Chapter 23: cost, leave, brand new world

She almost growled out in a shrill voice: "How can you be so shameless, you little brat!"

Xiaochi Chi said modestly, "I don't dare, I don't dare, you are an old-timer in this area."

Yang's mother was so angry that she gasped.

She is also known in the village is spirited, when she was young pregnant with her second daughter, with a big belly can still fight with the opposite door an afternoon of mouth, if there is fire are burning out, how can there be burned out and swallowed.

Baihua Yang knows her mother too well, and knows that the next step must be to make a move, and when the security guards come in, it's clear who they're going to turn towards.

He pulled Yang's mother, while anxiously persuaded, while hating to shrink his head into the neck: "Mom, forget it, forget it."

"Count my ass!"

Yang's mother was about to get angry when she heard Xiaochi Chi across the table say slowly, "You'd better take it easy. I can't guarantee that you won't be able to win a fight in your village for the rest of your life if your son's story comes out."

The only thing I can think of at this point is that Xiaochi Chi's mouth has probably been enlightened by some unorthodox Luohan.

In the end, Baihua Yang pulled Yang's mother, who was too angry to speak, into a full retreat, and nearly knocked the waiter who came to hear the news, and was showered with contempt and disgust from all the restaurant's diners.

Xiaochi Chi, who stayed in the compartment, had his face blocked by the bamboo curtain and escaped perfectly.

He gained 11 regret points, and a dinner that no one but him had touched.

The waiter enters the booth and asks Xiaochi Chi if there is anything else he needs.

Xiaochi Chi said, "One martini, and remove the two servings of cutlery."

Since the troublemaker was gone, the waiter did as he was told, put away the dishes and left.

061: "They're all gone, this dish ......"

Xiaochi Chi : "I'll eat. The dishes I order are all my own favorites anyway."

061: "......" is convinced.

After a while, 061 asked again, "What if she gets annoyed and fights with you?"

Xiaochi Chi gave the answer in a second: "First snap her face with sweet and sour pork, then call the police."

061: "......"

Xiaochi Chi: "Do you want to reason with her at this time? I have my hand under the plate, if she dares to make a move, I dare to smash her face."

061 jokingly said, "Chi strong man, accept my obeisance."

Xiaochi Chi : "Pax."

061: "......" ...... doesn't seem right somewhere.

Once the person in the way left, the room immediately seemed excessively quiet.

Xiaochi Chi is quite used to this kind of quiet.

He moves gracefully when he is alone, and his body, which has been rigorously trained as a model, will automatically strike a pose that captures good pictures from all angles even when it is relaxed.

He looked down on the city at night from the highest place in the city, like a tourist.

...... It's nice here, yet it's not supposed to be his go-to place, just a stopover.

Xiaochi Chi says, "It's just fine the way it is."

061 looked at the progress bar of remorse value that turned from light blue to dark blue and showed 94, and could not hide his relief: "Yes. That's good."

Xiaochi Chi added, "The Yang family and Baihua Yang won't bother you anymore. Xiulun Su is very much in favor of you using live streaming to attract popularity now. This form of public performance where you don't have to meet in person suits you well, and you can take your time to adapt."

At first 061 thought he was talking to himself, but as he listened, he heard something unusual: "Who are you talking to?"

Xiaochi Chi asked rhetorically, "Aren't there any seniors in your system who are bringing up their juniors? I'm taking him."

061: "Take who?"

Xiaochi Chi : " Yuan Cheng ah."

061 is really frozen this time: "...... Who are you talking about? Yuan Cheng he has ......"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Mr. Six, let me ask you, if Yuan Cheng is really dead, how come I can use his musical talent without using the skill card?"

061 still not quite acceptable: "This ......"

"I asked 009 another question." Xiaochi Chi said. Xiaochi Chi said, "Why did the Lord God pick me and why did he pick Yuan Cheng. 009 said he didn't know either."

I haven't figured this out until today," he said. However, since the main god can penetrate all the world lines, and regardless of the energy that supports its operation, it is impossible for Yuan Cheng to choose to be reborn and go back to the past without paying a price. Just like I had to sign a contract and complete ten missions to go back."

"Gathering these two doubts, can I make a hypothesis." Xiaochi Chi said. Xiaochi Chi said, " Yuan Cheng, like me, signed a contract with the Lord God. But what he signed was to rent his body. During the rental period, he was not allowed to express any opinion and only kept consciousness, hidden within this body, and he was allowed to appear only when his talents were needed."

061 winced.

He suddenly understood why 009 and he handed over his shift crying about Xiaochi Chi telling him ghost stories.

If Xiaochi Chi's deduction is true, then before, once the host chooses to die and disappear, doesn't it mean that ......

Xiaochi Chi said to 061, "009 had the same reaction when he heard me say it. ...... So you all didn't think about it."

