Chapter 18 : Disguise Technique
18: Disguise Technique
Near noon, inside Sushan Film City, waves of food aromas appeared. Many extras who had finished their scenes went to designated locations to collect their lunch boxes for the day.
"July Love Song of Lies" was the same.
Due to the absence of a supporting actor, corresponding plot scenes were delayed. This morning's filming progress, honestly speaking, was not smooth.
They had NG'd countless times in one morning, and the filming progress was only one-fourth of a usual day.
Regarding this, Lin Muyao couldn't help but sigh. It seemed today would be another overtime day, with probably another tough battle to fight this afternoon.
After washing her face with clean water to refresh herself, Lin Muyao, who had worked all morning, headed toward the lunch box distribution area.
Before she could get her meal, she discovered her best friend An Xiaoqian waiting for her with a lunch box in good spirits.
Seeing her friend's appearance of 'something good happened,' Lin Muyao's depressed mood improved somewhat. She took the lunch box from the other's hand, and then finally noticed something off, belatedly asking:
"Xiaoqian, where did Junior Su Mo go?"
"And why are your socks missing?"
❀⋆｡°✿☆❀✿°｡⋆❀
Achoo~
Su Mo, currently sitting on the return bus, rubbed her reddened nose after sneezing and closed the window.
The noon bus by Sushan Film City was different from the exaggerated crowds of morning and evening when sometimes you couldn't even squeeze onto the bus.
At noon, there were particularly few people. In the entire carriage, including Su Mo and the driver, there were only five people total. No one was playing music loudly in the carriage either, making it unexpectedly quiet.
Su Mo sat in a single seat in the middle of the vehicle, admiring the beautiful scenery of the film city outside the window. After a long while, her rapidly beating heart finally returned to calm.
After completely calming down, Su Mo on the bus began reviewing why her 'male disguise' had been exposed.
Recalling An Xiaoqian's intimate actions just now, while Su Mo's lustrous white pretty face blushed slightly, she also finally remembered some details.
According to what Lin Muyao said in the car, An Xiaoqian was a junior art student at Su University. People who study art naturally have more sensitivity to male and female body structures.
Recalling that in Weiyang Apartments, she had wanted to take off her jacket for a few seconds, Su Mo estimated that it was probably during that time that she exposed her identity.
After finding the cause of exposure, Su Mo didn't feel happy about it, but instead became even more heavy-hearted.
After all, today was the first day and she had just completed the first mission, yet she had already exposed her identity in front of Senior An.
Although judging by Senior An's little devil personality, she wouldn't tell Lin Muyao or outsiders about this secret, but would instead use this secret to threaten her into doing shameful things, so she didn't need to worry about her telling on her.
From the results, this point, for Su Mo who was touching the white stockings in her pocket, could be considered cause for celebration.
But this experience also made Su Mo realize a problem: playing 'crossdressing' in reality was far more difficult than described in novels.
Merely actions like getting a haircut this morning or simply wearing long-sleeved jackets couldn't support her successful completion of the SSS mission.
If she wanted to complete it, she needed more realistic disguise.
So how exactly should she strengthen her disguise?
[Ding, sensing the host's troubles, warm reminder: the host can try purchasing skills provided in the shop to overcome difficulties.]
Just as Su Mo was thinking about this problem, the next second, the challenge system's reminder rang in her mind.
Hearing this reminder, Su Mo was slightly stunned.
Emmmmmm right, I'm someone who has a system.
It's just that because she'd always been buying 'Cardiac Stimulants' to stay alive, she had forgotten about the system shop.
In her mind, she silently opened the system shop that she rarely checked.
The system shop interface had a wide variety of products, but the prices were also really expensive. Taking Su Mo's completed C-level mission: Who Says Only Those Standing in Light Are Heroes (McNugget Hero) as an example, one C-level mission roughly earned 100 Challenge Coins, B-level about 500 coins, A-level was 1200-1800 floating, and the extremely difficult S-level mission Su Mo was currently doing gave at most 4500 Challenge Coins.
The items sold in the system shop started at a minimum of 100 Challenge Coins, showing how expensive they were.
Su Mo scanned the products row by row. After skipping some indescribable items like Fox Demon Transformation Pills (one day), Loli Happy Orange Juice, Hypnosis APP, etc., one item appeared that made Su Mo's eyes light up.
[Disguise Technique]: Rumored to be the disguise technique left by an excellent spy named 'Twilight' from a certain dimension. Those who learn this skill can use 'makeup' to disguise themselves as various humans they've seen, thus evading police pursuit.
Price: 500 Challenge Coins.
Looking at this skill's detailed introduction, Su Mo's eyes lit up.
Wasn't this exactly the disguise skill she had been longing for?
After seeing the price of 500 Challenge Coins, if it were before, Su Mo would definitely have a headache. After all, 500 Challenge Coins would require quite a few missions, but now!
Thinking of the S-level Heartbeat Hide and Seek mission rewards, Su Mo couldn't help but clench her small fists, her eyes full of hope.
As long as she completed two more missions and obtained the [Disguise Technique], then this S-level mission might really be completable!
"Ding dong, passengers, Weiyang Apartments station has arrived."
Just as Su Mo regained confidence, the vehicle coincidentally arrived at Weiyang Apartments station.
After getting off at the station, Su Mo immediately saw this morning's breakfast shop owner.
However, unlike his breakfast stall apron outfit, he had now changed into quite professional real estate attire, even having styled his hair with gel, clearly having a professional salesperson vibe.
Seeing Su Mo get off the bus, the part-time job guy who had arranged to meet her on WeChat directly approached, speaking anxiously:
"Brother Shen, you finally came! If you hadn't come soon, I was afraid the tutoring position would be snatched by other university students. You don't know how competitive university students are now. Come, come, let's quickly go to the client's house!"
Hearing the part-time job guy mention 'university students being competitive,' having seen his Moments, Su Mo silently followed while internally complaining:
Emmmmmm selling breakfast in the morning, plus part-time various community business and real estate sales, one person doing three jobs—from this perspective, university students really can't out-compete you.
After finishing her internal complaints, they arrived at the main entrance of the residential area. Just as Su Mo and the part-time job guy were registering together on the form to prepare to enter the community, a mature girl's voice containing intellectual big sister qualities suddenly rang out behind Su Mo:
"Junior Su Mo, so you're the tutor that Brother Wang introduced?"
Hearing someone call her name, Su Mo instinctively turned around and saw a girl in a white dress standing in the sunlight. The girl had clear, beautiful features and a gentle temperament. At first glance, she had that neighborly big sister's virtuous flavor and a sense of security.
At this moment, the girl was holding a soft, cute little child with a backpack on each side, further surrounding the girl with an indescribable housewife aura.
Looking at this scene, Su Mo was stunned for quite a while before barely coming to her senses, murmuring somewhat incredulously:
"Chu... President, these two children are they..."
