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

# Chapter 401: System Girl's Little Wish On September 2nd, the gentle sunlight streamed down, hinting at a perfect day ahead. In an apartment on the 15th floor of Lucheng Community, “cat” Wang Zijing felt the warmth of the morning sun and, prompted by the internal clock she had developed from rising early for household chores, she was the first to awaken. Before she even opened her eyes, she caught a whiff of a subtle yet enchanting fragrance. It was soft and natural, unlike the sharpness of perfume, and Wang Zijing instinctively leaned toward the source of this delightful scent. Nodding slightly, Wang Zijing buried her head into the neck of her beloved “fox” in her arms, taking a deep breath. She felt it was indeed the perfect way to start the day. Opening her eyes, Wang Zijing looked at her "fox" partner still nestled in her embrace, deeply asleep, and then glanced to the other side at the “little fox” Xiao Xiao, who was snuggled up with her “rabbit” friend. Despite being the well-versed president of the student council, Wang Zijing couldn't help but feel her cheeks heat up, recalling the madness of the previous night. As for why their names had animal prefixes, Wang Zijing brushed her beloved's "fox" tail, finding it even more adorable than before. However, she thought it was best to wake everyone up before it got too late. An Ning and Xiao Xiao, although not in a deep sleep, began to stir with a few gentle nudges. Su Qi, on the other hand, with her energy levels plummeted to 37%, was like an empty husk. Although she was forcefully rebooted by her three lovers, she could only manage to stay awake for ten seconds before drifting back into slumber. Seeing this, her three partners couldn’t help but smile. Xiao Xiao, in particular, felt immensely satisfied, as she had finally experienced what it was like to take charge the night before. Reflecting on last night, when Sister Su was sweetly and gently teased by her, Xiao Xiao felt as if a door to a new world had been opened. Gently removing the cute “fox” prefix, Wang Zijing carried her beloved in her arms and headed to the bathroom where water was already set. During the holiday, An Ning had redesigned the bathroom, differing from the rectangular bathtub in unit 1507 next door. This apartment featured a circular design. Designed to comfortably fit three people, An Ning could only marvel at the unexpected turn of events as Xiao Xiao clung onto her arm. Luckily, Xiao Xiao's petite frame allowed for four people to squeeze in comfortably. Soon, all four were in the pool, and with Wang Zijing holding Su Qi, the bathtub felt particularly spacious. Xiao Xiao noticed Senior An Ning’s slightly envious gaze towards Senior Zijing and discreetly shuffled closer, her left index finger lightly poking An Ning’s side. Feeling a slight tickle, An Ning turned to see the instigator, Xiao Xiao, blushing as she said, "An Ning, if you don’t mind, you can hold me too!" Hearing Xiao Xiao's offer and seeing her slightly open slender arms, An Ning felt the cuteness was too much to bear, and with a gentle pull, she embraced Xiao Xiao into her arms, expanding the available space in the tub. Midway through their bath, Wang Zijing and An Ning even swapped the adorable “hostages” in their arms. Su Qi, throughout her sleep, had no idea that the bond among her three partners was becoming more harmonious. When Su Qi finally opened her eyes, she found herself back in her familiar dorm room, the change of scenery momentarily making her question if last night had been a dream. However, the dull ache in her waist quickly reminded her it was all too real. Involuntarily, she moved her hands to her waist, feeling as though even her hands were limp and powerless. The soft touch of her hands meeting the silky skin around her waist sent both a tingling sensation and a slight pang of soreness. She pinched her waist slightly, and as the feeling of it breaking apart subsided, Su Qi was suddenly filled with a sense of dread. Her three partners were already quite a handful; she feared what might happen if her fourth, Sister Wang Yun, joined them. Would she end up completely drained, like an empty tube of toothpaste? Shivering at the thought, Su Qi silently vowed to herself that revealing Sister Wang Yun would be the end of her. Just then, the crisp voice of System Girl echoed in her mind. “Host, you were so close to leveling up yesterday, what a pity!” Hearing this, Su Qi felt at a loss. Leveling up was good for the system, but not for her! Unable to ignore it, she quickly checked the system's special interface. She noticed all four metrics had changed: (623 times/28%), (407 times/24%), (489 times/23%), and —(20 times/9%). Looking at these statistics, Su Qi was filled with unease. The numbers were just too terrifying. In a normal game, seeing the first three values alone would mean she had definitely become a plush toy by now. And what worried Su Qi even more was the final metric. She knew all too well that if it reached 10%, some peculiar fetishes could develop. She shuddered at the thought of her already eager partners getting even more excited. No, absolutely not—no tails from now on! Although her partners looked unbearably cute with them, they must be banned going forward. Closing the special interface, Su Qi pulled out her phone to check the stock market. Thankfully, it was a Tuesday, and the market showed little volatility. The small stock she invested in had only seen a slight uptick. At least she didn’t suffer any losses, allowing Su Qi to breathe a sigh of relief. After monitoring for a while, just as she was about to set her phone down, System Girl chirped again: “Host, there’s a game event today with new characters. I’ve found some bugs I want to try out. Can I?” Touched by the system's thoughtfulness in waiting for her to finish her tasks before playing, Su Qi found it endearing. But the content of what it said made Su Qi a bit anxious. Exploiting bugs—wouldn’t she get caught as the account holder? Recalling the lottery records on the game’s webpage—every five-star character and weapon—Su Qi feared they might come for her. Sensing her worries, System Girl chimed in, “Host, I’m not cheating, I’m just exploiting loopholes, nothing illegal!” Relieved by this, Su Qi relaxed a little. Then, out of curiosity, she asked, “System Girl, what would you like to do after you’re revived?” After posing the question, System Girl fell silent, the image of Barbara on screen freezing temporarily before hesitantly replying: “I want to create an interesting game.” Hearing the shy little thing, Su Qi glanced at the screen as three golden items popped up. Perhaps, one day, this little one might just create a truly groundbreaking game. Friendly Reminder: If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing track!
