After getting dressed, even Su Yun’s status screen had changed.
Name: Su Yun
Gender: Male (in women’s clothing)
Ability: E-rank Charm.
Charm: 91 (lively, energetic beauty)
…
He wanted to complain. Just putting on women’s clothes had gotten him an E-rank ability?
Before this, when he was just himself, he didn’t even have a single ability above E-rank. Talk about useless.
Still, it was a good sign. It proved just how convincing he was in women’s clothes.
At least the system approved.
After checking one last time for anything that might give him away, Su Yun went out and headed for the nearest convenience store.
On the way,
Su Yun felt all kinds of gazes on him—ones he’d never noticed before.
Quite a few people were openly staring at him.
Some even secretly snapped photos of him with their phones…
Su Yun felt a faint sense of revulsion. He was a guy, for crying out loud. What was wrong with these people…
At the same time,
he silently repeated to himself, I’m doing this to save the Earth. I’m doing this to save the Earth…
At last, he made it to the convenience store.
With his face burning from embarrassment, Su Yun rushed inside, grabbed a few things that looked like little buns, then hurried to the register.
Only after paying and walking out did he realize he was screwed.
He was holding several packs of sanitary pads.
His outfit had no pockets or anywhere to stash them, so the only thing he could do was carry the pads in his hands.
Su Yun’s face turned bright red.
Holding the pads, he stopped caring about the looks from passersby and sprinted all the way home.
At last, he understood what humiliation felt like.
“Ding-dong. The host has felt humiliated after being seen holding sanitary pads while dressed as a woman. Humiliation points +100.”
The system actually said it out loud…
Su Yun grumbled to himself.
“Ding-dong. Congratulations, host, on completing the beginner mission. You’ve received a beginner’s gift pack.”
“The host will become female and receive an S-rank feminine voice, S-rank female looks, and an S-rank female figure.”
“The host has received the S-rank ability Charm, which can greatly influence the behavior of the opposite sex.”
“Will the host accept the beginner’s gift pack?”
…
???“
What was wrong with this system? He’d completed the beginner mission to save the world!
Not to turn into a freaking woman!
Su Yun could tell something was off about this system.
“Ding-dong. The host’s confusion has been detected. An explanation follows.”
“This is the Salvation System. It has accurately predicted the basic currency and beginner rewards most likely to help the host save the world.”
“If the host refuses the beginner rewards, the chances of saving the world will be greatly reduced.”
“After successfully saving the world, the host can use items from the shop to return to his current male form.”
…
Su Yun faced a difficult choice.
He could become a girl and receive all those rewards. The benefits were that his chances of saving the world would increase dramatically, but he’d feel incredibly awkward.
Or he could stay as he was, but his chances of saving the world would drop.
And the system had said they’d drop by a lot!
That probably meant he’d have no chance at all.
After thinking it over for a while, Su Yun finally made up his mind.
He was going to save the world!
After all, if the world ceased to exist, what would it matter whether he was a man or a woman, or whether he wore women’s clothes? Su Yun himself wouldn’t exist anymore, either.
Besides, the system had said he could change back after saving the world. No need to panic.
He only had three years to save the world.
A three-year pact!
That was the promise Su Yun made to himself: in three years, he’d save the world and become a man again.
As Su Yun made up his mind,
a flash of white light swept past.
Su Yun changed from “he” to “she.”
The body that had once been completely flat now had curves.
Su Yun walked over to the mirror.
She was stunned.
A breathtaking young woman looked back at her from the mirror.
At that moment, she wore a look of pure shock.
Compared to Su Yun in women’s clothes before, this girl wore the same outfit, but carried herself with far more elegance—like a flower blooming high on a snowy mountain.
Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, so lovely they made you want to protect her.
If eyes like those ever filled with tears, they could move any man.
Looking at the woman in the mirror, Su Yun felt that even “fish sink and geese fall, the moon hides and flowers blush” couldn’t describe her.
A beauty like this… was me?
…
So, he’d become an unparalleled beauty.
Which raised the question:
how exactly was this supposed to help save the world?
Name: Su Yun
Gender: Female
Ability: S-rank Charm.
Charm: 100 (peerless beauty, the pinnacle of humanity)
Humiliation points: 100
…
“Ding-dong. The host has successfully accepted the beginner’s gift pack.”
“Ding-dong. The host may now accept the first mission.”
“Accept,” Su Yun said.
“This mission has three options.”
“Mission 1: Dance to an anime song in the city-center plaza and draw a crowd. Humiliation points +1,000. Reward: Gene Optimization Fluid.”
“Mission 2: Livestream yourself dancing in revealing clothes and stir up a heated discussion. Humiliation points +2,000. Reward: C-rank supernatural ability.”
“Mission 3: Late at night, wear a nightclub outfit and stand at the end of a deserted alley. Humiliation points +3,000. Reward: Salvation Society organizational system.”
