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

Wait, Jean isn't really a masochist, is she? Does that mean all female knights can't escape the fate of being a masochist? What a pitiful profession...

Tsumugi Kujo was gloating in her heart, but she suddenly remembered that she had also been a female knight in The Sims, and she couldn't laugh anymore.

Well, this must be Jean's own problem, and has nothing to do with the profession of female knight. Stay away from her to avoid being infected with the masochistic virus.

On the way back to the carriage, Kujo Tsumugi silently distanced himself from Qin.

The atmosphere in the carriage today was particularly depressing.

Since leaving Mondstadt, Tsumugi Kujo has been sleeping with her eyes closed most of the time in the carriage (actually she was reading the news from the simulation system). After the first night, Venti, who was scolded by Tsumugi Kujo, began to become depressed and even lost the mood to play the harp in her hand. On the second night, which was after last night, Jean didn't talk much because she felt guilty about doing something secretly to Tsumugi Kujo. Diluk is a taciturn person, so there are very few people talking in the carriage today. If this trend continues, everyone in the carriage will become mute before the carriage reaches the ruins of the Wind Dragon.

Although Kujo Tsumugi knew this, she was too lazy to care. The simulation had not ended yet. She had to complete the simulation before the carriage arrived at the Wind Dragon Ruins. Only in this way could she enhance her strength. She had no energy to care about such a small matter. Besides, when the carriage became quiet, Kujo Tsumugi could concentrate on dealing with the simulation system. She wished for this.

However, the atmosphere in the car was very painful for Ying and Paimon. After raising the topic several times but no one responded, Paimon got angry and turned into stars and disappeared into the air. Seeing that even Paimon had left, Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I say, do you want to continue in this lifeless state until you reach the Wind Dragon Ruins?"

"If you want to chat with me, just tell me earlier. I can definitely make you become autistic, just like Wendy." Tsumugi Kujo replied.

"You still say that! It's not your fault that there's this atmosphere in the carriage now!"

"I'm just telling the truth. You see, Barbatos didn't refute it, which means that at least most of what I said is correct." Kujo Tsumugi gestured to Ying to look at Barbatos in the carriage.

"Even if what you said is true, you should at least choose a euphemism...at least consider the feelings of the listener."

"Of course I can, but it's too much trouble. I'm too lazy to do it. I don't plan to have a good relationship with Barbatos, so why should I consider his feelings? Besides, has he ever considered the feelings of others? Did you know that the 'lady' who stole Barbatos's Heart of God was from Mond? Five hundred years ago, she... Never mind. I won't say more."

Kujo Tsumugi shook her head and was too lazy to say so much to Ying. She was just a traveler. She would leave this world after finding her brother. This was Ying's goal. She never regarded herself as a part of the continent of Teyvat, so her perspective on the problem was naturally different.

The reason why Tsumugi Kujo pointed out Barbatos' dereliction of duty so bluntly was that he hoped that he could realize the burden on himself, pay more attention to his own country, and learn from Morax next door.

In the long run, this is a good way to cure the problem. But Ying doesn't care about it. She will leave this world sooner or later, so she doesn't care about the future. In her opinion, as long as everyone defeats the Wind Dragon and lives happily and peacefully, it will be fine. As for Mond's long-term economic downturn? The Knights of Favonius are too weak? What does this have to do with her?

In Ying's view, as long as the symptoms are treated, she will be fine. As for the "root cause treatment", she has never even thought about it. After all, she is just a traveler, so why should she consider the root cause treatment?

As a member of the continent of Teyvat, especially as a monster with a lifespan of thousands of years, it is natural for Kujo Tsumugi to consider the fundamental solution. Although it is a bit nonsensical for Kujo Tsumugi, a native of Inazuma, to be in charge of Mond's affairs, the people of Mond are immersed in a superficial peaceful life.

As long as it does not conflict with Kujo Tsumugi's interests, Kujo Tsumugi actually cares about the grassroots people. After all, in her previous life, there was a saying that "when one is in a high position, one should worry about the people." Of course, the premise is that it does not conflict with her interests.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Seeing that Ying and Kujo Tsumugi were about to quarrel, Qin on the side hurried to smooth things over.

