48. New Mission
After returning home and taking off those exaggerated shoes, Su Qi heard the system’s voice emanating faintly.
“It’s good that earlier it was a little boy, easier to fool. If the host’s secrets just now were known by a normal man, I’m sure the host can imagine what the outcome would be!”
Only then did Su Qi belatedly sense a hint of crisis. The story developments in many anime and adult videos were just like what the system said.
The dirty male perverted protagonist would inadvertently capture some private moments of the female protagonist, then use those secrets to blackmail the female protagonist, making them step by step become…
What left the deepest impression on Su Qi was a multi-episode serialized animation where the male protagonist was a taxi driver. Watching him use leverage to catch one beautiful girl after another, followed by all kinds of varied play, it was still vivid in his mind now.
Thinking if that little boy just now was a pervert and he was also photographed, wouldn’t he be… He shivered.
Before getting underwear and a bra, it’s best not to go out! Su Qi secretly made up his mind.
Just then, the phone in his school uniform pocket rang. Su Qi originally thought it was Anning calling, but upon opening the phone, he unexpectedly found it was that jerk Wu Wei.
“Brother Qi ah, when are you coming back? In the days without you, Dongxu and I have already skipped class for two days!”
Su Qi found it a bit amusing. Skipping class usually only meant skipping a morning at most, how could they skip for two days?
“You guys can’t get up in the afternoon either?” Su Qi asked in a hoarse voice.
“Brother Qi, how come your voice sounds more and more girly? Although you were already quite girly before.”
Hearing this, three black lines appeared on Su Qi’s forehead. “Why can’t you get up in the afternoon? Speak.”
“Ay, you don’t know how lazy that guy Wang Dongxu is. On the first day, we both slept in, thinking we’d go in the afternoon. But who knew, Wang Dongxu pretended to sleep at noon, just wanting me to go buy food. I caught him but he wouldn’t admit it.”
“So you two didn’t go downstairs at all today?” Su Qi asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Right!”
“So from last night until now, you haven’t eaten at all?”
“Right!”
“Then you’re calling me now to have me bring you two food!”
“Brother Qi, you’re truly a divine being. My admiration for you is like the surging river…” Wang Dongxu said a long string of words.
Sitting on the bed, after listening to all the praise, Su Qi asked, “Is that all besides bringing food?”
“That’s all!” Wu Wei said.
“Then I’m hanging up.”
“Brother Qi, you haven’t heard what I want to eat yet?” Wu Wei’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Because I also didn’t plan on bringing you two food!” After saying that, Su Qi hung up the phone.
Who would have thought that the real-life version of the monk drinking water incident would happen in my dorm room.
Those two lazybones are hopeless, actually not eating for a day because of a bet, just because they were too lazy to go downstairs.
Looking at himself, even without underwear and a bra, risking so much to go return the lunchbox—compared to that, Su Qi suddenly felt his image became lofty!
The phone started vibrating and ringing again. Seeing it was Wu Wei’s call again, Su Qi picked up.
“What else?”
“Brother Qi, how are your photos coming along? Got any stock for me and Dongxu to see?”
“Still conceptualizing. What’s up? If it’s about bringing food, don’t even mention it. I’m a bit far from school now.” Su Qi looked at the bulge of his school uniform. If he returned to the dorm now, the odds were likely more against him than for him.
“Ah, no need to bring food. Just wanted to see if you had any good photos. After all, Brother Qi, you’re girly, so you must look good cross-dressing too.”
Su Qi highly suspected Wu Wei specifically came to pick a fight with him. Even his breathing got heavier, making the rabbits even more upright due to the breathing.
“Anything else?”
“Ah, it’s like this. The English teacher went crazy because too many people skipped this class. Said that next class, whoever doesn’t attend will directly fail. Since you don’t come to class normally, no need to come to the exam either, guaranteed fail. Just reminding you Brother Qi, the class the day after tomorrow afternoon, come back if you can make it!”
