Genshin Impact, there is something wrong with my life simulation system

[There are still more than twenty Kanreya people in the cave. If you want, you can easily kill them all, but you hesitated.]

[The Kanreya people in the cave were either gray-haired, skinny old men or children who hadn't even grown all their teeth. There were a few adult men and women, but they were all seriously injured and couldn't even get up. They could only lie on the ground and wait to die.]

[At this moment, you suddenly realize that the dozen or so Kanreya soldiers you just killed are the only remaining protectors of this group of refugees. Without those soldiers, this group of elderly people and children would have no way of getting food. In other words, if they continue to stay here, they will surely die.]

[But there was no way to persuade these people to leave, because after the fall of Kanreya, the seven gods returned to their respective countries and slaughtered the Kanreya people who had survived by chance. If these people left the cave and were discovered by the wind god, they would also die.]

[Just as you were thinking about what to do, something strange happened. The people of Kanreya in the cave suddenly held their heads and wailed loudly. Then their bodies began to change. Their original skin began to turn dark, their bodies became shorter and more hunched, and their facial features shrank into a ball, becoming extremely ugly. At the same time, they began to exude the breath of the abyss.]

[You are very familiar with such humanoid creatures, because they are the most common monsters active in various parts of the continent of Teyvat - the Hillocks. ]

[The Hillbillies all attacked you. Even though you were in a daze, your body had already developed the instinct to defend against the enemy after long-term training. In addition, the strength of these newly transformed Hillbillies was extremely weak, so you easily killed them all.]

[When you came to your senses, you saw the bodies of more than 20 dead Hillock people. You were shocked to see one of the secrets of the world with your own eyes. Thinking of the Hillock people you had killed before, you felt your stomach churning and couldn't help but vomit while holding onto the wall.]

[Not long after, the team you led found you and brought you back to Mondstadt in a depressed mood. They didn't know what happened to you, but just thought you were overworked. You didn't tell anyone what you saw, because you had a vague feeling that if this secret was made public, Mondstadt would become the next Kanria.]

[After returning to Mondstadt, Rustan saw that you were distracted and gave you a vacation. You used this time to start thinking.]

[Hicchu people are the most common monsters found throughout the continent of Teyvat. Now that you know that the so-called Hilichu people are transformed from humans, where did the Hilichu people on the continent come from before the Kanreyan people were transformed into Hilichu people? ]

[The answer is obvious. Perhaps there was once a country similar to Kanreya on the continent, but it angered the Seven Gods for some reason, and then the country was destroyed, fled to other places, and finally became the Hill Chow people.]

[Why? Aren't gods supposed to protect humans? But why did they destroy Kanreya? They didn't do anything wrong. They were just trying to survive.]

[You can't help but think of the group of Kanreya people who traded with your father when you were a child. Kanreya is located underground. Sunlight, land, and water are all rare resources for them. Therefore, their food is scarce, and they can only exchange precious minerals with people from other countries for food. When they receive the food from your father, they will also show a gentle smile from the bottom of their hearts. ]

[They are no different from people in other countries. The only difference is... Kanreya is a country founded by humans without gods. Unlike the other seven countries, it is not founded by gods.]

[“Because the country established by humans threatened their own rule, the seven gods united to destroy Kanreya.” — You came to this conclusion due to insufficient information. ]

[In an instant, you suddenly feel that this world is extremely absurd. Because the actions of these gods completely violate the ideas they usually preach, the "freedom" of the wind god, the "justice" of the water god, the "kindness" of the ice god... At this moment, their ideas seem so ridiculous to you. ]

[“So we are nothing but playthings of the gods…” You muttered to yourself. Then you walked to the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius with heavy footsteps and proposed to Rustan the idea of ​​quitting the Knights of Favonius.]

[You want to leave Mondstadt and go to ruins around the world to prove your guess. If your guess is correct, there should be a country built by humans before Kanria that has been destroyed by the Seven Gods.]

