Arthur Jack man came out of the police station and met Mina, who had been waiting for him for a long time. The two stood in each other's arms, speechless for a moment.
"Let's go home first."
As if he had a lot to say, but didn't know what to say at all, Arthur Jack man could only silently hug Mina's shoulders.
"Okay."
Mina wiped the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded slightly choked.
Returning to the former rental house, Mina started walking around and made him a big table full of sumptuous lunch... I have to say, this meal was even more delicious than the damn bread provided by Jigsaw.
Didi didi!
Didi didi!
After eating and drinking, Arthur Jack man wiped his mouth and was about to say something to Mina, but the sound from next to him made him stop.
The source of the sound... is the tablet he brought out from Jigsaw Chamber.
Displayed above is a page for incoming calls. At the top of the page is the puppet mask avatar of Jigsaw, and at the bottom is a flashing green phone icon.
As for the hang-up option that should exist... this rogue electronic product produced by Jigsaw does not seem to have this function.
"Mina, I'm going out to take a call. You should take a rest first. Your eyes are bloodshot, red and swollen."
Arthur Jack man was silent for a moment, said something to Mina Zhang, then picked up the tablet next to him and went out.
"Although you are not too smart, first of all, congratulations on passing the mock exam with a barely passing grade."
When the call was connected, the familiar hoarse voice of Jigsaw came out.
Arthur Jack man found that he was unexpectedly not frightened by the call from the "devil" again. He even thought about whether he could add this call to his work, and asked, "Now that I have passed, what else do you want to do? Why am I just barely qualified?"
"Those are two questions. I can answer your second question first."
Jigsaw's voice was hoarse and calm, as if he was really here to announce the game pass results.
"The secret room you are in does not lack symbols of intellectual labor, and there are even tests on your perseverance, mentality, personality, etc."
"Saliva, you won't be able to get it when you are extremely thirsty at first, but after you replenish water, it will be much easier to get than sweat."
"But because of a little environmental guidance hint and the interference and irritation of two photos, you ignored and forgot this point. Your nature of being content with the status quo and muddle along made you immersed in your own inertial comfort zone."
"This means that you missed an opportunity to reach the other side of success because of your mentality and will. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
Having said this, Jigsaw paused for a moment, as if waiting for Arthur Jack man to digest and understand the content of his words, and then continued after a moment:
"The human body not only contains saliva, but also gastric juice. If there is no food left in the stomach, you can spit out a large amount of gastric juice just by pressing your throat."
"However, you still failed to think of this. This is a lack of knowledge and a lack of enterprising spirit, which makes you miss an opportunity to succeed again."
"Of course, even with your willpower, you may not be able to endure until the food in your stomach is completely digested."
"Wisdom, knowledge, mind, and character are all necessary elements to seize opportunities. Unfortunately, you basically don't meet the standards. You can only sit back and watch the opportunity slip away before your eyes, or you simply don't see the opportunity."
"To sum up, if there is no change, you can basically only be a hard worker and a low-level employee for the rest of your life. Of course, after you make a little progress, dreams and love are indeed good catalysts..."
Jigsaw The hoarse tone of the analysis, which seemed to dismember and analyze his entire soul bit by bit, made Arthur Jack man feel chills in his heart. The hairs on his back had stood up before he knew it, and a layer of fine cold sweat broke out.
This devil knows him better than he knows himself.
After carefully reviewing his recent experiences, he found that what Jigsaw said was not bad at all, and there were even many things that he himself did not notice.
Especially the problem of being complacent with the status quo.
In the past, I was raised by Mina. I felt guilty and depressed, and because I had no worries about food and clothing, I never thought of finding ways to make money...
When he first entered the secret room, he knew clearly that no one would come to help him, but he still had to wait until he was hungry and cold before he started working hard to earn coins.
Because of some interference from Jigsaw and the environment he was in at the time, he subconsciously chose the least efficient "sweat". After earning the ten Skull Coins necessary to survive through sweat, he settled for the status quo and began to repeat the process.
Exercise once, get ten Skull Coins, and then start to be in a daze for the rest of the time, start to sleep, and never think about earning more coins or how to earn coins more easily.
Up to this point, this is very similar to those workers who just take things as they come with a meager salary. Due to limitations of their own conditions, environment, information channels, etc., they find an ordinary and mediocre job, and because they have no ambition, they settle for the status quo.
If this is a real job, then unless the company he works for goes bankrupt or other circumstances force him to do so, he will work honestly for the rest of his life, and then just muddle along, complaining about the embarrassment of life, but not daring or being willing to take risks or make progress.
After that, Jigsaw pushed him again and gave him the choice of Mina and bombs, which completely broke his immersive comfort zone and forced him to earn more coins under the pressure of Mina and life-and-death crisis.
However, they are still just forced to earn, and they are still content with the status quo or inertia and adopt the most efficient way to work harder.
