"The streamer has been abducted by aliens! Go check out her posts~"
At one in the afternoon, when the audience punctually flooded into Sister Guoguo's stream, they were met with only a black screen bearing this line of text. Sister Guoguo was not streaming today.
[????]
[Where's Sister Guoguo???]
[Wake up and get to work! Don't you want your salary?]
[Guo~ Zi!]
[What happened? Isn't Sister Guoguo always on time? And she didn't post an update saying she was taking the day off, did she?]
[Stream Mod: I just called Sister Guoguo. She told me yesterday's massage was so comfortable that she doesn't want to move…]
[What the hell? The massage was so good she couldn't even be bothered to post an update?]
[Stream Mod: She said her mind is completely blank right now… she forgot…]
[Did the massage therapist have electronic components in his hands?]
[Hiss… The culture of Zhonghua is vast and profound…]
[Could it be that… Wende Massage from yesterday?]
[Holy crap, Tao Nai isn't streaming either…]
[Lan Yu posted an update saying she can't edit her video today because her whole body has turned to jelly…]
[Huh? What kind of massage is this? This is more like having your life essence sucked out!]
[No… this is being injected with too much "Yang energy."]
"Mmm… my body is so soft… I don't want to move at all…"
Sister Guoguo, having just been thoroughly worked over from top to bottom by Wende's large hands, was now on the verge of becoming "a puddle."
She had no idea how she even walked out of the massage parlor. All she knew was that the three of them had supported each other, called a ride-share on their phones, and the driver had given the trio a very strange look.
"Ah… so good, so comfortable. I feel like my whole being has been reborn!"
Lan Yu crawled out from under Sister Guoguo's bed, flipped over, and lay down beside her, panting heavily. "This is amazing," she said, her chest heaving with every gasp.
"Ngg… huff… ngg… huff…"
"…"
"She's fallen asleep."
"Looks like it."
"Let's sleep too…"
"Mhm."
"So, I have to do this for the entire day?"
Looking at the long line before him, the light in Wende's eyes gradually dimmed.
This is going to kill me… It's definitely going to kill me!
After learning that such a massage parlor existed in the Magic City, many Star Rail players had locked onto its location, flocking over to check in, visit, and experience this master's "handiwork" for themselves.
Many of Sister Guoguo's and Lan Yu's fans and friends, upon hearing that the two had been massaged to the point of near-ascension, also fell for their overt scheme and came to Wende's massage parlor to investigate!
Haihai, a VTuber with a dog persona, was in reality a… an energetic and beautiful young woman, petite and adorable, with a personality just as cute as a puppy.
But she had woken up with a stiff neck this morning. As it happened, she was currently in the Magic City and had heard about Sister Guoguo's and Lan Yu's experience. Driven by curiosity and the pain in her neck, Haihai also arrived at the entrance of Wende's massage parlor.
"Master, I twisted my neck… can you help me with it?"
Haihai, tilting her neck, sat on the massage stool Wende had prepared and looked pitifully at the fully-equipped Wende.
"A twisted neck, eh… let me see."
Wende sat in front of Haihai, his large hands slowly moving toward her neck.
Sniff, sniff…
"This master smells so good… but why are his eyes purple? Is he a foreigner…?"
"No, from his voice, he should be a local… but… his chest is so big… and his palms are so warm… hehehe…"
Looking at Wende, such thoughts inexplicably ran through Haihai's mind.
"Is it here?"
Wende looked at Haihai, who was so lost in her daze that she was about to drool, and gently pressed on her neck. He watched as she winced in pain.
"Yes, yes! Right there! Master, help me take a look!" Haihai nodded, speaking with certainty.
"Alright, look at this first."
Wende nodded in understanding, then took out a stainless-steel needle from the pocket that was bulging on his chest.
"Follow the end of the needle."
Wende held the end of the needle and moved it to Haihai's right.
"Yes, just like that…"
Then, Wende moved the needle to Haihai's left.
"Good… now hold still."
Wende put down the needle and moved behind Haihai.
CRACK…
Before Haihai could react, there was a crisp sound, followed by a wave of pain.
"AWOOO!!!"
"Alright, next."
Patting Haihai, who looked as if she'd just seen a ghost, Wende called out to the line outside.
"U-um… Master, I'd still like another massage…"
Haihai quickly called out to Wende, then turned her own neck in amazement. The pain was really gone…
"Oh, alright. Lie down here."
Pointing to the massage bed, Wende said to Haihai.
"Awoof."
Crack, crack, crack…
"AWOO AWOO AWOO!!! AWOOOOO~~~~~~"
Ten minutes later, to the astonished expressions of the crowd in line, Haihai emerged slowly from the massage parlor, flushed pink from head to toe, her legs trembling as she held onto the doorframe.
"Er… Kakaya-ge, are we really going in?"
Apple Teacher, who had come with Kakaya, looked at the young girl who seemed to have endured some kind of terrible ordeal, and his heart began to beat a retreat.
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a massage. I get them all the time! What, my good sir Apple, are you scared?"
Kakaya raised an eyebrow at Apple in a challenging manner.
"Hmph, you're going first anyway. I'm not in a hurry."
Apple put on an air of nonchalance.
"Next."
Wende wiped his hands and called out the door.
"Coming! Apple, your bro is going in to relax!"
Kakaya swaggered into the massage parlor.
One minute later.
"Ah~~~~~~~~"
A man's voice, twisting and turning and sounding extremely soulful, echoed from within the massage parlor, making every man present involuntarily clench.
Ten minutes later, Wende wiped down the massage bed with a blank expression, then looked at the embarrassed and socially dead Kakaya, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Um… Master, do you accept payment via Chibubao?"
Wende silently nodded.
"Ding… Chibubao payment received, one thousand yuan."
"Master! My apologies!"
Kakaya gave Wende a deep bow and walked out of the massage parlor, his body limp.
"Huh? Why'd you change your pants?"
Apple looked with confusion at Kakaya, who, despite his calm expression, was trembling all over.
"Don't ask. Just get in there. We'll take a taxi home together later…"
Kakaya's face flushed red, and he proceeded to shove and kick Apple into the massage parlor.
