Chapter 142 Romance Contagion (5) (1st update + 2nd update + 0.5 update) [VIP]

It is hard to imagine how long Guan Hongyan listened to this sound.

But you can imagine how prosperous the milk tea shop is.

In the ten minutes after the exploration team members sat down, the clerk who took orders in the milk tea shop did not have a single second to rest. The milk tea shop is located right in the middle of primary and secondary schools in the old city. This time is also the time when middle school students are getting out of school and high school students are before evening self-study. There is a constant stream of students coming and going to buy milk tea.

The beaten lemon tea seemed to be the store’s signature dish. In just ten minutes, more than twenty orders were placed.

But the [White Flower Heroine] who was still making lemon tea in the backstage seemed to be accustomed to this situation. The "dong dong" sound like chopping bones became louder and louder. If the sign of this milk tea shop was not clearly hung, passers-by passing by the door might have mistaken it for a blacksmith shop.

This unusual sound naturally attracted more people to come in and ask curiously. When they learned that the clerk was making the beaten lemon tea, everyone showed extremely concrete interest in their eyes and joined the ranks of ordering.

"She..." Bai Jinshu twitched his lips, "She wouldn't have been beating up Lemon Tea in the kitchen all the time, right?"

"Yes," Guan Hongyan nodded cruelly, confirming his bold guess, "She has maintained this high-intensity workload for more than half an hour."

During this half hour or so, [The White Flower Heroine] has been making lemon tea in the kitchen. She went from being confused at the beginning to being numb now.

Among the customers in this area, [White Flower Heroine] seems to be quite famous. During the past half hour, many middle school students came in, dropped their schoolbags, and started chatting with the shop assistant who took the order in a very familiar manner. It seems that they are also regular customers of this milk tea shop.

Probably because [Heroine Baihua] took a ride with her today, she arrived at the store more than an hour earlier than usual. Many students were surprised to see her in the kitchen.

Among the crowd who were placing orders, there were even students who asked why [White Flower Heroine] came so early today. Usually, [White Flower Heroine] could only be seen at the operating table after evening self-study classes.

The dazzling light on the operating table at the back glanced at Guan Hongyan, turned around and replied, "Because I took a ride with a friend today."

They should be considered friends, right?

[The heroine Baihua] secretly glanced at Guan Hongyan who was sitting at the edge of the store. There was a group of people wearing the uniform of Olds Business School around her, both men and women, who seemed to be discussing something.

When the students from the surrounding old city saw their school uniforms, they all avoided that area. Strangely, a vacuum zone appeared in the store, which was not very big to begin with, separating these high-ranking sons of the emperor from ordinary people.

[Heroine Baihua]'s eyes unconsciously looked towards the employee lounge. Their milk tea shop was not a big chain brand, and it did not have its own employee uniforms, but every time she came to work, she would change out of her school uniform and put on an apron with the milk tea shop's logo printed on it.

In another room separated by a door, she also wore the same school uniform as her classmates, but she knew very clearly in her heart that they were two different types of people.

[Heroine Baihua]'s eyes flickered a few times and returned to the cup of fruit tea in her hand.

In the past, perhaps the only thing she would be thinking about at this time would be Guan Hongyan’s friends, probably the classmates around her, right?

But now, she suddenly felt a little bit excited.

She came to the city in the other person's car, and it seemed that they had met once before this time, which she had long forgotten. Does this mean that in the other person's heart, she is also a friend?

This was the first friend she made at Aldous Business School.

[Heroine Baihua] blinked her eyes, and her hands moved more quickly.

The milk tea shop was filled with more urgent "dong dong dong" sounds.

The members of the exploration team showed expressions of numbness and admiration.

This is the kind of warrior who can ride 90 kilometers a day. He drank lemon tea for more than half an hour and still felt more and more energetic.

[I am beginning to doubt the world's standard for selecting heroines. 】

[You call this the White Flower Heroine? ]

[It’s a white flower, but it didn’t say what kind of flower it is. My sister should be a queen of flowers…]

[It is hard to imagine why the male protagonist dared to accept the challenge and even punctured her bicycle tire. Who gave him the courage? ]

【Author… probably. 】

[The White Flower Lady is a sturdy woman, tall and strong, with powerful arms and steady steps...]

…

On the screen, the exploration team members who were discussing some high-end topics in the imagination of the [White Flower Heroine] were actually just getting together...

Read Mary Sue novels.

“Updated!”

Just a few minutes ago, new text appeared in Romance Contagious.

