The bad ending of the stand-in story (Twenty-two)
I never expected that I would dig my own grave.
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless for a moment, then curiously asked the system: "Why is the probability so high? Are those people from the Gu Group planning to send Gu Zhi in?"
Z01: "Originally there was no such possibility. After you raised this question, this probability arose."
Jiang Yuanshi looked up at the system: "There is such a good thing."
Z01:……
Z01 also did not expect that the probability of a possibility being turned into reality once it was proposed was extremely small. Whether it was an accident or a premeditated plan, the system had no way of knowing. The uncontrollable human beings opened his eyes.
Sacrifice yourself, the world generates NPCs, and you say that you are useless and rely on others for your cleverness, but in fact, learning to take advantage of the situation is also a kind of intelligence, coupled with the host's original computer skills.
For the first time, Z01 understood what it meant that God is jealous of talented people.
A 19-year-old human being is considered by others to be a newly-adult, inexperienced college student. However, in the system, this age is still a miniature form of a novice in training.
Jiang Yuanshi turned his head and lay back on the edge of the bed, waiting for his strength to recover, but he was overwhelmed by sleepiness. His soul, which had not slept for nearly twenty hours, began to feel sleepy. When he was about to fall asleep, his body gradually became lighter. Jiang Yuanshi squinted and looked down, and oh, he was in the air.
He turned to look at the instigator. Z01 still had a calm face and looked like a paralyzed humanoid. His movements were as follows:
Pick up and put down.
Jiang Yuanshi was carried back to bed and covered with a quilt. Z01 said, "You must be sleepy. Rest first."
"But it's not over yet." Jiang Yuanshi was in a daze and his speech was a little unclear.
Z01: "I'll help."
?
Jiang Yuanshi looked confused as to what he was going to do.
Z01 gave the answer: "Shen Shi will complain, there is Shen Yining."
It sounds like Shen Shi's reputation has been damaged.
Jiang Yuanshi leaned against the pillow and nodded. His eyes slowly closed. When the system was about to turn around, he suddenly sat up in shock, "Wait!"
Z01's body trembled and he was startled.
He watched Jiang Yuanshi take the computer, turn it on, shake his body back and forth lightly and try his fingerprint three times before unlocking it, his ten fingers flying across the keyboard at a very fast speed, he hit the enter key, squinted at the screen with his face almost touching it, and after confirming something, he closed the computer contentedly, instantly lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt over himself, and said, "Good night, Mr. System."
He fell into a sound sleep.
Z01:.
The other party's behavior was smooth and flowing, but he did not turn off the computer. Z01 picked up the computer and turned on the screen. He saw that the account Jiang Yuanshi logged in had posted a sentence under a series of comments demanding Gu Zhi's sentencing:
[Am I the only one who thinks Gu Zhi is not normal? I saw this guy on the video. His mood is unstable, sometimes crazy and sometimes normal, like a mental patient. Will he not be sentenced in the future because he is really sick? 】
The following replies are all [Refuse to provide ideas! ]
Z01 fell silent after seeing this scene. Really... well done, this host is very ambitious and he didn't forget to make progress even when he was about to fall asleep.
After analyzing the data, Z01 silently sent a message: [If he is not sentenced, he will be sent to a mental hospital and never come out again. ]
Then push this comment to the top.
Z01 Close the webpage, clear the data, make sure the IP number is empty, then turn off the computer and put it back in place.
He searches for the collection of words.
“How to be a wronged child?”
"How to complain emotionally intelligently."
Z01 picked up the phone and made a call.
"Hello, sister, I'm Shen Shi."
…
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yuanshi opened his eyes.
Staring at the ceiling with despair.
That's why he hated hospitals. The familiar ceiling almost made him think he was not dead yet.
Jiang Yuanshi rolled up the quilt and buried his head in it.
Don't want to get up.
When Z01 came back from outside, he only saw the roll rolling back and forth on the bed.
Z01: ………
What happened again?
