I Persuade People With Reason

"you are not willing?"

The others were greatly puzzled, and Bai Ze Ze even blurted out.

Seemingly aware of his gaffe, he quickly added: "You probably misunderstood what we meant, we are not shirk the responsibility, and ask you to stand up alone and become the savior-"

"This is just a tactic of the Special Affairs Bureau to temporarily appease people's hearts."

"If we directly announce to the outside world, the Special Affairs Bureau will protect everyone, so that you don't worry? Because of the lessons learned by the Aran Alliance and the Stewart Empire, they may not believe it, maybe they just think this is empty talk."

Bai Ze tried to explain further and persuaded Yuan not to act.

"But you are different. You are widely known, and most of the people have a certain favorable opinion of you. During this period of time, when you emptied missions everywhere, you saved a lot of people. Everyone knows? The ability to manifest into reality to shelter ordinary people - this? This is in line with their perception of the savior."

Yuan Buwei took over his words: "So, as long as I respond according to the online statement and let everyone know that, even if there is a mutation in the future, they are not so dangerous, and can calm the panic of most people? "

"Yes." Others also joined in, you said one word at another, "Is there really an abnormal event, or as before, we don't push all the responsibilities that we should take on. To you. It's just that the situation is special now. Many people have been stimulated by the tragic situation of the two countries, which has affected the stability of the social order. Compared with us strangers, you have established familiarity in most people's hearts. And trust, we need you as a flag to soothe panic and restless hearts."

Seeing that Yuan Buwei did not show any resistance, instead he always listened quietly, Bai Ze Ze felt hopeful, so he bowed to him like a joke: "So, as the image chosen by the special affairs bureau unanimously Spokesperson, please make your debut as C? Become the savior!"

It seems like a joke, but his eyes are very sincere, and Director Chu and others are also waiting for the answer from Yuan Wu.

...? ? ? Is this the rhythm of another book? It's called #In order to save the world, I decided to debut as C?#? For a moment, the strange book title floated through Yuan Buwei's mind, he coughed lightly and shook his head slightly.

"I understand what you mean? Or forgive me for refusing."

Without waiting for the others to react, he asked first: "According to what you said, even if it temporarily appeases people's hearts? If there is a change of the same scale as the Stewart Empire in Tianxia, ​​can the Special Affairs Bureau deal with it?"

...And? When it comes to that, what will happen to those who have only been injected with a placebo and who have never had a savior?

——Won't choose to ignore the fact that he has the ability to act as a real savior. Rescue believers like an omnipotent god, a person who decides the future of everyone is not what he wants.

As the question of Yuan Buwei was spoken word by word, the atmosphere around him stagnated, and everyone fell silent. Yuan Buwei could vaguely see a bit of helplessness from their expressions, and a little hidden deep despair.

Director Chu took a deep breath: "Anyway, at least until the final doomsday comes, we must maintain order as much as possible and ensure the stability of most people. Instead of collapsing now, self-destruction will lead to a dead end."

...not disintegrating because of weirdness, but because human beings themselves destroyed themselves, that would be too sad.

For a while, everyone was sighing endlessly, and the helplessness and exhaustion that accumulated in their hearts poured out together. These existences, who can be regarded as big figures in Tianxia, ​​inevitably gave birth to an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. .

Yuan Buwei said suddenly: "What if I said...I have a way to maintain order and shelter most people?"

His voice was not loud, and his tone was more natural as if he was discussing today's weather, but it sounded like thunder in other people's ears. Even though they knew there was little hope, everyone couldn't help but look at him with bright eyes.

"You mean..."

"I have to mention the Wenhao system. After some cordial conversations, it has been successfully persuaded by me, and I am willing to change its image and re-employ according to my ideas..."

There were so many keywords revealed in the words that were not meant to be understated, so that everyone didn't react at first, but when they finally figured out their thoughts, they couldn't help showing a horrified expression: "Wait. Wait—let’s talk??!!” Shouldn’t the sealed objects be all dead objects? How to talk heart??

