Being a Salted Fish Chapter 3 Part 1: This Wave!

System: [Where is this?]

Yu Xiang: [My home]

System: [How can you just go home like this?]

Yu thought: [Then what? Do I need to go back to the scene with Chu Lihan again?]

System: [……]

Just as Yu Xiang was communicating silently with the system using brain waves, footsteps were heard coming from the direction of the stairs.

It was obvious that other people in the Yu family were attracted here by this cousin's loud voice.

And Yu Xiang...

She was going to show her respect first.

Yu Zhong didn't expect Yu Xiang to run away after she finished speaking, and he shouted several times from behind: "Don't go! Stop! Are you feeling guilty? Why are you running?"

The original owner of the body lived on the first floor, which made it convenient for Yu Xiang to escape.

Once she entered the door and locked it, no one could disturb her while she was catching up on her sleep.

Her uncles and aunts arrived late, and she was already gone.

The uncle asked, "Where is Yu Xiang?"

Yu Zhong was still a little stunned: "She, she went into the room."

The uncle frowned and asked again, "What were you yelling about just now?"

"Yu Xiang didn't come back all night. Dad, I think you really need to interrogate her. She doesn't work properly. I don't know which man she went with. There are marks on her neck..."

The uncle interrupted him and asked, "Didn't she say yesterday that she was going to attend a cocktail party at Haili Hotel?"

Yu Zhong: "Oh, I see! She must have gone to see Ling Chenyuan again!"

The eldest uncle of the Yu family sneered: "It would be great if she could really fool around with Ling Chenyuan! Unfortunately, she doesn't have the ability to do so... Okay, shut up and don't disturb the family so early in the morning."

Yu Zhong had no choice but to shut up and glared in the direction of Yu Xiang's bedroom.

Yu Xiang slept until two in the afternoon.

She got up and took a shower before turning on her cell phone to deal with the unread messages.

But how to say it?

The original owner of the body stayed out all night, and fell asleep until two in the afternoon, but there were only three unread messages, and they were all sent by the same person.

[Miss, it’s ten fifty-six! Where are you?]

[Mr. Shen is angry. I don’t want to be scolded because of you]

[…… Fine.]

Sender: Liao Jiafei

From the last “Fine”, Yu Xiang could almost see the other person’s helpless expression.

Yu Xiang did not fully obtain the original owner of the body's memories. All she could grasp were the prompts from the system and her understanding of the plot of the original novel.

After all, the original owner of the body was just a cannon fodder character in the novel, and her role was to serve as a plot tool. The author certainly would not spend a lot of time and effort to describe her in a fully realistic manner.

In short...

Yu Xiang didn't even know who this Liao Jiafei and that Mr. Shen were.

But judging from the content of the text message, she was indeed late and caused trouble for other people's work.

We are all corporate slaves, so why make things difficult for each other?

Yu Xiang felt that way, so sent a text message back to the other party.

[Sorry, something unexpected happened yesterday. I will go and explain it to Mr. Shen myself.]

Not long after the message was sent, Yu Xiang's phone vibrated.

[... Why do you have accidents every day?]

Yu Xiang knew why. That was probably the original owner of the body’s excuse for skipping work.

But she couldn't just admit it.

Yu Xiang typed: [Unlucky, car accidents every day]

System: [……] This person cursed herself like this without caring???

The system coldly reminds: [You can’t destroy your character]

Yu Xiang ignored it and just sent it the message.

The system vaguely realized that this host might be a little difficult to deal with.

It could only remind her again: [If you destroy your character, you will be wiped out]

[Yeah.] Yu Xiang replied lightly, and asked, [Then tell me, what is her personality like?]

[She is greedy, lazy, has low IQ, big breasts and no brains... Why are you touching your breasts?!] The system got a breakdown.

Yu thought: [Ah, I just want to feel them to see if they really are that big.]

System: [……]

Yu thought: [It's okay, just keep talking.]

System: [……]

Yu Xiang: "Go ahead, I'm waiting to learn."

System: [She doesn’t know how to hide her thoughts, and she always shows her bad intentions on the surface, so she will never say sorry to others. She always feels justified when she does something wrong...]

Yu thought: [Oh, not bad.]

The system asked in vigilance: [What's not bad?]

Yu thought: [I think this character setting is not bad.]

System: ?

Is she serious? With this kind of character, nine out of ten hosts cried and said they didn't want to do it. And those who endured it failed the mission.

How could a host like Yu Xiang, who was extremely uncooperative from the beginning, accept it so calmly?

Yu Xiang: "Will I be wiped out after breaking the character setting once? That shouldn't be the case. Then, you guys would be so tired, right? You have to go kill a host every day?"

System: [Yes, you are right. There are levels and processes for judging this.]

System: [If you moderately break out of your character setting when behaving or saying your lines in front of an unimportant minor character, you will only be punished with a mild electric shock. If you mildly break out of your character setting in front of an important character, you will be punished with pain all over your body.]

System: [You have a limited number of times! 10 for moderate and 5 for mild. Once the number is used up, you will be wiped out.]

Yu Xiang: “Oh.”

She suddenly asked softly, "Will you also be punished, Xiaoyuan?"

The system paused.

Not only was this the first time a host called it by its name instead of "system," it was also the first time someone asked it, "Will you also be punished?"

System: [Sorry, this is not something I must answer]

Yu Xiang nodded.

She thought to herself, Xiaoyuan, you are not as smart as cannon fodder.

If you don't answer, it means you will definitely be punished too.

Yu Xiang didn't ask how long the judgment process would take.

She would naturally know it when her character collapsed next time.

Yu Xiang stood up happily, changed her clothes, and pushed the door open to go out.

The system couldn't hold back any longer: [Why don't you ask me when you will be punished?]

Yu Xiang blinked innocently: [Huh? Did I do something wrong?]

System: [You slept with Chu Lihan. ]

Speaking of this matter, the system feels very angry.

System: [How could you, how could you sleep with him? The plot has changed!]

Yu Xiang asked nonchalantly, [Did I break out of my character yesterday?]

System: [……]

It seems... not? Because the original owner of the body was indeed lying on Chu Lihan's bed, and under the influence of the drug, she did everything she could to seduce Chu Lihan.

Yu Xiang analyzed the situation with it: [So you see, it's actually Chu Lihan who broke out of his character setting, right?]

System: [……]

[Does he also have a system? Will he be wiped out?] Yu Xiang asked casually.

The system said firmly: "That's impossible. Not everyone can play the role of a villain. He is a natural, pure-blooded bad guy. He doesn't need a system at all!"

Yu Xiang: [Oh, that’s a shame.]

System: ?

Why do you sound like you're hoping that he'll be wiped out? This kind of thinking is very dangerous, you know? Once Chu Lihan finds out, your nine lives won't be enough for him to take!
