Chapter 53 Reality (2) Trending Search
Unlike the final, desperate sprint in the first instance, Lin Chujiu's journey in this instance was quite peaceful.
A flash of white light, and Lin Chujiu returned to the system space.
The system still asked her:
"You have two days off this time. Do you want to rest in the real world or in the horror world?"
Lin Chujiu didn't answer; instead, she smiled and asked in return:
"This dungeon could have been much harder, why were you all so merciful?"
The system paused for a moment, then replied, "Can't I treat you better?"
I didn't expect you to find out; you really are clever.
The system's voice held a hint of melancholy as it finished speaking.
Lin Chujiu didn't understand where that sense of loss came from, and said to herself, "Actually, you weren't any better to me."
In this instance, logically speaking, Xiao Ju should die before Yu Xuan.
Because, to teach players a lesson, you usually need to give them a warning first, and then if they don't take any action, you'll give them a real lesson.
Similarly, the measures taken were of little use. This lesson will most likely have to be taught no matter what, since players don't have that much power.
Therefore, Yu Xuan is destined to die.
The previous order better reveals a deeper theme of the story:
Traffic safety is everyone's responsibility.
What you see today might be cats and dogs hit and killed on the street; what you see tomorrow might be your fellow human beings who have died.
What if that cat or dog became a person, or even someone close to you? Or perhaps, what about you?
You may be indifferent to the death of cats and dogs, but what about the people closest to you? How do the people closest to you treat you?
The kitten's death was merely a warning, but Yu Xuan's death may be the real lesson that leads to the central theme.
Mr. Lu once said: If we stand by and watch coldly today, when disaster strikes us in the future, there will be no one to cheer us on.
I think this principle applies to this instance as well.
Changing the order only makes it harder for me to pass the game.
The more difficult test involves guessing the theme based on the altered order of the information.
The system did not close the live stream at this time. The viewers in the live stream were initially surprised that they could see the system space, but were then shocked by Lin Chujiu's words.
Holy crap, you can do that?!
I never expected that!
Can you believe it? No normal person could imagine it. Okay, with this level of comprehension, how many points could you get on the college entrance exam in Chinese?
My God, this isn't just top-level understanding, this is god-level understanding!
My dear daughter, you're so smart! I love you even more now.
[Am I the only one wondering why Master Hanyu hasn't shown up since?]
[Han Yu: I'm here]
Seeing Han Yu emerge, Lin Chujiu was somewhat surprised:
"Hanyu Baby, why aren't you doing your job! I told you to keep an eye on my livestream, why aren't you watching?"
Her voice was slightly reproachful, and her deliberately pouty expression was especially adorable.
[Hanyu: Everyone's been behaving well, there's no one to kick, so I won't come out.]
Lin Chujiu said with dissatisfaction, "Then you can interact with me."
She paused, then blinked her big eyes: "Hanyu baby, I will read all your comments."
Her feigned anger and show of weakness had completely captivated the man on the other side of the screen.
There was a moment of silence on Han Yu's end, and just as Lin Chujiu was wondering if she had been too bold, a broadcast sounded—
[Hanyu gifted streamer Tianjiu a romantic flower sea*10 (9999 diamonds)]
Looking at the screen full of romantic flower sea effects, Lin Chujiu exaggeratedly covered her mouth, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.
That's so exhilarating! I wouldn't mind letting her suffer the pain of being drowned in a sea of money a million times over!
Lin Chujiu smiled broadly, "Thank you Hanyu baby for the romantic sea of flowers, I really love you so much!"
Lin Chujiu said it wasn't enough, she also made a heart shape with her hands for him.
【Han Yu: (≧▽≦)】
The system here didn't want to see the heartwarming interaction between Lin Chujiu and her older brother, so it decisively cut off the live stream.
Lin Chujiu angrily looked at the system, but couldn't find its physical form at all, so she could only sullenly look up at the sky.
Her cheeks were chubby, and her face was fair and rosy, making her look not only not fierce, but also exceptionally cute.
If viewers saw this scene, they would probably be overwhelmed by its cuteness.
But the system wasn't an audience member. It gave Lin Chujiu a sinister chuckle and asked with a forced smile:
"Would you like to rest in the real world, or in a world of horror?"
Having her secret exposed, the system was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
Lin Chujiu sullenly squeezed out two words: "Reality!"
The next instant, a white light flashed again, and Lin Chujiu opened her eyes to find herself transported back to the rented room where she had started.
She was gone for almost a week this time, and the house smelled a bit musty.
Lin Chujiu opened the windows for ventilation.
She returned in the evening. She hadn't eaten since the Great Escape in the instance. She hadn't felt hungry while in the instance, but now that she was out, her adrenaline had gone down and her hunger had quickly increased.
Lin Chujiu cooked herself a bowl of instant noodles, and thinking that she had money now, she happily added a sausage to her meal.
She checked her account backend and found that she had accumulated nearly 20,000 followers.
so much?
Lin Chujiu was overjoyed. Last time she saw it, it was only about a thousand, but now it's almost ten thousand.
It seems that many viewers approve of her live streams.
In the afternoon, she created a fan group. The requirements for joining the group were not strict; all that was needed was to answer the question about the names of two dungeons that Lin Chujiu had participated in.
She chatted with her fans and realized that she had already been on several trending topics.
Besides the initial trending topics about her beauty, there were also some trending topics about her courage in introducing new rules.
Lin Chujiu (Conan face): Well said, as expected of me!
From now on, praise me like this!
She continued reading, and then her face instantly darkened.
She didn't want to look at those contents anymore, so she randomly flipped through today's news and forced herself to go to bed.
In a corner where no one could see her, she lay in bed, her shoulders trembling, her pillow still damp from the night before.
The wind rustled the windowpanes, bringing a chill, but she paid no heed, staring blankly ahead.
The next morning, she covered herself up as usual and went to see her mother, only to find several people standing in front of her mother's hospital room.
Lin Chujiu was unsure, so she pulled the doctor next to her and asked:
"Who are those people? What are they doing in front of my mother's hospital room?"
The doctor was pulled back by her, looking bewildered.
"You're saying you're also a patient's family member?"
This time it was Lin Chujiu's turn to be dumbfounded. She asked helplessly:
"Are there other family members besides me?"
Doesn't Mom only have one daughter?
