When Miao Dong woke up, the world was not dark yet. She was in the infirmary. There was no one in the empty room.

She felt weak all over and struggled to sit up before she saw a bottle of glucose and a note on the bedside table.

It was left behind by Shen Ming. His handwriting was crooked and ugly.

Miao Dong had to read it very carefully to recognize what was written.

“The teacher in the infirmary said that you have hypoglycemia. Remember to drink the glucose. I’m going to class.”

Miao Dong picked up the glucose and went to unscrew the cap. Only then did she realize that the cap had been unscrewed. She didn’t expect him to have such a considerate side. He could even notice the details of unscrewing the cap.

Miao Dong praised Shen Ming in her heart before drinking half a bottle of glucose.

Although it was very sweet, she was in a good mood. It was true that sweet drinks could make people feel good.

Just as Miao Dong was enjoying her leisure time, the system in her mind suddenly sounded anxious.

“Host, you’re in big trouble!”

Miao Dong didn’t care about the words “big trouble” at all. She still asked leisurely, “Eh, System, why did you only come out now? You don’t know what I experienced just now! I can tell you about Shen Ming…”

“Host!” The system was extremely anxious, but Miao Dong didn’t care at all, so it interrupted her. “Host, if I hadn’t forcefully activated the interference button just now, you would have already gotten into trouble!”

“Interference button?” Miao Dong was a little stunned. “You mean I suddenly fainted because you activated the interference button?”

“That’s right!”

Miao Dong was even more confused. “What do you mean? Why?”

The System roared, “Host, how many times do I have to say it? You’re in trouble!”

Only then did Miao Dong react. The system seemed to have been saying that she had gotten into trouble. “What happened?”

The system explained, “The characters in the book don’t know that they are just characters made up from words. They only need to follow their own character settings and complete the development of the story. However, the host forcefully told them the meaning of their actions and the final outcome. You are breaking the rules of the book!”

Miao Dong suddenly remembered that the first time she felt her ears ring was because she told Shen Ming that he would be used by Shen Jin in the end. That was why her words were silent at that time, and she couldn’t hear anything.

For the first time, Miao Dong clearly realized that she was someone who knew the ending. She was revisiting the development of the story, but the characters in the story were just fictional characters who couldn’t see the ending.

She asked in a daze, “Then why didn’t you stop me earlier? I remember that I didn’t hear your voice at that time.”

The System was helpless. “I’ve been trying to contact you, but the brain waves between us seem to have been deliberately blocked. I’ve been talking to you, but you haven’t received anything. I only activated the interference button because I really had no choice.”

Miao Dong asked, “What are the consequences of activating the interference button?”

Pressing a button that should be saved until the critical moment, would inevitably come at a cost.

The system said mercilessly, “The activation of the interference button will deduct the host’s health points. Moreover, according to the number of times it is used, the deducted health points will only increase.”

Miao Dong was shocked. “What! My health points?! How much was deducted?!”

She just spoke a few extra words, why should she have to risk her life?!

The system said, “200 health points were deducted.”

“So much!” Miao Dong was aggrieved. “This is the first time. I don’t know the rules. Can you deduct less?”

The system said coldly, “No. Host, there’s another thing that’s even more terrifying than these things.”

“What is it?” Miao Dong asked.

The system projected everyone’s persona in the original book into Miao Dong’s mind.

It said, “Before the first appearance of the characters in the book, what they did was random. However, no matter what they did, it would not change their final character setting. However, because of your appearance, they changed. Their persona also deviated to a certain extent.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” The more Miao Dong listened, the more confused she became.

“It’s the opposite…”
