The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Congratulations on completing the simulation task: Become an excellent food delivery driver within three months.

Defining excellence has always been a difficult question to answer, and you've proven it in your own way.

[Your reward is being processed. Please check your account.]

Congratulations on inheriting the initial talent: Able to Fight.

[Your actions have proven that you are not someone who abuses your abilities, therefore your initial talent is retained.]

Congratulations on achieving the Two-Wheeled Vehicle Driving Skills Expertise certification!

[You are a top-tier traffic participant; the astonishingly low rate of overdue traffic is strong evidence of this technology.]

Congratulations! You have won a cash reward of 23,000 yuan.

This reward comes from your kindness. Whether good people are rewarded is a debatable question, but it is clear that your choice was correct.

Even when they couldn't contact you, the riders at the station still voluntarily set aside your 13,000 yuan performance bonus, waiting for you to appear.

After Xiaolei's mother weathers the crisis, she plans to return the 10,000 yuan to you.

The remaining amount is an additional reward from headquarters, totaling 23,000 yuan. Please collect it from the first drawer at the bottom of your wardrobe.

[Congratulations on obtaining the title: Cao Cao of the Eastern City.]

[Your charm has increased significantly, making it easier for you to win the favor of married women. You are the true Cao Cao!]

Congratulations! You have received: an unopened love letter.

This is an ordinary love letter with no profound meaning. If one were to interpret it in depth, it would represent proof that a sincere relationship exists in this world.

As life goes on, some promises remain forever young. Perhaps after time has passed, the love in the love letters will only remain on the surface.

But it still represents a moment of genuine purity that appears out of thin air in the world at the moment a love letter is written.

In this complex and cold world, there is someone who loves you so much.

Please collect it from the first drawer of the wardrobe.

The settlement CG has been unlocked and can be viewed at any time.

"They said it wasn't a dating sim, and there were even CGs to watch!"

A scene slowly unfolded in Lu Yuan's mind, a completely different experience from playing games.

He could only watch, but had no way to participate.

The scene unfolds primarily from Shang Qingya's perspective.

He saw Shang Qingya delivering food on her electric scooter on the street. Since it was a very ordinary perspective, he wondered if he could fast forward a bit.

I didn't expect it to actually fast forward.

This game is truly advanced.

"Wow, you actually persevered. You've got some skills."

As Lu Yuan watched, a maternal smile graced her face.

Look at you, smiling like an auntie.

He ran around the streets wearing a helmet, just like a Super Jett.

Of course, not all of them are such adorable scenes.

During her delivery work, Shang Qingya also encounters all sorts of problems, such as falling down, pushing her cart in the rain, and being verbally abused by customers.

These are unavoidable troubles in life.

But she is a strong girl and didn't cry when faced with these things.

However, he would often secretly weep while looking at the many banners left on the wall by Lu Yuan when no one was around at the station.

She became increasingly quiet and rarely showed the innocent and adorable side she once had.

Lu Yuan sighed and muttered to himself:

"That's good, at least we'll have enough for living expenses from now on."

Lu Yuan was generally pleased, having saved a lovely girl's life; it was an accomplishment no matter how you looked at it.

Until the very end of the CG, he saw Shang Qingya praying at the table.

At this moment, Shang Qingya changed into a clean and neat black nightgown, and her long black hair flowed down her shoulders.

She tilted her head expressionlessly. On the table, there was not only a basic tarot deck, but also an astrological chart.

Instead of drawing cards as usual, she placed a broken card in front of her, a card of eternity torn in two, with a leaping ouroboros drawn on it.

She carefully wrapped the card along the broken edge with thread.

This method is not very stable. Compared to using tape, its advantage is that it is not easily noticeable at first glance, and the cracks can still be clearly seen through the transparency of the tape.

Wrapping the crack with thread can cover it up.

"Lu Yuan, I'm going to be cruel to you this once too, and then we'll entwine like an ouroboros and never be apart."

Shang Qingya sat on the desk, tilting her head and looking out the window.

