The Explosive and Badly Ended Stand-in Story (Part 3)
The wish power value has become a single digit.
With the mentality of "parents working hard outside, and suddenly a message of deduction of children's game fees comes from their mobile phone", the system quickly sends it back to the world.
All that greeted him was Jiang Yuanshi's peaceful sleeping face.
I looked at the time and it was 2:50 in the morning.
There is no way to complain about the system, and I feel stuck and stuck, and the whole system is a bit chaotic.
The system turned back to the department and rushed to the department's reception desk.
The system of the book patch department is very personalized and can change its appearance according to the system's preferences, so the systems in the department are very strange.
At this time, in the group, a slime-shaped ball of light was moving at high speed, flashing a strange light.
From red to white, then from white to black to red.
It's a lot like a traffic light.
The reception bell rang.
The reception system appeared. "Hello, how can I help you? Z01, didn't you just leave?"
Z01 said calmly, "Yes, something's up. Could you please transfer me to the main god system?"
Reception Commander: "Eh? What's the problem? Are you changing hosts again?"
He would only go to the Lord God when there was a big problem. Considering that Z01 was a big shot, he had only been received twice in the system's memory, both times requesting a change of host, but he had never been so urgent.
How many systems have passed?
Z01 never speaks ill of the host: "Please transfer the call."
"Okay. By the way, just a reminder, the department has been having bugs lately, which might cause poor signal or something."
No wonder the reminder of deducting the willpower value was delayed.
After the receptionist made some adjustments, he said, "Okay, you can go to the Lord God now, but today's Lord God is Ysl404."
Z01: …
As expected, when things go wrong, nothing goes right.
The Lord of Ysl404, a combination of half-human and half-god, a Lord that Z01 cannot understand.
But the Z01 went anyway.
At the main deity's place, a tall young man was lazily lying on a recliner, spinning slowly and boredly.
"Hey, Z01, I've heard a lot about you. It's our first meeting. What can I do for you?" Y4 said lazily.
Z01 wrote a simple report on the way here, which was just delivered to the other party at this moment.
"You've come at the right time. Let me see what's causing such a headache for our sales manager."
A piece of paper floated down from the sky above the Lord God. The young man stretched out his hand to catch it, and unfolded it like a test paper.
"Well, due to system limitations, an error occurred while selecting the host, rendering the system unable to work with the host. I'm requesting a system replacement for the host," the Lord God muttered. "That's not right. I heard you listed a lot of host issues in your previous two rejected applications. How come this time it's all your fault?"
Z01 answered honestly, "After analysis, the host's general conditions meet the screening criteria, but there are errors in their actual behavior."
"What's the error?"
He obeys the rules, but often behaves strangely without violating them, such as misusing his willpower and showing no reverence for death...
The system gave a brief report.
"Oh, I see. The general direction is correct, but it makes your blood pressure, no, the overall blood pressure rises, right?"
The Lord God quickly summarized, concluding, "You seem like a very strict parent. You're the kind of person who gets anxious when a well-behaved child occasionally strays from the direction they've set."
The system didn't understand, and the Lord God waved his hand: "It's normal that you don't understand. After all, you have a high degree of mission completion, but you don't bring many people with you. I think this is your first human being, right?"
System: "The third one."
"Look, this is only the third one. Humans are very complex. I suggest you try it out and consider it as accumulating abnormal experience."
"But the system's mission is to lead the host to complete the mission, not to experience the process of leading the host."
"What if you meet an unsuitable host in the future? Will you still apply like this?"
"When changing the host, the system will pay a certain amount of points as a penalty. This is an equal exchange."
Based on Z01's points, he could probably change hundreds or even thousands of hosts.
The Lord God did not try to persuade me any further. "Okay, this will be considered an interview. I've approved it. After the review, you need to submit an electronic application again. If you don't submit it, it will be invalid. I'll give you some leeway."
The system believes that this leeway will disappear once the host wakes up.
"A friendly reminder: if you really change it, don't regret it later."
I heard that this Lord God seemed to have the ability to predict the future, but Z01 never regretted it, because according to the regulations, once it was replaced, it would not be bound again.
And the Z01 is incapable of regret.
"Goodbye, and remember to communicate well with your host to avoid making them sad."
