are actually incredibly strong and agile.
Moreover, the woman is the breadwinner of the family, responsible for earning a living. Her worldview has been completely turned upside down, okay?
There, men are no different from women. They put on makeup, gossip, and even wear stockings. It's an eyesore just thinking about it!
Ling Mengxue was completely numb.
How could there be such a bizarre setting?!
"Hi~ my dear little cuties, the journey to Bliss Town is about to begin, please carefully determine your location--"
"Depending on the game's theme, travelers will be teleported to a corresponding secret realm and randomly assigned to a role-playing mode. Of course, everyone can choose to act according to their own wishes, but there will be no rewards, and you might even face suspicion from those around you. We hope everyone will consider this carefully."
A mysterious voice echoed in my mind.
Not only Ling Mengxue and her two companions, but also all the players who went to 'Happy Town' received the mission announcement at the same time.
As they watched their admission tickets slowly turn into fluorescent light and disappear, Ling Mengxue and the others exchanged glances, their faces beaming with smiles.
"It's starting again. I haven't even had a proper rest yet," Ling Mengxue shook her head and sighed inwardly.
It's decided. After this secret realm ends, I'm going straight to Yanjing University to find my girlfriend. Nothing can stop me, I said it.
While the two weren't paying attention, she secretly began modifying the ID panel.
As for the name, I just randomly filled in 'Xiluo Fengxue', the same as before.
It feels a bit cringey, since it's a name I came up with a while ago, and I don't know if it has any hidden meaning.
It doesn't matter, as long as I don't get exposed.
About ten seconds later, their bodies turned into light, a faint silver glint flashed in the air, and the next moment, the cozy little room was completely empty, except for a cup of still-warm water, vaguely indicating that someone had just stayed there...
"Ding! Traveler 'Xiluo Fengxue' has arrived in 'Happy Town'. Your identity verification for this time is... beep beep beep... Detection failed... Boom!!"
At that time, it was the 'Happy Town' of the Blue Country.
In a dark alley, when Ling Mengxue and Xia Keke opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Looking down, he saw that everything about him was exactly the same as when he was in the 'Star Engraving Alliance', with no change in appearance or clothing.
This is likely related to the fact that the two of them shared an admission ticket. They haven't received any work assignments or professional status; they're definitely freelancers.
In a horror world, where ordinary people aren't protected by any rules, they'd probably be killed off in a single round.
Ling Mengxue looked out onto the street. The sounds of screeching brakes and various shouts and noises rose and fell along the long street. The panicked crowd looked as if they had been doused with boiling oil, making it seem very lively and bustling.
"Ahem... Big brother, it seems like we're in a bad situation. What should we do next?"
"..."
Hearing the voice beside her, Ling Mengxue suddenly realized that she had brought a little girl with her before she set off!
"Let's take it one step at a time. We're currently playing the role of free agents, without any official status, so it's best to be cautious."
"Yes, Sister Meng Yi also said that no matter what situation you are in, it's always good to be cautious!" Xia Keke nodded in agreement, then bent down slightly and put her hand under her skirt.
This happened so suddenly that even Ling Mengxue was stunned. She quickly turned around and said, "What are you doing?! Please tell me before you need to pee!"
"Huh? Of course, you take off your stockings. Girls in this world aren't allowed to wear stockings, or they'll be called 'sex pretentious'." Xia Keke raised her face and smiled.
That smile is so pure, warm like a spring breeze, it warms the heart when you see it.
And she moved quickly, pulling off the pantyhose with a single tug, then conjured a chair from the remaining part to continue her work...
[Img=500,500]htt The protagonist's ideal character design~☆
Chapter 146 A Beautiful Boy in a Feminist World
In three minutes, Xia Keke removed all the things that shouldn't be on her body.
In this fantasy world, it's best to avoid wearing things like bows and floral ribbons on girls. Girls wearing these things will be mistaken for prostitutes, which is unacceptable.
While skirts can be worn by both boys and girls, wearing them in an overly cute way is not advisable.
After changing into a simpler outfit using the Destiny Sign, Xia Keke immediately looked up with a smile, "Big brother, I'm all changed! Do you want to change too? You can borrow my clothes!"
"..."
What do you need to borrow? A skirt?
Sorry, I don't have that kind of fetish!
Ling Mengxue was speechless for a moment, then shook her head in frustration. "Don't you think what you just did was a bit inappropriate? You're a girl..."
"It's okay, it's okay! I can tell that you're a good person. If we don't know each other, let's get to know each other now! I feel like we click!" Xia Keke blinked and said nonchalantly.
Ling Mengxue stared at her blankly, then sighed helplessly.
Anyway, she's just a little girl, so let her do whatever she wants. Her main role is that of a guardian.
The game lasts for 5 days. Apart from them, there are a total of 49 players in the town, each of whom has assumed their own identity.
Cell phone signals are completely blocked in this secret area; it can only be used for playing games and for lighting.
"It's getting dark. Let's find a place to eat and sleep first. We can talk about everything else tomorrow."
Ling Mengxue instinctively took out a 'Soul Lamp', but then quickly put it away after realizing what she had done.
It's true that spending too much time in a horror world makes it hard to break some habits.
Xia Keke looked at her with some confusion, then, as if she had thought of something, she smiled sweetly at Ling Mengxue, her eyes curving like crescent moons, and nodded excitedly.
"Can you see my ID?" Ling Mengxue pointed to her head. Although there was nothing there, as a player, unless someone deliberately hid it, they could still see the other person's name.
"I saw it."
"Okay, let's go then."
Leaving the dark corner and stepping onto the street, they were greeted by sunshine again, and both of them felt much better.
Looking at the bustling traffic and towering buildings before her, Ling Mengxue suddenly felt an urge to burst into tears of joy.
Finally, we can go to a decent place!
The pedestrians on the street were basically the same as them, and the environment was very clean and tidy, giving people a comfortable, neat and generous feeling.
Beside her, Xia Keke was equally excited, habitually holding Ling Mengxue's hand, looking around like a curious child, and occasionally offering a few words of praise.
Ling Mengxue felt the warmth of his palm but didn't pay much attention to it.
