An invincible journey starting from a different race

After the auction, Stank, filled with anger, rushed into the food and wine booth and pointed at Aesop's nose and shouted.

"You bastard! How dare you actually sell my private pornographic pictures!"

After saying this, Stank felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was for a moment.

"Ahem, Stank." Gan Qiu reminded in time, "You'd better keep your voice down. There are people watching next to you."

Stark looked around and noticed that the customers around him were looking at him with surprise, as if wondering what a man's private pornographic pictures were. This instantly made Stark wilted. He had already been embarrassed enough at the auction, and he didn't want to embarrass himself again here. He immediately sat down and shouted at Aesop in a low voice.

"Do you want to die?"

"No, I still want to live." Aesop said, "I don't want to do this, but isn't this what you lost to me?"

"I lost to you?" Stank said. "Why don't I remember? When?"

"That's when you wanted to bet with me on who could stay in the ice pool longer." Aesop reminded him, "You didn't freeze and lose your memory, did you?"

Stank was slightly startled. After Aesop's reminder, he finally remembered...it seemed that this was indeed the case.

TMD, I really forgot.

Of course, this couldn't be blamed on his poor memory; it was simply because so many upsetting things had happened in those few days, one after another, that Stank had overlooked this particular incident among them. It had seemed insignificant at the time, but only when it actually happened did he realize how truly awful it was.

"But are you really going to sell it?!" Stank still glared at Aesop, "Can't you be joking?!"

Aesop said seriously: "I always keep my word to my brothers."

"Do you really need to be so strict in a place like this? Huh?! Is it really necessary to be so good in a place like this?!" Stank pointed at Aesop and said, "Besides, although I agreed to let you sell it, I didn't agree to let you use my name!"

"But you didn't say you disagree."

"Just because you didn't say you disagree, does that mean you agree?!" Stank said angrily.

"So if you don't say you agree, does that mean you don't agree?" Aesop asked back.

Seeing that Stank was about to explode with anger, Aesop comforted him, "How about this? Next time I sell it, I'll change the title of the painting to 'This is Not Stank'. What do you think?"

"Do you think I'm an idiot, or do you think everyone else is an idiot?" Stank said. "And you fucking want to do it again?! Do you think it's possible?!"

Watching the two quarreling, Gan Qiu asked curiously, "What kind of painting is this? I don't know it. Let me see it."

Aesop said, "It was the painting I was drawing when you came back that day. You must have remembered it. You even commented on it."

"Oh, that one." Gan Qiu became excited. "It's that Yuanqi sister. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Didn't we make a bet? As long as you don't go find the Snow Girl, then that little..."

"No problem." Aesop pointed at Stank. "If you want to see him, all you have to do is go to a sex change shop with Stank."

Gan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while. He looked at Stank with horror and said, "You are the energetic sister?!"

Stank got even more furious: "Who the hell are you calling Yuanqi sister?"

As a result, Stank's conflict with Aesop instantly shifted to Ganqiu. After some "friendly" theories and a heated discussion about gender and XP, the two fell exhausted on the table.

"Oh my energetic sister!" Gan Qiu wailed.

"My lifelong reputation!" Stank also wailed.

At this moment, Jer returned to the food and wine pavilion carrying a large bag of gold coins. After glancing at the two people who seemed to have lost hope in life, he put the gold coins on the table with a "bang".

"Here, Aesop, this is your share." Jer's expression was odd. "Your album was successfully auctioned off for a high price of 11000 coins. After deducting the handling fee, there's still gold left."

Gan Qiu immediately raised his head and said in surprise, "The female version of Stank actually sold for 10,000 gold?! Is this true?"

"Of course it's real. The money's all here, how could it be fake?" Jer looked at the dejected Stank, thought for a moment, and comforted him, "Stank, you don't have to feel too bad. Think about it, if you're so attractive after your gender change, doesn't that mean you're also... uh, forget what I said."

Under the gaze of Stank's death eyes, Jer simply shut his mouth.

"Ten thousand gold! That's ten thousand gold!" Gan Qiu ran over, picked up the gold bag, and weighed it. Finding it was indeed heavy enough, he was even more shocked. "How many review guides do we have to write to earn that much? Who on earth would buy this?"

"It was bought by a collector who is quite knowledgeable about paintings," Jer said. "When I gave it to him, he also commented on it. Would you like to hear it?"

Everyone nodded except Stank.

"According to him, the paintings were exceptional in terms of artistry alone, even rivaling those of famous artists. The reason no one offered a high price at first was simply because they were too rough as works of art, and too expensive as rough drawings," said Jer, recalling the collector's comments. "But when he understood the spiritual core of these paintings, he realized they weren't just rough drawings; they were works of art!"

