The bad ending of the stand-in novel (Part 9)
Z01 feels that his host has been too quiet recently.
Not only did he no longer use the willpower and remaining function cards at will, he even stopped paying attention to Gu Zhi.
After learning that Jiang Yuan's family had little hope of recovery, Jiang Yuanshi borrowed Shen Shi's mobile phone to order a laptop and a projector that night for payment.
At first I thought it was something important, but then I saw Jiang Yuanshi sitting on the bed, typing on the computer with his fingers flying. On the wall opposite the bed was a movie that the system didn't recognize.
It is hard for the system not to suspect whether the host will do something out of line in the future.
However, four or five days passed, and Jiang Yuanshi remained in this state except for sleeping.
During the day, the system had to go to the hospital in a heavy shell to collect paper materials and observe patients. When he came home from get off work at night and saw this scene, he felt very breathless.
Systematic online search - What should I do if I always stay in bed and work on the computer instead of going out?
The titles that came up were either related to depression or internet addiction.
Finally, I got a reliable answer: "宅宅": I don't like going out, I just like staying at home.
Although the hospital is not his home, it is currently Jiang Yuanshi’s only residence.
The system decided to persuade the host to take a rest, go out for a walk more often, and not stare at the computer all day, but was ruthlessly rejected by the host, who said that he was really fine and there was no need to worry.
The system is very worried. It is worried that the host will die suddenly.
I was very frustrated with the system, so I studied psychology, education, and early childhood communication overnight.
I hope it can persuade the hearts of rebellious teenagers.
Rebellious teenager. Jiang Yuanshi had been typing away on the keyboard in bed for several days, and his eyes were blurry even when he looked at the screen.
The medical expenses needed by Jiang Yuan's family are like a bottomless pit. This is a forcibly revised character. Due to conflicts with the original work, the conditions of the two are like a roller coaster, sometimes high and sometimes low. Even if they hold on to the end, they are not sure whether they can restart their lives. The only thing Jiang Yuanshi can do is to earn some medical expenses by relying on his own skills.
The matter of Jiang Yuan's family has not been resolved quietly, and the only plot related to Jiang Yuan is death. But since the mission is to stay alive, it means that there is nothing to do with Jiang Yuan.
Since coming to this world, Jiang Yuanshi has read the original novel no less than 10 times, paying attention to the details, and found a job that does not violate his character and can make money.
According to the original novel, Jiang Yuan is not only a computer science major, but also an independent game developer. Jiang Yuanshi found Jiang Yuan's account based on this detail.
As expected, the other party had successfully sold the games he made on a certain game platform. They were all pixel-style RPG games. The prices were not high and the sales were decent. However, all the money was transferred to Gu Zhi's card. Jiang Yuanshi was so upset when he saw this that he changed the card number back to Jiang Yuan's.
One of Jiang Yuan's games was yet to be released, but only a demo had been released. Quite a lot of people had made reservations for it. However, it was shelved and postponed after a family incident.
The game produced by Jiang Yuan has a complete plot, but the degree of exploration is not high, and it basically revolves around the main storyline.
However, this also gave Jiang Yuanshi inspiration. He was very good at exploration. After all, before his death, he loved to secretly make games. It was a pity that he died before completing many games.
Jiang Yuanshi did what he said, but this body's hand was broken and seemed to have sequelae, making it difficult for him to type on the keyboard.
He turned his right wrist, and the unspeakable pain made him sober up a lot.
What time is it now?
Jiang Yuanshi has a bad habit. Once he starts working, he likes to finish it as quickly as possible, regardless of day or night, and naturally he loses track of time.
"It is now 19:00 Beijing time"
The sudden voice startled Jiang Yuanshi, and he turned to meet an expressionless yet resentful face.
“…………”
The system said coldly: "Host, you have been staring at the computer for three consecutive days. Please pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
Jiang Yuanshi smiled bitterly and quickly slid down to his knees, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, Mr. System."
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuanshi’s credit points in the system were 0. The system quietly counted the number of times Jiang Yuanshi rejected him. “In the past three days, this sentence appeared four times. In addition—
'I'm really fine' 3 times,
'I'll come to eat right away' 6 times,
'Sorry, this is a critical moment' 3 times,
'Hmmmm ok '10 times'."
It seemed that he was really angry. Jiang Yuanshi took a breath and said, "…………I really know I was wrong."
The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time. The system spoke: "It is detected that the host's words are more than 50% sincere, which is credible."
Jiang Yuanshi: Is he that untrustworthy?
The system gave him a look with a calm shell, letting him understand for himself. Jiang Yuanshi couldn't understand the expressionless emotion at all. "I really know I was wrong. Now listen to my explanation."
System: "Quibbling."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Explain, it was a slip of the tongue."
System: "The unconscious words of human beings best reflect the inner heart."
I give up.
Jiang Yuanshi did not argue any more. He turned the computer towards the other party and informed the system of everything he had done in the past few days, thus restoring his precarious trust.
The system analysis concluded that this incident did not affect the plot, and the host was indeed working hard for the mission.
System: "The host can add exploration to the original game without having to create a new game."
Jiang Yuanshi: "It's not called a new one, I just helped to improve it. The demo brought a wave of publicity. I don't know all the characters in the old game, and it's not a big hit. For me, it's faster to just make a relatively new one. But you're right, I'll see if I can update the exploration level of the other game when I have time."
System: "But host, this game plot is a semi-finished product, the game platform is a buyout system, and it was created by you. Once the mission is successful, Jiang Yuan may not be able to complete the game."
