"Can I still be saved if I change my definition of 'female protagonist' right now?" Su Qi asked with a crestfallen face.
"I... I don't know. My intention is to help the host become an outstanding female protagonist," the System replied coldly. This made Su Qi breathe a sigh of relief; as long as there was room for adjustment, it was fine.
Besides, even games had a plot to follow, so she didn't need to be too afraid.
When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten. Back then, she had a falling out with her parents over university matters. At first, she was also at a loss, but now, more than a year later, she actually had a little money. Complaining had never been Su Qi's way.
She was the type to get things done. Just throw her the problem, and she would solve it.
"System, what does 110% completion mean?" Su Qi asked the System again.
"The host's total fan count is 5318. This means that on top of this existing number, you need to attract 10% of the current audience as new fans, thereby opening up the host's popularity. To be conservative, having 6000 people satisfied with the host's photos should suffice." Su Qi's head started to ache upon hearing the System's words.
A group of players had 300 people, and she only had 10 group chats. Not to mention that there were duplicate people or administrators within these group chats.
Over 5800 people, how was this calculated! Were these players supposed to share these cross-dressing photos with their friends?
Ding! The System suggested that the host could edit the cross-dressing photos into videos and post them online for people to enjoy.
Su Qi thought that what the System was referring to was likely the currently trending DouDou Short Video. She hadn't expected this System to be so up-to-date!
However, if she posted them on short videos, letting a crowd see her cross-dressing would indeed be quite embarrassing.
The most terrifying thing would be for her older brothers or her strict parents to see her in cross-dressing attire. If they found out she was cross-dressing, they would probably lock her up in her room to prevent her from making a fool of herself.
But, considering her current changes, she wondered what she would look like in 7 days. Would they still recognize her?
Thinking about how surprised her parents would be when she returned home, Su Qi found it a little amusing.
"System, as a female protagonist, especially one who suddenly became one, I believe you have an obligation to help explain this," Su Qi thought, looking at the System that transcended scientific capabilities, to see what methods it had.
The System was silent for two seconds before making a sound: "The host has it, but I'm not sure about the price. Do you want it?"
She had intended to test the System, but she didn't expect it to actually have a solution. Su Qi nodded, and in the next moment, a report appeared out of thin air in her hand. It was a diagnostic certificate from Su City's most renowned affiliated third hospital.
Name: Su Qi
Gender: Female
Diagnosis: Su Qi suffers from Intersex Disorder. Since the age of 17, male characteristics have gradually disappeared. Currently tested as XX, not XY, determined to be female...
There were over 200 words in total, but Su Qi found it too professional to understand. Below it were many official seals, demonstrating the authenticity of this medical record.
The System is quite reliable after all, Su Qi thought.
Just then, her phone vibrated. You consumed 100,000,000 yuan within the app on June 2, 2021. Your current card balance remaining is 64,900.
Su Qi: ??? Her hard-earned hundred thousand was gone just like that? But she remembered she was the one who nodded, so Su Qi couldn't say much.
At this moment, the System explained: "Su City Affiliated Third Hospital is the most authoritative hospital in Jiangsu Province. Falsifying medical records, filing them in the archives, and altering surveillance footage is a task with a high degree of difficulty.
With this authoritative case file, no one can find any fault. Furthermore, this System has blocked the surveillance footage from the day of the surgery, resulting in a blank period for that hospital room. Therefore, the amount spent is considerable."
Listening to the System obediently explain itself, Su Qi felt that spending 100,000 yuan suddenly wasn't so unbearable.
She just felt a pang of heartache looking at the remaining balance.
She had taken out loans for her university education, a loan for four years. Fortunately, she was an excellent student, and the total amount was only 12,000 yuan.
She bought her computer when she enrolled in her first year. She had to repay interest on JD Baitiao every month, and with Huabei, she had to repay about 15,000 yuan. Rent of 10,000 yuan was also due soon.
Uh, how did it feel like her life had suddenly gone from comfortable to pre-liberation era?
However, Su Qi carefully kept this medical record. Although she had already clashed with her strict parents, if asked whether Su Qi loved them, the answer was of course yes. It was just that her father's overly autocratic decisions happened to collide with Su Qi's rebellious phase, leading to this outcome.
Although spending 100,000 yuan made her heart ache, it was worth it if it could put her parents' minds at ease.
"What's this about luck? I didn't see any description of this in the interface!" Su Qi didn't wallow in the pain of spending money for too long and continued to ask the System.
"Luck is luck; it subtly makes good things happen around you. For example, if your luck increases, the probability of the host picking up money will increase," the System replied.
Although it was a cold synthesized voice, Su Qi found it very amusing. The example the System gave was particularly like a little girl from her elementary school days. She would also say she was lucky when she found money.
Su Qi remembered that back then, to make her lucky, he would always place his pocket money on the ground and then take her to pick it up.
"Then this +1 for luck? What kind of situation can be achieved? Is the maximum luck 10 or 100?" Su Qi didn't get lost in past memories for too long and asked. If the maximum luck was 10, she couldn't help but think of the protagonists in casual novels described by Wu Wei, who were so lucky that Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures followed them wherever they went!
Then, if she completed a few more tasks, wouldn't she...?
"The maximum value is 1000."
Oh, if it's one in a thousand, it's not that exciting anymore. Just as Su Qi thought this, the System explained again: "With a little more luck, the host will be able to turn misfortune into blessings more often. For example, during an earthquake, the host will have a higher chance of survival. When falling from a cliff, there's a greater chance of landing in a puddle, and so on."
Su Qi stated that in a harmonious society, such cliff-jumping incidents, which only occurred in cultivation worlds, wouldn't happen. She looked at the penalties, and these penalties were clearly much harsher than the rewards. Levity +20. If the task failed, Su Qi, with Levity +20, walking on the street, relying on the appearance given by this System, Su Qi could completely imagine some "xxx without mercy" manga plots.
Forget it, forget it. She'd better focus on getting the photos done!
Taking good care of her fans was the first principle of survival.
Looking at the website, the number one option was Qiongmei.
Su Qi was not too surprised. This sister character was simply too perfect. A capable sister, who was also blessed with a divine voice and a delicate body, with a slightly tsundere personality, she was the sister character everyone dreamed of.
I should start by looking for cosplay outfits on Taobao! I heard cosplay outfits are really expensive. Maybe I should buy some knock-offs and then photoshop the pictures later.
When I opened Taobao, instead of the usual colorful green and red Taobao page, this time it was different. A pink font appeared on a white background.
Mysterious Female Protagonist System Store.
Inside, it was laid out like a Taobao interface, with various cosplay outfits displayed, and prices thoughtfully attached.
For example, the Qiongmei outfit had a price tag of 9999 attached.
Damn it, you black-hearted merchant, that's so expensive! I remembered seeing low-priced ones on Taobao for no more than 50 yuan.
And even Japanese clothes aren't more than 3000 yuan. 9999, is this outfit studded with diamonds!
System, I feel like your heart is black!