Z01 looked through the children's guide book and judged: being grouchy when waking up.
"Good afternoon, host." Z01 said.
The next moment, the reel stopped.
The reel adjusted its position inadvertently and then stopped moving, as if it had fallen asleep.
"..." Z01 was silent. This was different from what was written in the book.
Jiang Yuanshi, the person involved in the scroll, was a little embarrassed. Just as he was thinking about how to get up naturally, he heard a gentle but ruthless voice in his ear:
"It's time to get up, little Jiang Yuanshi."
………………?
The kid Jiang Yuanshi chose to play dead. He suspected that his system had a seizure or was infected with a virus.
However, it did not. The system detected slight fluctuations in the host's emotions. Although it was impossible to determine what kind of emotion it was, the entire straight line became wavy, and the five sides formed wavy five sides. However, this was the first time Z01 had seen it, and new results required new tests.
Jiang Yuanshi's silence was met with increasingly intense follow-up visits.
"Zizi", "Xiaoshi", "Jiangjiang", ...
"The setting sun is about to expose our butts~" The emotionless voice dragged out a smooth mechanical transition.
Jiang Yuanshi felt hair all over his body and trembled silently:…………………………
Who will save him?
Facts have proved that only oneself can save oneself. The moment Z01 shouted "baby", a hand suddenly pressed down.
Jiang Yuanshi got up.
He pressed the system's mouth and said in embarrassment, "Stop talking, I'll get up."
It seems to be working, Z01 thought.
Jiang Yuanshi withdrew his hand and wiped it on the quilt, his eyes as if dead, "What do you want to do?"
Z01: "I'm just calling you to wake up."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Who told you to wake people up like this?"
Z01: "Instruction manual."
?
Jiang Yuanshi was just about to ask the other party to read less strange books when he saw the other party take out a "Handbook of Early Childhood Development" from somewhere.
Jiang Yuanshi:)
Jiang Yuanshi took a breath and said, "I'm not a child."
Z01 didn’t care: “Age is not a problem, this book works.”
Jiang Yuanshi gritted his teeth and asked, "How did it work?"
Z01: "You're up."
Jiang Yuanshi held his breath and couldn't get up. He shouldn't have gotten up, but if he didn't get up he would really get goosebumps all over the floor.
So desperate.
When I thought about the fact that the system had only read instruction books for children before, I knew that the system would not be shaken after its effectiveness, so I had to settle for the next best thing, "Can you change the age level next time? You have grown up, and it's time to upgrade."
It doesn't have to be an emotional management manual for adults, a manual for teenagers will do.
Z01 analyzed and replied: "You are right. I will update it next time."
Jiang Yuanshi compromised. He was not picky, as long as it wasn't a young child.
He wiped his face, not knowing what a spectacle his red ears looked like to Z01, who glanced at the 0-3 to 4-6 year old education guide in the database.
It's time to upgrade.
Jiang Yuanshi, unaware of the danger approaching, changed the subject: "Excuse me, how is Gu Zhi doing now?"
Z01 replied: "Currently, the entire network is making a lot of noise. Under pressure from public opinion, Gu's stock price has fallen sharply. The next board meeting is coming soon. Currently, the Shen family is collecting stocks."
Everything went as expected, but Jiang Yuanshi was still worried about unexpected events. He was thinking about when he could do something. Z01 said, "For now, I suggest that the host take a rest and wait for the results. Or you can use the acceleration card to speed up the time."
Jiang Yuanshi was startled: "Why?"
Z01: "Because just now Shen Yining has made a move and is about to acquire Gu Group."
? Jiang Yuanshi: "I remember I just took a nap."
Z01 replied: "Yes, but Shen Yining's acquisition operation had already started before and is now closing in."
"That's what you said, but isn't it too fast?" Jiang Yuanshi recalled the words of the system before going to bed and asked, "What did you say to Shen Yining as Shen Shi?"
Z01 replied: "I'm ashamed. I didn't do anything. I just followed the online tutorial and called Shen Yining 'sister'. The other party got emotional and said something like I would definitely avenge you before hanging up."