"Uh." Gan Qiu scratched his head. "Where is the art here?"

"The art is here. It vividly depicts a woman... oh no, to be more precise, a man's experience after becoming a woman." Jer glanced at Stank, and after making sure Stank wouldn't go berserk, he continued with peace of mind. "The collector said that the average woman can only convey two emotions in her eyes, not more than two. But the Stank in this painting... well, those eyes reveal four or five emotions, like refusal, shyness, anticipation, and so on..."

"How the hell do I have so many weird emotions?!" Stank slammed the table. "I'm just angry! Angry! And angry!"

"Ah, yes." Jer nodded. "The collector did say that. After tasting it carefully, he found that there was also anger."

Stank: "..."

No, Stank, the more times like this, the more you need to stay calm!

Stank kept reminding himself in his heart.

You have to know that the more excited you are and the more you show that you care, the more excited they will be and the more they will cheer.

In times like these, you have to act completely indifferent, like Aesop with a thick skin. Think about who's the most unwelcome person in the world? A corpse! Smelly and unresponsive, no one would want to marry one!

With such determination, Stank turned his head and snorted coldly: "Ha, I don't care about this kind of thing. Do whatever you want. If you take it seriously, I will lose."

After hearing what he said, the remaining three people looked at each other, and couldn't help but wonder if the effect of Stank's medicine had not yet worn off.

"If it really doesn't matter..." Gan Qiu asked, "then can you go to the gender reassignment shop again, have Aesop draw it again, and then sell it for money?"

"Do you really want to die?" Stank's defense was instantly broken. "Want to do it again?!"

The psychological preparation that had just begun lasted less than half a minute, which made them feel a little relieved, knowing that the effect of Stank's medicine had worn off.

But Gan Qiu wasn't just interested in testing the efficacy of the drug; he was genuinely thinking about it. "That's a lucrative deal, Stank! Wouldn't it be faster to make money than honestly writing a review guide? That's 10,000 gold!"

"Do you think I'm someone who would give in for money?" Stank glared at Gan Qiu.

Gan Qiu was shocked: "Isn't it?"

"You fucking..."

"Think about it, Stank." Before Stank could lose his temper again, Gan Qiu spoke again, betting on his mouth, "Hasn't our expenses been quite high recently? And we haven't been going on many missions or taking on many commissions."

"Then why don't we just go and take the commission?"

"But what is the purpose of accepting the commission?"

"Make money."

Gan Qiu said, "Is there anything more profitable than this?"

Stank was stunned for a moment before he said, "It's not just about making money, it's also about the thrilling adventure."

"Why, isn't it exciting to become a woman?" Gan Qiu shouted, "Is there anything more exciting than this?"

"Get the fuck out of here!" Stank glared at Gan Qiu. "Is becoming a woman really that exciting? It's not interesting at all."

"real or fake?"

"of course it's true."

"So..." Gan Qiu paused, then continued, "Since becoming a woman is completely unexciting and uninteresting, then can't we just do it casually? Then what are you still hesitating about?"

The more Stank listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Why do I feel like you're kidding me?"

Gan Qiu snapped his fingers. "I think this proposal is good. What do you think, Aesop? This energetic girl being trained by a halfling is actually a real man at heart. I think this drawing will be a big hit. By then, not only will Stank's eyes tell a story, I can definitely make his whole body tell a story!"

"You're sick! Are you looking for death?" Stank said. "Then why don't you become a woman?!"

"This... is for making money, so it's not impossible." Gan Qiu said seriously, "The halfling who was originally a man turned into a woman and then severely trained the energetic girl who was originally a man but turned into a woman."

Stank was almost dizzy.

"Furthermore, this raises a very philosophical question." Gan Qiu raised a finger and said seriously, "Is the title of this painting 'Why Do Men Make Things Difficult for Others' or 'Why Do Women Make Things Difficult for Others'?"

206 Black Silk Cow Orc

No matter how much Gan Qiu persuaded him, Stank was unwilling to go to the gender reassignment shop again and transform into the energetic girl Stank to make money.

Even though Ganqiu had made it perfectly clear that Stank, transformed into the energetic girl Stank-chan, was selling his body for money so he could use the money to buy other bodies, wasn't that a logical loop? It was a perfect positive cycle. Unfortunately, Stank refused to budge, threatening to turn Ganqiu into a soldier without testicles if he continued to talk nonsense. This left Ganqiu with no other options... because he simply couldn't beat Stank.

And then again, forcing a brother to engage in lesbian activities is...

That's not right. Forcing brothers to change genders and then engage in lesbianism, is it considered lesbianism or gayism?

Ah, philosophical questions are really pouring up like diarrhea. If this continues, Gan Qiu feels that he is about to become a philosopher.