"If Lord Barbatos really starts to govern Mondstadt seriously from now on, it will be a blessing for Mondstadt." Diluk glanced at Barbatos who was sitting next to him. The latter just held the harp in his hand with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Afterwards, in order to take Ying's feelings into consideration, Qin and Diluk also started chatting in the carriage. At least on the surface, the carriage became lively again.

And Tsumugi Kujo continued with her own life simulation...

Chapter 95: Riot at the Wind Dragon Ruins (4000 words)

In the simulation system, Tsumugi Kujo and the Witch of the Gun have investigated all the slaves in Mingguan Gorge one by one, but have not found any news about her parents, so they came to the Wind Dragon Ruins, which is the old Mondstadt.

[As soon as you arrive at the Wind Dragon Ruins, the scene in front of you will shock you: although the former towers and cities have become ruins, their scale is still much larger than the current Mondstadt. And around the old Mondstadt are shabby tents. These tents are crowded with people. The number of people serving as slaves here is even greater than the number of residents living in Mondstadt.]

[Even though you and the Witch of the Gun have seen many tragic scenes in your travels over the years, the scene before you still shocked you. The arrogant Lawrence soldiers walked among the skinny slaves with whips in their hands. When they saw a slave working slowly, they would walk up to him and whip him. The slaves could only endure the soldiers' whipping and ugly curses and lower their heads to continue their work.]

[“Those bastards of Lawrence! A bunch of beasts! Bah!” This scene made the Gun Witch, who was full of justice, curse out loud, and you nodded in agreement. ]

[You have all seen what the Lawrence family did in Mondstadt over the years. They attacked the Mondstadt nursing home and kicked the Mondstadt kindergarten. They never did anything that had anything to do with humans. Even the cruel and merciless demon god had the Lawrence family emblem tattooed on his back to give himself courage. But you didn't expect that the soldiers in the Wind Dragon Ruins far away from Mondstadt did things that were even more cruel than the Lawrence family.]

[Looking at the scene in front of you, you closed your eyes and clenched your fists, finally calming yourself down. ]

[“Let’s take our time to search…” you said.]

[It is not easy to find your parents among these slaves, because there are Lawrence soldiers patrolling everywhere. The only way you and the Witch of the Gun can think of is to find a hidden place to live, and then observe the lives of the slaves from a distance every day. In theory, as long as the observation time is long enough, sooner or later you will be able to see all the slaves. ]

[This method is simply stupid, but you can't think of any other plan. You and the Witch of the Spear are very confident in your skills. Even if you face more than ten enemies, you believe that you can escape unscathed. However, a cursory glance at the Lawrence soldiers in the Wind Dragon Ruins shows that there are more than several hundred of them. There may be thousands or even tens of thousands of Lawrence soldiers in the entire Wind Dragon Ruins. The two of you are no match for them at all, so you can only choose this stupidest but safest way.]

[Half a year later, you still haven't found your parents, and you slowly start to feel like giving up.]

[Originally, when you saw the abuse suffered by the slaves in the Wind Dragon Ruins, you had almost no hope of finding your parents here. One of them had a lame leg, and the other had dysentery and couldn't get out of bed. Even if your parents were sent here, they would have been beaten to death by those brutal soldiers. After such a long time, you gradually accepted the reality that your parents might have died, and planned to leave the Wind Dragon Ruins and return to Mondstadt with the Witch of the Spear to start a new life.]

[The reason why you gave up the idea of ​​continuing to look for your parents was largely due to the Witch of the Gun. In the past six months, she has been sleeping outdoors with you without any dissatisfaction or complaints, which has deeply touched you. You can't bear to let the Witch of the Gun continue to suffer with you in the wild, but you also know that as long as you don't say it, she will definitely not take the initiative to leave, so you plan to give up looking for your parents and return to Mondstadt with the Witch of the Gun.]

[One night, you told the Witch of the Gun all your thoughts.]

[“…Have you really thought it through?” The Witch of the Gun looked at your profile, her eyes full of heartache.]

[“Hmm…” You closed your eyes to hide your hesitation. When you opened them again, your eyes were full of determination. “Let’s go to Mondstadt together, or return to Liyue.”]

