Chapter 21: The Crossdresser

Mo Yubai stood up, walked to Zhu Ou’s door, and knocked gently. When the door opened, Zhu Ou looked at her with excitement, resembling a happy, high-energy puppy that was also a bit silly.

Mo Yubai walked over to the table and explained her purpose to Zhu Ou:

“Take out your Workbench. I need to use it. There are too many blueprints, and processing them on just one Workbench is too slow.”

Zhu Ou obediently took out the Workbench and asked curiously, “Sister Mo, what blueprints are they?”

Mo Yubai placed the blueprints on the Workbench and explained what she had just done.

Zhu Ou instantly felt as if she had struck gold. She dragged Mo Yubai along and pushed open Wen Ruyan’s door, only to find that Wen Ruyan actually had a Workbench too!

With three Workbenches running simultaneously, their efficiency skyrocketed. They decided to post messages in the chat channel to collect containers and container blueprints, planning to split the profits equally once they were finished.

“Buying all kinds of containers and container blueprints. Three empty containers can be exchanged for one container of purified water.”

“Huh? But I already traded all my containers to Boss Mo today for non-potable water.”

“It’s fine, sister. This is three containers for one container of water. It’s pretty much the same.”

“Damn, who is more miserable than me? I just gave all six container blueprints I got from chests to Zhao Facai, and my queue is scheduled for three days from now!”

“Wait, why do you guys trust that Zhao Facai so much?”

“Are you jealous, upstairs^[1]? Boss Facai is a Black Gold VIP of the Service Area, someone who lives in the Presidential Suite. Would he bother scamming you little toads?”

“Plus one. What are we anyway? Boss Facai definitely wouldn’t care about my tiny bit of resources!”

“Hearing you say that makes me feel relieved.”

“I’m so pissed! I want purified water now, but I just mortgaged my containers to Boss Facai!”

“Hahaha, a bunch of fools. I’m going to exchange my water now~”

Zhu Ou looked at the messages in the chat channel, her eyes scanning up and down a few times. She spoke up in confusion:

“Sister Mo, someone else actually checked into the Presidential Suite just like you!”

Hearing this, Mo Yubai sat up straight, put down the Bird-head Staff in her hand, and asked curiously:

“Oh? Who is it? How do you know?”

“He seems to be called Zhao Facai. I saw it in the chat channel, everyone is talking about it.

“But we are on the top floor of the Presidential Suite, and I don’t know what floor he is on. When I came up, I was still scared out of my wits, so I really didn’t notice anyone else.”

Mo Yubai blinked, opened the chat channel, and scrolled through the previous messages.

The chat channel was always lively no matter the time. Mo Yubai scrolled for a long time but couldn’t find the beginning of the matter, and she was lazily about to give up.

Just then, Wen Ruyan’s voice came. “Teacher Mo, I feel like something is a bit off. May I ask how you checked into the Presidential Suite?”

Mo Yubai seemed to realize something and said calmly, “It’s fine, it’s not rude. There’s nothing to hide.

“I am a Black Gold VIP of the Mechanical Race. The Presidential Suite is a benefit the Mechanical Race gives to their VIPs.”

Hearing this, Zhu Ou didn’t care about replying to the players on her friend list. She suddenly raised her head and exchanged looks with Wen Ruyan.

Mo Yubai looked at their strange expressions and raised her eyebrows. Did something interesting happen?

Before she could speak, Zhu Ou suddenly turned her head to her. “Sister Mo, did you expose your Black Gold VIP status at the entrance of the Service Area just now?”

Mo Yubai looked at her exaggerated expression, completely confused. “Yes, the welcome announcement at the Service Area was quite loud, but it did help me intimidate a pack of wolves, saving me from having to fight with my injuries.”

Wen Ruyan was concise and got straight to the point. “Teacher Mo, did you arrive at the Service Area around three fifteen?”

Mo Yubai nodded obediently. “At that time, I glanced at the large clock at the entrance of the Service Area. I entered at three zero seven.”

