The Explosive and Badly Ended Stand-in Story (Part 9)
Z01 feels that his host has been too quiet recently.
Not only did he no longer use the willpower and remaining function cards at will, he even stopped paying attention to Gu Zhi.
After learning that Jiang Yuan's family had little hope of recovery, Jiang Yuanshi borrowed Shen Shi's mobile phone to place an order for a laptop and a projector that night, which were to be paid for that night.
At first I thought it was something important, but then I saw Jiang Yuanshi sitting on the bed, typing on the computer with his fingers flying. On the wall opposite the bed was a movie that the system didn't recognize.
It is difficult for the system not to suspect that the host will do something out of line in the future.
However, four or five days passed, and Jiang Yuanshi remained in this state except for sleeping.
During the day, the system had to go to the hospital in a heavy shell to collect paper materials and observe patients. When he came home from get off work at night and saw this scene, he felt breathless.
Systematic online search - What should I do if I always stay in bed and work on the computer instead of going out?
The titles that came up were either related to depression or internet addiction.
Finally, I got a reliable answer, "宅" (homebody): I don't like going out, I just like staying at home.
Although the hospital is not his home, it is currently Jiang Yuanshi’s only residence.
The system decided to persuade the host to take a rest, go out for a walk more often, and not stare at the computer all day, but the host ruthlessly refused, saying that he was really fine and there was no need to worry.
The system is very worried. It is worried that the host will die suddenly.
I was very frustrated with the system, so I studied psychology, education, and early childhood communication all night long.
I hope it can persuade the hearts of rebellious teenagers.
A rebellious teenager. Jiang Yuanshi had been typing away on his keyboard in bed for days, his eyes blurring even when looking at the screen.
The medical expenses needed by Jiang Yuan's family are like a bottomless pit. This is a forced modification of the character. Due to the conflict with the original work, the condition of the two people is like a roller coaster, sometimes high and sometimes low. Even if they hold on to the end, they are not sure whether they can restart their lives. The only thing Jiang Yuanshi can do is to rely on his own skills to earn some medical expenses.
The matter of Jiang Yuan's family has not been unfolded quietly, and the only plot related to Jiang Yuan is death. But since the mission is to stay alive, it is equivalent to having nothing to do with Jiang Yuan.
Since coming to this world, Jiang Yuanshi has read the original novel no less than 10 times, paying attention to the details, and found a job that does not violate his character and can make money.
According to the original novel, Jiang Yuan is not only a computer major, but also an independent game developer. Jiang Yuanshi found Jiang Yuan's account based on this detail.
As expected, the other party had successfully sold the games they made on a certain game platform. They were all pixel-style RPG games. The prices were not high and the sales were decent. However, the money they earned was all transferred to Gu Zhi's card. Jiang Yuanshi was so upset when he saw this that he changed the card number back to Jiang Yuan's.
Jiang Yuan had another game waiting to be released, but only a demo had been released. Many people had made reservations, but it was shelved and postponed after a family incident.
The game produced by Jiang Yuan has a complete plot, but the exploration level is not high, and it basically revolves around the main storyline.
However, this also gave Jiang Yuanshi inspiration. He was very good at exploration. After all, before his death, he loved to secretly make games. It was a pity that he died without finishing many games.
Jiang Yuanshi did what he said, but this body's hand was broken and seemed to have some sequelae, making it difficult for him to type on the keyboard.
He turned his right wrist, and the unspeakable pain made him sober up a lot.
What time is it now?
Jiang Yuanshi has a problem. When he starts working, he likes to finish it as quickly as possible, regardless of day or night, and naturally he can't keep track of time.
“It is 19:00 Beijing time now.”
The sudden voice startled Jiang Yuanshi, and he turned around to meet an expressionless yet resentful face.
“…………”
The system said coldly: "Host, you have been staring at the computer for three consecutive days. Please pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
Jiang Yuanshi smiled bitterly and quickly slid down to his knees. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, Mr. System."
Unfortunately, Jiang Yuanshi's credit points in the system were 0. The system quietly counted the number of times Jiang Yuanshi rejected him, "In the past three days, this sentence appeared four times. In addition—"
'I'm really fine' 3 times,
'I'll come to eat soon' 6 times,
'Sorry, it's a critical moment' 3 times,
'Hmmmm ok 10 times.'
It seemed like he was really angry. Jiang Yuanshi took a breath and said, "...I really know I was wrong."
The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long moment. The system spoke, "It has been detected that the host's words are more than 50% sincere, and are credible."
Jiang Yuanshi: Is he really that untrustworthy?
The system gave him a look in a calm and composed manner, letting him understand for himself. Jiang Yuanshi couldn't understand the expressionless emotion at all. "I really, really know I was wrong. Now listen to my explanation."
System: "Quibbling."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Explain, it was a slip of the tongue."
System: "The unconscious words of human beings can best reflect the inner heart."
I give up.
Jiang Yuanshi stopped arguing. He turned the computer towards the other party and told the system everything he had done in the past few days, thus restoring his precarious trust.
System analysis concluded that this incident did not affect the plot, and the host was indeed working hard for the mission.
System: "Hosts can add exploration to their existing games without having to create a new one."
Jiang Yuanshi: "It's not really a new one, I just helped improve it. The demo brought a lot of publicity. I don't know all the characters in the old game myself, and it wasn't a big hit. For me, it's faster to just do a relatively new one. But you're right, when I have time I'll see if I can update the exploration level of the other game as well."
System: "But host, this game's plot is unfinished, the game platform is a buyout system, and it was created by you. Once the mission is successful, Jiang Yuan may not be able to complete the game."
