23: Game Cabin

“Hello, how may I help you?” On the third floor of Yida Plaza, a girl in a black uniform showed a practiced smile.

“I’d like to buy a game pod,” Lin Yue said.

“The ‘ascension’ game pods come in three price ranges: 888,888, 1,888,888, and 8,888,888. Which one would you like to purchase?”

Since the ‘ascension’ game was popular everywhere, the girl didn't need to ask; she already knew what Lin Yue wanted to buy.

“What’s the difference?” Lin Yue asked.

Goodness, the most expensive one was over eight million!

“The 880,000 basic version game pod has automatic feeding, automatic massage, and automatic wake-up functions.”

“The 1,880,000 upgraded version adds eighteen color schemes on top of the basic version.”

“The 8,880,000 game pod is the ultimate version, with all the features of the first two, plus eighty-eight massage techniques, and a starlight ceiling, giving you an emperor-like experience!” the beautiful saleswoman enthusiastically introduced.

“Does the basic version come with any gifts?” Lin Yue pondered for a moment before asking. Currently, the basic version seemed to meet his needs.

The upgraded version’s color schemes and the ultimate version’s massage techniques were of no help to him.

“Yes, sir. Currently, our store can give you a box of nutrient solution, totaling 12 large bottles.”

“Then I’ll take the basic version.”

Lin Yue nodded. The game pod was a necessity, and 12 bottles of nutrient solution were worth some money right now, so he decided to buy it.

“Okay, that will be 1,080,000 dragon coins in total. Sir, will you be paying in full or taking out a loan?” The young lady offered a professional smile.

“Isn’t the nationwide retail price 880,000?” Lin Yue was a bit suspicious, wondering if he was being scammed.

“It’s like this, sir. The retail price is 888,888, plus a 180,000 emergency transfer fee and a 20,000 on-site installation fee.”

The young lady, harmless in appearance, continued:

“Sales are booming right now, so without the transfer fee, it might take half a year to get stock.

Also, if there are any bumps or damages during self-installation, our store will not be responsible,” the saleswoman smiled.

This was truly outrageous, getting more and more absurd!

But every word addressed Lin Yue’s concerns. After all, it wasn’t cheap, but it felt like such a rip-off.

“Payment!” Lin Yue slapped his card on the table.

“Alright, sir, please sign here.” After Lin Yue quickly signed, he also left his home address.

“Okay, sir, delivery is expected within 1 hour. Please wait patiently at home.”

Lin Yue nodded and walked out of the store, then suddenly sped up on the way.

He rushed to the restroom, and after a series of sounds, he let out a comfortable groan.

“Damn this ‘spray warrior’.”

As Lin Yue walked out of the restroom, he bumped into a foreign friend, only to see that person walk towards the adjacent one.

Did I go into the wrong restroom?

Lin Yue quickly took a few steps, then looked back. Seeing a symbol that resembled a male sign, he wasn't sure if it was or wasn't.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just use words? Why create such a bizarre design?” Lin Yue cursed the designer a thousand times in his heart.

“Ah! Pervert!” A sharp sound rang out nearby.

“No, I’m not!”

Lin Yue blurted it out subconsciously, but found no one nearby.

Suddenly, the foreign friend from earlier rushed out! Behind him was the figure of a girl!

“Get out of the way!” the person shouted in slightly awkward Daxia language.

“Okay.” Lin Yue nodded and moved to the side.

“Thud!”

The foreign friend fell to the ground with a thud, glaring fiercely at the man who had his hands in his pockets, pretending to casually retract his foot.

“Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Lin Yue showed a harmless smile.

“Catch him!” The girl chased out, picked up her bag, and hit the man with it, occasionally kicking the inside of his thigh!

“Ah!” The man cried out in pain.

Lin Yue was a bit stunned, silently swallowing his saliva. Seeing the man unable to fight back, he moved to the outside of the corridor, blocking the passage.

Soon, the security guards arrived and restrained the girl.

Otherwise, if she kept hitting him, the man would lose his life!

When it came to watching drama, Daxia citizens were professionals.

In an instant, the passage was crowded with men, women, and children, and someone had already called the police.

