At 3:07 in the morning, the freezer rang by itself. Bankrupt programmer Lin Ye applied for the night shift at the convenience store "Node 197" in order to pay off his debts and to find out the truth behind his brother Lin Yuan's disappearance six years ago. Late one night, a copy of the "Staff Rules" appeared out of thin air on the checkout counter. It was handwritten in ink and the words were skewed: "If you hear someone calling your full name after closing, don't look back and just say 'Welcome.'" For every rule that is followed, five hundred yuan will be credited to the account; violators will be responsible for the consequences. As the codes emerged one by one, he gradually saw the background of this store: there were 196 stores ahead, and the 197th employee was looking at him; Sister Zhou's hesitation, the letter from the head office, the secrets of the midnight workshop, and the account book left by his brother - all pointed to the "code" itself. When Article 0 of the code appeared on the blank page, "The 197th employee who does not exist in our store is looking at you." Lin Ye understood: the first step to survive within the rules is to learn not to look back.
Three years later, it's three o'clock in the morning. The freezer is still the same freezer, and the code is still the same code - but there is an additional voice in the code. Lin Ye said "Welcome", and his brother's voice came from the other side of the paper: "Thank you for your patronage." The book was finished. Thank you to every reader who has followed me here. From the sound of the refrigerator in the first chapter to the thank you for your patronage in the last chapter, you have accompanied Lin Ye to complete the journey from a follower to a writer. A new book is being prepared, see you soon!
Half a year later, Lin Ye became the new "Editor-in-Chief" and rebuilt the node system: rules serve people. There is no war in this chapter, only a reopened convenience store and a new code of law - but I know that this is the most difficult "post-war reconstruction" to write. Rules can be tools, but they cannot be masters. Lin Ye opened the door and the light came on. Please vote for recommendations, the last chapter!
Xiaoman was "drawn alive". Her soul was once "stored" by the code, but now it is "returned" by the new rules. The first new rule: "The clerk has the right to get off work." - From "the clerk must comply" to "the clerk has the right to get off work", this is the news Lin Ye writes to the world. The sunshine outside the window is just right, and the signboard of "Good Neighbor Convenience Store" is shining. After crying this chapter, there are two chapters left, don't leave. Please collect it!
The mother book was rewritten as an ordinary printing press, spitting out all the swallowed codes and memories. The people who were swallowed into the code six years ago came back one by one. Lin Ye said, "Brother, you are off work" - this time, you are really off work. When writing the demise of the villain, I didn't write the battle scene, I just wrote it "becomes an ordinary printing press". I think this is more cruel and gentle. Please vote!
Article 197 was promulgated: "Anyone has the right to leave the code." Lin Yuan walked out from page 197 of the new book - he was free, but chose to stay as a gatekeeper. The word "Lin Yuan" lies quietly on the paper, like a person falling asleep. This is the chapter that made me want to cry the most in the whole book. Rules should not be cages, rules should be doors. Please follow up and read, the ending will come soon.
Lin Ye vs. Mother Book: Rules versus Rules. Use the logical loophole in "Code Article 0" to counterattack - Article 0 "The 197th employee who does not exist in our store is looking at you." Who is that "non-existent employee"? The answer is the breaking point. The highest state of rules gaming: defeat your opponent using his rules. The faceless customer came, and Lin Ye said, "It's time to get off work." Please vote for recommendation!
With 100% mastery, you get the right to promulgate the code. The first new rule: "Rules must serve people." - This is where the theme of the book begins. Lin Ye wrote names at the door of the convenience store all night. Every name was a person who had been swallowed and should go home. When I wrote this chapter, I felt that I was not writing a novel, but a ticket home for all those trapped by the rules. Please vote!
The strange rumors broke out in full force, Lao Chen led the real power to blockade, and the whole city entered "code time". Writing a group scene is both the most tiring and the most satisfying: the figures gathering from all directions in the darkness are the ceiling of horror in the book. But don't forget, the darker the moment, the closer it is to dawn. Lin Ye stood in the center of the storm with only a pen in his hand. Please collect and read!
Lin Ye refused. The mother book goes berserk, swallowing up all the node codes, and the city's ghost stories get out of control. This is the most tragic chapter in the book: one person's choice plunges the entire city into chaos. But Lin Yuan's sentence "I am Rule 197" - the elder brother took the rules written by his younger brother and turned them into his own. Tears are disappointing. Please vote for recommendations, the next chapter is a storm in the city.
Negotiating with the mother book: exchanging "new rules" for the older brother. There is no table on the negotiating table, only a talking book. When I write dialogue, I try to make every sentence sound like "rules and regulations" - negotiation itself is also a game of rules. When the figure in the old jacket stepped out of the darkness, you should have stopped breathing just like me. Please read it!
