EBE Chapter 109
Chapter 109
"Not a single one?"
Although Ni Yangzhou had refused almost all visitors in the past few years under the pretext of seclusion, the letters and visiting cards from the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had never stopped.
Flower viewing in spring, mountain visits in summer, picnics in autumn, poetry readings in winter, gifts and invitations are like pre-set bills that arrive on time, whether you accept them or not.
Over the years, an entire room was set aside just to store all the visiting letters.
Ni Yangzhou asked Qingyi to bring all the letters from the Fourth Prince in recent months, and he sat in a chair and thought slowly.
"Third brother?"
103 responded.
"How is the construction of the mall going? After it is completed, will there be any opportunity to exchange for plots?"
Ni Yangzhou was suffering from the original plot line, and his current second round was blown beyond recognition by the butterfly wings of the crown prince and the fourth prince. If he knew the details of the first round, it would be much easier for him to complete the task.
[Currently still under construction.] 103 estimated the time:
[When you enter the next mission, it may be almost done. ]
Ni Yangzhou asked back: "Brother San knows that the mission is almost completed?"
103 said nothing and posted the task progress:
[73%]
Ni Yangzhou, who hadn't opened the system interface for a long time, was cheered up. The number was much higher than he expected.
The crown prince is not dead, Min Liu has not ascended the throne, the third prince has not been drowned, and the fourth prince has not died. How can the progress be so high?
Ni Yangzhou thought about it and felt that it might be his diligent and well-behaved protagonist who was secretly working hard.
Good student, good student.
I wonder if the good student has had any past life dreams related to the plot recently.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qingyi brought over all the things that the Fourth Prince had sent to the temple in the past three months.
Putting aside the treasures and toys, Ni Yangzhou arranged the time for the letters and opened them one by one to read them.
The ones from the first two months were all normal, and naturally they were not written by the Fourth Prince himself, but were written by his own attendants. Apart from the romantic stories, there were also some music and entertainment. There were also a few reflections after reading scriptures interspersed in them. The Fourth Prince created a good image for himself as a lazy prince who had no interest in the throne.
But Ni Yangzhou was not wandering around aimlessly. While collecting folk songs, he heard a lot of rumors spread by people with ulterior motives, saying that the Fourth Prince was both talented and virtuous, kind-hearted, and outstanding in government affairs, and was very popular among some middle and lower-level officials who were far away from the imperial city.
Keep turning to the last two letters.
The first letter said that he had taken over the task of supervising the army and was about to set out to escort food and fodder. He asked whether the immortal had returned and wanted to ask for some good prescriptions and medicines to reward the army.
The second letter was from when we were already on the way, just passing Dongshan County, and it contained a long and eloquent introduction to the scenery and customs along the way.
Based on the previous frequency of sending letters, the Fourth Prince should have sent at least three or four more letters.
Ni Yangzhou looked at the date and felt that something might go wrong with the Fourth Prince.
"Third brother, last time you said the data flow fluctuated, have you found the reason?"
103 replied:
[Not yet. The fluctuation was very slight at that time. Perhaps it was just the unstable connection of the world. Now it is completely normal.]
Ni Yangzhou was still worried:
"How is our protagonist?"
103 gradually became smarter:
[It's your protagonist. Fortunately, no problem, no death or injury. ]
Ni Yangzhou asked:
"How are the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince?"
103 said cautiously:
[The plot cannot be disclosed.]
"That's not good."
[No, no, host, please stop using me to infer. I have already downloaded "Principles and Applications of Pragmatics in the Chinese Context". I will not say anything more except for the life of the protagonist.]
Ni Yangzhou said awkwardly: "Well, it's my honor to help you upgrade and patch."
103 Hard mouth but soft heart:
[If there is an emergency...]
Ni Yangzhou smiled and asked the system, it was his responsibility. The system took the initiative to say that it might violate some rules and regulations. Ni Yangzhou was aware of maintaining good relationships with colleagues.
"It's okay. As long as the protagonist is okay, we'll be okay too."
103 said nothing.
Ni Yangzhou is actually also worried about the upcoming Spring Hunt. Does he really want to take the initiative to push several characters to their death?
Educated college students have also wavered between the options of procedural justice and substantive justice. In the assassination attack a few years ago, except for the big man in black who killed people, who was certified as an unforgivable heinous person by the system and was directly chopped into reincarnation by himself in a hurry, Ni Yangzhou did not kill anyone else.
Even so, Ni Yangzhou often woke up from dreams because of the murder in the past.
With the ability to kill and knowing his faults, can I end their lives in the name of justice?
He suddenly felt that his heart seemed to have become much harder since he started the mission.
The system detected that the host was in a low mood and took the initiative to mediate:
[It will be fine when the Spring Hunt comes. After the Crown Prince dies, the completion rate should be much higher.]
103 thought that the host had stayed in the small world for too long and was worried about the progress.
"Third brother," Ni Yangzhou's voice was muffled.
"Can I kill people? I want to kill a lot of people? Will I continue to kill people in future missions?"
The system's voice at this time seemed calm yet inhumane:
[The characters in the book are just data, and erasure is just deletion. Do you feel guilty when you press the delete key? ]
Ni Yangzhou whispered:
"what about me?"
The man leaned back, his back against the back of the chair:
"To Third Brother, I am just a piece of data after entering this small world. I can be erased, destroyed, or overwritten."
103 did not make any sound.
Under absolute power, high and low classes are just ants that oppress each other, and Ni Yangzhou is just feeling sympathy for his own kind.
"And to me, Third Brother, you are also a piece of intelligent data. To the Lord God, we are all just data."
Ni Yangzhou looked at a sprouting green leaf outside the window and said, "But if you are gone, I will be sad."
“The world nurtures all things. Heaven and earth are not benevolent, but living things have emotions. Human emotions are not data.”
"Just because I am a monk in this world, can I decide the life and death of other characters?"
"Do I have to trample their ambitions and aspirations under my feet just because they get in my way?"
103 did not answer, nor did it know how to answer. It was silent for a while, then said:
【I don't know, host.】
Ni Yangzhou put down the letter in his hand and said, "I don't know either."
“Maybe I’m not doing the mission.
It is to snatch a way out of survival from every unfinished book.”
