My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 244 - 217: Lottery Draw

Initially, Li Peifeng thought the Chasing Wind Scumbag Girl Group was some sort of cult. After hearing Gu Jinyu's explanation, he finally understood what it was all about. Maybe this group would be better suited with a different name, like...

"Ex-lovers Alliance?"

"No, it should be called the Avenging Women Alliance, but there are no grudges or resentments anyway; it was consensual before. Now they're messing with me again. Ah, women, your name is pettiness!"

Li Peifeng shook his head, clearing his thoughts. Wu Wenyue then asked, "What are you planning to do about this?"

"If someone wants to feel important, I'll just ignore them."

Li Peifeng seemed indifferent, "You just lie on the bed. I'm going to the bathroom, then I'll give you some medication and a massage."

Wu Wenyue watched his back, frowning and muttering to herself, "Man, what a disaster. Even a smile is a bounty to women. Fireflies don't dare light up in your presence, covering their butts as they fly. Really, someone should scratch up your pretty face so you'll finally shut up..."

Li Peifeng wasn't aware of Wu Wenyue's resentment, and he really didn't take what Gu Jinyu said to heart.

It's just some white-haired girl who wants to play a game of cat and mouse with him, gathering a ragtag group to launch an offensive, hoping to drown Li Peifeng in a sea of flowers and expose him for being a two-timer to socially ruin him.

But now there's a mole in the scumbag girl group, and Li Peifeng is privy to these wicked women's entire plan, rendering it entirely ineffective.

Even without prior knowledge, Li Peifeng didn't think it would work on him anyway.

"I've been ashore for so long, and you still want to drag me back under? And onto multiple boats at that? Dreamers, the lot of you!"

"I'm already balancing four, where would I find more feet?!"

After entering the bathroom, Li Peifeng locked the door and summoned the system's lottery wheel.

Right now, nothing was more important than the lottery. Spin, spin for a new future!

The lottery wheel appeared before him.

[30% (Item) Secret Medicine: Peiyuan Pill...]

[12% (Skill) Dragon and Maiden Harmony Skill...]

[10% (Item) Ever-changing Dress...]

[5% (Transformation) Iron Heart...]

[8% (Transformation) Keen Sense of Smell; Compared to other animals, the human olfactory system is somewhat degenerate, but it still provides crucial survival information. 'Keen Sense of Smell' is a biotechnology from the BC23 tech realm. After modification, your sense of smell will be enhanced by 500%, able to distinguish any known components in a scent. Without even opening your eyes, you can judge someone's approximate age and current mood from their scent alone. (Smell is linked to emotional memory, so when love approaches, your nose will let you know.)]

This last reward replaced the previous [(Aura) Brand Ambassador], and going by the description, it seemed impressive. After modification, not only would he become a 'dog nose', but he could also sense someone's mood and age solely based on their scent.

Li Peifeng thought this was pretty good, but what he really wanted was that 30% chance Peiyuan Pill!

[(Item) Secret Medicine: Peiyuan Pill; traditionally crafted, nourishing and restorative. Used to boost yang energy, strengthen kidneys, and replenish essence, regulating the five viscera's deficiencies. Through supporting the right and expelling the evil, achieve abundant yang energy and vigor. (One pill per use, twice a day, this product cannot replace medicine)]

Reading this description, Li Peifeng felt it might help with Wu Wenyue's back injury. Even if it didn't, taking it wouldn't be a waste, as it would at least boost her constitution.

"Bring it on!"

Li Peifeng turned on the faucet, carefully washed his hands with soap, wiped his face, and with a resolute expression, declared, "Time to spin!!"

"[Unfortunately, you did not win.]"

A miss wasn't surprising, but Li Peifeng didn't hesitate for a moment and spun again.

[Congratulations, you have won (Transformation) Keen Sense of Smell!]

Suddenly, the various scents in the bathroom were vividly clear: disinfectant, body wash, soap, waste, and urine smelled pungently, nearly knocking Li Peifeng out from the abrupt change. He steadied himself with one hand on the sink, pinched his nose with the other, and breathed through his mouth a dozen times before gradually adapting.

"Hiss~ Haha~ Can I never go to a public restroom or street food stall again?"

Still uneasy, Li Peifeng cautiously took a tiny whiff, finding it wasn't as intense as before. He could still detect the different odors in the bathroom, though.

"It's manageable; the smell sensitivity should adjust with my intention!"

After experimenting for thirty seconds, Li Peifeng concluded and pleased, continued the draw.

[Congratulations, you have won (Skill) Dragon and Maiden Harmony Skill!]

"It's like there's some weird knowledge implanted in my mind, maybe I can try it out later to see how it works!"

Li Peifeng chuckled, continuing the draw, and this time, finally got his wish.

[Congratulations, you have won (Item) Secret Medicine: Peiyuan Pill!]

It was a transparent plastic bottle filled with black pills, likely four or five hundred of them, each about the size of a Liuwei Dihuang pill.

"I better try one."

Li Peifeng unscrewed the cap and tossed a pill into his mouth. It had no particular taste, so to ensure he could swallow it, he leaned over the sink, let some tap water run, and gulped it down.

Once the water hit his mouth, he felt the pill dissolve completely, releasing a fusion of chocolate and ginger flavors—odd, but not unpleasant.

"Gulp~"

The medicinal liquid traveled down his throat, through his esophagus, and finally to his stomach, but Li Peifeng felt as if he had swallowed a ball of fire or possibly fifty-degree spirits, hot and intense.

This heat then spread from his stomach to his entire body, invigorating Li Peifeng all at once!

"Hiss, is it really this effective?"

Though skeptical, Li Peifeng stifled the urge to take another, pocketed the bottle, and prepared for the fifth and final draw.

At this moment, on the lottery wheel, aside from [Ever-changing Dress] and [Iron Heart], four new rewards had refreshed. He didn't have time to pay attention to the new rewards because there was a knock on the bathroom door...

"What are you doing in there? Did you fall in?"

Wu Wenyue knocked on the door, urging, "Why'd you lock the door? Hurry up, I need to use it too."

"Almost done, just wiping my butt... Ah!!!"

The first half of Li Peifeng's sentence was calm enough, but suddenly he let out a painful yell, his voice so loud that Wu Wenyue's expression outside the door changed, "Peifeng, what's wrong with you? Why are you shouting in the bathroom?"

"..."

There was no reply from the bathroom.

Wu Wenyue grew anxious, "Don't joke around! Say something, were you flushed away by the water?"

"..."

Another four or five seconds passed without a word.

Wu Wenyue started trying to force the locked sliding door open, her expression a mix of alarm and urgency, "Open the door! Open it now, or I'll break in! You better not have secretly put a catheter in and knocked yourself out?!"
