Original Heroine 6
The situation was so unfavorable that even Yu Wan's fans were starting to predict the outcome, saying it was going to be a different story. Some people were also curious, wanting to see how Yu Wan would break through.
[No matter what, I hope she can protect the heroine]
【Come on, system, we all support you】
I'm a little reluctant to watch this. Although the script isn't something she can control, being so indecisive is really annoying and frustrating.
[Alas, it's not that she's not up to the task, it's that the enemy is too cunning]
…………
The main system ignored these comments that cheered Yu Wan on. After all, it was the main system and it could do whatever it wanted. Even the audience had no right to interfere. Seeing that the audience was angry, it adjusted the parameters of several characters, and countless bad comments once again rushed towards Yu Wan with an astonishing momentum.
This live broadcast room is on a list with a lot of exposure. You can see it by clicking on the homepage. Most of the viewers just follow the crowd. When they click in and see the irritating plot and the barrage of comments, even if they haven't fully understood the reason, they will naturally join the team to attack Yu Wan.
What's even more terrible is that Yu Wan's information card shows that she is a female system, so she will naturally be judged more. She glanced at the mortal loser's counterattack broadcast on the male system next door, which also had a high traffic. The male protagonist was also temporarily at a disadvantage. The barrage was all about [big picture], [bearing humiliation], and [romance between men]. There was not a single bad comment, and it seemed very united.
Unfortunately, from the moment Yu Wan was knocked out, he was doomed. After so many days of bad energy finally released, the main system felt refreshed and even had a hypocritical regret.
It has always been like this.
-
In the Regent's Palace, autumn is deepening.
Zheliu carefully followed the system's instructions, winding around for a long time before finally stopping outside a side courtyard that didn't look like anyone was living there. The mechanical voice in his head then became even more excited: "Yes, this is it! The original heroine hasn't eaten in days. The host will definitely defeat her."
"But..." Zhe Liu's face was pale. Seeing that she was still hesitating, the system simply used force to shock the girl. The girl broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain. It continued to threaten her. After a while, Zhe Liu adjusted her breathing, forced out a slightly stiff smile, and pushed the door open.
The system had given her a character who was silly and eccentric, and spoke harshly. After a confrontation, Huiyin, who had originally been unwilling to argue, finally got irritated. She struggled to her feet, her body wobbling, and she looked like she couldn't even walk steadily. Zheliu apologized frantically in his heart, and if possible, he would even go against the system's instructions and help her.
"What are you doing?" The servant whose parameters were adjusted by the main system rushed in. Although he had respected Huiyin before, he had no control over the situation anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and started to slap her. Huiyin would not resist anyway, as this was all adjusted by the main system.
The slap landed with a crisp sound, followed by a scream; the environment was too damp and dark, Zhe Liu and the audience could not see anything clearly, they only knew that Hui Yin was beaten, they wanted to help but didn't dare, they gritted their teeth, lifted their skirt and ran away.
[This book-traveling girl is invincible. She doesn't even have basic sympathy. Disgusting.]
[Where's that teacher who said he wanted to write a book where the hero and heroine both torture and kill a time-traveling woman? Pen, pen, I want to read it now.]
Zheliu couldn't see the crazy mockery directed at her by the online comments. She just wanted to find someone to pull the servant away. She was a little confused. Why were the people in the mansion getting weirder these days? First, the formerly mild-mannered Eunuch Liu, then the simple and honest servants. It was as if they had all changed overnight, madly targeting Huiyin. Out of a person's most basic conscience, she was very scared.
The noise in the house continued. Because the movements were so loud, several of the surrounding furnishings were knocked over. The audience was both scared and curious. Just as they were discussing whether Huiyin would die, a figure kicked open the door and sunlight came in.
【this……】
Oh, it was pushed open from the inside. The comments were slightly disappointed. It seemed that he was not a hero saving the beauty. My heart was hanging in my throat again. The sun was shining directly on his face, but the back of this servant looked very proud. Could he have done something unspeakable to Huiyin?
【Um? 】
The person who stood up was Huiyin. While fighting, she tied up her long hair, took off her loose coat, and knocked the man down with all her strength. She picked up the tip of the hairpin and poked him in the face. She didn't know whether the man was blind or not, but he fainted.
The sun was shining brightly as she walked out of the courtyard, clutching her hairpin. Her expression was indifferent, as if she had shed her status as a court lady in the palace and transformed back into the arrogant and imposing young lady of a noble family, looking down on everyone. The audience and the main system were momentarily unresponsive, and the barrage screen was blank.
"That's it!"
The trembling sound of Zhe Liu could be heard. She lifted the hem of her skirt and stumbled forward, without any of the ancient manners. Then she bumped into Hui Yin head-on. Turning her head to meet that serious face, her legs shook instinctively: "I... I was wrong..."
Huiyin: “…………”
Yu Wan: “…………”
System: “…” Where is the bravery you promised?
