CHAPTER 401: CHAPTER 179: THE FEMALE LEAD’S AUNT (PART 17)

Outsiders didn’t know the whole story, but He Tiantian was crystal clear.

The notebook stolen by Zhao Yongkang did contain material on holographic technology, but it was terribly incomplete and fragmented.

Under normal circumstances, this data couldn’t have reconstructed the complete holographic technology.

However, Leng Mo’s situation was obviously anything but normal.

He was the male lead, equipped with an invincible "Protagonist Halo."

And the setting of this novel indeed portrayed the male lead as someone with exceptional abilities from an illustrious background.

But He Tiantian, a villain destined to be a sacrificial lamb, was in possession of a "Golden Finger" that surpassed the male lead’s. The world consciousness surely wouldn’t stand for it.

Sure enough, He Tiantian merely provided some incomplete data and the male lead obtained the entire technology.

He Tiantian seriously suspected that even if the segment about Zhao Yongkang stealing the data didn’t exist, the Heavenly Dao would still arrange a "miracle" for the male lead.

Such as a new discovery by the research team sponsored by Leng’s company.

Or, maybe just copy He Tiantian, creating a miraculous chat group for the male lead.

The only difference was that He Tiantian’s group was fictional; she herself was the real bigshot.

Whereas the "Golden Finger" bestowed upon the male lead Leng Mo by the Heavenly Dao was quite real, perhaps even delivering some transcendent technology from beyond space and time.

At the very least, it had to be enough to overpower "He Sitian," the minor boss villain.

He Tiantian: ... Alright then, you are the Heavenly Dao of this Small World, what you say goes.

Actually, at the very beginning, when He Tiantian intentionally exposed her flaws and let Zhao Yongkang fall into the pit, there was an element of probing involved.

She understood the power of the plot and how domineering the world consciousness could be.

But she wanted to find out where the "bottom line" was.

Now that He Tiantian had discovered it, damn it, there was no bottom line at all; it was utterly ruthless.

How this Small World’s consciousness favored the protagonist so blatantly, forsaking all reason and principles just to empower the protagonist.

And He Tiantian, having offended the male lead and continually challenging him as the sacrificial lamb, seemed unable to resist the overpowering force of the plot.

Was she destined to lose out after all?

No way!

He Tiantian was a thinker, always planning three steps ahead. From the moment she decided to oppose the male lead, she had already devised a countermeasure.

Indeed, the protagonist was the darling of the Heavenly Dao, with a colossal Protagonist Halo.

But the thing was, this Small World wasn’t just about the male lead; there was also a female lead.

Moreover, this was a contemporary female-centric web novel, which, in some sense, meant it was a story where the female lead held the stage.

In other words, the female lead’s position was a notch above the male lead’s.

The Protagonist Halo that the female lead possessed was even more formidable than the male lead’s.

He Tiantian made friends with the female lead in advance and subtly steered her views on love, even quietly providing her with the Secret Martial Arts Manual.

A love that thrives on torment.

Torment wasn’t necessarily just the male lead abusing the female lead; it could also be the female lead tormenting the male lead.

Deep love didn’t necessarily require being together; unrequited love could also be a profound affection.

He Tiantian was also actively mentoring the female lead, hoping to turn her into a true Empress.

She did this because she liked the female lead, admired her, and couldn’t bear to see such a lovely girl undergo a tragic fate.

But it also served her own agenda; under the pressure of the plot, "He Sitian," a mere sacrificial lamb, had no chance of defeating the male lead.

But the female lead could!

He Tiantian’s plan was for the female lead to take a stand and directly confront the male lead.

If the female lead won, not only could she change her tragic fate, but it would also ensure that He Tiantian, a sacrificial lamb, thrived.

In some sense, He Tiantian was also using the female lead.

However, He Tiantian wasn’t secretive about it.

When she brought Su Muxue into the company, nurturing her heavily, supporting her rise to become a corporate Empress, He Tiantian had spoken frankly:

"Muxue, you don’t have to feel embarrassed or indebted to me."

"I’m helping you, but really, I’m also helping myself!"

"I don’t know if you feel this premonition, as if our fates are predetermined. Sometimes, no matter how hard we struggle, we seem unable to escape!"

"But you are the biggest variable. As long as you change, me, my parents, and your grandmother, everyone’s fate can be reversed."

"I want you to be someone who can control their own destiny. Only if you stand tall will all of us live better lives!"

Su Muxue didn’t quite understand, after all, who would voluntarily consider: the world I live in is not real, but a censored contemporary web novel.

But Su Muxue could comprehend it, because she indeed had an inexplicable intuition.
