Chapter 23 Fuck the Stability of the World
After the holiday, Yin Jiu continued to study step by step.
He spends most of his time alone in school, and only occasionally goes out with his classmates when there are group projects that require collaboration.
Sometimes when I don’t have many classes, I will play ball with my three roommates.
Maintain your own pace and live with goals and rhythm.
It seems that he has completely forgotten that he is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the world.
The system no longer urged him and spent most of its time with Li Xinzhu, watching him struggle to start his own business.
Without his scumbag ex Lin Jin paving the way for him, Li Xinzhu's road to success in this life would be much more difficult. Originally, he had more time to slowly settle down, but with the stimulation of his first love boyfriend going out to make money, he suddenly became eager for money and status.
In the original plot, Li Hsin-chu spent half a year building up momentum for himself, then became an instant hit on a talent show during the Spring Festival, and continued to advance triumphantly.
But now, because of his impatience, he has embarked on the road of short video hype, promoting his songs on major platforms from the perspective of passers-by being shocked. However, due to insufficient funds, his works are crudely made. He had no choice but to seek help from his friends, including luxury car brother Hu Zheng, and his rich second-generation roommate.
As a reborn person, Li Hsin-chu has stored many future hit songs in his mind, and he also knows in advance which unpopular film and television works will become popular.
Li Hsin-chu wanted to be famous, very much. Throughout his life until his death, he dreamed of returning to the stage.
Only now, that feeling is more urgent.
Now there is a shortcut in front of him. As long as he can get the theme song for the unpopular TV series that will be released at the end of the year, his popularity will definitely increase. From then on, it will not be him who asks others for help, but others who ask him for help.
But it was difficult, he had no money and no connections.
Pray step by step, pray step by step, and before you know it, you will receive more and more blessings.
But he probably forgot that free things are the most valuable.
The system is unable to speak and can only worry.
It still hopes that Yin Jiu will follow the plot, so when it occasionally returns to Yin Jiu's side, it also speaks well of Li Xinzhu.
However, Yin Jiu remained unmoved. That midnight phone call seemed to have violated his taboo. From then on, no matter how the system spoke well of Li Xinzhu in front of him, Yin Jiu just listened for fun and forgot about it after listening. He had no intention of taking the initiative to contact them.
The system regretted returning to the headquarters. It had given the host too much freedom, allowing the host to do whatever it wanted.
He was so thorough that the system was a little irritated. After being perfunctorily treated once again, it exploded: "How can you be so kind to me? You scumbag, and you even said you would give me a good review after completing the task!"
After taking the book off his face, Yin Jiu felt a little embarrassed and said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"Perhaps you can consider the suggestion I gave you before and change the actor? Anyway, the protagonist should be Li Xinzhu, and there is no rule that the other protagonist must be me. Wouldn't it be better to change to a better one than to hang yourself on me?"
The system asked: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Hmm?" Yin Jiu lay on the grass, looking at it with half-squinted eyes.
"Aren't you afraid that the world will restart and you will cease to exist?"
Yin Jiu smiled and said, "To be honest, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Because in this world, there are no people or things worth lingering on.
It’s good to be alive, but if you can’t live, it doesn’t seem like there’s any loss.
He didn't say the rest, but the system got his meaning.
Yin Jiu, you have no family, no lover, and it seems you have no pursuits and no hobbies.
It seems that it is not wrong to say that he has no desires or demands.
Compared to the reborn uncle Li Xinzhu who is determined to become famous, sometimes the system feels that the 19-year-old Yin Jiu is more old-fashioned.
"Never mind. It's up to you."
When this sentence was said, the system was already completely disheartened.
After it left, Yin Jiu covered his face with the book again and fell into a half-asleep state.
Behind a tree not far away, a little cat was peeking out.
Want to get closer, but for some reason, don't want to take the initiative to get closer.
Yin Jiu curled the corners of his lips and had a brief dream.
It was an afternoon many years ago. The sky was gloomy and there was a heavy rainstorm.
He pushed open the door in the rain and walked into a pet store dripping wet. He asked the salesperson, "Which cat has the worst temper in your store?"
The salesperson looked a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, the cats in our store are very docile."
"Aren't there any unfriendly, fierce kittens?" Yin Jiu asked seriously. Seeing that the salesperson was still hesitating, he added, "I like those with bad tempers."