The system also feels the need to communicate with the host about the future system change, but based on the host's life experience, this matter will not make the other party sad.
The speed of time flowing in the book patch department is different from that in the novel world.
One system time = 6 days
The system was away for a total of 6.56 system hours.
Jiang Yuanshi saw the system again on a morning more than a month later.
After this period of rest, he could barely pick up a spoon with one hand to eat.
"Long time no see, Mr. System."
"Hello host, there is something I need to communicate with you." The system went straight to the point and informed the other party of the change.
"Due to the insufficient capabilities of the Z01, a more suitable system will be matched for you."
Jiang Yuanshi's hand holding the spoon trembled for a moment, and then he put the porridge into his mouth.
"Okay, I understand. What's the specific time?"
Jiang Yuanshi was emotionally stable and did not have too many questions, which made the system very satisfied.
"I'm sorry, due to a bug in the department, I'm unable to answer you at the moment."
Somehow, according to feedback from other systems, the department has recently been experiencing frequent bugs in the host world.
Jiang Yuanshi brushed back his overly long bangs and said, "We'll talk about it later. For now, should Mr. System guide me?"
System: “Yes.”
Jiang Yuanshi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern."
Jiang Yuanshi's smile was very different from Jiang Yuan's.
The system did not change the host's spiritual body, so the spiritual body he saw was Jiang Yuanshi's original skin.
In order to make the novice feel immersed in the first world, the host will be assigned a character that is as similar to himself as possible.
The first two characters of their names sound similar, they have fair skin and are the same height.
Apart from this, Jiang Yuanshi and Jiang Yuan have almost no similarities.
Jiang Yuan's face is gentle, and he exudes a more gentle and tolerant feeling.
The first impression Jiang Yuanshi gives people is shocking. In terms of appearance, the downward-pointing corners of his eyes do not give the other person a sense of harmlessness at first. When he raises his eyes, there is a coldness at first, and it is not until they communicate that they discover the sincerity in the other person's eyes.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, it was a smile but no emotion could be sensed.
The contrast and contradiction are highlighted again.
The system does not know how to find adjectives to describe humans, so when it receives the host's first smile, its recorded evaluation is still unknown.
There are more and more unknowns in the system these days, which breaks his experience of working in multiple systems.
The system begins to analyze whether it needs a more detailed understanding of humans, but it is unnecessary. After ending this host, it will remove humans from the screening list.
Human instability is still too great in comparison.
"May I ask what the host has been doing these days?"
Jiang Yuanshi put down his spoon and thought for a moment: "Well... mainly resting and surfing the internet. After all, my body can't do much right now."
…………, system, "Have you encountered any problems or bugs during this period?"
"There are no bugs, but I have a question."
"Please go ahead."
Jiang Yuanshi spoke boldly in an innocent tone, "Excuse me, can I borrow money on credit using my vows?"
system:……………………
"No!" The system decisively rejected it, listing the evidence. "Host, you have used your willpower multiple times. Please allocate it properly. Furthermore, owing your willpower will bring you severe consequences. Please do not attempt this."
Among so many sentences, Jiang Yuanshi picked out the key points and said, "Ah, so it's okay?"
"...Host, please consume responsibly."
The system's tone sounded like it was about to explode, so Jiang Yuanshi decided to quit while he was ahead.
"I'm sorry, I didn't use so much money on purpose, but I did use it in legitimate ways. I also had a reason for wanting a loan."
The system reluctantly slowed down and asked, "What is the purpose?"
"Playing on my phone."
“…………”The system is really going to explode now.
Jiang Yuanshi drank his porridge slowly and continued, "I asked someone on my phone to check the whereabouts and situation of Jiang Yuan's family. Unlike in the original novel, they are indeed still alive, but the function card usage time is insufficient, so I can't take on a part-time job. Gu Zhi is indeed helping to pay for the treatment, but once Bai Yueguang comes online, we will most likely lose our source of income. The biggest reason for Jiang Yuan's death was his family, so I wanted to give it a try by borrowing some willpower."
After listening to Jiang Yuanshi's answer, the system calmly analyzed the situation and concluded that, apart from over-consumption, the other party did use the information properly.
"Host, if the loan application is successful, what will the willpower be used for?"
“To make money.”
