Forged Medical Records

"Would there still be a chance if I changed my definition of a female protagonist now?" Su Qi asked with a mournful face.

"I... I don't know. My purpose is to help the host become an outstanding female protagonist," the system replied coldly. Still, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there was room to negotiate, it was fine.

And even if this was a game, it still had to follow a storyline. She did not need to be too afraid.

When the cart reached the mountain, there would be a road; when the boat reached the bridge, it would naturally go straight. Back when she had fallen out with her parents over university, she had been at a loss at first too. Yet more than a year later, she had somehow earned a little money. Complaining had never been Su Qi's way.

She was the practical type. Throw a problem at her, and she would solve it.

"System, what does 110% completion mean?" Su Qi asked again.

"The host currently has a total of 5,318 fans. This means that, based on those people, attracting another 10% of the current number as new fans will increase the host's fame. To be safe, it will be enough if 6,000 people are satisfied with the host's photos." Su Qi immediately got a headache as she listened to the system.

Each group had 300 players, and she only had ten group chats. Not to mention that there were duplicate members and administrators in those groups.

More than 5,800 people—how was she supposed to count that? Was she supposed to make those players share her crossdressing photos with their friends?

Ding! The system suggests that the host edit the crossdressing photos into a video and post it online for people to enjoy.

Su Qi figured the system was probably talking about the currently popular DouDou Short Video. She had not expected this system to be so up to date!

But posting it on a short-video platform and letting a crowd watch her in women's clothing was honestly rather embarrassing.

The scariest possibility was her older brothers or her strict parents seeing what she looked like in women's clothing. If they found out, they would probably lock her in the house and refuse to let her embarrass herself.

Still, judging by the changes she was undergoing, who knew what she would look like in seven days? Would they even recognize her?

Just imagining her parents finding out that their son had become a daughter... well, they would be so happy.

She knew her parents had always wanted a daughter. She just did not know whether they would like this sort of mutation.

Thinking about the shocked looks on their faces when she returned home made Su Qi want to laugh.

"System, as a female protagonist—especially one who suddenly became a female protagonist like me—I think you have an obligation to help explain this." Su Qi thought of the system's science-defying abilities and wanted to see what it could do.

The system fell silent for two seconds before speaking. "The host does have one, but I am not sure about the price. Do you want it?"

She had only meant to test the system, but it actually had a solution. Su Qi nodded, and the next moment, a report appeared out of thin air in her hand. It was a diagnostic certificate from Su City's most famous affiliated third medical school.

Name: Su Qi

Sex: Female

Diagnosis: Su Qi suffers from Intersex Disorder. Since the age of seventeen, male characteristics have gradually disappeared. Current testing shows xx rather than xy. The patient is determined to be female...

The report contained over two hundred words in total. Su Qi found it far too professional to understand. There were also numerous official seals at the bottom, displaying the authenticity of the medical record.

The system was pretty reliable after all, Su Qi thought.

Then her phone suddenly vibrated. You spent 100,000 yuan in the app on June 2, 2021. Your current card balance is 64,900 yuan.

Su Qi: ?? The 100,000 yuan I worked so hard to earn is gone already? But since she had nodded just now, she could not really say anything.

The system explained, "Su City Affiliated Third Hospital is the most authoritative hospital in Jiangsu Province. Forging medical records, filing them in the archives, and altering the footage had a high difficulty coefficient.

"With this medical record, the authority is sufficient for no one to find fault with it. This system also blocked the surveillance footage from the day of the operation, creating a brief blank period in that ward. Therefore, the expense was relatively high."

Listening to the system obediently explain itself, Su Qi suddenly did not feel quite so bad about spending 100,000 yuan.

Still, seeing the remaining balance made her heart ache.

She had taken out loans to attend university, borrowing for all four years. Fortunately, she had been an excellent student, so the total only came to 12,000 yuan.

She had bought her computer when she started her freshman year. She had used JD Baitiao, and had to pay interest every month. Including Huabei, she still needed to repay around 15,000 yuan. Soon, she would also have to pay 10,000 yuan in rent.

Uh... why did it feel like her fairly comfortable life had suddenly turned into pre-liberation poverty?

Still, Su Qi carefully put away the medical record. Although she had already clashed with her strict parents, if someone asked whether she loved them—

Of course she did. It was just that her father's overly arbitrary decisions had collided with Su Qi's rebellious phase, leading to this outcome.

Spending 100,000 yuan hurt, but if it could put her parents at ease, it was worth it.

"And what about luck? I didn't see any description of that on the interface!" Su Qi did not wallow in the pain of spending money for long before asking the system again.

"Luck is simply luck. It subtly causes better things to happen around you. For example, if your luck is high, the host's chances of finding money will increase," the system answered.

Though it was a cold synthesized voice, Su Qi found it rather funny. Why did her system's example remind her so much of a little girl from elementary school? That girl had found money once and declared herself lucky.

Su Qi still remembered how, in order to make the girl lucky, she would always place her allowance somewhere in plain sight on the ground before taking the girl to pick it up.

"Then what can this +1 actually achieve? What's the maximum luck value—10 or 100?" Su Qi asked, not lingering on the past for long. If the maximum luck value was 10, she could not help thinking of the ridiculously lucky male protagonists Wu Wei described in those casual webnovels, where 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 1,000."

Uh, if it was only one-thousandth of the maximum, then it was not nearly as exciting. Just as Su Qi thought that, the system explained again, "With a little more luck, the host will have a greater chance of escaping danger. For example, during an earthquake, the host will have a higher chance of survival. If the host falls from a cliff, there will be a greater chance of landing in a pool of water, and so on."

Su Qi felt that in a harmonious society, how could there possibly be cliff-jumping incidents like those that only happened in cultivation worlds? She looked at the penalty, which was clearly much harsher than the reward: Flirtatiousness +20. If she failed the mission and walked the streets with Flirtatiousness +20, combined with the appearance the system had given her, Su Qi could fully imagine some kind of xxx tragic manga plot.

Forget it, forget it. She should just focus on getting the photos done properly!

Taking good care of her fans was the first rule of survival.

She looked at the top-ranked Qiongmei option on the website.

Su Qi was not too surprised. This little-sister-type character was simply too perfect. A capable younger sister, with a heavenly voice, soft body, white hair, and a touch of tsundere personality—she was the younger sister character everyone dreamed of having.

Then she should first look for cosplay clothes on Taobao! She had heard that cosplay outfits were expensive. If not, she could buy some knockoffs and edit the pictures later.

When she opened Taobao, instead of the usual colorful Taobao page, she saw something different this time: pink lettering against a white background.

Mysterious Female Protagonist System Store.

Inside, cosplay outfits were displayed one after another like on Taobao, with prices thoughtfully listed beside them.

For example, this Qiongmei outfit had a listed price of 9,999 yuan.

Damn, what a heartless merchant. So expensive? She remembered seeing cheap ones on Taobao for less than fifty yuan.

Even Japanese outfits only cost around 3,000 yuan. 9,999? Did you put diamonds on this thing or what?

System, I feel like your heart is black!