Perhaps because she had never heard of such a request before, the salesperson's expression changed several times before she finally nodded and said, "Yes."
"But the cat has a really bad temper. We are actually ready to return it to the breeding base tomorrow. If you are willing to take it away today, it will be considered as saving it."
Yin Jiu said, "Let's take this."
The salesperson was surprised and asked, "You have decided to buy it before you even see it?"
"Well, it sounds like you and I have a connection."
…
After the system left that day, it never came back.
It seemed that it had really given up. Everything seemed to have returned to the beginning, and Yin Jiuan was living his life quietly.
The rest of September passed in peace.
During the National Day holiday, Yin Jiu flew to snow-capped mountains abroad and had a great time for a few days.
Last time I skied, I didn’t have enough fun and had to stop. This time I have time to make up for it.
Then, while skiing, the system suddenly appeared in front of him again. Yin Jiu stopped in time and did not fall head over heels as he did when he first saw it because of distraction.
With a perfect one-foot drift to relieve the friction, Yin Jiu took off his goggles and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"
The system complained: "It seems that you have been living a comfortable life during my absence."
"Not bad." Yin Jiu didn't deny it.
The system was speechless. The host knew how to make the system angry.
Yin Jiu got straight to the point: "Just tell me, you don't come here for no reason. Don't say you came back just to see me this time."
The system was a little indignant: "Look at what you said, I can't be bored and come back to chat with you?"
"You're welcome anytime." Yin Jiu said this, but his tone didn't sound sincere.
The system said seriously: "I'm not going to talk to you any more. Let's get down to business. I'm here to break up with you."
Yin Jiu said playfully: "Have you chosen a new victim?" The system only hated that it had no body, otherwise it would have rolled its eyes at him, "You are still alive, where can I tie you up? I just came to dismantle a subsystem to monitor the progress. The main system is still in you. Don't say bad things about me in your heart, I can come back anytime!"
Yin Jiu said: "You mean, as long as I'm alive, you can't tie up other people?"
"So that's what you mean. Either you die or the mission is completed. Otherwise, it won't be that easy to untie you." The system hesitated and asked, "I'll ask you one last time. Are you really unwilling to fix the plot?"
"If you want me to save someone, I'll definitely do it, but in a romantic way..." Yin Jiu said, "It doesn't matter if I don't want to save this world."
"Okay, I got it."
As soon as the system finished speaking, Yin Jiu heard a strange sound, like wire being cut, or glass breaking.
Before leaving, the system chatted with Yin Jiuxian for a few more words, "Do you still remember Lin Jin?"
Yin Jiu said: "Ex-brother?"
The system complained: "Why do you always give people random nicknames?"
"Maybe because I don't want to remember their names." Yin Jiu replied.
Without further ado, the system said, "Lin Jin was expelled from school for violating the law and will be tried in court soon. You did it, didn't you?"
"But regardless of whether it was you who did it, Li Xinzhu has already determined that it was his roommate who did it, because he had previously shown his dislike for Lin Jin in front of his roommate, and then Lin Jin's scandal broke out two days ago. It was such a coincidence that Li Xinzhu directly put himself in the shoes of his roommate."
Yin Jiu said, "Why are you telling me this?"
Without answering his question, the system continued the previous sentence: "For Li Xinzhu, Lin Jin can be regarded as his nightmare, and the beginning of all his misfortunes in his previous life. So after knowing that Lin Jin was sanctioned, naturally, his emotions began to lean towards his roommate."
"Probably the day after tomorrow at the latest, my roommate will confess to Li Hsin-chu again, and there is a high probability that Li Hsin-chu will agree."
"Congratulations, host. Everything is as you wish. This little world is really going to become a battleground."
"But I'm not sure if the world consciousness will approve of it. Maybe it will be as you wish. Maybe it will restart the world."
"Host, you still have one day to regret."
System: "So what is your decision?"
Everything seemed to have returned to the beginning.
Yin Jiu suddenly had a vision of the scene when he first saw the system.
What did he answer at that time? It seemed that he said - of course, he tried his best to maintain the stability of the world!
This time...
Yin Jiu put on his goggles, pushed off the ground with his ski poles, and laughed wildly in the wind and snow.
He said, "Screw the world stability!"