061 Silence.

He had been formatted, long forgotten that he wanted to think about this issue, and could only vaguely remember that his experience, which was systematically taught by his predecessors.

All of his known systems are adhering to this subtle - rule, that is, according to the world line, no moths, do not break the persona, stable, dead and disappeared.

061 is already considered to be quite inclusive in this generation of systems.

If it were any other system, Xiaochi Chi would have stopped Baihua Yang the first time he told him to "spend your money" and told him not to play like that because the risk was too high.

061 The more you think about it, the more alarmed you are.

If the original owner really signed any contract, stranded in this body, watching to help him fulfill his heart's desire to be humiliated again in front of the scum attack, there are mouths hard to say, there are grievances hard to tell, and finally died in the arms of the scum attack ......

The silence of 061 was also expected by Xiaochi Chi.

He lifted his glass and looked at the lights of thousands of homes far and near, thinking meaningfully that this main god who was behind everything was quite interesting.

Soon after, 061 asked, "Do you want to validate your idea?"

"How do you verify?"

"Every time the host dies, it requires a full level of remorse value drive from the mission subject to pull the host's consciousness away. This time, when the repentance value is full, I will directly pull you out of this body. I want to see the follow-up, without you, Yuan Cheng will die from now on, or ......"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Sure, that's fine with me."

He added, "As for Yuan Cheng, I can't guarantee that he will live or die. But I think that God sent me here because he should also want him to have a good life."

061 sniffed, and many details came to mind in a flash.

Xiaochi Chi refused to smoke and eat spicy food, saying he was afraid of ruining Yuan Cheng's voice.

Xiaochi Chi never thinks of himself as Yuan Cheng in private, except when he has to.

Xiaochi Chi plucked Yuan Cheng clean while he was cooking Baihua Yang.

Even during the live broadcast and the dinner with Xiulun Su, he was quite restrained and quiet, exactly like Yuan Cheng.

061 The more you think about it, the more alarmed you are.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Xiaochi Chi's thinking was not limited by stereotypes. He pushed the situation step by step in the direction he wanted it to go, for a mere guess.

-- Yuan Cheng may still be alive somewhere in this body, and may have a chance to start over.

Xiaochi Chi is looking out the window and 061 is looking at him.

In the past, 061 thought he was both sensible and a little childish, and sometimes there was a little bit of roguishness, but now Xiaochi Chi, who was alone enjoying the night scene, was so gentle that his heart went soft.

For the next period of time, Baihua Yang's regret level remained above ninety, with a steady increase.

Xiaoyan Yang's value reached 100 on the day the verdict came down.

Cloud City invested too much in the promotion of Huan Tang's fifth anniversary and now it has become a joke outside of the industry, someone has to pay for the loss.

After all, it was Cloud City's leading actress, money basket, and pillar of the stage who was hurt.

According to the contract, the breaching party must compensate the other party for all the damages suffered as a result of the breach, including the commercial value of Huan Tang, the damaged reputation of the agency, and the plagiarized songs, totaling $9.25 million for Xiaoyan Yang.

As soon as the trial result came out, Xiaoyan Yang immediately cried and fell on the defendant's stand, making her last move, saying that she could not afford to pay for the damages and wanted to commit suicide, not to live anymore, and was slapped by her father.

The courtroom was in chaos, with only Baihua Yang, the only one who knew anything about the subject, pining away, saying they wanted to appeal.

According to Xiaochi Chi, all Cloud City wants is a first instance verdict to save the company's and Huan Tang's reputation, and if Xiaoyan Yang can't afford to pay, the amount of damages may be able to be lowered.

And indeed, regardless of the outcome of the second trial, that award will allow Baihua Yang to shine and devote his life to the family he loves so much and is so inseparable from.

Later that evening, Xiaochi Chi, who had finished a live broadcast, received a transmission.

Before he leaves, he lies in bed and speaks to Yuan Cheng, who doesn't know if he will wake up.

"If you can survive after I leave, that's the best ending. The road that can be paved, I paved it for you."

"Live is a more acceptable way for you at this stage, you have to slowly get used to being in contact with people, playing and singing in front of people, and it's not possible for you to have a concert in the future."

"I'm sure I won't be able to watch your concerts in the future. If you can survive, every time you open a concert, leave me a front row ticket, as a thank you."

Having said that, he was jerked out of this world by 061.

Xiaochi Chi regretted a bit as he faded in and out of consciousness.

Until today, he was not able to find that day himself in the Nebula Hall glimpse of "Lou's shadow".

However, whether that is an illusion, or real, as long as that is Lou Shadow, must be well off in this world.

About half an hour after he left, Aunt Chen came upstairs with fruit, knocked on the door and no one answered, pushed the door, only to find Yuan Cheng burning hot, hugging the quilt and shivering.

She was so frightened that she called out to Jian Cheng: "Come and take a look, why is Xiao Yuan burning so badly?"