"Sure enough," Guan Hongyan flipped open the book and found that the text at the end was divided into a separate chapter, starting with the story of [Bai Hua] planning to ride a bicycle to work after school and then discovering that her tire was punctured. "Most of the things that happened here are not much different from the actual situation."

Apart from some overly disgusting words, the description in this passage is relatively objective and true.

A classmate who needed to go to the old town gave [White Flower Heroine] a ride. Because he needed to wait for someone, he was invited to sit in the store where the other person worked for a while.

"It says here that the heroine has a good impression of you," Bai Jinshu looked at the words on the paper thoughtfully, "and thinks that you are the most likable one among those arrogant and annoying classmates like Aldous."

He ran his finger over the text, and his eyes fell on Guan Hongyan: "Did you talk to her about anything?"

"What are we talking about?" Guan Hongyan thought for a moment, holding her chin in her hand. "Just some normal topics... food and drinks, and some hot celebrities and new cosmetics that we randomly found online. Isn't that what most girls talk about?"

Isn’t her mission to build a good relationship with [Heroine Baihua]?

"The two plots that happened this morning and this evening were clearly for the good of [Bai Hua], the former was to change her clothes, the latter was to send the heroine home after her tire was punctured..." Bai Jinshu's eyes cycled back and forth between the two paragraphs, "But the novel handles the two supporting characters in completely different ways."

In the former, Yun Tian, ​​who was written into the book, was portrayed as a young lady who was no different from most of her classmates. She helped the [Bai Hua heroine] only because she didn't know her and therefore had not yet developed any disgust towards her.

As for the latter, Guan Hongyan became a "good person" who was out of tune with most of her classmates.

"You mean... the supporting characters that appear in the book are actually determined by the protagonist's impression of them?" Guan Hongyan understood immediately.

"It's possible," Bai Jinshu nodded. "There are only three people written into the book. When Prince Melancholy met Cen Bingqi, he was seen as an admirer who was waiting for him on purpose. So in the book, he was portrayed as an admirer."

"And this morning, after you went in, you accidentally told Miss Baihua that you were a transfer student, so she thought you helped her just because you didn't know her, so Yuntian's image became like that."

Guan Hongyan is a new character who appears with positive emotions of the heroine, and naturally becomes a positive image.

"I roughly understand," Xu Zichen touched his chin. "In addition to conforming to the basic situation of the Mary Sue world, the plot of this book also determines the subsequent plot development according to the subjective emotions of the old characters who have appeared..."

There were several comments on the screen that showed people who listened carefully to their discussion:

[Fuck, that would definitely make the male and female protagonists' favor explode. ]

[But what's the point of having the male and female protagonists have such good impressions? Let's not talk about the male protagonist for now, the female protagonist doesn't get any positive benefits. ]

[Can he be a positive character in the book? But Mary Sue doesn't usually have any serious villains, right?]

…

Several low-end exploration team members in the world thought so too.

Zhang Ying frowned: "But what's the point of this?"

Become a positive character in a book?

"Isn't this too much!" Xu Zichen's eyes lit up.

"Of course it makes sense." At the same time, Bai Jinshu's eyes flashed with a calculating light, "Ms. Baihua thought Guan Hongyan was a good person, so Guan Hongyan in the article became a friend who was easy to get along with."

"We are transfer students, which means that Miss Baihua didn't know us at first..." He narrowed his eyes, "What does this mean? It means that she knows nothing about us."

It represents plasticity and infinite possibilities.

"In other words... as long as you deliberately shape my image in the heroine's mind during the plot that will definitely be written into the book, the updated content in the book will write you in this direction, and this space will be automatically filled in as the plot develops."

"What if I let her think that I'm a villain who is going to destroy the world..." Bai Jinshu's voice became softer and softer.

"Then as long as she really believes it, you will really have the power to destroy the world." Xu Zichen took over.

What might seem a bit exaggerated or unrealistic in other worlds are extremely common in a Mary Sue world.

"But if it's a bit extreme," Bai Jinshu's voice suddenly turned cold, "Suppose in such a world, you left an extremely dangerous image, and therefore were involved in a dangerous incident with the protagonist. Suppose you got into a car accident, or got a terminal illness, and then you would definitely die if you continued along the course of the plot, but you actually survived..."

"In that world that changes with the plot, you will be killed directly to complete the plot."

"Cen Bingqi?" Xu Zichen blinked and recognized Cen Bingqi, whose temperament suddenly turned cold. "Indeed, this is also one of the problems."

