Chapter 7: Special Event: Going to the Alley with the Thugs

“No need.”

Su Nian looked at the eight thug-like figures before her and immediately refused.

She would only agree to such a thing if she were foolish or playing some game where she could save her progress and check the storyline.

“Don’t be so harsh, Miss Maid. It’s not cute that way.”

As the leader of the thugs spoke, his underlings began to close in on Su Nian.

“Ding dong, special event triggered: follow the thugs to the dark alley.”

“If the host accepts the invitation and goes to the location mentioned by the thugs, 1000 humiliation points will be added. If not, this special event will be forfeited.”

A special event?

For a moment, Su Nian hesitated.

1000 humiliation points were no small amount-they could upgrade her [Basic Agility] and [Basic Strength] to intermediate levels.

With that, her battle against the horned demon would be foolproof.

These thugs in front of her seemed completely untrained, weaker than even herself before she got the system.

With her current strength, handling eight of them shouldn’t be a problem.

Su Nian nervously swallowed.

She knew she had reached a critical decision point.

In the past, as a guy, she wouldn’t have been afraid—just a few thugs.

Having been admitted to the Knight Academy, she could have taken them all down single-handedly.

But now.

With her current appearance and body, if she were to lose, or worse, be captured by these thugs, the humiliation that would follow was unimaginable.

Should she… accept?

Should she take the risk for 1000 humiliation points, or just pretend this special event never happened?

“System, can I check the combat power of these people?”

“Ding dong, would you like to spend 10 humiliation points to check the current eight individuals?”

“Check!”

[Thug Leader]: Combat Power E+ (equivalent to a novice swordsman)

[Thug A]: Combat Power F+ (a strong and skilled fighter among ordinary people)

[Thug B]: Combat Power F

[Thug C]: Combat Power F

As she expected, none of them were particularly strong.

Aside from the thug leader, who was slightly stronger than her pre-system self, the rest were complete cannon fodder, fighting purely on instinct.

She checked her own attributes.

[Attributes]:

Name: Su Nian

Gender: Female

Height: 168 cm

Combat Power: C (equivalent to an advanced swordsman)

Charm: 100 (peak human level)

[Skills]

Basic Swordsmanship

Basic Agility

Basic Strength

[Current Missions]

– Defeat a specific horned demon. Reward: S-grade selectable talent.

– Live in Flash Town wearing a maid outfit for 3 days. Reward: B-grade martial skill.

Current Status: Healthy, Free, Virgin

After clearing her humiliation points to enhance her strength, her combat power rating had reached C-level.

Dealing with a bunch of E and F-level cannon fodder, she was confident.

After losing to that horned demon, she had become overly cautious, even starting to avoid battles.

This was not the mindset of a true warrior!

Su Nian looked at the approaching thugs, took two steps back, and then spoke.

“Don’t come any closer, and don’t touch me.”

“But if you know of any cheap inns, I can let you lead the way.” Su Nian steeled herself and decided to proceed with this special event.

After all, according to the event description, as long as she reached the location mentioned by the thugs, she would gain 1000 humiliation points.

And then…

She sent all those thugs flying with a single blow!

“A cheap inn? We happen to know one, and we’re also known as the good guys of Flash Town. Come with us,” the thug leader said with a straight face, spouting nonsense.

The other thugs couldn’t help but let out weird laughs.

Of course, they knew their leader’s intentions.

A moment later.

Su Nian followed the group, occasionally having to dodge their sudden advances.

Her vigorous movements caused the bell hanging around her neck to jingle, eliciting another round of strange laughter from the thugs.

“Miss Maid, do you have a master?”

Along the way, the thug leader began asking questions deliberately.

Although the young lady in the maid outfit was undeniably alluring more so than any noble lady-he still wanted to clarify her background.

If a maid had a noble or a powerful mage as her master, they might have to back off early.

A master?

Su Nian heard the word and, thinking of the maid outfit she was wearing, her face instantly turned red.

How could she possibly have something like that!

“I don’t have a master! And I’m not a maid either,” Su Nian declared firmly.

Although she had once wished for a perfect, beautiful maid of her own, she would never become the kind of maid who served a master.

“So, Miss Maid, do you just like wearing maid outfits?”

“Miss Maid, the bell around your neck is quite interesting. Did you put it on yourself?”

“Do you enjoy dressing up like a pet?”

“Or are you secretly hoping for a master of your own?”

For a moment, the thugs bombarded her with questions, turning Su Nian’s face bright red while also fueling her urge to send them flying right then and there.

“Ding dong, detected that the host feels humiliated by the remarks. Humiliation points +214.”

Being talked to like this by these people, she actually gained humiliation points, which could help her improve her strength.

“Hmm~”

Even though she felt humiliated, she was receiving rewards she could never have imagined before…

This feeling was definitely not good.

She just hoped to reach the destination quickly, then beat them all to a pulp, which would also help the townsfolk.

Along the way.

The residents of Flash Town also noticed a stunning maid walking with a group of thugs.

For a moment.

Su Nian felt the residents’ disdainful and speculative gazes.

“Ding dong, detected that the host feels humiliated by the residents’ gazes. Humiliation points +129.”

Ugh… let this end quickly.

A moment later.

In front of a deep, dark alley, the thugs stopped.

“This is it. The cheap inn I mentioned is deep in this alley.”

In reality, there was no inn in the depths of the alley.

The thug leader and his gang were all smiling, clearly feeling that their goal for the trip had been achieved.

Tonight would be a perfect, enjoyable time.

At the same time.

Su Nian also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was finally over.

She couldn’t wait to enter the dark alley and beat up these disgusting thugs.

The next moment.

Su Nian took the lead and stepped into the dark alley the thugs had mentioned.

The alley, with only one exit, was instantly blocked by the thugs.

As Su Nian entered the dark alley, just as she was about to take down all the thugs in an instant, the system’s voice echoed in her ears.

“Ding dong, the host has successfully arrived at the target location, earning 1000 humiliation points.”

“Ding dong, a follow-up mission has been triggered.”

“If the host chooses to actively lose the fight against the thugs and allows them to do as they please tonight, she will receive 10,000 humiliation points and acquire a lactation constitution.”
