My System Forces Me to Live off Women

Chapter 529: Chapter 341: I’m Already Unmatched in the World (Part 3)

Li Peifeng conducted a brief experiment and made a basic assessment of his recently transformed body.

Overall, the changes were delightful, but still far from allowing him to defy societal rules. A bullet to his head would still kill him, and he’d end up in a box if an RPG hit him.

In a harmonious society, Li Peifeng’s abilities for murder and arson seemed to have no place other than ensuring his health. However, he still had one last prize, which was almost like a bug—this reward was his favorite, making him think that as long as he drew it once in thirty tries, he’d break even.

[Item: Time Reversal. Secret Technique of Legendary Mage House Maureen from the AQ02 Magic Plane. When you open the scroll, it will vanish into ash, and you will return thirty hours earlier. (Child, go mend your regrets, go redo the choices you made incorrectly. Although you will have regrets in the future, although you will still make wrong choices in the future.)]

"Where should I put you?"

Li Peifeng valued the yellow parchment scroll in his hand immensely; he couldn’t help but do so, as it was almost like having an extra life.

Initially, upon acquiring Time Reversal, Li Peifeng thought of using it for trading stocks or buying lottery tickets. After all, Wu Wenyue’s billion-dollar bride price put considerable pressure on him, but soon Li Peifeng felt that it was immature to use it at this point.

Since Time Reversal was a consumable item, he could only use it once. Buying lottery tickets was too uncertain, and he didn’t dare gamble on it. As for trading stocks, even though he had 4 million in capital, it wasn’t much. Even if successful in predicting market trends, he might not earn much. So, in the long run, it’s better to save it; if he ever made a mistake, he could have a remedy for his regrets.

But if he was really pressed by money in the future, Li Peifeng could only use it for cash conversion. According to his plan, once he saved a capital of ten to twenty million and patiently waited, if any major event occurred causing global financial market fluctuations, he would note the rise and fall of the international futures or forex market that day, then use Time Reversal to go back thirty hours and capitalize on the foresight advantage to earn a few small goals easily!

But that’s for later; for now, Li Peifeng wasn’t in a hurry to use it, so he had to store it away. Initially, he locked the parchment scroll in his drawer but later felt it was unsafe. If his parents discovered and opened it out of curiosity, he wouldn’t even have a place to cry.

"Better put it in the suitcase! A password, yes, the suitcase has a password!"

Just as Li Peifeng put away the scroll and closed the suitcase, he heard the anti-theft door open. He knew it was his parents coming home and quickly went out to greet them.

"Mom, Dad, did you finish installing the cabinet?"

"Yes."

Li Qiyuan and Yu Huizhi looked weary, the former glanced at him without speaking, focused on changing clothes and shoes, while the latter showed some concern for the son who had just returned from afar: "How is your head? Still hurts?"

The fake car accident, wise as Old Li had already sensed something, but naive Huizhi was still in the dark.

"Much better. My memory seems to have mostly recovered."

"Then..." Yu Huizhi frowned slightly: ’Do you remember all four of them?’

Li Peifeng chuckled: "Oh, yesterday I went to the Capital and visited my mentor and Manning. Let’s not talk about it; I’ll cook for you."

"Go ahead." Li Qiyuan handed him a bag of groceries without hesitation: "Cook quickly, I’m hungry."

"Got it!"

Li Peifeng planned to use this dinner to test the power of the newly acquired "Heart of Cooking," so he took the vegetables into the kitchen.

Washing meat, washing vegetables, slicing, dicing...

Li Peifeng cooked as usual but seemed more focused than before, only he knew it was different, not the same as before.

"This pork belly is nice and fatty, perfect for braising!"

He was now familiar with the ingredients, understanding their quality and how to combine them for the best taste.

"Do you need help?"

"No need."

Li Qiyuan entered the kitchen to offer help, but Li Peifeng waved it off, fearing any assistance would affect the performance of his "Heart of Cooking."

However, Li Qiyuan didn’t leave, instead asking, "Has the insurance money for the car accident been credited to you?"

"Yes."

"How much?"

"...A few thousand bucks, I didn’t check closely."

"Hand over your phone, I’ll check for you?"

Li Peifeng coughed lightly, focusing on cooking without comment. Though he was tempted to test the effect of "Social Expert" to see if he could deceive his parents, continuing the lie of the already exposed car accident was unnecessary.

"Shame on you, I wonder what you’ll do next!"

Confirming his suspicions, Li Qiyuan laughed coldly, crossed arms, and left the kitchen to chat with Yu Huizhi in the living room.

Yes, they chatted about their son Fengfeng’s remarkable acting performance.

"Li Peifeng, how could you do this?"

Upon learning the truth, Yu Huizhi was indignant and hurried to the kitchen, calling his full name, as if seeking an explanation.

"Oh, they’ve realized it’s fake. Mom, I’m negotiating with them one by one about how to solve it, don’t worry."

"What do you mean by don’t worry? How do you plan to solve it?"

"I’ll let you know once I have it sorted out, trust me!"

After saying this, Li Peifeng focused on cooking, ignoring his parents.

Over half an hour later, four dishes and one soup were finally ready, but Li Peifeng didn’t immediately announce it. Instead, he entered his bedroom, retrieved a small porcelain bottle, returned to the kitchen, and poured three glasses of juice, putting one Purple Ginseng and He Shou Pill into two of them.

"It’s not dissolving, huh?"

Li Peifeng observed and stirred with a spoon to disperse the pill into the juice.

These two glasses were naturally for his parents so they could enjoy having a healthy body. But fearing that stating it directly, Old Li and Old Yu might suspect the legitimacy of this unknown medication and refuse to consume it, he wanted to let them experience its effects before explaining, once they knew the benefits, they’d naturally understand the importance of regular consumption.

"What did you put in?"

But Li Peifeng didn’t notice Li Qiyuan, in the dining room, saw him add to the juice with peripheral vision while browsing his phone, bewildered, until Li Peifeng came over with the juice.

"Dad, thirsty? Drink up. Call Mom over, we can start eating."

"..."

Li Qiyuan slowly put down his phone, glancing at the clearly darkened orange juice, then at the composed Li Peifeng, his expression slowly turned fearful, and his tone was slightly trembling: "Son... you, you wouldn’t, right?"