[“It’s because of me that I…”]

[“No, this is my own wish.” You interrupted the Gun Witch before she could say anything. “Given my parents’ bodies, even if they were transported here, they would have already… I just think I should move on.”]

[“I’m sorry…” Although you keep saying that it’s not because of the Witch of the Gun, the Witch of the Gun knows you inside out, so how could she believe such words? She hugs you and kisses you.]

[And you also actively responded to the Witch of the Gun. You need to vent the grief in your heart in this way. ]

[However, just when the atmosphere in the tent was just right, a violent noise outside the tent interrupted what was happening inside the tent. You and the Witch of the Gun looked at each other, immediately put on your equipment, picked up your weapons, and walked out of the tent, only to find that the Wind Dragon Ruins were in complete chaos.]

[The fire burned down the tents where the slaves lived. The slaves pushed and shouted at each other and ran away. Even though Lawrence's soldiers tried to establish order by killing people, it was useless. Instead, it had the opposite effect. The soldiers' killing not only failed to establish their authority, but also aroused the bloodiness of the slaves. ]

[Some bold slaves raised their fists and punched Lawrence's soldiers, and their actions aroused the emotions of other slaves. At first, the soldiers were barely able to resist, but soon, as more and more slaves resisted, those soldiers were quickly overwhelmed by slaves who were more than ten times their number.]

[However, compared to the number of slaves killed, the deaths of the soldiers were nothing. In addition to the small number of slaves who were killed directly by the soldiers, a large number of slaves died in the flames, trampling, and beatings by other slaves. At this time, the lone slaves who lived outside the Wind Dragon Ruins because of being excluded seized this opportunity and escaped from the Wind Dragon Ruins when the soldiers were not paying attention, and may become the biggest winners.]

[You and the Witch of the Spear didn't know what had happened at the Wind Dragon Ruins that caused such a mess, but you quickly made a decision: Run! The farther the better!]

[On the way to escape, you also encountered slaves who escaped from the Wind Dragon Ruins, but those people seemed to be bloodthirsty. Seeing that you and the Witch of the Gun were well-equipped, they mistook you for Lawrence soldiers and attacked you without saying a word.]

[You and the Spear Witch showed no mercy, swinging your spears continuously and quickly killing all the slaves. Although you sympathize with the suffering of these slaves, you and the Spear Witch are not saints. The moment these slaves attacked you, they became enemies, and you don't need to show mercy to your enemies.]

[You and the Witch of the Gun successfully escaped from the Wind Dragon Ruins and hid until the next morning. When everything was settled, you planned to...]

[1. Leave the Wind Dragon Ruins and return to Mondstadt.]

[2. Leave the Wind Dragon Ruins and return to Liyue Harbor.]

[3. Return to the Fenglong Ruins and investigate what happened last night.]

Well... based on my previous experience in solving problems, if there are two short and one long, choose the longest one, so I chose 3.

After choosing the third option, Tsumugi Kujo also entered the immersion mode, because if her guess was correct, this should also be a side quest... right?

[Although there is a saying in Liyue that curiosity kills the cat, you and the Witch of the Spear could not help but be curious and returned to the Wind Dragon Ruins the next day. You were surprised to find that the place was very different from last night. A group of people in uniform were dealing with the bodies of the slaves and Lawrence soldiers who died last night.]

Entering immersive mode...

"What should we do? Should we go up and make contact with them?" Kujo Tsumugi had just entered the immersive mode when he heard the Gun Witch next to him asking for his opinion.

"Well... let's observe it for a while longer."

There is currently no way to confirm whether these people are enemies or friends, so Kujo Tsumugi chose the safer option.

Looking at the soldiers in uniform working, Kujo Tsumugi suddenly felt that they looked familiar, but because the distance was too far, Kujo Tsumugi had to treat it as an illusion. However, soon, a woman with long fiery red hair, wearing exotic mercenary clothes, showing off her wheat-colored skin appeared behind those soldiers.

"Isn't this Vanessa? Why is she following these people? No, it should be why are these people following her!"

Seeing Vanessa appear, Kujo Tsumugi also recognized that those soldiers in uniform were the Munata warriors who fought against the evil dragon Ursa with them in the arena half a year ago.

