Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

So, your attitude changed a bit too quickly. Are you that fickle?!

"It's up to you now~" Fang Rui nodded slightly, looking very agreeable. "I'll do my best for you~"

As he said this, Fang Rui was thinking about the second thing: he had memorized the rules of the game in this world, but had not yet tried to use them in practice.

"We need to find an opportunity to test it out."

Testing in the current world is not suitable; we need to choose other worlds for testing to see how well he has mastered the subject, such as the Hunter world.

In the Hunter world, there are similar game-like situations, such as Nen game arenas constructed from multiple Nen abilities.

The rules created by Nen abilities are, in a sense, no different from game rules; they must be followed. Of course, Nen rules are not as absolute as game rules and can be resolved in other ways, such as through Nen removal...

Because the Hunter world has similar rules, Fang Rui's thoughts began to wander, and he felt a restless urge to act.

The Hunter Association happens to be hunting down the Chimera Ants, so he can write some rules to make the hunt more interesting.

Just as he used to write rules and input new rules into the world, the new rules of the game he acquired were no different from what he had done before.

The difference from the past is that one is a forceful embedding, while the other is a gentle integration.

The latter is safer; there won't be any problems, and even if there are, they won't be too serious.

A moment later, Fang Rui stopped thinking and looked at the surface of the river with a complicated expression. Kuina was chasing after a boat.

"Why are you playing around?!" Fang Rui asked, looking at Luo Ti beside him.

"Eh~" Loti hesitated upon hearing this, and after racking his brains for a while, he still couldn't come up with a good explanation.

"Never mind, do you want something to eat?"

Judging from the situation, Quina was very interested, and the chase wouldn't stop anytime soon, so he wasn't interested in watching it all the time.

"Eat...eat what?" Loti asked, somewhat confused and bewildered, before instinctively continuing to follow Fang Rui's lead.

"You must have been living in the capital for a while now! Recommend some delicious food! I'll send someone to buy it."

As he said this, Fang Rui's shadow rippled slightly, and a human-shaped shadow rose from the area covered by the shadow, crouching on the ground.

The pedestrians nearby panicked at the sight, scrambling to the side and shouting curses.

Fang Rui didn't pay any attention to this and continued talking to himself, "If possible, it's best to describe the address more accurately, since its sense of direction isn't very good."

Shadow clones are similar to ninjas, possessing low-level intelligence and combat power equivalent to a level 100 player in this world. They have decent learning abilities and can learn techniques that can be mastered through practice, but techniques that require comprehension are more difficult to learn.

“Uh…” Looking at the shadow clone, Loti’s heart was filled with complicated emotions. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be shocked that Fang Rui could summon a shadow clone, or speechless that he actually wanted to send a shadow clone to buy things…

Who uses shadow clones like that?!

What are you looking at? What are you hesitating about?

Fang Rui looked a little confused. He was just asking where a good restaurant was. Was it really necessary to be so hesitant?

Even foodies wouldn't go this far! Shouldn't a true foodie be enthusiastically recommending restaurants?

Fang Rui wasn't sure if his thoughts were accurate, so he didn't say anything, but instead added, "If you don't want to say, then forget it..."

"No, no, no... no, I was thinking about something else just now."

Loti waved his hand hastily, "It's not that I don't want to talk, it's just that I don't know what to say for the moment."

"Let me think about it..." Lottie raised her right arm, her index finger touching her brow. She usually didn't pay attention to her diet, after all, young girls care a lot about their figure and control their diet.

Besides, her friends are princes and princesses, so naturally she wouldn't lack delicious food.

After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't come to a conclusion; she really lacked information about what delicious food shops were in the capital.

Seeing the person's conflicted expression, Fang Rui had no intention of asking any further questions. He directly sent out a shadow clone to search for delicious food shops in the capital.

To determine whether a restaurant's food is delicious, you can infer and analyze several aspects, such as the number of diners, the aroma of the food, etc.

While Fang Rui was dealing with this matter, the chase in the river remained unchanged. A look of doubt flashed in his eyes. Where did an ordinary child get the stamina to last so long?!

The level is also very low...

Although we often hear people describe children as "full of energy," that's just an adjective and doesn't necessarily reflect reality.

An unexpected situation, let's take a look!

Discovering something interesting, Fang Rui decided to observe and see how long the child could last.

Aside from Fang Rui, there were other people watching the show on the riverbank. Most of them were attracted by Kuina running on the river, while the children rowing the boat did not attract much attention.

To be precise, it wasn't that it didn't attract the attention of others.

Fang Rui's gaze swept over several spots, where a few suspicious individuals were hidden among the crowd. Some harbored murderous intent, but did not unleash it; others...

'They must be bodyguards!'

After all, he's a prince, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to have bodyguards secretly following him. Besides...

