Chapter 844 Chapter 6: Mediocre
The sound of keyboard tapping echoed in the office.
For him, enjoying an office all by himself was simply a luxury.
I have always been the center of attention, and everything I do seems funny to others.
Originally, Lin Ziyu had no idea why this happened, but now, he understood.
My previous life was just being manipulated by others, as boring as a puppet.
"Team Leader Lin! Help me take a look! What's wrong with this program? Why does the game report an error after embedding it?"
A programmer rushed into the office and begged.
"Small problem."
After making a series of modifications to the code, Lin Ziyu looked at the man with a smile: "Code is also alive. Respect it and be more responsible."
"Team Leader Lin, you're truly a romantic, but what life can code have?"
The programmer thanked Lin Ziyu and left.
But what he said still echoed in Lin Ziyu's mind.
"Code...isn't it alive?"
He sat back in his chair, his face reflected in the dark screen.
I am just a string of data, a life typed out by someone on a keyboard. Everything that has happened before was a life arranged by others.
That's right.
Lin Ziyu clenched his fists.
It's not your fault if you are afraid, retreat, become weak, or say things that make people laugh and cry.
It's because someone assigned these lines to me, and I can't disobey him.
But now it's different.
Lin Ziyu smiled and picked up the photo frame on the table.
The photo frame contains the wedding photo of Lin Ziyu and another girl.
"Xiaojuan, I love you..."
"Zi Yu!"
Bang! The door was kicked open, and a voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar reached his ears, along with the security guard's roar.
"What's wrong with you? I told you that non-staff members are not allowed to enter! Hey! Get out!"
Three or four security guards were dragging a man, and after seeing this man, Lin Ziyu was also dumbfounded.
"team leader......?"
"See?! See?! He knows me! Let me go!"
Several security guards stared at Lin Ziyu in surprise.
The latter waved his hand: "He... is my friend, let him go first."
The three security guards then let go.
Li Muhan also got confirmation that he really had no power in this strange world, just like an ordinary person.
"Zi Yu, come on, I'll take you away from here!"
Li Muhan stepped forward and grabbed Lin Ziyu's hand and was about to leave, but found that Lin Ziyu was standing there motionless.
"Zi Yu?"
"Captain, isn't this world a good one?"
"What...did you say?"
Lin Ziyu slowly broke free from Li Muhan's hand and let out a long sigh.
"Actually, I've been living in this world for three years."
"What?!"
Li Muhan was extremely surprised, but he still tried to remain calm.
"Zi Yu, this world is very strange, but I met a woman who should be able to help us return to our own world. Let's go, let's leave here first."
Li Muhan tried to pull Lin Ziyu again, but this time Lin Ziyu took a step back.
"There are no aliens in this world, no special management bureau, and no dangerous things. Captain, you said this world is strange, but have you ever thought that the strange thing is our world?"
"Are you... okay in your head?"
"I've accepted reality. We were all just characters in someone else's writing, a string of codes and numbers. But you're different, Captain. You're the protagonist. You have everything: great power, a woman who loves you, and everyone revolves around you. But you... what do you think I am?"
"I am always the spice of the atmosphere, like a clown, saying something that makes others laugh."
"Clown? This is my past life. The funny thing is, this clown's life is incomplete. If the author who created us forgets me, I might even have to wait several months before I can make an appearance again."
"Isn't that strange, Captain? I'm also a living person."
He picked up the photo frame on the table and handed it to Li Muhan: "Do you remember that I once told you that I was in love online? Now I am married to her. Her name is Ruojuan. She is now my wife. We got married a year ago, Captain."
"This world is the real world... Here, I can use my talents and expertise. I'm now the head of programming at a gaming company. Everyone likes me and relies on me. I have my own life."
"If you like, come to my house for dinner after I get off work, Captain, and I'll introduce you to my wife."
"Now... please leave, Captain. I have to work."
Li Muhan stared blankly at the man in front of him.
He found it hard to believe that Lin Ziyu actually believed this scam.
Believe that this world is real, or in other words, they are all virtual characters.
"Lin Ziyu!"
Li Muhan roared.
"This is not your home! This is not our world! Everyone in Team 7 is running around looking for you! Have you forgotten them?! Su Xue! Yin Qi! Lu Yunxue, and Chen Yiming! Have you forgotten them all!?"
Lin Ziyu's body trembled slightly, then he turned around and waved his hand.
"Those are merely characters arranged by that so-called author, and these plots are also contrived. Only by escaping that world, can I truly act on my own will. Captain, please leave now. I have a meeting soon."
Li Muhan wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words back.
He said nothing, turned around and left the building.
At the entrance of the building, the woman was holding two cups of coffee in her hands. When she saw Li Muhan coming out covered in dust, she handed a cup of coffee to Li Muhan.
"See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"I don't know what tricks you played, but I tell you, I will definitely take him away."
Li Muhan didn't take the coffee, but just glared at the woman.
"Why are you taking him away? Isn't he living a good life now? He has his own job, his own subordinates, a beautiful wife, and a happy family. Are you going to take him back and let him continue to be your supporting role?"
“…” Li Muhan didn’t say anything.
The woman continued, "The author gave you this character setting. You always firmly believe in a point and will go all the way towards that point. I know everything about you, Li Muhan, because I also participated in some of the work when you were created."
"Don't say these weird things to me anymore. I will never admit that everything everyone in that world fights for is just..."
"It's all just a farce that's not popular with readers."
The woman said with a smile.
"It was fine at first. The plot of you being dumped by your ex-girlfriend and the portrayal of her rather annoying personality attracted quite a few readers and sparked discussion. But then, alas, the author got too self-righteous and went off the track."
"If you follow the original plan, your life will be all about constantly slapping the faces of rich second-generations, pretending to be cool, becoming stronger, and being surrounded by beautiful women, all of whom will be included in your life."
"......Shut up."
"This kind of story is old-fashioned, but it's very enjoyable. This is the kind of story that can cater to the market and readers, not the self-righteous story written by that idiot about you sacrificing yourself for the world and fighting against everything."
"Shut up!"
Li Muhan grabbed the woman's collar hard, and the coffee slipped from her hands and spilled all over the floor.
"Whether it's Prometheus or the End! Those who sacrificed! In your mouth! Are they so insignificant?!"
"Who cares?"
The woman had a cold smile on her face.
“We just look at the data.”
"But there's still a chance." The woman's hand gently covered the back of Li Muhan's hand: "Your character is good, so I plan to make you the protagonist of another book, Li Muhan."
"No, what you said is very contradictory. You clearly only said that you are an editor. Why do you..."
Before Li Muhan finished speaking, he saw the woman smiling even more happily.
"To you, he is indeed the creator of all gods, but to me? He is just someone who can be replaced at any time..."
"It's just a defective product."
"Come on, I'll take you to meet your creator and show you what a mediocre piece of shit he is who created you."