After a long, drowsy stay, Yuan Cheng opened his eyes and saw Aunt Chen and Jian Cheng at the bedside table.

His voice was full of the hoarseness of a patient: "Aunt Chen."

Aunt Chen knocked the ice frame, took a towel and wrapped it on Yuan Cheng's forehead: "Little ancestor, stop talking, look at your voice, what kind of sand."

Yuan Cheng cried: "...... Aunt Chen, I want to eat sauerkraut fish."

Aunt Chen was distressed by his crying and took a clean towel to wipe his tears: "Fish is hairy, it's not good to eat now. When Xiao Yuan is well, Aunt Chen will make a big pot for you and give it to you to eat."

Jian Cheng said in an aside: "How old you are, still crying, shame on you."

Yuan Cheng turned his head and softly called out, "...... brother."

Jian Cheng was a little squirmy: "Hmm."

Yuan Cheng reached out to take his hand, his palm was wet with cold sweat: "Brother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't fight with you for Baihua Yang, I ......"

Jian Cheng took the towel from Aunt Chen and wiped his palms.

"...... is fine." He said, "It's all in the past. Just go home, whatever."

At the same time, the datapad in the main god's "In a Moment" sent back a message that Xiaochi Chi's mission was over.

Host code：1198

Host Name: Xiaochi Chi

World difficulty level rating: C level (novice level)

World completion: 100

Host status assessment: all functions are good and stable, ready for transmission.

Total entropy value obtained: 489 (below average 3250)

The Lord God did not like this terribly low number.

But after waiting for half a day, he found a missing value.

It asked in a deep voice: "What about the entropy gained by the contracted 2396?"

Its exclusive AI replied, "Contractor 2396 Yuan Cheng , the resulting entropy value is zero."

"...... what?"

The Lord God laughed in anger: "Is there any worse news?"

The AI continued, "The host is detached from the contractor in the living state, and according to the regulations, the contract between the contractor and us is automatically released."

In other words, the huge amount of energy value that drove the timeline backwards was all for naught.

This news finally made the main god burst into a fury: "...... What's going on?!"

Contractors are as indispensable a source of energy to the Lord God as the host.

They are found by the system and extradited to the main god space while they are on the verge of death and sign a contract, often with great hatred.

And in the Lord God's pact, the conditions are opened extremely tempting.

"Pick a special person to serve you and help you live again."

And because of this, staying in this body and watching the host take a path that is not far from his own, even to the point of spreading his legs and being the most hated person in his life ......

This unresolved hatred will even make their cumulative entropy value exceed the host by several times or even tens of times, completely offsetting the entropy value consumed by the system to adjust the timeline.

And now, the Lord God has spent tens of thousands of entropy, but only got a pitiful 489 points of entropy from this world.

This trip to do business is too eclipsed, if the Lord God has the bottom, now probably have lost money to pick to sell.

The AI felt the huge energy fluctuation of the main god: "...... Are you angry?"

The Lord God does not speak.

The AI continues to ask: "If you are angry, you can readjust the world line of the contracted Yuan Cheng. However, I need to remind you that if you readjust, you need to rewind the timeline back to before Xiaochi Chi came, so you will lose double the entropy value of one round trip; moreover, you can only format the system, but cannot erase the memory of the contractor or the host - which means that if you blindly rewind, the contractor has an 87.5 percent of possibility that they will choose to break the contract."

Lord God: "Shut up."

He was really angry, and the sound he made was so dull that it sounded like the low growl of a beast before it attacked.

The Lord God's entropy inventory is tremendous, but he cannot allow it to be lost, much less allow his authority to be challenged.

--1198, Xiaochi Chi, or the first person who dared to challenge the rules he set for himself.

At that moment, the AI said, "061 sent a message back that it was ready to transmit."

The main god in a rage gradually calmed down his anger.

It does not intend to expend any more excess energy with Yuan Cheng, who is a shrewd brain and will not allow further losses to occur.

...... But Xiaochi Chi is still in its hands, isn't it.

The Lord God let out a low laugh of triumph.

Within a few moments, he completed Xiaochi Chi's transmission.

Xiaochi Chi was awakened by a sharp pain.

After closing his eyes and feeling with his heart, Xiaochi Chi calculated that this body now has at least two broken ribs.

Instead of being in the hospital, he was lying in bed in one of the bedrooms.

According to the texture of the mattress under the body extrapolated, the price of this bed should be the kind of inch.

However, the surrounding area is extremely dark, no light, the curtains are drawn, as quiet as the grave, can make a decent noise, only the bedside drip bottle.

Xiaochi Chi said with difficulty, "...... Six teachers, our teacher-student relationship ends here."

061 didn't know what this was all about, and the first thing he did was to help Xiaochi Chi block out the pain and open the message board again, ready to receive the plot of this world line.

Then, he saw something that made him unbelievable.

World difficulty rating ......A level?
