My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 71 - 69: One After Another

"Thank you, Professor Zhao!"

The plump and thin passerby walked away happily with the photo, and before leaving, he said to Li Peifeng...

"Sorry for the misunderstanding earlier, I didn’t realize you were actually Professor Zhao’s student."

"Thanks a lot, brother!"

Who the hell is "brother" with you? Just acquaintances from peeing in the same place!

Li Peifeng smiled without speaking.

Other web literature authors, including some top-level writers, also jumped in when they saw someone successfully taking a photo with Zhao Qingge.

"Professor Zhao, I read your interview ’Online Literature is Modern Literature’ before, it was excellent. It’s a blessing for all of us web literature authors that you can legitimize web novels. Um, could we take a photo together?"

"Professor Zhao, your willingness to lower your status to build a web literature critique system from an academic perspective shows your broad vision and generosity. I’m very impressed, so, is a photo okay?"

"Professor Zhao, over here, my work is on display on this wall, could you take a photo with me there? I’ll hang it on my wall when I get back!"

As long as it was a photo, Zhao Qingge would agree kindly, sometimes even chatting a bit more with those authors.

Zhao Qingge’s looks and her status as the leading figure in academic web literature research indeed made her popular among these authors; previously they didn’t start a conversation just because they didn’t dare to.

This group of old men was extremely reserved.

In their minds, they had over eighty thousand thoughts when they saw a beautiful woman, yet didn’t dare to say a word.

But if someone led the way, they too dared to toss their hair back, pat their big bellies, and passionately shout:

"A man blossoms at forty, after my bloom, all other flowers perish!"

Meanwhile, Wang Wei had completely become part of the background. The earlier mention of matchmaking clearly wasn’t appropriate to bring up again now, so he smiled and turned away.

"Director, shall we go eat?"

Once he left, Li Peifeng jumped out, acting as carefree as if he was completely carefree.

Are you happy about ruining my matchmaking?

Zhao Qingge glanced at him, "Let’s go then."

...

"Remember to send me the meeting records later."

"OK, OK!"

With no meetings scheduled in the afternoon, after eating, Li Peifeng returned directly to his room.

He was in an unusually good mood, but it wasn’t much related to Zhao Qingge. It was because both times he drew in the bathroom, he didn’t get empty-handed, and he obtained the (Transformed) Strong Stone Liver · Courage of a Fighter!

Sorry, I just want to write my life away, there’s no chance I won’t write to death here!

Code words, furiously code words, I want dual streams too!

Write for the male audience! Female and male audience, double-pronged!

Lift me up, my intention is to do cultural construction for a strong nation through public tools, to break cultural barriers with web literature, to build a community with a shared future for mankind! To ignite my godly fire as a web literature master with my own two hands!

After the transformation, Li Peifeng, in a bathroom faintly smelling of feces, was full of ambition, turning into a relentless work machine.

This liver and courage transformation indeed had the effects as described by the system, adjusting emotions and making one feel happy.

The effects were immediate, you could say.

The somewhat lackadaisical and defeated Li Peifeng immediately rejuvenated in the bathroom.

So the scene occurred where Li Peifeng was boasting enthusiastically to the plump and thin passerby, leaving the two of them in a daze.

As for the other reward, it was a magic item Li Peifeng had heard about in his dreams of the land of Narnia.

[Oath of Faith].

Its creator, the legendary mage "Maureen Bell," had an unsettling nickname: "Infatuated Maureen."

If she were in the real world, she might have been called a "simp" or "backup."

Behind the nickname was just a story of unrequited love.

As a researcher at Kama Jackson Magic Academy, Maureen Bell, in her youth, greatly admired a human warrior, pursuing him for a long time, but he did not love her and turned to marry someone else, sternly telling Maureen not to harbor any illusions and that he would not be kind if she kept pestering.

This left Maureen heartbroken, but unwilling to give up, she, a mage, began researching mind-controlling magic that could make someone love her.

Due to world rules, the land of Narnia didn’t have mind-controlling magic that could enslave or hypnotize. The freedom of will for living beings was supreme, and such magic resided only in the fantasies of mages, so almost no one thought highly of Maureen’s research back then.

But perhaps it was love, or maybe hatred, that drove her. Maureen spent ten years finally successfully developing the Oath of Faith.

With this research, she became the youngest professor at Kama Jackson Magic Academy. The Empire awarded her a title, honors and flowers came pouring in, and she was ranked among the top three most promising mages.

All mages marveled and praised, but Maureen herself wasn’t satisfied.

