Chapter 172: The Core Differences Between Male and Female Channels (Part )

"Huh?" Chu Lu looked at Wei Jin in surprise, and for a moment he thought he had seen it wrong.

Just when he was about to ask Qin Su, Wei Jin suddenly came to her senses. She didn't seem to notice the change in herself. She stared at Chu Lu, a little overwhelmed, and asked in disbelief: "You still don't love me! How can you not love me! I've done so much for you! Are you a beast?"

Chu Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "First of all, I didn't ask you to help me become a Buddha. Secondly, you have bad intentions. You did this just because of some unspeakable secret. Finally, just because you have done a lot for me doesn't mean I have to fall in love with you. If love between men and women works like this, there wouldn't be so many honest people being played with."

Wei Jin became more and more angry. Her face was ferocious and her nose was wrinkled, making her look more beastly. She walked towards Chu Lu and cursed: "You rotten bastard! I'll give you face..."

She suddenly flashed again.

This time the flickering was much larger, and it looked like an old TV with a bad signal. She turned into a blurry ball of light and shadow, and it took her three to five seconds to recover.

Wei Jin naturally noticed such a huge change.

She lowered her head to look at her fingertips that were still twisting and changing, and her face, which was originally full of anger, turned pale in an instant.

"How could this happen? How could this happen! I haven't failed yet, I haven't failed yet!" she muttered to herself in horror.

Chu Lu became more and more confused and asked in confusion: "What happened to you just now?"

Wei Jin raised her head suddenly, and she looked at Chu Lu, as if she was looking at a life-saving antidote. She said in panic and urgency: "Fall in love with me! Fall in love with me quickly!"

"Ah?" Chu Lu looked confused.

"Fall in love with me, please. Fall in love with me!" Wei Jin approached with a pleading look on his face.

As she got closer, she began to flicker again.

The flickering became more and more severe, her face began to distort, and the black and white snowflakes that only appear when the TV loses signal appeared on her face.

Chu Lu was horrified. He could no longer sit still and stepped back subconsciously.

"Don't go, don't go!" Wei Jin was about to cry. Her voice became strange, full of shrill noises. "Please! Fall in love with me! I'll do anything! I'll be your slave! I'll be your dog! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Chu Lu looked solemn, and asked in his heart: "Qin Su..."

But before he could finish, Qin Su interrupted him and said, "This is the final step. Reject her completely!"

Chu Lu immediately stopped asking questions and said coldly: "It's useless for me to say anything. I can't fall in love with someone like you!"

These words sound like a verdict made by a judge in a court.

Wei Jin's whole body stiffened, and his greatly altered body began to rapidly collapse.

"No! No! No! No!" She screamed in panic, trying to reach out and take back the collapsed part, but even her outstretched hand was dying.

Finally, amid her continuous crying, she completely disappeared.

Chu Lu was the only one left in the main hall.

He looked at the place where Wei Jin died for a while, and when he saw that there were no more strange changes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in his mind: "Qin Su, is this why you said that as long as she fails in her strategy, you can get rid of her?"

Qin Su replied: "Yes."

Chu Lu: "So what's going on? Why did she die suddenly?"

Qin Su: "It's simple. She is no longer qualified to be the protagonist."

Chu Lu: "?" Qin Su: "This is a somewhat abstract concept, so let me give you a specific example. For example, there is a traditional male upgrade novel, in which the protagonist travels through time and space and becomes a young master who is looked down upon by servants and is ridiculed and slapped in the face by people from all walks of life. At this time, he gets a golden finger, which may be a system, a memory of a previous life, a special physique, or an old grandfather in the ring."

Qin Su: "Anyway, he's cheating, so what's going to happen to him next?"

Chu Lu: "Ah? Are you asking me? Then it must be an upgrade all the way to slap your face."

Qin Su: "That's right, but if the protagonist is a complete loser, gets a bunch of cheats, works hard for hundreds of chapters, but doesn't level up, the people who laughed at him at the beginning are still laughing at him now. He hasn't made any progress from being poor in his youth to being poor in his middle age, and then to being poor in his old age, until he enters the coffin, the story ends. What do you think of this book?"

Chu Lu: "??? What kind of absurd thing is this? This book should not exist. The author either gave up halfway through writing it because no one read it, or was scolded by others. Even if it was really written, it probably wouldn't cause any waves. At most, someone would find it, look through the introduction and table of contents, and then post it on Tieba to make fun of it."

Qin Su: "That's right. That's what happened to Wei Jin. In most cases, as the core character of the novel, the protagonist of a novel bears the heavy responsibility of satisfying core needs. If these needs are not met, then there is no meaning for him as the protagonist to exist, and the novel world will perish along with him. Even if Wei Jin has left her novel world, as long as she is still reenacting the plot of the novel, she will still be the protagonist of the novel in this small area and will be restricted by this law."

