Chapter 157 Romance Contagion (20) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]

Bai Jinshu's ice cream strategy has achieved remarkable success.

After hearing that it was possible to predict when global ice cream would be out of stock, Gu Tiancai showed unprecedented enthusiasm. Within half a day, he had sent data on countless large orders in the past six months to Bai Jinshu and his team's account.

Looking at the endless orders on the computer, Xu Zichen expressed everyone's thoughts: "He loves ice cream so much, I am crying."

This kid has an insatiable love for ice cream.

It is said that when he was abroad, [Runaway Female Protagonist] Gu Niannian initially thought that he ate too much and would hurt his stomach, so she forbade him to continue this uncontrolled intake of cold drinks and ice cream. Considering that her son's ability was far beyond that of his peers, Gu Niannian also suspended his credit card while confiscating the cash.

Then Gu Tiancai came up with a genius way to deal with the situation. He went online to offer a reward in Bitcoins, offering 2 Bitcoins in exchange for two ice creams, and asked people to order takeout for him and have it delivered to his doorstep.

The takeaway order must be marked with a note that you cannot call or knock on the door, because your parents are at home and you cannot be discovered ordering takeaway. When the takeaway man arrives, he will imitate the cat's meow, and he will know that the takeaway has arrived.

This bizarre post and toxic request became a new source of fun for everyone.

Until one of the bored people in the group of people laughing had some free time and actually ordered an ice cream for him and wrote that bizarre note.

The next day, the lucky guy really received 2 bitcoins.

The entire dark web exploded.

The lucky guy didn't actually leave any account information or identity information, so how did the 2 bitcoins get transferred?

Suddenly, everyone on the entire dark web was in danger. Even the address with the residential location clearly written in black text on a white screen was checked by some people. As a result, those who went to check it came back and replied in the information release: there was only a child under kindergarten age and a girl living in the house. It is impossible for them to write such a commission on the dark web. I'm afraid the address is also fake.

A hacker offered a 2 bitcoin reward for a ridiculous takeout order, and left an address whose purpose is unknown. Was he just trying to fool everyone?

Everyone was shocked by this extremely boring psychopath.

The problem is that he was just kidding, but he actually gave me the 2 bitcoins.

As a result, there is still a legend in the cryptocurrency circle that a top hacker used 2 bitcoins to order takeout and sneak away.

#The dark web regularly refreshes with well-intentioned bored hackers who will spend a lot of money after hacking your personal information#

In short, Gu Tiancai is an amazing three and a half year old hacker.

If we only talk about his abilities, his technical level doesn't seem like that of a three-and-a-half-year-old, but rather mature like that of a veteran who has been working in the Internet world for decades.

But while being a seasoned man, Gu Tiancai's ways of doing things are very childish.

For example, Guan Hongyan once mentioned that liking to eat ice seems to be a sign of iron deficiency. Gu Tiancai likes ice cream to this extent, so why not find time to go to the hospital to see if he is lacking any trace elements.

Gu Niannian was very nervous and immediately took Gu Tiancai to the hospital for examination.

The next day, Gu Tiancai's program appeared on Guan Hongyan's phone, with serious words: [Ice cream is the best food and perfection in the world. Those who don't understand it, goodbye forever.]

[ps: Iron deficiency means liking to chew ice cubes, ice cream is innocent! ]

Guan Hongyan: ...Hug one thread, I remembered it wrong.

Due to this situation, although Gu Tiancai was indeed a genius hacker at the Bug level, the impression this child gave them at the beginning was that he was just like most children, who had a great enthusiasm for sweets like ice cream because their parents did not allow them to eat too much.

However, after Lu Changfeng had more contact with him, he gradually discovered that Gu Tiancai's hobby was not normal.

"He eats more than three ice creams a day without fail," Lu Changfeng gave an example. "It's like he relies on ice cream to keep himself alive. He becomes extremely depressed when he doesn't have ice cream. He couldn't be so proud of himself when he didn't have ice cream during the global shortage period. When he bankrupted those companies, he chewed ice cubes every day."

Crunchy, crunchy sound. Her teeth are surprisingly healthy as they haven't yet reached the tooth replacement period. There is no toothache or nerve pain at all. The sound is so loud that it sounds like someone is chewing something raw, which is the culprit for the ice cream being out of stock.