Aesop wasn't particularly interested in Gan Qiu's eager attempt at a gender change; he'd always tried something once and never wanted to repeat it. Besides, he'd already made some money, and the ten thousand gold coins would be more than enough to start his journey to the snowfields.

So Aesop felt it was time to go to the snowfield. After returning from the volcano, the power of the curse had been bothering him, and he had not experienced the kind of exciting and real battle for a long time. He could only stay in the room and play with toys every day, which was not acceptable.

During the period of being cursed, Aesop could only hone his skills through Nolen, and now he has already advanced from the initial 100th level of Qiu's power to the 500th level of Qiu's power.

Aesop believed that his strength was extremely rare in the entire Dream Demon Town.

It's time to let those ungrateful nightmares see if his sword is sharp enough.

Thinking of this, Aesop couldn't help but look at Ganqiu. The look he gave Ganqiu was full of pity, disdain and contempt of the strong for the weak.

Gan Qiu shuddered involuntarily. As a thief, he was very sensitive and immediately turned around and looked at Aesop. He also read that emotion from Aesop's eyes.

"Asshole Aesop, why are you looking at me like that?!"

"No." Aesop naturally shook his head in denial, then turned his head to the other side, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What the hell were you thinking?!"

"Not thinking about anything."

"You're not thinking of anything! Do you think I'm an idiot?" Gan Qiu waved his fist angrily. "There's been something wrong with your eyes since a while ago. You've been laughing, and you're still laughing now. What the hell are you laughing at, you bastard?"

"You misunderstood." Aesop said, "I just love to laugh, hehehe."

"Hey your mother!"

Gan Qiu felt deeply insulted, but he couldn't find any evidence. He could only keep it in mind, thinking that time flies, and that youth is fleeting.

"So who are you going with this time?" Jer asked Aesop, "Let me make it clear first, I can't go with you this time."

"Hmm?" Aesop asked, "Why?"

"I can't stand that kind of low temperature." Jer sighed and said, "Elves are very sensitive to all senses, especially low temperatures. You should understand it from the fact that I spent the shortest time in the pool last time..."

“Isn’t Ganqiu the shortest?”

Gan Qiu, upon detecting the key words, immediately jumped up like a spring: "You're the shortest, your whole family is the shortest!"

Aesop said, "You misunderstood. I meant that you spent the shortest time in the pool, not anything else."

"Is that so?" Gan Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's more like it... Hmm? What do you mean by that other thing?! You really think so, don't you? You admit it again!"

Aesop ignored Gan Qiu and turned his gaze to Stank and asked, "Stank, are you going?"

Stank immediately refused: "I'm not going."

He had fully realized that all the misfortunes he had experienced during this period were caused by Aesop, meaning that Aesop was the root of his misfortune. Staying with Aesop would only drain his luck. So this time, Stank was determined to reject Aesop's invitation.

"Are you really not going?" Aesop asked.

"Of course I won't go." Stank crossed his arms and said, "You can't convince me."

"Then don't you feel bad about it?"

"Loss?" Stank was puzzled. "What's the loss?"

"You're losing money on this." Aesop pointed at the ten thousand gold on the table. "Didn't we earn this together? You're not even going to use the money you earned for the event? Don't you think that's weird?"

"What's so strange about this?"

At this time, Gan Qiu jumped out again and shouted, "Oh, I understand, I understand. This kind of plot often appears in the Demon Shadow. A nightmare works hard to make money, but does not spend it on himself, but donates it to the church's elderly and left-behind children. We call such a nightmare a holy nightmare. I didn't expect you, Stank, to have such a realm."

Stank's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to curse, but he held it back. He waved his hand and said, "Give up. No matter what you say, I won't go with you this time. I need to rest. A good rest! If you really want me to accompany you... let's do it next time."

Aesop looked at Kelim again. Kelim scratched his head and said honestly, "I'm willing to go, but I don't know if the store manager will agree..."

"Is that so..." Aesop fell into thought, "Then in that case, no one will accompany me..."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Gan Qiu crossed his arms and said dissatisfiedly, "You bastard, you don't take me seriously, right? So what if Stank and Jer aren't going? I'm still here, right? In order to go to the snowfield, I made preparations in advance when you guys arrived in that forest! Now is the time to put them to use. Hehe, Aesop, you'll soon know who your best brother is!"

Stank glanced at Gan Qiu and said, "You mean preparing to go to the brothels in the extremely cold underground street for several days in a row? And you accidentally got blacklisted by the nightmares there."

"Oh, you're underestimating me." Gan Qiu raised a finger. "Let me put it this way, I've already contacted a whole caravan of yak women. They'll help me enter the snowfield!"

"Yak girl?" Stank was a little confused. "What kind of race is this? I've never heard of it."