Jiang Yuanshi rubbed his eyes. "No, the script and main characters of this game were all written by Jiang Yuan. Even the character images and the early novice village were ready. I can just help expand and complete them. And this can't be considered a semi-finished product. At most, it has an open ending. I can just add a DCL when the time comes."
The system pointed out a detail Jiang Yuanshi hadn't mentioned, "But not every developer can create an open dialogue NPC on their own."
"It's a matter of time. I'm just faster. Besides, free conversation relies on AI, not me. Jiang Yuan can do it with his own talents, as long as he stays away from Gu Zhi and the original work."
The system doesn't understand why the host always has such serious malice towards Gu Zhi. After all, Gu Zhi provided help to Jiang Yuan when he was in the most difficult time, although he was a bit immoral later.
Jiang Yuanshi commented sharply, "Gu Zhi got a qualified substitute who could still be imprisoned. Jiang Yuan received money and medical treatment, and then halfway through the treatment, Gu Zhi ran off with someone else. He didn't even cure the patient and acted like a hands-off boss. It's a good thing he didn't have to pay anything out of pocket."
"Oh right..." Speaking of Qian Jiangyuan, he remembered, "Jiang Yuan should have paid back the money. Mr. System, can you find the payment slip for Jiang Yuan's family at Gu's?"
The system connected to the database and began searching along the network cable of Gu's Hospital, projecting the data onto the wall screen.
Jiang Zhaozhao stayed in Gu's Hospital for 33 days, with a total bill of 2.18 million yuan, most of which came from ICU fees. However, Jiang Zhaozhao was admitted to the ICU 18 times due to bacterial infection. Even a god could not stand such a torment.
This frequency is almost once every two days. If Jiang Zhaozhao's survival is the cause of the conflict with the original novel, then what is the meaning of the peaceful days in Shen's Hospital these days? Is she lucky?
Jiang Yuanshi took out Jiang Yuan's cell phone and found the photos in the other party's hidden album, which were all photos of family members sent by Gu Zhi.
Most of them were about Grandma Jiang who was unconscious and on a ventilator, Jiang Zhaozhao with horrific burns and his deformed left foot, the only part with intact skin.
Judging from the time, Jiang Zhaozhao's wound went from slightly healing to the area of infection expanding. The scarlet photo made Jiang Yuan, who was already not very friendly to strangers, nervous and his mental state was worrying.
Giving hope and then destroying it over and over again, Jiang Yuan was left hanging with a lasting breath. Finally, after learning the truth about his death, he jumped off the building and died without hesitation.
Jiang Yuanshi couldn't believe that Gu Zhi didn't do it on purpose, so he asked the system if he could retrieve the surveillance footage from Gu's Hospital.
The system couldn't understand this behavior. "If the host needs it, I can provide you with nearly two months of monitoring. However, the main cause of Jiang Yuan's death was the loss of his family. Gu Zhi was only one of the reasons. In the original novel, Jiang Yuan's death was already determined."
Jiang Yuanshi pounded his back, speaking without hesitation despite overusing his head, "So what? You said it was a ring, so in my eyes he's an accomplice."
System: "Your comments are too subjective."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Yes, judging things is inherently personal. Some people hate good people, and some people like bad people. It all depends on the individual. Even something as popular as the RMB has people who hate it."
The system thinks the host is making a sophistry. Jiang Yuanshi said: "We'll know whether it's a sophistry or not after watching the surveillance."
As Jiang Yuanshi was speaking, he was about to look at the computer again, but was stopped in time by the system.
"You've worked for over 13 hours today. Please rest." Jiang Yuanshi was about to speak when the system said, "Your hands haven't fully recovered yet. You've been overused. The probability of sequelae will increase by 31.33%."
The system was just being tested, but Jiang Yuanshi didn't expect that he would really stop working after hearing what he said. He turned off the computer after saving the program.
The system continued to work hard. "Excessive use of the eyes will lead to a rapid decline in vision." After that, an eye care video came on the projector.
“…” Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and did as he was told. After he finished, he scraped his eye sockets and looked at the system. Is that okay?
"Long-term sitting can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain, and staying in a dark room for a long time can easily lead to depression."
Jiang Yuanshi retorted: "Mr. System, my legs are disabled and I can only use a wheelchair. It's very troublesome to go out."
System version Shen Shi handed over the crutch, and Jiang Yuanshi gritted his teeth and took it, "Thank you."
In this way, the system pushed the wheelchair slowly behind Jiang Yuanshi who was on crutches, and the two of them walked around the hospital.
Today's host is very obedient and the system is very satisfied. According to pedagogy, rewards should be given at this time.
Jiang Yuanshi gasped and slumped in his wheelchair, unwilling to move an inch. He was determined to push the system, the culprit, back. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he felt a sinking sensation on his head. "System... what are you doing?"
"Thank you for the compliment." The system touched Jiang Yuanshi's head seriously, and with its other hand, it took out a few pieces of candy from its pocket and put them in the stunned Jiang Yuanshi's hand.
Jiang Yuanshi held the candy in his palm and said, "You seem to be treating me like a child." He pouted and put the candy into his pocket.
The system expressed its approval and great appreciation for early childhood education.
“I’m an adult.”
"Adults and young children are all human beings."
"Doesn't your system have an age limit?"
“The system has seniority.”
It starts working from the factory.
Jiang Yuanshi: "..."
Never mind, after all, he is not a human being, I can understand.
The atmosphere of the human-machine error was relatively peaceful and lasted until the ward door, where it was interrupted by the sudden arrival of medical staff.
"Bed 03's Jiang Zhaozhao's vital signs are abnormal and there's a possibility of shock."
