Soul Patch

Chapter 150 Ends Single-Player Mode (Bonus Chapter 2 for Alliance Leader)

After Wen Tianyi left the bedroom, Wen Jie was even more unable to sleep.

He looked around the bedroom again; he had already looked around many times since he came upstairs after finishing his meal.

To be honest, he still doesn't quite feel comfortable living here.

It seems that by correcting the incident of Jia Nan killing her father, her life trajectory has undergone a dramatic change.

Who is doing the research position at the General Administration?

Who lives in the apartments arranged by the General Administration?

Does Yang Shanshan still live in Huateng Jiayuan?

He took out his phone, looked through it, and found that he didn't have Yang Shanshan's phone number saved.

That's right, I don't work at the General Administration anymore, so I have no contact with Yang Shanshan anymore.

So, in the Zhao Xiaolong incident, is that system bug still there? In other words, is Yang Shanshan's subconscious affection for him still there?

His hand trembled slightly, he turned over in bed, and reached out to pull open the bedside table.

The "butterfly rope buckle" that caused the system bug is now in the bedside table.

He leaned over, stared at the unfamiliar yet familiar bedside table, paused for a moment, exhaled a breath of stale air, and angrily pounded the mattress.

It's not this bedside table at all, it's the first drawer of the bedside table in the rental apartment building.

It's not this villa, not this bedroom, and not this bedside table.

Moreover, the butterfly rope clasp is nowhere to be found.

Wenjie felt a pang of sadness. The image of that evening with the elevator opening and closing, that beautiful night, and the scene the next day when he saw the crimson blood on the bed and secretly vowed to treat Yang Shanshan well all intertwined together.

He didn't even have a chance to say "I love you" to Yang Shanshan.

Those sweet and sorrowful thoughts were gradually blown away by the night breeze.

Wenjie's gaze was unfocused. He turned off the bedside lamp, letting the darkness engulf his figure and his thoughts.

He was in a daze, opening his eyes and closing them again, then opening them again and closing them again... It felt like a century had passed, yet it also felt like only a moment.

Heartbreak is hard to heal; every moment feels like an eternity. And the time that is finally endured seems to pass in an instant, only to be followed by an even longer and more endless torment.

Tonight, not a single star can be seen; the night sky resembles a black brocade, adorned only with a crescent moon.

The moonlight, seemingly sensing the oppressive and sorrowful atmosphere of the bedroom, peered out the window but showed no intention of shining into the room.

This made Wenjie, who was in the room, feel even more dejected.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't yet claimed the system reward for completing the mission.

When Wenjie thought of the system, his awe of it intensified, a feeling he had never experienced before.

It seems to have seeped into my blood and bones, becoming a part of my body and my faith.

He sat upright on the bed, clearing his mind of all distractions, and cautiously activated the system.

【warning】

【warning】

【warning】

Unexpectedly, once I entered the system interface, the words "Warning" in large white font were prominently displayed before my eyes.

Wenjie was terrified.

At times like this, Wenjie would wonder if the system was about to crash.

This time too.

The system has completed the task that Wenjie was most looking forward to, so it's good to unbind himself from the system and return to a normal life.

But the system clearly doesn't think that way.

The system interface flashed, and a new line of text appeared in front of me.

[When the patch carrier was performing a correction task, it established a connection with someone other than the target unit without authorization. The system determined that this connection was unrelated to the task. However, because this connection affected the development of the objective world, the system will punish the patch carrier.]

Link? What kind of link?

For a moment, Wenjie's mind was a bit confused. He wanted to go through the process of carrying out the mission involving Andy's car accident and find the connection.

However, a new prompt appeared as the system interface scrolled.

[Please select the penalty type for the patch carrier: A. Re-enter the system test; B. Terminate single-player mode]

At this moment, Wenjie's attention was 120% focused; his eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

He had never been so focused before, and before he knew it, the sweat seeping from his back had soaked through his pajamas.

The system is a pain; it can easily default to the first option without you even realizing it.

[Select time in three seconds]

【3】

【2】

【1】

[B]

Wenjie closed his eyes and made his choice.

Although I don't quite understand what "single-player" means.

But it's better than having to re-enter the test, which starts every six hours and will destroy your life if you don't complete the task in three days.

If the system kills you, in real life you might jump off a building, die in an accident, or even be struck by lightning...

It's not like we haven't seen patch carriers get struck by lightning and killed because they interfered with system task assignment.

He had only just begun to experience the feeling of fatherly love, and he had even promised his father that he would go to Huahai with him to take up his new job tomorrow. He absolutely could not die.

On the system interface, the stand-alone mode begins automatic saving.

Wenjie stared at the mission scenes flashing by, and when he saw Andy's father hand him a business card, he fled in panic.

Andy's father took a picture from behind him.

He was stunned for a moment, not expecting to be photographed. What would Andy's father do with the photo? Ask the designer to use it as a reference for clothing design?

Yes, this is it. With the launch of this series of clothing styles, we will be at least 10 years ahead of the industry.

Wenjie was startled. Could it be... could this be the reason why Heilan Home stands out among many domestic clothing brands?

How many competitors will be squeezed out of business by this?

How many people's life trajectories have been altered as a result?

Wenjie dared not think any further. This was something completely unrelated to the car accident, yet it had indeed affected his real life.

While he was deep in thought, all the tasks he had completed in single-player mode had been backed up.

The system screen flickered a few times, much like a TV changing channels when the voltage is unstable, before the system interface became colorful.

Wenjie could see that there were four different areas on the interface, and he only occupied one corner.

The other three areas were dark gray, which he could not control.

He focused his attention on his own area, and as his attention became more concentrated, his area filled the entire screen.

Personal Panel:

The basic task rewards: Mindset 3, Intelligence 4, Emotional Intelligence 2, Skills 3.

Intermediate quest reward: Patch type 4.

Advanced Task Rewards: Identity 0, Scene 0, Timeline 0, Modeling 0, Data 0

Lottery: Item 1/10

Props? What props?

Wenjie didn't think of it for a moment, but then a thought flashed through his mind and the treasure chest containing the item automatically appeared in the center of the screen.

Facing Wenjie, he opened the treasure chest, and a golden card jumped out of the golden chest: Skip the system-assigned task once.

There is a confirmation button at the bottom of the card.

Oh, Wenjie remembers now, it was won in that lottery, but he never used it. So it was a prop.

To be honest, Wenjie is quite satisfied with the system interface; it's user-friendly and easy to operate.

However, the thought that this was a system punishment made him shudder, and he secretly warned himself not to be careless.

[Enable online tasks?]

Online? Single-player?

Oh, so the quests are starting to have interactive elements now? And there's more than one system patch?

that……

Is this a cooperative relationship or a competitive one?

Wenjie felt a surge of tension and focused intently on the system interface.

Soon the system received new information.

After exiting single-player mode, system-assigned tasks cannot be started or stopped at will.

[Once a task is started while connected to the internet, you can only exit the system after the task is completed.]

See? I told you the internet connection was hard to manage, Wenjie sighed inwardly.

[System task being assigned, please check]

This...this is how it begins?

The first volume, "Butterfly Rope Knot," is now complete. Tomorrow, we will begin the next volume, "Mysterious Reflection."

In this volume, Brother Chao will explain the plot, logic, and story clearly so that everyone can understand it; this will be the top priority of this volume.
