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

[Perhaps the Witch of Fire has quietly left this area, or perhaps she was killed by some monster.]

[After thinking it over, you decide to return to Wangshu Inn first, and then use the newly formed intelligence network to continue searching for information about the Flame Witch.]

[21 years old: Another year has passed. In your original expectation, you should have reunited with Rosaline since last year, and then the two of you should continue to live a peaceful life happily in Mondstadt... But in fact, you are still staying in Wangshu Inn. ]

[In the past year, you have been searching for news about the Flame Witch, but unfortunately, she has disappeared since you lost her in Qingce Village. She is like a ghost, appearing without warning and disappearing without warning. Except for the monsters and villages she burned, she left no trace in this world.]

[This year, you used carrier pigeons to contact the leader of Mondstadt and Tianquan Ningguang, and learned from them that Rosaline did not return to Mondstadt or arrive at Liyue Port... Every time you think of this, you feel a sense of despair.]

[Under your coordination, the joint operation between the Knights of Favonius and the Thousand Winds Army went smoothly. Under the pincer attack from the north and south, almost all the remaining monsters were eliminated at the border between the two countries. The remaining monsters are not a concern at all. It can be said that the monster tide in the north of Liyue has been completely resolved. ]

[Afterwards, Tianquan Ningguang transferred most of the Thousand Rocks Army back to Liyue Harbor, and a small number of the Thousand Rocks Army were dispersed in small teams around the Stone Forest to eliminate the monsters that had managed to escape. ]

[After most of the monsters were eliminated, the immortals saw that the situation had been settled, and they all returned to the mountains to live in seclusion. However, according to Zhong Li, there were also a few immortals who lived in seclusion in Liyue Harbor to prevent the monsters from suddenly erupting again. ]

[Boyang and Fushe are missing... A year ago, they led a team of elite Qianyan soldiers deep into the rock abyss, and never came back. You are very sad. Although you and Boyang have not known each other for a long time, you fought against the monster tide on the front line and against the Yaksha obsession in Wuwang Slope together. You can be considered as comrades in arms. Fushe saved your life. Although you don't want to think of the worst, the two of them have been out of contact in the rock abyss for a year, and the probability of survival is very small. ]

[However, their sacrifice was not in vain. Although the reason was unknown, about half a month after they led the team into the Rock Abyss, a huge collapse suddenly occurred inside the Rock Abyss, and then those endless waves of monsters never appeared again...]

[At this point, all monster waves in Liyue have been completely resolved, and peace has finally arrived. ]

[At the same time, under the leadership of the girl, the intelligence organization has developed very smoothly. Although the scale is not large, many people from the other six countries have joined the intelligence organization and have made some progress. ]

[According to the intelligence organization, the Ice God has been vigorously developing the military strength of the Winter Nation in recent years and reorganized the army. The reorganized army is called "The Fatui". The Ice God, who has never had any followers, has also begun to develop his own followers among mortals. Those followers are called "The Fatui Executives". Currently, there are two executives known to exist, "The Clown" and "The Lady". As for how many executives there are in total, the true identities of the Clown and the Lady, and their specific strengths, it is still unknown. ]

[In the same year, Tianquan Zhongli once again sent an immortal to Wangshu Inn as a high-end combat force for the intelligence organization. He was the dwarf wearing a mask and using the wind element that you had seen in the battlefield against the monster tide. After questioning, we learned that his name was Xiao. Like Fushe, he was a Yaksha, but he was the weakest in terms of age and strength among the five Yakshas... He might also be the last Yaksha left in the world.]

[Xiao's arrival has made Wangshu Inn's safety index soar. It is also because of his protection that the girl is able to devote all her energy to the development of the organization. ]

[22 years old: You waited for Rosaline in Wangshu Inn for another year, but you didn't hear any news from her this year either...Finally, you faced the reality and had to admit that Rosaline was dead.]

[That night, you hugged the girl and cried loudly, while the girl gently patted your back to comfort you. That night was the first time you took the initiative to cater to the girl's "attack." ]

[Under the girl's "comfort", you quickly recovered from the shock of Rosaline's death, and then heard another piece of news that shocked you.]

[According to the information from Liyue Harbor, Tianquan Zhongli died suddenly at his post due to his physical weakness caused by staying up late to handle official business for many years.]

[You are struck by lightning when you hear this news.]

"You are stupid, right? I would be stupid too. How could my boss suddenly die before I get paid?"