Jiang Yuanshi has no brothers or sisters, so she cannot understand the power of the word "sister".
"It's okay. Thanks to you calling me sister, the problem is almost solved now." Jiang Yuanshi frowned, "By the way, what is an acceleration card? Can it be exchanged for willpower? I remember that you disagreed with this the most."
Seeing that Jiang Yuanshi had completely forgotten about the novice gift package, Z01 helplessly explained that the original novice gift package included two acceleration cards, but Jiang Yuanshi had no use for them at the time, and he simply forgot about them after a long time.
Jiang Yuanshi scratched his face: "So will it be affected by the world consciousness if used?"
Z01: "No, the function cards given in the novice gift pack can be used across worlds without interference, and the acceleration card can be increased to three times the speed, accelerating for three months."
The possibility of Jiang Yuan's family waking up midway due to interference from the world consciousness is almost zero. Unless the mission is completed, it is impossible.
"If it speeds up, what will happen to Jiang Yuan's game?"
"The speed-up time system will manage the overhaul bugs for you."
With the help of the system, Jiang Yuanshi thought about it and felt that he was of no use, so he said, "Then speed up and complete it in three months."
"OK."
[Function Card: Speed up x1 used]
Time flew by quickly. Jiang Yuanshi sat on the bed, feeling the vibrations of the ground. The room turned into a time and space tunnel. He was in it, watching the white images flashing around him, as if he was watching a surveillance video.
During the three months, Jiang Yuan's family's vital signs stabilized, and Jiang Zhaozhao successfully passed the critical period through skin grafting surgery.
The online outcry caused the Gu Group to fall apart, leaving only a few small branches in operation, but they were not spared and were gradually divided up. The Shen family successfully acquired the Gu Group. The Gu family, which had fallen to the bottom, was found to have committed crimes such as tax evasion, money laundering, and bombing. The Gu family members regretted their actions and fled with what they had left, but the fish that slipped through the net were no match for the mantis arm.
The person in charge, Gu Zhi, was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia and mania as Jiang Yuanshi said. Gu Zhi originally wanted to use this method to avoid the criminal law, but at that time he was disconnected from the mobile phone Internet and blindly believed in the world consciousness after being hit, so he forgot that he could be sent to a mental hospital and kept under strict supervision.
Gu Zhi was sent to a mental hospital and reunited with his blood relatives.
Jiang Yuan felt a little dazed when he watched the whole process. The acceleration card was really unreal. Everything passed by so lightly. He sat on the bed and it was three months later. It was very unreal.
But when the plaster was removed and his body could move freely, it told him that all this was real.
During this period, while Z01 was updating the game, it also updated Shen Shi's paper, but it only provided a series of data. It was impossible to help write it because it was written by the system, not Shen Shi.
Jiang Yuanshi got up and changed his clothes. Z01 asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Jiang Yuanshi looked up at the ceiling: "Hmm...why don't we fix the hole on the roof of Gu Family Hospital first? I remember it was also a mission."
Z01 picked up the phone and said, "Okay, we'll send someone to fix it right away. You don't need to go there to avoid any problems."
Jiang Yuanshi, who always encounters bugs, thinks it makes sense. Why is the system so skilled in making phone calls?
“Has the hospital also been acquired?”
"Yes, it is now the Shen family branch."
...Okay.
Jiang Yuanshi changed his clothes, washed up, and sat on the bed, staring blankly.
Z01: "Aren't you going out for a walk?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Where to?"
Z01: "Outside the hospital, relaxing is good for your physical and mental health."
Jiang Yuanshi shook his head: "Let Jiang Yuan go after the mission is over, so as to avoid any problems when he goes out."
What the system wanted to say was Jiang Yuanshi's health, but Jiang Yuanshi did have a buggy physique. Now that the mission was about to be completed, it was right for him to stay put. However, the host's dazed look made Z01 feel uncomfortable, as if it was the host rather than the character who was trapped in the world. This shouldn't be right.
