Chapter 334 I wasn't worried about you
The system froze.
The entire AI program was running wildly, as if it had encountered countless errors. The system dared not say a single word more, for saying more would only lead to more mistakes.
It had no idea how Jiang Xingni figured out the problem, nor did it know if saying anything else would give Jiang Xingni inspiration to deduce more—although Jiang Xingni had already deduced pretty much everything.
The system didn't hide much from Jiang Xingni, and what Jiang Xingni has now uncovered is only a small part of what the system had concealed.
Jiang Xingni didn't react much to the lack of a system response; she simply shrugged.
Sometimes, not answering is also an answer, and remaining silent is also a statement.
As long as the system reacts in this way, Jiang Xingni can deduce that her guess is correct.
Moreover, it's most likely one of the messages the system can't reveal.
"If it's not my fate that's been reversed, then what is it?" Jiang Xingni pondered, resting her chin on her hand and squinting as she slowly analyzed with great interest.
Centered on her, who is the character who has changed the most because of her, who is the most different from the original character, and who was most likely to die in the original design?
First, exclude everyone in the main character group.
Although they are usually the first to suffer from the persecution of screenwriters, Jiang Xingni doesn't think that screenwriters would go so far as to cut all the protagonists they have painstakingly created just because their development is not satisfactory—in a physical sense.
Secondly, extras like Jiang Xingni can be completely ruled out. The biggest problem is that it's unnecessary to go to such lengths for a supporting character, cannon fodder, or extra. Saving Jiang Xingni doesn't save others, and in fact, Jiang Xingni often kills many innocent people in the process of saving himself.
Finally... Jiang Xingni suddenly had a particularly bold guess in his mind.
She didn't speak, wanting to see what the system could say. Of course, the system didn't dare to speak, and in the end, it could only hug its virtual head and sob in Jiang Xingni's mind.
A bit noisy.
Jiang Xingni's final guess was that the object of his destinies' reversal was this comic book world.
Only by reversing the fate of the comic can the current situation and the circumstances Jiang Xingni is experiencing be reasonably explained.
The world doesn't care about anyone's life or death, so it doesn't care whether the person bound to the system can survive. It also doesn't care whether a person kills more innocent people in the process of trying to survive.
In its view, there is not much difference between one person dying and a bunch of people dying; what it cares about is whether the world can continue.
Even someone like Jiang Xingni, after altering the original plot and world development on such a large scale, successfully landed on the screenwriter's kill list, becoming a useful tool that could efficiently meet its demise without wasting too many resources.
Is there any tool more convenient for the world than Jiang Xingni?
No more.
Furthermore, if the original plot of the manga continues to develop, she can basically deduce the ending of the entire manga based on her understanding of shonen manga.
Like many shonen manga in that world, it was popular for a short time, but later it ended badly due to issues such as killing off popular characters and inconsistent power levels.
So this is the Fate Reversal System: it makes Jiang Xingni lead the main characters to work for the team, balancing the power development of both the main characters and the villains. Once all the problems are exposed, it uses Jiang Xingni's own death as a trigger to ignite their anger, making Jiang Xingni the only sacrifice in the whole plan.
Jiang Xingni had no objection to this.
She smiled and said, "Don't cry."
She lazily called out to the system, "Since you can't answer this question, how about we try another one?"
"What's the problem with accumulating popularity points to the end?" Although it was said that reaching a certain level of popularity points would allow Jiang Xingni to escape her fate of death, wasn't Jiang Xingni still openly walking down the road to death? She hadn't seen what role the popularity points actually played, or how they could prevent Jiang Xingni from dying—she had given up on the wishful thinking that she might not die.
What can I gain from popularity points?
"Could popularity points just bring me back to life?" Jiang Xingni muttered to himself in his mind.
If the object of reversing fate is this comic, then what can popularity points be exchanged for to change the fate of the comic?
To be honest, Jiang Xingni couldn't figure it out.
The system answered this question very quickly.
"I don't know either," the system said matter-of-factly. "I don't have the authority, and I don't know what popularity points can ultimately be exchanged for."
[Only when someone becomes number one in popularity will the items that can be redeemed with that popularity points be revealed, and only then will we know what those items are.]
The system spoke up, sounding aggrieved.
Jiang Xingni doubted whether he would still be alive by then.
Of course, she could see her popularity slowly increasing with the release of a new chapter of the comic, but Jiang Xingni still didn't think she could reach the top spot in popularity while she was still alive.
Unless they resort to a last-ditch effort by feigning death, there's still a slight possibility that they're frantically setting up flags now.
She straightened her clothes, which weren't stained with much blood—the corpses inside weren't actually killed by Jiang Xingni herself, but rather by the screenwriter to make Jiang Xingni "kill" them to increase the number of characters.
The moment Lu Ming saw Jiang Xingni walk out, he stood up and instinctively wanted to approach her. His gaze swept over Jiang Xingni for a moment before he reluctantly stopped and said, "...So you're not dead. I thought something had happened to you?"
Jiang Xingni pretended not to hear the first sentence, only the second, and took it as Lu Ming being worried about him.
"Don't worry," Jiang Xing said with a smile. "I'm fine, but you..."
Jiang Xingni's gaze fell on Lu Ming's broken arm.
Lu Ming instinctively tried to hide his hands behind his back, but when he exerted force, he gasped in pain.
Despite this, she stubbornly refused to admit it: "I'm fine, and who's worried about you? Can you stop flattering yourself!"
Jiang Xingni continued to pretend to be deaf and mute, grasped Lu Ming's injured wrist, and then took out the healing talisman that He Jingtong had drawn earlier.
Xiao Jiming stared silently at Jiang Xingni.