Because the Oath of Faith didn’t meet her expectations, it still couldn’t make that warrior love her. At most, when she confessed her love repeatedly, he would not personally force her away with a sword, but instead run off, helplessly calling for his wife.

Then his wife, that legendary ranger, would angrily set dogs on her and send her off with a bow and arrow.

Due to the significant and unpleasant nature of the matter and the high status of the three involved, Kama Jackson Magic Academy intervened to mediate.

Perhaps disheartened, Maureen removed the warrior’s name from the Oath of Trust and promised not to get entangled further. She even consigned the Oath of Trust to be auctioned.

Eventually, the item was bought at an exorbitant price by the largest merchant group owner in Narnia, who reportedly used it to ensure he wouldn’t be deceived by business partners.

Perhaps, this is the most correct way to use the Oath of Trust.

"But this thing doesn’t seem to be of much use to me. You can only write one name at a time, and I have no intention of going into business with anyone..."

Li Peifeng pulled out the Oath of Trust from his pocket and pondered over it.

It looked similar to the Breath of the Nether Sea, not overtly magical in appearance, resembling a yellowed letter, with a material that felt like both gold and iron, hard yet foldable like paper.

Initially, Li Peifeng thought the Oath of Trust, like the secret medicine, the Ninth Cycle Essence Consolidating Strengthening Pill, would just be left to gather dust at the bottom of his chest, but not long after, he suddenly felt it was a godsend for him.

"Find a pharmaceutical company boss to develop the Essence Consolidating Strengthening Pill, write his name on the Oath of Trust, and the plan is settled!"

"Whoa, isn’t that how money comes in?"

Li Peifeng slapped his thigh, feeling excited about the brilliance of the plan.

The Essence Consolidating Strengthening Pill is a product by the system, definitely effective. He’s always wanted to find someone to develop it for mass production and profit but was worried about being easily taken advantage of due to a lack of power. If he provided a sample, others might just develop the ingredients and kick him out, leaving him with nothing.

But with the Oath of Trust, he didn’t have to worry about the other party doing such a thing. This magical item had stronger constraints than a contract, and there were no loopholes to exploit.

As long as Li Peifeng wrote the other party’s name, he wouldn’t have to worry about entrusting the wrong person. The other party would definitely offer a suitable price.

"Just hope the Essence Consolidating Strengthening Pill can be mass-produced!"

Li Peifeng carefully placed the Oath of Trust into his suitcase, but the phone rang. Looking at the screen, it was Huang Tianxuan.

"Moshi moshi?"

"You’re at the entrance of the scenic spot? Okay, I’ll come out to meet you right away!"

Li Peifeng tidied up his appearance and rushed out.

"Bang~"

A dozen seconds later, the door of the neighboring room also opened. Zhao Qingge slowly walked out, poking her head out first to look around.

Hmm, no one.

She stepped up to Li Peifeng’s door and knocked.

"There’s a problem with the manuscript, revise it."

Zhao Qingge’s tone was cold, yet expected no response. Her eyes slightly squinted, she turned and headed towards the elevator.

Passing the lobby, she saw the security guard standing straight and paused.

Zhao Qingge approached and smiled, "Hello, did you see a tall handsome... young man just now?"

The security guard was momentarily stunned, and then nodded, "Yes, I saw him just leaving the hotel."

"Which direction did he go?"

Zhao Qingge added, ’He’s my student, seems like he didn’t bring his phone; I have urgent business with him but can’t contact him now.’

"Really?"

The security guard murmured, "I think I saw him with a phone when he left."

Zhao Qingge smiled, "Maybe it’s out of battery."

The security guard was puzzled, "But the screen was still on."

Zhao Qingge continued smiling, "Maybe you saw it wrong."

"Impossible!"

The security guard widened his eyes, "My eyes are sharp like a hawk’s!"

Zhao Qingge, expressionless, said, "Then it might have just run out of power now."

"..." The security guard inexplicably felt a bit nervous.

"Which direction did he go?"

"That way! Towards the exit!"

The security guard pointed with both hands, "If you hurry, you might still catch him."

"Thank you!"

Zhao Qingge squeezed out the words through her teeth and left quickly.

As the security guard watched her back, he sighed in relief, "With such a presence to find a student? Unlikely! More like catching someone in the act!"

The cleaning lady teasingly said, "Nonsense, they’re just teacher and student. I heard that young man call her mentor before."

"No way!"

The security guard adjusted his cap, eyes wide and shining, "My eyes are sharp like a hawk’s!"