Wen Ruyan and Zhu Ou exchanged a look, and Zhu Ou said, “Sister Mo, it seems someone claimed your identity, and you’ve somehow become a crossdresser?”

Even though Mo Yubai had already made some guesses, she couldn’t help but cough upon hearing this shocking news.

Looking down at her flat chest, which she had always been very satisfied with, she was completely speechless!

“Cough, cough, cough! No, even if my chest is indeed small, it’s not to the point where they call me a crossdresser, right?”

Wen Ruyan hurriedly stepped forward to pat her back, and Zhu Ou comforted her, “It’s okay, I’ll clear things up for Sister Mo right away!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she controlled her game panel and snapped photo after photo of the Presidential Suite!

After taking the photos, she decisively sent them to the chat channel and posted an angry message.

“Zhao Facai is a liar! The real Black Gold VIP is Mo Yubai!”

“These are photos of the Presidential Suite. We are currently in the Presidential Suite, which is why we can do the purified water business! Zhao Facai, do you dare to post pictures!”

“No way, I gave almost all my net worth to Zhao Facai?”

“Zhao Facai, come out and say something!”

“When they first started discussing it, I thought it was Boss Mo. After all, Boss Mo levels up so fast, while Zhao Facai has never been announced by the system even once.”

“I also felt it was Boss Mo. After all, a Black Gold VIP must be very rich, and the first one to reach level three in our area was Boss Mo.”

“Plus one. Every time Boss Mo speaks, she has that golden legendary skin^[2]. It looks like VIP treatment at a glance! Isn’t this something anyone with a brain could guess?”

“Blue Star advertised anti-fraud to you every day! Anti-fraud! It really didn’t go into your brain at all!”

“Boss Mo is too amazing! Black Gold VIP! Presidential Suite! Ahhh, I’m so envious I can’t sleep!”

“I’m different. I have material for my dreams tonight!”

“Damn Zhao Facai! I’m going to go beat him up right now!”

“Beat him up! Who has a Tracking Gold Coin? I’ll trade my bicycle vehicle for a Tracking Gold Coin! Even if I die today, I won’t let him off!”

“Brother, I’ll sponsor you one, no trade needed! Just treat it as venting my anger for me!”

“Holy crap! That bastard Zhao Facai entered a dungeon! The Tracking Gold Coin can’t be used!”

“There are dungeons in this Survival Game? Then his luck is really good!”

“So, he must have planned this all along.”

“Speaking of which, are that Mo Yubai and this Zhu Ou who claimed to clarify things really clean? Why did they only speak up after we were scammed? Maybe they’re in cahoots with that Zhao Facai!”

“Exactly! If it weren’t for that Mo Yubai being some Black Gold VIP, there wouldn’t be so much trouble!”

“What a troublemaker. Whoever marries this kind of woman is in for bad luck!”

“Brothers, how much horse piss^[3] did you drink? To be this drunk?”

“I’m really speechless. Those who knew we were being scammed earlier, why didn’t you warn us!”

“Hehe~ Guess why?”

“Hahaha! Of course it’s because since I’m going to die, you guys shouldn’t think of living well either!”

“Seeing you guys so miserable makes me feel much better.”

“Speaking of which, where are those shills who were hyping things up with Zhao Facai at the beginning?”

“Indeed, we can’t kill Zhao Facai now, but can’t we deal with them?”

“Wait, brothers, I’m a victim too! How did I know he was a liar?”

“I just took a bottle of water from him to say a few words for him. Who knew he would scam people?”

“Yeah, we are innocent!”

“I don’t care if you’re innocent or not. I’ve been scammed of so many resources now. Since I can’t find Zhao Facai, I’ll just have to make you guys pay!”

“Selling Tracking Gold Coin, PM if interested!”

…

The three in the room looked at this farce, speechless. Mo Yubai sighed and lamented:

“Sure enough, scammers use clumsy scamming methods because they never intended to scam smart people in the first place.”
