Chapter 120 Comic Update Barrage (skip) Magical Cyber Creatures...
The next day, the comics were updated.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and Chu Xiuyan was still in school. The pen was spinning rapidly between his fingers, leaving behind a series of dazzling afterimages.
He looked at the current time, and then looked at the teacher who was teaching slowly on the podium. This was a large class, and the classroom was full of people. There was a constant rustling of people, and many people were sleeping on the table. The atmosphere of college life was very strong.
Therefore, when the system that is detached from reality jumps out, there seems to be a subtle sense of separation.
[Amazing system, I noticed that your update time is becoming more and more random. 】
He still remembered the update time shown in the copy of "Disaster Counterattack"? It was every Tuesday and Saturday at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The system doesn't care: [I'm already very punctual by not updating at 3 a.m.]
Chu Xiuyan vaguely remembered that a long time ago, the image of the system was not so difficult to describe.
There is still about half an hour before the class ends.
He opened the comic software and planned to quickly read it in half an hour, and then go to his uncle Chu Wenxi's place. Of course, it would be even better if he could kick the door.
The last comic ended with the plot of Base 23. This update begins with the scene of the crawlers dragging the base covered by the blood-red barrier towards the Nether City.
Obviously, the system still couldn't forget Chu Xiuyan's "wandering ball".
The comments popped up very quickly, starting with [Occupy the sofa!] [Surprise! An update popped up at this point!], and then there were all kinds of immersive comments full of laughter.
[So the little? Theater Easter egg at the end of the last episode is actually the main plot? Ah, brother water monster, pitiful (light a candle) (no? mercy)]
[Wandering ball? Grass, little? Wandering O ball is here to ask you for copyright]
[The protagonist likes to enjoy the view from a high place, so cute 2333]
[Yunzai worked hard to take over the base, Dudu Snake worked diligently as the base's porter (courier delivery boy?), kidnapped (crossed out) and saved the entire base. Hey, everyone? All? Have a happy and beautiful future (sunny-thumbs up)]
[By the way, why is there only one updated episode this time? You are not good enough, author (pointing and gesturing)]
Chu Xiuyan reads: [You can’t do that, brackets, pointing, brackets. ]
System: [Your teacher is watching you.]
Chu Xiuyan was startled, and looked up cautiously, only to find that the teacher didn't even raise his head. He immediately realized that the system was bluffing him, and added a mark to the grudge book in his heart, and hummed as he turned the pages of the comic book.
The subsequent plot is roughly the same as what happened in reality. After arriving in Youdu, Zhang Chun and others took over Base No. 23, and then held a meeting.
This is the main plot development, mixed with a lot of small clips of Chu Xiuyan's dark history.
For example, he stood on the dome of the blood crystal barrier and called Zhang Chun loudly with a loud speaker, caught people everywhere with a small notebook to record various information, and performed a chase-and-kill version of parkour with Mingji in Youdu, etc.
[Seeing Yunzai standing on the dome and calling for help, I was really afraid that he would think? Something? Earthy, pretentious literature, for example? "The three-year period has come, and I, Yun Aotian, will lead my troops to conquer the world!" or "Oh, man, you can't escape from my palm"]
[The previous one, the styles of the two versions are different. Also, welcome to the Cloud Dragon King! ]
【Welcome to the Cloud Dragon King! 】
[I think uncles would like feather dusters (thinking seriously)]
[I am dying of laughter. There are too many little? details and Easter eggs in this episode… The arrow number pointing to? next to the coffin guy is 5, which should refer to his popularity ranking? Right? ]
[Will I see a chapter where everyone has rankings? Arrows and a big competition? Yes, I want to? Look at Yin-shi (dog head) By the way, Brother Coffin has risen to fourth place, not much behind Brother Chu Li... Just after this chapter was updated, the rise has been rapid. ]
[The new Big Three? They have already arrived, how can we stand still? ]
Chu Xiuyan was somewhat curious about what was being discussed in the forum, but he had not yet finished reading the comics, so he had to continue to patiently turn the pages.
After two pages, he found that the system skipped the scene of the confrontation with the perverted alien and directly jumped to the day when everyone set out the next day.
In other words, the previous page was still about a masochistic perverted alien climbing through the window and smilingly greeting "Yun Yan", and the next page was about the daybreak, the sea was calm and Zai Zhe and others said goodbye.
[Huh? Huh? ? ?]
[A new character? She looks plain, but... um, is she powdered? She looks like she's blushing, and her eyes look weird?]
[Ah, friends, a strange? Alien came to the protagonist's window in the middle of the night, and? And he looks familiar! What does it mean! What does it mean——? ! ]
[So, what happened last night? Don't open the window for anyone, Yunzi! ]
"I had a normal fight, and then was dragged by an uncle to listen to a lecture for a whole night."
