Chapter 267: 10 Lab Rats
Tai Country Beautiful Host:
"Lab Rat Number 1, Jiang Ran, from Hua Country."
"Male, 23 years old. Before entering Hua Country's Alice Apartment, he was an ordinary office worker. After entering, he became the apartment's assistant manager."
"Unlike the vast majority of lab rats who signed agreements, he belongs to the special category of lab rats who entered the apartment differently."
"Lab Rat Number 2, Fang Xiao, from Hua Country, male, 29 years old, unemployed, a retired boxer."
The Tai Country Beautiful Host first introduced the two lab rats from Hua Country.
After she finished her introduction, the large electronic screen behind her began displaying photos of Jiang Ran and Fang Xiao like a slideshow.
In the live stream room.
Cherry Blossom Country - Yamamoto Colonel: [Not easy at all! Our friendly neighbor Hua Country has finally produced two lab rats who survived four rounds. Truly remarkable!]
The live stream room seemed very considerate, having pre-translated every viewer's screen name. Korea - I Love Bae Joo-hyun: [Yes, truly remarkable! After all, usually whether online, in real life, or across various industries, they're like ghosts everywhere. But when it comes to the Far Neighbor live game, their presence has been conspicuously absent.]
It was unclear whether these two naturally spoke with this tone or if the machine translation was inaccurate, but their words carried a distinct sense of sarcasm.
A San Country - Whoever Mentions Lizards Again, I'll Get Angry:
[What's so remarkable? Clearly Hua Country people are just incompetent. Their population is similar to ours, and they used to maintain the world's largest population. But how many lab rats from our A San Country have survived four rounds? And them? Only two after all this time?! Absolutely ridiculous!!!!]
Big Bear Country - Zero: [That's rather biased. Hua Country's Alice Apartment was the last one established worldwide. They've only completed about 28 rounds so far, right? So having only two survivors through four rounds is quite normal.]
Tai Country - Rama I: [That reasoning doesn't hold up. Although our country's Alice Apartment has only gone through about three hundred rounds, by our 28th round, we already had over a dozen who passed four rounds.]
Numerous foreigners were commenting in the discussion area.
Meanwhile, on the Hua Country side, the usual chatterboxes remained silent.
It wasn't that they weren't speaking - mainly because everyone had brains.
After reading these foreigners' comments,
they suddenly developed deep suspicions.
Suspicious about what?
For example, the Middle-aged Uncle and Domineering Female CEO were wondering:
Was that Tai Country guy telling the truth or not?
Did they really have over a dozen lab rats who passed four rounds by their 28th round?
If this was true, it seemed Hua Country really couldn't compare...
After all, at 28 rounds, they only had two survivors...
At this moment,
someone from Hua Country finally spoke up.
Hua Country - I'm Actually a Girl: [Alright everyone, enough with the bragging.]
[True heroes don't boast about past glories, stop constantly living in the past.]
[The performance in this special live stream is what really matters.]
No one expected that I'm Actually a Girl, who usually sounded quite naive in domestic chats, would speak with such unexpected maturity here.
Of course, there were those who refuted her.
But in the live stream footage,
the Tai Country Beautiful Host had already begun introducing the next lab rats.
"Lab Rat Number 3, from Cherry Blossom Country, male, 30 years old, Hashimoto Kazuo, a doctor."
"Lab Rat Number 4, from Cherry Blossom Country, male, 59 years old, Nakamori Aoshi, a chef."
"Lab Rat Number 5, from Korea, male, 35 years old, Kim Bukk, fried chicken shop owner."
"Lab Rat Number 6, from Tai Country, male, 29 years old, Wannara, a ladyboy worker."
Of course, there were those who refuted her.
But in the live stream footage,
Certainly not out of mockery - ladyboys are very common in Tai Country.
Her smile was purely because she saw Wannara's photos -
the various lifestyle and artistic photos displayed on the large electronic screen behind her.
Her smile was a reaction to seeing a beautiful woman, even though this was technically a ladyboy.
When Wannara's photos were revealed, they also surprised many non-Tai Country foreigners in the live stream room.
After all, many wealthy people in this live stream room had rather unique preferences.
A ladyboy this beautiful was definitely on their list.
They wouldn't mind at all that this was a ladyboy - a man transformed into a woman.
[Wait, how did such a beautiful ladyboy become a lab rat?]
A Cherry Blossom Country person suddenly asked.
[How much does your Tai Country Alice Apartment pay these lab rats per day?]
This Cherry Blossom Country person's meaning was simple:
Such a beautiful ladyboy had no need to enter the dangerous Alice Apartment, right?
With their beauty, they should easily earn more money than what the Alice Apartment could offer.
A Tai Country person answered this question:
[In our Tai Country, it's about 45,000 Tai baht per day!!]
45,000 Tai baht was roughly equivalent to 10,000 Chinese yuan.
Compared to Tai Country's average monthly income converted to Chinese yuan - around two to three thousand, three to four thousand -
10,000 Chinese yuan per day was quite tempting.
But that was only for ordinary people.
Not for such a beautiful ladyboy.
Because of the one-hour comment restriction,
the Tai Country person who just answered about monthly income couldn't comment anymore.
The next comment came from another Tai Country person.
[The reason this ladyboy named Wannara stays in Alice Apartment to earn money is simple.]
[Although he transformed into a ladyboy and earns money through beauty, he doesn't engage in prostitution.]
[Because of this, he offended a big shot in Tai Country. That big shot follows the 'if I can't have it, I'll destroy it' mentality.]
[Many money-making opportunities became unavailable to him. So, you understand now?]
An A San Country person said: [Then why don't you help him? He's so pitiful.]
A Tai Country person: [Hahaha, help? Are you joking? First, helping him means making an enemy of the big shot who blacklisted him. Second, with such a beautiful ladyboy, wouldn't you want to try him?]
These people in the comment section showed no restraint in revealing their true nature online.
At this moment,
the introduction of lab rats continued.
However, the person introducing the lab rats changed from the Tai Country Beautiful Host to someone from A San Country.
A San Country belongs to the Caucasian race, although many have quite dark skin which raises questions, they are indeed considered Caucasian.
A San Country also produces beautiful women.
But many beauties come from high castes.
As everyone knows, A San Country has a caste system divided into: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and Dalit.
The strict hierarchy is utterly despair-inducing.
This A San Country beautiful host had striking facial features, big wavy hair, and although her facial skin tone differed from the others' snow-white complexion, being somewhat yellowish,
overall, she was equally attractive.
This female host was clearly from a high caste as well.
She began continuing the introduction of lab rats.
