Su Yun was a little nervous.

But as the two drew closer, Su Yun took a good look at them. They were a man and a woman, and seemed to be a couple—maybe even husband and wife.

Su Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least they didn’t look like bad people.

But when the two came closer, the way they looked her over left Su Yun blushing from head to toe.

The woman looked at her with open disdain.

It was late at night, in a small alley, and she was dressed in fancy clothes. It didn’t take much imagination to figure out what kind of “work” the woman was in.

The man beside her leered at Su Yun. If his girlfriend hadn’t been there, he’d have gone over to ask her how much she charged.

As the two walked past, they kept talking.

“I told you, those beauties everyone worships are all no good. Who knows what they get up to at night? You saw that, right?” the woman said to her boyfriend, looking smug.

“Yeah, yeah. You’re the best.”

The man answered quickly, though he couldn’t help wondering: When had streetwalkers started looking this good?

The light was dim, but he’d gotten a clear look.

That girl just now was prettier than the stars on TV.

Someone that gorgeous had no business working the streets. Was the competition in that line of work really that fierce?

…

Su Yun waited until the two were out of sight.

She covered her face with both hands, wishing she could run straight home.

“I really didn’t think this through.”

When she’d taken this mission, she’d thought the worst she’d have to deal with was some kind of physical danger.

As long as she had enough fighting power, the mission would be pretty simple.

After all, dancing in the square or dancing on a livestream would’ve been way too embarrassing.

But now...

Only two people had seen her, but she’d clearly been mistaken for a “working girl.”

She’d rushed to take the mission and hadn’t thought it through.

“Aaaah! I’m such an idiot!”

At that moment, Su Yun felt like dying. It was her first day in this new world, and turning into a woman was one thing—she could say she’d done it to save the world, because she’d had no choice.

But what was with people mistaking her for someone in the world’s oldest profession?

If she’d known, she might as well have gone dancing in the square.

At least then she’d only have to deal with public humiliation.

She wouldn’t have to be mistaken for this.

“Ding-dong. The host has been humiliated by being mistaken for a working girl. Humiliation points +1,000.”

Huh?

Right! As long as she felt humiliated, she could earn tokens even without completing the mission.

Without a second thought, Su Yun opened the [Shop] and bought a vial of genetic enhancement serum worth 1,000 humiliation points.

A vial of pale blue serum appeared in Su Yun’s hand.

She drank it in one go. A surge of strength welled up inside her.

Name: Su Yun

Gender: Female

Strength: 34

Agility: 29

Intelligence: 21

Spirit: 0

Overall Combat Power: D-rank

…

Su Yun threw a few punches and tried out some of the kickboxing moves she’d learned.

She even felt as if her movements were tearing through the air around her.

When she tested her running speed, it proved far beyond that of an ordinary person.

She could probably even outrun a sprinter.

“I could take on ten people at once!”

Su Yun was full of confidence. With this newfound power, she’d already forgotten the embarrassment of being mistaken for a streetwalker.

“Once I finish this mission, I’m going to beat up that kid Chu Feng.”

“He’s definitely getting a beating. I mean it!”

…

While Su Yun was talking to herself, three more people appeared in the distance.

The moment Su Yun saw them, her confidence fizzled out again…

“Am I about to be mistaken for a streetwalker all over again…?”

So embarrassing.

As the three came closer and Su Yun got a good look at them, an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.

The three of them looked like small-time thugs.

Once they got close enough to see what Su Yun looked like, they started making advances.

“Hey, pretty girl. Come have some fun with us.”

“Holy crap, I’ve never seen a streetwalker this hot before.”

“But let’s get one thing straight: the three of us aren’t paying. Your bad luck running into us—we’re getting our fun for free.”

Su Yun had been bracing herself for another embarrassing encounter, but her spirits lifted in an instant.

Rather than be misunderstood and have no way to explain herself, beating them up was clearly the better option.

And it’d be self-defense, too!

…

The alley was dim.

Chu Feng rode his bicycle aimlessly through the streets.

He had this strange feeling, as if something were drawing him toward a particular place.

It was just up ahead!

In an instant, four people appeared before Chu Feng.

Three grown men were slowly closing in on a young woman.

The situation looked extremely tense.

This is bad! At this rate, that girl’s in danger.

I have to save her.

Chu Feng didn’t know why, but even though he was usually calm, this time he found himself acting on impulse.

He tossed his bicycle by the roadside and immediately rushed over to shield the girl.

Normally, he might’ve called the police first, then looked for passersby who could help.

But today, he charged straight in.

“Let go of that girl!”

Chu Feng rushed over and put himself between the girl and the three thugs, facing them alone.

“I’ve already called the police! If you don’t leave now, they’ll be here any minute!” Chu Feng bluffed.

…

The three thugs were clearly intimidated.

For a moment, they didn’t know what to do.

They were just street thugs, after all. Usually, they only dared to extort people or collect debts.

Hearing that the police had been called, they were instinctively afraid.

“Should we get out of here?”

“Damn it, what a pain.”

“You, kid. I’ve got your face memorized. Don’t let me see you around again.”

The three thugs cursed as they left.

…

Su Yun had been about to try out a really cool move she’d seen in her mind.

A spinning hook kick that would send all three scumbags flying.

But before she could make a move, a man stepped in front of her.

He even shouted something about letting the girl go.

Was he trying to play the hero and save the beauty?

But the man’s voice sounded kind of familiar…

Then the man told the three thugs he’d already called the police.

And just like that, the three thugs left.

Su Yun looked helpless. She hadn’t needed saving at all. She’d been planning to use those three to test out her moves…

With her current strength, even professional fighters probably wouldn’t stand a chance against her. Her Strength and Agility stats were on a completely different level.

Still, she couldn’t really blame the man in front of her.

After all, if she’d been an ordinary girl, he would’ve rushed in to save her.

…

Well, she should at least be polite and thank him.

“Thank you for saving me,” Su Yun said in her perfect voice, sweet as a song.

The man in front of her was a good Samaritan, after all. She hoped he’d keep up the good work.
