The bad ending of the stand-in novel (XIV)
The vortex spun counterclockwise and the city began to rewind.
The red eyes closed slowly and unwillingly as Jiang Yuanshi waved his hand.
The soul is cut off and time is turned back, and the system warning is withdrawn together.
Jiang Yuanshi lost the front ten fingertips of both hands. The system looked at him and murmured to the air: "Let's make a deal. Let me participate in this game, or it's okay to have more NPC actors in the TV series, right?"
"Reason? Just based on the ratings of the broadcast, if you reflect on yourself well, wouldn't it be better to continue filming?"
The system circled around Jiang Yuanshi: "Host, who are you talking to?"
Jiang Yuanshi blinked, and a familiar voice rang out in the system space: "Hello Z Xiaoguan, we meet again. Your host is really interesting and helped me a lot. I approve!"
Lord God ysl404.
"What are you doing here?"
The Lord God: "It's rare for a world character to awaken. It only happens once in a million years. I was so curious that I came to take a look. By the way, I talked to your host and recommended some function cards."
"You shouldn't provide the host with a soul sacrifice card. This is against the rules." The system said seriously, but the Lord God said he was innocent. "But it was your host who asked. Rule 20 of the Book Transmigration Bureau: You must answer any questions within your authority. He asked me and I couldn't say no. I also told him the dangers."
According to the authority of the Lord God, everything can be answered.
This is taking advantage of a loophole and cheating.
But the system cannot refute the rules, and the right to use them belongs to the host.
"Host..." The system turned to Jiang Yuanshi, and Jiang Yuanshi turned to the Lord God, "Let's get back to the point. Lord God, did you agree just now?"
The Lord God: "I agree, but whether you can succeed depends on your luck. After all, the world consciousness is not so easy to deal with."
Jiang Yuanshi: "It's better than not trying at all. The worst outcome is death anyway."
The Lord God: "You are really the first one who is so desperate. But if you succeed, you can retire in the future world. After all, the difficulty of the world now can reach 2S by yourself."
Jiang Yuanshi: "...Is this a good thing?"
The Lord God said casually, "Why not? Our highest level is 3S. Once the mission is completed, we can pay off the loan in one go, and there will be a lot left over."
Such an optimistic Lord God, he seems to be there for fun.
"Okay, Z01, help me, maybe the performance can reach a new high." The incorporeal main god left a final sentence, "Keep going, host Jiang, I'm counting on you, bye~"
The main god disappeared, and the world began to rewind at an accelerated speed.
The system saw the host staring at his ten fingers in a daze, "Host, this world is not real, we shouldn't... pay such a huge price. A living being cannot be reborn if its soul is not complete."
Jiang Yuanshi came back to his senses and said something that the system could not analyze, "It doesn't matter. My world is no longer worth reborn. Since this world is fake, just treat it as a game. I will bear the consequences. Don't worry, I have already talked to the Lord God. If I fail, it will not affect your performance."
After a long while, the system finally came up with an answer: "That's not what I meant. System performance can be obtained again, but your soul, the host, cannot be taken back."
"It doesn't matter. I don't care. If it weren't for the binding patch system, I would have died long ago."
The system wanted to speak again, but its body was pulled by a huge force. It didn't know when Jiang Yuan and Gu Zhi disappeared from the rooftop.
Jiang Yuanshi, who was also being pulled, only left a sentence: "We will talk about the details of the conversation with the Lord God when we get back." and disappeared.
Go back one hour.
There are still 48 minutes before Gu Zhi arrives at the hospital.
When Jiang Yuanshi opened his eyes, he was greeted by Shen Shi’s deathly gaze. It was such a familiar plot.
The system didn't even finish its words: "Host, Lord God, process."
"When my consciousness was withdrawing from Jiang Yuan's body, a voice claiming to be that of your Lord God spoke inside my head, expressing a long series of sentiments in one breath." Jiang Yuanshi sat up from the bed very quickly, and asked the system to hand him the computer. He turned on the computer while explaining the details to the system. Jiang Yuanshi's tone was steady, but his speed was much faster than usual.
The main god who came up to introduce himself was very enthusiastic, with a tone of being eager to watch the fun. He revealed to Jiang Yuanshi that the world of the novel was formed due to the powerful wishes of the original fans, but with the age, there will always be a day when it will decline and dissipate. The world in the novel operates according to the amount of wishes.
If the character in the novel does not awaken to self-awareness after the end of the original text, the story will be reset and started over again, and played over and over again to the audience in the other world. However, the probability of consciousness awakening in the novel world is very low, and the conditions for awakening are unclear because there are few conclusions.
But what is certain is that once the protagonist awakens, the possibility of awakening the NPCs around him will greatly increase. After the host's mission is completed, the novel world will completely become a reality of a certain dimension and will no longer be reset. The Book Bureau will put this world into other departments.
The result sounds wonderful, but it is difficult to achieve. The awakening of the character means that the world consciousness will also awaken. The world consciousness is implemented in the original novel and will block all external forces. The book patch system will also be rejected. Jiang Yuanshi thought that this was probably the real purpose of the unreliable god.
