The bad ending of the stand-in novel (Part 2)
[The fourth mission begins]
As soon as the reset happened, the protagonist whose self-esteem was damaged in the previous life had already grabbed Jiang Yuanshi's neck, but the difference from before was that this time he could still move because of the time limit of the function card.
In this life, he wants to take back everything that belongs to him.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had watched too many short videos, had these words echoing in his mind. When Gu Zhi was concentrating on strangling him and almost lying on top of him, Jiang Yuanshi bent his knees.
Gu Zhi cried out in pain again, and it sounded even more painful than last time, with a feeling of losing a son.
Gu Zhi, who was lying on the ground with his hands covering his penis, looked at the person sitting beside the bed, feeling both pained and annoyed: "You are crazy! Do you know where you kicked? This..."
Jiang Yuanshi supported himself on the bed with both hands, sat on the bed and swung his legs, his eyes clear: "I know, your lower body and the second half of your life."
The other party was obviously irritated by the young man's nonchalant look and uttered something so funny that it would be so childish if written in a novel: "This concerns the future of my Gu family!"
The young man wondered: "Aren't you gay? And you want to have a child? How immoral."
“You…you…”
The other party was about to continue arguing but was interrupted by the pain in his lower body. The young man added fuel to the fire and dripped wind oil on his lower body.
"You are so fragile. Jiang Yuan didn't scream even though he was like this, but you did." The young man thought for a moment and made a sincere suggestion to the protagonist, "I have to say you are quite good at screaming. I think if you really can't do it, you should just be a 0. It just so happens that you can't be used there."
!
Gu Zhi’s eyes widened with anger.
[It has been detected that the protagonist has been severely injured physically and mentally, the fourth mission has failed, and the world line is being retraced...]
Jiang Yuanshi listened to the prompt sound and sighed that in this novel world, the protagonist who truly loves him can even start over.
Sure enough, he only lost his life, but Gu Zhi lost his dignity and happiness!
The young man lay back on the bed, covered with the quilt, and waited obediently for the reset.
[Fifth mission starts]
Jiang Yuanshi opened his eyes.
The system, which had been frozen for a long time, finally spoke a reminder: "Host, please do not violate the rules again. Willpower points cannot be exchanged for cards permanently."
Jiang Yuanshi blinked and said obediently, "Okay, I understand."
As soon as Jiang Yuanshi received the compensation for his willpower, he selected the function card he had been eyeing for a long time in the system display warehouse:
[As good as new (limited to each month)
Quality: Excellent
Duration: 3 minutes
Number of items: 3 (currently 1 remaining)
Type: Disposable
Required Willpower: 3
Introduction: Short-term effect, restores the body in any form to a healthy state, cannot be used across timelines, timing includes retracing time. 】
How should I put it? It’s pretty good. You get what you pay for, and a little bit of willingness is worth a minute.
Jiang Yuanshi asked casually: "Excuse me, did you set the card value?"
System: "Hello host, no, function cards are all set by superiors. The system is only responsible for introducing their functions. What's the problem?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Nothing, the introduction is good, concise and clear."
The system did not understand what the other party meant and just mechanically replied: "This is the system's job."
Before Jiang Yuanshi could continue, the system followed up, "Host, please cooperate with the work, please do not violate the character setting and harm the main characters or others. This world is similar to the host world. According to the law, the host is committing a criminal act."
The system's tone was still mechanical and electronic, but it was also somewhat serious.
It's a yellow card warning.
Jiang Yuanshi did not refute, but nodded in agreement: "Yes, okay, I'm sorry, I won't do it next time."
"Host, please cooperate?"
Jiang Yuanshi used a combination of skills, coupled with a harmless expression, and quickly cut off the system's sound.
The system makes a "Hmm?" sound.
Jiang Yuanshi also made a "hmm?" sound.
Obviously, the two people have different doubts.
Faced with the host's sincere response, the system always felt that something was wrong, so it took out the host emotion detector that had not been used for a long time.
It shows the original ideology of the host and the other party's emotional distribution disk.
The distribution disk is in the shape of a hexagonal radar diagram, and different organisms present different and bizarre images according to their previous hosts.
As for the host named "Jiang Yuanshi", all his emotions are right in the middle, forming a perfect hexagon.
