Chapter 156 Romance Contagion (19) (Comment to win a bonus) [VIP]
Just like the highest-end hunters, they often only appear as prey.
Out of habitual thinking, no one would suspect that a piece of candy is a piece of glass when they get it.
Benefits received without any reason will make people alert, but a golden finger falling from the sky will only make people feel that they are the chosen one.
All nine original books that have been obtained so far are kept in the hands of nine team members respectively. After Bai Jin finished saying this, the temporary group chat fell into a terrible silence.
After a long while, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out from a small wooden house.
At the same time, Xu Zichen's reply in the group chat also appeared: [High, high. ]
Guan Hongyan: […What are you crazy about again?]
The laughter was obviously Xu Zichen's.
Xu Zichen: [I laugh at the man who packed the bomb. He is such a powerful person. Who would have thought that the golden finger is the death warrant?]
Lu Changfeng replied seriously: [Yes, this golden finger disguise even fooled us at the beginning.]
Even the experienced exploration team members regarded "Romantic Contagion" as a golden finger when they first got it, and even used it to change the plot for the first time, snatching the [Baihua heroine] from the [Gentle Male Second] who was supposed to help the heroine.
In the cabin by the sea, Xu Zichen held his mobile phone in one hand, and on the table in front of him were the two books of "Romantic Contagion" that were combined into a new story.
He was half lying on the sofa with a piece of grass root in his mouth, laughing, but his expression was completely different from the coldness: [Cen Bingqi is right, owning the original work is the beginning of disaster.]
All those who got the original work woke up from this absurd world and thought that they were the most special one among all living beings. They thought that the male and female protagonists were just so-so and that the plot rules could be used for their own purposes.
This space has entered the countdown of a snowball, and the original owner who thinks he is special has stepped into the deeper nesting of this world.
The moment they realized what the book was about, the gears started turning.
As long as this person finds something wrong and starts to explore the book and the world, he will definitely get close to the protagonist to verify whether the content of the book is true. When he takes this step, the snowballing ending is already doomed.
Before they knew it, the world had actually paid for this gift.
The holder is not the point, the original work is.
No matter who it is, no one can escape from this vicious circle after getting the original book. What will happen after getting the original book is simply a calculation of every weakness of human nature to ensure that the ending will all lead to the direction of space snowballing.
That is, once the original work appears in this world, no matter who holds it, the ending of this snowball will come sooner or later.
The investors in the live broadcast room also seemed to come back to their senses in an instant, and the barrage instantly caused a small explosion:
[Fuck, this space.]
[Cen Bingqi means that this original work is the initiator of the fusion and entanglement between the book spaces? ]
[Hiss...hiss...I feel like my CPU has been burned.]
[This move is so vicious. ]
Yeah, this trick is quite vicious.
[If someone stops you on the street for no apparent reason and wants to give you 300 yuan, you will suspect that he is a scammer, or that he wants you to apply for a membership card. Most people will choose to avoid him.] Bai Jinshu typed a line of words in the group chat.
[And if one day you suddenly find out that the world you live in is a book, and you happen to get the original book, 80% of people will probably believe it after a few verifications.]
Although it was just words, everyone seemed to be able to hear the voice of the typist from the text.
Coincidentally, everyone inside and outside the screen shuddered.
The barrage in the live broadcast room continued to explode:
【I will believe it. I really will believe it.】
【……I also. 】
[I tried putting myself in his shoes, and I realized that no one can escape this! ]
[I tried to imagine, what if I learned that my world was actually a novel, and then this book suddenly appeared in front of me. This extra book cannot be destroyed, and words cannot be added, but things that happened in the real world will inexplicably appear in it, and the cognition of people around me will also change with the records of words, who can not believe this! ]
[Yes, there is no escape. ]
[If it were my own space, I might still have doubts, but this is Mary Sue's world! ]
This is the crux of the problem.
This is such a weird Mary Sue world. Any native of this Mary Sue world who obtains the book and wakes up will realize the absurdity of the world they live in.
Because the book is real and the world is real, once the strongest initial suspicion is confirmed, the book holder's trust value will immediately increase significantly.
As the original book brings more and more benefits, the original book holder becomes more and more dependent on the book. When he finds a small flaw in the original book, the first choice of the holder is not to discard the book and return to the state of ignorance. Instead, he will take the initiative to attack and use the information gap to kill the book holder at the other end of the suspicion chain first, so as to ensure that he can continue to use the original book and be independent of the world with the bonus of the original book owner.
