I Persuade People With Reason

In the middle of the night, Zhang Yue woke up in a dream.

It sounds strange, but it's true. As he became conscious, he opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and saw the familiar room before falling asleep.

A thin layer of mist drifted in from the window, smearing the dim light into a hazy color.

The clothes hanging on the hanger seemed to be supported by an invisible arm, and flew up automatically. When he came to him, Zhang Yue skillfully put on his clothes, got up and got out of bed.

"This kind of thing, no matter how many times I go through it, it still feels very novel." Muttering like this, he walked to the window, pushed open the glass, and saw a familiar street, a familiar neighborhood, and a building A familiar building.

It's just that compared to the daytime, compared to reality, it's all shrouded in a mysterious fog.

This is the projection of the real world in the dream.

At this time, Zhang Yue seemed to be one of the residents of this dream world.

As Zhang Yue's eyes swept over, he vaguely saw that the houses in the fog were beginning to light up, and some people also opened their windows to look here.

When Zhang Yue thought about it, there was fog in the room, and a cup of steaming coffee suddenly appeared in his palm. He leaned against the window sill, lowered his head and took a sip, leisurely admiring the night view outside.

"...Such a posture, such an action, ahem, full marks for handsomeness?!"

Just when he was intoxicated, an emotionless voice suddenly sounded in his ears: [It is detected that your dream essence is less than 100 points, please recharge as soon as possible. ]

This voice was like an evil devil, awakening the intoxicated Zhang Yue from his sweet dream, his face twisted, and the coffee almost spit out: "Don't mention these, everything in the dream is still It's perfect!"

"Everything needs money, this is the biggest shortcoming of the dream world - no, if it really only needs money, I'm a krypton gold player! But Mengyuan can't be exchanged with real money, if there is a complaint Message board, I must strongly recommend opening a recharge channel for a limited time!" A series of complaints popped up in his heart, and Zhang Yue summoned a transparent personal panel.

The content on this panel is very simple. In addition to his personal ID, there are only two lines of data, one for reading coins and one for Mengyuan.

In the short time from the system prompt to Zhang Yue's opening of the panel, Mengyuan's number has risen from 99 to 102.

In this way, the emotional energy generated by my long period of complaining and intense psychological activities is worth three dream yuan... Zhang Yue couldn't help but complain again, and saw the number after Mengyuan again. It went up by a few tenths, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but froze slightly.

Why do I feel like I'm living more and more like a Tucao slave... No, it's all to blame for this weird dream origin birth mechanism (—— Everyone's intense emotional ups and downs in the dream world will be turned into energy by the dream world. Absorbed, and the feedback to everyone is the dream yuan points-) Gone is my cold and handsome image... Right? It's all the fault of the dream system!

This strong thought just came into being, and seeing the dream value that suddenly rose to 110 points, Zhang Yue's appearance and heart finally fell into silence: "..."

... At this moment, he didn't know whether he should be happy for having so many Meng Yuan all of a sudden, or he was sad that he had completely embarked on the road of complaining and never returned.

"Ha, the guy who set this system mechanism must be a skilled user of 007 skills in reality." After a moment of silence, Zhang Yue, who had completely given up, muttered, "...Just squeezing the author can't satisfy him? Is it, even readers who enter the dream have to smash it anytime, anywhere?"

Tucao returns to Tucao, Zhang Yue actually knows that the composition of the entire dream world is based on the subconscious of all living beings? Every collection of emotional energy is helping the world to become more stable. And the dream yuan that is fed back to them accordingly is the virtual currency of this world.

For example, the clothes flew up automatically just now, the coffee suddenly appeared, etc., all of which were realized by Zhang Yue consuming the dream energy in a single thought. In the dream world, he can manifest anything he can foolishly imagine. As long as there are enough dream yuan.

Although it was not the first day that he landed in the dreamland, Zhang Yue still felt that everything was amazing.

Although there are no entertainment activities such as games and movies, I can freely create all kinds of interesting things in the room, how to eat snacks without worrying about physical problems? I can go to any stupid place in a single thought... All of these add up, and it's interesting enough.

——The only thing that can't be done is to enter other people's houses without the permission of the owner, which is everyone's safe area in the dream world, and people who are not invited cannot enter.

Habitually, he complained about the heartless capitalists hiding behind this monetary system, and then Zhang Yue walked back to the bedside and sat in front of the computer that suddenly appeared.

"...Forget it, let's do business first."

