The Only Way Feasible

As the last word left her mouth, a sudden long sound of 'beep' emerged from nowhere, completely startling her.

Green Frog abruptly jumped out. A broad smile bloomed on her face.

"Finally finished?", she turned her head, looking toward the spinning icon with great expectation.

The initial number 99%, didn't know exactly since when had been turned into 100%.

Before she managed to fully enjoy this moment, another sound was heard. This time it was the familiar cheerful voice of Zhizhi.

[Scanning completed. Host, do you miss me~~?]

Green Frog :"…"

(°_°|||)

Who the hell miss you ....

Thinking that having a 'proper' conversation with Zhizhi was almost drain all her brain energy, she decided to just shut her mouth up.

…Save energy save the earth...

Zhizhi who didn't know what had just crossed inside of her host's mind, casually rambled on:

[As expected. Host, I really couldn't exterminate the virus. So for the time being, I just freeze it. But, I don't know for how long it can last. Later, maybe I won't be able to stop it.]

Upon hearing it, Green Frog scratched her head. Seemed like she needs to think of a countermeasure. Unfortunately, she didn't know what to do as it never happened before. Also, she lacked knowledge in this area. She wanted to ask for guidance, but whom she should ask? Even Zhizhi itself didn't know what to do…

"What should I do then?", she sighed deeply while facepalmed.

" Zhizhi, tell me what will happen if this situation continues? I mean, what if this story deviates from the outline until the last chapter?"

[Eh?! Deviates from the outline until the end?! Nononono! Host, you mustn't let it happen! The consequence will be heavy. It will count as the failure of the mission and the penalty is that you will be permanently stuck in this story. Forever never able to get out of this space.]

Zhizhi jumpily explained.

Such a consequence, Green Frog obviously didn't want that to happen at all!

"Then, Zhizhi, what do you think we should do..? With that unidentified virus in your core, I'm positive that I won't be able to clear this mission."

Green Frog heard Zhizhi hummed for some while.

[Ah! Host, I have an idea~~!]

An icon of yellow light bulb appeared before her eyes all of a sudden.

[I have an old data as a reference for you. I don't know if it works though. But you can at least try. If it doesn't work, I will show you another reference.]

Zhizhi's suggestion indeed piqued her interest. There was no harm in trying as long as she could clear her mission in the end.

And about her score, she wouldn't care the slightest bit…

"What is it? Hurry, tell me!", she urged.

[Okay! Wait for a minute, I'll show you~~]

After that approximately 32" transparent blue screen appeared. Green Frog patiently watched as some folders opened by itself.

About a minute later, the reference data was found and displayed.

[Here we go~~ host, please read it carefully and see if we can implement it.]

Zhizhi cheerfully precepted.

Green Frog lightly hmm-ed and started to read. But the more she read, the more her face distorted.

This data… she really didn't want to do this ah!

"Zhizhi, I don't want to do this plan. Discard it! Find another alternative!", she agitatedly commanded.

The reference data that Zhizhi suggested required her to take part directly in the plot. Meaning, she had to take a role and become one of the characters in the story!

[Ehhh~~? Why~~? Host, I really think that this way is feasible though. With you taking part directly, you can guide the main character. Precisely, to prevent her from getting out of the outline.]

Of course, as a system, Zhizhi couldn't see her host' expression at all. It was literally green that it couldn't be more green!

"The hell with that?! A guide, you said? Doesn't she already have one? It should be automatically added from the beginning, right?", she argued.

In fact, the main character a.k.a " Jing Yi " had already given a 'guide'. It would appear in some scenes to direct the main character to the right track. In this story, this guide mentioned would automatically appear in her dream, in the shape of silver light.

Zhizhi: (>.<;)a

[Aaa~ about that… actually… tee~hee~]

Didn't know why, hearing that 'tee~hee~' Green Frog felt that her heart instantly sank.

Can't be...

The 'guide' was actually broken?!!

And this baka-Zhizhi didn't even tell her??!!

At the very moment, Green Frog was so angry to the point of having an urge to chew rubber!

"Zhizhi… you… how… why… what…"

[Anoo~ actually, host, I forgot to tell you. The guide was already broken long ago. That's why I dragged the MC to this space. My purpose was to repair it. But then I found out that it was irreparable so I directly suggested you to rewrite the story. Too bad it was still a failure though…]

Green Frog : @#$!%!?

How could it forget something so important like this, for god sake!!!!

She really wanted to shout to heaven and wept…

Really… she wanted to complain about this wreck-system so much.

The literally withered Green Frog tried to compose herself. Got angry wouldn't solve her situation right now. But she also didn't want to take a role in a romance novel! Never! Thus, she coughed several times to adjust her tone and asked, slightly trembled,

"You said before that if it failed, you will show me another alternative. Then let me see it! I,myself, this great lady will choose the one most convenient."

Whatever but this one! Even if she was beaten to death, she didn't want to!

But later, Zhizhi's answer really scattered her hope into pieces.

[Nonononono can do! I said I will, but I never guarantee that it will be a good plan though! Seriously, host, you can't be picky at a time like this. According to my calculation, this plan has the highest possibility of success. 67%… It was 67%..! If you insisted to choose another plan, the possibility will be lower than that…]

Green Frog gasped in frantic. The highest possibility was only 67%

Although Zhizhi was an 'idiot', it wouldn't make a wrong basic calculation.

Was it meant that she doesn't have any other way except this?

…Dear Master, this poor disciple of yours didn't know what to say anymore.

TT_TT sob… sob…