Su Qi hung up the phone, feeling a headache coming on. English is the subject most Chinese people dislike to begin with. University students who had barely gotten through three years of high school English hated this university English even more. Thinking they could finally relax a bit in university.
As a result, in the first exam of freshman year, nearly 30% of people failed the English subject. It wasn’t that the questions were hard, but that the English teacher, Old Lady Liu, was too strict.
If she says you fail, you fail. You really don’t even need to go to the exam. Even if you score 100 on the exam, you still fail.
This is also why despite being only in her early 30s, she is called Old Lady Liu. And the standard by which she fails people in her subject has gradually been discovered—after she says: “Those who don’t come to the next class will all fail.” Those who don’t come really do fail.
Fortunately, the frequency isn’t high. It only happens about twice a semester.
Su Qi didn’t expect his luck to be so bad, actually running into it at this juncture.
Going would be too dangerous without underwear and a bra. Not going would be equivalent to failing. Thinking of the make-up and having to go to school early after failing, plus paying a make-up exam fee, Su Qi felt it was troublesome and distressing.
Just then, the system spoke up:
“System suggestion: The host can go to class in female attire at that time.”
“Female attire? Where do I have female attire? I only have these two sets of clothes on me, without even an extra pair of underpants!” Su Qi responded.
But he heard the system reply: “The day after tomorrow, the host’s transformation will end, and the photography mission can begin. The host can wear the character costume rented by this system to go to school and attend class. But please note, host, the clothing is effective for one hour. It will disappear after expiration.”
“But each class is an hour and a half, plus the commute time. Calculating it this way, there’s simply not enough time!” Su Qi expressed his concern.
“Host, this system also really wants to help you, but doesn’t have permission for more. So the host can only think of a solution on your own. Please understand.”
Alright, Su Qi admitted the system indeed had no obligation to help him.
Thinking it over, Su Qi decided to forget it. Not counting traffic jams, the commute would take at least 15 minutes one way. This didn’t even include the time spent going up and down stairs.
If conservatively estimated, Su Qi calculated that it would only leave him thirty minutes for class. Plus if he cosplayed a character—one must know he was a guy, suddenly cosplaying a female character, would the English teacher be able to recognize it was him?
It’s better to just accept the make-up exam with peace of mind!
Just as Su Qi was about to give up, he heard the system’s voice: “Host, although I can’t increase the duration of your clothes, I’ve applied for some benefits for you.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering an adventure mission—striving to avoid failing!”
Mission description: In order to escape the fate of failing, the host will wear cosplay attire to the English class the day after tomorrow and attend this social activity, and gain the recognition of Old Lady Liu.
Mission reward: One pair of light blue cotton underpants.
Failure penalty: None.
Friendly reminder: Pay attention to the flow of time. After one hour, the clothing will disappear.
Alright! Looking at this mission, Su Qi felt his system was quite considerate. And the point about no penalty for failure, Su Qi liked that a lot.
He opened the mall and looked at that pair of light blue underpants of the same style.
Light blue underpants: Hatsune Miku’s favorite style. Although the light blue striped pattern is simple, it can make the viewer feel cheerful.
It has a multiplied appeal to 2D otaku men. So be careful not to let weird uncles see you. If they see, they’ll do bad things to you!
This improper introduction was simply outrageous, like sexual harassment. Who would want to let others see their underpants to make them feel cheerful? Isn’t that perversion?
He also checked the most important thing: the price.
Price: 38,500
This pricing would make even the rich cry. Looking at his boxers worn on the ground, Su Qi really couldn’t understand—based on what could this, not even using half the fabric of boxers, buy several thousand of his boxers? Based on what?
As he was silently criticizing in his heart, the system spoke: “So does the host accept?”
“Of course… I accept. Can’t keep wearing no underpants, can I?!”
System: Host, you’re so pragmatic!