The real Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but complain.

No wonder Zhongli in the game plot would think of pretending to be dead, a unique way of retirement. It turns out he has a criminal record after all this fuss.

[However, before you could recover from the shock of Tianquan Zhongli's death, something even more shocking happened.]

[One day, when you were practicing swordplay as usual, a waiter from Wangshu Inn found you.]

[It is said that a nobleman in expensive clothes specifically wants to see you, and he calls himself... Zhongli. ]

Chapter 36 Farewell Girl

[Although you were confused, you still met the man who called himself Zhongli. The man was wearing an ancient rock-colored robe, his hair was a gradient black-brown color, he looked very handsome, and there was a unique temperament in his every move.]

[For some reason, you are sure that this is the first time you meet him, but Zhongli's every move makes you feel very familiar. ]

[“Ms. Tsumugi, long time no see.” Seeing you appear, Zhongli nodded and said to you: “I came to Wangshu Inn this time to fulfill the contract between us.”]

[Contract? You are confused. It is the first time you have met the other party. Where did the contract come from?]

[“You have successfully established Liyue’s intelligence organization as agreed, so I will naturally not break my promise. This time, I came here to tell you the secrets of this world in accordance with the agreement in the contract.”]

[You were slightly stunned by Zhongli's words, but you immediately realized that the man in front of you was Tianquan Zhongli, who you had met once several years ago and had been in contact with you through letters since then! ]

[You are shocked and don't know how Zhongli became Zhongli. ]

[But since he has come to Wangshu Inn to find you, you also want to hear what the truth of this world is. ]

[“However… due to some reasons, I cannot explain this to you in person. If you want to know, you can go with me to find someone who will be happy to tell you the truth about the world.”]

[“Where are we going?” you ask.]

[“I don’t know.” Zhongli shook his head and said, “That guy might be in Liyue, maybe in Mondstadt, or maybe in another country. It will take a long time for us to find him.”]

[“I… I understand.” After a moment of hesitation, you decided to follow Zhongli to travel the seven kingdoms, and then immediately went into your room to pack your luggage. ]

[“Are you… leaving?” As you were packing your luggage, the girl’s voice sounded behind you. ]

[You freeze in place, turn around to look at the girl, and then lower your head in shame.]

[“Although the monster tide in Liyue has been completely eliminated, there are still some that slip through the net. You must be careful on the road.”]

[Who would have thought that the girl didn't say anything to persuade you to stay, but walked up to you, helped you pack your luggage, and reminded you of the precautions on the road. ]

[“Also, in Inazuma, the demon god Orobas is leading the residents of the Sea Island to rebel against the God of Thunder. You’d better not go to Inazuma…”]

[“Mondstadt is your hometown. I believe you are more familiar with the situation there than I am. I will not elaborate on it.”]

[“You must be more careful in the Kingdom of Winter. We still don’t know the purpose of the Ice God in establishing the Fatui, and the atmosphere of xenophobia in the Kingdom of Winter has always been strong.”]

[The girl reminds you of things to be careful about, one sentence at a time, just like a virtuous wife who prepares luggage for her husband before he goes on a long journey.]

[You think of the girl's companionship over the years, and can't help but hug her gently from behind. ]

[“I’m sorry.” You whispered in her ear.]

[You know the girl wants you to stay at Wangshu Inn and accompany her. It would be best if you could be together forever, but this is impossible.]

[The girl is different from Rosaline. For Rosaline, you are willing to give up your own goals and live happily with her somewhere.]

[You do like girls very much, but... her position in your heart is never as high as Rosaline's.]

[Before leaving, you gave the girl a light kiss on her lips, and then followed Zhongli out of Wangshu Inn.]

[Before leaving, you can't even make a promise to come back here one day in the future, because you don't know whether you will return to Wangshu Inn after learning the secrets of the world. ]

[After saying goodbye to the girl, you and Zhongli began your journey around the seven kingdoms. Along the way, you took the initiative to draw your sword and destroy the monsters you encountered. A few days later, during a break, you asked Zhongli what he thought of your swordsmanship, and he commented that it was "very interesting."]

[“Excuse me, the swordsmanship that Ms. Tsumugi uses was not created by herself, but was taught by someone else, right?”]

【You nod.】

After receiving a definite answer, Zhongli spoke again: "If I were to describe it, the real strength of the West Wind Sword Technique used by Ms. Tsumugi is not its power, but its wide applicability."

