Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Jiang Mian took a half step back and examined it carefully.

Aside from lacking normal physiological reactions, it's quite realistic.

Those eyes, though beautiful, lacked focus and appeared somewhat dull.

After all, it was a puppet made of water, and its eyes were just decorations. They couldn't share her vision and could only be remotely controlled by her through the medium of flowing wind.

But to make it look even more realistic, she still needs to make some minor adjustments.

For example, body temperature could be maintained by adding a little "fire," as could breathing rhythm, language ability, or even some technology.

Go check out the city defenses later; some of the equipment there can be purchased directly, and it might come in handy.

Speaking of which, if you were to use extremely compressed "water" to make a puppet, it would look quite similar to a "painted skin" without any skin, both being black humanoid figures without facial features.

But now that it's been covered with a layer of skin, the visual experience is completely different.

Jiang Mian had a slight thought and tried to make it move around.

In previous uses, she was already able to operate it with ease.

However, it seems like something is missing?

clothing?

Jiang Mian paused, her gaze falling on its fair body.

It seems like she... pinched it too hard?

Putting aside the lining, just looking at the outer garment, if you put clothes from your own wardrobe over it, your stomach probably wouldn't be fully covered.

Jiang Mian rubbed her temples. Buying clothes was already a headache, but now she had to put together an outfit for another persona that had nothing to do with her.

What should I do?

She only wanted to create a unique character, so why did she subconsciously end up making it like this?

Could it be her XP?

Jiang Mian raised her head and looked at its face. The slight upward curve of the corners of its eyes, coupled with its unfocused gaze, seemed to possess a unique kind of beauty.

"I don't feel anything..."

Come to think of it, wouldn't a smaller body type be more suitable?

It's more deceptive, and given its tablet-like nature, they even skipped the fabric...

Perhaps it was that inexplicable competitive spirit deep down within me.

Although she already had all these accessories herself, and they were quite large, she was still a little disappointed about her height and always dreamed of being tall.

With a touch of obsessive-compulsive disorder, wanting to correct her figure further and make it more perfect, she ended up looking like this.

As for why it wasn't made to be male...

When Jiang Mian was making a deal with Du Biao before, she was able to keep her voice down and sound aloof and distant.

But once that energy is released, the tone turns back to soft and weak.

If you want to simulate other sounds...

Although I can do it, it always feels a bit strange, so different from my past self, and it feels inexplicably awkward, making it easy to give myself away.

Well, actually, she didn't want to admit that she had subtly changed in some way.

Even if she were to fabricate a fake version to deceive herself, she would find it difficult to do so, since that is the reality.

"Never mind, it's not important, as long as it works."

Jiang Mian didn't let it last long. He waved his hand, letting it go into the bathroom, where it turned into ordinary water and scattered on the ground with a "splash." The skin also slumped down and fell off.

Jiang Mian picked it up, shook it, and it dried out.

After packing all her things, she kicked off her slippers and crawled into the still-warm bed.

Speaking of which, the weather in this world is indeed strange.

Even though it's almost summer now, the temperature fluctuates, and I have to keep changing my blankets and clothes.

Especially during the period immediately after she arrived here, she encountered two weeks of rainy weather, which made her shiver with cold, a memory she still vividly remembers.

With her current physical condition, although she is not afraid of the cold, she will subconsciously crave warmth.

This is also why she often stays in bed longer.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to sleep..."

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Jiang Mian was awakened by an incoming phone call.

"Ugh, it's eight o'clock? Time to go to work?"

She mumbled something, then groggily turned over and reached for her phone.

The caller ID showed Qin Wu.

Strange, I wasn't late? Wasn't it supposed to start work at 8:30...?

Jiang Mian didn't think much of it and answered the phone.

"Hello? Uncle Qin..."

"Good morning, Xiao Jiang. Did I disturb you?"

She rubbed her eyes, glanced out the window, and mumbled:

"No, I just woke up."

"...So diligent? You're something else."

Qin Wu seemed to have a slight smile on his face as he casually made a compliment, and the faint sound of turning pages could be heard in the background.

"I have something to tell you. Today's shift has been adjusted, so your holiday has been extended by one day. You'll be back on duty tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Jiang Mian sat up and was immediately no longer sleepy.

The arrangements for city defense are generally fixed, and there are very few temporary adjustments.

"Are there other arrangements?"

"right."

Qin Wu answered decisively:

"Report to the No. 3 maintenance area on the East City Wall at 7:00 AM tomorrow. Just put on your combat uniform."

"A big mission?"

Jiang Mian was a little puzzled, as missions were usually concentrated at night, and there were very few situations where people would gather in advance.

"Yes."

Qin Wu paused, then suddenly lowered his voice:

"They said they were going to transfer a batch of important supplies from Base City 143. There are several teams participating in this mission, all with the same configuration as our team."

"A mission of this scale involves a lot of activity, but under normal circumstances it should be handled quite safely."

Jiang Mian understood; it meant to lead the training.

In fact, the function of city defense is not limited to simply guarding the city or eliminating threats around the city walls.

Several years ago, as the fog-shrouded passages were completed one after another, the city's defense forces began to participate in the protection of the passages.

If a calamity strikes, their help will be needed for the recovery and restoration.

After all, this job is too dangerous. If the construction bureau were to do it, the disaster would probably swallow everything up before the work even started.

Even though the area where the road is located is protected by [Radiance], some powerful calamities can still temporarily break through the restrictions and force their way in.

"Okay, I understand."

"Um."

Qin Wu's tone softened:

"No one can predict what will happen in the fog, so we still need to be vigilant. Get ready, have a good rest today, and see you tomorrow."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mian hugged her phone and shrank back inside.

Escort missions... At this point, what can be escorted?

She had a vague feeling that it was related to the chaos in the city, but it was unlikely to be equipment.

While inside the city walls, Jiang Mian visited the logistics area at the lower level of the city wall. The area was fully equipped, and there was no need to replenish it.

Jiang Mian had no ideas, so she shook her head to try and stop thinking about it.

These things are for those in higher positions to worry about; they have nothing to do with her, as long as they're not used to beat her.

Jiang Mian lingered in bed for a while longer before reluctantly getting up.

I have some time now, so I might as well go out and buy some clothes that I might need.

It's not that she doesn't want to buy online anymore, it's just that the logistics system in this world is really terrible. Even within the same city, it can take several days to arrive. Even if she's not impatient, she doesn't want to wait.

She can also get something good to eat on the way; she hasn't had meat in a long time... even though it might be expensive.

She had been thinking about this for a while, but unfortunately she was too busy and never had the time.

After washing up, Jiang Mian casually changed into a set of clothes and went out.
