188 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

Chapter 188: Accepting the Mission Su Qi, having calmed down, watched as Lu Ran walked out of the room, feeling something was definitely off. Even if she was afraid of close encounters, she was inherently a boy at heart and shouldn't be this panicked! Then she heard the System inform her: "Host, because you are wearing clothing not provided by this system, you have triggered the 'timid as a mouse' debuff." Su Qi: ??? Why am I wearing other clothes? She lifted the blanket and found herself in a pair of hospital patient pants. When did this happen, and how had she not noticed? "The host's mother put them on you while you were asleep," the System explained. Su Qi was stunned. Did she really sleep so soundly? She hadn't even reacted when her pants were changed. As for why Lu Ran dressed her in patient pants, the reason was simple: they were in a hospital. Anyone who’s been hospitalized knows that hospital sheets, even in superior wards, are laundered and reused, and it’s uncertain how many people have slept in them. Lu Ran, considering Su Qi’s condition and for her own good, bought a pair of patient pants for her. It was Su Qi's first time wearing patient pants, and it felt odd, like something soft was inside, quite uncomfortable. She noticed a pair of slippers on the floor and slipped them on. As she stood, the strange sensation disappeared. Sitting back on the bed, the soft warm feeling returned. What’s going on? After repeating this a few times, Su Qi realized the problem wasn’t with the pants but inside her underwear. She decided to check it herself. She felt something cottony that didn’t belong. With a gentle tug, she pulled out a strip of cloth from the back of her underwear. The System watched silently as its host removed a sanitary pad from behind. For some reason, this scene reminded it of drawing the Thunder God while playing Genshin Impact last night. With that thought, it wanted to play the game again but lamented that its phone was left at home by the host, rendering it a sad tale. Unaware of the System’s thoughts, Su Qi was examining the object she pulled out: It was long, soft, bulging, with tiny wings on the sides and a trace of blood in the middle. Wasn't this an item only girls used—the infamous "little angel"? Recalling pulling this out of her underwear, Su Qi felt overwhelmingly complex emotions. After all, she was originally a boy, and possibly due to her father’s influence, instinctively felt ashamed of such feminine items. During college, watching Wang Dong Xu buy sanitary pads for his girlfriend and listening to Wu Wei's teasing, Su Qi never said a word, but internally sided with Wu Wei. Perhaps this was karma. She never dreamt that one day she would be the one using such things. While Su Qi was lost in thought over the pad. "Host, you should put it back on," the System suddenly suggested. While Su Qi was still bewildered, the System added, "The enemy will arrive on the battlefield in eight seconds!" Puzzled by "the enemy," Su Qi felt a surge of heat below. She hurried to the bathroom! When she returned from the bathroom, the little angel she’d held earlier had disappeared. Blushing, she thought about how she had, under the System’s guidance, managed to place the little angel correctly, and felt utterly embarrassed. Just as she sat back on the bed, she remembered there was an important matter to address—the debuff was still unchecked. Recalling the debuff from that day and the unprecedented experience it brought, Su Qi shivered. She certainly didn’t want to relive a 2v1 situation. Even thinking about it made her waist ache. Hastily, she checked this debuff. ‘Timid as a mouse: As the name suggests, with this buff, the person becomes extremely timid and sensitive.’ Seeing this buff, Su Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew the usual her wouldn’t be this scared. Though her body was weak and she couldn't win in fights, aside from crying when hit before age 7, she never cowered despite losing battles. However, upon careful review, Su Qi noticed a flaw in this debuff. She asked: "Why is there no duration?" "Host, this debuff was specially extracted for you through the main system's backend. It is perfect for this mission! During this mission, as long as you wear clothes not provided by this system, the debuff will persist!" the System whispered mysteriously. Its hushed tone made Su Qi anxious. Could their conversation actually be heard by the main system administrator? If so, this system was hardly humane! She was a bit confused, though. With this debuff, she couldn’t help but tremble when facing her father. How was she supposed to increase affection points? It seemed like guessing her thoughts, and in an almost sage-like tone, the System said: "For a dad who dotes on his daughter, nothing is worse than having her fear him!" Hearing the System’s words, Su Qi felt like it secretly read shady novels behind her back. Her father? A doting parent? Impossible! Just as she thought this, the System's voice came through: "Host, after your father saw the wound on your arm, the completion of the doting father mission increased by three points!" This reminder made Su Qi notice the mark on her left arm. It was so gruesome that her heart nearly leaped out! "Host, calm down. It's fake!" the System assured her, and she saw that the menacing mark peeled off and reattached as usual. As always, it defied logic. Seeing this scene, Su Qi sighed in relief. Rubbing her chest that had risen with tension, its warmth made her feel at ease. Looking at the wound again, no wonder it was so exaggerated. How could such a gory effect show through clothes? "I remember it did hurt then too. I thought I had drawn it myself," Su Qi said. The System retorted, "Host, it did hit you. I just blocked the damage using this route." Hearing its sulky tone warmed Su Qi's heart. She felt that the System was becoming more considerate. Little did she know, the System was merely being petty. If she knew, she would definitely point out that this was grade-school-level anger! She checked the mission and saw that the doting father stat indeed increased as it said, now at (83/120). Looking this way, it didn’t seem particularly hard. Checking the mission rewards, there was an outfit with a concentration aura. She asked, "What does the concentration aura reward do?" The System thought for a moment and replied, "Wearing the outfit with the concentration aura allows the host and those around you to enter a state of focus, increasing study efficiency." Hmm, it felt like the reward was a way to study financial strategies. How much did the System crave money! Thankfully, the mission wasn’t too challenging, and after thinking it over, Su Qi decided to accept it! Upon accepting, she was astonished to see the doting father progress bar jump to (100/120). What’s happening? How could the mission be almost complete even before she faced her father? This seemed too easy! "Host, it likely happened after your mother discovered your medical record," the System reminded her. Su Qi then recalled that the medical record was always in her bag, and she inadvertently tucked it into a book while packing. She thought back to earlier. Her father seemed to be holding that large book of hers. Can a medical record really increase it that much? While pondering this, she saw her mother, teary-eyed, walk in. Then, to Su Qi’s amazement, she pulled her into a hug. "Sob, sob, Mommy’s little Qi. From now on, I won’t let you suffer!" Seeing her mother’s expression, Su Qi felt a bit sentimental.
