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

[2. Continue your own research and refuse the king's commission.]

"Finally the options are out. Even though I only used one million Mora for this simulation, there are too few options this time." Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but complain, and then decisively chose an option. Only a fool would not choose an option that is obviously a side quest.

[These days you have been admired by everyone in the Kingdom of Kanreya, and the king has treated you well. Now that the kingdom is in trouble, you naturally cannot sit idly by, so you agreed to the king's request.]

[“Very good!” The king was very pleased to hear your answer and nodded to a personal guard beside him, “Then I’ll leave the rest to you.”]

[“Yes, Your Majesty!” The personal guard replied respectfully, and then took you out of the palace and came to an uninhabited courtyard in the noble district, entered the basement, and opened a secret passage.]

[“I believe that Lord Gold also knows that our Kingdom of Kanreya does not believe in any gods, so there are no demon gods protecting our citizens.”]

[“So, the previous kings came up with an idea. Since no demon is willing to protect us, why don’t we create our own mechanical demon?”]

[“With the support of this idea, the “Mechanical Demon God” plan was born…”]

[You two follow the secret passage and come to an empty and tidy room. Dozens of researchers in white coats are thinking and communicating here. Behind the transparent glass, there is a mechanical demon several tens of meters high.]

[The scene before you shocked you. After seeing the Mechanical Devil, you felt your own insignificance.]

[“Miss Huang Jin… please come up with a code name for yourself.” The guard whispered in a voice that only you can hear: “This is to protect your true identity. Here, everyone is referred to by a code name.”]

[“Can’t you just call me Gold?”]

[“This name is too prestigious in the kingdom. Please think of another one.”]

[“What a hassle… Then just call me Rhinedot.” You scratched your head and thought of a name.]

[“Then please follow me, Ms. Reindort. I will introduce you to your future colleagues…”]

[And just like that, you joined the most secret plan of the Kingdom of Kanria.]

[These colleagues have very high alchemy skills, even better than the royal alchemists. With their help, you quickly adapted to your new job.]

[These people...maybe they are the best alchemists in the entire Teyvat continent. You couldn't help but guess in your heart.]

【Under the guidance of your colleagues, your theoretical knowledge has been further improved, and thanks to this, your own research progress has also advanced by leaps and bounds. 】

【21 years old: "According to the currently known information, if the energy of the earth vein penetrates into the human body, it can make the human body stronger, but as a price, that person will become irritable and angry, and eventually become a beast who only knows how to kill..."

[On this day, you taught your apprentice as usual. ]

[“Then Mr. Huang Jin, can we think of a way to use the energy of the earth veins to strengthen the human body, and then protect the human spirit from being affected in some way?”]

[“In theory, it’s possible.” You replied, “But in reality… it’s impossible.”]

[“Many people will die if this kind of research is carried out, so no alchemist will do this kind of research... at least as far as the people I know are concerned, no one is doing this kind of research.”]

[“Then we can go research it!” Hearing you say that, your apprentice immediately became excited, “If we can really come up with any results, it will definitely be a great achievement.”]

[“As for the issue of alchemical materials… just use death row prisoners. They are going to die anyway.”]

[“Your thoughts are dangerous.” You frowned upon hearing your apprentice’s words, “Dismiss those extreme thoughts immediately!”]

[Other alchemists were not fools either. They had thought of using death row prisoners for human research, but they were just thinking about it and no one dared to actually do it.]

[“I see. I will only use animals for research.” Your apprentice said.]

[22 years old: Not using living people for research is your last and most unbreakable bottom line - you always felt this way until later, an accident happened.]

[That day, you were working, but due to your colleague's negligence, the energy of the earth veins leaked, and you were unfortunately contaminated with some of the energy of the earth veins. Then, several strange pictures suddenly appeared in front of your eyes: the scene was still in the Kingdom of Kanreya, but the peaceful scene was gone, and people were screaming and shouting with terrified expressions on their faces. Thunder, lightning, fire, strong winds, and frost were harvesting people's lives wantonly. Many people died inexplicably before they even understood what happened.]

[The cultivators and hunters of the Kingdom of Kanreya were trapped in place by the vines, and they were not able to play their due role. At this time, the tens-meter-tall Mechanical Demon was slowly started, and its huge body easily broke through the rock formation above its head and flew into the sky to fight with the invaders...]

[Is this... a scene from the future? ]

[I don’t know why, but you seem to be very sure that this is what will happen in the future.]

[The Kingdom of Kanria will be destroyed.]

[“Tsumugi, are you okay?”]

[At this time, your colleague's shout brought you back to your senses, and you found yourself still in the secret laboratory researching the Mechanical Demon God, and the colleagues around you looked at you with worry. ]

[“Um… I’m fine…” You simply responded to your colleague, but a huge wave of emotions was stirring in your heart.]

[Why was Kanria destroyed? Who was the enemy? ]

Your mind is filled with questions.

Chapter 156 Changes in the body

[23 years old: From that day on, you would see scenes from the past or the future from time to time. Your colleagues thought you were injured in the accident, so they suggested to the king that you take a temporary rest.]

