The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

"If I were the protagonist, I wouldn't be trapped in this small room for so long, unable to leave. I can only watch my lover be with someone else and be powerless to do anything." Tao Zhi said helplessly.

"At least your place can shelter you from the wind and rain. My alley is exposed to the wind and sun, and no one has been seen in eight hundred years. You should be content." Lang Bushin said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry." Tao Zhi lowered his eyes and apologized.

The two were silent for a few breaths.

"So all those excessive things you did to Dong Nan and me were because of the plot, not because... because you hate me." Lang Bushin asked.

"No, you have always been a friend I cherish."

"But I can't help but hurt you. I really can't afford the consequences of you being with Gu Dongnan."

"If Gong Cheng and Gu Dongnan can't have a happy ending, this world will disappear. The same scene has happened in front of me twice, and it must not happen a third time." Tao Zhi said.

Lang Bushin felt a sharp pain in his nose when he heard this, but he still raised his nose to pretend that he didn't care.

"So you are the hero who saves the world, but I am the stumbling block that needs to be kicked away." Lang Bushin pouted.

"I……"

Tao Zhi was interrupted by Lang Bushin before he could finish his words.

"Forget it. Things have come to this. What else can I do but accept the fact? At least I have a good reputation for sacrificing my life for the people. After all, it allows me to realize my dream of becoming a hero." Lang Bushin said.

As Lang Bushin was speaking, he seemed to remember something and suddenly made a "tsk" sound.

"But I still have to complain. Which stupid author wanted to pair Gong Cheng and Dong Nan together? Do they look suitable for each other? They look awkward no matter how you look at them."

"When we were just at the door, Gong Cheng untied Dong Nan's tie, and it made my hair stand on end. Now that you say they are an official couple, I can't get rid of my goose bumps."

"By the way, have you read this novel in real life? Or did you write it?"

"I've seen novels with the same pattern, where the reader travels into a novel he's read before, or the author travels into a novel he's failed at." Lang Bushin asked.

Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head.

"I am indeed an old bookworm, but I have always read male-oriented novels. I have never come across a novel with two male protagonists. Maybe it's just because I have the same name as the character Tao Zhi, so I was brought in." Tao Zhi said.

Lang Bushin looked confused when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something but couldn't figure it out. He was too lazy to think too much and instead turned his curiosity to the tomato in the air.

"The systems in other people's novels are so cool, there are those little loli or furry systems, why is yours a rotten tomato?" Lang Bushin asked.

"I'm not rotten." Fanfan said faintly.

"Maybe it's because the tomatoes are free." Tao Zhi said helplessly.

Lang Bushin followed Fanfan with his eyes for a long time, and suddenly grabbed Fanfan in his hand with lightning speed.

Fanfan struggled to run away, but Lang Bushin held him in place with both hands, then pinched and pulled him up and down and left and right.

"Why does it feel so chewy? I wonder if it will burst with juice like a real tomato when I bite it."

"How does it talk without a mouth? Ventriloquism?"

"How does it fly in the sky? Does it have batteries? Or is it powered by solar energy?"

"Do you think its existence can be explained by science? Is the algorithm that maintains it Java or C language? Seeing that it looks so plain and simple, it seems more likely to be Python."

As Lang Bushin said this, he was about to use his fingers to scratch Fanfan's body to see if he could find the switch for the battery. However, as soon as he exerted force, he was shocked by Fanfan and shivered. He screamed in pain and threw Fanfan away.

"It has been detected that the character Lang Bushin intends to cause physical harm to the system. Electric shock punishment measures have been taken. Please do not do it again." Fanfan said mechanically.

Fanfan escaped from Lang Bushin's hands and flew to hide behind Tao Zhi to avoid being touched by Lang Bushin again.

"I told you it has a battery, and it can still leak electricity." Lang Bushin said happily.

Lang Bushin was quite interested in Fanfan's existence and obviously did not take the punishment Fanfan just gave him seriously, so he flew up again to catch Fanfan, and Fanfan quickly ran away.

So the soul and the tomato chased each other around the room, and finally turned into a circle with Tao Zhi as the center. The red light warning sound of Fanfan and Lang Bushin's laughter made Tao Zhi's head hurt.

Tao Zhi held his forehead helplessly, grabbed Fanfan and threw him into Lang Bushin's arms.

"Let him play for a while, he won't hurt you." Tao Zhi said to Fanfan.

Fanfan: My life is like walking on thin ice.

Lang Bushin took the Fanfan and rubbed it for a while with a grin on his face, looking very surprised.

Lang Bushin: A tomato that can’t be broken by squeezing. Hehe.

"Speaking of which, I have been wanting to ask since just now, why can Lang Bushin fly?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Host...you can also...fly." Fanfan's voice was interrupted by Lang Bushin.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this.

So three minutes later, Lang Bushin was happily playing with tomatoes, and Tao Zhi was happily flying around the room.

This kind of joy lasted for about fifteen minutes. After the excitement subsided, Tao Zhi and Lang Bushin sat cross-legged on the bed facing each other.

"So you've tortured both of us to death. What should we do now?" Lang Bushin asked.

"wait."

"When they decide to spend their lives together." Tao Zhi replied.

"You can really save the world just by lying on the bed." Lang Bushin curled his lips.

"Yeah." Tao Zhi replied.

"If we follow the script, how long will the story last?" Lang Bushin asked.

"Three months." Tao Zhi replied.

Upon hearing this, Lang Bushin raised his head, looked at the ceiling in silence for a few breaths, and his expression became serious for a rare time.

"Three months."

"enough."

After saying this, Lang Bushin jumped up from the bed and was about to fly out the door.

"Where are you going?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Of course, I'm wasting the three months of drifting that I bought with my life."

There were tears in Lang Bushin's eyes, but his smile was extremely bright. After he finished speaking, he walked out the door and went straight to Gu Dongnan.

Tao Zhi watched Lang Bushin fly away and fell into deep thought.

"Fanfan, why can he move freely in the waiting room?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Because this is not his waiting room, it's just an ordinary room to him," Fanfan explained.

"But he left his waiting room," Tao Zhi said.

"The host's waiting room has a 'door', so the host's movements are restricted. The purpose of the closed waiting room is to minimize the host's negative impact on the plot."

"The system recommends that the host not consider the possibility of leaving the waiting room, so as to avoid mission errors." Fanfan said.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhi lowered his head in disappointment and simply lay down. His eyes fell on the spider brother who was happily eating the moth, and he did not continue to ask some meaningless questions.