A Loving Family: [The original novel is true, and all the plots revealed are also true. Sobriety is true, and the benefits gained through the original novel are also true.]
Faced with such an urgent reality, countless owners of the original works are naturally willing to give it a try.
*
Getting the original work did not solve the problem, but instead led to bigger problems.
The book that constantly produces text has gone from being a golden finger to a hot potato.
In order to prevent these books from merging if they are not properly kept, the exploration team can only put these hot potatoes in different rooms to ensure that the original books will not merge.
It is still unknown whether the fusion of 1 and 18 is due to the contact between the two original works or due to other reasons. To be safe, the eight exploration team members each held the eight original works currently in hand and returned to the building from the island.
No one dared to put this kind of thing in Olds Business School, so the storage location was changed to Xuanyuan Mansion, which is now 8,000 meters high.
In order to compete for the title of the number one chaebol, construction companies here can build buildings to a height of 8,000 or 10,000 meters upon request. When built to such an altitude that airplanes can cruise, the oxygen is thin and everyone must wear oxygen masks to ensure normal breathing.
Before, everyone would feel a little funny when seeing this building that completely violated the laws of physics. But now, when helicopters land on the roof of the building and everyone opens the cabin door wearing oxygen masks and enters the building, no one feels relaxed about such a realistic Mary Sue anymore.
Everyone silently placed the original books in their hands in a safe, and then carefully stored the books in different rooms. Hong Yuan, who came back last, took the books to a separate room and opened the door of the conference room.
The remaining ten people were sitting at the round table. When they saw him coming, Cen Bingqi spoke first.
"Now there are two questions and two directions of investigation," Bai Jinshu sat in the middle. "The first is the origin of the original work. How did this thing appear? The second is the consequences of fusion. What will happen if the fusion continues?"
"If we extend this further, we can continue to investigate the former direction. There are so many people in the world, and although the appearance of the Book Holder is a conspiracy, he is still relatively special. So how is the candidate for the Book Holder defined?"
"The second is that the worlds will merge, and after the fusion, one male and one female protagonist will be randomly reduced to ensure that only one pair of protagonists appears in a book. Then how are the appearance and disappearance of the protagonists defined? What kind of person stays and what kind of person disappears?"
He listed all the problems he was facing in a clear and organized manner, and looked up at Hong Yuan who had just entered here: "Okay, now that everyone is here, do you have any ideas?"
"As for the origin of the first original work, I tend to go directly to other original work owners," Guan Hongyan said bluntly, "We have always wanted to figure out where the original work came from, but Shi Linling's sudden amnesia disrupted all our plans. This time, the time for seizing the original work is urgent, and coupled with the fusion of the original work, no one thought of this at the first time."
"Since the focus of the world's problems lies in the original work rather than the owner, we can focus on how the owner obtained the original work."
"If there is some commonality among the candidates for the holders, it will definitely be reflected in this process, and it will be easier to find them."
"Agree." Yun Tian and Zhang Ying nodded.
"I think so too," Lu Changfeng nodded. "All current rules are based on the original book, which means this thing is indeed one of the most important items in the rules. If we find out its origin, we may be able to figure out the core of the rules."
The exploration team members nodded in twos and threes.
"Cen Bingqi?" Guan Hongyan looked at Bai Jinshu.
"I have no problem," Bai Jinshu nodded slightly, "but how to get the words out of them depends on the situation."
That's true.
No one can guarantee that these holders are willing to communicate with them, nor can they guarantee that the holders who are willing to communicate are telling the truth.
"Well... don't worry about it." Guan Hongyan moved her wrist.
"Cen Bingqi, your behavior today has inspired me," she said with a slight curl of her lips, "give me the money first, and then punch me if I don't give in."
What binds them now is the rule that any supporting character that appears will pull them into the new world, and the probability that the original holder is not the protagonist and will be recorded in the book is extremely small.
Since it won’t be recorded in writing, can’t you just hit me whenever you want?
Bai Jinshu watched Guan Hongyan's hair change from the bright yellow of warning after she discovered that the gold finger was a nuclear bomb this afternoon to the red representing happiness. In his heart, he silently mourned for the original owner who was about to be found by her.
Hope everyone is okay.
