Wei Yang told Yu Tu everything that had happened at the Starry Palace. Unfortunately, Yu Tu was also unsure if other players existed.
“Baby, your guess is likely correct. Those skills Chao Yan used shouldn’t exist within the game. Just like my save and load functions, they should be things only a player can control.”
Wei Yang squeezed the Tuotu, the spiritual creature she had summoned, feeling quite frustrated.
“How annoying. I clearly defeated her, but then she just entered phase two. Yu Tu, can’t you give me some kind of one-shot kill skill?”
“I can’t do that, meow,” Yu Tu said, shaking her head. “I can’t change the game’s framework. Chao Yan’s status in the game is the protagonist; only she can use those skills. Baby, your role is specifically for adult content. If you want to change your clothes, I can help with that. I have as many outfits as you could want.”
“First of all, I am absolutely not doing any adult content. Secondly, how many outfits do I even have?”
Yu Tu looked up, her fingers sliding through the air as if she were scrolling through something invisible to Wei Yang, murmuring under her breath.
“Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one… looks like that’s it.”
Wei Yang’s mouth twitched. She actually had twenty-one outfits to change into. No wonder she had the highest number of CGs.
“Twenty-one outfits… this isn’t a dress-up game. Is that really necessary?”
“You’re wrong, baby. It’s not twenty-one outfits. It’s twenty-one pages.”
Wei Yang and the rabbit in her arms both froze. They stared blankly at Yu Tu, utterly shocked.
“Twenty-one pages!?”
“Correct. There are twenty-one items per page, for a total of 441 outfits. The mood feels right, so let’s change you into one.”
Wei Yang heard a vibration near her ear. She flipped the rabbit in her arms over, gripping it in her hands so she could see her new clothes through its eyes.
“Wow, the cut of this is actually pretty good.”
Yu Tu hadn’t expected Wei Yang to react like this. She thought the girl would be more resistant.
“Is the cut really the important part?”
Wei Yang extended her arms, maneuvering the Tuotu around to look at her new clothes from every angle.
It was a JK uniform with a vibrant yellow theme. The top was short, revealing her slender forearms and her soft, slightly midriff-baring belly. An orange ribbon was tied at her chest, accentuating her tempting curves.
Below, she wore a pure white pleated skirt and black over-the-knee socks that perfectly hid the scars from her stitches. An aura of youthful energy practically overflowed from Wei Yang’s body.
“You have good taste, Yu Tu. I like JK uniforms, and this indigo blue is really beautiful.”
Hearing this, Yu Tu’s pupils contracted, and she bit her lower lip.
This outfit was clearly yellow.
“…As long as you like it.”
To put it simply, Yu Tu’s loading function was like a time machine that transported them back to the moment of the save. Because of this, Wei Yang’s physical state didn’t revert when they loaded; she still had to rely on the eyes of her summoned creatures to see. And in a rabbit’s world, only blue and green existed.
Wei Yang couldn’t see the true colors of the uniform.
Seeing Yu Tu looking depressed again, Wei Yang realized she had slipped up. In truth, she still resisted wearing women’s clothing and wasn’t actually interested in the uniform. Saying she liked JK uniforms was entirely out of consideration for Yu Tu’s feelings. First, she didn’t want Yu Tu to worry about her injuries anymore, and second, she wanted to praise her to cheer her up. She hadn’t expected it to backfire.
“Seriously, don’t make such a gloomy face. Give me a smile. Your face is so cute. I’m really okay.”
But Yu Tu remained unmoved. Although she enjoyed seeing Wei Yang flustered, being flustered and being injured were two very different things.
Wei Yang now had a headache. She had originally been an otaku; how was she supposed to know how to comfort a girl? At most, she could suggest “drinking more hot water.”
What should she do in this situation?
A flash of inspiration struck her. How could she forget what she was best at? When in doubt, play dumb!
“Yu Tu, I didn’t know you were the type to use nipple covers.”
