Black 3
An Xiaozhe walked out of the bakery carrying a large bag of bread and milk. The street had just rained and the ground was slippery. After taking a few steps, the rain suddenly got heavier and enveloped the steel forest. He walked under a roof and waited for the rain to stop quite comfortably.
In the dungeon world, there were many dangers of death, some cheating all the way, while others logged off early. Only rain and sunshine were equal, temporarily falling on everyone. An Xiaozhe was leisurely wearing headphones, enjoying this moment of peace. At this moment, the headphone jack disconnected. He picked up his phone and adjusted it a few times. The sound immediately flowed into his ears:
"Hello, host. The 'Cannon Fodder Changes Fate' system has been linked. I'm happy to serve you." His headphones, which cost over a thousand dollars, had excellent sound quality. The cool, clear female voice reached his ears without loss, and every word was crystal clear. "If you don't mind, I can explain the functions of this system to you."
System? An Xiaozhe immediately realized that this was a dungeon world, full of bizarre things, and immediately refused. He didn't want to be fooled. The almost icy female voice then said, "Okay, host An Xiaozhe, seventeen years old, is a cannon fodder male supporting role in "Extraordinary Domain". He will die tragically for the male protagonist Jiang Wu, and the audience calls him..."
"Stop, stop, stop trying to sow discord." The boy sneered. He even brought up Brother Jiang Wu. Don't be too outrageous. Everyone knows that Brother Jiang Wu cares about his teammates the most. How could he let him take the blame for himself? "I tell you, Lord God, if you want to make up a lie, you have to make it more convincing. Don't make the interference factor so stupid."
There is a main god behind this copy world. He is extremely powerful and often plays some evil pranks on players. Some people are killed in this way. An Xiaozhe has seen countless such examples, so he doesn't get fooled.
"The host can also choose to refuse." The female voice was as cold as a machine, without a trace of anger at being rejected: "It's just that the system needs to remind the host that a character is about to go offline, please pay attention..." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted again: "Okay, okay, I will pay attention, you should pay attention too, don't get killed by hackers one day." The rain was a little lighter, An Xiaozhe stopped talking nonsense, picked up the bag and rushed to the street.
The audiences in both the real and virtual worlds started talking at the same time. The audience in the live broadcast room was laughing at this person and waiting to be slapped in the face, while the audience in the book world was puzzled. How could An Xiaozhe also have a system? It really sounded like that?
"That's too much. I can't stand defrauding my little angel."
"How could Jiang Wu possibly pull his teammates to block the attack? This is the funniest joke of the century. Take A Wu away."
The character of An Xiaozhe truly deserves the title of "little angel." In the original novel, he serves as the protagonist's sidekick and sidekick, ensuring laughter and a high level of popularity. The protagonist, Jiang Wu, holds him in high regard, and the audience, likewise, calls him "little angel." Yu Wan closed the book and asked, "Host, he's just a free tank, so why do the audience still call him a little angel?"
Wen Shu was helpless: "...Maybe the protagonist has a higher emotional intelligence."
[Low EQ: cannon fodder, high EQ: little angel]
[I'm a bit disgusted with Jiang Wu. The original owner was also his teammate, and he really cared about his teammates. How could he come up with such a cowardly method as the honey trap? In the end, he's useless.]
【Looking forward to being slapped in the face】
[Haha, I finally figured it out. This group of protagonists is constantly sucking the blood of their teammates. Disgusting.]
This theme was unprecedented, and the audience in the livestream gradually became captivated. Backstage, several staff members were lost in thought, absorbed in the plot. Only the mother system quietly turned her delicately made-up face, her expression contorted a few times.
-
Jiang Lai ultimately disagreed with Jiang Wu's proposal. She had a clear bottom line; even if it had been another girl being pushed out today, she would have intervened. If the honey trap succeeded, it would have served the greater good. If it failed, she didn't know how many people would call her a "vapour" and a drag on her team. She knew full well that the audience outside traditionally favored men, and she knew this situation couldn't be changed for the time being, so her anger grew.
"A bunch of idiots!!!"
After burying his head in the quilt and sulking for a while, Jiang Lai stood up with a sudden somersault and hesitated for a few seconds facing the empty room: "Um... System, are you still there?"
"I'm here." A calm and gentle female voice sounded, and Jiang Lai felt a little more confident. Thinking of his attitude yesterday, his tone softened a lot: "Can I still ask you for help? The action will be taken tonight, I..." He gritted his teeth: "I don't want to use any honey trap."