If this happens, then it will be a real plot kill.

In a Mary Sue world, it is impossible to predict what the protagonist will encounter, especially when the plot has already begun.

Bai Jinshu put away some of the coldness around him and switched back to his normal self very easily, without any guilt for just threatening his teammates. "In short, this should be considered one of the rules. It is reasonable to take certain risks when approaching the protagonist and using him."

With benefits come costs.

After he said these two words, the joy on the faces of the surrounding exploration team members turned into thoughtful vigilance and solemnity.

"All the rules are based on this book..." Guan Hongyan pursed her lips, "It's only the first day we got it, and so many things have already happened. I think we should go find Shi Linling tomorrow. He may know more than us."

The other team members nodded in agreement.

In this strange world, only the previous owner of this book, like them, knew the existence of the male and female protagonists.

While they were discussing, the students that had been packed in the store before went home or to study, and the small store became deserted for a short while.

When there is no plot happening, it is useless to brush up the impression points with [White Flower Heroine]. Everyone tidied themselves up, stood up and decided to leave, and decided to discuss on the way what kind of image they should create in order to maximize the benefits.

"Then let's go back now..." Guan Hongyan stood up, but before she could finish her words, the glass door of the milk tea shop was suddenly pushed open by someone.

"Welcome, may I have something to drink..." The waiter taking the order at the front desk paused, "Uncle Shi, why are you in the store?"

The people who came in didn't seem to be customers.

The person who opened the door was an elderly man. When he saw the exploration team members still in the store wearing the uniform of Olds Business School, he was obviously stunned for a moment and cast his eyes towards the direction of the operating table.

He obviously recognized this school uniform and knew that [Hakuhana Heroine] also studied there.

"Pei Ya..." He hesitated, "I have something to tell you."

"Uncle Shi," [White Flower Heroine] turned around from the operating table, "What's wrong?"

She had just finished her part-time job for the day and hadn't had time to take off her apron.

"You have worked here for more than 20 days this month, right?" Uncle Shi paused, "I will calculate one month's salary for you. Why don't you come here tomorrow?"

"Ah? Why?" The voice of [White Flower Heroine] suddenly became louder.

The members of the exploration team looked at each other and saw traces of the plot in each other's eyes.

Guan Hongyan, who had already stood up, sat back down.

"Uncle Shi, didn't we agree on this at the beginning? I'll work here until the summer vacation and then I'll look for a full-time summer job..." [White Flower Heroine] said quickly and eagerly, "Uncle Shi, although it takes me more than two hours to get here from school, I usually arrive just in time for the evening rush hour. I arrived more than an hour early today. I'll ride my bike faster next time!"

"It's not because of this..." Uncle Shi said with embarrassment, "It's because this store...is going to be taken back by the landlord."

"The landlord wants to take it back?" [White Flower Heroine] hurried forward a few steps, "But, Uncle Shi, haven't you rented this store for many years? You've been here since I was a child. Why would the landlord want to take it back for no reason?"

"I didn't know at first," Uncle Shi was silent for a moment, "I've run a store here for more than ten years. This store was here before your parents left. The landlord suddenly called me this afternoon and said he wanted to take back the house, and he had to take it back tomorrow. I didn't know what was going on."

He raised his head and looked at [White Flower Heroine] deeply. "But when I asked the landlord if he could give me some time to find a similar store nearby and move there, he said..."

"What are you talking about? This is obviously embarrassing me!" [White Flower Heroine] was furious, "This is a violation of the contract. Uncle Shi, you signed a contract to rent this store!"

"He said..." Uncle Shi sighed, "He doesn't have to take back the store, but he has a request."

"The clerk in the store named Weisheng Peiya must be fired."

[White Flower Heroine] took a few steps back, her body language full of disbelief: "Me?"

"Because of me?" Her voice was a little distorted. "Why did you fire me? Is it because... because of Baili Xiaofeng! Because of him, right!"

[The classic plot of ruining the heroine's job is late but it comes. 】

[My sister is so miserable——]

[Although I didn’t feel anything when I read this type of novel before, after watching the live broadcast, I suddenly felt like I was in. 】

[Yeah, why would you ruin someone's job for no reason... It sounds like your sister or her parents have passed away.]

[Oh, I feel like crying because of my sister. 】

[Wait, crying?]

【Alert.jpg】

As the voice of [White Flower Heroine] gradually choked, something shining brightly flashed by and fell quickly on the table, making a crisp collision sound.

