Chapter 14

Sui Si's apartment.

Yu Tang and the system were nestled in the sea of consciousness and watched the entire live broadcast.

In order to allow employees to immerse themselves in the characters and plot as much as possible, Chuan Bookstore has made great efforts.The first-person view was broadcast in high-definition without delay. After the voice-over ended, a few seconds passed before the screen stopped in the smoke.

"Does he really think so?"

Yu Tang was a little surprised: "When I get back to the game, will I be able to get a B in the assessment of entering the scene in one second?"

system:"……"

Yu Tang dragged back the progress bar and listened to the voiceover of "Can't Live" twice.

His ban package has not expired, but he is not restricted from speaking in his mind.Yu Tang has read four books and has never had such a big breakthrough in the direction of love. He was still not satisfied and asked the system to discuss: "Is this the power of acting?"

system:"……"

It feels like it is the power of Sui Si's brain power.

But its host obviously doesn't think so. Its host is very happy and even wants to pay the re-examination fee for the one-second drama project.

"Host, host." The system looked at Yu Tang who had already begun to make small calculations, suppressed the worry of wasting experience points, and reminded him to get down to business, "Sui Si wants you to join W&P, do you want to agree?"

Yu Tang was curious: "Can I still disagree?"

"Yes." The system said, "I asked other systems and it seems that their hosts usually refuse on the grounds that they 'just want to stay with the protagonist' and 'are willing to give up better development opportunities for the protagonist.'"

It's not that the protagonist is really that important. In the various world lines under Chuan Bookstore, as long as there is really no choice, the employees are basically unwilling to follow this kind of plot.

The affectionate backup department where Yu Tang works is okay. Relatively speaking, it is still mainly about emotional lines and story lines, and there won't be anything too outrageous.

The all-powerful secretary and housekeeper department next door often receives requests in some world lines, including but not limited to "Develop a complete game system within three days", "Triple sales within a week", "Within two monthsUnreasonable demands such as "acquire a rival company".

Their systems have no way to provide cheats beyond the logic of the world line. To complete these tasks, the host can only spend huge sums of money to purchase S-level short-term products such as [Extraordinary Talent], [Unparalleled Talent], and [Tianliang King Po].Ability boosting card.

Because of this, the employees of the Almighty Housekeeping Department often cannot make ends meet. All the experience points earned from the previous book will be exchanged for ability cards in this book. Together with the Affectionate Spare Tire Department, they have become the fastest job-hopping among Chuan Bookstore employees.Two major departments.

“We don’t have a lot of experience points.”

The system has just assessed the difficulty of the job of the W&P Marketing Director. It does not want to discourage the host, so it carefully chooses the wording: "With our current savings, if the host is kidnapped ten times and sells ten slave ships, we can probably buy an S-level card."Ability card..."

Yu Tang: "Why buy experience cards?"

system:"?"

"Exceptionally talented?" Yu Tang came over and took a look at the system's shopping cart, "This card was made during my internship."

system:"……?"

Yu Tang clicked on the page: "Unparalleled talent and Tianliang Wangpo are all made by me. I actually wrote a set of teaching materials "Zero Basics Teach You How to Acquire a Consortium", but they don't seem to be interested and would rather buy it.King Tianliang broke the card."

These were just pastimes when they were bored. Yu Tang was still thinking about making up for the exam, so when the system wasn't paying attention, he pulled out their small treasury and counted the experience points from beginning to end.

When he first came to Chuan Bookstore as an intern, the first place he went to was the Almighty Butler Department.

The Almighty Butler Department is a pure tool type with very low requirements for emotional connections. Yu Tang works very smoothly and once wanted to report and stay in this department forever.

If he hadn't accidentally acquired the protagonist's company several times because he was too smooth at work, he wouldn't have been persuaded to quit by the head of the Almighty Housekeeper Department, and he would have joined the Affectionate Spare Department, which is also a supporting role in the tool man system.

"One more make-up exam. As long as One Second Enters the Drama reaches a C-level score of 75 or above, we can file a report and apply to be transferred to Long Aotian's leading role department."

Yu Tang: "If your career line is upgraded, success and fame will lead to a successful career and a rich family."

Yu Tang discussed with the system: "There are still two experience points left, give me a piece of bubble gum."

"...Host." The system had just restarted and was struggling to run the logic program. "The [Tianliang King Po] card was only launched this year. When did you develop it?"

