The soft sensation beneath her jolted Fang Chang awake. Everything she saw was the bedroom she’d been in before she left, yet now it all felt strangely unfamiliar.
“Was it a dream?”
She raised her hand. Her palm was far too small, and through her fingers she could see two long, slender, snow-white thighs.
“Mm, guess not…”
She got to her feet. She wasn’t disappointed or excited; she simply glanced at what she was wearing. Li Zirong really hadn’t lied—this outfit changed along with its owner. Now the little skirt was still stretched snugly around her waist!
The only thing that mattered right now was getting used to her powers and creating a walking substitute.
Otherwise, what was a little girl like her doing in a guys’ dorm room? That was way over the line!
Fang Chang had no intention of getting labeled a pervert.
This was so important that she’d completely ignored the system’s repeated notification chimes.
She jumped off the bed. Thankfully, her outfit was good enough that she didn’t have to do anything suspicious, like put on boys’ clothes. But how to get out was still a problem.
“First, I’ll find my phone. I crossed over because of it, so it’s gotta be a bug.”
Fang Chang began searching everywhere for her phone.
When she first crossed over, she’d been alone in her dorm, bored and looking for a new game to download. The name The Game of God was so ridiculous that she’d clicked on it out of curiosity—and when she woke up, she was in the Zombie World!
But she’d crossed over without her phone, so it should’ve been left behind in the Present World.
But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find it.
“Could it have turned into the system?”
The more Fang Chang thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Otherwise, why would the phone that had served as her original vessel have disappeared?
“What a waste of my SIM card—no, this isn’t the time for that! How am I supposed to leave looking like this? This is a guys’ dorm!”
She couldn’t just stay in the dorm to get used to her powers. Without her phone, she had no idea how much time had passed in the Present World, which meant her roommates could come back at any moment. If they caught her, she’d be in trouble!
But the things you least want to happen are often the things most likely to happen.
A key turned in the dorm-room lock.
Quick as a flash, Fang Chang made a flying dash to the door and grabbed the handle.
The person outside soon realized something was wrong.
“Why won’t it open?”
Someone beside him asked, “Is your key broken?”
“No. The lock turned, but the door won’t budge.”
“Let me see.”
The person outside still couldn’t get anywhere.
After all, the strength of a little girl like Fang Chang was beyond anything an ordinary person could match!
At last, the people outside came to a conclusion.
“The lock must be broken. Come on, let’s get the dorm supervisor to lend us some tools to pick it.”
Their footsteps gradually faded away.
Fang Chang let out a sigh of relief, her gaze sharpening.
“If not now, when?”
It’d be a real problem if they actually forced the lock!
She quickly opened the door. Her roommate stood right there, carrying a big bag of snacks and reaching for his phone.
He hadn’t even unlocked it yet when Fang Chang came barreling out and startled him.
“A gi… girl…”
Fang Chang’s mind was full of one thing: “Holy crap.”
Turns out all three of her roommates had come back together. This guy had stayed quiet the whole time, so she’d forgotten he was there.
Fang Chang bolted past them.
Well… there went my reputation.
She raced down the stairs and out of the guys’ dorm, startling who knew how many people along the way. Even the dorm supervisor, who was carrying lock-picking tools, was stunned. “W-when did a girl get in here?”
There’s no need to go into what happened after that. The three grown men and the dorm supervisor put their heads together and concluded: Yep! A thief had broken into their room.
Too bad they hadn’t actually lost anything.
The dorm supervisor pulled up the security footage from the entrance, but even that couldn’t make out Fang Chang’s face.
It wasn’t a superpower. It was just that if I moved fast enough, the camera’s resolution couldn’t keep up with me.
Once she was out of school, Fang Chang was in a pretty miserable spot. She had nowhere to go.
No money, no phone, not even an ID…
Wait!
Even if she did have an ID, it wouldn’t be any use!
And just then, she felt hunger gnawing at her stomach.
Back in Li Zirong’s lab, she hadn’t eaten or drunk anything, but the high-energy culture medium had been enough to keep her fighting at full strength.
Now that she’d just given birth (not really), she needed to replenish her strength. Her digestion was incredible, and her craving for food was stronger than ever.
“I should’ve brought my wallet.”
Clutching her little stomach, Fang Chang wandered aimlessly down the street.
She trudged along in utter misery.
The smell drifting out of the restaurants along the street made Fang Chang feel even worse.
“I’m so hungry!”
Right then, a phone rang.
It was her phone!
Fang Chang was stunned. She hurriedly searched herself, but couldn’t find it anywhere. Then she had a thought and opened the system panel—and made a major discovery!
(Restore factory settings)
It was a pretty suspicious button.
Fang Chang tapped it.
The next moment, the phone appeared in her hand.
“Wahahaha! I really am a genius!”
Fang Chang bounced up and down with joy, drawing stares from people nearby. She didn’t care and dashed straight into the bakery next door, ordering more than ten little cakes in one go.
With her hands full of food, she was completely satisfied.
She tore open the packaging and wolfed down cake while paying with her phone. Once she was done, she checked the time and then opened her call log. Sure enough, there was a missed call.
It was one of her roommates.
Feeling satisfied and completely carefree, she called back.
The voice on the other end sounded anxious.
“Fang Chang! There’s been a thief in our room! Our stuff seems fine, but come back and check if anything of yours is missing!”
“A thief?”
Fang Chang felt a wave of dread. Just when things couldn’t get worse! There was no way she could go back to the dorm looking like this. If a thief really had stolen something, she couldn’t even check!
But suddenly, the person on the other end went silent.
Fang Chang pressed urgently, “What’s wrong? Say something!”
“You’ve got some nerve, little girl. You stole a phone and still dared to call back! I’m telling you, return it right now, or I’ll call the police. The security cameras caught your face, so it’ll be easy to find you!”
Fang Chang sat bolt upright as if jolted awake from her deathbed, then hurriedly hung up.
She had a little girl’s voice now!
So that made her the thief, huh?