The fact that the older man from before showed no concern and even flirted with her indicates that he knew about the matter. As for why he needed to find someone...

I guess they have other ideas!

Having bodyguards is one thing, but the number of bodyguards is limited, and certain situations need to be considered. It would be better to locate them as soon as possible and bring them back.

Thinking this, Fang Rui ignored whether his guess was correct and turned his gaze to the group of people who were hiding murderous intent.

The current world order is a tripartite balance of power. It is impossible to say that the other two countries have no ambition for hegemony, and there are undercurrents even within their own borders.

The relationship between the royal family and Skarug and others was relatively good, so the succession was stable and there were not many internal problems. However, there were problems with other nobles and merchant guilds.

Therefore, Fang Rui had no idea where these people came from.

If he cheated, then he could find out where the others came from.

However, he had no intention of cheating. Anyway, with him and Quina watching over him, nothing would happen.

After some time, the shadow clone returned to his side, but did not bring back any food.

"What's going on?" Fang Rui asked, his gaze fixed on the shadow clone.

"..." The shadow clone did not make a sound, but it transmitted information in other ways.

"You have no money, and the shop owner refuses to sell you anything because you look strange..."

Fang Rui pinched the bridge of his nose, this was truly an unexpected situation, and he didn't know what to say.

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Fang Rui didn't dwell on the matter any longer. "It's alright, you can leave now."

The shadow clone merged back into Fang Rui's shadow, and Luo Ti, seeing this, smiled awkwardly...

From the moment Lotti saw the shadow clone, he wanted to say this: with its dark appearance, it looked like a monster from any angle, so... no one would buy anything for it.

However, something happened later that prevented her from speaking out, and she was distracted by other things.

At this moment, Quina grabbed her target and carried him across the river.

"mission completed!"

Placing the target in front of Lotti, Quina pressed down on the target's head with one hand as she spoke.

"Thank you very much." A steady voice came from the side. It was the client who had left earlier. Perhaps he had heard the rumor that "a blonde woman was chasing a child" and had come from elsewhere.

As she took the money pouch from the client, Kuina's arm felt slightly heavy, and she was immediately surprised, "So much?!"

"Haha, you did a great job on the mission, so you should be rewarded more."

After learning about Quina's "great achievements," the uncle was naturally not stingy; it was very cheap to befriend a powerful person for just a little money.

"See you next time." After saying that, he had no intention of saying anything more and left with the two of them.

Fang Rui and Kui Na stayed where they were for a while, counting the gold coins in their money bags.

"There are hundreds of them? That's a bit of an exaggeration!" Kuina immediately complained.

"Indeed, although that child's identity is somewhat special, it's a bit suspicious that so much money should be given away."

The more money given, the more special the child's identity is, which could lead to many unexpected situations, especially since it's on the street with many pedestrians.

"What do you think could be the reason?"

"It's probably because of the elves."

Fang Rui guessed, "The other party probably doesn't know that you are a high elf yet, but Skarug is the bishop of the country and has a good relationship with the royal family, so it's reasonable for him to befriend other elves."

"Is that so?" Kuina raised an eyebrow slightly, not entirely believing Fang Rui's words. She felt that Fang Rui's guess might be partially correct, but not entirely correct.

"Perhaps." Fang Rui didn't guarantee the accuracy of his guess, and shrugged slightly. "It's just a guess."

"By the way, would you like to visit other worlds?"

The sudden change of topic caused Kuina's expression to freeze instantly, her whole body turning slowly like a rusty mechanical gear.

"What...what did you just say?!"

"I've said before that I'm a traveler, and I came here in a different way than you. I'm going to play in other worlds."

"...No, no, no, this 'different' is way too different!"

Kuina's tone was somewhat flustered. She knew that her new best friend was a little special, but she didn't expect him to be so special that he could travel across the world.

Wait, across worlds?!

Kuina's expression changed instantly. In the other world, she had relatives, and they were especially kind to her.

"Can you... take me back to my original world?"

Kuina's tone was filled with anticipation and worry, as she was very afraid that Fang Rui's answer would be... no!

"Yes, I can teach you a skill that will allow you to move between the two worlds."

At her current level, Quina possesses enough magic power to support her traversal.

"You can go back when you're ready."

Fang Rui gave Kuina the choice of when to start, since she did need some time to prepare.

"Ah!" Quina seemed to realize something, her expression momentarily disappointed, but she quickly recovered. "I will, thank you."

"It's alright, I'll teach you the teleportation skill tonight."

Then, Fang Rui steered the conversation back on track, "So, do you want to come with me to another world?"

"Yes!" Kuina did not refuse Fang Rui's invitation, after all, she was in a bad mood and needed to change her mood.

"Let's go get something to eat! After we eat, we'll rest for the night, and then we'll set off tomorrow..."
