"After you become a movie star, you can exchange your points for longevity." Mallory remembered what Vincent had said to him.
"Yes, but do you know how much time it takes to become a movie star? Will you be able to live that long? Can your increasingly frail body sustain you for the rest of the show? And, points for life, a million points for a year of life, can you afford to exchange them?" Reaper asked Mallory a few questions back.
"One million points to exchange for a year of life?" Mallory frowned.
In Film City, the hardest thing to get is points, let alone a million points, so many actors struggle to earn enough for the first thousand points.
Mallory has been busy with so many scenes, and so far, there are still only double digits in the account.
If Death isn't lying, it looks like the movie stars in Film City exchanging points for life expectancy is just a gimmick.
"You can not believe me, do not take me away and continue to go to Film City for the so-called cell repair, but, after you leave this time, my energy is no longer enough to support you to come in again, I will soon perish in this ruin, you will forever lose the opportunity for me to help you steal life resources in the script space and really return to the old age. "
"This decision is up to you, only one chance, your choice."
After Death said these words, his body became more transparent, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
"How do I take you out? Send your soul on me? Don't even think about it." Mallory had to ask what was going on before making a decision.
"I'm an AI program, a completely different type of being from you, how can I parasitize inside a living organism like you? I can only transform into an APP and parasitize in your wristwatch, as long as later when I parasitize, you choose to agree to install it and it will be done, I will not have any effect on your body, but I am the one who can find a way to steal the life resources from the script to feed you back."
"Think about it, your watch is bound to you, can only rely on your bio-energy drive, you die, your watch will be invalid, I will also have nothing to attach, equivalent to also die, we are symbiotic coexistence relationship. Therefore, I will only try to keep you alive longer, absolutely no harm to your heart." Death explained a few words to Mallory.
"That would be something to consider, but what's in it for you?" Mallory did not believe that Death would make a deal without benefits.
"I can continue to survive! This is the biggest benefit, continue to stay in this waste book space, sooner or later I will run out of energy smoke, this reason is not enough for me to make this deal with you?" Reaper could guess what Mallory was worried about.
"Okay, you come in, I'll give you that chance, but if you have other intentions or can't steal the life resources for me, then I reserve the right to unload you at any time." Mallory held out his wrist.
"If the watch prevents you from installing it, you click on the blank space of the watch's screen 37 times in a row, no more and no less, after ten seconds, the watch will automatically enter developer mode, after entering developer mode, you turn on that option 'Allow installation of programs from unknown sources', then ignore the back Those pages that pop up, just confirm, confirm, confirm, and I'll be able to install it in." After Death said a few words to Mallory, he turned into a cloud of green characters and drilled into Mallory's watch.
"Warning! Warning! There is an unknown program attempting to perform an installation operation."
"For security reasons, your watch has been set to prohibit the installation of applications of unknown origin."
Sure enough, a few lines of warning popped up in the watch screen.
Mallory followed the Reaper's words and clicked 37 times in a row on the blank space of the watch's screen, and after waiting another ten seconds, the watch's interface went into developer mode.
One of the options inside was 'Allow installation of programs from unknown sources'.
After turning this option on, Mallory received a few more lines of warning.
"Allowing the installation of programs from unknown sources may cause the system to be damaged, or become unstable, are you sure you want to continue?"
Mallory hesitated a bit, and after a while, clicked OK.
"An unknown program has been detected that is trying to perform an installation operation, this program may contain some kind of unknown Trojan backdoor, which may cause serious damage to the system, or even lead to system crash and hardware damage, are you sure you want to continue?"
Mallory hesitated again.
This feels like the watch is going to be scrapped rhythm?
Should we continue to be sure or not?
The heart is a little panic ah!
Touching his pale face.
Mallory gritted his teeth and clicked OK.
"An unknown program has been detected that is illegally obtaining ROOT permissions, which will lead to a series of extremely serious problems, are you sure ..."
These lines of prompts hadn't finished prompting when the screen of the watch suddenly went black.
"The system crashed?"
Mallory was dumbfounded.
It's played out big time!
"The system is rebooting."
"Underlying data brushing in progress ..."
"Please do not perform any operations, or the system will never start again."
A dozen seconds later, a slow progress bar appeared in the screen of the watch.
"Grrrr! This Reaper is a rogue software! Did I fall for it?" Mallory was a little worried.
"Forget it, how much worse can it be now that I'm in this situation?" Mallory found a stone in the ruins that wasn't too badly broken and sat down, slowly waiting for that progress bar to go through.
...
An hour or so later.
The progress bar finally reached 100 percent.
The screen of the watch returned to the desktop.
The theme of the desktop turned black and red, and the background image turned into a cloak-wearing Grim Reaper.
Several of the original apps were still there, and then there was an additional app for the Shinigami avatar.
The desktop theme cannot be changed.
The Grim Reaper App can not be uninstalled.
This is fucking rogue software!
Tap on the Reaper avatar app, there are only two items displayed inside.
Life resource points balance: 0 points.
Cumulative exchange of life resource value: 0 seconds.
There is also a description file to open.
"By hunting the monsters or NPCs in the script, there is a certain chance to get Life Resource Points."
"Life resource points can be used to exchange for life force to reverse inject into the owner and extend the owner's life in the form of bio-energy."
"I hope this isn't a trick to play on me." Mallory's expression finally relaxed a bit when he saw these options.
Otherwise it would be installing a rogue software into the watch for nothing and watching it bully other good people APP.
There is a simple and straightforward way to find out if you've been cheated.
That is to try to kill a few NPCs and see if you can get life resource points.
Of course, it does not exclude the possibility that the screen shows obtained and redeemed, but in reality there is no life-extending effect.
The matter has come to this, there is no point in regretting.
Let's try it out.