As for another question, Xu Zichen also had a new opinion.
"At present, we don't know what the consequences of the world merger will be, unless we start the integration now and then obtain information in a suicidal way." Almost like a control group, after discovering the truth of the original work this afternoon, Xu Zichen's mouth has been smiling, "But I have a new entry point."
Bai Jinshu raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"King of Gu," Xu Zichen said, "After confirming that the space opposite is a bound volume of Long Aotian, we know that there have been countless Long Aotian protagonists in the Long Aotian world. There are even so many of these protagonists that they have formed a code of conduct for breaking off an engagement."
In other words, none of the original works of these protagonists have been merged. Otherwise, those disappeared protagonists will definitely be forgotten by all the natives, just like [domineering male protagonist] Baili Xiaofeng, who was completely wiped out of all traces in this world after failing to compete for the protagonist in the original work, as if such a person did not exist in the first place.
If the Gu King chose to merge, the world would never have become like this.
"The person opposite is the Gu King who holds hundreds of original books," Xu Zichen curled his lips, "He must have more knowledge than us exploration team members who have just entered this space not long ago. He must have his reasons for choosing not to merge the worlds."
Could this reason be related to the core of the rules?
Instead of messing around here, it would be better to go directly to the Gu King for confirmation.
"But there is a problem," Xu Zichen's voice suddenly turned down, "If you go to talk to the Gu King as the holder of the original book, you will definitely be at a disadvantage. The other party may not be willing to communicate on an equal footing."
After all, he is the Gu King who holds hundreds of original books. Even if he did not choose to merge and looks like a good person, those hundreds of original books in his hands cannot all be handed over to him willingly by the original owners, right?
Guan Hongyan: "...What's the difference between you saying it and not saying it?"
Therefore, the only way to communicate with the Gu King on an equal footing is to turn yourself into a Gu King.
So no matter what you want to investigate in this world, the final investigation method is the same.
Otherwise, you will become the Gu King.
Otherwise, you'll become a Mary Sue.
The methods of becoming the Gu King are also very similar.
Or spend money.
Or give it a punch.
"You can just go and punch them one by one," Xu Zichen said more beautifully than singing, "and then grab the original book after you punch them!"
...It's so immoral and self-righteous.
"That's easy to say," Guan Hongyan complained silently, "Go find it..."
Even though she had been among the top chaebols for so many years, she was still not able to accurately identify all the holders.
The holder needs to be familiar with the history of all the characters' rise and various actions in the original work, so that he can pick out some prophetic parts from the vast number of decisions.
Not all original stories are as simple as F4, where the problem can be solved by simply tying people to an island.
Just then, she heard Cen Bingqi's voice.
"Finding the owner... is actually quite simple."
Everyone at the table looked over suddenly.
Cen Bingqi, a man with a strange split personality who is sometimes a capitalist, sometimes a great writer, sometimes explodes, and sometimes hangs on a street lamp, has now come up with a very wonderful idea.
He said: "In fact, in a very inexplicable Mary Sue world, people with normal logic are very conspicuous."
"For example," he raised his eyes, "in a world where the youngest daughter of a wealthy family can easily mobilize her brother to buy out all the world's stocks of a certain commodity, if you are the original novel owner and know the plot at the speed of light through text, what would you do?"
Guan Hongyan:?
"What?" She was puzzled. "Get close to this heroine and use her preferences to buy what you like?"
Isn’t this the same routine for all original authors?
Just like Shi Linling and that senior student Qiu.
"Of course not," the split personality opposite her gave her a look as if she was looking at a fool, "It's about hoarding goods. Do you have any business sense?"
"Soon this product will be out of stock worldwide, and the big losers who buy it out of stock have no shortage of money, and will buy it at any premium."
"You're a bastard who doesn't want to make money," said Cen Bingqi, who had appeared online at some point, coldly pushing his nonexistent glasses. "In exchange for the fact that we can predict when ice cream will be out of stock worldwide, let Gu Tiancai find large orders before the out-of-stock products run out in the next few months."
"I don't believe that all original copyright holders would be like Guan Hongyan and be willing to miss this business opportunity."
The author has something to say:
Guan Hongyan: Yes.
Guan Hongyan: Who are you calling a bastard?
I have been very busy these days. Today, the graduation photos and graduation ceremony are over, and Han Tang has finally graduated!
