The Only Player in 'Child of Stardust'-Chapter 45 - 39 The Wig
Chapter 45: Chapter 39: The Wig
Chapter 45 -39: The Wig
Three days later.
Zhou Yuan sat in front of his computer, scrolling through the online course materials sent by the Control Bureau.
That’s right, newbie extraordinaires had to not only attend weekly classes at the Control Bureau but also take online courses whenever they had free time. At the end of each month, there would be an exam, and if they failed, the Control Bureau would take them away for mandatory learning.
However, these courses were all about the basic knowledge of the Extraordinary World, which wasn’t too hard. Rote learning was enough.
After quickly flipping through the online course materials, Zhou Yuan stretched and took a healthy apple from his backpack, munching on it while browsing the forum.
In recent times, the daily draws from the lucky spin gave him mostly healthy apples. The probability of winning this item far exceeded that of other items, while a small portion of his wins were strength fried eggs, which had the second-highest probability after healthy apples.
Who knows when the other items would be unlocked.
After connecting with the Control Bureau, Zhou Yuan obtained a way to log into the official forum of the Dongzhou Control Bureau.
The official forum was full of extraordinary people, with posts of all kinds.
[Exposing someone, this person bought an abnormal item from me, pulled some tricks after receiving it, and then bit back at me. Beware!]
[I’m thirty-five this year, looking for a wife. My ability is to enlarge specific body parts.]
[Witches Association monthly post: Leave your personal info below, and maybe a witch lady will choose you ~~~~]
[Big shots, I’m being haunted by a yandere ghost girl. What should I do?]
[Posting figures who landed big deals in history, you give them a rating.]
There were dating posts, daily posts, help-seeking posts, trade posts, exposing posts, teaching posts, rating posts… and even the pinned monthly post from the Witches Association!
This showed just how lively the forum was, with a variety of posts popping up endlessly, indirectly indicating the large number of extraordinary people — and this was just Dongzhou’s forum.
As a newbie, Zhou Yuan was having a great time browsing, learning new content and knowledge from each post, broadening his horizons.
The internet was truly a wonderful thing.
Zhou Yuan kept browsing the forum until noon when he started to feel hungry and decided to go out for some food.
Wandering around might trigger a mission.

In the commercial street, people were bustling around, and many young people were dressed in cosplay outfits, looking like their favorite anime or game characters.
“Rumonth, the quality of your wig is pretty good. The texture is amazing, how much conditioner did you use?”
A red magical girl exclaimed while touching the blue hair of another girl dressed as a blue magical girl.
Another yellow magical girl also touched it and praised, “Wow, so smooth.”
“Huh? Really? I just cleaned and trimmed it a bit after buying it and wore it.”
The blue magical girl named Lin Rumonth touched the wig as well, exclaiming in surprise, “It really feels nice, both smooth and sleek… but it wasn’t like this before.”
“Maybe it got better after you washed it. Where did you buy it? I want to get one too.”
Lin Rumonth took out her phone, “Let me find it, it was from a new store having a promotion… huh? The store is gone?”
“Forget it, if it’s gone, it’s gone. The afternoon session is about to start, we should hurry back.”
“Okay.”
The three magical girls quickened their pace towards the venue, while a figure behind them suddenly turned around.
[As a seasoned anime lover, you immediately recognized the three characters: Magenta, Cobalt Blue, and Sulfur. Let me tell you quietly, the cosplayer of Cobalt Blue is not out of character. And another secret: the wig on her head is made from a dead person’s hair.]
[Event detected, generating mission…]
[Mission Name: “Wig”]
[Mission Objective: Eliminate the vengeful spirit in the dead person’s hair 0/1]
[Mission Reward 1: Experience Points * 300]
[Mission Reward 2: Star Coins * 1000]
[Mission Reward 3: Fine Quality Skill Scroll * 1]
“A new mission.”
Zhou Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed them.
After buying a ticket to the anime expo, Zhou Yuan searched for a long time before finding the three magical girls.
He squeezed through the crowd and walked straight up to the three, flashing an impeccable smile:
“Hello, can I take a photo with you?”
After awakening, an extraordinary person’s physical attributes would undergo a comprehensive enhancement, so Zhou Yuan no longer needed to use a disguise scroll and could openly display his 11 Charm points.
For ordinary people, 11 Charm points were the ultimate weapon, effectively bewitching people of all ages and genders.
“Of course,” the three magical girls were stunned, thinking where had this handsome guy come from?
The red and yellow magical girls were quite bold, directly holding onto Zhou Yuan’s arms, making Lin Rumonth, who was about to do something, feel a bit awkward and forced to stand beside them and strike a pose.
After taking the photo, Zhou Yuan looked at Lin Rumonth, “Can I add you on WeChat?”
“Huh? Me?” Lin Rumonth was in disbelief, thinking she looked average. Why would he want to add her? Could it be… the clichéd romance plots in comics and novels were finally happening to her!
“Add, add, add.”
The other two magical girls quickly reminded her, and Lin Rumonth hurriedly took out her phone and added Zhou Yuan’s contact.
“My name is Lin Rumonth.”
“Zhou Yuan.”
Zhou Yuan smiled warmly and then pointed to the top of Lin Rumonth’s head, “I really like your wig, can you sell it to me?”
“Huh?” Lin Rumonth was confused, buying the wig?
Although puzzled, after some hesitation, Lin Rumonth took off the wig and handed it to Zhou Yuan.
She had no choice, Zhou Yuan was too handsome and charming to refuse. She felt that if Zhou Yuan asked her to get a room now, she might just half-heartedly agree.
“Thanks, I’ll transfer the money to you.”
Zhou Yuan transferred five hundred yuan to Lin Rumonth and then turned and left with the wig.
“Wait—” Lin Rumonth wanted to say something, but Zhou Yuan had already disappeared among the crowd.
After quickly leaving the commercial area, Zhou Yuan found a deserted alley and put the wig into his backpack.
[Name: Dead Person’s Wig]
[Note: My hair, give me back my hair!]
[Mission Item, not for sale]
Not for sale… Zhou Yuan then took out the wig and threw it on the ground, drenched it with alcohol, and ignited it with a lighter.
Whoosh!
Updat𝒆d fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.
The flame roared, and black smoke slowly rose, spreading a pungent burnt smell in the air.
Before long, the wig was reduced to ashes.
Yet, the system notification did not sound.
Zhou Yuan’s expression changed, could the vengeful spirit not be in the wig but have possessed Lin Rumonth?
He hurried back to the expo but couldn’t find Lin Rumonth. He sent her a message and waited for a long time without a response.
“Damn, this is troublesome.”
Zhou Yuan frowned and knew he had to find Lin Rumonth quickly.
