Chapter 71 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
### Chapter 71: I've Been Tricked This time, the system's service attitude was surprisingly good. At the very least, the clothes didn't just magically appear in my hands without any packaging! Shiina Mashiro's outfit and the accompanying gifts were neatly placed in a plain paper bag, squared off and meticulously arranged, which gave Su Qi some comfort! For the first time in her life, Su Qi was about to wear a piece of clothing worth fifty thousand yuan. She nervously pulled it out of the bag. The fabric was soft, elastic, and highly breathable, without a single loose thread or any flaws to be spotted, impeccable in every way! But Su Qi immediately noticed a significant issue! “System, come out here right now!” Su Qi called out anxiously to the system. "What's the matter?" The system was currently basking in the joy of making money! "How come this outfit doesn't come with any underwear?" Su Qi had turned the contents of the bag inside out at least three times, especially the light and airy purple school skirt of Shiina Mashiro’s uniform! It was Su Qi's first time wearing a JK uniform, and she felt that with such a short skirt, any large stride would definitely cause her to flash someone! And to think this outfit didn’t include underwear? Fine, she could endure that. But why wasn’t there even a bra? “Host, don't get upset. You've watched the anime of ‘Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo’. You should know why Shiina Mashiro is called a ‘pet girl’—she doesn't like feeling constrained, hence she doesn’t wear underwear! This system aims to recreate the anime character’s setting with 100% accuracy! In fact, every outfit has a detailed description; I wrote out everything clearly!” the system explained proudly. “So can you not recreate it in strange ways? Can I still return it?” Su Qi asked, feeling troubled as she looked at the incredibly short skirt. “Host, the money has already been donated to the welfare center; you can't get it back~” the system muttered in a low voice. Su Qi, who would never believe that such a money-loving system had truly donated the money, found herself at a loss. Especially since she had just received a confirmation message thanking her for the donation to the welfare center. Su Qi thought if the system's shop really opened in China, the irresponsible owner would probably be beaten to death! No, to be precise, it would be shut down by the authorities within three days. But now, all she could do was think of a way to remedy the situation. Admittedly, she hadn’t paid much attention when buying the clothes. Su Qi knew that arguing about right or wrong with the system, given its pride in its product, would only result in a deadlock. Su Qi removed the sweatshirt set she was wearing and began to slowly change into Shiina Mashiro's JK uniform. Even though she tried to pull the skirt down as much as possible, its extreme shortness still revealed a hint of scenery when she moved! The most troubling aspect was that it was essentially going commando underneath the skimpy skirt, even without moving, she could feel every stir of the breeze—a highly unsafe yet slightly thrilling sensation! In Su Qi’s game, there were similar shameful scenarios designed to gradually erode the female protagonist’s sense of shame, thus paving the way for her gradual fall into degradation. It was a plot device to drive the story, never something Su Qi imagined she would personally experience! Now, wearing this miniskirt and feeling the chill below, Su Qi could truly empathize with the female protagonist’s psychological state. She could easily place herself in the protagonist's shoes: if she walked outside in this state, she would nervously clench her fists when passing by people, feeling uneasy under their gazes. Yet, if no one discovered her secret, she felt a bizarre thrill! It was a morally conflicted sense of release! Startled by her own thoughts, Su Qi quickly shook her head, attempting to discard the notion of going to school without any underwear! However, another significant problem remained—her chest! Even though her upper body was covered by both a white blouse and a blue uniform, her two proud assets still stood prominently, demanding attention. Su Qi had tried using stockings to wrap them, only to find that the shirt's tailored design made it look bulky and uncoordinated once she tucked in the stockings. Without the stockings, aside from the figure issue, another problem emerged: the friction between her nipples and the shirt caused a ticklish sensation, making it impossible for Su Qi to go out like this! “System, do you have any solutions?” Su Qi reluctantly asked the system again. “Yes, host, but it will cost you~” Su Qi tightened her grip on her cellphone, feeling that the system was about to con her out of more money. “But don’t worry, host, it’s not much!” The system tried to console her, but Su Qi only felt more uneasy. A special offer page appeared on her phone in the Taobao app. Su Qi clicked it open, and a ‘boom’ effect popped up. Then the system’s voice chimed in. “Wow, host, you’re incredibly lucky to get this special deal! I’m taking a significant loss here!” The system feigned a tone of misfortune, making Su Qi roll her eyes. Such theatrics! Had it said this on the first day, Su Qi might have believed it somewhat. But after a few days of interaction, Su Qi realized that while the system could be considerate, it lost all sense when it came to money. If the system ever got a physical form, Su Qi was determined to give it a proper lesson, teaching it that while loving money is fine, swindling money is not. Su Qi looked at the voucher. It stated that the rental shop had opened today. She saw a rental option had appeared in the store! When Su Qi clicked into the rental store, the prices left her astonished. She had thought she’d see three-figure amounts, but most items were in the four-digit range, with some even in the five-digit range. Su Qi clicked on the underwear section, and the cheapest bra was a red one, with a rental price of 5800 yuan per day. “System, what’s going on? I remember the cheapest underwear was about 8500 yuan, so why are the rental prices so high?” “Host, underwear under 30,000 yuan doesn’t have any attribute value. All items in the rental store have special attributes. For example, if you like someone, you can wear this to increase your flirtation level, ensuring an ecstatic experience! Or if you prefer a pure look, this one enhances purity!” The system boasted. Su Qi grasped that the rental shop seemed like an emergency service for unexpected situations. As for liking someone, she thought of Wang Zijing and An Ning, but this wouldn’t excite them. As for men, the very thought made Su Qi shiver. She definitely wanted nothing to do with men! Imagining someone pressing against her made her feel sick. She looked over the rental panties, with the cheapest one costing 8200 yuan per day. Su Qi felt her legs weaken! She switched back to the main store to look for the cheapest panties and bras. The lowest-priced panties were 16000 yuan. “System, what's going on? A few days ago, the cheapest ones were around 8000 yuan! Why the sudden price increase?” Su Qi felt furious, suspecting the system was treating her like a cash cow! “Host, don’t be angry. Those items were sold to my sibling systems, leaving us temporarily out of stock! Besides, the previous host hadn’t transformed, thus the lower quality of the items!” the system explained. The fact that this system had siblings left Su Qi astonished! Thinking about the similar exploitative nature of those systems, she felt a strange sympathy for fellow hosts around the world. Then it dawned on her—would the prices continue to rise? “Given it’s your first time using the rental store, we’re offering a set of ‘Shiina Mashiro’-themed underwear. Originally priced at 19999 yuan a day for the pure cotton underwear and 16666 yuan a day for the pink bra, we’re now only charging you 10000 yuan per day!” The system's sales pitch resembled a live streamer hawking wares, making Su Qi want to know where it learned such odd things. Opening the description page, she read: **Exquisitely Pure Cotton Panties**: Purity +3. Made from ultra-soft, breathable cotton, these snow-white panties enhance the wearer’s purity illusion while inflicting a fascination buff on viewers, increasing their favorability by +1. **Light Pink Bra**: Purity +1, Charm +1, Flirtation +1. Provides a perfect home for your assets, avoiding any chafing regardless of movements, giving a totally encased and cozy feeling! Su Qi looked at the two items and then her bank balance. Sighing, aware that the system was deliberately setting traps, Su Qi felt resigned. Knowing the system was plotting, she felt compelled to step into the trap. What's the alternative? Attend school without underwear? I've been tricked!
