I will never give in to Miss Death

On June 2022, 6, 5 days after the first arrival of "that", my second period... finally came.

Compared to the first time, it may be because I prepared in advance, rested on time, ate on time, exercised on time, and was not as busy as I was in May, which made me tired all day. Or it may be because I have been drinking dragon milk to replenish energy these days, so this period is relatively easier.

Apart from vaguely feeling some discomfort in my lower abdomen and a little fatigue, my body did not have any obvious reaction and the amount was very small.

However, considering that this was the first day of my period, I asked Ouyang Xue for leave early in the morning and put on a sanitary napkin inside my panties.

There are no statutory holidays in June, so Yin Xiamo, Lan Jiajia and I, as well as all the maids and employees working in the cafe, have eight days off to use freely.

Considering the situation of my last menstrual period, I directly asked for three days of vacation. I planned to use these three days to have a good rest at home, write some articles, and relax.

After all...I am responsible for the customers who dine in my restaurant.

Girls are very cute and their bodies are very fragile. From my own experience, even if I used to be a macho man, my mind became much more delicate after becoming a girl. Many times, the way I think about problems also starts to become "feminine", becoming emotional and childish.

Boys are rational, generally strong and convenient for work, but they eat a lot, their perception of the "world" is not as good as girls, and they do not get enough feedback in the current society as girls.

I am not an expert in gender issues, but at least based on my own experience so far, I think both have their pros and cons.

Boys living alone don't need to think about too many things. Most things can be solved by themselves. For example, when buying vegetables or furniture, they can move them home and install them by themselves. When they get home from work, they can just take a shower and put on shorts. If they like to smoke, they can have a cigarette. If they like to drink, they can have a drink. After playing a few games, they can go to bed. The next day, they can jump out of bed without any care, throw the quilt casually, and it's a new day.

The most important thing for men is "reality", which can be described figuratively as the difference between a desktop computer and a laptop computer. Desktop computers are large in size, good at everything, have good CPU heat dissipation, can be overclocked at will, have a powerful graphics card, and maintain high power throughout the entire process, while girls are a bit like laptops. If you have very professional needs, such as playing large games or doing complex rendering, the laptop will easily overheat and throttle, so for real practicality, you still have to look at desktop computers.

But...the laptop is small and flexible, you can carry it with you and work anywhere, which is its advantage.

Just like I don’t have enough strength to move the 12900k+3090ti computer in the room that Jiang Wei gave me. Although its body is made of very lightweight materials, the overall weight is still kilograms, which is almost as heavy as me. I can’t hold it by myself. It would be a headache if I live alone. When Sister Ye Zi brought those accessories here, she also carried a large bag to put the parts in it, and held two bags in both hands, and finally assembled it.

In this case, if I go to buy the computer myself, after paying the money I will definitely have to spend money to have someone deliver it to my door. If there is a desk, I will have to ask them to help me move the computer desk. This is a disadvantage of girls' lack of strength.

Similar situations can be applied to all aspects of life. For example, if the light on the ceiling of the bathroom is broken, I can't reach it even if I move a stool. I can only call and pay someone to come and change the bulb or repair the line.

But men don’t have this worry. If the light bulb in the bathroom is broken, they can go to the hardware store downstairs and buy a power-off switch and install it themselves. When they buy a computer and it arrives, they can just carry it to the computer desk when they move into the house. When they buy furniture or appliances, they don’t need to click the button for installation service, they can do it by themselves.

The advantage of girls is... they can wear all kinds of beautiful clothes, they have sensitive senses, delicate minds, and richer "feelings" of the world than men, just like when you choose low or high picture quality when playing games, girls are in high-quality mode, the comfort of water splashing on the skin when taking a shower and the refreshing feeling after taking a shower, the pleasure of wearing beautiful clothes to go out, the cool feeling of being blown by the breeze... these "psychological" feelings are clearer than men, while men are in "low picture quality" and "high refresh" rate mode, and when faced with tasks that require a lot of graphics cards, men can exert more powerful power.

At least for me personally, I like to see the world with a girl's eyes and feel the outside world with a girl's body.

After all, there is no war in our country at present, and social conflicts are not that intense.

