Conquering OtherWorld Starts With a Game-Chapter 22.2: Illusory Disguise

The two rich big shots hadn't planned to test the Orb of Deception on the spot, but witnessing the impressive effect of Give Me Medicine's accessory made them curious and they decided to use it as well.

And then… one boss transformed into an elderly gentleman with a dignified face and the air of a general, while the other transformed into a muscular female warrior.

.

"The heck! Why are you an old man?!"

"How the f*ck did you become a woman?!"

"I chose a female character… Damn, does the illusion follow the player's chosen gender?!"

"Ahahaha! Don't speak with your manly voice, I'm dying of laughter!"

The players that were surrounding Give Me Medicine quickly gathered the rich big shot that was playing a female character.

"Do all the illusions wear the same clothes? Can it be changed?"

"Damn, this physique could be in a biology textbook!"

The big shot who played as a female character couldn't see it himself and didn't mind the mismatch between his deep voice and the female illusion. He was rather delighted to be the center of attention and said, "Wait, let me see… Yes, the outfit can be changed. There's still a secondary skill on the accessory skill with three options."

He then performed an on-the-spot costume change. In a swift movement, the bulky female warrior in the tight rider outfit turned into the same warrior in a long and elegant dress.

"What the h*ck! Hahaha, it's like a transvestite boss but with muscles!"

"These chest muscles are incredible, really damn firm—"

Whii—iik! Tukk!

An arrow struck the head of the player who had rudely slapped the female boss's chest with his bony hand, and he disappeared in a flash of light.

"What the f*ck?!"

The crowd of players surrounding the big shot playing a female character quickly retreated in a panic.

Beyond the crowd, Tuttle lowered his longbow and coldly declared, "Death to those who show disrespect to ladies!"

The crowd of players: "…"

Big shot with the female character: "…"

"Damn, is this NPC a feminist or what? Wait, isn't this fella clearly a guy?" a player exclaimed in shock.

"No, I think the Ranger Instructor just wanted an excuse to kill players. He didn't show any mercy even when female players were grinding here and killed them just as ruthlessly." Another player cleverly saw through it all.

Tuttle snorted disdainfully, not bothering to explain to these filthy undead… Anyway, according to the rules, he could execute these undead on the spot if they did anything inappropriate. He would never miss an opportunity when he saw one!

Unfortunately, no matter how much he killed these despicable undead, he couldn't completely eradicate them. They would reappear lively and kicking after a certain period of time, which really frustrated him.

The Ranger Instructor was known for shooting to kill without any hesitation, and this wasn't the first time. After the initial shock subsided, the players continued with whatever they were doing.

Envious of the female character who could "change outfits," Blossoming Strokes eagerly extended her hand toward her pal and said, "Let me try, let me try it out too!"

"Oh, oh, alright." Give Me Medicine, who had just changed the outfit using the secondary skill, quickly canceled the illusory disguise, took off the precious gem necklace, and handed it to Blossoming Strokes.

Blossoming Strokes excitedly activated the equipment skill that appeared in the skill panel after wearing the accessory.

And then, she transformed into a super muscular lady with a broader and more athletic figure than the female character-playing big shot's illusion…

Before Blossoming Strokes could recover from the shock of realizing her arms were thicker than most people's thighs, she noticed that the players who had been standing next to her, including her companion Give Me Medicine, were recoiling and retreating from her in fear.

These extremely bold players wouldn't even be scared away by the most terrifying zombie NPCs, but this behavioral abnormality immediately gave Blossoming Strokes an ominous feeling.

In a trembling voice, she asked, "W-what are you all doing? W-why are you keeping a distance from me?"

"N-nothing, really, it's nothing." Give Me Medicine, who had put at least two meters of distance between them, quickly shook his head.

"It's nothing? Then why are you still backing away?"

"Just… It's really nothing." Give Me Medicine seemed unable to bear it anymore, stiffly avoiding eye contact and not daring to look straight at Blossoming Strokes.

Blossoming Strokes: "…"

She slowly turned her head to face Jia Luo, the female player who had managed to gather over 300 copper coins by herself.

Jia Luo, a lone wolf and strong-willed grinder, couldn't hold back the urge to gag and made an unpleasant sound.

Blossoming Strokes: "…"

Blossoming Strokes couldn't accept the fact that her character's illusion was even more horrifying than a zombie NPC and only assumed there was a problem with the accessory skill. Thus, she hurriedly fumbled to activate the secondary option.

Upon making the selection, the default rider outfit on her illusory disguise transformed into the same gorgeous dress that the big shot with the female character had on.

Exclamations for "Argh!" and "Damn!" sounded from players who were already three meters away. Some screamed in horror, others covered their eyes with both hands, and a few turned away hastily and even ran away.

The two big shots some distance away from the main crowd who had been excitedly experimenting with their illusory disguises looked over in astonishment.

Big shot No. 1, whose disguise was an old man, revealed a sympathetic look on his face.

"Something's terribly wrong!" Blossoming Strokes shouted as she took off the Orb of Deception, forcibly ending the illusory disguise cast on her.

Then, Blossoming Strokes dragged her teammate Give Me Medicine and ran to find Vanilla Pudding.

Qin Guan wanted to play as a warrior and had no intention of playing as a knight. Moreover, as a broke streamer that understood his own economic ability well, he didn't fathom any unrealistic fantasies with the Undead Horse.

However, because there was a player in the small team he formed who had farmed Knight Instructor reputation and a wallet warrior that had sought him out because of his recruiting ability, Qin Guan was presently camping at the Knight Instructor's construction site, where the outcome would be decided shortly.

After the auction of the Orbs of Deceptions was completed, a fourth player that had farmed enough reputation appeared at the Knight Instructor's side. And now, all the rich big shots and onlookers waiting around nervously watched the final dash for the last remaining slot. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Blossoming Strokes arrived at the site and, without saying a word, put the Orb of Deception around Qin Guan's neck.

"Congrats on successfully getting the orb, Give Me Medicine!" Qin Guan said gleefully as he checked the equipment information. "Do you want me to try it too?"

After confirming that using the equipment skill wouldn't bind the orb, Qin Guan activated "Illusionary Disguise."

In an instant, Qin Guan transformed from an ordinary, aged skeleton into a stunning and powerful beauty with a slender waist, well-defined limbs, and flowing wavy hair.

Her physique was more athletic than Gal Gadot's, her demeanor more assertive, and her appearance even more beautiful than Gal Gadot's.

"What the hell?!!!"

Not only Blossoming Strokes and Give Me Medicine, but the players who were anxiously awaiting the Undead Horse auction's conclusion turned their attention to Vanilla Pudding in unison and erupted with ecstatic excitement as if they had unexpectedly seen a top-tier celebrity beauty sitting among them while they were squatting at a roadside stall eating fried noodles.

"Why!" Blossoming Strokes burst into tears. "I can't accept this!"

Inside the Town Hall, Yang Qiu couldn't bear to watch the female player who had been passionately rallying "OtherWorld" and even delaying her own quests to defend the game crying her heart out.

He silently exited the imprint matrix. "I didn't expect this either…" muttered Yang Qiu as he awkwardly made himself a new cup of milk tea.

"Illusionary Disguise can only modify the user's appearance based on their own physical properties, and the original form is still those soldiers who perished on this ancient battlefield. When I gave you rows of female skeletons to choose from, who would have imagined the guy would have chosen the most beautiful one, while the girl picked the most horrifying…"
