Because of My Stupidity, I Became a Timid Vampire

Chapter 126 : When I Listen Again, I Am Already a Person in the Song

Bai He's new book release has been out for a full five days now. The word count had just reached fifteen thousand, but the bookmarks had already reached nine hundred—a standout among new releases, and worlds apart from her previous book.

Gender transformation was indeed one of the most popular novel genres on Carrot Bun Light Novels. With Bai He's not particularly outstanding writing style, she had only written an attractive opening, yet it had drawn in a large number of readers.

"This premise hits me right in the feels, bookmarking first, I'll read it when it's fattened up."

"These opening chapters are so satisfying to read, too thrilling."

"I want a sister like this to toy with me too."

"The person above has issues. Wouldn't it be better to have a little sister like this?"

"I think you're both problematic."

Looking at the positive comments left by readers in the comments and discussion sections, Bai He couldn't help but feel elated, and her motivation and efficiency for writing increased considerably.

For an author, nothing is more delightful than receiving readers' approval.

However, this was currently equivalent to only writing an opening. A good opening can lure readers in, but what truly determines whether readers can be retained depends on the subsequent quality.

But a good beginning is half the battle. With this current good start, Bai He was full of confidence about this novel's future.

Today was the end of the world.

Of course, this was only Xifeng's unilateral opinion. As for the reason...

"...Mission Objective: Make Her Climax Three Times: 1/3.

Mission time limit: 23 hours 23 minutes 33 seconds."

After finishing dinner, Bei Yaoyue directly went into the bedroom as usual, only leaving her with the words "Remember to finish that Chinese test paper today and show it to me."

"Bang!"

Xifeng banged her head against the table, her forehead colliding with the table producing a loud crash. The intense pain made tears instantly well up in her eyes.

But she had no time to care about pain at the moment. Only three words kept circling in her mind—what to do?

What to do, what to do, what to do!?

Only one day left, the mission time was running out ahhhhhhh!

She didn't know if it was a sudden attack of conscience or what, but Bei Yaoyue had been particularly well-behaved these past few days. She was obedient at school, and once home, she would hole up in her room in isolation, not even touching her once.

It seemed Bei Yaoyue was gentlemanly honoring their previous agreement—namely "respecting Xifeng's choice." If Xifeng said no, then no it was, and she wouldn't do anything inappropriate at all.

Why was this idiot always particularly well-behaved when she shouldn't be!?

In that case, there was really only one option...

Despair.

Slowly sitting up, Xifeng rubbed her aching forehead and slumped back in the chair.

As Xifeng made this choice in her heart, the light in her eyes dimmed considerably, like a broken puppet.

In a daze, she finished washing the dishes and returned to her room, opening her computer browser, setting up a VPN, and entering the URL of a website she hadn't visited since becoming a girl—○○○○hub.

When she was still Jiang Feng, she would occasionally use this website to view certain unspeakable things, but after becoming a girl, she no longer had such needs and had almost forgotten about this website.

Revisiting this old haunt, Xifeng's mindset was completely different from before. Previously, she had viewed it for entertainment purposes, but now it was for... learning.

That's right, learning. She clearly remembered that in her bookmarks folder was an instructional video on how to use one's tongue to please a female partner. Before, she had only glanced at it before tossing it into the bookmarks to gather dust—because it was useless—but now it was time for it to come in handy.

Xifeng couldn't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of life and the many changes in worldly affairs.

She was still herself, but she was no longer herself.

Recalling how she used to frequently watch yuri films on this site, Xifeng suddenly remembered a line of modern poetry that was very fitting—"When first hearing, I didn't understand the song's meaning; when listening again, I am already a person in the song."

...Disgusting.

If possible, Xifeng really didn't want to become a person in the song.

That night.

"This line art is overall excellent. Teacher Hana ni Kaze's standards are indeed trustworthy. However, there are still some small areas that need improvement. The core issue is that the chest needs to be drawn larger."

Furrowing her brows, Bei Yaoyue typed with some displeasure: "It's basically already at maximum size. Since this is a swimsuit, if the chest continues to increase, the swimsuit will find it very difficult to restrain it according to normal physical laws. This would make the final human proportions and composition look very awkward."

This one breast was already bigger than the head, and they still wanted to continue increasing it...?

"I can understand your difficulties, Teacher. You surely don't want to produce low-quality work. But players like it—the more lewd the illustration, the more people will pay for it. For swimsuit skins that showcase the figure, naturally the chest should be as large as possible within human limits."

For a moment speechless, Bei Yaoyue couldn't understand what was wrong with Azur Lane players' preferences. What was wrong with flat chests?

Bei Yaoyue was certain that if she were an Azur Lane player, she wouldn't buy a single skin except for flat-chested lolis.

"Moreover, Teacher, you should think clearly. Our contract with you is profit-sharing. In the future, during this skin's first limited-time release period, five percent of the revenue generated through this skin will belong to you. The more people buy it, the higher your profit. I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with money, right?"

Five percent seemed like a small proportion, but when the base amount reached seven or even eight figures, the resulting profit would be a terrifying number.

The other party was obviously using profit to threaten... or rather, persuade her.

Bei Yaoyue pondered for a long time, and finally could only reluctantly agree to this request: "Fine then. It's already late now. I'll finish modifying the line art tomorrow and send it to you for review."

"Teacher Hana ni Kaze is truly a reasonable person. It's been a pleasure working with you."

Closing QQ, Bei Yaoyue felt somewhat tired. It wasn't that she really cared about that bit of money. To put it bluntly, this detail might affect a few hundred thousand in revenue at most, which would amount to five figures for her—an almost negligible amount.

But unfortunately, they were the client. If they got angry and backed out of the deal, they would only need to pay a few thousand yuan in penalty fees to escape, and all her efforts over the past few days would be wasted. Weighing the options, she chose to compromise. After all, it wasn't like drawing men, which would touch her bottom line.

"Knock knock knock."

Suddenly, there came a knocking sound from the door.

"Are you asleep?"

Then came Xifeng's voice, though compared to usual, it sounded somewhat strange.
