23. Female Protagonist System Positioning
Han Yixing, as soon as he got up in the morning, looked towards Su Qi’s bed. No way around it, last night unexpectedly hugging his small frame made him a bit sleepless until he fell asleep at 3am.
However, he didn’t see Su Qi’s figure.
Originally he thought Su Qi went to buy breakfast. Until 8 o’clock, Su Qi still hadn’t returned. It made Han Yixing furrow his brows. Where did this kid run off to if not staying in the dorm?
After another half an hour, alarms rang in Wu Wei and Wang Dongxu’s heads. Still no sign of Su Qi.
Wu Wei’s eyes were quite sharp. With one glance he saw Su Qi’s Apple laptop that was placed on the desk was gone.
“My god, could Brother Qi have run away! He even took his laptop!”
Seeing the laptop gone, Wang Dongxu was also surprised for a while. But seeing Su Qi’s clothes and such were still there, he didn’t say anything.
It’s already the 21st century. Who doesn’t know to make a call to ask?
The dreaming Su Qi was startled awake by his own nuclear blast ringtone. Then seeing the caller was Wang Dongxu, he remembered it was seeing that he didn’t return in the morning and calling to inquire.
Looking at the time again, oh man, it was already 8:30. Calling at this time, even if there was class, the eggs and vegetables were already cold.
Sighing at his unreliable roommates, he also pinched his throat to answer the call!
“Brother Qi, where are you? I saw even your laptop was gone and thought you got arrested!” Wang Dongxu’s voice came from the phone.
The so-called getting arrested was a meme. It was said that a veteran anime otaku in Zhejiang City was arrested by the public security organ for translating Japanese doujin.
When scrolling to this TikTok short video, who knows how many players made a crying face and also replied with support.
So Su Qi, this kind of original creator, was also teased by Wang Dongxu and Wu Wei that he would get arrested.
However, the sales platform for Su Qi’s game was a foreign intermediary company. As for the doujins, they were directly submitted to Japan. So it was quite convenient and he didn’t need to worry about the risk of getting arrested.
“Arrest what? I found an apartment. Recently researching how to post photos.”
“Photos, what photos.” Wang Dongxu asked.
“You fake fan, didn’t the group say 3,000 copies and there would be photos, 5,000 copies and Brother Qi promised to dance otaku style, 10,000 copies and it would be a facecam livestream!” Wu Wei’s loud voice came from the phone.
“Brother Qi, you must let us see first after taking them. We’ll help you appraise them.” Wang Dongxu said with a lewd smile. His roommate crossdressing and such was really a bit exciting.
It’s just, why did Su Qi rent an apartment outside. Isn’t this typical of not trusting us?
Su Qi expressed, you even discovered this?
He chatted a bit more with Wang Dongxu. With Wu Liang at school, there probably wouldn’t be too big of waves. He didn’t even agree to Wang Dongxu’s request, but this guy put forward several suggestions.
Things like black stockings, white stockings, blue and white striped stockings, bunny ears, cat ears, brown bear ears. He even told him to unintentionally reveal his absolute territory. To this, Su Qi expressed~ hehe.
You comic reader and me the doujin artist, who has more experience.
Hanging up the phone, Su Qi stretched. Wang Yun in the room had gone to work at some unknown time.
Su Qi wanted to say, you’re really brave to leave me alone in your home like this?
Little did he know, Wang Yun in the morning, seeing Su Qi sleeping sweetly on the sofa, had the same feeling. Isn’t she afraid I’ll find a few guys and put them in the room. When the time comes she won’t even have a place to cry.
Su Qi yawned. After being woken up by Wang Dongxu, he no longer had the urge to sleep again. Sitting up, he began to look at his phone.
I have to say, compared to the male dorm with a bit of foot odor, the girl’s room with a faint fragrance in the air really made Su Qi feel his mood improve by a few points.
First opening the app, he looked at the recent sales situation. Sure enough, as Su Qi expected, it wasn’t bad. The growth had stopped.
From over 3,100 copies yesterday, today it was only over 3,300 copies. Su Qi was quite satisfied with this result. After all, when he first started out, he also played games by freeloading, so he could understand quite well.
