Super Lewd System

In the bathroom of a rented room in a dilapidated residential area, a showerhead on the wall continuously sprayed water onto a naked man lying on the floor. The man’s name was Ding Shuang, 23 years old. He was an orphan with a younger sister and no home. His sister, Ding Fei, was 19 years old and attending university in G City. Ding Shuang had come to G City to work, both to support his sister’s education and to be closer to her.

Ding Shuang works as a bartender at a bar, which usually starts at 5 pm. She usually gets around by motorcycle and rents a small apartment in an old neighborhood in the suburbs. The landlord’s family lives abroad. When the real estate agent handed over the apartment, they told Ding Shuang that many of the appliances in the apartment hadn’t been replaced, especially the gas system, which was old. They suggested that Ding Shuang have the gas system inspected and replaced after moving in to avoid any accidents.

Ding Shuang didn’t take it seriously, as the previous tenant had moved out less than a month ago and hadn’t reported any problems, so she thought it was minor. Replacing the gas system would also cost a considerable amount of money. Although Ding Shuang’s salary was good, and after deducting rent, her sister’s living expenses, and her own, she still had a fair amount left. She wanted to save some money to buy her sister a car after she graduated and found a job, and she also wanted to buy herself an imported motorcycle. However, in the fourth month after Ding Shuang moved in, the gas system malfunctioned, and she is currently suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.

The moment Ding Shuang collapsed, she knew she had suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Her first reaction was that the joke she’d made years ago had finally come true. The thought of her sister crying in front of her dead body, “Shuang~ Shuang’s dead~,” made her want to laugh out loud, though she couldn’t bring herself to do it. Ding Shuang’s composure stemmed from having once faced death herself.

Eleven years ago in City X, Ding Shuang was 12 years old. Around 2 a.m., he developed a high fever. His parents drove him to the hospital for a checkup, while his grandmother stayed home with him. While waiting at a traffic light, they were rear-ended by a drunk driver in a minivan. The minivan driver and Ding Shuang’s father died at the scene, and Ding Shuang’s mother died in the hospital despite attempts to resuscitate her. Ding Shuang was in critical condition for a day and a night, only regaining consciousness on the third day. His grandmother nearly passed away upon hearing the news. Because the minivan driver was not only drunk but also unlicensed, and the minivan was a total loss, Ding Shuang’s family received no compensation. Their previously relatively well-off family immediately faced hardship.

Ding Shuang’s father is a junior manager at his company, and her mother is an ordinary employee. Neither of them has any siblings, and their only relative is Ding Shuang’s grandmother. Ding Shuang’s grandparents came to the city as children after fleeing famine, and have largely lost contact with their ancestral home. Ding Shuang’s family has virtually no relatives in X city. The company where Ding Shuang’s parents work raised funds for her once, and she received some insurance compensation, but this is insufficient for the future of 12-year-old Ding Shuang and 8-year-old Ding Fei.

When Ding Shuang was 15, her grandmother suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized. The hospitalization cost a lot of money and left Ding Shuang with considerable debt. After six months of treatment, her grandmother passed away. Before she died, her grandmother kept calling out Ding Shuang and Ding Fei’s nicknames. Ding Shuang cried for ten minutes before forcing herself to stop, knowing that her younger sister would have to rely on herself from now on. With the help of society, Ding Shuang and Ding Fei buried their grandmother. Ding Shuang stopped attending school after her grandmother’s hospitalization and entered the workforce after her grandmother’s passing.

Ding Shuang was somewhat stubborn and unwilling to owe money, so she sold her house. She was almost scammed by the buyer, but perhaps a final pang of conscience led the buyer to only rip her off, helping her pay off her debts instead of taking the house and driving her to despair. Ding Fei’s homeroom teacher learned of the siblings’ situation and offered to adopt them, but Ding Shuang refused. Finally, the teacher approached the school principal, who found a room for the siblings in the staff dormitory and waived all of Ding Fei’s tuition and fees. Ding Fei excelled academically and eventually gained admission to a top university in G City.

Ding Shuang worked many jobs to support herself and Ding Fei, eventually landing a job as a waitress in a bar. Ding Shuang strongly disliked drunk driving, and whenever she saw someone driving under the influence at the bar, she would immediately call the police. She did this very discreetly and was never discovered. The bar owner, an older bartender, thought Ding Shuang had a good image and demeanor, and mentored her to become a bartender. After Ding Fei went to G City for her studies, Ding Shuang followed her there.

Ding Shuang lay naked on the ground, feeling his thoughts growing increasingly blurred. “Feifei, your brother is going to find Mom, Dad, and Grandma. You’ll have a hard time all by yourself. You must live well. Your brother bought a high-value insurance policy from Brother Yu; millions of dollars are all yours. Live happily. Feifei, Feifei.”

Ding Shuang slowly closed his eyes, as if he could see his parents and grandmother waving to him. “Mom and Dad, Grandma, although I haven’t been able to stay with Feifei all the time, I think I’m still a good older brother.”

Just before Ding Shuang’s consciousness faded into darkness, an electronic voice rang in her mind: “XXXX system loading complete. Abnormal host condition detected, diagnosed as carbon monoxide poisoning, suspected suicide! Immediately inject a large amount of oxygen into the host’s body!”

“The following task is issued! Please cease your suicidal behavior and immediately move away from the gas leak location! Reward: One Super Lottery Draw! The oxygen injected by the system will only help you move for 10 seconds. Please move away from the gas leak location immediately!”