Now that you have confirmed that the enemy is a friend rather than a foe, you and the Gun Witch came out from your hiding place and shouted hello to Vanessa in the distance.

Vanessa saw you from a distance, was stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Ms. Tsumugi, Miss Spear Witch, I never expected to meet you here."

Vanessa gave Kujo Tsumugi and the Gun Witch a warm hug. People who have experienced life and death together always find it easy to build trust. Even though Kujo Tsumugi and Vanessa had only met once half a year ago, they both had a great liking for each other.

"Why are you here, with all these soldiers?"

Tsumugi Kujo pointed at the Munata warriors behind Vanessa.

"This is a long story. Let's go into the house first and talk about it slowly." Vanessa led the two to a relatively intact house and then began to explain.

It all started after I parted with Kujo Tsumugi more than half a year ago.

Because Wendy saved the Munata tribe, Vanessa had a great liking for him. Originally, Vanessa wanted to take her people away from Mond and live in other countries, but at this time, Wendy made an unreasonable request to her.

That is to ask Vanessa to defeat the Lawrence family and save Mond.

Due to the previous interference by Kujo Tsumugi, Vanessa and her friends learned that Wendy was the Wind God Barbatos. Hearing that the Wind God needed her help, Vanessa agreed without hesitation. As for the Munata people, most of them went to other countries, but many people still chose to stay and help Wendy. In this way, Vanessa established a secret force outside Mond City to resist the Lawrence family.

"We decided to name it the Knights of Favonius. What do you think? It's a good name, right?" Vanessa said to Kujo Tsumugi and the others with some pride.

Tsumugi Kujo: ...

What should I say? Should I help the Knights of Favonius change their name?

"But after a long time, our development speed is very slow. After much thought, we decided to come here, hoping to absorb some slaves to join our knights."

They are truly worthy of being the Knights of Favonius, specializing in garbage collection.

Thinking of the scene last night when those slaves rushed up to kill him and the Gun Witch as soon as they saw them, Kujo Tsumugi was completely speechless.

By accepting such people who have extreme hatred towards the nobles into the Knights Templar, aren't you afraid that the Knights Templar will become a large terrorist organization?

"So, Barbatos is here now? Please forgive me for rejecting him, but that guy and I don't get along well, so it's better for us to stay away from him."

Tsumugi Kujo is still somewhat interested in overthrowing the Lawrence family. You have to know that the Lawrence family has accumulated a huge amount of wealth in the past thousand years. Any bit of it that Tsumugi Kujo takes can be sold at a sky-high price in Mond in reality. After all, those are antiques that record the criminal deeds of the Lawrence family. Presumably, the wealthy people of Mond will be willing to pay a high price for them.

But when he thought about working with Wendy, he gave up. Kujo Tsumugi was afraid that he would act on impulse and directly join the Lawrence family.

It doesn't matter. You two can act independently and don't need to obey our orders. We just hope that you can share the intelligence you obtain with us. Of course, our intelligence will also be disclosed to you. How about it?

Even though Tsumugi Kujo has clearly expressed her refusal, Vanessa still wants to try to get them to join the Knights, because in the previous battle with the Demon Dragon Usa, both Tsumugi Kujo and the Witch of the Spear showed courage and strength far beyond ordinary people. Now the Knights are short of manpower for development, and Vanessa really wants to recruit these two talents under her command.

This... doesn't seem bad? This is almost certainly a side quest.

Faced with such a condition, Tsumugi Kujo was really tempted, but she still turned around and asked the Gun Witch for her opinion.

"We can agree to it, but you have to agree to one condition." The Gun Witch said to Vanessa, pointing a finger at Kujo Tsumugi.

"While we are serving you, you must help Tsumugi search for her parents' whereabouts, and you must not stop us from rescuing her parents under any circumstances."

Hearing these words, Kujo Tsumugi had to admit that his heart skipped a beat.

This damn woman is so good at flirting!

If you flirt with me like this again, believe it or not, I will fall in love with you!

Tsumugi Kujo glared at the Spear Witch fiercely, leaving the latter confused.

Chapter 96 Target: Lawrence Family!