[The king is also concerned about your health. Although you have always said that you are fine, the king still ordered you to stop working until you recover.]

[Under the king's strong pressure, you can only suspend your work and concentrate on solving the abnormality that has appeared in your body. ]

【So, you start looking for a solution to your current situation. In other words, you start using living people for human experiments. 】

[There are many cases of humans being eroded by earth vein energy in the Kingdom of Kanreya, but your situation is obviously different from others. Therefore, while using death row prisoners for human experiments, you also examined your own body and compared the results with those of others. This made you quickly realize that you were different. ]

[Your body is much more friendly to earth vein energy than others. When earth vein energy invades your body, it will hardly cause any harm to you. Others will often feel severe pain when invaded by earth veins. When the earth vein energy in your body reaches a certain level, the surface of your body will begin to turn black, and your originally strong body will begin to shrivele, turning into a dark and ugly hill man.]

[You have already absorbed more than three times the energy of the earth veins than an ordinary person. Not only do you not feel any discomfort, but you feel that your body has become stronger. You can run a thousand meters without getting red in the face or out of breath. This was something you could never imagine before.]

[As a price, you are forced to watch the scenes of the past and the future more frequently, but this also proves that your situation is related to the earth vein energy in your body, so the next step is to find a way to clear the earth vein energy accumulated in your body. ]

[The first thing you think of is the Chaos Furnace Core of Kanreya. The last time you came to the Kingdom of Kanreya, you transformed the Chaos Furnace Core, which originally only stored the energy of the earth veins, into one that could automatically absorb the energy of the earth veins, completely solving the energy storage problem of the self-regulatory organs of the Kingdom of Kanreya. You want to use the transformed Chaos Furnace Core to "absorb" the earth vein energy in your body. ]

[The experiment failed. Although part of the earth vein energy in your body was indeed sucked away, I don't know what happened to your body. When the earth vein energy in your body dropped to a certain level, your body began to actively absorb the earth vein energy in the earth like a vacuum cleaner. You were so scared that you hurriedly stopped the experiment. You still value your own life.]

[At present, your body seems to like the feeling of being filled with earth vein energy. It has completely turned into the shape of earth vein energy and can no longer live without it. ]

Uh... what a bad statement.

[Since there is no way to get rid of it, you start to think about how to coexist with it. As of now, the earth vein energy in your body has no other side effects except that you occasionally see some useless images. However, so much earth vein energy has been in your body making you feel uneasy all the time, and you are afraid that you will become a hillbilly one day. ]

[Just when you were thinking about how to solve the abnormality of your body, your apprentice found you. ]

[“Master, I have completed the research on awakening the girl named Ying.” Your apprentice handed you the experimental log, which recorded the method he had researched to awaken Ying.]

[“But in order to wake her up, you need the blood of your loved ones, so…”]

[“I understand. I will write to Dainsleib and the others.” You looked at the experimental log and thought that this method of awakening Ying was feasible. You nodded and then went to Ying’s room alone.]

[Ever since your body absorbed the energy of the earth veins, you handed over all the research on fluorescence to your apprentice, and you haven't come to this room for more than a year.]

[Looking at Ying lying on the bed like a sleeping beauty, you seem to be infected by her peaceful sleeping face and feel sleepy. Ever since the accident, the earth vein energy has been agitated in your body all the time, which makes it difficult for you to sleep well. But at this moment, the usually restless earth vein energy has calmed down. ]

[You lie down beside Ying, planning to take this rare opportunity to take a nap, but you soon realize why the earth vein energy in your body calmed down after you entered the room? ! ]

[You turn your gaze to Ying, then leave the room. The earth vein energy in your body begins to stir again, but when you enter the room, it calms down again.]

[I don't know why, but as long as you stay by Ying's side, the earth energy in your body will calm down. ]

[After reaching this conclusion, your sleepiness immediately disappeared, you picked up the syringe, drew a tube of Ying's blood, and devoted yourself to the research again.]

[After your research, you found that Ying's blood seemed to have a natural restraining effect on the earth vein energy. The domineering earth vein energy immediately became a good boy when facing Ying's blood. No one knows why.]

[You have tried drinking Ying's blood directly, you have also tried injecting her blood directly into your body, and you have also tried to purify her blood before drinking it, but these methods are unable to eliminate the earth vein energy in your body, and you can't even make it weaken, you can only keep it calm. ]

[“Why on earth is this happening? Are you forcing me to eat Ying’s flesh?” You complained madly, making a fuss.]

[Although I don't understand the principle, as long as you carry Ying's blood with you, the earth vein energy in your body will not be a problem. ]

[But you can't carry someone else's blood in your pocket every day, so you poured Ying's blood on the national flower of the Kingdom of Kanreya - the Intivat flower. The Intivat flower has an interesting characteristic. If it is in the territory of the Kingdom of Kanreya, it is just an ordinary flower with a strange appearance, but once it leaves the Kingdom of Kanreya, it will gradually become very hard. ]

[You can blend Ying's blood into the Intivat flower, and then take the Intivat flower away from the Kingdom of Kanreya. This way, the blood in the flower will enter a "permanently fresh" state. However, this method has a disadvantage, which is that you will never be able to enter Kanreya again. Otherwise, the Intivat flower will become soft and withered again, and Ying's blood will become ineffective.]

