My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 47 - 45: Peifeng’s Life, Never Inferior to Others
The lottery wheel shimmered brilliantly, dazzling and still as captivating as ever.
Upon closer inspection, the same six boxes of varying sizes remained unchanged, with no shift in specific rewards or draw probabilities.
[35% It’s unfortunate, but you didn’t win.]
[30% (Item) Secret Elixir·Nine Returns to One Strengthening Pill...]
[12% (Skill) Jiao Dragon Yin Yang Harmony Skill...]
[8% (Modification) Prosthetic Implant...]
These were the three rewards that Li Peifeng had never hit since the lottery wheel was first activated, so they remained.
The one Li Peifeng wanted the most was undoubtedly the last one, but he hadn’t won it in the previous draws. However, the other two new rewards were also tempting and almost as attractive as the prosthetic implant.
[10% (Modification) Liver of Stone·Courage of a Bucket, bionic organs cultivated from BC23 technological biospace. After modification, the chance of liver and gallbladder-related diseases is zero, with functional enhancement in digestion, detoxification, synthesis, etc., by 435% compared to the original liver and gallbladder. It effectively resists aging of body functions and increases human lifespan by 12%. Moreover, recent studies indicate that liver and gallbladder modifications have the invisible effect of regulating emotions and improving mood. It’s recommended to introduce an interest-free loan policy to promote nationwide adoption. (I am the star of the future, I am a pillar of the country, I want to work overtime, I want to work, I have courage, I’m capable, help me up, I want to contribute to society!)
[5% (Skill) Lingering Melody; Sound, an important tool for human communication. A person’s voice is a crucial part of their overall image, incorporating speed, tone, volume, and other factors. Having a good voice can naturally enhance others’ impression of you. After mastering this skill, practitioners can improve their voice control, making their voice loud without harshness, soft without dullness, fast without chaos, slow without dispersing. It allows for easier learning of foreign languages and makes spoken words more convincing and songs more melodious. When fully mastered, practitioners can produce human voices of different ages and genders, even mimicking the sounds of all creatures. (Brother, please, don’t talk anymore, I’ll melt away.)]
"Great, everything I want is still there!"
Li Peifeng glanced at the number "6" in the lower right corner of the wheel for the number of draws, nodding in satisfaction.
He was eager to draw just a moment ago, mainly worried that the system update might reset these original rewards in the lottery wheel, replacing them with other things. Now seeing that the rewards hadn’t changed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
[Please check the update announcement for details of the new version.]
The system prompted again in front of him. Li Peifeng gave it face and didn’t draw immediately but instead brought up the so-called update announcement to check.
[Congratulations again to the host for passing the assessment. At this time, the host should also have some recognition of the system’s existence.]
"Sorry, not at all!"
Li Peifeng read on expressionlessly.
[In the novice task, the host has shown through actions that men are willing to be supported. Now, it’s time to try enabling women to have the willingness and capacity to support men. Lead females to break through societal constraints, bravely awaken themselves, and realize the rational construction of free and equal gender relationships!]
"Sorry, I don’t understand!"
[Principle addition one: Besides encouraging women to offer or spend on your behalf, you should also cultivate and persuade the females around you to have the capability and mindset to support men.]
"How to cultivate? How to persuade? Make them earn money and then give it to me?"
[Principle addition two: If the host discovers malicious events of gender inequality or discrimination around them, they should stand up for justice and uphold fairness!]
Li Peifeng gasped, "Uphold fairness? What fairness? Why can’t it be fairness for women? System, this is blatant gender discrimination!"
[Goal restated: Please change the stereotype in society that ’men earn money to support families, women are beautiful as flowers.’ Make men willing to be supported, make women willing and capable of supporting men through action, and spread this concept worldwide to awaken more of humanity towards genuinely equal gender relationships!]
"Listening to your words is more enlightening because I hear less!"
[Application permissions have been upgraded, please explore the changes yourself.]
[...]
More than two minutes passed, and Li Peifeng finished reading the entire update announcement, leaning back in his chair in doubt, lost in thought.
This system update was confusing; the original rules hadn’t changed, but two bewildering principles were added.
Previously, the only principle was to guide women to give or spend money for him, rewarding him with a lottery opportunity every 50,000.
Now there were two more principles; one was to cultivate the women around him to accept the idea of men being supported and have enough economic ability?
"In other words, I have to make them earn money, then figure out how to get them to give me their money? That’s roughly what it means, right?"
Li Peifeng wasn’t sure, so he asked the system hopefully and, perhaps due to a permission upgrade, unexpectedly received an affirmative response.
[Correct.]
As for the second principle, it was easier to understand. Malicious events related to gender discrimination... like in some regions, family gatherings don’t let women sit at the table to eat?
"Damn, I haven’t seen that!"
With a serious expression, Li Peifeng racked his brain for a while but couldn’t think of any gender discrimination incidents against women around him, and he hadn’t seen a case where women weren’t allowed at the dining table.
His hometown in a small northeastern county didn’t have such bad habits. Perhaps a decade ago, such phenomena existed in rural areas. But now, if any man dared to say such a thing, all the women present would flip the dining table.
"No, wait, what about the rewards?"
Li Peifeng read the update announcement again and suddenly realized an important fact he hadn’t noticed.
"How to complete these two new principles specifically? What are the rewards if completed? What are the penalties if not?"
[Please explore on your own.]
Explore on my own? If I can’t find out, does that mean I don’t have to complete them or face penalties?! Is the system so kind?
Just when Li Peifeng was happy, a flash of inspiration hit him, and he thought of another serious problem concerning his life, causing his heart to race.
"Right... what about the tasks? Since I’m now an official host, are there no more tasks?"
[Please explore on your own.]
"Understood!"
Li Peifeng clenched his fists tightly, throwing a strong punch into the air, suppressing his laughter, and nodding in agreement.
"I also feel that I am already a mature host. There’s no need for you to assign tasks as you did before, forcing me to complete them or die if not. It’s unnecessary; we can discuss anything between us! There’s nothing we can’t talk about!"
"We’re definitely the best and purest partners. I completely understand your purpose, and I will uphold your principles, fulfill your goals, and deeply study your central ideas. To fight for a world with truly free and equal gender relations as the ultimate goal..."
As he spoke, Li Peifeng couldn’t help but stand up, becoming increasingly impassioned, and finally smiled.
But since it was already dawn, with the two girls next door asleep, he could only suppress laughter and try to laugh quietly.
At this moment, he finally understood what the novel described as a ’sinister laugh’ really was.
It was a joyful giggle to the extreme, afraid of being caught, thus suppressed to the extreme, resulting in a sneaky laugh,
"Hehehehehe~ Delightful!"
"A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he always stay beneath others?! "
"From now on, I, Li Peifeng, will never be weaker than others! All depends on my own hard work!"
Li Peifeng, satisfied, beckoned again:
"So, system friend, let’s draw the lottery!"