"This year," Yu Tang said, "Have I not been playing games alone in the cold villa in the third book?"

The system handed over the bubble gum and remembered the hundreds of hours Yu Tang had spent addicted to PSP: "..."

Those hosts who spend huge sums of money to buy ability cards must not know that those ridiculously expensive S-level ability cards, which are like cutting off flesh, were developed on a second-hand game console.

The rigid system of Chuan Bookstore, where "employees with any D-level rating are not allowed to be transferred to the main department" should actually consider the actual situation and make appropriate updates and reforms.

Yu Tang skillfully digitized the bubble gum, recovered the balance of experience points, and submitted the application for the seventy-ninth make-up exam.

The system improved its understanding of the host and no longer tried to dissuade Yu Tang. It helped him retrieve relevant information about W&P: "Host, those ability cards are all experience points at sky-high prices. As a developer, doesn't the host get any dividends?"

"Yes." Yu Tang said, "It cannot be used for the time being. The money earned from dividends does not share the same worldview as ours."

Passbooks are unlocked in a ladder and are also linked to employee skill ratings.He can currently only use the profit income within his worldview. Only by brushing all skill ratings to C level or above can he unlock the income transfer function across worldviews.

If these books didn't happen to be in the same world, even if the system sold the slave ship in the first book, the experience points would only be temporarily sealed due to insufficient authority.

Once he passes the C-level exam in One Second, Chuan Bookstore's dividends will be automatically unblocked and directly credited to his account.1:1 exchange rate of world currencies, you can buy as much bubble gum as you want.

"We should report to the headquarters and apply for adjustments to the regulations." The system complained for him, "Although the host's acting skills are only 61 points, and 20 points are exchanged for permanent skill cards, the host's outstanding abilities in other aspects should also be allowed.Come in as compensation."

"When I came to Chuan Bookstore, the work manuals were from twenty years ago and were dog-eared."

Yu Tang clicked on the monitor and stole another piece of bubble gum from the system: "The bureau probably has never encountered a situation like mine. Let those old antiques study it further."

The system flashed a small red light, and he and he came to the monitor and reviewed the conversation between Sui Si and Nie Chi in the car.

Yu Tang likes to engage in career. There is no special reason. He just likes it naturally.

He is not very interested in money, but building his career from scratch to the top is more fun and exciting for Yu Tang than any other game.

In contrast, practicing acting skills, cooperating with the protagonist to explore emotional lines, and completing a book step by step to earn experience points are the inhumane destruction of work enthusiasm that turns people into social animals.

Yu Tang doesn't want to destroy him, but as long as he improves his acting skills under the training of these worlds, he can get sky-high dividends and live a retirement life of buying whichever company he wants.

"Work harder." Yu Tang found out that he could go to work at W&P, and he became much more excited. He cheered up and high-fived the system, "Practice your acting skills. If you pass 75 points, we will become rich overnight."

The system flashed a small red light, high-fived him, and quickly went to the system discount mall and bought back a complete set of "Actor's Self-cultivation" series of books.

When Sui Si arrived home, Yu Tang had just finished reading the third page of the series.

He got a headache as soon as he read this set of books. He read three pages as hard as he could, and fell asleep twice. He was woken up by a hand gently holding his shoulders, and he opened his eyes as Yu Tang.

Sui Si sat on the edge of the bed.

The curtains blocked most of the light. In the dim bedroom, the potion from the hanging bottle was dripping down drop by drop, and the air seemed quiet.

Sui Si's face didn't look good, and there was a hint of exhaustion between his brows, but his expression was rare and gentle.

At least that's the case for Yu Tang.

Except for those times when they just got married and pretended to be intimate in front of the camera in order to share the firepower for Ke Ming... Such gentleness appeared on Sui Si's face, which was almost rare and seemed strange.

Sui Si's acting skills are very good, he can be retracted and released freely, he can be gentle and considerate in front of the camera, and he can also immediately return to indifference after the camera is removed.No one saw the flaw in the actor-level acting skills. Those CP fans on the Internet who were addicted to Sui Si and Ke Ming were so stung by such scenes that they lost their minds and followed Yu Tang with overwhelming insults and ridicules for nearly a year.

Seeing such gentleness on Sui Si's face, Yu Tang's deep original data, the first thing that surged up was almost suffocating fear.

"Are you awake?" Sui Si reached out to help him, "I brought you porridge, you..."

Sui Si stopped talking, and the outstretched hand paused in the air.