Chapter 22 The Attack of the Demonic Dragon Durin

[However, the leader of the Knights of Favonius rejected your request to leave the group because a dragon named "Durin" was wreaking havoc in Mondstadt at the time and the Knights of Favonius were short of manpower. Under such circumstances, Rustam was unable to convince the leader to let you leave Mondstadt.]

[Finally, Rustam could only come to you, hoping that you could temporarily postpone your plan to leave Mondstadt and wait until the dragon Ursa was defeated. Considering the relationship between you and Rustam, you agreed.]

[Age 18: The second year after Rosaline left, you still stayed in Mondstadt, nominally still the captain of the guerrilla team, but since you understood the truth about the so-called monsters a year ago, you have never carried out a mission again, and you practice your swordsmanship in Mondstadt every day.]

[The situation in Mondstadt has become extremely tense. The rampage of the Demon Dragon Durin has caused Mondstadt to suffer huge losses. The wind god Barbatos has disappeared after wiping out the remaining Kanreya people in Mondstadt. The leader of the Knights of Favonius is formulating a plan to defeat the Demon Dragon Durin. The atmosphere in Mondstadt is extremely depressing, like the calm before the storm...]

[At your coming-of-age ceremony, Rustam gave you a set of pure white gorgeous armor. Unlike the armor of the Knights of Favonius that focuses on flexibility, this set of armor he gave you focuses more on practicality and is much stronger in defense than ordinary Knights of Favonius. When you put it on, you found that this armor was unexpectedly light. After you asked, you learned that this armor was attached with magic. Not only is it very light to wear, it also has functions such as automatic cleaning and automatic temperature adjustment.]

[You like this armor very much and thank Rustan very solemnly. ]

[Soon after the coming-of-age ceremony, the plan to conquer the Demonic Dragon Durin was officially finalized. Following the order from the leader of the Knights of Favonius, the deputy leader Rustan led all the elite knights to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, vowing to completely conquer the Demonic Dragon Durin. You are also a member of the expeditionary force.]

[You made up your mind that after this battle, you would travel around the continent while Rosaline was still not back to Mondstadt to verify whether your conjecture was correct.]

"Wow, this is a great flag..." The real Kujo Tsumugi shook her head when she saw this news. She knew the result of this expedition - although the dragon Durin was indeed conquered, the deputy commander Rustam died from his injuries, and the expeditionary army also suffered heavy losses. Less than one-tenth of them returned to Mondstadt alive.

Tsk tsk, it seems that this simulation is almost over, Tsumugi Kujo shook her head and thought. Tsumugi Kujo in the simulator is just an ordinary person who doesn't even have the Eye of God. She doesn't think she can survive this battle.

[After half a month of traveling, you have entered the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain area, and the demon dragon Durin is currently staying at the top of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain. Under the leadership of Rustan, the expeditionary army is heading to the top of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain with the determination to win.]

[Another week has passed. You are now less than half a day's journey from the top of the mountain, so you begin to rest and prepare for the next battle...]

"Entering the important plot, then entering the immersive mode..."

"Trigger the side quest: Sudden attack."

"Mission content: You are gathering your strength to prepare for the next battle, but you don't know that your actions in the past few days have been seen by the magic dragon Durin, and it wants to give you a little surprise while you are resting."

As soon as she entered the immersion mode, the sudden drop in temperature made Kujo Tsumugi immediately wake up. The biting cold wind blew in through the gaps in the armor, making her shiver.

Even though the armor worn by Kujo Tsumugi had the function of regulating temperature, the temperature in the snowy mountains was indeed too cold for Kujo Tsumugi. It was hard to imagine how other knights could march here in such cold weather.

Along with the biting cold wind came an extreme sense of crisis as if death was imminent. Kujo Tsumugi had this feeling before. It happened when he led a team to wipe out the Fatui and encountered the Fatui executive officer "Scattered Soldiers". That kind of tense feeling was like the god of death putting his scythe on your neck, as if the sharp scythe would chop off your head in the next second.

The sense of crisis that Kujo Tsumugi feels now is ten or even a hundred times stronger than it was back then.

