Mai Ge smiled and nodded at the two of them before riding off. What could he do? He was completely helpless against his daughter's innate talent.
Antoine and Arnold exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly. Mai Ge's status must be extraordinary to have received Principal Norvan's pass and to be so highly regarded by Haider. He must belong to the Chaos Academy.
They'd been gatekeepers at Chaos Academy for years, and had seen all sorts of mischievous students, but this little student who immediately gave them two nicknames after just a greeting were truly...rare.
Mai Ge didn't rush back to Aden Square on his bicycle, but instead rode out along the long street of Chaos Academy.
Although he'd had a rather miserable life these past few years, but Mai Ge • Alex was still quite familiar with Chaos City, so he decided to go somewhere based on his memory.
Although the Chaos City has eight gates, but it is actually a square city with two straight streets running horizontally and vertically through the entire city, dividing it into nine areas in a 'well (井)' shape.
Aden Square occupies the central area in the due south direction. To its right is Chaos Academy. Apart from Chaos Academy, this area is mostly inhabited by teachers and their families, or people engaged in writing and cultural work. It is considered a relatively concentrated area of intellectuals in Chaos City.
To the left of Aden Square lies the infamous Basti Prison of the Chaos City. Occupying an entire area, it is one of the most famous prisons on the entire Nolan Continent. Besides being known as the most difficult prison to conquer, its most unique feature is probably that it houses prisoners of all races.
This prison was established at the very beginning of the Chaos City. The peace agreement was signed in the Chaos City, which brought an end to the racial war that had lasted for thousands of years. The continent was divided into eight parts, thus beginning a new chapter of relative peace.
At the same time, those who had committed indiscriminate and inhumane acts during the war were tried and imprisoned in Basti Prison.
The prison was built with contributions from all races, bringing together the best craftsmen and engineers to build it. Most of the buildings are located tens or even hundreds of meters underground.
The prison's guardians possess immense power, reportedly capable of withstanding the impact of a giant dragon battle formation of ten giant dragons, their defenses are truly impregnable.
Chaos City can be said to have been planned and built on the basis of Basti Prison. This is why there is no exit next to Mai Ge's house, because the high walls of Basti Prison are only ten meters away, and behind several layers of high walls is the prison built underground.
Some long-lived prisoners are still in their prime even after a hundred years. Occasionally, there are rumors of prisoners storming the prison. However, no prisoner has been released from Basti Prison in the past hundred years, which adds to the legendary nature of Basti Prison.
Mai Ge was heading to the neighborhood behind Aden Square, the heart of the entire Chaos City and considered the safest place in the city. To the left was the Gray Temple, to the right was the city lord's neighborhood, and to the north was the Chaos City garrison, a prime location for the wealthy, where only the rich and powerful resided.
Mai Ge rode his bicycle along the wide avenue, and after seeing some magnificent buildings in the distance, he turned into a side alley.
"System, get me some disguise props. I want to change my appearance." Mai Ge thought to himself as he stopped the bicycle.
"This system…"
"I'll pay in cash." Mai Ge impatiently pulled out a money pouch.
"This system can provide the host with a variety of disguise options. The prices range from low to high according to the difficulty: 1. Ordinary disguise - 2 gold coins; 2. Disguise + ordinary makeup - 4 gold coins; 3. Disguise + advanced makeup - 6 gold coins; 4. Women's clothing - 10 gold coins. Which one would you like to choose, host?" The system's voice suddenly became cheerful.
"This system strongly recommends Option Four. This system will provide the host with thousands of sets of women's clothing to choose from, and will also give the host one free makeup session, one free trial of a wig and high-end jewelry, plus 1 gold coin, and one free trial of a real-time voice changer. 10 gold coins can be used to permanently unlock it." The system continued to recommend.
"What the hell is this cross-dressing?! System, aren't you supposed to be a legitimate system?!" Mai Ge nearly jumped up, glaring at it.
"Host, please don't look down on women's clothing. From the perspective of disguise, changing your personality is the best way to perfectly hide all your traces. No one would ever think that a sexy and alluring succubus is actually a restaurant owner. Doesn't that sound incredibly exciting?" the system said solemnly.
"You're kidding me!" Mai Ge scoffed. This system was getting more and more unreliable.
"Cross-dressing? No way. Unless you give me another set of physical fitness points, or 50,000 gold coins, you think you can trick me into cross-dressing like that?" But Mai Ge quickly regained his composure.
"This system is merely offering suggestions, host, you can make your own choices." The system immediately shut up obediently.
"What level of 'advanced makeup' is that?" Mai Ge asked, looking at the package.
"Advanced makeup refers to applying makeup to the host's entire body. The host can choose their age, identity, and gender. This system will apply the most appropriate makeup to you based on your requirements, making you more in line with your identity and age, and ensuring that no one can tell from your appearance." the system's voice announced.
"And what about ordinary makeup?" Mai Ge asked again.
"Ordinary makeup is just... putting on two fake eyebrows, two fake mustaches, and applying a little white powder to the face, and that's it." the system replied.
"It's pretty ordinary." Mai Ge nodded thoughtfully, then decisively said, "Then I'll choose package 3. My identity is a bard, a human male, sixty years old, that's it."
"Ding! 6 gold coins have been deducted. Clothes are being customized and will arrive in three minutes." The system's voice sounded.
Mai Ge felt his wallet was noticeably lighter, but since he had some business to attend to today, it was best to be cautious.
"By the way, System, could you please put my bicycle away for me? I'd be really upset if it got stolen." Mai Ge looked at the bicycle beside him and asked again. Of course, he couldn't ride the only bicycle in the whole city. Otherwise, why would he bother with the disguise? Even the most obvious attempt to hide something wouldn't have the same effect.
"This system provides parking services. Bicycles cost 20 copper coins per hour. After one hour, the charge is 1 copper coin per minute. Host, are you sure you need this service?" the system's voice announced.