There is no need to turn on the computer, the computer screen will light up on its own, the interface is clean and tidy, there is no other software, only an icon of Dreamland Book City.

——Yes, the so-called serious business is reading novels.

In the past, this was definitely something to be scolded by teachers and parents as not doing a good job, but now, the first thing everyone does after entering the dream world is to log in to the dream book city to read novels.

In this process, the love for the characters in a certain book, the love for the plot, and even the admiration for the author himself... All positive emotions will be absorbed by Dreamland Book City and converted into specific values.

Part of it is converted into reading currency on the reader's account, and part of it is converted into the reputation value corresponding to the author's background.

This is the key to their power in reality. The more reading coins/reputation points, the safer they are. Because no one knows whether they will encounter danger one day, this is a strange world after all.

Under such a premise, no one will think that there are too many reading coins.

——Compared with Mengyuan, which is a dispensable virtual currency, reading coins are like skill points, which can manifest skills in the real world. After all, Mengyuan is just a virtual currency in dreams, how can life matter!

Compared with Mengyuan, which can be generated anytime and anywhere, it is more difficult to obtain reading coins. Only the emotions generated in the process of reading novels can be converted into reading coins, and reading coins of different novels cannot be shared.

That is to say, the 100 reading coins generated by reading A novel can only manifest the power related to A novel in reality, such as the skill items mentioned in A novel, or summon the characters in A novel, but cannot use Yu B novel. This means that only novels that readers really like can be realized in reality. There's no use in forcing yourself to read a lot of books.

Even Zhang Yue and the others couldn't fake this. Because they don't like novels they don't like, even if they know the importance of reading coins, they cannot force themselves to have positive emotions and get reading coins.

"I really envy those little whites. When I first started reading novels, everything must be very interesting, right?" Zhang Yue kept his thoughts on the screen while turning on the screen, "It's not easy for an old bookworm like me."

While speaking, Zhang Yue has skillfully opened the "Investigator's Daily" which has been on the top of the bookshelf.

After only one look, he wailed:

"—I'm so hard!"

"Today is another day when there is no update in Yuanxia!"

... For an old bookworm who doesn't have a few favorite books in total, but the author always likes to fish, life is just embarrassing me, this little cat!

At this moment, in the comment area of ​​this novel, many readers also made a cry of being let down by the author:

[Woo woo woo fattening only takes one chapter for ten days, you are not human! I declare that you are the number one expert in the fishing world, the salted fish king who rules all salted fish! ! ]

[Why? why treat me like this? For the first time, I can read a novel openly, and for the first time, I can also show my skills while reading a novel. The two happy things are superimposed together? It is obviously double the happiness, why is it like this...]

[Obviously I read other? The author is very diligent in updating! Some of them? The author is said to be a ghost living in the dream world, and there are a lot of time codes every day. The rest? The authors are those who are familiar with us. They can't come in during the day, but at night they are hurrying to code words. what. In order to earn prestige points, I heard that even the ones who used to be the favorite to break the watch? The pigeons have now become the day watch party. Why is Yuanxia Dada so different and distinctive? I am dry. ]

The comment area was full of ghosts and wolves, and at this time, a comment with a clearly different style appeared.

[Don't cry, don't cry, it's useless. I know an investigator from the Special Affairs Bureau. According to him, this entire dream world was created by Yuan Xia, and of course he has the privilege to be superior to other people. Such as fishing :)]

[I hear you say that, and my whole person is not well. Could this be the legendary employee bald boss fishing for fish? Ah ah ah ~ It is said that in the dream world, the whole world is connected, where must this salted fish be wandering? I have a stupid trick, everyone should pay attention now, if anyone finds this salted fish, we will teleport to it collectively, pay attention, we must approach carefully so as not to arouse his vigilance, and then catch it on the spot...]

[Add one, eat boiled salted fish tonight! ]

[Charcoal-roasted pigeons are also good. ]

[Tears flow out of his mouth unwillingly. ]

A group of readers have liked it in the comments, and some people have even started recommending cooking methods from all over the world. Even Zhang Yue was eager to try it out, gearing up for it.

At this moment, an untimely reply popped up, causing everyone to fall into a strange silence.

[…So, does anyone recognize him? ]

In the quiet silence in the comment area, someone finally couldn't help but sigh, bringing out strong anger.

[I'm so stupid, other gods have photos leaked out, so I haven't exposed it - Damn, it must be this pigeon spirit deliberately! It seems that the truth that he is a pigeon sperm is very close, and he has long been on guard against our offline real people urging updates! ! ! ]

Zhang Yue, who was gearing up, suddenly woke up.

