Using the Plot Correction Card (2)
When the two left the nursing home, there was some silence along the way.
Jiang Xiaoman was afraid that he would be depressed and wanted to comfort him, but she didn’t know where to start. After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoman said, “Listen, the environment here is very good. If we are free in the future, we can come here often to visit.”
“That would be nice.”
Jiang Xiaoman asked him again, “Do you have any regrets that you haven’t settled?”
… why did she ask such a weird question?
Yu Qingshi shook his head and asked her, “What about you? Is there anything you want to do but you can not?”
This sentence froze Jiang Xiaoman for a moment.
After being startled for a while, Jiang Xiaoman fell into thought, then shook her head, “No.”
There used to be.
The system terrorized her every day, telling her about things that she would do in the future. But until now, none of the things the system had scared her about happened.
She had money, family, a career – everything was going well for her, and it didn’t seem like she had any regrets left.
Jiang Xiaoman lowered her eyes and thought seriously in a rare moment of quiet.
She really had no more regrets.
In the evening, they returned to Yu Qingshi’s grandparents’ house.
His grandfather and grandmother were very kind. When they saw Jiang Xiaoman, they pulled her over to chat with her enthusiastically.
You can vaguely see the similarity between the two old timer’s facial features and Yu Qingshi’s; they were indeed family. Their whole family was blessed with good looks – Jiang Xiaoman became more certain of this when Yu Qingshi’s grandmother took her for a look around their villa and she saw oil paintings of Yu Qingshi’s grandfather and grandmother when they were young.
Jiang Xiaoman sincerely praised, “Grandma, you are so beautiful.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Grandma is old and not beautiful. It’s you little girl who’s pretty and beautiful. Everyday, that kid Qingshi…”
“I’m hungry!” Yu Qingshi interrupted them, “Grandma, I want to eat.”
“Fine, fine. Let’s eat, eat.”
Jiang Xiaoman had a hearty dinner.
Grandpa and grandma were very friendly and picked a lot of delicious dishes for her. Jiang Xiaoman couldn’t reject them, and ate until her stomach became round.
Yu Qingshi quietly kicked her under the table and whispered, “If you can’t eat it, you don’t have to force yourself, are you stupid?”
She was not stupid! This meal was too delicious!
Jiang Xiaoman finished eating her last bite, then put down her chopsticks. She was really full and couldn’t eat any more; she would throw up if she tried.
Yu Qingshi’s grandfather and grandmother did not force her anymore, and asked the maid to take her to the room to rest.
After the busy day, Jiang Xiaoman was lying in the bathtub and taking a bath while relaxing.
She seemed to suddenly remember something and asked the system, “System, your plot correction card won’t expire, right?”
“… it won’t.”
“Can I use it to change anything I want?”
As soon as she mentioned it, the system immediately became excited and asked her, “Host, what do you want to do?”
Jiang Xiaoman didn’t know either.
It was just that when Yu Qingshi asked her if she had any regrets, Jiang Xiaoman subconsciously thought about this card.
She had thought of multiple ways to use it, but it didn’t seem to be of much use to her.
But at the same time, she felt that it was a huge waste to keep such a precious card unused.
After thinking about it, she took the card out and took another look.
The system continued to explain, “This card does not have that much authority. It cannot directly change the main storyline, and can only make slight changes. Host, if you haven’t thought of a good use for it, it’s better to leave it alone…”
“Is there still such a thing as the main storyline?”
…there was none left.
Wuu wuu wuu, it also knew that!
The system gritted its teeth and said, “Although there is no more main storyline, there are still restrictions. You can’t use it to destroy heaven and earth.”
“Who wants to destroy heaven and earth?” Jiang Xiaoman rolled her eyes and sighed, “I just suddenly remembered you helped me save my uncle. That means, the fate of an insignificant character like my uncle can be changed at will, right?”
“……Yes.”
Because in the script the system received Jiang Xing’s existence was just a single throwaway line, a backstory, his data could be modified right away.
The system still had this level of authority.
But it didn’t expect that the butterfly effect would bring about such a big change.
Eh, wait, what are you planning to do, host!?
The system suddenly realized that its host might not just be simply asking about that matter.
Jiang Xiaoman blinked and said, “Then I want to do it too.”
The system said urgently, “Host, whose fate do you want to change? You must think about it clearly! If it exceeds what’s permitted, this card will be rendered invalid! And although the main storyline has collapsed, the order of the world is still there. If you change someone’s fate rashly, there will be a chain effect, and the consequences are immeasurable!”
“I know, I know.” Jiang Xiaoman waved her hand and scratched her head, “I just wanted to know if your card is reliable. I just wanted to try, I thought…”
“What are you thinking?”
“I want to see if I can bring Mama Jiang Yue back to life.”
“???”
“You don’t have her in your script.”
“That’s not wrong…”
“So if I use it on her, then it should have the highest authority, right?”
“In principle, you can think of it like that…”
“Then let me try.”
“Host, calm down! She’s already dead!”
“Your script didn’t say that she’s dead.”
“…”
Jiang Xiaoman had also thought about it for a long time before finally deciding to use it today.
Grandma’s health was getting worse, and now she liked to talk about the past, which made Jiang Xiaoman a little moved.
Anyways, it was useless to just leave the card unused, so why not give it a try? If it was used on others, it might fail, but if it was used on someone who didn’t exist in the script, then if it worked, it would 100% be a success!
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it failed, it was fine. But if it was successful…
Whoa, then this book might have to be rewritten!
The system was still wailing, persuading her to think twice. It was a pity that Jiang Xiaoman insisted on doing things her way, and a mere system could not stop her.
