I Kill Gods in Escape Game

Chapter 99 Happiness Simulation 3
[You are a bad child. When you were one year old, you crushed a passing bird to death. When you were two years old, you stepped on your grandmother's chicken to death. When you were three years old, you pierced a guest's hand with a bloody mark.]

[Mother doesn't care about you, but brother teaches you patiently.]

[Your choice is——]

Lin Yuan was stunned, as if something had hit him lightly on the head.

She rubbed her temples and focused on the new text options that appeared on the screen.

She had a feeling that after reading this summary text, the options would not be simple.

[A. He is stubborn and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions/B. He turns over a new leaf and becomes a good child from now on]

The brother on the screen was holding the little man’s hand, his mouth opening and closing as if he was telling something.

The little man hung his head low and nodded weakly from time to time.

Lin Yuan thought that the little boy should still listen to his brother, so the teaching should be effective.

But Lin Yuan hesitated for a second or two, tapped her finger on the "save" button to save the current disagreement, and then she said, "I choose B."

A text message appears.

[You turned over a new leaf, you suppressed your bad desires, and stopped doing anything. You tried hard to pretend to be a kind child, but your disguise was so fake that it was seen through at a glance——]

[They angrily accused you of being a born bad person and became increasingly disgusted with you]

[Mom dug out your toy box from under the bed, and inside it was a lively black bird. The black bird stared at you deeply with its red eyes, then spread its wings and flew away]

[Mom welcomes back the guests you chased away, and my brother is pecked by a bird and disappears from home one day]

[You are such a fool. You misunderstood your brother's teachings.]

You are in pain

The little man in the picture covered his head in pain and shouted helplessly.

The extreme sadness and despair seemed to be transmitted back to Lin Yuan's brain through the game controller. Her mind felt dull and there was a dull throbbing pain.

Lin Yuan raised his eyelids slightly and saw that the three basic attributes were all declining, and the happiness index even fell below zero.

She pursed her lips and said, "It seems like your brother wants me to continue doing evil."

"If I turn over a new leaf, the black bird will be resurrected, and the things I hurt before will come back again..." Lin Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the empty house, "and you will be taken away by the black bird."

Lin Yuan has a new understanding of the story in the simulator.

First, the simulated story is extremely abstract.

Stories that could never happen in reality are expressed in the simulator through various images.

A black bird that makes your ears bleed, a guest covered with rose-colored rashes, and a brother who disappeared...

Lin Yuan doesn’t know what these images represent for the time being, but she can pay attention to the scenes when she sees these images again in the future.

Secondly, the increase or decrease of the happiness index.

To increase the happiness index, you undoubtedly need to make options that make the little person happy.

But I don’t know if I have inherited Lin Yuan’s personality. I have a weird temper and my hobbies and inclinations are hard to guess.

Lin Yuan pinched his chin and thought for a while, and found that when he was undecided, he just had to follow his heart.

If she put herself in that situation, she should just follow her first reaction. Worrying too much will only backfire.

Lin Yuan's fingers tapped lightly twice around the game buttons; the dull sound made him sober up a little.

She said word by word with certainty: "Finally, this brother must not be a good person."

What good intentions can a brother have when he persuades his sister to do evil?
Lin Yuan thought so, and when he saw the description of his brother being pecked by a bird, he smiled inexplicably.

"Load the file."

……

The moment he finished speaking, Lin Yuan returned to the last second when he made his choice.

"Stubborn!"

She looked at the mother on the screen and saw her child being insulted.

The villain shrugged indifferently, as if these words did not bother her at all.

[Happiness Index Rises] Lin Yuan watched the little man's happiness index rise to 20%, and new ideas opened up in his mind.

——It turns out that only by following your heart can you feel happy.

A new text description appears.

[You make new choices and continue to do your own thing in the future]

[Mother scolded you for ruining her good deeds and sent you to live with relatives]

[A relative who has no children loves you very much, but you soon discover that this love seems to have other intentions]

[Your choice is——]

[A. Pretend to know nothing / B. Jump out and reveal everything]

Lin Yuan twisted the game controller, as if he had found the right way to play, and sneered, "Why are you so cowardly?"

She chose B without hesitation, and her happiness index continued to rise as expected.

【Happiness Index: 30%】

Outside of the copy.

At this moment, in the Star Guild, several people were staring at the computer screen intently.

The screen is broadcasting Meng Pingan's gaming performance live.

"The gameplay of The Sims is still quite rare."

"The birth family of each person in this copy seems to have some relationship with the person's real experience." Xu Qian looked thoughtful, holding a notebook and recording information on it.

Ding Li raised his chin slightly: "Indeed, Meng Ping'an had an ordinary childhood, a stable family, and almost no twists and turns."

No twists and turns means no opportunities to make choices.

Meng Ping'an's every move was shown on the live broadcast screen. Since she was born, she has only made two choices.

One was about what color cake I wanted as my birthday gift, and another was about why I didn’t sleep well.

This also indirectly reflects how simple Meng Pingan is in his heart.

But Meng Ping'an still chose the wrong answer to such a boring question. Until now, her happiness index is only 10%.

At this time, new changes appeared in the live broadcast screen.

As Meng Ping'an reached elementary school age, an "anonymous happiness list" appeared on the side of the game console, which players could check at any time.

The top of the list has already pushed the happiness index to 40%.

Jiang Liuxing looked at Meng Ping'an's progress with dissatisfaction and an impatient expression: "At this rate, even if she dies of old age in the game, she still won't be 100% happy."

"I just don't understand, is happiness so difficult? Eating a small cake can make you sad."

A sneer sounded, Jiang Liuxing stopped talking and turned his eyes to the source of the sound.

Ding Li smiled but said nothing. Xu Qian explained helplessly: "Mr. Jiang, everyone's happiness is different."

"Also, the players in the dungeon didn't know, but we saw it clearly at the beginning."

"This is a test similar to 'brain in a vat'. Players think their dungeon missions are just to fill up their happiness index in the simulator, but in fact, there are countless eyes outside monitoring their every move."

Ding Li raised her hand to cover her smiling lips: "It's not a good thing to be happy too quickly. Exposing your preferences so easily to the researchers, who knows if the players will be sent to be sliced ​​into pieces in the end after finally maxing out their happiness index."

She said reservedly, "I think this copy still needs to be disguised. The more a person indulges his nature, the more he tends to be exposed."

The others nodded in agreement, thinking that Ding Li and Xu Qian were indeed players from Sun Moon City, and they considered things very carefully.

At this time, the live broadcast screen changes.

Everyone's perspective moved along with Meng Ping'an's.

Text messages scrolled quickly across the game monitor.

[When you were seven years old, you went to elementary school and a transfer student came to your class]

[The transfer student is a bad person, her name is Lin Xiaoyuan]
