Sure, here's the translation:
After the system's explanation, Li Peifeng had a vague idea about the system's bullshit concept and a recognition of its judgment boundaries.
The system definitely didn't want him to be a traditional freeloader, or he wouldn't even be allowed to return gifts.
Closing the normal eating function was to encourage him to guide women's spending, preventing him from directly returning money given by women to avoid exploiting bugs to enhance consumption quotas and prevent acquiring rewards through cheating...
So, it seems, although the system explicitly forces him to freeload, in reality, it's doing just three things.
Fairness, fairness, and damn fairness!
But whether this fairness is really fair, only the devil knows...
"Is it just stupidity? It's downright foolish!"
Putting down his thoughts on the system's concept, Li Peifeng took out his phone to message Xu Manning, explaining again and again that he wasn't sick, but she might have been busy with other matters and didn't reply.
"Call me when you see this message, I'll return the money to you."
After a moment of hesitation, Li Peifeng sent the message; this amount of 300,000 wasn't small for him, but considering Xu Manning's family condition, it wasn't much.
Based on the latter's understanding of the former, after some explanation, converting the money to gold and gifting it shouldn't be much of a problem. Of course, there are options...
"If she's really unwilling by then, I can return the money in full. After all, I have money; the assessment tasks can be redone, and the rewards can be drawn again."
Li Peifeng subconsciously scrolled up their chat, seeing the sentence, "If you must die, please die in my arms." He still couldn't help but smile.
"Let's do it that way! Next, let me see whether this so-called lucky draw wheel depends on wealth or supernatural ability..."
Having decided how to handle the 300,000, Li Peifeng showed an expectant expression, holding onto these rare joyous days, called out the prize wheel.
Instantly, before him appeared a colorful round wheel.
The center of the wheel was a small pointer, and different colors divided the wheel into six uneven sections, each containing dense descriptions and draw probabilities.
[35% Regrettably, you didn't win.]
This section was the largest and most prominent, with a 35% chance of being drawn.
"There's still a chance to miss?!"
Li Peifeng frowned slightly, looking at other reward items.
However, the more he looked, the colder his heart became.
"I should've known, this system of yours isn't a proper system at all!"
The colorful wheel before him remained motionless, shining brightly...

Then I detoured from the Sintland Basin to Blood Death Valley, giving rest to the Sleepless One, Volges, and the Frost Giant Dragon, Zhuoma, and crushing the former's bones and the latter's heart while adding Chimogen, succubus mosquito wings, grapefruit, etc., to create the middle note for her. After that, I traversed Rhone Canyon, Gray Swamp, Soom Mountain Range, crossed Thunderstorm Highlands, and passed through the frontlines of Delikunshi's battlefield, collecting the blood of seventeen thousand six hundred elf species, demon species, sea-dwelling species, and even human species, along with six elemental essences, Qi Lengsong, White Musk, Dream Smoke, Wolf Crane Grass, etc., to create the base note for her.

The waves hailed us, the storm sang for us, thousands of fishes arrived as agreed, we merged with the Nether Sea, we will follow the monsoon away, letting the whole world's creatures share this fragrance...)]
Six sections, five rewards, the variety of rewards includes pills, Qi Gong, magic, and technology – quite powerful indeed.
All are supernatural items, each sounding impressive, but something feels a bit off, especially that implant...
"System, you're so absurd, even more absurd next time!"
Li Peifeng explored other rewards and found them tolerable, but mainly those two modifications: skills and aphrodisiacs can be used if desired, and one can choose not to use them. But if the modification is drawn, there's an inability to refuse; who knows if this thing is reliable, and what if there are side effects, or if it malfunctions, who should he turn to?
These two things are as important to a man as life itself; if they malfunction, forget freeloading, Mr. Li would be devastated.
After repeatedly asking the system and confirming no accidents would occur with the modification, he hesitated for a long time and decided to go for the draw.
For someone who regularly brews goji berries in a thermal cup, entering the health maintenance stage early, if the modification is as beautifully depicted, without any side effects, nor adversely affecting the experience, it's quite tempting... might as well not be human!
"Start the draw!"
With a thought, Li Peifeng watched the wheel spin, speeding up until the words blurred, then slowing down, and eventually stopping. The pointer remained motionless throughout, finally pointing to...
[Regrettably, you didn't win.]
"Continue drawing."
Li Peifeng wasted no time; after all, he still had five chances.
The wheel spun again, the second time...
[Regrettably, you didn't win.]
Li Peifeng's face was expressionless: "Again!"
The wheel spun a third time...
[Regrettably, you didn't win.]
Li Peifeng gritted his teeth: "You wait, I'll draw again after I finish bathing!"
After three consecutive misses, Mr. Li began to question the system's draw mechanism, resembling some domestic game developers' lottery systems, too exploitative...
"Absolutely not because of my bad luck!!"
After bathing, Li Peifeng lay on the bed in his bedroom, rested with eyes closed, and initiated the fourth draw in his mind. Watching the spinning wheel, he maintained inner calm, and finally, the direction of the pointer...
[Congratulations, you've won (item) Perfume: Breath of the Nether Sea!]
A glass bottle, the size of a palm, floated before Li Peifeng, seemingly real and illusory. He tentatively stretched out his hand to hold it, the item flashed with an eerie light, as if it had come entirely from the illusionary to the real world.
Entirely black, ice-cold to the touch, without any text on the bottle. In the moment of possession, Li Peifeng seemed to hear the sound of waves.
But unlike earthly ocean sounds, these were more ancient, mysterious, wild, mixed with the roars of various unknown sea creatures.
Similar to whales or dolphins, ethereal, melodious, symbolizing eternal loneliness... and besides those sounds, it seemed to be accompanied by the low whispers of the creator of the perfume, Abbas.
This was a language from the Otherworld that Li Peifeng had never heard before, beautiful and complex, yet he understood its meaning.
[I share with you the joys and sorrows of this world, the romance of beings within, the delicate engagement with the breath of the Nether Sea.]
[Death, without yesterday nor tomorrow, will let you step outside of time...]
Such an amazing perfume! It can actually talk!
Its utterances are romantic and poetic!
"But I just want to ask one thing..."
Li Peifeng's expression was uncertain: "Is it still possible to return this?"