Few creatures can achieve this, especially humans, who are such emotionally complex creatures.
The system has the right to choose the host, so the most important label of Z01's choice is obedience to the rules and relatively stable emotions.
After learning about Jiang Yuanshi's life, the host stood out from the crowd of candidates.
Jiang Yuanshi is a senior student of the Computer Science Department of a top university (already admitted to graduate school). He is a good student in the eyes of his classmates and teachers. He has been ranked first since childhood and has received constant praise.
He does not resist or rebel, is obedient and well-behaved, follows the rules, and lives his life between the library, classroom, and dormitory. Everything goes according to his parents' plan, and not only does it go perfectly, it is even completed ahead of schedule.
When he died, he was just 19 years old and was a genius.
At the same time, he is also the perfect candidate in the system's mind.
Intelligent but obedient creatures that complete tasks the fastest and are found in very small numbers.
The other party's response to the extreme behavior just now was that he was emotional. According to analysis, it can be understood that the number of times the health points of both parties were reset to zero is equal.
But the system still feels it is necessary to remind you again: "Thank you for your cooperation, please do not make the same mistake again, otherwise new punishment will be triggered."
"Excuse me, Mr. System, what is the punishment?"
"Unknown, this is a random option. The current penalty summary is: mild electric shock 56%, strong electric shock 30.11%, lightning strike 9%..."
Is this Leigong and Dianmu?
"Hair loss 3%, baldness 2%..."
Jiang Yuanshi suddenly felt a chill on his head. He could survive being struck by lightning, but his hair would not.
After the system made a ruthless summary, it found that the host seemed to be becoming more honest.
Hoping that the host won't go wrong again, the system decided to do the analysis when it's free.
"Host, please complete the task first. The current main task is to keep the protagonist alive. Killing the protagonist will only affect the development of the plot. Moreover, the characters in the novel are not living people. The host is wasting time by doing this."
Jiang Yuanshi blinked and nodded: "Thanks for the reminder, I understand, and I'm sorry to trouble you." He didn't refute the fact that he didn't kill anyone.
"Then the mission continues. The protagonist's character has been forcibly repaired. The protagonist has now entered the hospital building."
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Yuanshi soothed his sore eyes, "By the way, I want to ask, it is impossible that Gu Zhi's yandere personality was not tested in the previous tests, right?"
"I'm sorry, host. The novel world itself has a bug. After experiments, we concluded that the survival of the character "Jiang Yuan" determines the operation of the world. This is the main problem. As for other characters, they become secondary issues after consideration."
A message suddenly popped up in Jiang Yuanshi’s mind under the main task.
[Branch line (optional): 1. Correct Gu Zhi's character setting in time 2. Treat the family members 3. Repair the hole in the back wall of the hospital...
Friendly reminder: You can choose to do the side quests or not, and completing them all will unlock the hidden ending.]
Regardless of whether it is hidden or not, it is a question whether he is still alive now, but what the hell is that thing that is used to repair the hole in the back wall of the hospital?
System: "Search failed. Please search according to the plot development."
Jiang Yuanshi: ...Okay, let’s leave it to fate.
Footsteps approached and the door opened.
A familiar figure appeared, but unlike before, the other person just glanced at Jiang Yuan a few times with a strange, almost disgusted expression.
Gu Zhi frowned and walked to Jiang Yuan's bedside with his hands in his pockets.
Facing the stand-in on the hospital bed, the other party changed his usual clingy state and started to accuse, "Jiang Yuan, you hit too hard. You know the people you beat up are either rich or noble. Now they are in the hospital because of you. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago."
"Negotiating with those people, how can I save face, not to mention the losses? I introduced you to them because I hope you can get along well."
Jiang Yuan couldn't say a word, he just frowned, as if the person in front of him was a stranger.
Gu Zhi sighed, "I know I lied to you, and it was my fault, but even if you knew you were a substitute, shouldn't you be angry with me?"
Gu Zhi looked up and down at Jiang Yuan's appearance. He looked so miserable and there was no way he could be taken out.