Yu Tang dodged his hand.

Sui Si's chest felt slightly sinking without any trace. He calmly put down his hand and looked at Yu Tang quietly.

…

"Host!" The system was startled and reminded Yu Tang in his mind, "We can't violate the personality——"

Yu Tang was also confused: "I didn't violate my character."

This action was not his own will at all. It was an instinctive reaction to Sui Si's action based on his logical calculations based on the raw data he made before leaving.

The system was a little surprised. When I came over to open the OOC panel, I saw no data fluctuations.

Yu Tang's heart suddenly moved: "Can you apply for a re-deduction? From today onwards, it will be deduced until Sui Si's marriage, and Yu Tang's plot line will be re-deduced."

"Yes, the Supervision Department is also responsible for this." The system said, "It's just that the data is too huge and it will take several days."

Yu Tang was not short of time. He arranged the system to submit the application and continued to focus on exploring subtle changes that were difficult to detect.

The deep look in Sui Si's eyes only leaked out for a moment, before he adjusted his mood, turned sideways, and put the porridge on the bedside table.

"mad at me?"

There was no blame in Sui Si's tone. He covered Yu Tang with the quilt and said slowly, "You misunderstood what I said in the morning."

Yu Tang opened his mouth, but still no sound came out.

He just woke up, and he still felt very uncomfortable. His arms were shaking and he tried his best to support his body. He looked at Sui Si with a pale face.

"I don't want to send you away, but I want you to put down your burden and have a good rest."

Sui Si raised his head: "Look at yourself, how thin have you become?"

Yu Tang instinctively pursed his lips and lowered his head as if he had made a mistake.

Sui Si looked at Yu Tang. For some reason, the pressure in his chest relaxed a little.

Knowing Yu Tang's thoughts on him, Sui Si didn't want to give Yu Tang useless expectations and never took a good look at Yu Tang.

Now he slowly discovered that Yu Tang was not as annoying as he thought when he was like this.

Yu Tang's temperament is dull and meek. This meekness can hide many details, making people think that his appearance is not outstanding.But those eyes were clean and gentle, and he lowered his head quietly, his loose forehead hair also fell down, and there was a little unclear mist under his eyelashes.

Sui Si recalled the countless thoughts that flashed through his mind that day when he rescued Yu Tang from the river and wrapped him in clothes and carried him to the hospital.

If there was no bet from the Sui family, and there was no contract that weighed him down, he would have asked Yu Tang to stay at home, not going anywhere, doing nothing, and resting peacefully.

The doctor had reminded him that Yu Tang's current state was unstable and his eagerness to communicate and get along normally might lead to more serious consequences.

...But he didn't have time.

For Yu Tang, as long as he is patient and gentle, there should be no problem.

Sui Si looked at Yu Tang's expression. He tried his best to grasp the scale and said slowly: "Are you hungry?"

Yu Tang stepped back.

"System, check." Yu Tang asked in his mind, "Has the OOC value fluctuated?"

The system held up a small paper umbrella to prevent electric shock and was particularly surprised: "No!"

Yu Tang had a rough idea.

According to the rules, he should have been aroused by Sui Si's gaze and become nervous and uneasy, so he should immediately return to work and do what he should do as Yu Te's assistant.

But now, even though Yu Tang is still cowering and hiding, the character's OOC evaluation has not fluctuated at all.

The lack of fluctuations shows that the plot development of this world, the accumulated pressure on Yu Tang, and the doctor's diagnosis of Yu Tang's mental state have provided enough logical support to bring about new changes in the character.

"The doctor's diagnosis does say that Yutang is in an acute stress period and may behave abnormally."

The system also turned to this article and urgently downloaded the "Guide to Human Psychiatric Diseases": "Host, we need to check what counts as abnormal behavior..."

"Run." Yu Tang said, "Go live in a big villa and become the marketing director."

system:"……"

It felt that this move was a little too abnormal.

"It doesn't matter, there is a bug in the bureau's rules."

Yu Tang has already summed up the rule: "As long as I can explain the logic of my behavior clearly, it is not considered OOC."

Just like Yu Tang now, because he has endured pressure beyond the limit, even if he cannot return to the calm and stable Yu Teshu before, it will no longer cause fluctuations in his character.

For Sui Si, the backup man Yutang, who was once obedient and obedient to him, had begun to lose control.

"My condition is too bad. I am in an acute stress period of catatonic stupor and cannot communicate effectively with the outside world."

