Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

To receive a favor out of thin air and still think of giving back is like finding money on the street and handing it over to the police even after it has been lost multiple times. This is something that ordinary people cannot do.

This is a temptation that ordinary people cannot resist; in fact, it is probably impossible for the vast majority of people in the world to resist it.

……

"That's what they're asking for too?"

"If you're going to impose any punishment on Jiang Cheng, then I'd have to do it at least ten times over!"

The waving fairy finally relaxed her primordial power a bit, and then made the exact same request, without any sense of shame for plagiarism. Even when the boy looked at her, she remained relaxed, leaning back in her chair and showing off her faded chest with interest.

Now, that captivating, smooth, and soft texture that melts into your fingertips no longer needs to be questioned as to what exactly is pigment powder and what is real powder.

Because the color was already severely faded, the paint, which was not intended to last, had been completely destroyed by baking in the kitchen.

All that could be seen was inhumanly fair skin, reddened by the firelight, tinged with a tempting glow like a fiery sunset. The intentional raising of arms, revealing the armpits and flowing sweat, made it seem as if the fairy of the moon had fallen to the mortal world and become human.

It's blatant.

They made no attempt to hide their thoughts.

Even in such a serious setting, Miss Fairy, just like she used to ask one innocent and adorable question after another during a battle meeting, used her naturally cheerful and lively personality to dispel all unhappiness.

The important thing is that this is not a fake pink, nor is it a superficial liveliness; it is a truly pure and flawless fairy.

It would be too cruel to make fairies unhappy, unable to smile, and unable to show their charm and bring joy to everyone at any time.

Even Jiang Cheng couldn't say anything more. At most, he could only close his eyes, take a deep breath, regulate his inner fluctuations, and guide the power that should not have any nourishing effect on the Herrscher's body, but was merely a symbolic supplement, to circulate and consume irregularly within his body.

Whether it's pigeon meat or other seafood, it's all soaked in the power of the origin. In order to allow this body to recover properly, Miss Fairy even managed to turn the destructive Honkai energy into restorative energy.

Fighting against it is impossible. Letting the power run rampant within her body will only cause self-destruction and would break Wilvi's heart. Therefore, she can only guide it to other places, as long as it doesn't go into the places it should go.

It wasn't until the person opened their eyes again that the boy finally regained his clarity, able to meet those pink eyes and gaze at them without wavering.

It will not be distracted by other heads, nor will it be drawn to other points, nor will it be attracted by places where friendship has been squeezed out to flow.

"If one or two of you choose this, even if the punishment is just superficial and we don't expect you to make any demands, it's a bit too perfunctory."

Jiang Cheng made his final decision without hesitation, no longer fantasizing that the girls could give any strict punishment. He simply gave a heavy promise according to his own limits, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then I'll take the liberty of preparing a gift for each of you."

……

"Okay?"

Alice was the one who echoed everyone else's answer, and the first one to accept it was the pink fairy who should always be full of energy, offering all sorts of suggestions and driving all the gloomy characters crazy.

Whatever~?

Anything is fine as long as the boy is happy.

They would do it even if it meant destroying the world.

The fairy is the kind of person who, just because she heard the boy express concern for a certain bishop, would not hesitate to waste an important hour that should have been spent with the boy to eliminate a potential threat.

That's a full hour, sixty minutes, three thousand six hundred seconds, three months and sixteen million milliseconds, plus four zeros in microseconds!

Even this time can be wasted; beneath her seemingly glamorous exterior, Alicia is already utterly corrupt inside.

Even Vilvi said that!

Vervier was convinced.

……

Shameless thing. .jpg

266. Virvi: I want a good beating.

……

Everyone was discussing and expressing these demands, and even those without demands or grievances still chose to cater to the boy and chat casually.

Only Wilvi seemed to be confirming whether she was dreaming. Using a sock she had picked up from the boy's room, she put her fingers inside the sock and, through the sock, subconsciously began to cruelly pinch her own chest, not letting go even as it became red, swollen, and even bruised.

Ahhh...

really?

The boy said he could make any request he wanted...

is that true?

Am I really not still half asleep and dreaming?

Even pain couldn't awaken her immediately; the area where she had been pinched was almost completely covered by the darker color, obscuring the marks Jiang Cheng had just left.

This promise was so tolerant and weighty that even the genius began to doubt himself, momentarily disoriented as if the world had become unreal. Or perhaps it was the girl who had spent the most time with the boy, or at least the longest and first time as his lover, who was more aware of what this promise represented.

Because it means that anything can be said.

I would agree to any request out of guilt.

There is virtually no upper or lower limit.

It feels like a dream, I really feel like I'm dreaming.

……

"The final punishment is set for now: atonement in the form of a gift. If you have any other ideas, you can tell me at any time. Of course, I will also accept the fact that there is no fourth partner."

“The ideal partner doesn’t exist. Most people in the world have to accept things that the other person can’t change. What I mean is, even if I’m just an ordinary person, you would still accept me. Vilvi, Airi, Mei… you’ve set the bar too high.”