When I was in that situation, I still didn't think about how to make money more easily or make more money. It wasn't until the countdown to death caused by the bomb was approaching that I barely made a breakthrough. I thought I had caught the Jigsaw Chamber bug wisely and continued to pursue my "dream" that I had failed countless times.
Only now did he realize how lucky he was to survive.
It can be said that the progress and transformation that I was somewhat proud of were actually driven by Jigsaw time and time again.
If he hadn't accidentally written <Judgment Knight Jigsaw> due to the inspiration of this experience, he would have definitely died if he pursued his "dream" under normal circumstances. Even if Jigsaw made it slightly more difficult, he would have died miserably. His ability to survive was entirely due to Jigsaw's failure to a certain extent.
"So, what is your purpose now? To take me back to "make up lessons"?"
Arthur Jack man's face became uncertain, and he turned his head to look at the rental house behind him in worry.
"Of course not, I just want to introduce you to a job."
On the other end of the phone, Li Si was typing on the keyboard quickly while speaking casually. At the same time, his voice was processed by Skynet into a deep and hoarse synthetic voice that reached Arthur Jack man's ears.
Arthur Jack man's surprised voice came. "Work?"
"Don't worry, it's just a normal job, and it's the type of creation you love most."
When it came to the key point, Li Si finally stopped his hand and revealed his true purpose with a smile, "I will give you some book outlines. All you need to do is expand them into finished books, and we will divide the income generated by the books equally."
"Are you still short of money?"
Arthur Jack man was a little shocked after hearing this.
Although he has never experienced this kind of cooperation, he has been involved in this industry for many years, so naturally he has heard about it. However, it is a bit inconsistent for a mysterious outlaw like Jigsaw to talk to him about such "conventional" things.
"Of course, do you think there is no need for funds to decorate the secret room? Or should I ask you people who experience the secret room to collect sightseeing fees?"
Li Si's one sentence directly made Arthur Jack man speechless.
However, he is not really short of money. The cash from the previous gold sales is more than enough for the completion of the dungeon, and no matter how much dollars he earns from the dungeon, it is just useless to him. Unless he is privateering the dungeon or has enough time to convert the funds into high-end items, no matter how much dollars he earns, it is just a pile of waste paper that cannot be taken away.
The reason for asking for profit is actually just too lazy to waste words. I don't know how many times I have to explain it to people to believe the pie-in-the-sky thing like giving money away. How can it be like now? After Arthur Jack man experienced the initial shock, the two of them roughly finalized the cooperation matter in a relaxed and happy manner.
He provided the outline, Arthur Jack man wrote the book, and the proceeds were divided equally. Although it felt a bit unreasonable, the previous incident made Arthur Jack man naturally fearful and awe of Jigsaw. Under the unequal psychological status, he did not dare to refute anything.
"I have sent you the outline. Remember, my only request is that it be done quickly."
After the pleasant negotiation, Li Si directly transmitted all the outlines he had just written to Arthur Jack man.
Of course, these outlines are not his original ones, but are copycats... uh, ahem, imitating the outlines of System Flow Crossing Internet articles at some point in previous lives.
Arthur Jack man may not be creative and enterprising enough, but he has a very rare advantage: his coding speed is fast enough.
So when he saw something written by Arthur Jack man before, a huge plan came into his mind, which could be used to squeeze out the remaining value of Arthur Jack man.
Tianchao Wangwen is a good thing. Firstly, it can reminisce about the time before time travel. Secondly, it can also be used to perfect his Tireless Teaching holographic brainwashing method.
He remembered it after reading Arthur Jackman's book a few days ago. It seemed that Pandora had said that Marvel Earth's Celestial Dynasty did not have any web articles flowing through the system. As for the copy and the real earth, there was no need to count on it.
Without Tianchao Net, these aborigines would not have concepts such as time travel, systems, and golden fingers in their minds, which really greatly affected his Tireless Teaching plan.
In the past, when I fooled Ivan Vanko, I had to go to great lengths to explain the origin and rationality of the system. But if I were to switch to a nerd who was familiar with certain Internet articles, the explanation? The loopholes? These would not exist at all.
Suffice it to say, I, the system, grandpa, these people have a sense of mission as the protagonist in minutes, and they can figure out any bugs by themselves. If someone with a low IQ would not pay attention to any loopholes, they would just start pretending and slapping people in the face to reach the peak of life.
Even those with high IQs, as long as they don't overturn when cheating, they will only doubt the concepts in the Internet articles in their minds. At most, they will use conspiracy theories to doubt their own golden fingers. They have to use them. No matter how open-minded and solidified their inertial thinking is, they will not think that the entire world is virtual.
Therefore, for his grand plan of Tireless Teaching, it is imperative for Tianchao Netwen to export culture across time and space, and he will do his part to ignite the spark of cross-current netwen.
"It is everyone's responsibility to carry forward the traditional culture of the Chinese dynasty and let it blossom."
Li Si was filled with a sense of mission and looked up to the sky with compassion.
He is not fighting alone at this moment!
Behind him stand thousands of Chinese online writers, and stand the great Chinese nation!
