Chapter 51 : Patron, Please Keep Me End (2/2)

Her departure caused the fans who had liked her for these 20 years to be utterly heartbroken. There were many well-wishes for her.

Even if she wasn’t in the entertainment circle, her fanbase wasn’t inferior to that of any celebrity’s. In fact, she had diehard, loyal fans from many circles.

She left behind many legends. Regardless of whether it was within the entertainment circle, the literary circle or the business circle, there were legends about her.

She was unbridled and arrogant but she had the ability to be so.

She was Jiang Wan, their most beloved Little Meatball.

……

When Shi Sheng returned to the System space, she sat a bit unhappily in front of that crystal book.

[Host, are you unhappy?] There were actually some traces of feeling in that icy-cold robotic voice.

Shi Sheng propped up her jaw. She pretty much had ‘I am very unhappy. Hurry up and coax me!’ written on her face.

[Does the Host feel any attachment to that world after living there for so long?]

…Silence. A deathly silence.

[Host, can you at least say something to prove you’re still alive?]

Shi Sheng moved her eyes for a bit before shooting out words like a machine gun. “I haven’t opened that new hole yet. Not happy! Can you send me back and let me open it up? I thought about this one for ages, it’s a shame I didn’t get to publish it.”

[……] ‘Hurhur. With Host’s character, how can she become unhappy because of a person? I really… feel like I’ve fucked a dog…’

System decided to ignore this crazy Host.

Data appeared on the screen:

Name: Shi Sheng

Morality Points: -100,000

Mission Rank: F

Mission Points: 88

Contribution Points: 3,500

Hidden Quest: Complete (Due to the Host using a shortcut, the reward will be halved.)

Hidden Quest Reward: 2,000 Contribution Points and a Special Consumable: “Gap In Time (1-time use)”.

Shi Sheng “…” ‘Shortcuts… Your mom, is the money I make not money anymore?! And why have my Morality Points reduced again?! System, aren’t you going to explain this to me(bbb)?’

[Host, you started writing a total of 28 stories in this world. Of them, 22 were dropped. One book reduces your Morality Points by 100. I already rounded it down to 2,000. This time, you earned 1,000 Morality Points so after cancelling it off, it is still a reduction of 1,000. Do you have any other questions?]

Shi Sheng “…” ‘*flip table* You didn’t tell me castrating books would reduce my morality points!’

[Do you wish to check what happened after you left?]

“What would I do that for? Fuck off!” Shi Sheng gave a cussed a reply. She glared at that ‘Morality Points’ section, feeling very annoyed.

[Do you wish to enter the next mission?]

[Initialising transfer…]

‘Fuck! System can you not just decide things on your own like this?! I can get angry too, okay?!’

[1] This can mean a) writing cliff-hangers, b) leaving plot holes unexplained or c) trolling. I think option a is the most likely but I’m leaving these here just because I’m not 100% sure.

[2] This means the book was dropped by her. I thought it was hilarious to leave it like this. If editor-san decides it can stay in, then it stays in. *Editor-san gives both thumbs up.