“Host, your luck has arrived! No obstacle is insurmountable. The song ‘Starting Over’ will now play automatically in your mind until you are far from the gas leak. Oxygen injection is almost complete. Please move away from the gas leak within 10 seconds! Countdown begins, 10! 9!… ”

“You son of a bitch, you want to commit suicide! Your whole family wants to commit suicide!” Ding Shuang’s mind suddenly cleared, the song echoing in his head, “All the honors of yesterday…”

“Ten seconds? If I can’t run out in ten seconds, does that mean I’ll continue to have fun? Bah! I mean I’ll continue to die!” Ding Shuang jolted awake and scrambled out of the rented room, not even taking any clothes to cover herself. Ding Shuang stood in the hallway, a breeze blowing, and the sounds below jingled.

Ding Shuang stood stunned in the stairwell, her mind blank, not knowing what had just happened. She muttered to herself, “Am I dead or alive? Have I become a ghost now?”

“Host, you are not dead. Congratulations on completing the escape mission. You are rewarded with a super lottery draw!” The electronic voice appeared in Ding Shuang’s mind again, startling her so much that she almost screamed.

“System? What system? The kind in novels?” Ding Shuang’s mind was still in a mess. Although Ding Shuang was indifferent to life and death, it wouldn’t be so easy to recover immediately if she experienced life and death again.

“Based on your understanding, this system is the same as the systems in novels you’re familiar with. So, your luck has arrived; please don’t attempt suicide again!”

“You son of a bitch, you want to commit suicide! I almost died in an accident because of a gas leak, okay!” Ding Shuang shouted when he heard the system’s words.

“Host, you can communicate with me mentally. If you wish to be reported for exposing yourself, you can continue shouting. The system has detected that the gas in the host’s room has dissipated; the host may return to the room.”

“Holy crap! I almost forgot I’m still naked!” Ding Shuang immediately returned to his rented apartment from the stairwell and turned off the gas. Sitting naked on the sofa in the living room, he calmed himself down and began communicating with the system, “What kind of system are you? What are you used for?”

“This system is called the Super Lewd System, and it can help the host get everything the host wants.”

“What super system?” Ding Shuang was somewhat incredulous, thinking she had misunderstood.

“Super Lewd System, host, your understanding is correct.”

Ding Shuang was speechless. Everyone else’s systems were invincible and limitless, but he’d gotten a lewd system. What the hell was that for? To build a harem? His girlfriend was beautiful! She was ranked number one among the top ten beauties at Feifei University! Why would he need a harem?

“Can you?”

“No! Host! Once the system is loaded, it cannot be changed. This system is the ultimate system; it can absorb other systems for the host’s use.”

“The ultimate system? There are other systems too? How do I absorb the other systems?”

“The other systems are all in secondary worlds, and the host needs to travel to other secondary worlds to complete tasks in order to absorb them. The secondary worlds are the worlds of novels, anime, movies, and other works in the host’s world.”

“Does that mean I can travel to the anime world and lord it over everyone?” Ding Shuang was a man too, and he had many unrealistic sexual fantasies. Although his girlfriend was very beautiful, Ding Shuang wouldn’t refuse to play around with other pretty girls without taking responsibility.

“That’s how it is in theory.”

Ding Shuang’s girlfriend was Han Rongbing, Ding Fei’s roommate. He was immediately attracted to her beauty upon first meeting her. Ding Shuang actually had very high standards, as Ding Fei herself was a great beauty, and living with her every day had unconsciously raised his own aesthetic standards. Upon learning that Han Rongbing didn’t have a boyfriend, Ding Shuang launched a relentless pursuit. Taking advantage of his proximity, and with Ding Fei’s help, Ding Shuang successfully became Han Rongbing’s boyfriend.

After dating for six months, Ding Shuang gave her virginity to Han Rongbing. That night, Ding Shuang discovered that Han Rongbing wasn’t a virgin, but Ding Shuang didn’t care; she knew her own worth perfectly well. Ding Shuang felt it was her parents’ blessing that she had managed to win over such a stunning beauty as Han Rongbing. Ding Shuang didn’t inquire about Han Rongbing’s past, and Han Rongbing didn’t reveal anything either.

Ding Shuang was actually somewhat insecure. Han Rongbing came from a good family, and although her parents were open-minded, Ding Shuang always felt she might lose him. G City was far more open than X City, and Ding Shuang was quite handsome. Even as a bartender, he’d been flirted with by girls hoping for a one-night stand. Because of Han Rongbing, Ding Shuang had politely declined them all. But secrets don’t stay hidden forever; if Han Rongbing found out, their relationship would be over. Besides, Ding Fei shared a dorm room with Han Rongbing; how would Ding Fei handle her relationship with him afterward?

Now that she knew she could travel to the world of anime, Ding Shuang’s mind started racing. Ding Shuang was quite the veteran anime fan; she’d even done cosplay with Han Rongbing a few times. Han Rongbing was in the school’s cosplay club and had come to their rented apartment in cosplay outfits after attending anime conventions a few times. Ding Shuang had to take leave on all those occasions.

“System, how can I travel to the world of anime? Is it possible now?”

“Sorry, host, this system has just finished loading. You do not have enough travel points yet and cannot travel at this time. You need to complete some tasks in the real world to accumulate travel points before you can travel. However, you currently have one super lottery chance, which may give you some travel points.”