The room was completely silent.

Looking at the road from afar sends chills down my spine.

The CG ends here.

He thought he could observe Shang Qingya's life from the very beginning.

After watching the CG, Lu Yuan's mind went completely blank.

He opened his eyes and stood there stunned on the bed for a while.

Immediately, a violent feeling of dizziness suddenly appeared.

Only after things calmed down did I look up at the clock on the wall and roughly estimate when I entered the game.

He entered the game on February 28th, and it is still February 28th now.

It's just that time has changed.

He remembered that he entered the game at around 4 p.m., and it was a little past 12 p.m. now.

"Eight hours? That's really the length of a nap. Am I dreaming?"

Lu Yuan recalled the memories of the simulation in his mind.

Unexpectedly, everything faded away slowly, just like a dream.

This is a perfectly normal physiological phenomenon.

People forget their dreams because the brain actively filters and passively fades them through four mechanisms: sleep, neurotransmitters, memory structure, and information characteristics.

Essentially, it's about protecting the memory system and reducing cognitive burden.

Lu Yuan didn't think too much about it; his head was still throbbing.

I simply followed the game's instructions and opened the first drawer under the wardrobe.

Sure enough, there were neatly stacked banknotes and a letter inside.

Lu Yuan pulled out the banknotes, but left the letter inside.

These 23,000 yuan saved my life.

"Open the door!" came a rapid knocking sound.

Even from a distance, one can tell who it is without opening the door.

"Today is your final deadline. If you can't come up with the money by then, you'll have to move out."

The landlady always comes to the door in the middle of the night.

Because of the distance, he's never home; he's either working here or there.

You can only find people blocking the road at midnight.

They frequently default on rent and can't be found.

It's easy to imagine how the landlady treated him.

Therefore, on the way here, the landlady had already thought of the words to scold Lu Yuan.

But the moment the door opened...

Her eyes immediately lit up.

"Xiao Lu, why do you smell strange?"

"Excuse me, ma'am, this is the rent for next quarter."

"No rush." ​​The older sister smoothed her hair and peeked half her body into the doorway.

"Xiao Lu, what's the point of all your hard work? You still can't afford the rent!"

I'll still try my best.

Lu Yuan quickly stuffed the money out, practically pushing the older sister out.

Because the landlady weighs almost twice as much as him.

The rent issue has been resolved.

Lu Yuan returned to his room and stared intently at the remaining 20,500.

The reason he dared to enter the game without hesitation was...

It's because his situation is so bad that it can't get any worse than it is now.

He used four words to describe himself at the time.

Both parents have passed away, I am recovering from a serious illness, I am penniless, and I have nowhere else to turn.

The phrase "both parents have passed away" is easy to understand; literally, it means that his parents died unexpectedly when he was very young.

It's easy to understand why someone recovers from a serious illness, since the illness is a hereditary disease.

His father had schizoaffective disorder and was experiencing a bipolar disorder episode, so he drove his car and slammed on the gas to intercept a bus, resulting in the deaths of both his parents.

Lu Yuan also inherited his father's symptoms.

Therefore, he would also like to rationally suggest that if there is a family history of hereditary diseases, then one should think twice before having offspring.

This disease is difficult to cure completely, but fortunately he has been cured.

However, years of seeking medical treatment everywhere had left him penniless and even in debt, and had even delayed his studies.

He could only apply for a leave of absence from school.

Where do you think he got his advice to Shang Qingya from?

These are all the paths he came from.

"Finally, I can live a normal life."

Lu Yuan looked at the 23,000 yuan in his hand; this was more than just money.

It was his rent, his college tuition, the foundation for restarting his life, and the capital to pay off his debts.

"Everything is moving in a positive direction."

Thinking about this...

After leaving the simulation game, I felt dizzy and lightheaded, so I lay down on the bed again and fell into a deep sleep.

He needs to catch up on his sleep because school starts tomorrow.

Nanjiang University of Science and Technology, I'm finally here!
