Chapter 338: The heroine of the apocalypse novel takes over?
If it were just a time of chaos, then the NPC heroine would at most be an unlucky lower-class person: suffering from war, being displaced and homeless, and finally dying tragically from exploitation and oppression by her own people, or from the invasion of foreign enemies.
But if it is in a game aimed at men, it would be even more inhumane.
She can't just be an inferior person, she also has to be a beauty that male players like.
You can be beautiful, but not strong.
How else would they trample on her? And how else would a truly brilliant male protagonist appear, save her, and then trample on her again?
Therefore, the original character of the NPC was "a stunning beauty in troubled times". After becoming a refugee, she had to sell her body in order to survive.
She was originally a "gamer", but because of the hero's sincere help, she became devoted to him.
But she is just an NPC in the chaotic world of a male-oriented game!
She also didn't know that the male protagonist, who was a descendant of a "noble family", could be attracted by her beauty for a while, but it was impossible for him to actually marry her.
After the NPC heroine "became a good woman" for her love, the hero gave her away as a trading item in order to collude with the powerful in the court and bring honor to his family.
Of course, the male protagonist will not force her, everything is "voluntary" on her part - for love!
However, after she sacrificed herself for her ideal love, she became an "unclean" rag in the eyes of the male protagonist, and he felt disgusted even when he put her at home.
Although the male protagonist himself is constantly upgrading by interacting with different beautiful women and winning their favor and help.
Moreover, when he met her, he already knew what she did for a living.
The male protagonist disliked her more and more and decided to send her away. But the real reason was that he was about to marry his real wife, the real heroine in the game - the princess.
However, the NPC female protagonist didn't know all this, and she believed his lie that "it was to protect you."
But the lie was exposed. She knew she had been deceived and became angry and decided to kill the heroine of the novel - she loved the hero so much, how could she blame him?
But she is just an NPC after all.
At the end of the story, her frame-up was discovered by the hero, and when she was about to kill the heroine, the hero arrived at the right time. In order to save the heroine, he "accidentally" pierced her body with a long sword.
And this sword was a magical weapon that she spent all her wealth to have made for the male protagonist when they were in love.
……
After reading the "job content" this time, the NPC heroine felt so disgusted that she almost vomited.
She took a look at her stunning face in the mirror, grabbed the scissors beside the dressing table, and with a few clicks, her long hair fell off.
She called the waiter, knocked him unconscious, dragged him into the room, stripped him of his clothes, put them on herself, wiped off her exquisite makeup, and walked out openly.
This is the night that changes her destiny: the NPC will choose to calmly accept her "unfortunate fate" and use her beauty to survive; but the awakened NPC chooses to disguise herself as a man and rely on her own strength to fight her way out in the troubled times.
She doesn't know it now, but under Jiang Baige's writing, she will practice martial arts, unite refugees, defeat bandits, seize mountaintops, take in heroic women from all walks of life, build her own women's army, and create her own prosperous era in troubled times.
——If the troubled times are irreversible, then she will become a heroine in troubled times.
She doesn't have to be a good person, she just has to be a living person.
Until this small world had too many bugs, and she had to terminate her "work" early and was recalled to the NPC work distribution office.
Jiang Baige wrote this small world in a very cool way.
She finally realized that "happy writing" can not only make readers happy, but also make the author happy.
No wonder everyone loves to read it and the author loves to write it.
Not only that, Jiang Baige almost regards writing this quick-travel novel as a refuge. When she wants to escape from real life, she will write novels.
The number of words in the manuscript for this book is increasing rapidly, as if Jiang Baige's job has no impact on her "side job" of writing.
Unlike her previous life, no one in the company knew that she loved writing.
When adding each other as friends, she had already grouped them into the "colleagues" group and set them to be invisible to the friend circle.
Even Su Su, who was the closest to her, didn’t know that she had a “female study room”.
When her colleagues asked her why she was "blocked", she just smiled and said that she had never posted anything and that social media was a waste of time.
This reason is easy to accept because everyone knows that she likes reading. Her academic qualifications are there, and her love of reading is not a striking trait.
Jiang Baige was very frank about this: she came here to pay social security and provident fund, not to make friends.
Maybe after she leaves her job, she will open her circle of friends to some people - such as Su Su, but not now.
The less trouble, the better.
But as the weather gradually turned cooler, her anxiety grew: it was November and the epidemic had already quietly struck.
It's only a few days away from a complete outbreak.
After a brief escape, Jiang Baige decided to do something like the NPC heroine in her story, even though she knew that fate had already arranged her ending.
But...what to do?
It is obviously unrealistic to buy a mask factory, but it is still okay to stockpile various supplies.
She bought the most common masks and protective clothing online, as well as the most easily overlooked sanitary napkins and pajamas, as well as various canned foods such as meat and fruits... and even boxes of electrolyte water.
Fortunately, the house we rented this time was large enough.
Although Xin Zhiping and Mo Songru both found it very strange to see the endless stream of express deliveries she delivered almost every day and the increasing number of cardboard boxes piling up in the corner of the living room.
But Jiang Baige just made a few excuses and they didn't ask any more questions.
Not only the public space, but even Jiang Baige's room was filled with large cardboard boxes.
This was the first time there was more than books in her room.
Disinfection products like alcohol are not easy to move around, so she just bought them and sent them home.
She also knew that a one-time purchase would be less noticeable, but these supplies, especially food, have a shelf life.
In addition to purchasing, she also sorted the materials into batches according to the expiration date, and even made an Excel spreadsheet, printed out the time and pasted it on the boxes...
The money spent was even more.
But at least it was still normal price and still available. Compared with the shortage of masks, alcohol and food later, it was much better.
Besides, she has money now, so buying these things is not a problem.
After all these operations, she felt like she had become the heroine of a post-apocalyptic novel.
But unlike the heroine in the novel, having experienced the tragedy of the epidemic, she never thought of making a fortune from it.
She only hoped that she, an insignificant person who could not move the wheel of history, could do something.
By the time she had bought most of her things and spent most of her money, it was almost the end of the year.