At this moment, an incomparable horror attacked them.

I didn't stop for a while, but with a constant expression, I suddenly said: "Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the Wenhao system is the only weirdness in this world that only has intelligence."

"???" Everyone was full of question marks. I don't know for a while? Should I be shocked by the weirdness of the Wenhao system, or be horrified by the fact that it has intelligence, or because I know the truth and dare to talk to the weird? of incomprehension and admiration.

How could a monster with intelligence act so peacefully? Let them be driven, what kind of conspiracy is there... A deep sense of crisis has surfaced in everyone's minds, even if they originally placed great hopes on the Wenhao system Director Chu, who was also in charge, stopped trying to take advantage of it, and instead began to think quickly about how to limit it.

The original did not see what they were thinking, and continued: "Don't worry? After some friendly exchanges, I have successfully reached a consensus with it. The so-called system is just its disguise, and it itself is a distorted rule. , the core of the rule? is to bring the illusory power of fiction into reality—anyone’s fiction can.”

"... After my persuasion, the Wenhao system has agreed to abandon the original one-to-one mode of binding one host, and instead bind more hosts one-to-many."

Others vaguely understand what? Bai Ze said tentatively: "You mean that more writers can be bound to the literary system, and their readers can also draw strength from their novels?"

Yuan Buwei nodded lightly and smiled: "Well, that's why I said that the Wenhao system is about to re-employ and transfer from the system to a newly opened novel website."

"Every author who signs an agreement with this website is equivalent to becoming the host of the literary system."

When he was summoned to the special affairs bureau, Fang Luo was still at a loss and didn't understand what happened.

Not long ago, with the help of a group of evil ghosts and investigators, he wiped out all the spiritual monsters in the dream space and rescued the entire Tianze City.

This? It really made him tired.

After all, he was originally a human, not a real artifact, and there were limitations in both hardware configuration and thinking mode.

And the dream space that covers the entire Tianze City is too big, he has to take into account all aspects, and always receive information from the entire dream space and countless people. This? It is simply using the human brain as a computer. It is fortunate that there is no CPU overheating and overloading, and the head explodes on the spot!

...Fortunately, he wisely passed most of the tasks to other evil spirits according to the boss's instructions, and his clever brain was preserved intact :)

Thinking of this, he couldn't help reaching out his hand, and patted his own intact head in fear.

Then, he saw the big man who summoned him gave him a kind smile: "Xiao Fang, I have an important task of saving the world for you."

"...?"

Boss, why do you want to talk like Director Chu? No, boss, you are so gentle all of a sudden, I'm a little panicked... Fang Luo is like a cat that is about to be ruthless, all the hairs on his body stand up instantly? , showing an alert look?

I was not surprised to find that this tool ghost seems to be a lot smarter. Could it be that it has been stabbed too many times, and spiritual intuition has begun to warn?

He reassured, "Don't worry, this task is not dangerous, it requires long-term and dedicated investment..."

Hearing what Yuan didn't say, Fang Luo's eyebrows jumped, and the hand he had just put down raised again, almost reflexively touching his forehead.

No, I'm already a dead ghost, don't be afraid of the risk of baldness... Fang Luo instantly showed an expression of reassurance, half-raised his hand changed direction in the middle, raised his hand obediently and asked, "Then... What should I do? ?"

"It's very simple, the Special Affairs Bureau is about to launch a special novel website, and we need to borrow your site..."

My territory? Fang Luo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was referring to the dream space. He was surprised at first, but then he was extremely surprised and curious: "To launch a novel website in the dream space, this is to allow readers to read novels in their dreams, and let them read novels in their dreams. Does the author sleepwalk and write fiction?"

It was not because the curvature of his lips was slightly raised, he added the unfinished second half of the sentence: "...and a group of diligent and conscientious people, no, ghost hands. After all, a newly opened novel website needs to be managed. Staff, too, need authors, which makes sense."

