VCRMM: Chapter 476

Su Mo sat at his desk in a daze for a while. Finally, he opened the Starry Sky forum on his computer to search for related terms about disguise cards.

Unfortunately, there was still no news about the disguise card, but there were quite a few posts complaining about being dissatisfied with their appearance and wanting to change their faces.

Below these posts, the official customer service replies stated that they had recorded the requests and would forward them to the game development team.

Given Starry Sky Age’s consistent emphasis on player service, the disguise card should be available sooner or later. After all, it wasn’t a complicated requirement.

Moreover, it wouldn’t affect the game balance and would make players willingly spend money. The game developers had no reason to give up this part of the profit.

Su Mo left the forum and shut down his computer.

His gaze fell on the came cabin, his eyes flickering slightly.

The only remaining question was whether Chi Yu could accept him in reality? He picked up the mirror and looked at himself.

Su Mo was originally quite confident in his facial features but he was now starting to hesitate. After all, Chi Yu was very good-looking.

Besides…

What should he do if Chi Yu was heterosexual?

In reality, there was nothing he could do. He wasn’t the type of person to argue or make things difficult for someone. No matter how much he liked them, he couldn’t force them to change their orientation. But…

No matter how realistic Starry Sky Age might seem, it was still essentially a game. Since it was a game, let’s consider another possibility.

Playing with a female character!

Su Mo’s face turned slightly green upon considering this possibility.

He really didn’t want to play a female account unless absolutely necessary.

He had never played a female character since he started playing games, let alone a fully immersive game. He also preferred to be the one taking the initiative.

The problem was that the game had anti-sexual harassment mechanisms, preventing players and NPCs from engaging in intimate behaviors. Even hugging had very strict standards.

He hadn’t caught Chi Yu yet, but countless pioneers on the Starry Sky Forum had already provided him with experience.

Starry Sky Age was extremely strict with players. It was impossible to even attempt to skirt the rules. They would either be forced offline or subjected to the holy light, with the game heavily censored.

Regardless of gender, players could never take off their underwear. Previously a rival reported Starry Sky Age, but after careful investigation, the official team found no trace of sexual content.

It was fair to say that this game, which was known for its realism, was simply outrageous.

Therefore, apart from appearance, there was no essential difference between playing a female and a male character.

This put Su Mo in a dilemma.

Did he like Chi Yu to the point of playing a cross-dressing character in a holographic game?

Of course, the most likely scenario was that even if he played a female character, Chi Yu didn’t like him. That guy only cared about architecture and magic circles. He didn’t think about anything else.

Like him, Chi Yu had never been in a relationship.

Su Mo’s mood inexplicably plummeted. After glancing at the time, he still went over, opened the game cabin and lay down inside.

He selected to import the scanned blueprints into Starry Sky Age and skillfully entered the game.

After a period of darkness, a faint light appeared before his eyes and Su Mo opened them.

His game character appeared in a room.

This was Chi Yu’s dormitory in Doha Town. It was called a dormitory but it was actually designed and built by himself. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms and a large balcony with excellent natural light.

After following Chi Yu to Doha Town, Su Mo shamelessly begged Chi Yu to rent him a room.

Chi Yu was a young man who had just entered society. How could he stand Su Mo’s shameless harassment? In the end, he became Su Mo’s landlord and rented out a spare guest room to him.

Su Mo naturally wanted to take advantage of his proximity. After he demonstrated his superb cooking skills, their relationship started to progress rapidly and they quickly became close.

However, that closeness was similar to that of a good buddy.

I want to mess with you but you treat me like a brother?

Su Mo was very sad.

He didn’t rush out of the room. Instead, he opened his backpack and took out the completed blueprints, which were the assignment Chi Yu had given him yesterday.

Once he logged off, he had consulted professional books and sought advice from experts. He finally managed to barely figure it out.

Another thing that saddened Su Mo was that Chi Yu thought he was very talented, perhaps due to always doing a good job with the assignments, so Chi Yu assigned him more and more difficult assignments.

In order to prove himself, he naturally did his best every time. This caused him to fall into a vicious cycle.

Su Mo shook his head, took the blueprints and walked out of the room. He casually placed them on the living room table before going into the kitchen.

The kitchen had changed dramatically since his first visit. The decor had been completely renovated and all types of kitchen utensils were now readily available.

All of this came from the system shop. This was the update that Su Mo was most satisfied with since the open beta.

It really had everything and covered all aspects of life. This led many players to complain that Starry Sky Era was probably going to be a casual lifestyle game.

However, after experiencing the convenience and pleasures that these things brought to the game, all he could say was—

It was so good!

Su Mo cooked Chi Yu’s favorite eight treasure porridge in the rice cooker. This eight treasure porridge was naturally the Roland version, with Black Valley and Snow Valley as the main ingredients, and other beans and grains were mixed in.

Most of these grains and beans were new varieties cultivated by Yin Xuemei’s team. They tasted much better than those originally from Roland, and the rice porridge made from them was fragrant and sweet. However, the yield was low and it wasn’t officially sold on the market.

As for how Su Mo got his hands on them?

He was the first magic circle master among the players and was very famous. Yin Xuemei personally approached him, hoping he could help build a small teleportation circle.

Over time, the two of them became acquainted.