Looking around, the other Knights of Favonius seemed to have sensed nothing and were still busy with their own affairs.

"Everyone! Return to your posts and prepare for battle! The Demon Dragon Durin is coming soon!" Kujo Tsumugi shouted loudly in the temporary rest camp.

After hearing what Kujo Tsumugi said, the surrounding knights were stunned, and then looked at Kujo Tsumugi with confusion.

"Why, didn't you hear what I said?"

At the critical moment, Kujo Tsumugi had no time to explain. Seeing that the knights around her did not follow her orders, she stomped her feet in anger, and then immediately ran to the largest tent in the middle of the camp to find Rustan.

"Hurry up and alert all the knights, the magic dragon Durin is coming!"

"what?!"

Hearing what Kujo Tsumugi said, Rustan immediately became alert, but he still asked in confusion: "How do you know?"

"There's no time to explain. If you don't take precautions, it will be too late!"

"Roar!!!"

As soon as Kujo Tsumugi finished speaking, a huge dragon roar was heard in the sky outside the snow-capped mountains. Kujo Tsumugi and Rustan immediately ran out of the tent to check, only to see a giant dragon more than 20 meters long circling in the sky, emitting an ominous dark aura.

"Everyone pick up your bows and arrows and prepare to meet the enemy! All owners of the Eye of God, gather together and proceed according to the plan from the drill!" Rustam, who is truly worthy of the name "Little Wolf", reacted immediately after a brief moment of daze and gave orders to the rest of the knights.

The rest of the knights also responded quickly according to the order. The ordinary soldiers picked up their bows and arrows and aimed at the giant dragon in the sky, while the owners of the Eye of God gathered together and secretly condensed the elemental power. As long as the magic dragon Durin dared to fly down to attack, he would be greeted by countless arrows and various elemental bombs.

However, unexpectedly, the Demon Dragon Durin did not feel the threat below at all. He just kept circling in the air, roaring once or twice from time to time to make everyone extremely nervous, but did not make any other movements. After roaring for about ten minutes, the Demon Dragon Durin waved its wings behind him and flew directly towards the top of the snow mountain.

Go, go?

The behavior of the Demon Dragon Durin left the knights confused. They thought a fierce battle was about to happen, but they did not expect that the Demon Dragon Durin just left like that. The knights all breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Kujo Tsumugi felt a sense of crisis that not only did not decrease but became even more intense after the Demon Dragon Durin flew away.

As if to confirm the sense of crisis in his heart, Kujo Tsumugi watched with his own eyes as the Demon Dragon Durin's huge body of more than 20 meters slammed fiercely into the top of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain...

Chapter 23: The Dragon Dies, Heading to Liyue

"boom……"

The soft snowflakes naturally could not withstand the impact of such a huge body, so they began to slide down the mountain like dominoes. Under the action of inertia, one snowflake drove another snowflake to slide down together, and soon formed an overwhelming momentum.

This natural disaster has a special name - avalanche.

"Owners of the Eye of God! Protect the ordinary people around you!" Rustan still calmly gave orders to the knights around him, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the huge noise generated by the avalanche as soon as he shouted. Not to mention others, even Kujo Tsumugi beside him did not hear his orders clearly.

Faced with a natural disaster that was completely beyond human control, the Knights Templar chose to follow their instinct for survival and immediately threw away their bows and arrows and ran down the mountain.

Tsk, these people are so stupid. How can human beings outrun an avalanche?

Tsumugi Kujo thought as she saw this scene.

Tsumugi Kujo ran behind Rustan, dug a small hole with her hands, and then curled up her body as much as possible to fit into the dug hole. At this moment, she was extremely grateful for her petite figure, which saved her a lot of trouble.

In fact, what Kujo Tsumugi is doing now is also very dangerous. Although the weight of a snowflake can be ignored, there are a lot of them. Dozens or even hundreds of kilograms of snowflakes can crush a person to death if they fall on him. If Kujo Tsumugi does what she is doing, she will either be swept down the mountain by the avalanche or be buried directly in the snow. Either way, it is very dangerous.