Gu Tiancai's love for ice cream has reached an extremely extreme level. Bai Jinshu feels that this child's dependence on ice cream is very strange.

However, for a child, their way of dealing with things does not require adult thinking at all.

When everyone was using Mary Sue, child psychology, and even metaphysical factors to explain why Gu Tiancai loved ice cream so much, Bai Jinshu pondered for a moment and said, "Why not just ask directly?"

Everyone: …

Lu Changfeng really went to ask on the orders of his brother Qi.

The answer is that what Gu Tiancai actually consumed was not sugar, but temperature.

When his brain is working at high speed, it needs something cold to cool down. It can be something else instead of ice cream, but he prefers ice cream.

Gu Tiancai loves ice cream and Lu, and has the best impression of Lu Changfeng among all the exploration team members.

Everyone inside and outside the screen was shocked by this conclusion.

Investors on the barrage complained:

[I have heard that the only things that need to heat up when running at high speed are electronic products. ]

[It makes sense that hackers and computer hosts have some similarities.]

[Why is this world always very realistic where it should be exaggerated, and very exaggerated where it should be realistic? ]

[This may be the Mary Sue of science. ]

*

It takes a certain amount of time to judge large orders and related out-of-stock products, and it also takes a certain amount of time to find the original owners one by one and ask them about the origins of the original works.

During this period, the disappearance of Baili Xiaofeng, the original male protagonist of "Romantic Contagion 1", attracted the attention of several parties. In just a few days, several original works were added to the Mary Sue world.

After the fusion of 1 and 18, there were many unfamiliar classmates in Olds Business School. It was probably because the story of the F4 type of novel was not convenient to unfold in two schools, so the students and the male protagonist who appeared in Romantic Contagion 18 were all grafted into Olds.

It just filled the gap left by the [domineering male protagonist] after he left and transferred to another school with him.

[The heroine of White Flower] Weisheng Peiya's situation remains the same as before, except that her relationship with Guan Hongyan seems to be better, and she has been working steadily cutting onions in a mafia restaurant.

One day, before school was over, Weisheng Peiya suddenly found Guan Hongyan.

"Um... Hongyan, are you free tomorrow?" In front of a group of classmates, [Heroine Baihua] seemed to be a little unsure of how to start the conversation and spoke in a very low voice.

"Tomorrow?" Guan Hongyan thought about her schedule and glanced at Xu Zichen. "Is it okay? I can adjust it. What can I do for you?"

The original plan for tomorrow was to cause trouble for the first original author, but this matter could also be left to Xu Zichen.

Weisheng Peiya has been behaving very normally after the fusion of 1 and 18, and has not shown any special circumstances.

Before today, she continued to work very steadily every day, rode her bicycle to and from school, and lived a regular life as before. Her attitude towards the exploration team members was the same as before. She seemed to be unaware of the changes in the world, making it difficult to see the impact of the original work's fusion on her.

When this question was suddenly asked, all the team members perked up at once.

Under the burning gazes of the group of people, [White Flower Heroine] felt a great deal of pressure in an instant: "...If you don't have time, forget it."

"No," Guan Hongyan suddenly became enthusiastic, "Do you have any difficulties? We can all help you solve them. Don't be embarrassed to ask. Aren't we friends? Friends should help each other!"

"It's not difficult..." Weisheng Peiya was a little embarrassed, "I want to ask for a leave at the restaurant tomorrow."

"Yes, absolutely." Guan Hongyan agreed quickly.

"Uh..." [White Flower Heroine] said weakly, "I haven't told you why I want leave yet?"

How come Guan Hongyan agreed on behalf of Cen Bingqi before she even said anything?

These people are so weird today...

"You have connections, so when the time comes, let Cen Bingqi go and ask the manager, will he still refuse to give me leave?" Guan Hongyan waved her hand, her face full of expectation, "You asked me if I had time before, do you have any difficulties tomorrow? Tell us and everyone will help you!"

"It's not difficult..." Weisheng Peiya hesitated for a moment, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of my parents' death, I want to visit their graves."

"Sweeping the grave?" Guan Hongyan was stunned for a moment.

