Chapter 20: Want to Join Us?
Jiang Xingni ignored the several obviously provocative posts below and clicked on the first one.
[Li Tao, is there any possibility that Jiang Xingni, who has just appeared, will join the main cast?]
0L: No arguing or comparing, this is purely a rational discussion. What are the chances of Xingxing joining the main characters?
1L: I clicked in out of curiosity, saw the stars and left. I thought it was a truly rational person, but it turns out to be another Jiang Xingni fan.
2L: To be honest, it's hard for anyone to have watched all the latest episodes and still be impressed by Jiang Xingni, right?
3L; Indeed, if things continue this way, Jiang Xingni will either be a tragic, unrequited love or a member of the main cast.
4L: Why can't the person in front be both the tragic white moonlight who dies young and a member of the main characters?
5L: If the old thief really writes it like that... I can't even imagine how much the forum will explode.
6L: Can you please stop talking nonsense, fans? It's like you're saying Jiang Xingni is very popular.
7L: Back to the point! I bet Jiang Xingni will definitely join the main characters!
8L: To be honest, following the old thief's pattern, there will definitely be a killing intent next. If they don't die, they are the main characters; if they die, they are the white moonlight.
9L: LOL, those who understood it are crying.
10L: It reminds me of when I was following the manga... My favorite character died so suddenly, haha.
11L: That old thief wouldn't just kill someone for no reason. Let's see if there's anything on Jiang Xingni that's worth killing.
12L: First nomination, does nobody really think Jiang Xingni's ability is particularly useful? As long as she's around, and if this ability is further improved, there's basically no problem that can trap anyone!
13L: Similarly, with such strong abilities, if the developers don't remove her from this instance, it could easily affect the game's balance in the future.
14L: What do you mean by affecting balance? This isn't a game... I'm speechless.
15L: That's the truth, okay? If Jiang Xing could see through every secret with just a glance, wouldn't it be meaningless?
16L: It's reasonable to speculate that even if Jiang Xingni joins the main cast later, he'll probably be the kind of character who's constantly sidelined or disappears from the public eye...
17L: There's no way around it, this ability is just too OP. I bet Jiang Xingni will die right at the end of this arc and become the white moonlight that the main characters cherish. In fanfiction, he will always be saved by the original character and then use this to increase the main characters' favorability and become a stepping stone to join the main characters!
18L: Those of you who were worried about Jiang Xingni's abilities, did you miss the post-credits scene in the last episode? From Xingxing's perspective, it was truly a dazzling display of gold... I can't imagine how I, as a star, could distinguish one thing from another...
19L: ? ? Get out of here, you party member!
20L: Get out of here, you idiot! +1. We stars are not your costumes. And if you were, would you even deserve it?
…………
42L: ? No, I only said one sentence, and Jiang Xingni is just a two-dimensional character anyway. Why are you Xingni fans so agitated? I can't be bothered with you.
43L: I'm too lazy to even reply to this post. Who broke my defenses?
44L: This thread has gone off-topic again... From the star's perspective, it is indeed a dazzling golden light. I don't know how the star could see any connection between things in this blindingly bright light.
45L: To put it simply, Xingxing, you are an exceptionally outstanding baby with exceptionally good eyesight...
46L: So is anyone going to continue discussing the post title?
47L: Isn't this what we're discussing? Since Jiang Xingni's "seeing" is not a direct answer, but requires his own reasoning and analysis, there are reasons to make up for it later.
48L: LOL, the person upstairs is absolutely right. If there's ever a plot point where Xingbao needs to become less intelligent, they can just say it's because she couldn't figure it out.
49L: Vote for Xingbao! We'll make Xingbao a member of the main cast! Otherwise, the old thief wouldn't have gone to such lengths to set up so much information for Xingbao!
50L: Haha, she hasn't even finished one episode, and she's only appeared in a few chapters? And you're already so sure she's part of the main characters?
51L: I don't care, does anyone else think that the interaction between Xingxing and Song Song is really sweet?
52L: ? Can you please not drag my Song Song into your celebrity stuff? Are you sick in the head? A washed-up celebrity trying to ride on someone else's coattails.
53L: LOL, if it weren't for us stars, your Song dynasty would have been dragged away by darkness long ago when you were in the ancestral hall.
54L: Are you crazy? How long are you fans going to keep nagging about this trivial matter? Besides, our Song Song isn't some weakling. Who knows if your help is actually holding her back? Maybe Song Song can make it even without you fans, haha.
……
The next few hundred floors were filled with arguments, which gave Jiang Xingni a real headache.
This post, judging from its title, should have been the most peaceful one yet, so why is it arguing so fiercely?
The system's tone was much calmer than Jiang Xingni's: [This is a necessary condition for becoming a popular character!]
Every popular character has gone through this growth process!
Popular characters are destined for fierce battles!
The girl was silent for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Are you sure I'll be a popular character, and not someone everyone hates?"
The system fell into an eerie silence; it stopped speaking.
Jiang Xingni didn't take those words seriously. The appearance of new characters always causes controversy, especially since all four main characters were already together when they appeared. After the first episode, most people need to get used to it.
She calmly analyzed the situation in her mind; the timing of her appearance was ingenious, neither good nor bad.
If no new main characters appear in the future, she will bear most of the arguments.
If there are new members, then Jiang Xingni is lucky to join now—no matter what, there will always be someone else to take her place.
Although she didn't agree with most of what the system said, she did agree with the part about "bloodshed and violence".
It's better to spark a debate in a forum than to have something happen but cause no ripples.
At least the former gave Jiang Xingni a chance to save herself, while the latter was like stagnant water, offering no opportunity for self-rescue.
Moreover, the words in the forum did give Jiang Xingni a lot of useful information—not the bugs about her abilities, but the fact that she might have to face another risk before joining the main characters.
Jiang Xingni calmly assessed the situation in his mind—but it was worth it.
"Knock knock knock".
Jiang Xingnian heard a soft tapping sound on the glass.
She turned her head to look at the source of the sound. Pei Zhaoye was being held by the collar of his clothes and hung outside the window by He Jingtong, who was smiling and tapping on the glass with his knuckles.
"Would you like to join us, ma'am?" he asked silently, and Jiang Xingni could see their mouths moving.
Jiang Xingni: ...
If she remembered correctly, her room was on the seventeenth floor.
