Chapter 69 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
### Chapter 69: Getting Rich After seeing off Wang Zijin and An Ning, Su Qi planned to continue practicing her new technique. Unexpectedly, she received a call from Wang Dongxu! "Qi-ge, Qi-ge, your game has gone viral!" As soon as the call connected, Wang Dongxu’s excited voice came through. A game? Was he talking about her game, **Blossoms in the Magic City**? It had already been launched; how could it still be so popular? Generally, a game with 5000+ initial sales and a total of 8000+ over time could be considered a good result. The very best games might hit a total of around 19,000+. Was her game subpar? Of course not. It was just because of the times they were in. In this internet era, spending money on a game wasn't as appealing as paying 30 yuan for a membership to download any game online. Su Qi, being a student, understood this. If you could afford it, you’d buy the game. If not, you'd find other means, and that was understandable. But what did it mean that her game went viral? It must’ve gotten popular in a few dorm groups at Su University! Maybe the bunny girl incident from yesterday drew a lot of college students to buy it! Su Qi guessed it might be 40 or 100 people at most. But when she opened the website, she was nearly floored! 4584 sales! 4484, assuming the prior total was 3500, priced at 59 each. Su Qi didn’t pay attention to what Wang Dongxu was saying on the other end. Her mind was filled with the sight of money. Please forgive her for being a practical person. Nearly sixty thousand yuan! Staring at the amount displayed on her slightly worn Huawei phone, Su Qi wanted to laugh out loud! "Qi-ge, Qi-ge! Are you there?" Wang Dongxu, hearing only the sound of screen taps from Su Qi’s side with no response, wondered if her phone had malfunctioned! “Uh-huh, I’m here.” With her eyes twinkling like crescent moons, Su Qi’s face lit up as she unconsciously bobbed her head from side to side, her slightly long hair swaying joyfully. “Qi-ge, did you take the wrong medicine? When you talk to me, don’t use that girly voice. Keep it together. Even though you look great in women's clothes, don’t get addicted!” Wang Dongxu’s words abruptly spoiled her good mood. Though he wasn’t wrong, Su Qi felt a bit irked. Who took the wrong medicine? You and your whole family did! Grumbling internally, she felt better after venting. "Qi-ge, come over this afternoon. Join me and Wu Wei. Besides, help introduce a girlfriend for that single guy. My girlfriend is here too; she wants to meet the currently famous 'Bunny Sister' at Su University." Finally, Wang Dongxu revealed his real intention. Su Qi found it strange. Typically, his calls were about mundane favors like bringing food or picking up parcels. Now it made sense. His talk about the game’s success was just a way to start the conversation. She understood a man’s vanity, having been one herself. Men like to show off, especially in front of their girlfriends. But what’s up with flaunting your girlfriend in front of a single friend? Aren’t you afraid I might bite you in jealousy? "I’ll try. I’ll likely attend the second half of the class! I’ll sit next to you guys if nothing unexpected happens. After all, you guys are the only ones I know!" Su Qi replied. "Great, great. See you this afternoon, Bunny Sister!" Having received Su Qi’s agreement, Wang Dongxu hung up the phone, leaving her disgusted with his parting “Bunny Sister” remark. Opening the school forum, she saw a new pinned post. The title read: "Shocking! The Bunny Sister is actually the author of an Adult Game. Who knew she could be so lewd~” Opening the sensational UC Browser-style headline, she was greeted with a photo of herself giving a backward glance in the library. She had to admit she was quite stunned by her own beauty at first glance. The post contained several candid shots taken from various locations: in elevators, bookstores, and even arguing with security guards in her residential area. Fortunately, the backgrounds in the elevator and security guard photos were blurred. Otherwise, Su Qi feared her residence might have been found, causing her trouble! Interspersed with these photos were descriptions of the journey in creating her game, which she found overly dramatic. At least she hadn’t reached the point of not affording food. The post further included interviews with her roommates, Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei. From their accounts, she realized why her journey seemed so turbulent. Wu Wei: "Qi-ge usually has it tough. Even the college tuition is on loan. Fortunately, Dongxu and I support him!" Wang Dongxu: "Yeah, yeah. Thanks to us, Qi-ge’s dreams have taken flight. Without our support, you wouldn’t have discovered the adorable Bunny Sister!" Interviewer: "How is Su Qi typically in the dorm?" Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei: Blabbing away! Reading their exaggerated descriptions, Su Qi felt a headache coming on. What do you mean, you helped my dreams take flight? When did I ever need your charity? Don’t I always bring food back for you two clowns? The worst part was yet to come. Describing the dorm’s cleanliness, Wu Wei’s account was even more exaggerated. He portrayed himself as the diligent man doing all the chores, making himself out to be the model of filial piety. After reading that part, Su Qi couldn’t help but wonder, “Who is he talking about?” At the end of the post was a link to purchase Su Qi’s game!!! Seeing the comments piling up, most of which supported buying the game to support the group leader, Su Qi felt a sudden rush of gratitude. One comment even mentioned: *"Seeing our group leader looking this cute, I added three more orders out of sheer will!"* Looking at the 3,500+ comment thread, Su Qi glanced through the first 100 comments and stopped scrolling. Just as she was about to close the webpage, a familiar name caught her eye—Yu Shen. Isn't he the group admin who leaked my photo yesterday? At that moment, Du Yu, a junior in the Civil Engineering Department, looked proudly at his eighth fully-populated group chat. He felt a small sense of achievement. Having silently helped the group leader gain so many fans, she must be happy, right? When I tell her about this later, asking for a pair of her worn panties wouldn’t be too much, would it?!!! Initially, Su Qi was upset that he had shared her photo without permission. But then she thought, it’s this darn system to blame. She didn’t like to misplace her anger! And putting herself in his shoes, if she found out that another group leader looked this good in women’s clothing, she might share it in other groups too. She might even boast: "Hey, our group leader cross-dressed. What about yours? Upset yet???" "Isn’t our cross-dressing group leader the cutest?" Understanding this and knowing good fortune often came from misfortune, Su Qi had to admit that despite the system's tricks, the feeling of having money was genuinely wonderful. Clicking the withdrawal option, watching her bank account suddenly fill with 50,000 yuan, Su Qi felt a sense of peace that came from seeing her account back in five-figure territory!