Tsumugi Kujo is also well aware of this, but there is no other good way out in this situation. At least it is better than doing nothing and waiting to die. Besides, Tsumugi Kujo is not alone - don't forget that there is Rustan standing in front of her.

According to historical records, Rustam finally died at the hands of the dragon Durin, so he must have survived this avalanche. If I stay around him, at least my chances of survival will be higher, right?

Tsumugi Kujo thought to herself, and then she felt a huge impact, and her consciousness fell into darkness...

"Side quest: Sudden attack completed."

"Immersive mode has ended. The rewards for this immersive mode are being calculated..."

"You successfully survived this side mission. Reward: You can continue the simulation."

"Huh?" Seeing this reward, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but exclaimed.

In other words, according to the original "plot", Tsumugi Kujo was going to die in this avalanche, but because of her actions in the immersive mode she avoided death, so the simulation can continue?

Tsumugi Kujo couldn't help but think of the last simulation. If Tsumugi Lawrence survived in that simulation, in which direction would the simulation system develop?

[Your decision saved your life. Rustan knew you were hiding behind him, so he consumed most of the elemental power in his body to reduce the impact of the avalanche. Although you still fainted in the impact of the avalanche, you finally saved your life.]

[When you woke up and crawled out of the snow, the battle with the Demon Dragon Durin was almost over. Rustan and a dozen God's Eye owners fell to the ground and were dying. In the sky, a giant green-blue dragon was fighting with the Demon Dragon Durin.]

[You know that dragon? It is one of the followers of the wind god Barbatos, Tevarin, known as the "Guardian of the East Wind."]

[In the end, mortals still cannot control their own destiny, and can only survive under the protection of gods? - Seeing the demon dragon Durin who was obviously at a disadvantage in the sky, you suddenly had this thought in your mind, but you immediately put it aside and hurried to Rustan. When you saw his injuries, you couldn't help but gasp. ]

[Rustan's abdomen was cut open, and black blood was gushing out. After the avalanche, the first aid tools in the camp were taken away by the avalanche. And none of the God's Eye owners present had awakened the water element. In other words, the people present could not provide any treatment for Rustan. Rustan was so seriously injured that he was sure to die.]

【Rustan also knew that he was about to die, so he called you to his side, hoping that after his death, you and Rosaline would live well in his place. He also called other owners of the Eye of God and told them some things, and then the "young wolf" Rustan closed his eyes forever.】

[At the same time, the battle in the sky also came to an end. Tevarin bit the dragon Durin's neck and tore off its head. Black blood gushed out like a fountain, and the dragon Durin died. After Durin's death, Tevarin also wanted to recover from his injuries, so he took you all out of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain area and flew away.]

[After saying goodbye to Tevarin, you did not choose to return to Mondstadt with those owners of the Eye of God, because returning to Mondstadt at this time would inevitably be regarded as a hero in the fight against the dragon Durin, but you did not help at all in this battle, and you thought you were not qualified for this honor. Moreover, Rustam was dead, and Rosalin was far away in Xumi, so there was no one in Mondstadt worthy of your nostalgia, so you planned to follow the original plan and go to other countries on the continent before Rosalin returned to Mondstadt to verify your guess.]

[So after handing Rustan's body over to those who possessed the Eye of God, you said goodbye to them and began to travel the continent alone. You planned to go to... first.]

[1. Liyue.]

【2. Sumeru. 】

【3. Rice wife. 】

"These three options... Let me think about it. Liyue should be facing the threat of a monster tide at this moment. Inazuma should be the one causing trouble because of the white snake. Xumi is in chaos because the Grass God died at the hands of the Kanreya people... My goodness, why do I feel like I can't survive anywhere I go?"

Kujo Tsumugi rubbed her head in distress, and for a moment she didn't know which country to choose.