Chu Lu: "So what you mean is that she failed in her strategy and failed as a protagonist, so she destroyed herself? But isn't she the heroine of a strong female protagonist? How could she be... "

Qin Su: "The heroines of strong female characters are also the heroines of female-oriented stories. There is no essential difference. Chu Lu, do you know what the most fundamental difference between male-oriented and female-oriented stories is?"

Chu Lu: "One is in love and the other is not? That doesn't seem right. One is a man and the other is a woman? That doesn't seem right either... So what is it?"

Qin Su: "It's the difference in core emotional needs. The core emotional need of men's novels is the desire for superiority. The desire to be better than others. So when men write fairy tales, they will set up a lot of hierarchical systems, and then write about the male protagonist slowly climbing up. When writing fantasy novels, they will set up a lot of hierarchical systems, and then write about the male protagonist slowly climbing up. Even when writing urban novels, they either design a hierarchy of top stars, first-rate stars, second-rate stars, and third-rate stars, or they start a business and start a company, dividing the levels according to wealth, or they are small enterprises, large enterprises, and leading enterprises.

Or you can get supernatural powers, SABCD level."

Qin Su: "Why do male novels have to be divided into different levels? Because with the levels, accurate comparisons can be made. When the enemy is at level one and you reach level two, the moment you surpass him is the moment when the core need for superiority is clearly satisfied!"

Qin Su: "Of course, the desire for superiority is not the only emotional need, there are others. But they are all side dishes, dispensable. The only core need that runs through the entire male channel is this one."

Chu Lu thought about it and felt that Qin Su had some truth in his argument, but it seemed a bit extreme, so he said, "It seems to be true, but it's not comprehensive, right? Doesn't the male channel also have an invincible flow that doesn't require leveling up, or a harem flow that specializes in romance?"

Qin Su: "The invincible style is stronger than everyone else from the beginning, and a considerable part of the plot is just about the supporting characters who don't know the protagonist is strong, or don't know enough about it, so they offend the protagonist, and then are frightened by the power of the protagonist. It does not satisfy the core needs by surpassing others, but by showing one's own strength again and again, proving superiority over others. There is no difference in essence. As for the harem..."

Qin Su paused and said, "It's just relatively obscure, but it's actually the same logic. How do the male characters conquer the female protagonists? The plots vary, but in the final analysis, they fall into two categories. One is to solve the problem that the female protagonist can't solve, and the female protagonist will admit defeat and fall in love with him. The other is to fall in love with him because of some unexpected events, and then pass the test, get the female protagonist's approval, and then establish a relationship."

Qin Su said: "The two are ultimately nothing more than proving that the male protagonist is superior to the female protagonist. The process of the male channel conquering the female protagonist is essentially the process of surpassing the female protagonist and satisfying her core needs. Male channels often call this process conquest, and the inner meaning is actually very clear. Since you want to conquer, you naturally have to determine who is better."

Chu Lu was stunned, and recalled the plots of the novels he had read. It seemed that they could really match up. Even some novels that were known as gigolo novels would not simply write about the male protagonist eating gigolo. There would always be some plots of pretending to be cool and getting slapped in the face, or even going a step further to counterattack the female protagonist. He nodded and said, "It seems to be true. What about the core emotional needs of female novels?"

Qin Su: "It's being loved."

Chu Lu: "Hmm? Isn't it love?"

Qin Su: "No, there are two problems with love. First, it is a two-way thing. But for women, loving is a means, and being loved is the goal. Second, love as a type is too single. Love from parents, love from friends, and even love from some irrelevant passers-by are all what women want."

Chu Lu frowned slightly, a little suspicious: "Ignorant passers-by..."

Qin Su: "Chu Lu, you have experienced some female-oriented worlds. You must have had a doubt in your mind. That is, the female protagonists seem to have their thoughts stamped on them. They attach great importance to the rules and will never violate them, even if they are tortured. This is too unreasonable, right?"

Chu Lu nodded: "Yes, it did happen."

Qin Su: "In fact, not all female protagonists are like this. In many female stories, the villains stick to the rules, while the protagonists can break them whenever they want. The reason why this kind of weird plot is so popular is actually influenced by the core need of wanting to be loved."

Qin Su said: "In most cases, if a rule can be implemented, it means that most people agree with it. Therefore, people who break the rule will be hated by everyone, while people who abide by the rule and even get hurt by it will be sympathized and loved by everyone."

Chu Lu nodded, agreeing
Laws are rules. Unless there is something else going on, criminals are hated and victims are pitied.

What Qin Su said is in line with common sense.