Why did Weisheng Peiya want to go with her to visit the graves?

Asking for leave is understandable. Whether before or after the merger, Weisheng Peiya was an orphan whose parents died early. She was raised by her neighbors and was admitted to Olds Business School with excellent grades.

It is natural to visit the graves on the anniversary of parents' death. It only happens once a year, so it is natural to ask for leave.

But why call her?

Guan Hongyan scratched her head in confusion: "So your parents' grave is far away? Are you looking for me to get a driver?"

"No problem, I'll ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow."

According to the means of transportation of [White Flower Heroine], which is a bicycle, the sun would probably have set by the time she arrived at the cemetery.

Although Weisheng Peiya might not be afraid, the act of sweeping the graves so late at night might somewhat scare the cemetery management.

Apart from this, Guan Hongyan really couldn't think of any reason why Weisheng Peiya would invite her to visit the grave.

"Well... okay," Weisheng Peiya was silent for a moment, "see you tomorrow then."

Although she didn't say the reason at the beginning, Guan Hongyan's willingness to go with her can be considered as achieving her goal.

Weisheng Peiya walked away very entangled.

The exploration team members behind him all showed very puzzled expressions.

"Grave sweeping...why did she ask you to do that?" Xu Zichen crossed his arms, "I thought Weisheng Peiya came to see you because of the aftereffects of world fusion."

"I don't know either." Guan Hongyan looked just as confused as the others. "Why don't we go check it out tomorrow?"

"Cen Bingqi?" She habitually asked for Bai Jinshu's opinion.

"Remember to report the situation in the group at all times tomorrow." Bai Jinshu nodded and watched Weisheng Peiya leave.

"I always feel that the integration of this original work wouldn't be so simple. How could there be no side effects?" He pinched his chin, his tone inquiring.

Although it now seems that the integration of the original works is the best way to solve all problems, as Long Aotian, the Gu King, owns at least a hundred copies of the original works, the lives of the people holding the books in his hands will only be more, not less.

After experiments by the exploration team, they found that as long as the owner of the original book is moved and kept at a certain distance from the original holder, the original holder will forget the contents of the book, so there is no need to kill anyone to seize the original book.

However, the way that Long Aotian Gu King chose to seize the book at the beginning was to kill the Killer Island Master.

Whether he was used to this way of stealing books, or because the killer island master resisted fiercely and he had to kill him, this method showed that the Gu King was actually not averse to killing people.

Then as long as the original works are integrated, randomly killing... no, randomly making a pair of male and female protagonists disappear can stop the snowballing, and no one in the world except him will have any impression of the disappearance of this pair of men and women.

Why doesn’t the Gu King do such a profitable business?

It must be because there is a trap here.

The rest of the exploration team thought so too.

It's just that the Weisheng Peiya they are currently dealing with is too normal, and they are not familiar with the 18 male protagonist on the other side, which makes this consequence not immediately apparent.

Weisheng Peiya behaved too normally. If the problem did not lie with her, then it could only lie with the person holding the book.

The relationship between all the book holders is already tense enough, and Bai Jinshu and the others really don't want to imagine that more trouble will arise in the future.

At this moment, Weisheng Peiya's sudden invitation gave everyone a big breakthrough point.

No matter why she asked Guan Hongyan to accompany her to visit the grave, Guan Hongyan had to go.

At the same time, the first book holder who was originally assigned to her to deal with tomorrow was also handed over to Xu Zichen.

"I'll go with you tomorrow," Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Let Cen Bingqi go, and we'll split into two groups. Guan Hongyan will go with Weisheng Peiya to visit the grave, and the rest of us will go together to inquire about the book holder's original work according to the order form."

"Remember to report the situation in the group at all times." He looked up at Guan Hongyan, "Tell us all of Weisheng Peiya's movements."

Guan Hongyan: “I understand.”

The second day arrived as scheduled as the exploration team members were ready to go.

Guan Hongyan kept updating information in the group:

[It seems that Weisheng Peiya really intends to go to the grave. Her schoolbag is filled with fruits and some rags, basins, and other things she brought from home.]

[When we got to the tombstone, she fetched some water and wiped the photos. I stood beside her in the middle of the night, which was a bit awkward. Why did she bring me here when we were not related at all?]