But Z01 couldn't find a way, it was just a system with low permissions.
Z01 started chatting with Jiang Yuanshi. Jiang Yuanshi stared at him for a long time and finally sighed. The host smiled and continued with his topic. Jiang Yuanshi knew that the system had its own home. Home was equal to space. The system city would create new products, furniture, food, etc. based on the new world experienced. The system could not eat but could taste food. However, the workaholic Z01 had nothing because he did not go home and only went to work. He would not starve to death and would not eat.
Z01's life was very boring but he didn't expect that in comparison, his own life was richer, because Jiang Yuanshi's daily routine was just going to school and going home, going to school and going home, and all he talked about were other people's lives as seen from his own perspective.
Only then did Z01 realize that something was wrong. The host had no other close contacts with humans except his family, and he had no friends.
Z01 felt that this was not right. People like Jiang Yuanshi would not be hated.
In response to this, Jiang Yuanshi simply said: "My family won't allow me to do so, there's nothing I can do." Then he changed the subject.
The host avoided talking about it, and Z01 did not bring it up again. He just joked to Jiang Yuan that he had not seen his tombstone and asked, "Do all humans have tombstones after they die?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Not really, you need money to do it. It's quite expensive to erect a tombstone in our place. People in the countryside probably bury their dead in the ground. And you need relatives to do it. Otherwise, if a person dies, there will be no one to help deal with it. I guess it depends on the government to revive it? I don't know."
“What happens after the public revitalization?”
Jiang Yuanshi didn't know either: "Maybe it will just blow away all the dust."
"Won't someone help to erect the monument?"
"A kind person? I don't know if I've ever experienced it, maybe? Why are you asking this?"
Z01: “I need answers to questions.”
Jiang Yuanshi said "Oh" but didn't take it seriously. He took a sip of water and said, "How about watching some cartoons?"
Z01: "Yes."
Z01 got up and drew the curtains. The room darkened and a picture lit up on the wall, a pink hair dryer. Jiang Yuanshi said it was a pig. Z01 still couldn't understand why a pig's head looked like a hair dryer.
Jiang Yuanshi leaned against the pillow and watched intently, as if he had never seen it before. Only at this moment did the system feel that the host was still a child.
Rarely naive.
During this time, Jiang Yuanshi asked, "How long will it take to repair the hole?"
Z01: "Three days at most."
"Is that so?" Jiang Yuanshi murmured, "Looks like I have to finish reading it quickly."
Z01: ?
Jiang Yuanshi: "Think about it, what if I don't encounter a similar world in the next world? Then I won't be able to see it? It's really painful to see half of it gone, just like asking a question and only telling half of it, it's annoying."
Figuratively speaking, the system understands it well, "You can apply for the conditions to choose the next world."
Jiang Yuanshi turned to look at the system: "Is this ok?"
"Yes, but you can only choose one condition, the world environment or the character that enters."
Jiang Yuanshi thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's just choose a role. I don't want to be the protagonist anymore. Being an NPC is fine."
Z01: "NPC is indeed less difficult. Are you sure? I will apply for it for you."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't really care: "Yeah, sure, thank you for the trouble."
"Okay." Z01 submitted the application.
In this way, Yitong watched cartoons for three consecutive days, from Hair Dryer to In the Garden Baby to a series of short animations.
In Z01's eyes, many of them are for children to watch, but Jiang Yuanshi enjoys watching them and even stays up late. Finally, he falls asleep reluctantly under the attack of the system's child guide.
Three days later, they received a notice that the rooftop repairs were completed.
Z01: "Are you going to see Gu Zhi?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Why should I go and see? I don't need his regret value. But now he has lost all his power, money and love. I guess he regrets enough. His awakening can be regarded as a correction of his personality. Let Jiang Yuan decide for himself in the future."
[Beep——]
[It is detected that the protagonist Jiang Yuan survived to the end, and the host's mission is completed]