[“West Wind Swordsmanship is like an unpolished jade. Depending on the usage habits of its owner, it can evolve into different attack styles.”]

"Hiss... You really are worthy of being the Emperor of Rock. You have a very sharp vision." The real Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but admire.

Just as Zhongli said, the West Wind Sword Art was indeed divided into many styles. For example, in the last simulation, the West Wind Sword Art - Royal Family, which was more ornamental than practical, was favored by the Mond nobles, and the West Wind Sword Art - Maid, which Noel used. It was a set of sword arts that could evolve into different styles according to the habits of the user.

[Hearing Zhongli's words, you were shocked. You didn't expect that Zhongli had seen through the essence of the West Wind Swordsmanship in just a few days. So, as it should be, you told Zhongli about your current situation.]

[Although you have practiced the West Wind Sword Technique for many years, you have never been able to form your own fighting style, which bothers you. ]

[“Everyone’s fighting style is different. If I blindly intervene, I might end up hurting Miss Tsumugi. However, the West Wind Swordsmanship that Miss Tsumugi is currently using still has room for improvement in some areas. If you don’t mind, I can improve it a little bit.”]

[“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Zhongli.” You were very excited when you heard Zhongli’s words.]

[Since then, under Zhongli's guidance, your swordsmanship has greatly improved. Before, when you used the West Wind Swordsmanship, there was always some lag in the switching between some moves, but Zhongli only gave you a little guidance, and you immediately understood it. After performing a set of West Wind Swordsmanship, it was like flowing water, and the previous lag disappeared.]

【You are very grateful to Zhongli. 】

[After a month of traveling, you and Zhongli arrived at the first country of the seven-country journey - Inazuma. ]

[At this time, the country of Inazuma was in chaos. The rebellion of the demon god Orobas, the abnormality of the sacred cherry tree, and the turmoil caused by the death of the previous thunder god made the people of Inazuma miserable. 】

[Under Zhongli's guidance, you came to the castle tower and met the God of Thunder, one of the seven legendary gods.]

Chapter 37 The Secret of the World, the Death of Gold

[You and Zhongli met the Thunder God, but the Thunder God was not in a good mood at the moment. Or rather... her mood couldn't be any worse.]

[The reasons for her bad mood come from various aspects. In the war that destroyed Kanreya several years ago, her sister, the former Thunder God, died in battle. After returning to Inazuma, the demon god Orobas rebelled. Even recently, the disaster was in trouble. Her other friend Kitsaigumi also died in the battle with the disaster.]

[But even so, Lei Shen still met Zhongli and you, and you were shocked when she spoke. ]

[“I wonder why Morax is visiting Inazuma Country at this time? What is his intention?”]

[Although you knew that Zhongli's identity was not simple, you didn't expect that he was the famous Rock God Morax. You thought he was just an immortal. ]

[But if you think about it carefully, you think this is a matter of course. Otherwise, how did Tianquan Zhongli make Fushe and Xiao obey her orders? ]

[“It’s just a contract between me and her.” Zhongli, who was called Morax by the Thunder God, said slowly: “She wanted to know who the real culprit of the disaster was, and she heard that a disaster had occurred in Inazuma recently, so I brought her to Inazuma, wanting to see if the real culprit who caused the disaster was in Inazuma.”]

[“Hmph! That rat!” Zhongli’s words seemed to have touched the sore spot of the Thunder God, and she exuded a strong murderous aura, “If that guy dares to set foot in Inazuma Country, I will tear him into pieces!”]

[“If he’s not in Inazuma, then you can just treat me and Ms. Tsumugi as tourists visiting Inazuma.”]

[After Zhongli finished speaking, he took you out of the castle tower. ]

[In the following year, Zhongli took you all over Inazuma. You saw the battle between the rebels of Kaido Island and the Tenryo Bugyo, learned swordsmanship from some wandering warriors, and witnessed the "Thunder God's Sword" used by the Thunder God to kill the demon god Orobas. ]

[One year later, Zhongli will take you to Xumi. ]

[23 years old: Zhongli led you to wander around Xumi for a year. At this time, Xumi was in chaos. You rescued many people who fled due to the war. The name "Bloody Knight" gradually spread in Xumi. ]

[24 years old: Zhongli leads you to Nata...]

[25 years old: Zhongli brings you to Fontainebleau...]