Fang Luo nodded blankly: "It sounds reasonable."

...But, with the demon as the staff member and author, is it me or you who has the problem?

He couldn't help but look around, but found that except for one person and one ghost, the other members of the special affairs bureau all had such a normal expression, which made Fang Luo begin to doubt... With such a deep "generation gap"?

"Okay." Accepting the reality that he might have a problem, Fang Luo had no choice but to say, "I have no problem here, but not all those evil ghosts are willing to listen to me."

Then, he saw Yuan Buwei showing a naughty smile again: "It doesn't matter, let me talk to them."

Fang Luo sacrificed the altar of laziness, and after replenishing enough energy with the sacrifices prepared by the special affairs bureau in advance, he controlled the scope of the dream in the room where everyone was. Soon, everyone fell asleep together, and the consciousness came into the dream.

As a "tool spirit" with half of the control, Fang Luo stood on the spot, and an invisible breeze appeared out of thin air, blowing across the entire dream space in an instant, passing the summoning message to every evil ghost. ear.

"I haven't counted it, but it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of evil spirits contained in the dream. Eighty percent of them have been re-dyed, er, that is, they have regained their human emotions. Out of gratitude, it seems that they are gathered here. Such trivial matters, they will still agree." While doing so, he explained to the crowd, "There are still 20% of the evil spirits left in the deeper part of the dream space, where the emotional thoughts are more intense, and they will be dyed... …”

Yuan Buwei nodded thoughtfully: "There are tens of thousands of unemployed homeless people who have nothing to do. We are helping them provide jobs for free."

"Besides, compared to living people, ghosts and evil spirits don't need to eat, drink, or sleep, and can write twenty-four hours a day. They are evil ghosts themselves, and they must be happy to write novels such as supernatural beings. Hands, more attractive to readers, and more in line with the requirements. It’s really not good, they can still use themselves as writing material…”

After all, according to the Wenhao system, things in the novel have to follow a certain logic if they are to be manifested. Things that are too powerful, not to mention how much prestige is required, the Wenhao system may not necessarily be able to manifest.

For example, it is absolutely impossible to summon a **** who is omniscient and omnipotent.

And the evil ghosts who have experienced many supernatural events themselves must write stories that are more in line with the rules of this world than the pure fantasy of ordinary people, and are easier to manifest.

Listening to the first half of his words, the others were still dumbfounded, but when they heard the back, they couldn't help but nod their heads frequently.

...Yeah, a ghost who can code words in a small dark house without eating or drinking and can use himself as a material is simply too much in line with the requirements of this novel website! This? Can the world find more diligent and more suitable writers?

Many people's eyes couldn't help but drift to Fang Luo, seeing him shivering, always worried that he would be locked in the small dark room the next moment and would not be able to come out without writing a word. As soon as I imagined that scene, Fang Luo, who had failed in Chinese composition since childhood, just wanted to shrink into a ball.

He quickly changed the subject: "I probably know what are you going to do, boss, emmm? In this way, the unemployed ghost has a job, so wouldn't the living writers be affected and lose their jobs?"

"A living person can also sign a contract." He said without any hesitation, "Ghosts and evil spirits code words in the dream space all day long, and living people can go online at night in their dreams. numbers."

Fang Luo: "???"

"All day, all day without a break?" He shuddered again, and thought to himself, "...It's okay, it's okay, I should be considered a staff member?"

The only evil spirit was in a complicated mood, and the eyes of the living people present were getting brighter and brighter. When countless ghosts roared from all directions, they saw everyone looking at them in unison. It's like looking at countless gold mines.

Under such gazes, the evil spirits couldn't help but take a step back and were inexplicably frightened.

It was not to take a step forward.

——The next step is the friendly and friendly negotiation between people and ghosts, as well as the relaxed and happy process of "conquering ghosts with reason".

·

Three days later, when the public opinion storm on the Internet became more and more violent, the Secret Service Bureau, which had been silent for a long time, finally issued an announcement.