The accompanying picture is a photo of the tombstone of Weisheng Peiya’s parents, and Weisheng Peiya was indeed squatting beside it and wiping the tombstone.

Xu Zichen interrupted and said, "It seems that there is no problem."

[Let's take a look again,] Bai Jinshu shook his head slightly, [Wei Sheng Pei Ya and Guan Hong Yan have only known each other for less than a few months, why would he invite her to visit the grave? This doesn't make sense.]

Guan Hongyan: [I also think it's very strange. Why do you want me to go to the grave? ]

Guan Hongyan: [I have finished sweeping. Weisheng Peiya invited me to her house for dinner, so I went with her.]

Guan Hongyan: [She looks a little nervous. Is there something wrong with her home?]

Guan Hongyan: [We arrived. We didn’t talk about much along the way. Weisheng Peiya was telling me about how she grew up after becoming an orphan. She mentioned that she had a good friend when her parents were still alive, but this friend moved away after her parents had a car accident.]

The accompanying picture is a photo of Weisheng Peiya’s home.

There is nothing special in the center of the picture. One can only roughly see that the owner of this house does not live a well-off life.

Guan Hongyan: […I know what’s going on.]

Guan Hongyan: [Weisheng Peiya said that I looked very much like a friend of hers when she was a child. It should have been when her parents were still alive. She couldn’t quite remember the name of that friend, but she only remembered that her family was well off at the time and she lived nearby.]

Guan Hongyan: [Later, this friend and her parents were involved in a car accident. Her parents died and this friend was seriously injured. She was then taken away by her own parents and I never saw her again.]

Guan Hongyan: [She came to see me yesterday to confirm whether I was that childhood friend, so she wanted to take me to see photos of her parents and her home to see if I could remember.]

Guan Hongyan: [Where are the people?]

Guan Hongyan: [What's going on over there? Why is no one replying to my message?]

On the other side, Guan Hongyan was still at Weisheng Peiya's house. The rest of the exploration team members went to find the first book holder they had discovered based on the information they had found before.

Then, everyone had a very weird conversation.

In the room where the remaining exploration team members were, Xu Zichen was standing next to the dining table, holding a fat, big-eared middle-aged man behind his back.

The room was in a mess. All the food on the table was knocked over and smeared all over the middle-aged man's face.

There was a struggle among the book holders, and it was a life-or-death situation. Bai Jinshudu had no intention of resolving the problem peacefully from the beginning.

"Go in later and hold down the person holding the book," Bai Jinshu stretched his neck and wrists, "and leave the rest to me."

"OK." Xu Zichen made a gesture, Bai Jinshu took a few steps back and kicked the door open.

The moment the door of the room opened, before the fat, big-eared middle-aged man in the middle, whose identity had been identified as the book holder, could finish his words and slam the table and say "Who are you", Xu Zichen rushed out like an arrow and pressed him down on the table in one step.

All the guests nearby were instantly shocked. Bai Jinshu had performed the miracle of sound shielding in advance, and the sound of fighting in the room was not transmitted at all. After a few minutes, all the irrelevant people in the room except the man holding the book were knocked unconscious.

"Ge Guang, right?" Bai Jinshu walked a few steps to the middle-aged man and half-knelt down. "Where is your book?"

"Book? What is that?" Ge Guang struggled violently, "Who are you? This is illegal! My bodyguards are all outside!"

"Are you talking about this?" Lu Wu threw in a man in a black suit and a headset. The muscles on his arms were very obvious. "It seems to be the captain of the bodyguards. He has been knocked unconscious."

"Brother Qi, no one is hurt." Lu Changfeng, who was brought here to be a nanny, walked in. "Is there anything wrong with you and Brother Xu?"

The remaining members of the exploration team were also in a mess, but fortunately no one was injured. It seemed that the bodyguards outside were caught off guard.

"We're both fine," Xu Zichen pulled the corner of his mouth and pressed down hard, "Don't move. Do you think you can escape from here?"

A trace of fear flashed across Ge Guang's face.

"I'm asking you a question," Bai Jinshu frowned and asked impatiently, "Where is your book?"

This had a great impact on Cen Bingqi, and he could hardly control his tone.