Su Mo built the teleportation circle for her for free, and she provided him with new agricultural products in return. This was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Su Mo still remembered the expression on Chi Yu’s face when he first ate this type of porridge. He liked it so much that Su Mo felt both proud and distressed.

After all, the cultivation time was too short. Apart from one or two types of beans that were close to reality, the rest were slightly inferior.

He could only silently support Yin Xuemei’s career, hoping that she would cultivate more improved agricultural products as soon as possible to that Xiao Yu could eat more delicious food.

Buzz!

Just then, Su Mo’s message notification rang.

He opened it and saw that it was a message from Yin Xuemei. His eyes lit up and he quickly opened it to take a look.

Yin Xuemei: [Xiao Mo, I’ve recently cultivated a new fruit that looks and tastes like lychee. Would you like to get some to try?]

Su Mo: [!!!!]

Su Mo: [Yes yes yes! Sister Mei, please save some for me. I will go pick it up today!]

Yin Xuemei: [Okay, here is a basket for you.]

Starry Sky Age was definitely a boon for farming enthusiasts.

The Roland Empire was full of uncultivated land and could fully meet everyone’s needs.

Once you became a wood elementalist, you could accelerate the growth of plants and there was no need to wait too long to check the results. You can also personally taste the results.

Players like Yin Xuemei had become increasingly common since the open beta, but few possessed her extensive agricultural knowledge, enabling her to develop new varieties in such a short time.

Su Mo was so happy at the thought of being able to eat lychees soon that he felt like he was floating on air.

In reality, he definitely didn’t lack anything but there was no Chi Yu to eat with him! He believed that Chi Yu would definitely be conquered by the deliciousness of lychees.

Su Mo cooked the porridge and steamed a basket of buns and shu mai.

He came out of the kitchen carrying a tray and saw the red-haired youth sitting on the living room sofa, looking down at the blueprints.

The young man’s hair was a bit longer than when they first met, with natural curls falling down. Under the sunlight, he seemed to be coated with a halo.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the young man looked up at him, his red jewel-like eyes curving slightly in a smile when they met his gaze.

“Good morning, Su Mo.”

Su Mo swallowed hard, suppressed his wildly beating heart and said casually, “Good morning, Xiao Yu.”

Then he carried the tray to the dining table.

“I made shu mai today and there is also eight treasure porridge in the kitchen. Come and eat!”

Chi Yu put down the blueprints in his hand and said with a smile, “It is all my favorite foods.”

“Yes.”

Su Mo gave a mumbled reply before going to the kitchen to get more porridge. Chi Yu followed behind him, saying, “Let me help you.”

As Su Mo opened the rice cooker, Chi Yu came over with a bowl and said, “It smells so good.”

He squinted and took a deep sniff of the aroma emanating from the porridge.

Su Mo stared at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at the long eyelashes and fair, handsome profile. His heart skipped a beat and his heartbeat became erratic again.

Just then, Chi Yu turned to look at him and smiled. “Su Mo…”

Su Mo couldn’t hear what Chi Yu said after that. His eyes were fixed on the young man’s lips as they opened and closed. He felt that his throat was dry and itchy, and his lips were tingling.

He really wanted to… kiss him…

Su Mo uncontrollably moved closer until he saw the confusion in the red-haired youth’s eyes.

“Su Mo?” Chi Yu called out to him again.

Su Mo came back to his senses. At this moment, the distance between the two of them was less than two centimeters. Just a bit more and he would’ve kissed Chi Yu.

However, despite their close and ambiguous distance, Chi Yu’s eyes remained clear and showed no sign of shyness.

Su Mo felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head and his feverish mind calmed down.

He reached out and ran his hand across Chi Yu’s cheek. “It is a bit dirty here.”

He mumbled something incoherently before quickly ladling out the porridge. He carried it out of the kitchen and his back looked exactly like he was fleeing in panic.

Behind him, Chi Yu looked at Su Mo’s back and tilted his head slightly.

Was he overthinking it?

He raised his hand and touched his ear, covered by his hair. He felt it was a bit hot.

The two sat down facing each other and started to eat as if nothing had happened.

Su Mo was clearly distracted and a closer look would show that his spirit was a bit sluggish. Meanwhile, Chi Yu ate very seriously and his attitude was bordering on reverence.

It wasn’t known if it was just Chi Yu’s imagination, but Su Mo’s cooking seemed to be getting better and better. Being able to eat Su Mo’s delicious food every day was truly a blessing for him.

Halfway through the meal, Chi Yu remembered something and said softly, “Su Mo, I just looked at your blueprints and you have improved a lot. I feel that I soon won’t have anything left to teach you.”

Su Mo, who had been lost in thought, was stunned when he heard this. He understood the meaning behind the words and hurriedly shook his head.

“How can that be? I didn’t complete those blueprints alone. I consulted several architecture experts and they helped me. I am a complete novice!”

The dining room fell silent.

The two of them looked at each other and Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat when he saw the expression on Chi Yu’s face.

F*k, he accidentally exposed it!

He managed to speak with difficulty. “That… No, Xiao Yu, let me explain…”

Chi Yu looked at him, thought for a moment and asked seriously, “Su Mo, since you know such great architectural experts, why do you insist that I teach you?”
