The bad ending of the stand-in novel (XI)
Jiang Yuanshi eventually fell asleep amidst the system's persistent storytelling.
Sleeping very soundly.
…
Jiang Yuanshi woke up in fright.
He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. The pounding sound of his heartbeat reflected the excitement of the dream, but he could not remember the specific content of the dream at all. He only remembered that in the first perspective, a kind-faced grandmother and a thin girl were slowly walking towards him. At the moment they were about to make contact, his eyes blurred and his consciousness became blurred. When he came to his senses, they had become strangers.
He looked at Jiang Yuan's body hugging his family and crying.
"Thanks……"
Jiang Yuan looked up at him with a smile on his face.
The shadows of his family members turned into black mist, which stretched and entangled Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan's eyeballs sunken into black whirlpools, shedding tears of blood, and he mechanically repeated "Thank you..."
The black mist devoured Jiang Yuan, making chewing sounds.
Then, light came and dispelled the darkness.
The black fog burned and turned into blood, and the light enveloped Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuanshi's eyes were stung, and in his blurry vision, he saw a festering human figure kneeling in a pool of blood, slowly saying, "Thank you, thank you..."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't remember any other scenes, and didn't even remember how he was frightened awake.
Jiang Yuanshi sat up, pinched his eyebrows, rubbed his eye sockets, and only heard a buzzing sound in his ears.
"morning--"
"I've told you so many times that you should learn to be grateful. How can you not even say thank you when you are so precious?"
"You should say thank you to those who really help you, and know what to say to whom in what occasion."
…
"Thank you, thank you. What else can you say besides thank you?"
Serious male and female voices mixed together. Jiang Yuanshi pressed his ears hard, trying to suppress the sound.
Suddenly his movements were stopped, and a deep mechanical male voice came from his ear, saying without emotion: "Good morning host, your posture is wrong, excessive rubbing of the ears can easily cause human soft tissue injuries."
Jiang Yuanshi turned his head and saw Shen Shi's face looking at him expressionlessly. He didn't open his mouth, but there was a voice chattering in his mind.
"I am searching for ear rubbing tutorials for you - rubbing the ears in this way is equivalent to doing health exercises for the whole body. I am searching again - health care should start from the baby, ear rubbing exercises for young children..."
“…”
Jiang Yuanshi was suddenly brought back to reality.
"No thanks, I just felt a little uncomfortable in my ears."
The system stops playing the tutorial and says, "Your ears are uncomfortable and need maintenance. We recommend that you follow the tutorial."
What to do? Is it ear position exercises? Children's exercises are done by their family members.
"No, and I don't know much about the degree." Jiang Yuanshi declined politely.
"Okay, got it." The system understood, "The video is being transferred to your consciousness."
?
Oh no, I have a picture in my mind.
Jiang Yuanshi was watching the video in a strange way.
So humans and machines really cannot communicate with each other.
Jiang Yuanshi was helpless. Facing the sincere voice of the system, he followed the video in his mind and did a set of ear-rubbing exercises, as well as a set of Ba Duan Jin (an upper-body version).
After one operation was completed, Jiang Yuanshi leaned on the sink with one hand and brushed his teeth with a look of despair.
The young man in the mirror had soft facial features, bangs lightly sweeping across his eyebrows, deep double eyelids, slightly drooping eyes, big, round, and clean eyes, which looked a little cold when he wasn't smiling, but more of a gentle and profound feeling.
His youthful experiences did not erase Jiang Yuan’s hope.
Jiang Yuanshi recalled Jiang Yuan in his dream, his lifeless eyes after the light appeared, and he was grateful for the light like a puppet.
No matter how I think about it, I feel uncomfortable.
The young man's eyes in the mirror lost their gentleness and turned into a cold look.
"It is not good for the host's teeth to brush their teeth for a long time."
The young man's eyes suddenly became clear, he quickly spat out the toothpaste, rinsed his mouth, and began to roll up his sleeves to wash his face.
After completing the operation, he quickly turned around and left, without giving the system any chance to play the teeth brushing exercise.
