The Underground Street was full of women—many dressed scantily, heavily made up, and quite a few even bore tattoos.
Since many of them worked in special professions, large tattoos were naturally common.
But none were as round and as white as those—those belonged only to young beauties brimming with youthful vitality.
Bai Xia had originally thought she wouldn’t care about those two White Rabbits, but when their buttons popped off and their heads peeked out from the collar, she was stunned for a second.
It was because of that one second that the flying button struck her forehead.
Pop!
[Ding dong~ First Movement Mission completion count +1. Please settle in a private environment.]
The words flashed through Bai Xiaoya’s mind, and her heart swelled with unexpected joy.
It passed!
The mission passed!
She never imagined that no words could move the cold and distant Miss Godfather, yet because she was caught off guard at the dining table and had a button fly off and hit her brow, the mission was complete.
At that moment, Bai Xiaoya forgot that the button had accidentally popped off by herself, as if it were a deliberately thrown hidden weapon.
This was the inspiration born from confidence!
Of course, she didn’t forget what to do next—
“Sorry, sis, I didn’t hurt you, right? I didn’t expect the clothes to be so tight that the button would bounce and hit you.”
Madam Bai was just coming back to her senses from the shock.
Since she herself could never do such a thing, she didn’t expect her daughter to be so… outstanding.
“Xia, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“That’s good. Xiaoya, you too—if the clothes don’t fit, just change them. Look at you…”
“Yes, yes, I will, I will,” Bai Xiaoya took the chance to stand up and leave.
“I’m going to change now.”
With that, she turned and slipped away before Mr. and Madam Bai could react.
As for Bai Xia, aside from saying “I’m fine,” she sat there blankly, staring into the empty air as if something was there.
Madam Bai thought she had been upset and comforted her, “Xiaoya truly has some extraordinary talent, but don’t be discouraged, Xia. Ask the Kitchen to give you a copy of Xiaoya’s usual recipes as a reference—it’s not too late to start now…”
Even if there was a gap in talent, she could still make progress!
Bai Xia slowly moved her gaze away.
“No need. I don’t eat much, and I’m not chasing that.”
Setting down her bowl and chopsticks, she wiped her mouth with a tissue, then also stood up and left.
“I’m done eating. Dad, Mom, you two enjoy the meal.”
With that, she headed upstairs to her room.
Suddenly, only Mr. and Madam Bai remained at the dining table.
The two parents exchanged glances, their emotions complex, feeling both touched and overwhelmed.
“Xiaoya really has grown up.”
“Hopefully, she won’t put too much pressure on Xia.”
“But it’s a good thing. Xia wasn’t angry at all when she was hit just now, which shows the two have a good relationship.”
“Yeah.”
Unaware that her attitude had caused her parents to misunderstand, Bai Xia pulled out her phone on the way upstairs and sent a message to Li Butler:
[Mr. Li, is there a camera at home? Please help me find one. I need it.]
***
Bai Xiaoya flopped onto the bed excitedly, closed her eyes, and whispered: Time to settle!
[Ding dong, you successfully bullied the female lead Bai Xia, causing her to have an emotional reaction. Mission completion count +1. Settling results. Result: Bai Xia experienced moderate surprise and slight embarrassment from your bullying attack.]
[Evaluation: Although the completion was low this time, facing such a formidable opponent, you used your own unique attack method to expose her weakness, which is more important than the mission itself. The future is promising. Lucky Roulette starts spinning…]
Bai Xiaoya’s eyes were glued to the dazzling golden roulette spinning wildly in the void, finally stopping abruptly on a segment.
[Ding dong, congratulations! You have won a reward from the Primary Prize Pool: Girls Are All Fragrant! Enhances your body’s scent, maintaining it at the most comfortable level, making people feel pleasant or uplifted.]
Really?
A scent?
Bai Xiaoya lifted her hand and sniffed—hmm, a mix of milk and strawberry, fresh and fragrant!
But it seemed like it wasn’t very useful?
[System notice: After the Primary Prize Pool is emptied, even if the next mission has a low completion rate, rewards will roll over to the Intermediate Prize Pool. So, please strive to complete as many missions as possible!]
Got it.
That means there’s a safety net.
Grinding can change fate.
Bai Xiaoya felt she had completely understood everything.
While the busty girl rolled excitedly on her bed, next door in Bai Xia’s room, the atmosphere was a bit more serious.
Li Butler delivered the family’s camera—a pricey Leica.
“Thanks, Mr. Li. I know how to use it.”
After seeing Li Butler off, Bai Xia closed the door and locked it, then took the camera to the center of the room and began taking pictures casually.
Click, click, click, click.
After a while, she took the developed photos and studied them carefully.
The room wasn’t very scenic—minimalism at its finest, clean to the point of simplicity.
Most importantly, there were no strange words appearing on the photos.
Bai Xia put the photos and Leica on the table and sat on the edge of the bed, taking a deep breath as she stared at them.
Since nothing showed up in the photos, she ruled out the possibility that external light sources were tricking her retina.
Most likely, this wasn’t a prank.
She closed her wine-red eyes, and a line of text appeared in her mind—
[You have suffered the most terrifying weapon assault of your life: a button popped off by the White Rabbit, striking your brow! The culprit is the busty impostor in your home. You don’t know if it was intentional, but before she suddenly attacked, she glared fiercely at you and was inexplicably puffing out her chest.]
[Now it seems she was pre-aiming and lining up the shot. Can you tolerate that? Mission objective: Outdo her mercilessly! Completing the mission will grant random rewards; the higher the completion and evaluation, the greater the chance to draw from the rare prize pool. Additionally, each type of reward, once drawn, will be temporarily removed from the pool until the next cycle]
This was what had suddenly appeared before her eyes after the button struck her earlier.
After confirming it wasn’t a prank through the camera, she realized it was something mysterious.
It felt etched deep in her mind; as long as she concentrated, these words would appear.
The prize pool description was detailed enough.
Though Bai Xia didn’t have the extensive game experience Bai Xiaoya did, she roughly understood that as long as she completed many missions, she’d have chances to win the rewards she wanted.
As for that strange phrase…
The girl focused on those two words.
Seconds later, a very intense scene of two girls appeared before her eyes.
“Stop, stop!”
Bai Xia hurriedly said, “I already know!”
