Chapter 578: Chapter 358: White Hair; You Guys Eat, I’ll Have Instant Noodles (Part 3)
Li Peifeng responded with a grunt: "Remember to give me a bit more dowry when the time comes."
His mind is sharper than a beehive’s, so he didn’t say this just to appear generous. He considered that if Huang Tianxuan gives him money for the medicine, no matter how much, it would still be a transaction; but if it doesn’t involve the medicine, giving more dowry—even if it’s less money—would count as a gift, allowing him a chance at the lottery.
After the lottery system was upgraded, the quality of prizes improved, but the odds of winning decreased. On average, it takes four tries to win once. Each lottery ticket requires a girl to spend fifty thousand for him, meaning he needs her to spend two hundred thousand for him to receive a reward.
In the future, if he draws more, the odds might drop even further. Winning two hundred thousand could turn into winning a million, or even ten million.
But this way, when girls give small gifts one or two times, it won’t allow Li Peifeng to win anything, so he can only rely on a large dowry to get lottery chances.
Up to now, Li Peifeng has grasped the system’s new gameplay. Since he already established relationships with the girls and can’t look for other wealthy women for trouble, he needs to proactively cultivate the girls around him, making them successful, rich, extremely rich!
This way, the girls will be willing and able to spend money on Li Peifeng, allowing him to gain benefits from the system.
This soft-rice system can be renamed to something like "Rich Wife Cultivation Plan" or "Aspiring Wife to a Dragon System," and Huang Tianxuan’s next words confirmed Li Peifeng’s thoughts.
"I was thinking of giving you some Hezhi shares..."
Huang Tianxuan hesitated: "Let’s see later. Once the Strengthening Pill is mass-produced and its market share is determined, I’ll talk to my dad again."
Shares? How much would that be worth?
Li Peifeng’s eyes sparkled: "Give more or less, it’s all about fate. It’s okay if you don’t give anything, because I offered the medicine out of love. I never thought of asking for anything from you. Lovers shouldn’t mind material gains and losses; that’s too vulgar. Tianxuan, you don’t need to mind... but if you do give, how much can you give me?"
Huang Tianxuan thought for a moment: "With medicine support plus the dowry for our marriage, adding these two factors together... ten percent? It’s hard to say now, and I prefer to set up a subsidiary under Hezhi with you, assigning those few drugs to the subsidiary. That way, it suits both you and me... Anyway, rest assured, you won’t lose out."
Confused, you’ve already given him yourself, what is he losing? This scoundrel always ends up winning! Wins twice!
Seeing Li Peifeng’s elated expression, Wu Wenyue secretly frowned but started calculating in her mind. If, one day, Li Peifeng received a fortune from Huang Tianxuan, how would she spend it? Speaking of which, how much is ten percent of Hezhi worth?
"Whoa, ten percent is too much! Such a big enterprise, let me see... wow, it has a market value of thirty-one billion? Ten percent is three billion one hundred million, way too much, way too much, I just brought out a medicine..."
"Shouldn’t lovers also be honest with each other?"
Huang Tianxuan casually interjected a sentence, silencing Li Peifeng while Wu Wenyue pondered: "Your telepathy superpower, Shared Dream, physical changes, increasing charisma and physical strength, the image of easily bench-pressing three hundred kilograms, I remember most importantly are these miraculous drugs you keep producing..."
Huang Tianxuan nodded: "Peifeng, you have too many secrets, but now isn’t it time to explain one or two things to us?"
The existence of the system cannot be disclosed; there’s a rule that if spoken about, the person disappears immediately.
Li Peifeng had no choice but to use his usual excuse of being an alien to try and cover it up, and this time Wu Wenyue and Huang Tianxuan somewhat believed it!
Repetition is a form of strength; say a lie enough times, and it becomes truth. Wu Wenyue couldn’t help but gasp at whatever she was imagining: "You’re from the Narnia world, right? Otherwise, there’s no reason the dream was so vivid, and we couldn’t have a Shared Dream!"
Huang Tianxuan was also dumbfounded, then questioned skeptically: "But I don’t recall that world having such advanced technology or magic that can send one’s soul to reincarnate thousands of light-years away? They don’t seem to have space travel capabilities either."
"Hard to say. In our dreams, it was like that, but the reality in the Otherworld might differ."
"That’s true... but is it a possession? When did it start?"
Wu Wenyue calmly analyzed: "It’s not possession. It feels more like awakening because Xiaofeng’s personality hasn’t changed... I’ve known him for five years, and he’s always been like this, but physically... right, the awakening should have started last October. His body changed, and October was also the first time I dreamed of Narnia!"
Talking and talking, Wu Wenyue was amazed by her own brilliant mind, as if she’d guessed the right answer: "Maybe making those around him dream of that world was a side effect of Xiaofeng’s awakening!"
Huang Tianxuan thought about it and then skeptically shook her head: "This explanation can’t fully account for, if he awakened, bringing physical changes and superpowers... where did his medicine come from? Even he can’t clarify the ingredients, otherwise he should have told me long ago."
The two girls continued discussing seriously, Li Peifeng felt amused but didn’t join the conversation. If asked, Mr. Li would just babble nonsense. Seeing he couldn’t feign ignorance anymore, he made a helpless face saying he had unavoidable reasons, making the two girls curious yet worried; thus, the topic was slightly avoided.