Diamonds have started to fall from the table.

The exploration team members who were still watching the development of the plot took a deep breath and remembered the bathroom full of diamonds in the morning.

Although it is true that diamonds are easy to sell and make money, they don't want to see a place flooded with diamonds a second time.

Guan Hongyan looked at Cen Bingqi for help: [Cen Bingqi, use your invincible business personality to think of a solution! ]

If this continues, the price of diamonds in this world will soon fall!

Bai Jinshu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This plot...isn't it just an opportunity to create a fake identity that comes right to your doorstep?

Uncle Shi and [Heroine Baihua] seem to have been neighbors for more than ten years, but the other party's family depends on this store for their livelihood. If [Heroine Baihua] is not fired, the store will be taken back tomorrow.

Uncle Shi's voice was very embarrassed: "Pei Ya, I don't know either, but..."

But if she is not fired, this shop that supports her entire family's livelihood will be taken back immediately.

For a moment, a very tense atmosphere filled the store.

Just then, a very gentle male voice sounded: "So you are looking for a new job now?"

[Heroine Baihua] was stunned and looked in the direction of the sound.

The person who was speaking... seemed to be one of Guan Hongyan's friends, her classmate from the same school.

They haven't left yet.

A trace of panic flashed across the face of [White Flower Heroine] almost instantly. Did she just say Baili Xiaofeng's name? They knew that the four princes were also targeting them. Would they join in?

The owner of the voice was also wearing sunglasses at night, so only the lower half of his face could be seen, and his lips moved: "Why don't you come to my restaurant?"

“Hmm…?” [White Flower Heroine] was stunned.

"Which restaurant...?" Her brain seemed to freeze, and all her reactions seemed to be subconscious. "Are you still hiring? What's the base salary? Is there commission? Do you provide dinner? Are there five insurances and one fund? Is commuting convenient? Do you need training? Can you accept working hours after six o'clock every day?"

【Grass. 】

【What a real worker. 】

[How could it be so hasty?]

[Is this Cen Bingqi planning to start forging his identity? ]

"It's the most famous one in the wealthy area," the classmate said in a low voice, not at all offended by her barrage of questions. "As for the others... I'm not sure either. I'll need to ask the manager. I don't know if they're hiring, but if I say I want to find you a job, they probably won't refuse."

"Ah...ah?" [White Flower Heroine] was like a pie in the sky suddenly fell and hit him, "Really?"

"Yeah, really." The classmate wearing sunglasses pursed his lips slightly, as if he was amused by her. "Anyway, it was Guan Hongyan who asked us to find a job for you."

"I didn't disbelieve it! I can actually work at Encounter!" [White Flower Heroine] suddenly jumped over in an exaggerated manner, rushed up and hugged Guan Hongyan who was suddenly cueed next to her, tears burst out at once, "Thank you! You are such a good person!"

"You're welcome," the student who had spoken waved her hand and continued in a voice that she could hardly hear, "We should be the ones thanking you."

In the plot where "the heroine Baihua was troubled by the domineering hero and lost her job", a character suddenly appeared to rescue the heroine.

The plot is based on real events. If a "good man" like him appeared who provided job opportunities, then the [Bai Hua heroine] would not look for a job again, so the possibility of this plot being changed is very low, and it is very likely to be written into the book as it is.

After this plot appears, for the sake of the rationality of the plot, there will probably be a "most famous restaurant in the wealthy area" appearing in this world immediately to provide her with a job opportunity.

——He created an identity for himself effortlessly and got a restaurant for free.

Bai Jinshu calmly pushed up his sunglasses, turned his head to glance at the exploration team members beside him who were stunned by this standard set of empty-handed tricks, and whispered: "What are you standing there for? Pick it up!"

[Heroine Baihua] was so happy that she cried. The ground was now crackling with the sound of diamonds falling.

*

When they walked out of the milk tea shop, each member of the exploration team had a large bag of diamonds in their hands.

[Heroine Baihua] took the salary she earned from working in a milk tea shop for a month, and with the persuasion of the exploration team members, she decided to go to the restaurant where she would be working tomorrow to take a look.

In fact, the exploration team members felt that this method was a bit too fantastical and wanted to quickly confirm the existence of this restaurant. Since this plot has not appeared in the book yet, it means that the plot has not yet been fully developed.

Of course, it would be safer to take the heroine directly to the restaurant.

Once this thing is written into the book, this part of the plot cannot be faked at all.