Rather than an announcement, this is more like an advertisement for a novel website - this announcement explains the origin of the "Dreamland Book City" and the benefits it can bring to everyone.

Unlike general novel websites, Dreamland Bookstore is built in a dreamland, and it is not possible to log in all the time.

Its unified login time point is 0:00 in the morning.

At this time every day, the altar of sloth will pour out white fog, quickly covering every corner of the world, pulling everyone's consciousness into the dream space.

——Of course, this consumes a lot of energy, and the sacrifices required are not only borne by the Special Affairs Bureau, but also by everyone in the world.

The Dream Book City incarnated by the Wen Hao system is set up in the dream space, and the consciousness can only be logged in after entering the dream.

Writers can code words online, and readers can read online. Since human emotional energy can be intuitively detected in the dream space, the readers’ love for different works during the reading process can be converted into numerical values ​​by the dream space, which are displayed on their pages. in personal account.

According to the division standard stipulated by the Special Affairs Bureau, the favorite value generated by readers when they read the book is divided with the author of the novel, part of which belongs to them, and part of it becomes the author's prestige value. When encountering danger, both readers and writers can use the former Wenhao system and the website of the present dream to manifest it as power.

After describing the role of Dreamland Book City in detail, below this announcement, it is also openly recruiting writers from all over the world who are willing to sign contracts, which made everyone stunned for a while.

——Yes, not only Tianxia, ​​but the whole world.

[Ah, this, Dreamland Book City, readers can borrow power from novels they really like, and authors whose novels are truly welcomed can also draw power from it... What kind of fantasy setting is this! Am I dreaming? ]

[So, we don't have to worry about it in the future? One day we will die on the road? ]

[Not necessarily, it can only be said that most of the dangers can be avoided. But there are some very strange, unpredictable mutations such as curses, and it is estimated that people will still die. ]

[This is good enough. Think about the experience before the Stewart Empire, and that's enough for me. And who knows? Will it get better in the future? ]

[If I'm not mistaken, Yuanxia used a similar method before, right? Now it's not just him, other authors can do it as long as they sign up. This? Could it be that Yuanxia is behind the scenes? ]

[I have a friend who works in the Special Affairs Bureau. According to internal sources, this was promoted by Yuan Xia! ]

[How can you still play like this? I declare that from now on, the whole world will enter an extraordinary era, and our little geniuses have created two extraordinary professions, "author" and "reader"! ]

[No no no, this sounds frustrating, I refuse. It should be called "Dream Weaver" and "Dream Reader". The former weaves stories and creates extraordinary power in the stories; the latter reads stories and, with their love for stories, makes the illusory become detached, and the extraordinary turns into reality. ]

[This statement has a million points of romance, I like it. ]

At this time, the atmosphere in the special affairs bureau was warm.

All had expectant smiles on their faces.

"I really want to thank you this time, our special investigator." Even the always serious Director Chu couldn't help laughing. He looked at Yuan Buwei and said in a relaxed tone, "What do you mean? The contribution made is difficult to measure with a simple contribution value, and I can't measure it with only the contribution value - in short, from now on, as long as it does not violate the justice of human beings, you have any requirements, the special affairs bureau. will do their best to satisfy them.”

The eyes of other people also turned to Yuan Bubei.

Originally, I could not hide the excitement, joy, and gratitude in their eyes.

He pretended to be silent for two seconds, and his expression looked like he might come up with an idea that would make everyone crazy and bald at any time.

After a while, under the nervous gaze of others, he suddenly blinked his eyes briskly:

"I just want to be able to fish freely in the future, and it will be even more perfect to have a small cake that can be supplied unlimited every day."

You can't imagine the joy of fishing! Especially when other tool people/ghosts are coding frantically and almost bald, the joy is super doubled :)

The crowd couldn't help laughing, and surrounded him as they walked out.

The clear voice of the young man floated faintly in the wind:

"Well, forgot to say, it's ten times sweeter."