Jiang Yuanshi walked into another ward and asked, "Mr. System, is there any change in the survival rate and sobriety rate of Jiang Yuan's family members?"
System Z01 replied: "Sorry, it is still not possible to query, but the system predicts that the probability will increase to 88.8% after using the function card."
Jiang Yuanshi: “So much?” It soared from single digits to a considerable number.
System: "The effects of peerless-level function cards cannot be affected by the world or the plot, except for human factors."
Jiang Yuanshi sat down between the two beds. "That means that except for human factors, the probability of Jiang Yuan's family dying is basically zero. Is that right?"
System: "Yes, but it does not include awakening. The rescue card can only guarantee that you are out of danger."
Jiang Yuanshi: "That's enough. Now that I'm awake, I don't know what to do."
System: "Excuse me, host, what do you mean?"
Jiang Yuanshi shrugged: "How should I put it... Jiang Yuan's family is pretty close, but I'm actually not good at getting along with people, especially with people who are so close to me."
The system could not understand, and Jiang Yuanshi's communication with Gu Zhi, the system and others was almost unimpeded.
Jiang Yuanshi and Gu Zhi were not very familiar with each other, so it was quite easy to play the role of Jiang Yuan in the other's eyes, mainly using a novel routine template. As for the system, "You are not a human."
System: ...It makes sense, but it's a little weird.
"Do you need me to search for a template for you to get along with your family?" the system asked stubbornly.
Jiang Yuanshi waved his hand, "No need, I can't act even if I have one, after all, I'm not an actor, let's just take it one step at a time."
"Okay." The system received the answer without asking any more questions, but continued to advance the process. "May I ask what the host is going to do next?"
Jiang Yuanshi thought for a moment, "Let's wait for Gu Zhi to take office while I'm treating him. When he and Bai Yueguang are well, there will be no need for Jiang Yuan to worry about. At that time, I won't have to rely on the protection of Shen Shi's shell. I can transfer him to another hospital for treatment. Then, it won't be my business to go back to school, work, and live with my family."
Jiang Yuanshi planned Jiang Yuan's schedule very comprehensively, as if Jiang Yuan would start his own life after he left.
For some reason, the system no longer reminded me that "this world is not real."
The biggest requirement of the Book Bureau for the novel world is to run normally until completion, so that it can be provided to readers in other dimensions for reading. The Book Bureau absorbs the readers' wishes and transforms them into energy for running the Book Bureau, system wages, and recruitment and wish-making opportunities for the host.
A normal novel world will be replayed over and over again like a TV series. The story after the ending consumes too many resources to run the unconscious NPCs, so no one knows what the world will be like after the original work is finished.
Jiang Yuanshi is just one of the hosts of this world. After he really completes the task, everything will start again and wait for the next host to appear. While making up for the plot, he will start a new direction and gain new power of will.
After all, the energy consumed by the book patch department to recruit hosts is very little. Death and rebirth, the wishes made by the host, are nothing more than mayflies and dust to the higher dimensions.
The system did not inform the host of this. This is an illegal statement. According to the superiors, this statement will dampen the host's enthusiasm and affect efficiency.
When Z01 looked at Jiang Yuan, he could not judge this host.
"By the way, Mr. System, I'll handle the game matters myself."
The system was called back, "The game has been completed last night and will be released at noon today. You don't need to worry about it. Please rest and recuperate."
Jiang Yuanshi's eyes lit up, "So fast? That's amazing, you are worthy of it."
Even the system couldn't resist the compliment, "Thank you, host. The system covers multi-world data and functions. Making games is just a program."
"Higher dimension? It seems that it will be very convenient for creatures to work in the future, but I will be responsible for the bugs and modification suggestions for the subsequent game operation. After all, it is your turn to come on stage."
"What?"
Jiang Yuanshi blinked and said innocently: "I will fix the bugs in the game, and you will have to fix the bugs in the novel world. Gu Zhi should come to find Shen Shi to fall in love after taking office tomorrow."
Then I remembered that I was acting as Bai Yueguang's system: ...