Some people like to watch the scenery in the game, enjoy the grass and trees in the virtual world, enjoy the gorgeous scenery in the game, and don’t care whether they can pass the level or not, and the equipment is up to fate. But some people don’t care about the scenery or various special effects in the game at all, and all they want in their minds is... higher, faster, stronger.

In the card-drawing game, some people focus on the appearance and personality of the character. They will draw if they are pretty and cute, and it doesn't matter whether they are strong or not. Some people only look at the strength. They will draw if the skills are strong. It doesn't matter whether your character looks like a grandmother who has lived for thousands of years or a lolita jumping around everywhere. Anyway, I will draw if you have high damage.

Precisely because I have basically experienced and understood the differences between men and women this month, I decided to ask Ouyang Xue for three days off in one go.

Although girls can theoretically work normally during their menstrual period, if they want to wear that and a maid outfit, they have to wear safety pants, which greatly affects their work. After all, I need to run around, and when I am particularly busy, I may not be able to rest for three or four hours in a row. I am tired and sweaty, and I don’t have time to go to the bathroom to change pants.

The most important thing is that my mood fluctuates greatly during my period, and I am particularly susceptible to emotional influences.

Even though I know this is a normal psychological phenomenon, sometimes a small grievance will be magnified infinitely, and then my mood will be particularly bad. I don’t want to have such emotions when serving customers, nor do I want customers to spend money but not enjoy the service they deserve, so I just take a leave of absence and spend this period at home.

It just so happens that these few days I also need to complete the contract with Miguabao and the new book coordination task with the editor of Maomint, so it would be best to handle it together.

【Please turn your face towards the camera】

[Please blink]

[Please look to the left...Look to the right]

[Face recognition passed, identity confirmed]

Following the editor's request, I signed my name and pseudonym in three different areas of the contract. After passing the facial recognition, I took a screenshot of the "Signing Completed" page and sent it to Catmint.

[OK, the contract has been approved. Your author account will have a contract certification label in about three working days.]

[Pay attention to keep updating. My suggestion is to update at least twice a day. You are a new author and do not have the bonus of old readers. If you are not more diligent than others in updating, you will have no advantage.]

That morning, I got up early as usual, washed and had breakfast, put a sanitary napkin in my underwear, and then started my routine of saving manuscripts and writing.

My previous old book of more than two million words has been completed, and the completion reward is estimated to be around 500 yuan. The new book has only a few tens of thousands of words, and most readers are just reading it for fun. In addition, the editor said that the follow-up reading is too poor, so I had no choice but to choose to stop and started this new book in the yuri category - "After I became a Lolita, I Sticked Together in a World Full of Girls".

The document previously sent by Editor Rabbit mentioned the naming rules for novel authors in this era: If you are not a super-big author who has a huge following and hundreds of thousands of readers will buy whatever you write, you must write books according to the current mainstream and routine. If you really can't accept it, at least the title of the book should be "conspicuous."

Rabbit specifically points out what constitutes a "conspicuous" book title in the guidance document.

Either you choose a title that follows the current mainstream titles, such as "Is there a possibility that I am the most invincible one" or "My girlfriend wants to break up, so I mastered the divine art of sealing the sky", and then create an explosive conflict at the beginning, and the excitement starts in the second chapter, or you choose a title that makes people read for a long time and think, "What kind of sad book title is this? I want to click in and take a look."

Simply put, it means luring readers in at all costs, even if it is a clickbait title.

I don’t really want to be a clickbait title, so I chose a more “moderate” name.

After a few days, the number of clicks and collections for this book increased rapidly, probably because of its decent name - at least much faster than those of my previous novels featuring righteous and passionate male protagonists.

The editor of Catmint also said that this book has a high level of backstage reading, which shows that it has potential.

[Also, how are you thinking about the dubbing thing I mentioned to you before? Do you want to give it a try? ]

In the room where I only had a small fan on because of my period, I looked at the edited words on the computer screen, thought for a moment, and replied: [Then I'll try it, I'll send the recorded audio file over later]

The "dubbing" that the catnip editor mentioned refers to the voice test of the virtual image "Melon Girl" in the new website "Yae Melon Bag" after the merger. They asked me to recite the lines they sent over and let the editor-in-chief and others listen to it and see if I am suitable for this role.

In fact, even if I don’t take the test, I basically know the ending...