Moreover, for a game priced at 69 yuan, today it would also be moved one by one to various websites. And Su Qi knew that on the few websites he knew, downloading with a membership was only 30 yuan a month. Looking at it this way, the high and low was clear.
So Su Qi was certain that the value of 5,000 was unlikely!
He opened the QQ group again and started a day of group watering activity.
As a result, a group was banned in the morning. Fortunately, the group administrators were quite familiar with this kind of operation. They quickly pulled another one, and opening the group announcement, there was a warning in big font.
Please do not send game CG screenshots to the QQ group. Please do not send inappropriate pictures. Please respect core values. Thank you. Otherwise you will know the meaning of rights.
To this, the group friends all expressed, mute warning.
Power made the dog administrators gradually lose their way.
Su Qi looked at the players’ chats. As an ADV game, the later stage labyrinth plot made some moe fans quite confused. At this time, some big shots came to teach, and among them were no lack of joking pictures like “Daddy loves you”.
The group was harmonious with descendants, sharing the scene of their later years.
But the most hotly debated topic was still Su Qi’s crossdressing photos. The group friends all expressed wanting to see the group owner crossdress. Since he promised the group friends ten pictures, Su Qi wanted to see the opinions of this group of people.
As a result, he found that if a thousand people watched Harry Potter, there would be a thousand Harry Potters. The distribution of opinions was very chaotic.
There were even people with bad taste wanting him to cosplay Feng Jie, making Su Qi appalled.
After careful consideration, Su Qi designed a webpage. On the webpage, each group friend could choose 3 characters. The top ten would be the targets Su Qi would cosplay!
Designing this webpage was relatively simple. In order to make the webpage run faster, Su Qi generously bought an accelerated service for 150 yuan/month.
Otherwise, browsing this webpage would seem very laggy, like browsing certain webpages that required paid VPN.
At 12 noon, he finally edited it. After testing that there were no problems, he posted it in several major QQ groups. Seeing the group constantly sending out “the group owner, the group owner wants to crossdress”.
How come Su Qi suddenly felt a bit embarrassed!
Just then, a familiar voice came!
Ding! Detecting that the host is about to crossdress, as a qualified female protagonist, how can you disappoint the fans! Now issuing a branch mission—Female Protagonist Debut.
As a well-known female protagonist, the first thing is popularity. Take this opportunity to fire your first shot and let you appear on the screen!
Mission Description: Satisfy all host group friends with the host’s crossdressing photos, achieving a 110% completion rate.
Mission Reward: Luck +1
Failure Penalty: Frivolousness value +20
Seeing the mission issued by the system, Su Qi felt a bit speechless and also a bit helpless. Why were there so many points every time this system issued a mission?
First of all was this dubious female protagonist system. It first got his gender wrong and inexplicably turned him into a female.
Moreover, looking at this mission, it clearly felt like making him a celebrity! What does it have to do with being a female protagonist?
“This system is a female protagonist system, not a celebrity nurturing system. Please be aware, host.” The system’s voice came.
“So I want to ask, what exactly is the purpose of this system?” Su Qi retorted.
“Everyone has an ideal character they want to become in their hearts. This system is to help the host become an ideal ‘female protagonist’ in your heart!” The system’s voice was as calm as ever like an ancient well.
Hearing the female protagonist system’s answer, Su Qi was quite satisfied. Except for going against science, this female protagonist system could also be considered a service industry, although there was only himself in the industry chain.
But thinking like this, in less than two seconds, Su Qi suddenly discovered a problem.
The system just said to become the female protagonist I idealize. Su Qi recalled the female characters in his works, and the miserable ending pictures of those characters. No way, no way~
“Wait, you mean your female protagonist positioning is based on my own definition of female protagonists.” In this hot summer, Su Qi couldn’t help but shiver. How come it felt a bit chilling?
“Yes.” Answering Su Qi was the system’s cold voice.
And with this voice, Su Qi was petrified.
His mind was filled with the miserable appearances of the female protagonists under his pen.
What is this? Drawing an ox and eventually becoming an ox?