This is harder than bringing a host.
The second day.
The press conference for Gu Zhi to take over as CEO was held smoothly.
During the press conference, Gu Zhi explained the rumors about his illegitimate child, saying that he was abducted and left the Gu family when he was young, and was found again after staying in an orphanage for a while. However, because he was a child who returned midway, some people did not recognize him, and naturally the rumors of his illegitimate child arose.
There were hints in his words that he was ostracized by his brothers and sisters and had to survive cautiously.
Gu Zhi became a hot topic because of his handsome face.
Many people watch the show just to eat spectacles, and many people just look at the appearance.
A beautiful face can always deceive people, even a small part. People who like Gu Zhilian interpreted this statement in depth and said that it is not easy to be a rich family and they feel sorry for his brother.
Those who don’t know would think that Gu Zhi is about to make his debut.
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at the trending searches and had a feeling that Gu Zhi would appear on a dating variety show with Bai Yueguang in the future, and then have a wave of marketing.
The author can even write a new romance novel for them, relying on the sweet love to attract a wave of sugar-candy lovers, and then whitewash a small group of people.
Jiang Yuanshi even thought of a way to whitewash the author, but it seems that the author did not do so. He just took the money and ran away at the speed of light.
Time can wash away many things, and both good and bad things may become faded.
Fortunately, the author didn't live to see the day of his redemption and was directly washed away without causing any further annoyance, Jiang Yuanshi thought.
[Warning: The protagonist is about to arrive. Please prepare the host Jiang Yuanshi and system Z01]
Jiang Yuanshi was stunned: "Mr. System, this is not sent by you."
System: "It is the main system, which usually gives prompts in important situations."
Jiang Yuanshi saved the file and closed the computer, frowning and asking, "So Gu Zhi is going to have another bug next time?"
Horrible remarks. The system replied, "...Gu Zhi and Shen Shi's plot is now the main plot."
Jiang Yuanshi said "Oh", and then responded quickly: "So there is really nothing for me to do down there, right?"
System: “Yes.”
Jiang Yuanshi patted the system's arm and said, "Good luck to you, system."
system:"……"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Don't worry, just tell me about it. I can still provide action guidance."
The system inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, "Thanks for your help."
After the system finished speaking, it controlled Shen Shi's shell to leave, and his back looked extremely heavy.
"You'd better apply for a salary increase, Mr. System." Jiang Yuanshi said silently.
The system nodded, its emotionless tone inexplicably vicissitudes: "Okay."
Jiang Yuanshi: ...
Forcing machines to behave like humans is also abstract. I hope there will be no bugs.
Gu Zhi arrived downstairs at Shen's Hospital, holding his phone in one hand and watching Shen Shi leave the ward with an obscure expression.
Jiang Yuan saw Chen Shi off in a wheelchair. Before leaving, he patted Chen Shi's arm and waved to him. Shen Shi bent down and leaned forward skillfully. Jiang Yuan reached out and picked up the crumbs at the end of Shen Shi's hair, and straightened his loose hair tie.
Jiang Yuanshi tied the man up again and said, "Chen Shi has a rubber band, why do you have to tie your hair with a rope?"
System version of Shen Shi: "Cultivate human limbs."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't expect the reason to be so pure, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, keep going."
The system version of Shen Shi raised a few pixel points of smile, "Okay, goodbye."
It was still quite scary to have a fake smile on one's face. Jiang Yuanshi did not discourage the system's enthusiasm for learning, but just waved goodbye.
Gu Zhi watched the surveillance video as Jiang Yuan showed a gentle and doting smile to Shen Shi. Shen Shi smiled back embarrassedly, and the two said goodbye like a couple, and they were both out of breath.
Is Shen Shi's type the type that he likes Jiang Yuan?
Gu Zhi was so angry that he had a headache.
When did Jiang Yuan get close to Shen Shi? Jiang Yuan never smiled like this to others, Jiang Yuan only did this to him, only in front of him.
When did they get together?
Did Jiang Yuan really think he was free? They haven’t broken up yet!!!
