Chapter 1616: Rubik's Cube Beauty (78)
The burly man standing at the front pointed at his shoulder, where there was nothing but empty space.
“My
arm's gone. I need to buy a new one.”
“Very
well. Any specific requirements?”
“I
want it to look exactly like the original. But it needs to possess immense
strength, and ordinary blades shouldn't be able to damage it.” The man spoke
excitedly.
“Anything
else?”
“No.”
“One
indestructible arm with tremendous strength. Total price: two million Rubik's
Cube coins.”
“Alright.”
The
man didn't hesitate in the slightest and pulled out a card.
It
was a Rubik's Cube card. Upon reaching Trading City, people could store all
their Rubik's Cube coins inside it, making transactions much more convenient.
The
card was also miraculous, allowing direct transfers between cards.
After
transferring two million Rubik's Cube coins to the receptionist, the man was
invited into the inner room.
About
five minutes later, he walked out, happily waving his restored right arm.
Just
as he was about to punch the wall to test it, the clerk reminded him, “Damaging
public property incurs a fine of one million.”
The
man nearly jumped out of his skin and fled in a panic, causing everyone nearby
to burst into laughter.
Yi
Yingxue's eyes lit up.
So
this place really could provide anything.
The
corners of Tang Guo's lips curved upward slightly.
Wasn't
the Rubik's Cube World wonderful?
It
was more than wonderful.
You
really could buy anything here.
And
since you could buy anything, wasn't it only natural to pay a price?
“What
would you like to buy?”
Standing
before the counter was a woman whose face had been horribly disfigured.
“I
want a pretty face. It doesn't have to be peerlessly beautiful, just pleasant
to look at, with smooth skin. If it's too beautiful, I'm afraid my wallet won't
survive.”
“Five
hundred thousand Rubik's Cube coins.”
After
paying, the woman was also invited inside.
A
short while later, she came out.
Had
she not been wearing the same clothes, people might have thought she was
someone else.
Her
new face was indeed beautiful, though not breathtaking, and her skin was smooth
and fair.
The
woman looked thoroughly satisfied.
“The
Rubik's Cube World truly is a wonderful place. It fulfilled a dream I never
dared imagine in my entire life. To be honest, I was badly burned when I was a
child. It was severe, and my family was poor. There was never a chance for
treatment. Even with skin grafts in our world, I could never have recovered
like this.”
After
saying that, she left happily.
Afterward,
they witnessed many people purchasing all sorts of strange things.
Most
of them came to the counter because of physical defects.
Elderly
people came to buy youth and lifespan.
Overweight
people bought miraculous weight-loss pills that could make them slim instantly
without any side effects.
Most
women purchased beauty and youth, while men more often sought strength.
Finally,
it was Yi Yingxue's turn.
“I
have a terminal illness. I want medicine that can cure it.”
“One
million Rubik's Cube coins.”
With
Xie Yun's help, Yi Yingxue had never been imprisoned. Surviving a full month in
Sin City had earned her nearly ten million Rubik's Cube coins. Combined with
her gains from Amusement City, she had become a small rich woman.
One
million meant very little to her.
After
paying, she was invited inside.
Not
long afterward, Yi Yingxue emerged.
Gone
was her pale complexion.
Her face was rosy and healthy, and there was no trace of her former weakness.
Author's Note:
Tomorrow, this world is about to end.
Next
world: Miss Good Girl.
A
brief preview:
There
are always people who cannot refuse others. They would rather suffer themselves
than offend anyone. They feel guilty after rejecting others, and even guilty
when they fail to help.
Unable
to refuse exploitative parents and younger brothers, they become slaves to
their family.
Unable
to reject scumbag men, they let their youth be ruined.
Unable
to refuse classmates asking for answers during exams—if the classmate scores
poorly, it's your fault; if they score well, you get no credit; if you're
caught, you take the blame.
Unable
to refuse coworkers' requests—good deeds go unnoticed, bad results become your
responsibility.
Miss
Good Girl will tell you that a better life is only one word away:
“No.”
Refusing isn't that difficult.