After much hesitation, Kujo Tsumugi finally chose the country of Liyue, because if nothing unexpected happened, she would visit Liyue in a year. Using the simulation system would affect the characteristics of reality to a certain extent, which might bring some advantages to her trip to Liyue a year later?

[After thinking about it, you still decided to go to Liyue. First, Liyue and Mondstadt are close neighbors, so it is convenient to travel. Second, Liyue is vast and rich in resources. During the Demon War, the various demons fought a cruel and long-lasting battle for this rich land. Therefore, Liyue's documents record past events in great detail, making it easier for you to find the possible godless country. ]

[So, you set off for Liyue. ]

PS: I changed it several times, but finally decided not to write about the battle with the dragon Durin, so I'll just skip it.

Chapter 24: Travelers in a Foreign Land

[After just a few days in Liyue, you can already feel the difference between Liyue and Mondstadt. ]

[After the fall of the Kingdom of Kanreya, the number of Hilichurls in Mondstadt increased dramatically, causing serious damage in Mondstadt. However, although there are also many Hilichurls wreaking havoc in Liyue, most of them are monsters that exude a dark aura. ]

[These monsters have no similarities in appearance. They are simply multiple animals or humans put together. They look extremely disgusting, but they are powerful and numerous. Therefore, even though Liyue's strength ranks among the top among the seven countries, the degree of damage is still serious. ]

[Three days after entering Liyue, you rescued a girl from a monster. She said she was from Liyue Harbor and had come to Wangshu Inn to do business. Unexpectedly, a sudden monster surge appeared in Liyue, and she and some other people were trapped in Wangshu Inn. This time, she was just out for a walk, but she was attacked by monsters. Fortunately, you rescued her.]

[From this girl, you learned about the current situation in Liyue. Monsters are rampant in Liyue, and the roads are almost impassable. Liyue Harbor is surrounded by various monsters. The immortals lead the Thousand Rock Army to protect Liyue Harbor. However, a place like Wangshu Inn is far away from Liyue Harbor. Even if the Liyue Seven Stars want to save it, they are powerless. Fortunately, there are very few monsters around Wangshu Inn, so these people can stick to Wangshu Inn for a year. ]

[After introducing you to the current situation in Liyue, the girl invites you to Wangshu Inn and hopes that you can stay until the immortals and the Thousand Rocks Army eliminate the monster tide before starting your journey. What are your plans for this...]

[1. If you don't have a woman in your heart, you will be a god if you draw your sword. Your journey has just begun, how can you be stopped by a woman? ]

[2. What the girl said makes sense. For safety reasons, we should wait in Wangshu Inn for the monster tide to end.]

Soon, two options were presented to Kujo Tsumugi.

"Choose 1."

Kujo Tsumugi chose option 1 without even thinking about it. You have to know that she chose to go to Liyue this time in order to use the characteristics of the simulator to gain some benefits for her real self. How could she just stop at Wangshu Inn?

Although this girl may have some "side quests", they are nothing compared to the main quests.

[You declined the girl's invitation to visit Wangshu Inn and decided to go to Liyue Harbor in person.]

[After the girl tried to persuade you to stay again and again but to no avail, she gave you the flowers she was wearing and promised to pray for you day and night. You were very touched and promised her that if you had the chance, you would find a way to rescue the people trapped in Wangshu Inn.]

[After bidding farewell to the girl, you continued your journey to Liyue Harbor. Along the way, you saved many people who were attacked by monsters, and also saw many villages destroyed by monster attacks. ]

[When you passed by an abandoned village, you were surprised to find that there were still humans left in the village. It was a man with golden hair and wearing strange clothes. The two of you met in the abandoned village and naturally started talking.]

[From the man who called himself "Kong", I learned that he was a stranger from another world. After coming to this world, his sister fell into a deep sleep, so he began to travel alone in the continent of Teyvat. ]

[“This is indeed a beautiful continent.” Sora showed a longing look, “To be honest, if it weren’t for the destruction of Kanria, I would have thought of ending my journey and living with my sister on this peaceful and prosperous continent. Unfortunately…”]
