Chapter 1175: Difficulty Increase
.”After hearing this, Lian Yi's red lips curled into a smile, and she let out a light chuckle:These people are really naive. Our ancestors said it best, a mountain can't accommodate two tigers. When f..."Unstable" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Yes, this is a world derived from a novel. However, because the male protagonist has a distorted worldview, he was scorned by readers. Readers' consciousness attacked this world."
The stone mill patiently explained.
"Wouldn't a world derived from a novel be more than just this one story"
Ripple asked questioningly.
"Of course, that's just the main storyline. As the protagonist's mother, your presence is crucial. After the world consciousness emerges, it will automatically generate and fill in any plot gaps. It's just that the reader's consciousness attacked the world consciousness, and both sides are unwilling to compromise, which leads to instability in the world."
The Temporal Management Bureau needs to step in and address these issues. They must ensure that the world's plot progresses while also satisfying readers, avoiding further attacks on newly formed world consciousnesses, and ultimately achieving a balance.
Because the task difficulty increased, Shiju patiently explained to Lianyi.
After pondering for a long time, Lian Yi said:
"So you're saying the protagonist has to be born from my womb, but his father doesn't necessarily have to be Li Xiangjun"
"You understand it that way, and it's not entirely wrong. But don't forget the original wish. If you can't satisfy the original being, your mission will also be judged as a failure."
I understand.
"This mission's difficulty level has been upgraded, I hope you'll be successful and don't push yourself too hard. If you need any support, feel free to call me."
The stone mill added.
"Good."
Then the two of them cut off all contact.
And just then, the door creaked open gently, followed by the sound of her mother's footsteps.
The ripples opened her eyes and whispered:
"Mother!"
"Hey! Little sister, you're awake Are you still feverish"
After her mother finished speaking, she sat down at the edge of the bed and used her rough hand to touch Lianyi's forehead.
"Well, the fever is gone, you just sweat a little. Mom made chicken soup for you to replenish your body, wait for it."
After finishing, he got up and left Ripples' room.
Ripple didn't want to lie in bed, so she sat up. She put on her coat and got out of bed, pulling the cord by the door. A dim bulb on the ceiling flickered to life.
Only then did she see the furnishings in the room. Against the wall was a wooden bed frame, a desk with a bookshelf, and a small wardrobe at the foot of the bed. There was an armchair by the bed, on which sat a hot water bottle and a glass. The room wasn't big, even a bit cramped, but it was decorated warmly, and one could tell how much her parents loved this elderly daughter.
Xing's mother went back and forth, still holding a white porcelain bowl in her hand. Inside was chicken noodle soup.
"Yo-yo, you slept for a whole day and night. Have some chicken noodle soup first."
"Mother, I'll do it myself."
The ripples took the bowl and chopsticks, then slowly started eating. The chicken soup was fragrant and the noodles were chewy. One bowl of noodles filled ripples right up.
After taking the bowl and chopsticks, Xing's mother smoothed the stray strands of hair around her ears and said:
"Sister, your body is a bit weak. Rest for two days first."
“Mother, I heard you and Father talking about Li Xiangjun before. I only remember that after I saved Goudan, my legs cramped up from the cold, and the heavy cotton clothes pulled me down. Someone pulled me up, but I don't remember what happened after that.”
These things were truly unknown to begin with.
Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Xing Mother knew that she couldn't hide the truth any longer. It was better for her daughter to hear it from her than to be exposed to rumors and gossip.
Then Mother Xing briefly explained what had happened to the original body after it fell into a coma.
"Mother, what does Father mean"
"Your father means for Li Xiangjun to marry you. He has a good future in the army, and you wouldn't be at a disadvantage by marrying him. It's difficult to find a job now, and you didn't get into university. Marrying a capable man is also a way out."
After hesitating for a moment, Xing's mother still told her plan.
But I heard what my parents just said, Li Xiangjun's mother, Li Pozi, seemed unhappy.
The ripples looked into Xingmu's eyes and said.
A flicker of hesitation crossed Mother Xing's eyes, but she finally nodded and said:
From what she said, both directly and indirectly, it seems like she doesn't want Li Xiangjun to marry you.
"If that's the case, then my marriage to Li Xiangjun will have to be reconsidered."
Ripple, with a somber expression, spoke.
"What Is the Li family still trying to shirk responsibility They dare!"
Mrs. Xing raised an eyebrow and her voice went up two notches.
"Mother, please don't worry. I lay in bed and thought about it for a long time just now, and I feel like this marriage shouldn't happen."
But
Xing's mother was getting anxious. If this wasn't resolved, her daughter would be drowned in the villagers' saliva.
"Mother, don't worry, this is after much thought. I'll get dressed and tell you and Father in your room."
Ripples knew that Old Xing was the head of this household, so she put on her coat and led Mrs. Xing to their house.
Old Man Xing had just finished dinner and was about to go to the village chief's house to put his full effort into his daughter's marriage, but he was blocked at the door by his two.
"Little sister, how did you wake up Is your fever gone How are you feeling"
Xing Laotou asked with concern.
"Father, my fever has gone down. I ate the chicken noodle soup Mother made, and now I feel stronger. I'm just a little weak."
"Then why aren't you lying down to rest, instead of coming out for a walk"
Old Man Xing frowned and said.
"Father, I have something to discuss with you both about my marriage to Li Xiangjun."
Ripples got straight to the point.
Let's talk inside.
Seeing that his daughter's face was a little pale, but her spirits were still good, Old Xing turned and went into the inner room.
After the three of them had settled down, Lian Yi spoke first:
"My mother has told me what happened after I fainted. I don't want to marry Li Xiangjun."
"Why Such a good marriage! I watched Xiangjun grow up, he's such a good boy."
Xing's father asked in some surprise.
He's fine, but their family might not be. And since I can't join the army now if I marry into their family, I would consider it if I could. But I can't join the army, and I'd have to go live with Mrs. Li, a very picky mother-in-law. Why would I put myself through that
"If I have this time, I'd rather serve and respect you and mother. You raised me for eighteen years and haven't gotten any good from me yet!"
"You child, what nonsense are you talking about Whose daughter-in-law doesn't go through this You wouldn't marry Li Xiangjun, you'd marry someone else and still have to face your in-laws. Old Man Li passed away early, leaving only Mrs. Li behind. Serving one person is easier."
"Old Man Xing disagreed and said."
"Dad, that's from the old society. After all these years of studying, I understand about marriage freedom and don't believe in those outdated ideas."
The ripples immediately retorted.
"Alright, you can't mess this up. It affects your entire future. Your mother and I will take care of everything."
Mr. Xing is stubborn and believes this is a good marriage.
Seeing the old man so stubborn, Lian Yi could only say:
"Dad, to be honest with you! Li Xiangjun has a girlfriend in the army."
"What He has a girlfriend I didn't hear him say anything about that."
Old Mr. Xing couldn't sit still anymore.
He's only been back for a few days It's impossible to announce it all over the village!
"How did you know that"
Elder Xing asked in confusion.
"When I knew that Jun Ge had come back, I went to find him. I heard it at the door of his house."Majesty, the Empress is currently tending to the three children and cannot leave."What happened to HongjiHearing that it concerned his own son, the Emperor's face also grew serious."Reporting to Your...