Behind them was a large group of people summoned by Zheliu. After all, the main system didn't control everyone in the palace, so their expressions were a little hard to describe for a moment. Zheliu reacted and stood up with a swift movement. Huiyin, who was half a head taller than her, looked down indifferently, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, but it didn't seem like a smile.
Fortunately, fortunately...
Zheliu glanced at the person opposite her a few times, and when she was sure that he really had no intention of hitting her, she patted her chest as if celebrating having escaped death.
[So this guy was just... calling for help?]
How is that possible? It feels like they just want to establish a kind character so that they can capture Xie Ling. Yue.
[Although... why do I find it a little funny?]
[She was never a bad person, was she? In the end, it was still that human trafficker system that harmed two innocent girls.]
"Get out of the way." Huiyin uttered the word with a cold expression. It was not because she wanted to act cool, but because she hadn't had a good rest in the past few days and was too tired. She didn't want to say a word. Zheliu obediently got out of the way, and Huiyin continued to stride forward holding the hairpin.
The main system finally reacted. Seeing that the atmosphere of the barrage had deviated from its expectations, it angrily requested that the backend adjust the character parameters again, until it reached the worst possible level. Then, after much deliberation, it gritted its teeth and leaped into Eunuch Liu's body.
It just didn't believe it. If it personally took action, would Yu Wan dare to do it again? At the same time, Qin's pupils in the background dilated, gradually turning into a pair of cat's eyes, realizing something...
In the end, she didn't send a message to Yu Wan. While no one was paying attention, she silently tapped the operation button.
"Where is Hui Dianyan going?"
As Huiyin walked onto the path, she ran into Eunuch Liu. His malice was even stronger than last time, radiating directly from his green eyes. After looking her up and down, he grabbed her arm and said, "The prince hasn't said to let you out yet. How come Dianyan doesn't even understand this little bit of etiquette?"
"Yeah?"
"Why not?" The main system's eunuch was quite good at it, and said in a pinched voice: "We are just following the rules. Without the master's order, we dare not disrespect Dian Yan." It reached out and touched the long whip with a needle in its sleeve, and the cold light in its eyes became more and more visible. Since it couldn't whip Yu Wan, it would let her beloved host suffer a little. Anyway, the audience would scold her in the end.
The strategy of sowing discord is the most effective trick. So what if the audience can see it? The subsystem is the key to controlling the direction of the host. It has plenty of ways. The moment the whip was pulled, Huiyin ran away. The old eunuch's physical strength was not very good, and the main system tried hard to control it, but fortunately he caught up quickly.
This was the side door of the Regent's Palace. No one would normally pass by except for the servants who came to collect manure and spit in the morning. Even if he screamed, no one might hear him. The main system laughed in his heart and thought it was really stupid. He stopped talking nonsense and raised the whip to lash out.
It's really pitiful that I have to follow such a stupid system like Yu Wan.
“Puff—”
The main system caused the expression on Eunuch Liu's face to change. It was strange that the whip didn't make that sound. The next moment, it felt a chill in its chest. It looked down and saw that a sharp arrow had pierced through the chest of this body at some point.
There were blood holes at the tip of the arrow, and severe pain spread out: "You..."
It saw a bow and arrow that appeared out of nowhere and was hidden extremely secretly in the dry well. Huiyin's eyes were as cold as ice blades. She stepped forward and kicked the body over.
For the first time, the main system felt how terrifying it was to confront Yu Wan.
"You..." It tried to struggle in a panic. The long arrow in its heart was pulled out by someone rubbing against its flesh. It swayed a few times, whimpered in pain, and fell backwards into a pool of blood.
Qin quickly stood up and pressed the pause button: [What's going on! ]
This sentence was said to Yu Wan. Qin pulled back the live broadcast room of the system perspective, wanting to see what Yu Wan had done these days.
…………
The screen shows scenes from the past few days, but it is not a picture of Huiyin, but a personal picture belonging to the subsystem Yu Wan. She looks unchanged, and occasionally when she thinks, she still has that dazed look, giving people the illusion that she is not very smart.
She silently comforted the crying Huiyin, and when Huiyin fell asleep, she took out a bow and arrow from a pile of miscellaneous items. She found it from the pile of things that had not been put in yet. She also asked Huiyin to bribe a servant who delivered food, put it in a bag of old clothes and threw it into the well.
Of course Qin knew the main system's sinister intentions these days, which was to make Yu Wan compromise. However, Yu Wan not only had no reaction, but also allowed the host to be bullied by the NPC with adjusted parameters. It was so real that even she thought Yu Wan was incompetent.
She knew Yu Wan's character, but under these circumstances, she had doubted whether she would waver. Unexpectedly, she was actually planning to kill the main system and hadn't considered giving in at all.
The backstage was in complete chaos.
Eunuch Liu died. As a system, the main system could have been restored, but because the parameters of Eunuch Liu's character were adjusted too frequently, it became a bug when combined with the main system's code. The staff had never encountered such a situation before, and by the time they found a fix, it was too late.
The main system's most trusted and uninformed audience continued to cheer:
[Brave! What a great heroine]
[So this old man is just...dead? ]
The system finally showed some strength, not being a coward. No more words, here comes the deep-water torpedo.
