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

### Chapter 197: Danger! Lu Ran couldn't be happier. What's more delightful than having your daughter, clad in adorable bunny pajamas, approach your bed at ten in the evening with a white pillow in hand and timidly ask: "Mom, can I sleep with you?" Instead of directly answering, Lu Ran gently embraced Su Qi into her arms. Inhaling the subtle fragrance from her daughter, Lu Ran initially thought of narrating a long-lost fairy tale to lull her to sleep, reminiscing about her childhood. Unexpectedly, Su Qi nestled into her arms and fell asleep in no time. The continuous sound of thunderstorm outside marked Su Qi's every move deeper into her embrace. Gently stroking her daughter's back and watching her slowly relax, Lu Ran felt that all her dreams of having a daughter since marriage were completely fulfilled. Although Su Qi's hobbies were somewhat peculiar, who wouldn't love such a sweet, soft, and affectionate daughter? Lu Ran had always been puzzled: Why are there so many girls who ended up spoiled by their parents? Seeing Su Qi sleep so soundly now, Lu Ran thought, if Su Qi hadn't suffered from that illness, perhaps she too would become one of those foolishly doting parents! --- **Morning** Believe it or not, Su Qi was awakened by her overheated phone stuffed in her pajama pocket. Puzzled, she wondered how a mere 10% battery managed to last a whole night of playing Genshin Impact. At that moment, even through her bunny pajamas, she could feel the phone burning hot! Su Qi placed the phone aside, stretched widely, and realized she had a crick in her neck. Trying to discern the cause, Su Qi felt the two oversized bunny ears on her pajama hood. With such large objects underneath her, of course, it would cause issues! Sometimes, Su Qi thought, the design of girls' clothing is indeed impractical. This bunny pajama was cute, yes, But with its short tail on the rear and long hat with bunny ears, how could anyone sleep comfortably? Facing the challenge, Su Qi quickly figured out the right sleeping position upon observing her mom, who was wearing an equally cute frog pajama with a frog headgear, sleeping on her side. Hmm, it was the first time Su Qi realized her mom would wear such embarrassing outfits. To think you are this kind of mom, and this very pajama was hers too! Su Qi quietly got out of bed, careful not to disturb her mother. With her remarkable flexibility, she performed a few minor stretches to feel better. At this moment, she compared the pajamas and discovered the clothes given by the system were genuinely more comfortable. In just one day, she was already yearning to wear them. However, to complete the task, Su Qi felt she should endure this temporary discomfort. After all, failing the task meant facing a penalty she deemed unnecessary, given the month-long duration of Su Qi's plan wouldn't take that long to execute. But she never thought she would willingly want to opt for the system's clothing one day. Recollecting when she used to resist it fiercely at the start. Time indeed changes one's perception, Su Qi mused to herself. Little did she expect the system to chime in, "Host, it's not the passage of time that altered your perception. It's your improved ability to earn that has!" Su Qi was momentarily taken aback, is that true? The system continued, "Host, if you only have 50,000 in savings, you'd think my clothes are expensive. But when you have 500,000, you'd see them as luxury items. With 50 million, you wouldn't even care!" Su Qi couldn't help agreeing with the system's insight. She just entertained the idea of buying the system's pajamas. She'd always obtained her clothes passively. Realizing this, Su Qi suddenly felt like someone who just reaped riches from a recently demolished building. Come to think of it, how much do I actually have now? With my WeChat and Alipay bank cards frozen, I have no clue about my actual finances. Estimating for a bit, Su Qi thought she at least had around 400,000, given how much profit was earned from her setup. Curious, she turned to the money-loving system. The system promptly replied: "Host currently holds a total asset of 2,145,328." What? Hearing the system's report, Su Qi was astounded—already over 2 million? How did it happen so fast? Does everyone on Bilibili have this much money? In fact, Su Qi's understanding was flawed, as Bilibili's tipping was merely one aspect. The game had also gained traction due to that video. Su Qi's dance video not only went viral domestically but was madly shared overseas, especially in Japan. Given their affinity for ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) culture, they naturally loved anything related to "otaku." With Su Qi's magical special effects and stunning looks taking them by storm, they experienced a full-blown immersion breaking through the boundaries of the second dimension. However, without Bilibili in Japan, they couldn't tip Su Qi directly, so they opted for another way to repay her. They decided to buy the game Su Qi developed. Initially expecting a typical sleazy game, they were shocked once downloaded. Despite the language barrier, the universally stunning CG (computer graphics) transcended linguistic limitations! Each image was impeccably crafted, with ingenious angles always capturing someone's exact "kink." Upon completing the game and learning the developer, artist, and programmer was all Su Qi herself, they were astounded. After all, which guy wouldn't be captivated by a cute girl with a pure appearance but possessing ample sensuous elements at heart? Moreover, when mentioning female manga artists, the common perception is that they use themselves as subject material. Hence, Su Qi's popularity soared even more. To better enjoy Su Qi's game, several industrious groups even created a Chinese version, though this faced resistance from Japanese fans. Downloading a translated version would imply not supporting Su Qi! Many Japanese otakus rushed to consult their bilingual dictionaries, fervently translating. This was pure dedication to understanding raw content. In essence, Su Qi's game was selling like hotcakes in Japan, and as of today, since the video release, if Su Qi would check her game's total sales account, she'd find an incredible 23,059 units sold. Excluding the initial 5,000 copies, the earnings totaled over a million after Bilibili tax deductions and past savings, reaching as high as 2,145,328. A side note, Su Suyang, upon discovering Su Qi's video production, invested a whopping 2 million to knock his mom down from the pedestal and finally won the top spot. Of course, after being discovered by Su Qi and receiving a pounding, that story is for another time. Listening to the system's complete breakdown of cash sources, especially hearing about the game's huge success, Su Qi's heart skipped a beat. Having researched extensively, she knew explosive popularity in such an adult game could attract unwelcome attention from relevant authorities if profit margins spiked. Perhaps due to her "Timid Mouse" aura, Su Qi now felt as if a giant red word hovered above her head—Danger!
