I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 101 Happiness Simulation 5
As if hearing Lin Yuan’s mumbling, the little man in the picture suddenly turned his head, and his blank eyes looked in a certain direction in confusion.

It seems to be gazing at some existence in the dark.

New subtitles appeared on the game console screen.

[The high-pressure and boring life envelops you, and your eyes have lost their luster]

【your choice--】

Two options appeared on the screen, one was "grit and persevere" and the other was "skip school and classes".

Lin Yuan saved the file and thought for a moment.

Her happiness index is only 20% now, and gritting her teeth will only increase Lin Xiaoyuan's pressure.

Lin Yuan chose the latter.

The picture quickly changed according to her choice.

Lin Xiaoyuan ran out of the classroom. She was so agile and ran so fast that almost no one could stop her.

However, the result was beyond Lin Yuan's expectations.

After a brief rise, the happiness index began to decline at an avalanche-like rate.

Two other basic attributes also plummeted.

【Health: 90】

【Spirit: 90】

【Happiness Index: 10%】

"No, this is not what I want." Lin Yuan's finger hovered above the button of the game console, and he was reluctant to press it.

It is wrong to blindly pursue freedom and indulgence.

Lin Yuan vaguely realized.

Her little man is just tired and needs a rest. He doesn't have to choose between "persistence" and "giving up".

"Load the file."

As soon as the words were spoken, the image on the screen quickly returned to the previous option point as if played in reverse.

Lin Yuan calmly looked at the little man lying on the desk with his head buried in his arms. He thought and said:
"You have your own ideas, right?"

The pixel man blinked, slid his head deep into his arms, and pretended not to hear.

Lin Yuan laughed angrily: "When can you hear me speak?"

The pixel man didn't speak. Lin Yuan operated the handle, forcing the man to straighten his back and raise his head.

Two pairs of black eyes looked at each other through the screen, which was indescribably weird.

"You choose, don't let me help you."

The pixel man turned his head to the side, sat upright at the desk, and read a book with a stern face.

For some reason, Lin Yuan saw resentment in the little man's eyes.

The screen scrolls with new subtitles.

[You know you have no choice, so you do nothing but study]

[Although you are very tired, the improvement in your grades gives you positive feedback. With the two offsetting each other, you don’t seem to be so bored with your current life.]

【Happiness Index: 30%】

Lin Yuan bent his fingers and tapped the keys, thinking.

What choice does she have to make? The actions of the pixel man will definitely increase the happiness index.

The options given by the game either have traps or are obviously intended to reduce her happiness. If she had followed any of the options given by the game, she might have had a mental breakdown long ago.

"It's best to let the person be responsible for something." Lin Yuan lowered his eyes, "No matter what choice others make, they will regret the other possibilities, but there is no regret for your own choice."

"This is who I am."

There was a flickering light on the screen. Lin Yuan looked up and saw the text description refreshed on the screen.

[Your grades are very good and you were admitted to the key high school in Xingfu City - Xinhai High School]

[Here, you meet your former elementary school classmate, but you don’t want to say hello to her]

[I heard that a student committed suicide at home because he did not get the ideal grades]

Lin Yuan subconsciously glanced at the anonymous list. At the end of the list, another name whose happiness index fell below zero in the last round was grayed out.

By the time she had played the single-player game for a while, only eight of the ten players were left.

Lin Yuan studied the list for a while. From the top to the bottom, the happiness index ranged from 30% to 70%. The person at the top was probably 60% of the previous round. After the middle school stage, that person's happiness index only increased by 10%.

The rest of the group saw little increase.

"It seems that happiness has to start from childhood." Lin Yuan sighed with an inexplicable expression.

At this point in the game, most players have mastered the tricks to improve their happiness index.

After all, what you can’t master may no longer be on the list.

Lin Yuan's number was surprisingly at the bottom.

Lin Yuan didn't like the feeling of being left behind, so she stared at the game console and continued to push the plot forward.

……

After going through several options, Lin Yuan stopped the operation.

She looked at the gloomy little man on the screen and finally realized a fact.

That is, the conditions for Lin Xiaoyuan to obtain happiness are very harsh.

Either lie, sabotage, or be free.

But when she grew up, the world was full of constraints, so she naturally couldn't be happy.

Constraints can make Lin Xiaoyuan calm down temporarily, but over time, his happiness index will neither decrease nor increase.

Seeing that the happiness index of everyone on the list was rising, Lin Yuan's happiness index remained unchanged and remained firmly at the last place.

Lin Yuan felt jealous for the first time, and she spoke.

"Ohara."

The little man on the screen raised his head helplessly, and the expression on his face seemed to say: "I can't help it, but I just can't feel happy."

Lin Yuan seemed to understand the villain's thoughts, and her lips moved.

"You go do something you want to do, the more spectacular the better."

"You just need to be happy. I will take care of all the pressure."

There is something reassuring about this promise.

A look of confusion flashed across the pixelated man's face, and the corners of his lips inadvertently curved up.

If the game characters had hearts, Lin Xiaoyuan's heart would definitely be beating hard at this moment.

"Anything can be done?"

Lin Yuan seemed to have heard the pixel man's thoughts and nodded heavily.

"That's right, you don't have to listen to my instructions. Go do something big that you have always wanted to do."

"Don't stop, don't look back, no matter what the outcome is, just live your life."

"——Anyway, I'll take care of it."

After receiving Lin Yuan's promise, the pixel man stretched happily and started to work happily in school...

*
Meng Ping'an met Lin Yuan at Xinhai Middle School, but she was too timid and didn't even dare to go up and say hello to her elementary school classmate.

She met other players at school, the one with the highest happiness index, whose name was Han Nianci.

Han Nianci's character freedom is much higher than Meng Ping'an's. The other party quickly became friends with her through interactive plots and generously shared his experience in improving the happiness index. At the end, Han Nianci mentioned:
"One of my characteristics is that I am content with what I have."

Meng Pingan thought, no wonder your happiness index increased so quickly.

The next second, Han Nianci asked, "You said you knew another player in the game, who is she?"

Meng Ping'an was just about to talk about her elementary school classmates when her brain suddenly flashed with memories as if it had been electrocuted.

As far as she could remember, she had actually met a unique transfer student when she was in elementary school.

That person had excellent grades and later passed the entrance exam to leave the small county and go to Xinhai Experimental Middle School.

But the other party got into big trouble in high school...

The two were strolling around the flower bed when suddenly there was a noise in front of them.

Countless students were running towards one place, and hundreds of heads popped out of the teaching building, staring at the movement below in confusion.

There was anticipation and excitement hidden in their expressions.

"That's bad!" / "That's great!"

Two voices rang out at the same time.