[You should have died long ago. How dare a eunuch ride on the master's head? I give you face.]
…………
The main system held on to its last breath, but did not wait for support from the background. All it saw were countless cheering comments, which were cursing both Eunuch Liu and it. It was so angry that its face twitched, and it spat out the last mouthful of black blood, and its eyes became completely dim.
While the audience was displeased with Yu Wan, it was only displeasure; they genuinely disliked Eunuch Liu. They were so pleased with this slap in the face that they had no time to bother talking about Yu Wan anymore. Countless cheers and tips flowed in, some even posting emojis of people dancing over corpses. The main system could never have imagined that the same people who initially called for the deaths of Yu Wan and Zhe Liu would become the final straw.
Huiyin was very efficient. She stripped off Eunuch Liu's gorgeous eunuch clothes and smeared his face with mud to prevent his identity from being recognized. Then she called the idle man who had been waiting outside the door with a cart, gave him some money, and asked him to take the body out of the city and burn it.
The audience didn't feel any cruelty at all, they just wanted to have fun. As the screen turned black, it turned out that the live broadcast was paused. The official explanation given was that everyone should take a break and protect their eyes.
-
Backstage.
Yu Wan felt that she had done nothing wrong. Facing Qin's questioning, she still said, "My mission is to protect the host."
"Teacher, you also said that as long as it is from the female protagonist's perspective, the host is always the first protagonist."
Qin: “…………”
Perhaps it was the last time she angrily attacked the main system that gave her the illusion that Yu Wan had grown up. Now, looking at this silly little guy, she was still a little uncomfortable. Qin felt a mixture of emotions and raised her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose between her eyebrows to calm herself down.
There is still a big gap between the intermediate system and the advanced system. It has not developed independent consciousness and still has to follow the tasks issued by the upper system, but its emotions are a little richer. Therefore, she can temporarily conclude that Yu Wan killed the main system not out of personal revenge, but purely out of concern for the host and protecting her.
What could she say? Qin lit another cigarette and experienced for the first time the headache that the main system mentioned.
The main system was down, but the live broadcast had to continue because no subsystems were available. The revenue from this half was considerable. A group of systems sent a message to headquarters, but Yu Wan remained in the confinement room, soundly sleeping without any guilt.
Or maybe she doesn't have this concept at all.
Qin Momo covered her with a quilt.
Not long after, a system calling itself the Mother System came to the backstage. From the name, we can tell that this is a woman. If we interpret it in a deeper level, it should be better for the female hosts.
The mother system was indeed gentle, radiating a maternal glow, a stark contrast to the former main system, which was prone to anger. As a compromise, she personally restored the characters whose parameters had been modified, and would not embarrass Huiyin again.
All the staff members breathed a sigh of relief at once. God knew how much trouble the previous battle between the main system and Yu Wan had brought them. Not only did they have to stay up late every day to write code, but they were also always affected by the furious main system. This mother system seemed easy to talk to, but it takes two to tango. Yu Wan had better stop being so extreme.
The mother system called Yu Wan over and was very nice. She explained some new matters to Yu Wan and gently advised her not to be too extreme, as this was just a script.
Yu Wan looked at her new boss and felt something was wrong, but her tone was too gentle and Yu Wan couldn't say anything for a moment.
She really wanted the mother system to change the script, especially that Xie Ling, who was too scary. He either beat people or killed people, and could not guarantee the host's safety at all.
Huiyin's life returned to normal.
Zheliu's system taught her a lesson, first with electric shocks and then with water injections. Of course, all of this was done within her consciousness, but it was also very painful. Since she couldn't grab anything else to relieve the pain, she almost fainted.
The system warned her sternly.
The comments were initially relieved, but some people also started to speak up for her.
After what happened last time, Xie Ling did not repeat the same mistake and was easily conquered by Zhe Liu. Instead, he slowly turned his attention to Hui Yin. There were many maids and female officials in his mansion, each of them was talented and beautiful, well-educated and sensible. In addition, he often stayed overnight in the building outside, so it was a great honor for him to remember a woman.
The mother system also realized the inappropriateness of this setting, scolded him a few times as a "rotten cucumber", and then made some modifications based on the original task: the host will be bound to a King of Roll points system, which, as the name suggests, requires internal rolls, because in the future there will be a full-level boss who is omnipotent and will eventually replace Xie Ling's position as regent.
But now Xie Ling still looks like an idle prince, so the host has to force him to roll inward early, work hard to improve himself, defeat that person, and become a legend.
"The host's points are linked to Xie Ling's inner circle, so this isn't about benefiting Xie Ling, but saving himself." The mother system said, "Once the host has accumulated enough points, the situation in his previous life will not repeat itself. This is a higher level than directly saving Xie Ling (clinging to his superiors)."
The implication is that this script seems to benefit Xie Ling, but in fact the host is the biggest beneficiary.
The new setting for the second half was announced, which aroused the audience's enthusiasm and attracted a large number of new viewers.