Willpower is a force that can make people's wishes come true. It is impossible for Chuanshuju to give up such a world with huge profits, so they need the help of an outsider, an outsider who really has a soul in the world of novels, to tell the other party that as long as they are willing to give a little bit of their soul, they may be able to save a future and have a chance to become the real world.
How can this not be considered a form of moral kidnapping? Using a small part of yourself to save the entire world, placing it at the highest moral point, and then telling you that the choice is yours, and that you will feel bad if you don't save it, and that if you do save it, you will lose the chance of rebirth.
Jiang Yuanshi never considered himself a savior. He chose to sacrifice his soul simply because he didn't like the ending of the story, a tragic life that was manipulated.
Jiang Yuanshi had no special talents. Even though he was hailed as a genius before his death, he was only 19 years old. He could only be clever and take advantage of loopholes. His cleverness was purely scoundrel and fake. If he were made the protagonist of a TV series, people would only say that he was a waste with the label of genius but was actually an empty shell.
The good-for-nothing was shamelessly talking to the Lord God, and others could not be considered to be morally blackmailing him, but he chose to use the bugs of this world to blackmail others. In the end, he sacrificed his soul to go back in time, and the Lord God helped him cover up his ooc behavior in the future. In other words, as long as Jiang Yuanshi did not die in this world, it was absolute that he would deviate from the original and break the plot, and there would be no obstacles.
He is the type of person who goes to the market to buy vegetables and people find him annoying when he haggles for prices, and ends up throwing away a handful of green onions. Unfortunately, Jiang Yuanshi doesn't bargain when buying vegetables. He chooses to go to the supermarket to buy at clearly marked prices.
The system did not respond after listening to Jiang Yuanshi's description. It only asked when the other party tried to type but stopped: "Do you need any help?"
Jiang Yuanshi counted on his fingertips, was stunned when he heard the words, and said "Huh?", seeming confused.
System: "You have made a deal with the Lord God. Since the Lord God has agreed to help, it proves that you have the power to break the plot again. The system will fully cooperate, so is there anything you need me to do now?"
Jiang Yuanshi said "Ah" and acted as if he had suddenly realized something. His tone was relaxed but his expression was apologetic. "I'm sorry for dragging you into this pirate ship."
"What is a pirate ship?"
"It just means that you are unlucky to have run into me. Choosing the wrong person makes things complicated."
"Why?" The system was puzzled. "I'm not unlucky. Not meeting the screening criteria is a mistake made by the department label and the system. It has nothing to do with you, and the mission has not been declared a failure. The chance of a character awakening is very small. You are one of the few successful hosts in the past million years. You are amazing."
The system always gives objective and straightforward analysis results. The system found that the host's eyes were wide open and blinking, like a small animal facing the camera in a nature documentary.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" the system asked for the third time.
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his eyes, stopped typing, handed the computer to the system, and said, "Excuse me, I need to create public opinion about Gu's company immediately, so that Gu Zhi, who is on the way, will go back home, so that I can find a time to fight back."
The system looked at the page on the computer and said, "You want to hack into the Gu Group's system. This is illegal."
Jiang Yuanshi: "There is no other way. To create public opinion, even if it is just empty talk, there must be something practical."
"Understood. Please wait." The system cleared the computer page and put it aside. Shen Shi's body looked empty for a moment before coming back to his senses. "I have entered the main system of the Gu Building. Intelligence has been collected. We have successfully created public opinion for you. The current marketing news has been released. The current popularity is 10th, 11th, and 19th."
The progress was so fast that Jiang Yuanshi was a little confused. He blinked, took out his mobile phone and searched, but it was not financial news, but the web hot search list.
[According to insiders, the Gu Keats Foundation is suspected of engaging in "money laundering"]
[A detailed account of the experiences of the rescue workers of the recently established Gu Foundation]
[New findings from the "accidental" explosion in the chemistry laboratory of xx school]
As Jiang Yuanshi refreshed the list, these three entries rose to the top three within a few minutes.
"..." Jiang Yuanshi didn't know what to say for a moment, and just said, "Thank you, but won't it affect you?"
The system calmly replied: "You're welcome. This is what the system should do. As for the impact, it is easy for any system to access and change data."
"You just said it was illegal to break in."
“But systems are made up of data, not people.”
To put it bluntly, it is like data visiting a relative and taking some things with you.
Jiang Yuanshi was unconsciously flexing his fingertips, digesting the sudden hot search. He did not give the system any specific instructions, but the system completed everything he wanted to do, and completed it perfectly. He was idle for a while. But at this time, the system spoke, "The matter has been completed for you. How can we ensure that Gu Zhi will not come to the hospital?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "It's not a guarantee, I'm just gambling."
"What's the bet?"
Jiang Yuanshi lowered his eyes to look at his palm. Unlike his own palm, Jiang Yuan’s lifeline was actually very long.
"Bet on the other person's heart, the interests are more important than the feelings."
System: "But Gu Zhi is very paranoid about Jiang Yuan."
"Paranoia does not mean love, or maybe Gu Zhi doesn't love anyone." Jiang Yuanshi smiled, looked at the system, and said, "Right, Mr. Shen."