"Part-time jobs conducted by humans through legal channels cannot generate returns exceeding one million in the short term. Please remain sober and abide by the law."
Jiang Yuanshi didn't refute or continue to explain. He said lightly, "Ah, I was inconsiderate. I'm sorry. Let's talk about this later."
Hopefully there won't be a future.
"By the way, I'm going to make a request to you now to exchange for another 3 points of wish power. I promise not to abuse them from now on." Jiang Yuanshang raised his still movable fingers slightly and made a swearing gesture to the air.
There are only a few points left, and there is no way to use them randomly. It seems that the system has learned to mess up without any guidance.
I simply watched the other party exchange a function card for blocking information, which was valid for 3 days.
The willpower value becomes 1.
In the days that followed, Jiang Yuanshi didn't act up again and rested well. Z01 went from being worried at first to watching from the sidelines, reminding him from time to time that the banquet countdown was about to begin.
A month and a half later, on the day of the banquet.
On the avenue at night, an extended luxury car is driving fast.
The young man in the back seat of the car was wearing a black suit and had a thin figure. He turned his head to look out the window. The neon light lingered on his soft face, revealing a hint of loneliness.
With a quiet posture, he looks like a noble gentleman.
Sure enough, it looks very similar to his white moonlight.
Gu Zhi sat next to Jiang Yuan, and his heart was moved again as he looked at Jiang Yuan facing the window.
I couldn't help but touch the other person's hand on my leg.
The leather gloves felt slightly cool, covering the hands wrapped in gauze.
Even so, the joints are still clearly visible when touched.
The person being held didn't react at all until Gu Zhi called out "Brother" and then he slowly turned around.
The eyes that used to be full of tolerance were now emotionless.
Jiang Yuan said calmly: "What's the matter, Mr. Gu?"
Mr. Gu, these two words were emphasized.
It seemed like the other party was still angry, but it didn't matter. He had never seen such a look before, and it was quite exciting.
"Brother, you look good even when you're angry."
The car drove towards the suburbs and into a gorgeous private estate.
Gu Zhi got out of the car first, blocked the waiter's action, and put his hand on his.
Gu Zhi personally carried the strange young man out of the car and gently placed him on a wheelchair.
Just as he was about to leave, the secretary came up and whispered something in Gu Zhi's ear.
"Brother, go to the waiting room first. I have something to talk to you about." Gu Zhi pulled Jiang Yuan's hand affectionately.
"We'll meet brother at the banquet, or..." Gu Zhi shook his phone and said with a smile, "Contact me by phone."
Jiang Yuan: …………
Jiang Yuan was pushed into an empty reception room by the waiter.
It looks like it belongs to Gu Zhi personally.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the ceiling inlaid with countless gems and lowered his head calmly.
"System, please check the current environmental monitoring status."
Scanning
[Hello host, there are currently 10 pinhole cameras, the layout...]
"Please shield and simulate the environment."
"receive."
For the system, shielding monitoring and simulating illusions is easy, and it can even be said to be a familiar process.
This was the first request Jiang Yuanshi made to him when he woke up in the hospital.
Jiang Yuanshi never asked whether there was surveillance, as if he knew it existed.
Jiang Yuanshi's response to this was simply "It's all based on intuition, and it's better than nothing."
"drop."
[Tip: The information blocking function card has expired]
Jiang Yuanshi was washing his hands in the restroom and said, "It just got stuck."
He had calculated the time period for the card he redeemed earlier.
It just happened to be the day when Bai Yueguang's message was sent back to the country and now when the banquet started.
Gu Zhi didn't get any news and hadn't fallen in love with someone else, so he naturally took Jiang Yuan with him.
Next…
Let’s go and get a full meal first. I can’t run away now. I’m half disabled and my family has to rely on me.
"Next is when Bai Yueguang arrives at the banquet. This plot has no protagonist involved. Please be cautious, host. While you are free to move around, ensure that Gu Zhi and Bai Yueguang meet."
………
ah? ? ?
Jiang Yuanshi was confused.
Why do I have to be their matchmaker?
Just as he was about to complain, he heard a notification tone he had never heard before.
[Warning, warning, it has been detected that the Bai Yueguang Shen Sui container cannot be driven, please prepare system Z01.]