"Forget it. Rest here for a while and don't go anywhere, lest they cause trouble. Don't worry, grandma and sister will help you with treatment. I won't lie to you about this, but you'd better be obedient. I will send someone to pick you up in a while, and then we can go to the banquet together. At that time, our contract will expire and be written off."
Gu Zhi spoke casually, and without getting any reaction from Jiang Yuan, he turned and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to send a few bodyguards to monitor him.
Jiang Yuanshi: …………
Something seems to be wrong again?
Now it seems that he is not "younger", "unsociable" and "clingy" at all, and has transformed into a domineering CEO.
The system thought this was normal. "Humans can disguise themselves, but now that the plan has been exposed, disguise is unnecessary."
"But there are too many changes. Isn't this an overcorrection?"
The system extracted a passage of original text for Jiang Yuanshi. It turned out that during this period of time, Gu Zhi, as the illegitimate son of the Gu family, wanted to use Jiang Yuan to make a deal with that group of friends, but he never expected that Jiang Yuan would be so ruthless.
Logically, Jiang Yuan should have been dealt with, but he was too much like Bai Yueguang and she had some feelings for him. As it happened, old man Gu was ill and the child who was supposed to pass the throne to the main wife died in an accident. Suddenly, the illegitimate son Gu Zhi was the only one left in the family who could take on the important task.
Once Gu Zhi gained power, he simply kept Jiang Yuan and planned to take him to play with him on the day of his succession banquet.
However, according to the original text, when he heard the news that Bai Yueguang, whom he had not seen for many years, had returned to China, he immediately forgot about Jiang Yuan, and then there was that crazy ending.
But Jiang Yuanshi still asked the historical question, "He is so rich, why can't he go abroad to find his white moonlight? Even if he is an illegitimate child, he should have the money to go abroad, right?"
System: "Rich, but Bai Yueguang is not free."
Jiang Yuan:?
The system extracts the original information.
White Moonlight Name: Shen Shi 26
A genius, currently studying in Germany, a doctor of medicine (supervisor resigned, thesis invalidated, graduation delayed), and his current internship at the medical school is about to end.
Jiang Yuanshi: …………
That's okay.
The next goal is to recuperate and wait for the banquet.
"In addition, I suggest that the host follow the plot again and do not make major changes to the plot, otherwise there is a chance that the world operation will fail."
Jiang Yuanshi agreed obediently, "By the way, Mr. System, I want to ask, can you access the Internet here?"
system:?
Jiang Yuanshi explained: "I can't move now, and I can't use my phone. I remember Jiang Yuan is still a student and has to ask for leave from school."
“…………” He is indeed a good student. The system replied, “I’m sorry, host. I forgot to remind you that this character had dropped out of school to work to pay for medical expenses and has not returned to school yet.”
"What about his job?"
"Gu Zhi resigned on the grounds of companionship."
“…………”
Probably because Jiang Yuanshi was unable to move around easily, Gu Zhi only threatened him with his family. After warning him, he did not take the things away, but just cleared out some things and disconnected the Internet.
The internet fee is probably also paid by the other party...
Jiang Yuanshi's regular hexagonal emotional graph turned into a unicorn at this moment, and it felt like it could kill someone in the next second.
The system was puzzled as to why the other party's emotions fluctuated so much. Jiang Yuanshi said, "I gave up my career for love. I am obsessed with love."
?
The system doesn’t understand but records it.
Every host brought by the system will have a manual record.
[Host Observation Manual - Jiang Yuanshi]
Name: Jiang Yuanshi
Species: Human
Appearance: Slender, white, human-like
Personality: obedient, quick to reflect, rules-abiding (questionable)
Likes: Unknown
Add new entry*
Dislikes: Love-brained (strong career ambition)]
Perhaps Jiang Yuanshi's career ambition did not allow him to be unemployed, so at the other party's request, the system connected the host's mobile phone to the Internet, but he had to wait until his body recovered before he could use it.
Then he took time out in the system to report back to the department. During this period, the host did not violate any regulations until he was about to return to the transmission room, when prompts popped up one after another.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully using "Intact"]
[Congratulations to the host for the successful redemption]
[Partial repair has been used x1]
[Partial repair has been used x2]
…………
At this moment, the system suddenly understood a famous saying of mankind: If a child is quiet, he must be doing something strange.
