13. Faint Fragrance
When the programming class ended, the hour hand was only pointing to five o’clock.
On a usual day, Su Qi would rush out of the classroom and return to his little den as soon as class ended, either to write code and work on games or to draw original art to earn some money.
However, today’s Su Qi felt a bit lost.
The game had already been completed and also earned a large sum of money. In the short term, he definitely wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing, and there was no need to do things like drawing original art to make a living.
In this way, Su Qi felt very idle.
He remembered the last time this kind of situation appeared was during his third year of high school, when he hadn’t run away from home yet.
Although he occasionally quarreled with his domineering parents, he didn’t need to worry about things other than his studies.
Saying this made him a bit nostalgic.
Why think about these things? If they don’t come find me, I definitely can’t go back first.
Besides, didn’t I just make money? Why be so melancholic?
The four of them returned to the dorm. They watched the oldest, Han Yixing, take out a notebook and open one form after another.
Wang Dongxu opened his phone and watched the currently very popular short videos on Doudou. In the videos, beautiful girls one after another wore sexy hot pants or miniskirts, shaking their figures along with the addictive BGM. Wang Dongxu was all smiles, perfectly interpreting what a LSP was.
Wu Wei opened his phone and silently started reading a novel.
“What’s the name of the novel you’re reading?” Su Qi saw him reading with gusto and felt that if it was a good novel, he could also read it.
“That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime!” Wu Wei said with a straight face.
Su Qi: “Say it again, the name!”
“That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime!” Wu Wei answered again.
Su Qi said directly, bro, this name is really long! But it’s also straightforward enough, directly telling the reader what kind of book this is!
At this time, the system’s female voice came:
“What’s with reincarnating as a slime, how can that compare to the excitement of transforming into a female protagonist.”
He originally thought it was here to issue a mission, who would have thought this system just came to interject. So disappointing.
Although Su Qi was not a bookworm, he had also heard Wu Wei talk about some systems described in novels. Giving a few hundred million at the start was considered few.
Otherwise, it would be acquiring a bunch of extraordinary skills, things like medical skills, treasure appraisal, and such. At the very least, it would be attracting many beauties from the start, and then walking towards the peak of life.
How come when it got to him, the style was all wrong? Let’s not talk about letting him be surrounded by beauties from the start. First it took away his tool, and then it wanted to turn him into a female protagonist.
What the heck? Are you here to screw me over?
The more Su Qi thought about it, the angrier he got. Ignoring the system’s incessant chatter, he opened a novel app.
At this time, a novel caught Su Qi’s eye.
“Transforming into a Pure Loli”. Su Qi wasn’t a lolicon. His works also didn’t have lolis appearing. What he was interested in were the two words “transform”.
How exactly did this transformation happen? With this thought, Su Qi started reading.
An hour quickly passed. Wu Wei patted Su Qi, frightening him.
“What book is it that you’re reading so intently? Let me see. Brother Qi, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!” As a bookworm, Wu Wei saw the book title in the upper left corner at a glance.
“What is it, what is it?” Wang Dongxu also came over.
“Brother Qi turned out to be a lolicon!” Wu Wei said with a lewd smile.
“No way!”
“Do you two still want to eat or not??” Su Qi said.
There’s a saying that if you take someone’s food, you can’t lift your hand high. If it was a normal day, Wu Wei and Dongxu would definitely still make a fuss, but now that they were about to go eat, they really didn’t want any trouble.
They all obediently shut their mouths.
“Brother Han, what car are you driving today!?” Wang Dongxu was quite excited, because the car Han Yixing drove out each time was different! This made Wang Dongxu, a car enthusiast, very excited.
You should know, the most expensive car he had sat in before was a Mercedes-Benz.
But ever since he met Han Yixing, he had ridden in all sorts of Porsches and Maseratis. Maybe one day he could even fulfill his wish and sit in a Bentley.
Han Yixing was driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class today. The huge body had already caused many people to turn their heads. After all, having such a large and impressive SUV was the romance of who knows how many men.
Wang Dongxu, sitting in the passenger seat, was obviously a bit excited. Looking at the interior of the car, his eyes were full of stars.
Su Qi wasn’t interested in cars, but he could also see from the gazes of others that this car was extraordinary.
Su Qi always felt that the moment Han Yixing took out his car key, the gazes of everyone made Su Qi feel like he was watching the male lead’s cool entrance in a movie.
Damn it! He got fooled by his act.
The car drove steadily. Compared to the experience of riding in a taxi, who knows how many times better it was.
Su Qi was still recalling the female loli protagonist in that novel just now. After getting the support of an external system, she attracted attention. The fully unlocked awesome abilities of the external system made everyone turn their heads to look.
He couldn’t help but complain about his own system again. Right from the start, it turned him into a girl, what the heck!
But this time, the system was obviously angry.
The female protagonist system prompted: “This system is not a charity. This system is an independent entity with independent thoughts. The relationship between this system and the host is mutually beneficial, not an exploitative one.”
Hearing the system’s voice that clearly carried some emotion, Su Qi felt it was funny and couldn’t help but say, “Aren’t the systems in web novels the same? The more fans, the more benefits the system gives?”
After Su Qi threw out his viewpoint, the female protagonist system suddenly went quiet.
This sudden silence made Su Qi a bit caught off guard. He had already thought of the next point after this point was refuted. He didn’t expect that this system was a bit silly and was stumped by just one question.
But immediately, Su Qi was dumbfounded, because a red box popped up on his attribute panel.
[Ding, in view of the host’s urgent desire to become a female protagonist, this system will mercifully accelerate the progress. Current progress is 2/7. Creamy/Faint Fragrance]
Before Su Qi could understand what this description of creamy and faint fragrance meant, he saw Wu Wei beside him take a big sniff.
“Brother Han, what air freshener did you put in your car? It smells great!”
“Yeah, really. It’s relaxing and not pungent. This is a divine scent. Could this be the hidden attribute of million-dollar luxury cars?” Wang Dongxu was also looking around, trying to see where the scent was coming from.
“It’s not the scent in my car. Did one of you spray perfume?” Han Yixing of course knew his own car very well. He also immediately smelled a faint scent that was gentle and not pungent, making people feel very at ease.
“I didn’t spray any.”
“I don’t even have any!”
Then the two turned their heads together to look at Su Qi. Even Han Yixing, who was driving, put his gaze on the rearview mirror to look at Su Qi.
“I, I of course didn’t spray any either! Weren’t we together the whole time?” Su Qi didn’t realize that because he was nervous, he said “I” twice, already exposing himself.
At this time, Su Qi just wanted to cry. A mystery was solved. No wonder people kept saying his skin was good today.
It turned out that today already counted as the first day. And now the system had increased the progress to the second day, so this body fragrance appeared.
Oh my god, who knows what the third day will turn into?
Now Su Qi was very flustered!
Seeing his roommates’ three pairs of eyes turning a bit green, Su Qi had the illusion that he was a little lamb.
Great system, I was wrong. Please retract your divine powers first. I want to rent a place. I can’t live in the dorm anymore! Staying in the dorm risks losing my chastity!
Female Protagonist System: A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit. I hope the host will cooperate well with me on the road ahead and not read any weird books.
Su Qi quickly nodded, indicating he wouldn’t read anymore!
This system can’t be offended!
But in the end, even after arriving downstairs at the buffet restaurant, he didn’t receive the system’s next response.
Could this system be female?