[26 years old: Zhongli brought you to the Kingdom of Winter. At this point, if you count your birthplace Mondstadt and your departure place Liyue, you have completed the achievement of traveling all over the continent. ]

[As you traveled through the seven kingdoms, the name of "Bloody Knight" has spread throughout the entire Teyvat continent.]

[“I hope that guy is in the Kingdom of Winterfell.” You said to yourself while looking at Winterfell City in the snow.]

[After so many years, you already know who Zhongli is leading you to look for. ]

[He is the Royal Alchemist of the Kingdom of Kanria——"Gold"]

[Many of the tragedies I have seen while traveling across the mainland in recent years were caused by him.]

[Mondstadt's dragon Durin, Liyue's monster tide, Inazuma's dark disaster...all these monsters were created by "Gold" using his alchemy. 】

[You also know why Morax, the God of Rock, disguised himself as Tianquan Zhongli and stayed in Liyue Harbor when Liyue was hit by a wave of monsters. In His words, this was His punishment for Himself.]

[“We, the Seven Gods, have brought unjust punishment upon Kanreya. Gold’s creation of monsters to attack Liyue was a justified revenge. Therefore, I did not personally protect Liyue. This is my punishment for myself.”]

[Even Zhongli, who had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, could not help but flash a trace of grief in his eyes while saying this. Watching the people he protected fall under the claws of the monster without helping them was indeed a cruel punishment for him.]

[Zhongli's words made you ponder. If you knew that this was an unjust punishment, why did you destroy Kanria? ]

[What were the seven gods thinking when they destroyed the Kingdom of Kanria? ]

[Whenever you ask Zhongli such a question, he will simply reply, "You will know after you find the gold." I don't understand what he is up to.]

[Finally, hard work pays off. After your and Zhongli's full search, we finally found the "gold" hidden in a cave in a snowy mountain in the Kingdom of Winter.]

[Even though many years have passed since the fall of Kanreya, Huang Jin is still wearing the ceremonial attire of the royal alchemist of Kanreya, and a white half-face mask with a gold-rimmed border on his face. He looks dignified, and does not look like the executioner who has committed countless tragedies across the continent.]

[“I will talk to him and try to get him to tell me as much information as possible. It’s up to you to decide what information you can get from him.” Before the battle begins, Zhongli whispered to you.]

[“So it’s the famous Lord Morax. I wonder what brings you to my humble abode?” Huang Jin also noticed Zhongli and you at the entrance of the cave, but his eyes only stayed on you for a brief moment before he focused all his attention on Zhongli.]

[“I wonder if Lord Morax likes the little gift I gave to Liyue?”]

[“The monster you created has been destroyed.” Facing Huang Jin’s sarcasm, Zhongli said calmly: “Huang Jin, you also know that destroying Kanriya is not the intention of the Seven Gods. Why don’t we each take a step back? I won’t care about the losses you brought to Liyue, and you should stop creating monsters to attack innocent people.”]

[“Just you?” Huang Jin looked at Zhongli with a mocking look, “Since when did the Seven Gods, who are lackeys of Heavenly Justice, have the right to ignore the will of their master and make their own decisions?”]

【Heaven... justice?】

[You caught this word keenly and paid close attention to it.]

[“It was your Kingdom of Kanreya who first used the power of the Abyss to try to kill the gods, so He ordered us to do it. In the final analysis, this is just your own fault. And we, the Seven Gods, are not His lackeys.”]

[“We are trying to kill the gods?! We just want to gain the power to protect the people from the gods! Otherwise, our Kanreya will sooner or later become the dust of history like the Kingdom of Findenir!”]

[“As for you saying that the Seven Gods are not the lackeys of Heaven’s Law, then tell me, do you dare to say the word ‘Heaven’s Law’?”]

【“…” Zhongli remained silent. 】

[“Look, if you don’t get permission, you don’t even have the right to address the master by name. And you still say you are not the running dogs of Heaven?” Zhongli’s silence made Huang Jin even more rampant. ]

[“Miss Tsumugi, please remember what he just said.” Zhongli took out a spear from the Eye of God and pointed it at you, saying, “I’m sorry, although I also want you to know more, but if you know too much at once, you will end up like those Kanreya refugees.”]

[After saying this, Zhongli instantly appeared behind Huang Jin, with the tip of his spear already piercing his heart.]

[This was a crushing victory of absolute strength. There was no need for any fancy moves or shouting out the names of his moves. Zhongli simply used his absolute speed to get behind Huang Jin and then thrust out the spear in his hand.]