(If you see this chapter without paragraphs, just refresh it)

After some thought, Kujo Tsumugi still couldn't resist the temptation of the side quest and chose to join the Knights to assist Vanessa. However, the requirements were exactly as mentioned just now. Vanessa and the others did not have the right to order Kujo Tsumugi, but only had the right to suggest what they should do. Compared to joining Vanessa's army, the relationship between Kujo Tsumugi and Vanessa was actually more like a transaction, or cooperation.

Hearing that you agreed to join the Knights, Vanessa smiled and began to formally introduce the Knights to Tsumugi Kujo and the Witch of the Spear.

Currently, there are only more than seventy people in the Knights Order, most of whom were Munata warriors in the arena at that time, and some were slaves who joined the Knights Order a while ago. However, with the liberation of slaves in the Wind Dragon Ruins, the Knights Order will definitely usher in a major expansion period. However, it is conceivable that the first action brought such a huge loss to the Lawrence family. Next, the Knights Order should face the crazy revenge of the Lawrence family. This is also the reason why Vanessa urgently wants Kujo Tsumugi and the Witch of the Spear to join.

After saying hello to Vanessa, Wendy headed for Liyue, as if she wanted to do something, but Kujo Tsumugi didn't care about it.

After joining the Knights Templar, Tsumugi Kujo also discussed her future plans with Vanessa. Tsumugi Kujo revealed to Vanessa that she and the Witch of the Gun were actually the righteous thieves who had become famous in Mondstadt in recent years, and could continuously provide her with intelligence on the nobles in Mondstadt.

After that, the three of them talked in the room for another hour, mainly talking about the subsequent information transfer work. After everything was confirmed, Kujo Tsumugi and the Gun Witch said goodbye to Vanessa and walked back towards Mondstadt.

Exiting immersive mode...

[Unlike the last time you rushed to the Wind Dragon Ruins, this time you encountered many more robbers on your way back to Mondstadt. Most of them were slaves who escaped during the chaos that night. They had no other skills to survive and could only become bandits. These people made the already poor life of the people of Mondstadt even worse.]

[When you arrive in Mondstadt, the Lawrence family has already learned about the slave riot at the Wind Dragon Ruins, and is preparing new slaves and soldiers to go to the Wind Dragon Ruins to continue mining. Everyone in Mondstadt may be reduced to a slave for various reasons, and everyone in Mondstadt is in danger.]

[A few days after you returned to Mondstadt, a new group of slaves was escorted out of the city. In order to prevent these slaves from rioting, the Lawrence family learned their lesson this time and sent out many of their elite soldiers. However, this inevitably reduced the Lawrence family's defense force. You and the Witch of the Gun planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to do something ruthless - sneak into the Lawrence family's warehouse and steal.]

[In the past few years, because you and the Witch of the Gun were afraid of directly offending the super-large Lawrence family, your theft targets were mainly small and medium-sized nobles. This was the first time you stole from such a behemoth as the Lawrence family, so you made a careful plan and made various contingency plans to ensure the safety of this theft.]

[Half a month after the slave team from Mondstadt left, you and the Witch of the Gun have made full preparations. You heard that the head of the Lawrence family invited the Wandering Earth Band to perform in the Lawrence family today. You plan to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big splash!]

[Under the cover of darkness, you and the Gun Witch put on night clothes, carried your weapons on your back, and quietly walked out of the hotel where you were staying. Although the act of stealing with long guns on your back makes people wonder if there is something wrong with your brain, considering that it would be fatal if you were discovered without weapons, you and the Gun Witch still chose to bring weapons. ]

[You successfully entered the Lawrence family's mansion when the guards changed shifts, and then slowly moved forward in the yard. You finally found the location of the warehouse and knocked out the guard, but what you didn't expect was that the warehouse guard didn't have the warehouse key, which put you in a difficult position.]

Oh... How unprofessional. It's hard to imagine that this is an error that a chivalrous thief who has been stealing for several years would make.

After seeing this message, Kujo Tsumugi shook her head and started to move her body.

Although it is understandable that gathering intelligence on the Lawrence family is a very dangerous and difficult task, it is too hasty to rush in to steal without even determining the location of the warehouse key. Didn't they say that they had made various contingency plans before?