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his eyes and said, "No, this game's script and main characters were all written by Jiang Yuan. Even the character images and the early novice village were ready. I just need to help expand and complete them. And this can't be considered a semi-finished product. At most, it's an open ending. I can just add a DCL when the time comes."
The system pointed out a detail that Jiang Yuanshi had not mentioned, "But not every developer can create an open dialogue NPC on their own."
"It's a matter of time. I'm just faster. Besides, free conversation depends on AI, not me. Jiang Yuan can do it with his own talents, as long as he stays away from Gu Zhi and the original work."
The system doesn't understand why the host always has such serious malice towards Gu Zhi. After all, Gu Zhi provided help to Jiang Yuan when he was in the most difficult time, although he was a bit immoral later.
Jiang Yuanshi commented sharply, "Gu Zhi got a qualified substitute who could be imprisoned, Jiang Yuan got money and medical treatment, and then halfway through the treatment, Gu Zhi ran off with someone else, without even curing the patient, and just left the patient alone. It's good enough that he didn't have to pay any compensation."
"Oh, right..." When talking about Qian Jiangyuan, he remembered, "Jiang Yuan should have paid off the money. Mr. System, can you find the payment slip for Jiang Yuan's family at Gu's?"
The system connected to the database and began searching along the network cable of Gu’s Hospital. The data was projected onto the screen on the wall.
He stayed in Gu's Hospital for a total of 33 days, with a total expense of 2.18 million yuan, most of which came from ICU fees. However, Jiang Zhaozhao was admitted to the ICU 18 times due to bacterial infection. Even a god could not stand such ordeal.
This frequency is almost once every two days. If it is caused by Jiang Zhaozhao's survival and the conflict in the original work, then what is the peace in the Shen Family Hospital these days? Is it a good life?
Jiang Yuanshi took out Jiang Yuan's mobile phone and found the photos in the other party's hidden album, which were all photos of family members sent by Gu Zhi.
Most of them were about Grandma Jiang who was unconscious and on a ventilator, Jiang Zhaozhao with horrific burns and wounds, and his deformed left foot, the only part with intact skin.
Judging from the time, Jiang Zhaozhao's wound went from slightly healing to the infection area expanding. The scarlet photo made Jiang Yuan, who was already a stranger, nervous and his mental state was worrying.
Giving hope and then destroying it over and over again, Jiang Yuan was left hanging with a breath. Finally, after learning the truth about his death, he jumped off the building and died without hesitation.
Jiang Yuanshi couldn't believe that Gu Zhi didn't do it on purpose, so he asked the system if he could retrieve the surveillance footage of Gu's Hospital.
The system could not understand this behavior. "If the host needs it, I can provide you with nearly two months of monitoring, but the main cause of Jiang Yuan's death was the loss of his family. Gu Zhi was only one of the links. In the original novel, Jiang Yuan's death was already determined."
Jiang Yuanshi pounded his back, and didn't hesitate to speak after using his brain too much, "So what? You said it was a link, so in my eyes he is an accomplice."
System: "Your comments are too subjective."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Yes, the judgment of things is inherently personal. Some people hate good people, and some people like bad people. It depends purely on the individual. Even something as popular as the RMB has people who hate it."
The system thinks the host is making a sophistry. Jiang Yuanshi: "We'll know if it's a sophistry after watching the surveillance video later."
As Jiang Yuanshi was speaking, he was about to look at the computer again, but was stopped in time by the system.
"You have worked for more than 13 hours today. Please take a rest." Jiang Yuanshi was about to speak when the system said, "Your hands have not yet fully recovered. You have been overused. The probability of having sequelae will increase by 31.33%."
The system was just being tested, but Jiang Yuanshi didn't expect that he would really stop working after hearing that. He turned off the computer after saving the program.
The system continued to work hard. “Excessive use of the eyes can lead to a rapid decline in vision.” After saying this, an eye care video lit up on the projector.
"..." Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and did as he was told. After he finished scraping his eye sockets, he looked at the system. Is that okay?
"Long-term sitting can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain, and long-term stay in a dark room can easily lead to depression."
Jiang Yuanshi retorted: "Mr. System, my legs are disabled and I can only sit in a wheelchair. It's very troublesome to go out."
System version Shen Shi handed over the cane, Jiang Yuanshi gritted his teeth and took it, "Thank you."
In this way, the system pushed the wheelchair slowly behind Jiang Yuanshi who was on crutches, and the two of them walked around the hospital.
Today's host is very obedient and the system is very satisfied. According to pedagogy, rewards should be given at this time.
Jiang Yuanshi panted and slumped in the wheelchair, unwilling to move a step, determined to push the system, the culprit, back. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt his head sink, "System...what are you doing?"
"Thank you for the compliment." The system touched Jiang Yuanshi's head seriously, and with its other hand, it took out a few pieces of candy from its pocket and put them in the stunned Jiang Yuanshi's hand.
Jiang Yuanshi held the candy in his palm and said, "You seem to be treating me like a child." He pouted and put the candy in his pocket.
The system expressed its approval and great appreciation for early childhood education.
“I’m an adult.”
"Adults and young children are all human beings."
"Doesn't your system have age?"
“The system has seniority.”
It starts working right from the factory.
Jiang Yuanshi: “…”
Forget it, after all, he is not a human being, I can understand.
The atmosphere of the human-machine error was relatively peaceful and lasted until the ward door, where it was interrupted by the sudden arrival of medical staff.
"Bed 03's Jiang Zhaozhao's vital signs are abnormal, and there is a possibility of shock."