Chu Xiuyan muttered quietly, and seeing the comments start to dig deeper into various places, he quickly skipped and continued reading the comics.
And the subsequent plot, Zai Zhe and Ming Ji's team, Chu Li and Wu Wang's team, the north and the south each have a small? storyboard, all? recorded remotely by the system holding a telescope.
When Zai Zhe was given the confusion debuff by the magic signal flare, the team that Chu Li was in in the north had just gotten off the off-road vehicle and was about to observe on foot, and "Yun Yan" in Youdu calculated with his fingers and felt that something was wrong and was about to go out to help, but was stopped by Zhang Chun.
This part has a faster pace and is performed simultaneously in three alternating lines.
In the south, Zai Zhe was in complete chaos, fighting against the alien mechanical spider troops that appeared in the desert for unknown reasons. Ming Ji flew in the sky to help, and the fight was just a trick to fish in troubled waters.
And? After a few frames, the camera turned to the north. After Chu Li and Wu Wang eliminated the desert lurking team, they were also ambushed by aliens.
The Northwest Stranger appeared in both the north and south at the same time, and the most terrifying thing was that Zai Zhe and Chu Li were actually at a disadvantage in the battle, and they were even very likely to be defeated in this seemingly ordinary little mission. The atmosphere in the picture became more and more bad, and the readers were anxious.
[Something is wrong! Where did all these strange people come from!? ]
[Fuck, Brother Chu Li! Brother Chu Li, what did you see? F-fuck, three puppeteers? ? Fuck, how dare you make Brother Chu Li kneel down? ? Tear your faces apart! (dirty words) (dirty words)]
[Help... The south is a chaos debuff that attacks both friend and foe, and the north is a despicable? -shameless psychological warfare, all of which? are targeting Zai Zhe and? Chu Li Ge's weaknesses. Priest, you deserve to be ooxxed. ]
[Where's the uncle? Doesn't he have a mission to go on? There won't be any traps there, right?]
[…Shit, an earth-type esper! I knew something was wrong—]
When danger appeared in the north and south at the same time, the readers' first reaction was "Danger, danger, danger, Yunzai, come quickly!"
As a result, the camera turned and the third line appeared. The young man in Youdu stared at Zhang Chun, who was covered in shadow filters, and said indifferently: "You gave them the wrong location of the enemy base... Your consciousness was affected by the Desert God, uncle, this is very dangerous."
Barrage: [What the hell! ? ]
[So that's how it is? So, was his consciousness disturbed so he misled his companions into the trap? No way, how painful it will be when he wakes up... (crying)]
「Ahhhh no way, uncle please don’t──」
Before the readers can continue to think about it, in the next scene, Zhang Chun, who was covered with dark and evil shadows, stared at the boy. He was silent for a long time and said in a deep voice: "...It is you who is affected, Yunyan."
The moment when the comments were crying?
【……yeah? 】
[Ah? ? ? No way, it’s Yunzai?! ]
[So, are you guys accusing each other of being wolves? (confused)]
[Damn it! Is there a detail that is too small to be magnified by the microscope? Did the team miss it? ]
[Could it be——the amnesia setting? Because Yunzai has recovered some of his memories, the uncle felt something was strange and mistakenly thought it was the influence of the desert god? ]
[It’s possible! Further exploration! Further report!]
Chu Xiuyan looked at the dialogue scene on this page and commented: [The shadow filter of the uncle here looks like an evil villain hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything... So why doesn't he lift up his bangs? ]
System: [I’m afraid that if my aura is too strong, I’ll be scolded if there’s a reversal later.]
Chu Xiuyan: [Laughing to death.]
Turning the page, in the top picture, after hearing the words "You are the one who is affected", the boy wearing a hood who looks no different from usual first slightly widens his eyes, then suddenly smiles, his eyebrows curved, and he looks quite happy.
Chu Xiuyan saw this scene and felt something was wrong, blaming the system: [So when the uncle judged that the problem was with me, why did I laugh?! Shouldn't it be normal to be unbelievable and say something like "Hey, since you found out, don't blame me for being cold" with a dark and sinister smile? ]
The system refused to be slandered and directly took out the truth: [Because you were smiling at that time, ask yourself what you were thinking at that time. ]
Chu·As if he had lost his memory, he couldn't remember what was funny at that time·Xiu Yan: [……]
He was silent for a while and skipped the topic without changing his expression.
But? He skipped it, but the readers didn’t.
Barrages of comments popped up one after another, with large question marks and exclamation marks appearing one after another, almost covering the content of the comics.
[Cloud Cub——No——]
[So what is the protagonist laughing at? Damn, there are so many hidden meanings in this scene. Is he thinking that Zhang Chun's guess is wrong and funny, or is he really right and so he revealed his evilness?]