I don't know why, he? The first thing that popped up in his mind was the image of the starlight suddenly descending in Tianze City at that time?: "No, if we really go offline to urge updates, who will be caught in the little black room is uncertain. Woolen cloth."

With this kind of knowledge, his feverish head finally calmed down, regained his normal thinking ability, and began to flip through other books on the bookshelf: "Forget it, I will first follow the book I collected yesterday. It is said that the author She is a ghost lady with more than 30,000 daily updates... It is said that there are many ghost authors who are very diligent in updating..."

"...has become a ghost and still works so hard, obviously not for prestige, but out of love for writing! Compared with a certain pigeon, it is even more rare, um... such an author must support!"

·

"I'm already a dead ghost, why am I even more tired than when I was a social animal?" In a secret interlayer in the dream space, a long sigh came out, "The life after death is different from my stupid? Elephant! "

Another voice asked back: "What are you idiots like?"

The voice that sighed before said in an aria-like tone: "I thought—death is an eternal sleep!"

"That's a shame, you have to get used to it as soon as possible, the reality is - death is the beginning of 007, and the endless noise of the code word machine!"

Fang Luo learned from the aria-like tone of the new ghost who had just painted the bottom layer of the dream world and officially joined the job, and told the cruel truth.

Then, he pushed the stunned new ghost to a computer and said ruthlessly, "The rules of work are on your left, and you can start working."

"...Of course, if you are not used to the form of computer code words, you can also turn it into other objects."

In addition to this new ghost, there are many computers in this mezzanine space at this time, as well as the ghost ghosts who are working at the desk. Hearing the voices of the two people talking, they couldn't help but cast a faint voice to this side. eyes.

It's such a sad feeling, as if I was an overseer with a whip to supervise the work of the slaves... Unfortunately, you can see that I can't do anything about it. This is the decision of the boss... One after another, thoughts popped out of my mind. , Fang Luo, whose conscience is still alive, can no longer bear this atmosphere that seems to be squeezing good people, and left the mezzanine space of this dream world in a hurry and embarrassed.

...Although knowing that these evil spirits also benefited from the emotional energy feedback from readers, at least it can stabilize their humanity and no longer need to paint frequently, but the benefits are definitely not enough to make them so obedient ?, I'm really curious how the bosses made them so good?

There is also the Wenhao system, no, it should be called the Dreamland Book City now. It is said that it is a weird one with intelligence. How did the boss make it? Obedient? The only one in the world? The one with intelligence Weird, what if it tries to deceive everyone, is not good for human beings, or does tricks in secret?

Fang Luo was still thinking nonsense and confused, when a clear male voice suddenly entered his ears: "General weirdness is like rigid rules, foolishness is impossible to change, and weirdness with intelligence is simple. Wisdom means being able to communicate, be able to persuade, know the pros and cons, and know how to be in awe... Only such eccentrics are willing to cooperate and make changes."

Fang Luo looked at him in amazement, and saw a familiar figure, who did not know when he had appeared? Not far in front of him.

Dark gray long trench coat, dark and slightly messy hair, dark and pure eyes, clear and clean face, and the little smile that was randomly sketched by the corners of the lips.

Yuan did not ignore his surprise, and continued: "The weirdness is the rules of distortion and pollution. The rules are the composition of the world, so they cannot be destroyed. But the wisdom born in the rules is not the case. It is not protected."

Fang Luo suddenly understood: "Destroying the weird body is against the rules of the world, but if you just clear the wisdom of the Wenhao system, it is equivalent to bypassing the armored body and directly dealing with the undefended soul. ?"

... As for how the boss made the "soul" choose to surrender, and was sure that the other party would not betray him, he intuitively told Fang Luo that it was definitely not something he, stupid, knew.

Why didn't he glance at him? "It's not difficult, it's as simple as dealing with a small cake."

Fang Luo wasn't stupid yet? When he understood what happened to "Little Cake", he suddenly became alert: "You, do you know what I'm being stupid?" He subconsciously threw off his honorary title.

It was at this time that he realized that he had not opened his mouth before, and he had answered it without reason, but now it is the same again. This is no longer a simple coincidence that can be explained.

Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise. I wonder if I was surprised at him? I actually saw it, or was I surprised at him? I saw it so late: "I really can."