The moment they kicked the door open, the barrage of comments had already exploded.

[Wow wow wow wow so handsome! ]

[It turns out that such a mysterious thing as kicking the door with one foot and flying in really exists. ]

[Fuck, mom, there are people flying in the sky. ]

[Cen Bingqi, what did you do before? How can a door like this fly so far inside after it is kicked open? ]

[Mom, it turns out that your 24 personalities are not limited to playing Mary Sue. ]

…

On the screen, the middle-aged man who was pressed on the table by Bai Jinshu and the others still had a blank expression: "Books? What books? I don't read books?"

"There's no need to pretend now that you've been found, my friend," Xu Zichen said speechlessly, "The book, the one that automatically appears text and records the events that happened in this world, you know it, don't you?"

You are still so stubborn even when you are about to be beaten?

"Ah?" The middle-aged man looked unresponsive. After a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "You mean... tickets?"

Tickets?

What is this?

Now it was everyone's turn to be confused.

The exploration team members in the room looked at each other quickly, and saw familiar expressions in each other's eyes. Bai Jinshu winked at Xu Zichen, but Xu Zichen remained calm and said in a normal tone: "Yes, where is your ticket?"

"You...you are here to get tickets!" Unexpectedly, after these words came out, the fat and big-eared middle-aged man seemed to have found a backer, and the expression on his face suddenly became complacent.

He shouted loudly: "Who do you think you are? How dare you touch my ticket! Do you know that I am Brother Meng's man? If you dare to touch my ticket, you will be dead!"

"Of course we dare." This statement revealed too much information. Bai Jinshu's mind turned around. Seeing Xu Zichen's strange expression, he immediately squatted down and continued, "As long as we kill you, Brother Meng won't know that we took your ticket, right?"

Ge Guang was stunned for a second, and his face suddenly became ferocious.

“You can’t hide it!”

"Brother Meng knows my Gu King! Brother Meng knows my Gu King!"

King of Gu.

My Gu King.

Bai Jinshu's mind was racing.

Why did the book holder say the words "my Gu King".

In their understanding, Gu King is used to describe the original holder who owns many original works.

People who would say things like "my Gu King" are generally Gu breeders.

The book holder calls the book a ticket. The book holder is raising a Gu, so the Gu the book holder is talking about is...

main character.

Bai Jinshu suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He knew what would emerge from the continuous fusion of the original works. The continuous fusion of the original works would produce a top protagonist who was the fusion of countless protagonists. This was the Gu King raised by the book holder.

And books are the ticket...

Books are the tickets to enter the Gu breeding farm.

According to Ge Guang's description, Brother Meng was one of a certain force. He knew Ge Guang's Gu King, so Ge ​​Guang thought that the exploration team members came to him to seize the Gu King, so he moved out this big Buddha.

Bai Jinshu felt that everything about this space was gradually connected together, and he was just missing the last piece of the puzzle. Then he could piece together everything about the core rules.

Just then, he heard Xu Zichen's voice.

Xu Zichen looked strange and patted Ge Guang's face: "The Brother Meng you are talking about, could it be Meng Jin?"

"Yes!" Ge Guang stretched his neck, "Let me go!"

Xu Zichen suddenly sneered: "It seems that I have been gone for too long. I didn't expect Meng Jin to become a 'big brother' who can be brought out to bully others."

"I was wondering why this method of disguising the original work as Goldfinger looked so familiar, it turns out it was really you guys."

"I won't kill you. You can go back and tell Meng Jin that the person who took your Gu King is called Xu Zichen," he said with a smile, "If you have the guts, tell him to come to the foundation to find me."

Among the exploration team members who had no idea what was going on, Bai Jinshu suddenly figured it out.

Xu Zichen said he would come to the "Foundation" to find him.

This Brother Meng knows about the foundation, but he is not from the foundation.

This time they...

"This time we..."

Get the space.

"The project that entered..."

"Did you accidentally enter another organization's Gu field?"

The author has something to say:

Glad no one guessed my core mechanics this time :p

How can anyone think that sugar is a high school graduation? It's college!

I'm late again. I won't be late again when I get home from school tomorrow, and I can finally resume posting three updates a day! The first 20+ random 20 red envelopes will be given.
