Ten thousand people suspect that cannon fodder does not want to save themselves

"Ding—congratulations to the host for unlocking the new mission!"

The system suddenly straightened its body and jumped for a while, and its voice was directly octave higher. That cheeky face showed a professional smirk in an extremely awkward way, and even the tone became very businesslike.

Shen Rongci was taken aback by him: "What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's okay." After saying the last sentence, the system immediately returned to its original state, "The notification sound for new tasks is like this, just get used to it."

Shen Rongci recalled the strange appearance of the system just now, which looked like an epileptic seizure, and he refused in his heart: "What if it is seen by others?"

"Don't worry, this notification tone has been set, and it can only pop out when only the host is present."

The system waved his hand, apparently not wanting to discuss with him further about the "prompt sound" related content, and directly read the task information:

"The host must bring back the dagger that assassinated the male lead within ten days, otherwise he will be punished with shame."

After finishing speaking, the system looked at Shen Rongci and sighed, as if to say: Look, I made you careless, is something wrong?

Looking at the system, Shen Rongci knew that this guy had forgotten who Gu Chiyuan took the dagger from.

He didn't want the system to blame himself, so he didn't remind him.What's more, it has become an established fact that the dagger was taken away by Gu Chiyuan, and now is not the time to pursue responsibility.

Regarding the task content issued by the system, he asked, "Are there any restrictions on how to get it back?"

"No, it doesn't matter if you cheat, steal or rob, as long as you get it back within ten days."

"Will this dagger affect the main plot? As far as I know, according to the direction of the original story, the original owner stabbed Gu Chiyuan and then threw the dagger at will, which seems to be fine."

The system clicked its chin, and said "huh":

"This task was actually issued by the system host according to special calculations. The purpose is to maintain the balance of the world and prevent the plot from getting too derailed. Like you just now, there was no plot of the queen coming to Luanzhutai in the original work, but because of the arrival of the host, it instigated The wings of the butterfly cause the development of the plot to be different from the original, so it is very likely that the dagger is placed with the hero, which will also affect the direction of the plot in the future.

"But not all changes need to be corrected, because some changes will not affect the final direction of the ending, and only the direction that will have a decisive impact on the plot will be issued for correction. Do you understand?"

"You mean, these missions are released so that the general direction of the plot will not go astray?" Shen Rongci summed it up with his own understanding.

"It's almost the same meaning. Sometimes missions are released to prevent deviations, and sometimes to reverse the plot that has deviated... This is indeed a very imaginary thing. Sometimes I can't understand the requirements of some missions, but it is true The tasks released have a certain reason, and they are related to every choice of the host.

"Auxiliary props like "White Moonlight Treasure" will affect the content released by the system host through its own plot, and list more feasible plot trends for the host, and it is definitely much lower than the original plot. many."

Shen Rongci nodded.This is very similar to that kind of role-playing choice game, every choice of the player may lead to a different final ending.

Moreover, he also realized one thing: in many cases, it is not necessary to strictly follow the direction of the original work. On the premise of not affecting the general direction of the plot, a slight deviation is not a big problem.

"Then... what is shame punishment?"

This is what Shen Rongci is more concerned about.After all, the severity of the punishment can directly affect whether he takes this task seriously.

If the punishment is insignificant, he will touch fish, after all, he doesn't really want to have too much interaction with the male lead; if the punishment is not acceptable...

The system said: "As the name suggests, it is a punishment measure that will make the host feel ashamed and die."

"E.g?"

Shen Rongci had a bad feeling.

"I won't know the specifics until the task fails, but this kind of thing is easy to guess. Since the host is the cannon fodder that opposes the hero, the content of the punishment must be related to the hero. It’s also possible that the dog ate the mud, or worse, the pants suddenly fell off during the harsh words.”

Shen Rongci: Do you dare to make the content of this punishment a little more malicious?

Seeing Shen Rongci's ugly face, the system also showed sympathy: "General punishment measures are mild electric shocks, shame punishment is already considered a very insulting category, and it rarely appears to a novice like you. body. Uh... don't worry, the task is limited to ten days, which is already considered ample, and I will definitely do my best to help you."

"Thank you."

Shen Rongci regretted that he didn't directly ask the system for the loss of the dagger.If the blame is thrown to the system, will the punishment be a little gentler?

-

The Guozijian opened at Chenshi, and Shen Rongci was dragged from the bed by the system to wash up before the hour.

Concubine Jin had already prepared breakfast for him, fearing that he would be hungry later, she prepared another box of pastries and put them on the bottom shelf of the bookcase.Since it was the first time for Shen Rongci to go back to school, she also gave a lot of instructions, even explaining which veil was used to wipe her face and which veil was used to wipe her hands.

"Do you want my aunt to order you two more? Although you are used to Naidong, there is only one person in the end, and many things cannot be taken care of. Auntie is not at ease..."

Shen Rongci declined Concubine Jin's kindness politely.Only he and the system can occasionally whisper to each other. If there are more people around, it will be inconvenient to discuss tasks or plots.

This is also the shortcoming of the materialization of the system. Like the protagonists of other system stories, they can't chat with the system in their minds anytime, anywhere, and even the release of tasks may be delayed because of this.