Touching the candy jar in his hand, he threw the candies into his mouth one by one, and in Fang Luo's terrified sight, he slowly curved his lips: "Generally, there are I can't see the soul inside the clothes of the flesh. But if you are separated from the flesh and face the state of your soul, then all your secrets are not secrets, right? Especially when you are too emotional, those in your heart The foolishness was literally smashing me head-on."

It seems that he was afraid that he would not look good enough, so he turned the candy jar in his hand and added: "Well, you can be stupid like a candy jar suddenly burst open, and countless candies are smashed on your face. ."

Fang Luo: "...???"

...sounds? No, why am I doing such a weird liaison?? Only children are fooled into small cakes, candy jars and the like.

"You still have thoughts? Tucao, it seems that your mental ability is better than my foolishness."

I didn't want to give Fang Luo a thoughtful glance, and saw that the latter felt guilty for a while, and his mind was full of keywords like #bad bad bad boss forgive me#.

"——Then the news I'm going to say next, you should also accept it :

Seeing that the boss didn't pursue it, Fang Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and asked half-truthfully, "What is it?"

He? At this time, he has completely calmed down. Yu has also entered the dream space with the boss before, but it is only today that the boss reveals his abilities in front of him... From another angle, Yu is also a kind of trust.

No, I just want you to have a clearer understanding of me, and use it as a tool man to speak for the rest of the Secret Service, lest they doubt what I'm saying next? He glanced at him, and then said: "I once used a tool to spy on the future destiny of this world..."

In the fate plot given by System 999, human beings perish, Zhang Chen is the son of luck, and finally merges with weirdness. At first glance, there is nothing in this direction, but? Combined with the original undiscovered "world rules are polluted and distorted" From the perspective of the truth, there are obviously two interpretations.

The first interpretation: The world has been completely polluted, and it is more prone to weirdness. Just like those ancient overlords who were eliminated? Then humans were chosen to be on the stage, now the human race will also be eliminated, and weirdness is the future era. The protagonist - this is what the world will choose.

If so, then whatever human beings do now is just a futile, dying struggle, and the short-lived light of hope will sooner or later be extinguished. Because fate is unwilling to favor, the world does not stand on the side of mankind.

The second interpretation: The world is not completely polluted. He is like a person who was invaded by a virus and was still struggling. He chose the wrong child of luck because of a fever. Whether it is Zhang Chen or the direction of human extinction, it is not the original intention of the world's will. It can only be said that if there is no original intention, in the established direction, the struggle and resistance of the world itself has failed, and it has been completely polluted.

- If so, it can be rescued.

As long as human beings remove pollution and distortion step by step, the speed of removing pollution is faster than the speed of spreading pollution, and helping the world recover from the "sick" state. This may be a long process, but sooner or later, everything will be ushered in. Back to normal day.

It was not to hide the part where Zhang Chen was the son of luck, but also to hide the process of analysis, and only presented two possibilities to Fang Luo.

"In short, maybe everything is meaningless, and in the end, we can only sink together; maybe, after a long time, the hope they were looking forward to will finally come-" He used a voice so calm that he didn't have the slightest emotion. The terrified Fang Luo said, "Remember to tell the special affairs bureau."

Fang Luo is still immersed in that terrifying future. But God, countless terrifying images have emerged in his mind.

Seeing Yuan Buwei finished saying this? He was about to leave. He subconsciously said, "Why didn't you say it yourself?"

"No, I'll probably be very busy next time."

——As for the mysterious existence that passed by unintentionally at the beginning, as for the other party, the breath that distorted the rules of the whole small world was emanating at will, but I was quite curious. He's going to try to catch a wisp and see what that essence is.

Thinking happily about the next plan, I didn't want to stuff myself a candy again.

[Host?, I thought you wouldn't tell them the truth. ] System 999 wondered, [After all, this is not helpful, and it is too cruel. 】

If it is the first type of guessing, even if they know the truth in advance, they will be powerless. Instead, they will fall into despair and chaos, making everything now in vain; if it is the second, let alone, only ? To keep everything on track, hope will come.

System 999 put his own analysis together, and suddenly felt as if he had become smarter, and a flash of inspiration said: [We can even make up white lies, but only talk about the second possibility, everyone can have hope , just live without knowing the truth, even if the doomsday comes, at least you will be happier, right? 】

"Isn't it happier if you don't know the truth? Even if you live in false lies all your life..." Yuan Buwei repeated it, accidentally biting the candy.

He puffed out his cheeks angrily, and the rich ink color in his pupils seemed to be much deeper and purer in an instant.

In the next instant, the ink faded, and he spoke casually.

"Well, then consider me suddenly stupid? Do something bad."