A row of luxury cars stopped in front of the restaurant, and a group of students wearing the uniforms of Olds Business School got out of the cars.

Everyone knew the school uniform of this school. The waiters did not look strangely at the students who came here to consume in school uniforms. Instead, they started whispering to each other.

"I'm a student from Olds Business School..."

"I wonder which company's young master and daughter are coming today... I heard that there are four princes in Olds Business School!"

"I like Prince Melancholy! He came here to eat last time and his voice was so charming!"

"But the Domineering Prince is so handsome too!"

"Oh my god, if I studied in that school, I would be so happy that I would faint!"

"The manager went up and seemed to know them!"

Walking in the corridor of the luxurious restaurant, [Heroine Baihua] almost felt like she was walking on clouds. Her life had been full of ups and downs that day. She had never been to such a place before.

But she may not believe it, because her classmates before her have never been to this place.

"There actually is such a restaurant..." Xu Zichen lowered his voice, "It's just like a bug."

As long as the heroine believes it exists, the restaurant will exist.

"Does the Mary Sue world have to talk about it so blatantly?" Guan Hongyan twitched her lips. "Are the lines of the waiters around here so shameful? How can they say that?"

Do people in your world have no toes? How can you blurt out such a line so normally? Isn't it embarrassing? The exploration team members nearby were so embarrassed that they were at a loss.

The manager stepped forward and bowed very respectfully to Bai Jinshu, who was walking in the middle of the crowd: "Welcome, young master!"

"Hiss..." Guan Hongyan took a breath of cold air and felt that all the goose bumps cells in her body were awakened.

And beside her, Cen Bingqi, who was being "greeted", was able to maintain such a calm expression.

To be honest, Bai Jinshu was in a relatively calm mood. After all, he had encountered many embarrassing scenes and names when filming.

Among all the roles he has played before, the title of "Young Master" is not considered to be too extreme.

"I want to find her a job here," he nodded to the [White Flower Mistress] behind him, "Is that okay?"

"...Yes, of course." The manager was stunned for a moment when he saw the school uniform of [White Flower Heroine]. He probably thought that these young masters and young ladies were making some inexplicable bets. Although he felt it was strange, he nodded quickly and searched in his mind. "It just so happens that we are short of waiters recently. This lady looks very good and has a good temperament. She is perfect for this position!"

Bai Jinshu's gaze fell on the [Heroine Baihua]. She looked a little surprised. She seemed to have thought that she would be assigned a position in the kitchen, but she didn't expect to be a waitress. Her palms suddenly broke out in sweat.

If I work as a waiter in a restaurant like this, I will probably meet a lot of my classmates...

"Hmm..." But Bai Jinshu certainly didn't come here for her to be a waitress.

"The waiter seems a little inconvenient. Let's go to another place. Is there any room in the kitchen?" Bai Jinshu thought for a moment and asked the manager under the grateful gaze of the heroine.

"The kitchen..." The manager raised his head in embarrassment and looked at the [White Flower Heroine] strangely, "The kitchen... maybe you need to wash and cut vegetables..."

Can a young lady like this do this?

"I can do it! I can do anything!" [White Flower Heroine] expressed her opinion quickly.

Bai Jinshu nodded calmly at the manager's embarrassed look, and crossed out the message sent by Yun Guangfei, who was watching the live broadcast, on the chat record of the foundation panel. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Why not let her cut onions in the background?"

manager:?

Barrage: [? ]

[You have bad intentions.]

【What do you want our sister to do? 】

[To bring down the price of diamonds, right? ]

On the screen, the manager looked very confused: "Onions?"

Why onions?

"Yeah," Bai Jinshu said calmly, "onion."

In the chat history, Yun Guang's message glowed faintly: [Qing Shuang said that she wanted to place a long-term order for water spirit stones, and she would take as many as she could get.]

"Give her a separate room to cut onions," Bai Jinshu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Cut as many as she can, and have someone clean the room every day."

manager:?

Manager: “Ah?”

The author has something to say:

Chopping onions is a job more suitable for the female body type in Mary Sue's world (x)

There was no daily 10,000 today, so Jiamuge failed to appear! Why! Because Hantang went to read Mary Sue novels to find inspiration for the waiter's shameful speech (justified)

It doesn't matter, he will have a more explosive appearance in the next chapter. The title of Dark Night Emperor will never be wasted (clenched fist). Who said that there is only one Mary Sue original in the Mary Sue world (put your palms together) (pray)

The first 20 + the last 20 will randomly drop a red envelope
