When they left the movie theater, it was just past nine o'clock. But Lin Jin, who had had enough fun, did not plan to go anywhere else. She just casually strolled around the Wanda Plaza, bought two chocolate McFlurries at the McDonald's ice cream counter, and then, with the mindset of sightseeing even if they had no money, the group of three pretended to be genuine customers interested in buying things in various shops, looking at clothes and commenting on them one by one.

Lin Jin was not thick-skinned enough to try on suitable clothes suggested by the sales associates like Wen Xuan did, even though he had no money to buy them. She just stood to the side and looked around, not doing anything too excessive. However, Wu Min, inspired by Wen Xuan, followed his lead. Although he couldn't afford the designer clothes in Wanda Plaza, he tried on some coats with the attitude of a wealthy man wanting to buy.

Lin Jin felt terribly embarrassed by these two. The corner of her mouth twitched with embarrassment, but she couldn't just leave them. She stood there, constantly spooning the McFlurry ice cream into his mouth.

"Hey, Wu Min"

Lin Jin noticed Wu Min taking off the coat he was trying on. He ignored the sales associate who kept telling him how handsome he looked in the coat and turned to look at Lin Jin, who was calling him.

"Come here for a second." Lin Jin's face was a bit red, feeling embarrassed about what his two roommates were doing. Fortunately, it seemed the sales associate hadn't noticed yet.

"What's up?" Wu Min walked over to Lin Jin who was standing at the entrance of the clothing store, hands in his pockets, "Why don't you try something on?"

"Hey!" Lin Jin glared at him annoyed, "Why are you acting like Wen Xuan, this shameless guy? Wasting people's time when you can't afford to buy anything."

"No problem, we're the only customers in the store. It's good for them to have something to do" Wu Min said as if it was a matter of course, "Otherwise, if they just play with their phones and do nothing, isn't the boss wasting money hiring them as sales associates?"

Lin Jin was dumbfounded. He felt there was something wrong with Wu Min's statement, but he couldn't find a way to rebut it.

"I'm sleepy. It's past ten. I'm going to sleep." Lin Jin turned his head away unsatisfied, "Anyway, I can't lose face like this. If they knew you and Wen Xuan had no money, they would definitely get angry."

"I don't have money to buy anything, but you're worried Wen Xuan doesn't?" Wu Min chuckled, "Alright, I'll call him to leave."

"Tch, like a loser." Lin Jin gave him an annoyed glance.

Under Lin Jin's incessant urging, Wu Min and Wen Xuan reluctantly left the clothing store. Wen Xuan kept talking about which sales associate was the prettiest, which one was the most thoughtful, but he never mentioned which piece of clothing he liked.

There were no incidents on the way back to the dormitory. When they left Wanda Plaza, the drizzling rain had stopped. The streets were wet, but it didn't affect Lin Jin's good mood.

After the movie, the Black Cat finally reminded her that the task was complete. Although Lin Jin still couldn't understand how Wu Min's sullen face after watching the movie could be considered task completion, the reward from the task kept her mood elevated.

Lin Jin liked money the most, as nobody dislikes it. But the reward for this temporary task was a medium-level facial transformation. Who wouldn't like to become more handsome? That's why so many cosmetic surgery hospitals sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain in recent years, and there were news about people spending millions on cosmetic surgery.

But it seemed like the facial transformation reward was designed for a female face...

That is to say, when she wakes up tomorrow, she might surprisingly find that she has become more feminine?

Eh?

Sitting in the car, Lin Jin suddenly realized this and her mood immediately plummeted.

Perhaps if this continues, even if she keeps her hair short or even shaves her head, she would still be mistaken for a girl on the street.

Maybe after a while, she won't even be able to enter the male dormitory.

Lin Jin felt a strong sense of crisis.

Boarding the bus, Lin Jin, as always, sat in the back compartment. She leaned her head lightly against the window and sighed with some disappointment.

"Hey, Black Cat, why can't you make me more handsome?" Lin Jin quickly typed on the screen with her two thumbs and asked the Black Cat, "Is there a task that can make me more manly? I don't want to take the cute route. Even if you want to turn me into a goddess, make me a handsome one. The kind that makes girls swoon would be better, right?"

After a moment, Black Cat's head popped out from the corner of the screen: "You want to be a lesbian?"

"No, I just want to be a very handsome goddess." Lin Jin knew she couldn't be a complete, normal man anymore, so her request for Black Cat was very low. "I can accept becoming a woman, even a goddess, but if I could be handsome, I'd be okay with it."

"I'm sorry, but my impression of a goddess is — charming and beautiful, with beauty that can overturn a kingdom, and talented in both academics and arts" the Black Cat stood up, spread its paws like a human and shrugged, "So your idea is impossible to realize."

"Talented in academics and arts?" Lin Jin found this incredibly amusing, but didn't want to laugh out loud in front of her roommate for no apparent reason. She bowed her head and shook her shoulders, giggling quietly.

This joke was too funny. Talented? Other than singing in different voices, which might count as an "art", the word "talented" didn't seem to fit her at all.

Skipping classes every day, hardly passing Chinese, Math, and English since high school, and now she was being asked to be "talented in academics and arts"?

After laughing, Lin Jin's expression immediately dimmed. She asked the Black Cat somewhat discontentedly, "Why does it have to be 'talented in academics and art? Are you kidding me? I'm someone who skips classes every day, and you're telling me this?"

"Don't worry. Under my training, you'll soon become the goddess I envision!" The Black Cat naturally raised its head, looking at Lin Jin outside the phone screen with an expression of self-assurance. "Besides, aren't you getting closer to what I hope for now?"

"Your English hasn't passed since middle school, right? Didn't you score eighty points in the last quiz?"

Lin Jin recalled the pain of studying English crazily, and her body shivered slightly, "I think I won't complete such a task a second time. If you ask me not to fail English at the end of the term, I'll definitely give up."

"Just like this week's task?" The Black Cat seemed to remember something fun, its mouth wide open, revealing a set of big white teeth.

"What's up?" Lin Jin felt a jump in her heart, suddenly sensing something was off.

Had she overlooked something?

"No, nothing." The Black Cat turned its head and started to whistle, completely acting as if there was nothing wrong.

But Lin Jin had no way to deal with it. She sighed, deciding to chalk up that weird feeling to a mistake and leave it behind. The carefree Lin Jin indeed, within a minute, completely forgot about the uncomfortable feeling when she started chatting with Wu Min.