Yu Tang said: "Sui Si woke me up and forced me to accept the stimulation of new environmental changes, which further aggravated the stress response. I no longer have the energy to take care of him."

The plot of this section is very reasonable. The system reports to the Supervision Department and is worried: "But how do we transition to a big villa?"

"I knew this was not a place where I could stay, so I left Sui Si's house based on instinct."

Yu Tang: "I wandered all the way to the villa area provided by W&P for employees..."

system:"……"

"Okay." Yu Tang gave in and "went to the studio."

This is the place Yu Tang is most familiar with. Even if he is unconscious, his body instinctively remembers that he has something to do and will return here.

In order to win this cooperation for Sui Si, Yu Tang worked voluntarily for half a year in lower-level departments of W&P. The staff sent by W&P to hand over the contract would not fail to recognize him.

If something strange about him is discovered, Yu Tang will be protected by W&P people and taken back to the headquarters for proper treatment.

"Large companies and consortiums all prioritize interests."

The system is still worried: "What if they feel that the host's condition is not good and they don't want to hire the host?"

Yu Tang was very kind: "Then I will hack the mailbox of their president and give them a copy of "Zero Basics Teach You How to Acquire a Consortium"."

system:"……"

The system muted myself, and I went to the Supervision Department to report to the Supervision Department with the written appeal letter.

Yu Tang recovered his mind.

Sui Si was still talking slowly to him.

Yu Tang lowered his eyelashes and did not respond, and his expression did not change.

He was just like he was in the office that day, sitting motionless, even the sudden fear and shrinking he had just lost.

Sui Si took the porridge, took a spoonful, and handed it to Yu Tang's lips.

"Eat a little." Sui Si said, "You are angry with me, but there is no need to be angry with your body."

His tone is gentle and considerate, like all the most normal spouses on screen and in front of the camera.

Yu Tang didn't seem to hear what he said. It wasn't until the warm rice porridge in the spoon touched his lips that his misty eyes moved and he raised his head.

Sui Si felt helpless: "Open your mouth."

Yu Tang opened his mouth as instructed, followed Sui Si's movements, and took the spoonful of porridge in his mouth.

He just held it in his mouth, neither chewing nor swallowing, and stopped moving.

Yu Tang is a little younger than Ke Ming. He holds a little porridge in his mouth and his cheeks bulge slightly, making him look even smaller.

Almost like a confused and chaotic deer.

"What are you thinking about?"

Sui Si laughed: "Okay, I admit my mistake."

"I admit my mistake." Sui Si said softly, "I can't do it without you. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that this morning. Don't be angry with me."

As he spoke, he reached out and wanted to touch Yu Tang's hair.

Halfway through raising his hand, Yu Tang suddenly sat up.

Yu Tang pulled out the hanging needle from his hand, ignored the blood stains on the back of his hand, stood up and got out of bed.

Yu Tang's movements were not fast, and every movement even showed a faint stiffness and rigidity, but he seemed to be particularly determined.

"what are you doing?"

Sui Si was stunned: "Yutang, what are you going to do? You -"

He soon knew what Yu Tang was going to do.

Yu Tang's movements were very skillful, so skillful that they seemed to have become a certain established pattern due to countless repetitions.

No need to think, no dare to think.

With his back to Sui Si, he tidied up the bed where he had been lying, folded the quilt into its original shape, and stretched the sheets flat.

Yu Tang wandered around the room as if he hadn't seen Sui Si at all. He packed the bottles and infusion tubes into plastic bags, and restored everything that had been moved to their original state.

Yu Tang knelt on the ground, smoothing out the wrinkles on the carpet bit by bit.

Carrying the plastic bag containing the medical waste, he walked to the bedside, picked up the freshly opened hot porridge, and poured it in together.

"Yu Tang!" Sui Si's pupils shrank sharply. He went over to stop Yu Tang and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean? You -"

Sui Si's expression changed several times, and he stopped talking in shock.

Yu Tang wasn't looking at him.

There was mist in those eyes, and Yu Tang's vision was blurry, as if he couldn't see anything and couldn't express any emotion.

Yu Tang walked around Sui Si and turned off the lights in the bedroom.

His consciousness was chaotic, and he could only remember one thing clearly: he would never be allowed to stay in this bedroom.

This is not his home.

Yu Tang carried the bag of garbage, walked out of the neatly arranged bedroom, opened the door, and left Sui Si's residence without looking back.