Concubine Jin thought he was afraid of life, so she didn't insist.He only told Shen Rongci repeatedly that if something happened, he must send someone to inform her.

It was late in winter, and when Shen Rongci went out, the sky was still gray, and the palace people held up lamps in front of him to guide the way.The one who sent him to the Guozijian was still the small warm sedan chair from yesterday, but the two palace servants who carried the sedan chair were replaced by new faces.

Shen Rongci was a little strange, and asked one of the sedan chair bearers, "Where were the two palace men yesterday?"

"Reporting to Mr. Shen, one of them is not feeling well and asked for leave because he was afraid of offending the nobleman. The other...don't know."

Shen Rongci nodded to show that he understood, and he just asked casually because he thought it was strange, and didn't take this matter to heart.

Unexpectedly, it was said by the system.

As soon as he got on the sedan chair, the system squeezed in, and his face was filled with the words "worshipful words": "Master, you are hated by everyone now, you can't do this kind of behavior to be close to servants again. Go on your own." Look outside, how can the villain cannon fodder care about the physical condition of the servant?"

Hearing what he said, Shen Rongci felt that it made sense.I swore yesterday that I would maintain the character design that everyone hates. Since I want to make a show, I have to do it comprehensively. I need to know that in the palace where rumors are everywhere, controlling public opinion is also very important.

The word-of-mouth that everyone hates has to be well established.

I guess I woke up too early and my mind was a little confused, but fortunately the system woke up.

Shen Rongci nodded. Just as he was about to thank the system for reminding him, he turned his head around when he heard the conversation, put away his serious expression, and said with a smile:

"So, host, you are actually not suitable to be the object of thousands of people, why don't you take my book? Besides, you told me yesterday, as long as I take the male host out of the small dark room for you. If you carry it out, you agree to take the Bai Yueguang character design, you can't go back on your word!"

As he said that, he wanted to push the "Precious Book" conjured up from nowhere into Shen Rongci's hands.

"I didn't agree, I just said it can be considered." Shen Rongci was ashamed, he should have guessed that this simple system would not easily give up any opportunity to promote the "Book".

"But……"

The system wanted to argue with reason, but the sedan chair suddenly shook and then fell forward.

The moment the sedan chair hit the ground, the system lost its balance and rolled out, and fell to the ground with an "ouch" sound; while Shen Rongci grabbed the window sill in panic, but luckily he didn't fall too hard.

Immediately outside the sedan chair came the panicked confession of the people in the palace carrying the sedan chair, but it didn't seem to be addressed to Shen Rongci:

"Second Prince, spare your life, Second Prince, spare your life... The slave did not intend to collide, Second Prince, please forgive me!"

Second prince?

Shen Rongci frowned, why did he meet this person again?

He looked out through the lifted corner of the car curtain, and could only see the system's feet.The system seemed to have seen someone, and quickly got up from the ground and saluted.

The second prince's voice came to mind through the curtain: "Brother Shen, is he okay? Did he fall?"

Before Shen Rongci could respond, the curtain was lifted from the outside.

The second prince's beautiful face was revealed from behind the curtain, and he showed a warm smile to Shen Rongci.

"I think it was because of me that the palace man carrying the sedan chair for Brother Shen didn't fall down and hit Brother Shen's sedan chair in order to avoid it. Fortunately, Brother Shen seems to be safe and sound, otherwise I would have blamed myself .”

Shen Rongci lowered his head to avoid his gaze, because he didn't expect the other party to come directly to lift the curtain, Shen Rongci, who was not mentally prepared, stumbled a little: "I, I'm fine."

He looked behind the second prince, and saw that the two palace servants carrying the sedan chair were kneeling in the snow with their heads buried on the ground. They were shaking from the cold or fear.

At this time, the inner officer behind the second prince spoke in an extremely bitter and mean tone: "Shizi Shen really has no rules. His servants bumped into the second prince. Instead of apologizing, he also sat in the sedan chair and refused to come out. How decent is that?" ?”

"That's enough, you step back." The second prince repelled the internal official softly, seeming a little displeased.

However, the displeasure on his face dissipated in an instant when he met Shen Rongci, and he said gently: "Brother Shen, is he frightened? But these two palace servants failed to do their duty well and let the master suffer." If you are frightened, you should be punished. If brother Shen can trust me, I will send these two off for you, how about it?"

The two palace servants who were kneeling on the ground trembled even more when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say another word.

The second prince is the eldest son of the empress, and if there is no accident, he will be the future prince, so he can't be easily offended.

What's more, the system is right. In order to maintain the character design that everyone hates, the evaluation of the palace people is also very important.If he is too kind to the palace people, no one will believe that he is a "bad guy".

Shen Rongci restrained his expression, lowered his eyes and said: "What the second prince said is true."

The second prince smiled: "Then..."

"However," Shen Rongci's voice interrupted the Second Prince's voice abruptly.

"These two palace servants are from Luanzhutai, so I don't need to trouble the second prince, Yuezu, to do it for me. I will bring them back to Luanzhutai by myself."
