Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius - Chapter 258 - 237: Revising the Main Storyline
Chapter 258: Chapter 237: Revising the Main Storyline
This book is very thick, and Ji Xizhi had already read its contents.
On the first day she crossed into this world, she already knew about this book.
The entire story revolves around the love story between the female protagonist Zhong Yulu and the male protagonist Ji Fengyuan, and she is the supporting female character in the book.
The pages of the book kept flipping in front of Ji Xizhi, eventually stopping at the supporting character’s ending, as if something was manipulating it from behind the scenes.
The supporting character, after experiencing a series of cyberbullying which destroyed her mental defense, directly committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
Looking at this part, Ji Xizhi didn’t feel any emotional disturbance.
For her, this plot wouldn’t happen anymore.
The book seemed to sense Ji Xizhi’s emotions and suddenly typed out a line above the supporting character’s ending.
“You have violated the original plot, wantonly altered character settings, and you will become a criminal in history, paying the price with your life…”
Red correction letters began to appear one by one, trying to press down on Ji Xizhi.
But before all the words could spring out from the book.
Ji Xizhi spoke up voluntarily, “Is that so? So are you planning to kill me?”
The book paused for a moment, then continued, “That was the ending you were supposed to have! You’re the supporting character, your mission is to be the stepping stone for the male and female protagonists’ perfect life!”
“Everyone is equal before the law, no one has privileges above it.” Ji Xizhi calmly refuted the unreasonable and illegal statements in the book, saying, “What you said about the protagonist or the supporting character makes no sense. In a society governed by law, citizens’ personal freedom is inviolable. No one should be anyone, and no one should have a particular mission. My mission is mine alone.”
After Ji Xizhi finished this sentence.
The text above the book abruptly ceased.
Ji Xizhi waited for a long while until the red text reappeared on the book.
“As long as you complete the supporting character’s mission, I can send you back to your original world.”
Ji Xizhi: “No need.”
First, she could never follow the plot in the book.
Second, she also didn’t believe such a good thing would fall from the sky.
Moreover, if the system could send her back, why wait until now?
Ji Xizhi was logical, not tempted by the book’s allure. She refused decisively, not giving any room for negotiation.
Seeing that Ji Xizhi was unmoved, the color of the font began to darken:
“If you don’t follow the original plot anymore, when the main storyline collapses, everything you’ve gained now will no longer exist! I advise you to follow the plot sooner!”
Seduction didn’t work, so it could only threaten to take away everything Ji Xizhi had.
After listening, Ji Xizhi unusually didn’t refute, but it wasn’t because she was threatened by the book’s words. Instead, she had another idea.
Ji Xizhi pondered for a moment, then proposed a compromise.
Ji Xizhi said, “How about this, instead of correcting me, correct the main storyline. If you want me to leave, just correct all the illegal plots so the whole book is legal, compliant, positive, and can pass review. Then I can follow the plot and leave.”
Book: “…”
Why is talking to a law student so! Annoying!!!
It’s just a book, but it felt “suffocated.”
The book braced itself to continue the threat: “I advise you not to be ungrateful.”
Ji Xizhi replied simply, “I advise you not to waste time.”
Book: “……”
Ji Xizhi actively turned the pages of the book, immediately pointing out illegal actions in the book coupled with corresponding penalty cases and correction suggestions, fervently explaining them to the book.
She has a good memory and knows many related cases, capable of continuous non-repetitive talk for hours.
Plus, with volumes of legal codes being so thick, she could at least go on for a month without sleep or rest without repeating herself.
Ji Xizhi earnestly spread the law.
Book: “…………” Let it be destroyed!
The text on the book’s surface had completely stopped moving, even starting to fade.
A dream soon turned into a professional legal knowledge lecture convention.
Ji Xizhi reviewed the knowledge in her mind throughout the night in the dream, feeling that all her mental knowledge was further fortified, her mental state much better, and she had new ideas about revisiting old knowledge.
Ji Xizhi dreamed while in bed.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yulu, sleeping on a makeshift bed at the bedside, also dreamed all night, with a book appearing in her mind.
The book included everyone present now. She is the protagonist, and Ji Xizhi is the supporting character. Following the book’s storyline, Ji Xizhi should have long jumped into the sea for suicide.
But now the development in reality was entirely different from in the book.
The book was telling her that she and Ji Fengyuan were a match made in heaven, that she would become a top actress, a leading figure in the entertainment circle, marry into the Ji Family, become a desirable wealthy toddler wife, get to play any role she wants, with billions of fans; everything was beautiful, yet the biggest obstacle now was Ji Xizhi.
Only if Ji Xizhi was gone, she could own all these.
Zhong Yulu looked at the dazzling future projected in the book, all the things she wanted, all the things that should belong to her.
But these…should they really be obtained at the expense of a person’s life?
Zhong Yulu hated Ji Xizhi and also wished for Ji Xizhi’s ultimate downfall in the entertainment world, but she never intended for Ji Xizhi to die.
This involves criminal law matters; she didn’t dare, especially as it relates to Ji Xizhi.
Zhong Yulu struggled internally the entire night, her mental state was extremely poor, her dark circles had become more pronounced.
But it seemed like nobody noticed.
Because everyone except Ji Xizhi had dark circles.
Early the next day, or rather, it should be said at dawn.
At 4 o’clock, the program group’s eerie loudspeaker started blaring.
“Today’s supermarket special offer, item: Shell Moonlight Exquisite Crystal Lamp, limited-time sale, one yuan, only one yuan, first come first served!”
The piercing noise echoed throughout the living room and at the doors.
Director Wang, after waking up the male guests sleeping in the living room, also worried that the female guests in the room couldn’t hear clearly, specially pointed the speaker at the door gap and yelled again.
The program group’s live broadcast had already attracted some viewers, who either accidentally clicked in without sleep or had just woken up, and got a fright.
[? Why so early today? Did Uncle Wang advance under Uncle Xu’s tutelage?]
[The noise nearly sent me off; I’ve kept the live stream on all along, and my ears went deaf for three seconds. Program group, be human!]
[Impossible to be human now, the show group only has dogs left! (Shar-Pei Dog Smile.jpg)]
Ji Xizhi was the first to open her eyes; she didn’t waste a second getting up, moving quickly, and was about to turn on the light when You Yingmeng beside her woke up.
You Yingmeng also woke up quickly, seeing Ji Xizhi sleeping inside, knowing it was inconvenient for her to turn on the light, she voluntarily got up and said, “Let me do it.”
The sudden light stung the eyes of several guests a bit.
Le Qiqi groggily flipped her phone, then violently shoved it back onto the bedside table.
The other guests, lacking Le Qiqi’s courage, all rose in varying speeds to prepare for the activity.
When the female guests had mostly gotten up, only Le Qiqi remained in bed.
Sheng Yaoyao called to her for ages, but Le Qiqi showed no reaction, even covering her head with the quilt, pretending not to hear.
In the end, Sheng Yaoyao ran out of options and had to ask for Ji Xizhi’s help.
