Pour Boss Kaguya a Cup of cappuccino

If he even dared to download Little World Game, then it couldn't possibly be a virus. Naturally, Mo Yi downloaded it.

So Mo Yi confirmed the download and clicked the download option on his computer as well.

Little World Game finished downloading instantly, while the computer slowly counted down, making Mo Yi worry that it might burn out his memory.

After the download was complete, Mo Yi clicked "Open" on the interface only he could see. A breathtaking ink-wash painting appeared: a moon as large as a salted duck egg took up a quarter of the entire picture, while below it lay a lake reflecting the bright moon, surrounded by rows upon rows of lush green bamboo.

Of course, the main figure was a beautiful young woman with her back to Mo Yi. Standing upon the moon's reflection, she wore a pink Twelve-layered robe, her black hair cascading to her waist. With one hand touching the moon, she seemed to be dancing, yet also seemed to be gazing at the moon and longing for home.

Why was Mo Yi so sure she was beautiful? Because her silhouette alone made him want to give her a hundred points. Well, the full score was ten. The slightly ink-wash art style, along with the clearly Eastern-style Heroine, perfectly matched Mo Yi's preferences. So even if he gave her an extra ninety points, he wasn't afraid she would become conceited.

As for what she looked like from the front, it was better left to the imagination. After all, the most beautiful things always existed in fantasy.

If this communication software had really been made by Her Highness the Princess herself, as she claimed, Mo Yi felt that he ought to become good friends with her. This background alone was countless times better than the WeChat opening screen that always made people think the world was ending and the moon was about to crash into Earth.

Becoming friends with her definitely had great "money" prospects.

Chapter 20: Pour Boss Kaguya a Cup of cappuccino

Two seconds later, the opening animation ended, and a friend list similar to those used by ordinary messaging apps popped up.

There was already one added friend on it: "World's Number One Princess." Her avatar was the background image that had appeared when the software opened, and it was flashing.

Using his consciousness, Mo Yi tapped the flashing avatar and opened the chat window. There was a voice call request from her.

"Hello, Her Highness the Princess?"

Mo Yi accepted it and asked, just to confirm.

"So this is Hu Xiao Kai's voice? It really is ordinary."

Then an exceptionally pleasant female voice rang directly in Mo Yi's mind through Little World Game. The only words he could think of were "clear" and "gentle," but even those, along with any other embellishments, were inadequate to describe it.

So this was Her Highness the Princess's voice?

Yeah, there was no mistake. It really was a woman's voice!

But she had mocked him the moment she opened her mouth. Old Master Mo Yi naturally couldn't tolerate that. After two seconds of silence, he replied, "Where did you buy that voice changer? The quality is amazing. It can make your voice sound that good? I want one too."

Houraisan Kaguya: "..."

At first, she had worried that he would be shocked and captivated by her voice, then become completely enthralled.

Never in her wildest dreams had she expected that, even now, he still suspected she was a cross-dressing streamer on the other side of a computer screen, constantly going "boo-hoo-hoo" with a voice changer.

Could a voice changer possibly imitate this princess's voice?!

Kaguya complained speechlessly.

"This is this princess's actual voice—"

Mo Yi: "Your voice changer works well, but your choice of words has already given you away."

Houraisan Kaguya: "..."

"Where?"

Kaguya thought back. Had there really been such a thing? She had only said a few sentences.

Mo Yi glanced at the Honor of Kings matchmaking screen, which was still searching for a match. He softened his tone, making his voice sound more serious.

"If you really were a Princess, then when referring to yourself, you should say something like 'this humble one' or 'watashi.' What kind of Princess calls herself 'this princess'?"

"What era are we living in now? Why fuss over all that? Feudal dregs like you are unacceptable!"

Kaguya could connect to the outside world and even other worlds' networks to freeload on Wi-Fi. After absorbing all kinds of online knowledge, her way of thinking was far more fashionable than Mo Yi's. He was just a shut-in who stayed home playing Honor of Kings and never visited forums or message boards. She could argue nonsense about the military strength of every country on military forums, claiming that if she were given a month, she could retake wherever. She could also head to Bilibili, where talented people gathered, and trade stocks with all sorts of big shots, debating who was truly number one in the world.