[Is there a possibility that there are werewolves fighting each other here? ]
[The werewolf version of Yunzai has a crazier laugh, handsome and cute (slurp slurp)]
[Wait a minute, is this referring to the new character, Yi Ren? So it is that! Amnesia! Recovery!]
Chu Xiuyan had to cover his mouth to control his laughter. He looked away for a moment and raised his head to the podium. He was trying to calm down, but suddenly he saw several people in the middle of his field of vision, with their heads down, typing frantically.
He didn't really want to eavesdrop, but the voices of those people were so close that they seemed to be ringing next to his ears, so he had to listen.
"Fuck, why?! So did the protagonist recover from his amnesia or was he influenced by God?"
"My memory is restored after I lost it!"
"Class monitor, please keep your voice down. We are in the front row, be careful not to be discovered by the teacher... and I am standing here to discuss this!"
Chu Xiuyan rubbed his ears, […It’s a small world? ]
The system watched the fun: [Is it embarrassing? ]
Chu Xiuyan remained calm: [They are discussing Yunyan, what does it have to do with me, Chu Xiuyan? Besides, I have so many layers of vests on, I can't take them off! ]
The system starts beating the wooden fish.
In the rhythm of "+1+1+1"?, Chu Xiuyan continued to flip through the comics.
Zhang Chun's shadow filter, and the expression that even Chu Xiuyan himself forgot why he laughed, the two combined in a very magical way, misled the readers' guesses to irrelevant and increasingly dark and cruel ideas.
So much so that when the conversation between Zhang Chun and "Yun Yan" in the comic continued, expressing that he essentially wanted to make the boy realize that he was too protective of the people around him and hoped to trust others, most readers still didn't believe it.
[Uncle's words are very heartwarming. I hope Yunzai can be fine and keep my body warm. But I don't believe it. Uncle, tell me the truth. You are a wolf (cold)]
[Eh, think about it carefully? Think about it? Uncle's approach seems to kill four birds with one stone? Let Yunzi realize that the people around him are equally powerful, help Zai Zhe and Chu Li overcome their weaknesses (Uncle is monitoring and protecting them in the dark), and eliminate the mechanical spiders that the chief priest is ambushing in Youdu? The only problem is that Uncle's plan this time is too fast and too cruel, it feels a bit weird... So Uncle is a wolf. ]
【Killing God, male mother.】
[…The previous one reminded me that the uncle also has this setting… Shit, when will I be able to stop laughing when I see this combination of characters? Come on (pounding the table)]
[So what about Yunzai? When the uncle said "You are not a god" and "You came down from the sky", Yunzai seemed to smile again (scratching his head)]
[Ah, it seems like another big guy in the forum is analyzing the current situation. The God Theory is victorious, while the Amnesia Theory is defeated miserably ()]
The readers were so focused on “Who is the wolf?” that no one paid attention to Chu Xiuyan’s response at the time, “I’m standing on the ground.”
Chu Xiuyan: [I will break it gently. ]
But soon, he struggled to piece together the broken pieces of himself, and the comic ends with a huge scene of a sudden explosion from the north and south.
In short, the system does not have the ability to read minds, and can only roughly guess what Zai Zhe and Chu Li are thinking based on the developments before and after, and then highlight their breaking point from the side.
In short, if you want to cheat, you have to cheat hard.
In the comics, Zai Zhe, who had regained his sanity with great difficulty, cut himself with a knife, and then directly pointed out that this was all Zhang Chun's plan. In an instant, he was swallowed by the sand under him, leaving only the sentence "The last key is missing——".
And? To the north, Chu Li, who was also imprisoned, muttered to himself? "There is a door in my mind?", and? Then a dark line flashed across his fingertips.
The camera moved left and right, respectively focusing on the flat sand after Zai Zhe disappeared, and the dark lines on Chu Li's fingertips.
Then there was a vast expanse of darkness, and the further you scrolled down, the more frightening the darkness became.
Turn the page, end.
It breaks off abruptly? Stop.
There was a lot of wailing in the comment section.
[So! You're stuck here——?!]
No.
The system also released a preview.
A very rare preview of the next episode.
The two black and white pictures are more like rough illustration sketches than trailers.
These are the individual illustrations of Zai Zhe and Chu Li.
The former stands high in the sky, the sky and the earth hang upside down, the sand is pouring down like a rainstorm, and the stars are covering the earth like a river. Compared with the large area of the environment, Zai Zhe in the center of the picture seems particularly small, but the overall composition can clearly highlight him, and he must be the first person you see. The lines of the picture are crisp and clear, and the black and white tone shows a majestic atmosphere, and the visual impact is overwhelming.
