Novel Full Chapter 198: A Friendly Wager
Chapter 198: A Friendly Wager
Mimi was overjoyed that Alex considered her not only to be helpful on this little outing, but of monumental help to the group’s survival. She had always been sheltered her entire life and was considered by most to be little more than a pretty face to look at.
Even her career as an idol showed that she had one talent in this world and that was her looks, and perhaps her voice. But then again, K-pop was heavily saturated with auto tune. Nobody ever considered her to be intelligent and constantly treated her like a child. A role she had simply decided to fulfill simply because she had no other options.
And though she genuinely had an innocent and kind soul, since beginning her relationship with Alex she had rapidly become acquainted with the realities of this world. She started to understand that there were many things she was never taught, and was definitely lagging behind most women her age in terms of the real world.
For her first outing into the wilderness, she had a deep-seated insecurity that Alex would spoil her and undertake all the work on her behalf. Something which became immediately evident when he took her bag from her, believing she was incapable of carrying her own weight.
But imagine her surprise, when the oysters and prawns she caught had been turned into a such a delicious meal, a meal that never would have existed without her efforts. For Alex to praise her over this, instead of how beautiful she was, or how angelic her voice was. It was as if she was being praised for something of actual practical value, rather than something superficial.
It was such a big moment for him, even if it might seem miniscule to anyone else. It was because of this that she was overwhelmed with tears of joy, and latched onto Alex as if he was the only person in her life who treated her as more than just a useless child whose only contribution to the world was her pretty face and adorable appearance.
Unbeknownst to the beautiful young idol, whose beauty was already considered by most to be on the top of the world’s most stunning women. She underwent a far more subtle transformation than her peers. After all, she was already ranked in the top ten most beautiful women on the planet, or had been previously to the transformations that Alex’s other women underwent.
Because of this there were only minor shifts in her facial structure, the purity of her already near flawless jade like skin. When Alex looked at the girl after she stopped crying into his chest, he froze in his spot. Though the difference in her appearance was subtle, it was still in many was jarring. Mimi had turned into what he would describe as a porcelain doll.
Both Alex and the other women couldn’t help but stare at the girl with mouths agape, and in awkward silence. How was it possible for a woman to be this stunning and cute at the same time? Could such a thing really exist? It went beyond the boundaries of human knowledge. Yet Mimi had no idea what had happened to her, and was incredibly confused, as she looked around at her frozen friends, before crying out in a state of panic.“What? What’s wrong? Why are you all so suddenly silent?”
It was the worry in Mimi’s voice that caused Alex to snap out of his astonishment, and instead respond to the young woman with a genuine smile on his face.
“It’s nothing Mimi, I just never realized just how beautiful you really are until now…”
This comment caused the girl to blush. That is, until she remembered that all the girls who had previously gone with Alex on this camping trip had suddenly turned out so gorgeous. She quickly pulled out her hand mirror from her bag and examined her appearance. Where the young Idol realized she too had changed in subtle ways that perfected her already near flawless appearance. A voice of disbelief escaped from Mimi’s mouth as she expressed her awe aloud.
“Is this really me?”
Alex did not hesitate to latch onto the girl from behind, as he confirmed that this stunning little doll was indeed her new appearance.
“This is indeed you, my little Mimi has blossomed into a beautiful young woman…”
This comment caused Mimi to blush profusely as she covered her eyes with her hands in embarrassment. The young idol could hardly believe what had happened to her, and near instantly at that. Was this island paradise really that magical?
Alex began to slowly kiss the girl on the neck, and work his hands under her tunic in a way that caused her to only become more embarrassed. Meanwhile, Dal and Nari took the hint, and hugged Alex from behind, doing the same to him that he was doing to Mimi.
The four of them would spend the night in a loving embrace before finally getting some rest at the hour of twilight. It was not until late in the morning when Alex and the others awoke. Where they found themselves ready for the next day.
Nari and Alex quickly got to work on finishing the roof of the cabin that they had both worked so hard on. Where they managed to get the frame properly in place before around noon departing back to the mansion.
Mimi was greeted by the other women with a warm welcome, and she was quick to give Alex a goodbye kiss before he went through another day of rest and relaxation. Once the sun had a rose on the next day. Alex chose the next woman who he would be taking with him, which was none other than Chun-Hei who he still affectionally called by the nickname he had given her a long time ago.
“Police girl you’re up… I hope you’re better at wilderness survival than you are at apprehending perps…”
This comment caused Chun-Hei to flush in embarrassment. Partially because that nickname that she hated most continued to persist in Alex’s vocabulary, and partially because she remembered what happened the first time she tried to arrest Alex.
But nevertheless, she stepped forward, already prepared, unlike the others who simply waited to be called upon before taking action. The blue-haired beauty wore a stern expression as she got up in Alex’s face and began to scold him for his words.
‘I’ll have you know my father used to take me out camping in the mountains when I was a kid. I am more than experienced when it comes to this sort of thing. I just hope you don’t disappoint me with your poor attempt at a shelter when we finally get to your hiding place!”
This was a challenged that caused Alex to smirk, as he grabbed hold of the woman’s ass, and dragged her into his embrace, before kissing her in front of all his other women. He immediately challenged the woman to a wager upon hearing her haughty tone.
“Alright… If you are shocked with all that we have built over this past week, then you have to spend the entire time at the campsite completely naked!”
Chun-Hei scoffed, believing that Alex was all bark and no bite. She had no idea that his [Retention Skill] had given him survival skills on par with the experts in the craft such as the American Pioneers, or the Norse raiders of the bygone past. Instead, she continued to believe he was just an arrogant city boy who was playing in the woods.
It was because of this misplaced belief that Chun-Hei accepted Alex’s wager, while demanding he do the same.
“Alright fine… But if I’m not impressed by your performance then you will have to run around naked in my stead, deal?”
Alex immediately spit on his hand and held it out in a gesture that made Chun-Hei look at him like a barbarian. She simply grabbed hold of his finger and shook that instead of touching the man’s saliva. Then the two of them walked off, while Nari and Dal snickered.
Not only did they have a dugout shelter built for the survival of four, but they also had a two-story log cabin that was nearly finished, along with a functioning outhouse that was actually quite comfortable.
The outhouse had been constructed of the same bamboo, timber, and clay construction that Alex and the girls used for the interior of the dugout shelter, while its rooftop was made from overlapping clay tiles. The door was made out of properly sawed, sanded, polished, and oiled wooden planks. As was the flooring and seating area.
There was also a polished copper toilet seat, with a matching lid that Alex had imported from abroad, and the actual function of the outhouse was designed as a composting toilet. In addition to all of this, there was a basin for one to wash their hands in after doing the deed, and a ready supply of homemade lye soap.
It was by no means as luxurious as a modern restroom, but for a handmade job outhouse in the wilderness? It was as nice as it could possibly be. And thus Chun-Hei stared at Alex in disbelief, which the man took a picture of for the sake of their bet. It was then, and only then that she realized she had lost the wager. And would now have to remain naked for the next twenty-four hours or so.