Kaguya had even read quite a few fanworks about herself. She had also published Touhou Project fanfiction starring herself, where she punched Yukari Yakumo, kicked Reimu Hakurei, and conquered all of Gensokyo.

When she was with people who knew her, or when she needed to put on the airs of the Moon Princess, Kaguya naturally had to speak in an old-fashioned, refined manner. But Mo Yi had been her online friend for over nine years. Why did she need to worry about any of that? She could speak however she wanted.

"Forget it. This can't be explained clearly. I'll just let you see this princess's peerless beauty with your own eyes."

With that, a video chat request began flashing in the chat window.

Mo Yi: "..."

Video calling at the slightest disagreement—this really was Her Highness the Princess's style. Whenever they played together, she was the type who had to show off when they were winning, show off even more when they were losing, and fight anyone who refused to accept it.

Actually, Mo Yi had already formed a bold guess.

In his previous life, he had been a game planner. Naturally, he knew the famous Touhou Project, commonly known as Touhou Gensokyo. He had even once been a Touhou fan. But after being reincarnated into this world, he could no longer come into contact with it, and he had gradually forgotten the past.

Besides, when he had first met her, he had always assumed she was the kind of cross-dressing streamer who loved going "boo-hoo-hoo," was Bronze under normal circumstances, and became a Grandmaster after putting on women's clothing. So he had never looked too deeply into her username. They were only gaming partners, after all. As long as her skills were good, why did he need to know who she was in real life?

Once that fixed impression had formed, no matter what she said afterward, he had only assumed she was joking and never investigated further.

But what had happened today made Mo Yi sober up. Combining her username, "World's Number One Princess," the jokes she had made before, and the name of the cross-world chat software she was using—"Eien-tei Online"—if Mo Yi still couldn't guess her identity, then Aqua had truly blinded him.

Anyone who could control time was absolutely a top-tier big shot, no matter what world they came from. And for Mo Yi right now, Houraisan Kaguya was undoubtedly a true big shot.

Just like the laws of universal gravitation, conservation of energy, and the natural law that the poor must kneel before the rich, a pitiful, weak, helpless young man like Mo Yi naturally had to offer tea to a big shot like Kaguya—and it had to be cappuccino.

It wasn't that Mo Yi was mercenary. If you suddenly learned that a good friend you had known for over ten years was actually a big shot with dozens of mines at home, anyone would have the little thought of asking that friend to show them off and carry them to greatness.

Watching the flashing video chat request, Mo Yi struggled inwardly, wondering whether he should become a dog that licked until the end and ultimately had everything.

Don't misunderstand. Mo Yi had no intention of pursuing Houraisan Kaguya, the Moon Princess who had been established as possessing the most Eastern beauty in Touhou Gensokyo.

Leaving aside the fact that they were only online friends, as he had said before, he was merely a pitiful, weak, helpless ordinary transmigrator still struggling to survive. She was a genuine Moon Princess whose family literally had mines, an immortal whose life no longer had any pursuits. No matter how he looked at it, it was only fantasy.

Combined with the fact that, in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, she had toyed with all five men who pursued her, and one of them had even died because of it, how could Mo Yi possibly dare entertain improper thoughts? She was a big shot on the level of a werewolf.

What Mo Yi meant by fawning over her was merely that he wanted to get some knowledge from another world out of her. She was a big shot who had lived for who knew how many years. Anything she casually taught him would surely be something he could never learn elsewhere.

For a Melee Mage like Mo Yi, who aspired to wield lightning, knowledge was the source of a mage's strength. Just thinking about knowledge from another world made him a little excited.

But after that thought surfaced, Mo Yi could not help feeling ashamed. To her, whether he was a friend or merely a little toy to pass the time made no difference to Mo Yi. What mattered was that he had always regarded her as a friend in his heart.

They said a gentleman's friendship was as light as water. Now that he had entertained the thought of extracting benefits from her, he naturally felt deeply ashamed. After all, Mo Yi was an honest man.

With angels and demons fighting in his mind, Mo Yi hesitated for several seconds before throwing away those unnecessary thoughts. Thinking too much now would only waste his energy. When the time came, he could choose according to his heart. Right now, the important thing was to quickly press Accept. He couldn't keep Boss Kaguya waiting.