How could anyone feel relaxed and happy over a small hill after seeing a towering mountain?

How could anyone, after witnessing the mighty ocean, still be so captivated by the narrow confines of a tiny water tank where not even a ripple could be made?

After savoring delicious food, eating tasteless food that is merely for filling one's stomach becomes a torment; after witnessing the most brilliantly blooming flowers, one can no longer find joy in any roadside blossoms.

"I will never have another lover, because I will never find another girl in my life who is so happy just to see me."

"Raiden Mei is probably the last person in the world who can accept me so readily and is willing to make so many sacrifices that make my heart ache."

"I have to admit, I'm really lucky. Even though I know nothing about many things and keep hitting walls, I always manage to meet people who are willing to give me their sincere feelings and express everything to me."

Reluctantly pulling his gaze away from Raiden Mei, Jiang Cheng's fingers involuntarily pressed against his chest, as if feeling his heartbeat, feeling the echo deep within the soul that was still more human than monster, savoring the happiness of this moment, so excited that it felt as if his nerve endings were sending out a warm, tingling sensation of extreme joy.

The deep blue eyes could no longer be described by simple emotions. Even the deepest sea and the eternal starry sky were illuminated with light and heat at this moment, spreading an unprecedented fervor.

His lips had already involuntarily curled up, uncontrollable and uncontrollable, and the curve simply couldn't be suppressed. The boy could only smile with emotion.

"To be loved by you all so much, for someone who is neither a hero nor has any special characteristics to receive such sincere love... I am really, really happy."

……

No future.

Despite possessing power, he still considers himself a mortal.

He possesses a cheat ability, gaining power in just one go, yet unlike other overpowered male protagonists, he cannot act as an emotionless bulldozer, building a harem without feeling any guilt or emotional fluctuation.

This kind of behavior, which would only elicit an apology from other guys, might make them feel nauseous and disgusted by their own inflated male chauvinism, wondering why they didn't continue to dedicate themselves to the endless struggle to increase their social status. Why can't they just see everyone else as trash? All for the sake of simple pleasure and willful actions.

But this is a thought that neither belongs to nor should belong to Jiangcheng.

Even if one possesses power, one cannot become a citizen of one's homeland.

They are both annoyed by the bad things that happen around them and moved by good deeds. They also fear all troublesome and tedious things that require their energy. They are just like that, hesitant and struggling, neither good nor bad.

Even if one has the ability and opportunity to engage in the endless struggle to increase wealth and social status, one would probably be afraid of the tediousness involved.

They have difficulty socializing with others, only know how to reveal their true thoughts, are ignorant of so-called social etiquette, and instinctively find it difficult to integrate into society.

They can disregard others treating strangers as numbers, caring only about those around them, and even if it causes a major collapse, they won't feel much guilt.

However, they are unable to regard other people as ants or pigs, to suppress and belittle them in terms of status and position, and to believe in their hearts that their personality and mentality are garbage, trash that can be trampled on at will. They will also feel guilty after seeing the disaster they have actually caused.

Neither love nor hate is pure.

Neither good nor evil is complete.

Indecisive and never willing to give up anything, unable to face any sacrifice with indifference, always wanting only the best outcome, protecting all those they love, greedy like a child who can't make any choices at all.

Just like most ordinary people who think they can be fierce, strong, and brave, they are simply more self-aware.

The boy knew from the beginning that he couldn't face the departure of those around him, couldn't face the act of loss, and his weak heart couldn't become stronger because of the pain.

Without the courage to disregard life and death, without the heart of stone to abandon a lover, and without the perseverance to face loneliness alone... any accumulated will can melt away quickly when it encounters a sliver of warmth.

Such a young man, such an ordinary person, cannot calmly accept his own betrayal. Even if it seems that he can hide it and pretend not to see it, he is unwilling and dares not have any room for luck in front of girls whose emotions are heavier than the gravity of a black hole.

Conflicts must be faced, because only by protecting oneself can one have the confidence to be respected. Whether one is respected is another matter, but whether one believes oneself to be worthy of respect and love is the most important part.

Beautiful girls like Vivi shouldn't be humble.

no way!

……

"Please allow me to apologize this time."

"Because this is truly my apology."

The boy concluded by expressing his overwhelming guilt, feeling that he had received a gift but had not given anything in return, or at least not enough.

Even though she knew that she had no reason to feel guilty towards Velvi, Raiden Mei, or Alicia, and that emotions were something that could never be controlled or stopped.

A sense of insignificance and humility towards one's own self-worth can lead to a perceived inequality between one's efforts and rewards, which is why one needs to address and compensate for it.

So what if I die twice?

They did nothing wrong.

This is a habitual tendency to attribute the factors of the times and the world to oneself, arbitrarily believing that one should solve all problems, and if one fails to solve them, it is one's own fault—this is the biggest bad habit of geniuses.
