QT: The Rescue Of The Miserable Bigshots Chapter 348 - 11.21

"What happens next?"

Jiang Jiamian’s attention wandered as he chatted with the system, occasionally checking on Li Zhe’s current situation. While recounting the plot to Shen Muzhou aloud, his multitasking inevitably caused him to stumble.

"What happened next?" Shen Muzhou repeated.

Jiang Jiamian blinked. "Where was I?"

Shen Muzhou: "..."

He sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "The apartnt on the fifth floor."

"Ah?"

Jiang Jiamian blushed faintly. He suddenly rembered Qi Yan punishing him right outside the apartnt door. He coughed lightly. "What happened next was... I pinned Qi Yan against the wall..."

Shen Muzhou didn’t move.

Jiang Jiamian continued speaking enthusiastically, the words flowing freely, until he suddenly realized that Shen Muzhou was simply sitting there with his fingers resting on the edge of the table. He hadn’t typed a single word.

Instead, he was staring at Jiang Jiamian with an ambiguous expression, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Jiang Jiamian felt a flicker of guilt under that gaze, but he quickly lifted his chin defiantly. "Write it! What are you sitting there for? Surely you can keep up with my speaking speed?"

If he weren’t too lazy to divide the text into paragraphs, correct punctuation, and fix typos afterward, he wouldn’t need Shen Muzhou to type for him at all.

Shen Muzhou smiled slightly. "It’s not that I don’t want to write. It’s just that this part, and even the part before it, already feels... how should I put it... compared to the earlier developnt, there’s a strong sense of inconsistency."

He paused briefly before continuing. "I think this section of the plot isn’t worth keeping as it is. It should probably be changed."

Jiang Jiamian: "..."

Heh.

"And how should I change it?" Jiang Jiamian asked politely.

His tone sounded humble, but in truth he had no intention of actually listening to the suggestion.

After all, only he knew that the entire story was real, except for one tiny detail: he had secretly switched the positions of the top and bottom.

So even an idiot could guess what Shen Muzhou ant by ’a sense of inconsistency’.

That was the only thing he had changed.

As expected, Shen Muzhou thought for a mont before speaking. "Based on the previous developnt, it was always Qi Yan who showed possessiveness, aggression, and an almost frantic desire for Jiang Jiamian in the story."

He cleared his throat awkwardly. "So when he followed Jiang Jiamian ho and entered that stairwell, the one who would most likely act first... would definitely be Qi Yan."

Jiang Jiamian: "..."

Am I the author, or are you the author?

Hmm?

I’ll make you the bottom!

Even if it’s only possible in writing!

Jiang Jiamian said through gritted teeth. "I’m the author. You’re just the one writing it down, okay? I decide how the plot goes. I’m the god of this story, so of course I get the final say, understand?"

He paused for a mont, clearly very sure of himself. "As for Qi Yan, I want him to be delicate, soft, the kind of person who looks like he’d be easy to push down. That’s the whole point. That’s the character I want. And about that earlier part... so what if he took the initiative? That doesn’t prove anything. He could just be an active bottom. Who said the one taking the initiative has to be the top?"

Shen Muzhou: "..."

After a long silence, Shen Muzhou said quietly, "But it’s not just inconsistent. It’s also a bit illogical... Readers might find it contradictory, or feel that the plot is strange."

Jiang Jiamian looked at him expressionlessly. "Are you teaching how to write now?"

Shen Muzhou choked. "No. Just a suggestion. From a reader’s perspective."

At that mont, a notification suddenly rang in Jiang Jiamian’s mind.

Inside the quick transmigration chat group, a ssage appeared.

[Group Leader: New plot is inconsistent. Revise it. @Lone Commander]

Jiang Jiamian imdiately checked the group.

The ssage ca from the group leader after reading the text that the system had automatically converted, word by word, from Shen Muzhou’s typing into the group files.

This was the first ti the group leader had ever given feedback on his novel.

Seeing Shen Muzhou looking slightly frustrated, Jiang Jiamian knew there was no point arguing further. Instead, he shifted his attention and obediently replied in the group.

[Lone Commander: May I ask how the new plot is inconsistent? I humbly request the group leader’s guidance.]

Jiang Jiamian knew that the group leader could only see the novel text uploaded by the system. He couldn’t see Jiang Jiamian’s real situation in this small world, or Shen Muzhou sitting right in front of him.

So the comnt was most likely just a coincidence.

Still, Jiang Jiamian was curious.

Was the group leader thinking the sa thing as Shen Muzhou?

After all...

They were essentially the sa person.

[Group Leader: The roles have been reversed.]

Even though they were the sa person, the group leader’s tone was completely different.

Cold. Distant. Authoritative.

Every word was concise and sharp, without a single unnecessary syllable.

He carried an overwhelming aura of dominance and control that Shen Muzhou simply didn’t possess.

Shen Muzhou, after all, was currently stuck in the role of a butler. A re typist wasn’t exactly in a position to criticize the author.

[Lone Commander: The roles have been reversed? I don’t understand. Please explain.]

The group leader’s response was icy.

[Group Leader: Don’t play dumb. You know it yourself. Change it.]

Jiang Jiamian: "..."

Hmph.

What arrogance!

What unbelievable arrogance!

If I refuse to change it, what can you do about it?

What irritated Jiang Jiamian even more was that ever since the group leader had started reading his novel, the previously noisy group chat had gone completely silent.

The two friends who used to chat with him had both vanished the mont the group leader appeared.

Jiang Jiamian had originally wanted to turn his experiences into a novel and discuss it happily with his friends in the group.

But now?

They had disappeared the instant the group leader started reading.

Outrageous.

Absolutely outrageous.