‘I’m such a pervert,’ Wei Yang cursed herself internally. But she had no choice if she wanted to change the subject. Previously, she had stripped Yu Tu’s clothes to give them to Ah Li, leaving her in only a thin undershirt. It was then that Wei Yang noticed she was wearing nipple covers over her breasts, meaning she was essentially bare underneath.
Yu Tu looked down at her body after hearing Wei Yang’s remark. She had only just noticed that her clothes had vanished. She was practically streaking.
“Baby, did you… see everything?”
“Pretty much…”
“Then when are we getting married?”
“Huh? No, that’s not what I meant!”
Yu Tu poked her own cheek, returning to her classic, arrogant “bratty” expression.
“Are you planning on looking at a girl’s body and then refusing to take responsibility? What a wicked fox.”
Wei Yang had been checkmated. She definitely couldn’t win a verbal spat against Yu Tu, so she could only continue to play dumb and push the conversation toward a topic she could handle.
“Anyway… are nipple covers comfortable to wear? I don’t really understand them.”
Yu Tu spread her hands.
‘That’s right. She was a boy before, so it’s normal not to understand.’
“It’s summer right now, so you definitely have to wear these for breathability. Otherwise, it would be stifling in a bra. You’d get so, so sweaty… Hey, what’s with that look?”
When Yu Tu mentioned getting sweaty, Wei Yang felt a sudden, inexplicable impulse.
‘The woman before me is someone who could have been my mother!’
However, Yu Tu’s cup size was a C, which was a bit too large. It would be better if it were an A.
“Nothing, it’s nothing. I just think the risk is a bit high. Like, if you’re walking, they might suddenly fall off and leave you exposed or something.”
“That is a possibility. It depends on how well they fit. Take me for example; my breasts are teardrop-shaped, and the southern hemisphere is fuller than the northern hemisphere. So, lifting covers are best. They can even enhance your cleavage. But they’re a bit difficult to put on. You have to knead them in bit by bit to bring them together—”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Wei Yang hurriedly interrupted her. “I’ve heard enough appreciation. Now let’s talk about serious business.”
Yu Tu, who had been speaking with great enthusiasm, looked a bit displeased. She puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish.
However, Wei Yang had achieved her goal. Yu Tu wasn’t sad anymore.
“Yu Tu, back to the point. What should I do now to defeat Chao Yan?”
“To be honest, you’ve already done great. You forced out her trump card. Now that we know there’s another player, we can formulate a plan accordingly. Before that, let me check the game encyclopedia. If I remember correctly, there’s a divine artifact that can help you recover your sight.”
Hearing this news, Wei Yang and the rabbit perched on her head both became extremely excited.
“Isn’t that great? What kind of artifact is it?”
“Let me see… found it. Divine Artifact: Medusa Sapphire. Equipment effect: Visual Restoration. It can repair even total blindness. Its special abilities are petrification and x-ray vision. It’s a very good game item, but—”
“But what? Is this artifact a reward for some incredibly difficult quest?”
Yu Tu looked troubled. She studied the information for a moment before replying to Wei Yang.
“No, the Medusa Sapphire is actually easy to get. It’s in the collection of that Ah Li you met before. The difficult part is another artifact: the ‘Veil of Non-Seeing.’ Once you recover your sight, you will lose your magic power. To continue using sorcery afterward, this artifact is a necessity for you.”
Hearing Ah Li’s name, Wei Yang’s fox ears twitched. She missed that big fox a little bit. She also needed to apologize properly. It was because of her that Ah Li had been knocked unconscious by Chao Yan.
But after the save was loaded, Ah Li probably wouldn’t remember her, right? This made Wei Yang feel a bit dejected.
“I see. The Veil of Non-Seeing can only be obtained by completing that specific quest. In that case,” Yu Tu looked at Wei Yang with a mischievous grin, “Baby, go become an angel!”
