Chapter 184: Gently Used Girl's 'Thermos' Cup, 99% New! For Sale!
What’s our good buddy Brother Yang up to these days?
Yang Chenjun was working at a factory back in his hometown, tightening screws. During a break, he checked his phone and... wow, of course... People only remember their good brothers when they need "those kinds of things," right?
“Xiao Bai!!😏” Yang Chenjun sent back a mischievous emoji and complained with a bit of mock sadness. “You only ever think of your good buddy when it’s about this kind of stuff, don’t you?”
“Cut the nonsense,” Lin Yibai replied with a very urgent emoji and said, “It’s urgent, okay?”
Yang Chenjun said he understood it was urgent, but told him to chill. He’d finish screwing in the bolt first. After all, shooting a “pistol” is a sacred activity.
It’s all about your preference. Your interests, hobbies, and physical-emotional satisfaction.
So here comes the real question. Even though they’ve been roommates and buddies for three years, Yang Chenjun still didn’t know what Lin Yibai’s XP was.
Was it... girls with special traits? Tall ones? Short ones? Chubby or slim? Or maybe... his XP is 2D anime girls?
Yang Chenjun asked, “You want something normal? Or a bit weird? Or totally extreme?”
Lin Yibai: “???”
Whoa, seriously?
How did Yang Chenjun know all this stuff?! He always acted decent and serious in the dorm, but secretly he was watching… stuff this wild?
Feeling more curious now, Lin Yibai asked, “I know what normal is. But what do you mean by ‘weird’? And what’s ‘extreme’... Actually, never mind, just tell me what the extreme kind looks like!”
Yang Chenjun thought for a while and finally said, “Extreme is like... the giant is actually the girl. You get me?”
Lin Yibai: “Got it.”
Yang Chenjun: “And the giant girl is way bigger than the guy.”
Lin Yibai: “And then?”
Yang Chenjun: “They... did it.”
Lin Yibai: “……”
WTF. Is that extreme? More like just bizarre.
Lin Yibai always thought of herself as a normal person. She prefers more standard romance stories, sweet love, then dramatic battles, then happy endings and falling in love.
And to be honest, when reading that kind of story…
Her heart was pounding.
Yes, her heart! She’s human, not a saint. So that natural kind of desire?
She definitely doesn’t have any less than others. Even after turning into a girl, that part of her hasn't changed.
No way she’d become cold and uninterested in this stuff just because her body changed, right?
Life is long. She wants to experience all the fantasies that boys have about girls, all in one go.
She even sent a message to Xia Changyu.
“I want to be alone these next few days to calm down (and release some stress). I hope you’ll respect my feelings and decisions. Please don’t come looking for me or bother me during this time, okay?”
Even though Xia Changyu didn’t quite understand, he replied seriously.
“If that’s what you want, I’ll respect your decision.”
Lin Yibai: “Thank you.”
Xia Changyu: “Alright then.”
Lin Yibai: “Mhm.”
The truth is, most of her body now already looks like a real girl’s, which made her experiences feel more and more real.
There was no women who excites her. No problem! I can focus on myself.
She touched the corner of her lips with her fingers. “Is this... what it feels like when touching a girl’s lips?”
She felt the touch on her lips. “And this... Is this what it feels like for a girl when a guy touches her lips?”
She had parts of her body that belonged to a girl.
She had parts of her body that belonged to a boy.
She felt and she felt again. She felt it from both sides.
She experienced both perspectives.
Now, Lin Yibai wasn’t sure what kind of mental state she was in anymore.
Was she... doing something to herself?
Or was she the one being touched by herself?
Or...
Does this count as cheating?
Like that kind of betrayal that people always hate in stories, NTR?
If she really had fallen for that annoying love rival, did that mean she had cheated on herself? Had she made herself a cuckold?
Lin Yibai didn’t know. And honestly, she didn’t want to think about it anymore.
All she knew was this, her belief had always been simple. Either be a real man, or a real woman. That’s it.
Now, she had just finished fulfilling her last remaining wishes before fully becoming a girl. And from now on… maybe she wouldn’t feel so torn inside anymore.
One day, two days…
Lin Yibai didn’t know how many times it had been.
She only knew that guys, when it came to that kind of thing, really did look like they were on the path to heaven, slowly becoming a Saint.
“I…”
Lin Yibai’s face was pale, and under the dim light, she looked like a ghost, one without a drop of blood in her face. She wanted to boil some water to drink.
But as soon as she stepped onto the floor, her legs gave out and she collapsed.
All those wishes, all that obsession, gone. Right now, she felt even more holy than a Saint.
Women? What women?
What final wishes? What nonsense…
All worldly desires and attachments had vanished entirely. She was now a presence surpassing even Saint in holiness and wisdom.
But because of how extreme she’d been these past few days, her transformation percentage had suddenly shot up to 35%!
【System: Host’s body is extremely weak.】
【Transformation level has reached 35%. You have now unlocked the next stage.】
【Please confirm.】
There weren’t even any choices anymore.
Because on the outside, her hair, head, voice, face, chest, and figure, had all already changed. Only one part remained.
She suddenly remembered a strange question. Lying on the cold tile floor, her messy hair spread out, eyes blank as she stared at the ceiling, she whispered,
“Was the... stick first, or the eggs first?”
But of course, that question didn’t matter.
The system had its own plan. Or maybe it had already calculated everything.
Whatever came first or last, if anything was missing, she’d be a eunuch, right?
So when Lin Yibai hit “Confirm,” the system said,
【Congratulations, transformation step complete. From now on, until you reach 50%, for every 1% gained, your remaining male parts will shrink.】
That’s right! Shrink!
From 35% to 50%, each 1% means that part of her will get smaller.
For example, just an example! Let’s say her “male part” used to be 15 cm long. By the time she hits 50%, it’ll become exactly 0.
And what if she goes past 50%? Would it go into negative numbers?
“Hissss—”
Lin Yibai gasped.
And even at 50%, she figured the system would still leave something that wasn’t quite the same as a normal girl.
But hey, it’s a system, right?
Maybe it would give her something even better than a normal girl?
“Ah—! No, no more weird thoughts!”
She weakly got up from the floor. She had no more obsessions or wild desires left.
In fact, when she glanced at the cup one last time, she felt nothing. It was like tasteless food. Not enjoyable, but hard to throw away.
After all, it cost her a few hundred bucks!
Still, she had no plans to ever use that thing again.
So, after thinking it over, she made a very shameful but practical decision, and listed it for sale on the second-hand marketplace.
"Thermos Cup, gently used by a girl, 99% new!"
Used by a girl? Whatever.
Now that she had let go of her desires, even her attitude had started to change.
She had released that final obsession.
And maybe becoming a girl wouldn't be so bad after all.