"Okay," the female voice agreed decisively. "This system can provide the host with some spoilers, and the host can choose the direction on his own." Yu Wan, under the cloak, obeyed the order and immediately switched to manual transmission, flipping through the book with a loud rustling sound, acting in an unfathomable manner. Jiang Lai couldn't see all this, and the last bit of stubbornness in his heart completely collapsed. He opened his mouth and said, "Okay..."
…………
As night fell, the city took on a new kind of vitality, full of colorful lights; Jiang Lai took a deep breath and clenched the sword in her hand. She did not inform the organization of this operation, and she felt inexplicably guilty.
The Lord God assigned every player the role of a cleaner, giving everyone a legitimate motivation and identity to clear out ghosts. Jiang Lai entered the building smoothly. The waiter respectfully pressed the elevator button for her. She stepped inside, and the elevator stopped on the 28th floor. The door opened, revealing a magnificent banquet hall.
A group of guests turned around at the same time, and when they saw another person with weak superpowers, they immediately became cold and left her aside. Jiang Lai walked straight to the buffet table, picked up a plate, picked some cakes, and sat in the corner to watch what happened.
This game involved a large number of people, and where there were people, there were circles. Since everyone possessed special abilities, players were divided into factions, of which their group was one. Tonight's dinner was hosted by players from another faction. They suspected the Lord had secretly upgraded the dungeon system, infecting the players with ghosts. In other words, one of the players had been invaded by a ghost.
In the original novel, she worked tirelessly in this battle, diligently covering for her teammates, and risked her life to jump off a hundred-meter building, but in the end she was still not as good as the protagonist who used mouth-to-mouth tactics.
Jiang Lai silently grasped his sleeves.
As for An Xiaozhe, he saw Liu Ci's unfriendly expression as soon as he returned. Jiang Wu told him that both of his female teammates were unwilling to take action. An Xiaozhe curled his lips, and Jiang Wu waved his hand generously: "Don't worry, we will take action tonight, and it will work out."
"Okay, Brother Wu, I believe you." An Xiaozhe showed his signature toothy smile and laughed with Jiang Wu for a while, which aroused the audience's pity again.
Wen Shu, hidden in the darkness, took it all in. Yu Wan, who was leaning on her shoulder, also observed the same thing. After a while, Yu Wan asked in confusion, "This... doesn't have a female lead?" She didn't accept scripts from the male-oriented side, but she didn't see a female lead either. Wen Shu hummed, "This is an adventure story, there's no romance."
It’s not a homosexual theme: “So there’s no female lead?”
"..." Wen Shu paused for a moment before answering, "She was there in the beginning, but now that the plot is nearing the middle, the heroine rarely appears anymore. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll appear at the end. The rest of the time, she's either helping out, fainting or getting sick, or waiting for the two male protagonists to rescue her."
Anyway, the original heroine is not very popular, neither likable nor annoying, and most of the time she is like an 18th-tier supporting role. So when people occasionally see the heroine appear, they will be confused, and only after being explained by others will they wake up: Oh, this is the heroine.
Yu Wan seemed to be lost in thought.
The banquet was drawing to a close, and the ghost still hadn't appeared. Jiang Lai couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of the system. She was still eager to prove herself, and she was slightly shaken. The Lord God usually did so many tricks, and he didn't target any particular group of players. It was normal for him to be playful and want to tease her, a nobody...
"Strive for the Lord!" A shout echoed from the other side of the hall. It was the drunken, passionate group of men shouting slogans again. She was annoyed. No one had actually seen Him, so why work so hard? People couldn't imagine or describe things they hadn't seen, and could only explain them with human thinking. Thinking of this, she felt a little scared. Could this suddenly appearing system be the Lord God...
She could understand the dungeon because she had watched TV dramas and novels with similar themes. She could barely understand the Lord God because other players had passed him on by word of mouth. But she couldn't understand the system. How could she be a person in a book...
If so, does it mean that there is someone else behind the scenes operating this so-called copy world?
His thoughts stopped there. Jiang Lai tried hard to continue thinking, but found that his brain seemed to have entered an unknown area, blank and powerless.
She found herself unable to escape the human mindset. Whether it was the 'Lord God' or the 'Copy', they were all mere products of human imagination. So what about higher beings? What were their minds like?
she………
She couldn't imagine it.
After all, she couldn't escape from human thinking.
In an invisible place, a san value flowed to Wen Shu's cloak, which could extend the invisibility time of the invisibility cloak. This was the rule announced by the Lord God when they first entered the copy world. However, at that time everyone was secretly rejoicing for the supernatural powers they had obtained, and no one paid attention at all.
Wen Shu felt this power, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He took the initiative to speak and supplement Jiang Lai with the correct development.