“He’s a pervert! He was peeping!” the girl shouted, pointing at the man curled up on the ground.

“No, I’m not!” the man said painfully.

Hmm, where have I heard that before? Lin Yue wondered silently.

“You went into the women’s restroom, and you still say you’re not!”

“I just went into the restroom, hadn’t even taken off my pants, when I saw a big white tooth under the door! And you still say you’re not!” the girl said angrily, kicking him again.

“Stop hitting him. Wait for the Officer to arrive,” the security guard advised, silently crossing his legs upon hearing the man’s painful cries.

“I want to call the police! You assaulted me!” As soon as the man heard the Officer was coming, he struggled to his feet and roared!

“You want to call the police? I’ll beat you to death, you perverted freak!”

The surrounding people also discussed, never having seen such a shameless person.

“And you!” the man said, pointing at Lin Yue.

If it weren't for him tripping him, why would he be so miserable?

“Me?” Lin Yue couldn’t believe it. How could there be such a shameless person?

“You went into the women’s restroom to peep. If you’re not a pervert, who is?” Lin Yue retorted.

“Although I am biologically male, I identify as female in my heart. What’s wrong with me entering the women’s restroom?”

“Furthermore, I am also part of the LGBTQ community, suffer from ADHD, am a highly sensitive person, and am currently consulting a psychologist. Your actions make me very uncomfortable!”

“Transvestite?” The security guard looked confused. He didn’t understand some of the foreign words, only that the man said he was female, so he instinctively stepped back.

“You all! Just wait until your reputations are ruined!” The foreign man roared at everyone.

In his home country, as long as he said these words, no one would dare to do anything to him.

Moreover, his father said that when he studied abroad, Daxia people were incredibly warm and hospitable, and the school arranged many female companions for him. Even if something happened, the school would handle it for him, a treatment Daxia people didn’t even receive!

He could already imagine receiving a generous compensation, while also sending them to jail!

“Unless, you talk to me properly, I might forgive you and not pursue the matter,” the man smirked, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

He had accidentally discovered this beautiful Asian girl, and failing to pick her up, he followed her inside.

Now that he had said these words, she must be very scared, and to get his forgiveness, she would surely obey him.

He loved this kind of contrast!

The girl tugged at Lin Yue’s sleeve, somewhat unsure if what he said was true. Could she really go to jail?

Lin Yue patted the girl’s hand, then walked towards the man.

“What, scared?”

“Actually, you’re not impossible either,” the man laughed.

Such a handsome man, with a well-proportioned physique, was no less attractive than the girl in his eyes.

He wouldn’t mind if they came together.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh. He hadn’t expected such a big harvest today!

“You said you have gender dysphoria?” Lin Yue said, suppressing his nausea.

“Yes, and I’m also…”

Lin Yue chuckled. In the United States or various Europa countries, this was indeed a big issue; he could even be invincible.

But in Dragon Country, this issue was not an issue at all.

“Stop!”

“I’m sorry, but what you’re talking about, the national server hasn’t updated to this version yet.”

“What, what version?” The foreign friend looked at the calm Lin Yue, a little flustered.

“You’ll know if you wait,” Lin Yue smiled without speaking.

Soon, the Officer arrived. After hearing the public describe the case, he directly took the man away.

The man didn’t understand why these words, which had always been effective, were useless today.

He felt a little scared, so he started shouting. An Officer, seeing no one around, secretly punched him. The man gasped in cold air, then heard the Officer say to him:

“Shut up. Do you still think this is 40 years ago?”

“Thank you! Oh, by the way, what’s your name?” The girl asked Lin Yue, turning back before going to the yamen with the Officer for investigation.

Lin Yue had been observing the man just now. Hearing the question, he finally looked closely at the slightly sweaty girl and couldn't help but exclaim.

Such white… black short sleeves, such long… shorts!

“My name is Yao Siyu. Let’s add each other on WeChat,” the girl said, blinking her big eyes expectantly.

“Ah, it’s nothing, just a small favor.”

Lin Yue waved his hand and walked away, doing good deeds without leaving his name, especially for a man like that.

“Hmph, serves you right for being single!” Watching Lin Yue gradually walk away, Yao Siyu stomped her foot, seething with anger.