I opened the desktop browser in front of the computer, opened Tongmeng.com, logged into my account, and found the "Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe Official Account" operated by Ouyang Xue.

Some of the lines that Ouyang Xue asked me to read before have been used in the new promotional PV.

In the new coffee shop promotional video, you can see that I am still the center of attention as the coffee shop’s “signature maid”, and because I am the one doing the dubbing this time, the video has been greatly improved in terms of editing and content.

At the beginning of the video, there are a few "crunch", "crunch", "hey" and "puff" sounds similar to a rabbit eating food, with a strong ASMR flavor. Then the scene moves to the cats' living area, and I appear to be holding a few ragdoll cats.

Then, there was the scene where the cat jumped out of my arms and I chased after it to feed it.

The overall style of the new promotional PV is light, concise and clear. Yin Xiamo and I look very cute in maid outfits, and Ouyang Xue also deliberately added a layer of cute filters and dynamic effects, such as adding a pair of cat ears on my head, and adding some glittering special effects around Yin Xiamo's body when the camera was on her, making the video, which was already full of the girly citrus scent, even more lily-like.

In the new video, Ouyang Xue also introduced the new maid, Philo.

[A giant dragon from another world, a new employee of the coffee shop, Miss Black Dragon, Filo. ]

In the picture, a frame is drawn around Filo who jumped down from the second floor, and then there is a black background and text introduction. The overall style is somewhat similar to the "character portrait" in the card drawing game, and Filo's portrait is a black and gold SSR.

[Filo can use her dexterous hands to make the most exquisite milk tea in the world. Her movements are like dancing. Anyone who sees her will suffer huge magical damage.]

[As a giant dragon, Filo naturally has his own specialties...]

It is not difficult to see from the comments on Tongmeng.com that everyone is very excited about Philo's arrival. As long as there are scenes with Philo and me, the comments are very thick, almost all of them are "crazy" -

【I am Miss Philo's dog! 】

[It’s a new maid! And she has big breasts! I’m dead! ]

[Roaring, crawling, attacking indiscriminately, twitching...]

[Isn't this cafe of yours too unfair? If it weren't for the beauty filter, I'd really be curious if there really is a gate to another world around you.]

Like the barrage, most people in the comment section were also discussing Filo, the "baby-faced but very sexy" maid, and it even became a hot search on Tongmeng.com.

[New member of Shangjing Maid Cat Cafe, Filo]

After flipping through the comments, I found that the most liked comment under this new promotional video is:

[I have always been a cloud customer of this store. I usually just watch the live camera and the cats when I am bored. I can’t help this Filo maid. I will buy a train ticket to Kamihama tomorrow.]

Then the second comment that received the likes was:

[First of all, I am not obsessed with big breasts. Secondly, I am not obsessed with lolita. Finally, this is my favorite episode.]

It can be seen that everyone is very curious about Philo's figure and appearance. After all, she not only has excellent looks, but also a unique voice and an amazing figure.

Generally, this kind of figure can only appear in anime, such as Ilulu in "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid", and Tongmeng.com is a website with a high concentration of 2D otakus...

"Noel!"

I just clicked on the details page of the comment area and planned to take a good look at what the public was saying about us when I heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind me. Then Yin Xiamo, dressed in casual clothes, walked in: "Do you want to go out and play?"

"I'm not feeling well today."

I turned around and smiled bitterly: "It's not like you don't know."

Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I took three days off, or rather, I used up three days of this month's eight-day leave in advance, to prepare for the girls' special menstrual leave. Philo was addicted to hearing all kinds of praises for making milk tea in the coffee shop, and Ouyang Xue received unprecedented praise in her new promotional video, so she will work in the coffee shop these days, using the same "double time" system as us, and needs to work from eight in the morning to eight in the evening.

If we don’t count the mysterious “cyberpunk” style experimental underground base in the basement of the coffee shop, the coffee shop’s current maid allocation work is actually very complete.

If Yin Xiamo and I need to take leave, we only need to rest for eight days in a month and they will not overlap with Lan Jiajia's. We can just follow the principle of "I rest while Lan Jiajia works, and when Lan Jiajia rests, Xiaomo and I are in the store". In this way, customers who come to the coffee shop can choose whether to be served by a "Lolita girl" or a "mature big sister" according to our schedule.