And? The latter is a large area of black, like a pool of ink spreading out, spreading outward from the middle and becoming lighter and lighter, and? Located in the middle? is a half-open white door, as if emitting a faint light, and inside the door is a blurred and distorted figure, just slightly turned his face, revealing a pair of scarlet and cold eyes. And? Outside the door is Chu Li, who also turns his back to the white door, lowering his head, one hand on the door handle, and his dark eyes stare at the "person" behind the door, and the gloomy atmosphere seems to pass through the screen and tightly grasp the reader's heart.
Overall, the latter reveals more information, but the former is more handsome. The black and white color alone is enough to attract attention, making readers gasp and scream.
【Ah ...
[Oh my god, oh my god, this is a solo illustration! Awesome - the next chapter will be up soon! ]
[Since there are already three (the one with the water monster, right?), I guess there must be a complete set of illustrations, right? (Rubbing hands excitedly)]
…
The bell for the end of class? It rang.
System: [This time we returned to the real world too hastily, and you were busy playing in the maze tunnel, so I didn't understand the fundamental factors of Zai Zhe and Chu Li's psychological changes. You have to dig deeper into it later so that I can refine the plot based on their changes.]
Chu Xiuyan responded, picked up the books he had packed earlier, stood up, rushed into the crowded crowd and squeezed out of the classroom door. He seemed to hear someone calling him from behind.
But when he turned around, he saw nothing. He checked his phone and saw no one had contacted him, so he just pretended that he was hallucinating and continued to squeeze forward.
In the classroom at the back, several people gathered together chatting.
"Oh my god, how did Chu Xiuyan combine aloofness and cheerfulness so perfectly?" The guy with the buzz cut sighed, "I suspect he heard me calling him, but he deliberately ignored me."
"Don't think too much. There are so many people crowded at the door. It's possible that he simply didn't hear it."
Lin Jie was holding it? She was browsing the forum on her phone, and couldn't believe it: "So my amnesia stock is gone just like that?"
"Officially, the uncle has obviously realized that the protagonist is extraordinary. This is almost obvious." Her friend patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. How can a god with amnesia not be considered as having amnesia?"
Lin Jie slapped her hand down and angrily began typing frantically on the forum.
"So," a boy holding a pigtail and full of artistic atmosphere looked around, "What excuse should we use? To trick Chu Xiuyan into cosplaying as a character from "The Disaster" and attending the comic exhibition after the midterm exam? There is only one week left - Class monitor? Are you sure he is also a fan of "The Disaster"? "
Lin Jie said without even looking up: "Of course... I saw his nickname frequently appearing in the forum. Look, he's already here."
The other seven people lowered their heads and came over to look at Lin Jie's mobile phone screen.
A member account with a fancy avatar frame appeared in front of everyone. It was [I am the strongest], level 8, and stood out among the accounts of level 4, 5, and 6 in the forum.
They opened the class group and found the person with the same avatar and nickname, and it was indeed Chu Xiuyan.
"Damn, he's actually a veteran." The guy with the buzz cut? He exclaimed.
"Then the question comes back again. If we don't read private messages or answer phone calls, and we can't catch him in real life...how can we bring him to the comic convention?"
Everyone looked at each other.
…
"A-choo."
Chu Xiuyan sneezed. He had just gotten a car to go to Chu Wenxi's laboratory, and the journey would probably take more than half an hour.
While waiting for the bus, he called Chu Wenxi, but he didn't answer.
He called again, but no one answered.
After making five or six calls, he looked at the red phone number and blew a whistle.
"I'm ready to kick down the door."
He said excitedly.
And? On the way? He browsed the forum. The most popular topic on the forum homepage was a debate. The affirmative side was the God Theory, which was mainly composed of the major analytical players. The negative side was the Amnesia Theory, which was composed of... Hey, this nickname looks familiar?
System: [Your class monitor? Lin Jie. By the way, he is a chef who is good at both literature and painting. He has a lot of votes. Similarly, there are a lot of people cheering for him.]
Chu Xiuyan leaned back in shock, "Excitement!"
System: [One more thing, the editor sent you a message, um, a short time ago? Three days ago, but? You and? I? Didn’t see it…]
Chu Xiuyan continued browsing the forum without interest.
The system had no choice but to get straight to the point: [It's about the pre-sale and the book signing event. I'll calculate the schedule for you. The pre-sale will be tonight, the midterm exam will be a week later, and the book signing event will be held the second week after the midterm exam. At the same time, you will be given a physical personal illustration of the top three in popularity ranking, and you will need to stay in a certain museum for half a day.]
Chu Xiuyan was horrified: [Why would a lowly author like me hold a book signing event?! And? No matter how you think about it? There's no way anyone would come!]
System lights a cigarette: [Because neither of us saw that message, the editor simply took it as our default. ]
Chu Xiuyan was silent for a moment, and began to shirk responsibility: [System, can you think of a way to wear a vest and attend the book signing event? As a cyber creature, this kind of small thing is easy, right? ]
The system was blunt: [I am nothing compared to you. ]