But because Lan Jiajia applied for an "eight-hour a day" job, which only runs from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon, if Xiaomo and I take a break and Lan Jiajia goes back at four, Ouyang Xue will be particularly busy during the four-hour dinner rush from four to eight, and she basically has to ask Li Chen to come over to help.

But Li Chen is a grown man after all, and he is incompatible with the two-dimensional style and maid elements of the store. If this continues, not only will Li Chen be unhappy about working overtime every day, but customers who don't see the maids in the store will also have opinions, which is a big test for the reputation of the coffee shop.

Now with Filo helping to share the burden, the situation in the store is much better - in fact, it doesn't matter if Filo is in the store 24 hours a day. She is a giant dragon and can work and rest like a cat. Moreover, she has a dragon mind and mental strength, which is more than enough to handle this intensity of work. When there are no customers, if Filo simply cleans the room, it is almost equivalent to taking a rest.

"That's why we want to go out and play."

After hearing what I said, Yin Xiamo smiled slightly, moved closer behind me, and held my shoulders with both hands and began to massage them: "After spending so many days together, what do you think of this child, Filo?"

"This child?"

I turned around: "Sure enough, Xiaomo is older than her."

"But my real age is over 6,000 years old."

The girl behind him shrugged: "Filo is more than 7,000 years old."

"Filo said that you learned the magic that can increase time. One day for others is equivalent to two or even three days for you."

I put on a "don't try to fool me" expression: "Even if it's only twice the time difference, Xiaomo is at least more than 10,000 years old!"

"It's not polite to ask a girl's age, especially since that's my real age."

Yin Xiamo continued in a relaxed tone: "Even if he is really tens of thousands of years old, it has nothing to do with me. Now I am just a beautiful girl who has just come of age."

"A beautiful girl of 17 years and a few hundred thousand months, right?"

I was amused by this guy's serious look: "Okay, then I won't ask, where are you going to play today?"

Yin Xiamo didn't answer my question directly, but pointed at my computer screen and said, "Xiaomo, how is your lesbian novel going?"

"pretty good."

I switched to the novel interface: "Maomint said that the readership is very high, but I need to maintain at least 4000 words per day to maintain stability."

"then you……"

Yin Xiamo felt a little distressed: "Won't you be very tired?"

"It's about the same time."

I stood up from my computer chair and stretched. "I should be able to write 4000 words every night and save some manuscripts on weekends to deal with the burst of updates."

Now I have basically adapted to the body and hands of a girl, and the feel of typing is not as unfamiliar as before. I can basically write about 2,000 words in an hour, and if I have good inspiration, I can even write 2,500 words in an hour.

In this way, it only takes about one hour and forty minutes to write 4,000 words.

Normally, Yin Xiamo and I can get off work at 4000:11, pack up simply, go to Nannai Tower at 12: or : to chat and relax, and come back at :. With Xiaomo, the efficient transportation girl, we can get home at :, take a shower, and write words at around :, so going to bed at : is not a problem at all.

Of course, this way I won’t have any extra time to do chores like washing clothes or tidying the house, so I’ll have to leave it to Xiaomo.

When it’s my day off, I’ll write more and save some manuscripts for backup. There will be no problem updating 4000 words a day.

"That's it..."

Yin Xiamo thought thoughtfully: "Are you going to write about daily life in this novel?"

"Ah."

For some reason, when I heard Xiaomo say this, my mind suddenly flashed back to what the Grim Reaper said when we first met after reading my novel -

[The beginning is long-winded, the sense of anticipation is not built up, and the outline is also incomprehensible. You wrote a shitty novel. Even a chicken can write better than you if I sprinkle rice on the keyboard.]

The Grim Reaper at that time... should be Xiaomo's real body, right? He was particularly fierce.

"Pure love?"

Seeing that I was stunned, Yin Xiamo asked again: "Aren't you planning to start a harem?"

"Of course it's pure love!"

I came back to my senses: "This novel is... most of the plot is based on our experiences during this period, how could it be possible to write about a harem..."

"Drip drip drip..."

As he was talking, a message from Catnip popped up in the lower right corner of the computer:

[Nuo'er, is your book going to be a pure love story or a harem story? ]

Why even the editor asked this...