[You cherish your life in the Kingdom of Kanreya, but you cherish your life even more, so you immediately start to prepare for your departure. You hand over the research notes that have been with you for many years to your apprentice, and put the Qilin egg you brought with you to the Kingdom of Kanreya into your backpack. After greeting the King of Kanreya, you take Ying and walk back to the ground.]

Chapter 157 The storm is coming

【24 years old: “It’s so good to be alive…”】

[In the city of Mond, you drank a bowl of warm soup in a restaurant and expressed the above feelings.]

[This morning, you arrived at Mondstadt. After tidying up your room all day, you finally had a moment of free time. You came to the restaurant to have lunch, but you didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.]

【"Ms. Tsumugi?"】

[Looking back, the person who spoke was Rustan, the famous "Young Wolf" in Mondstadt. The once immature boy has now grown into a handsome young man, with a gentle and elegant smile on his face. If those young girls who have never seen the world were here, they would probably scream with excitement. ]

[Rustan is wearing the standard equipment of the Knights of Favonius. You guessed that he had just finished a patrol or garrison mission and was going home to eat after get off work.]

[“Oh, it’s Rustan. Long time no see.” You smiled and waved, and started chatting with Rustan. ]

[“Ms. Tsumugi, do you have a twin sister?” After chatting for a few sentences, Rustan suddenly asked this question. ]

[“No, what’s wrong?”]

[“Nothing… It’s just that one of my friends is also called Tsumugi, and she looks very similar to you, so I thought you would know her.]

[“It’s probably just a coincidence.” You said nonchalantly.]

[You didn't take Rustan's words to heart, but just ignored it. In the subsequent conversation, you kept complaining about what you had encountered in the past few years, while Rustan listened quietly and comforted you from time to time.]

[“You are still good. You became a captain in the Knights, you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you have a beautiful girlfriend to accompany you. Unlike me, I finally found a job, but was forced to give it up because of some things.” You lie on the table helplessly, feeling that your life is really unlucky. ]

[When you lived in Mondstadt, you heard that Rustan had a noble girlfriend named Rosaline. The two of them were a perfect match, a perfect match made in heaven.]

【“No!” Who would have thought that Rustan, who had been standing quietly by the side, immediately stood up after hearing this and explained in a panic: “Rosaline is just my friend. I have always treated her as my sister. It’s just that her father always urged her to get married, so I had no choice but to pretend to be a couple with me.”】

[“Flowing water is ruthless, but falling flowers are affectionate…” You raised your eyebrows and answered with such a seemingly plausible sentence. You don’t believe that Rosaline has never been moved by Rustan. You should know that Rustan is almost perfect in every aspect and is the dream lover of many Mondstadt girls and ladies. Unless that guy named Rosaline likes women, you don’t believe that she doesn’t like Rustan.]

【“Everything I said is true…” Seeing your expression, Rustan knew that you didn’t believe him at all, and immediately blushed and said, “Actually, what I like is… Miss Tsumugi…”】

【"ha?!?!"】

【Rustan's words shocked you so much that your jaw dropped to the ground, leaving a dent.】

[You and Rustam only chatted for less than half an hour a few years ago, and he fell in love with me now?! ]

[Although you are shocked, you are now Alice's lover, so how could you possibly accept Rustan's confession? However, it would not be good to reject Rustan directly, so you deliberately looked at Rustan with a very dissatisfied look.]

[“What is this? Love at first sight? Do you think reality is a fairy tale?” You rolled your eyes at Rustan. “According to the development of the fairy tale plot, the brave prince has to go through many difficulties and kill the evil dragon before he can marry the princess... You know what I mean, right?”]

[You rejected Rustan's confession in a very tactful way.]

[“That’s it, it’s getting late, I’m going to go back to bed.” You can see that Rustan is in a low mood, so you can only say goodbye in a hurry.]

[25 years old: In the first year after returning to Mondstadt, you did not continue to do any research. You made a lot of money in the Kingdom of Kanria in the past two years, and you planned to enjoy life first.]

[So your life for this year was basically eating, drinking and having fun in Mondstadt during the day, and returning to the alchemy workshop at night to hold Ying to sleep. I have to say, Ying's body was soft and fragrant, warm in winter and cool in summer, and very comfortable to hold.]

[In addition, you also awakened a new hobby during this year, that is, dress-up play. The reason is that you think Ying is always wearing her white battle skirt, which is too monotonous. You want to change her clothes when you have nothing to do, and you can't stop. ]

[You asked Ying to try all kinds of outfits, such as nun outfit, knight outfit, Liyue cheongsam, etc., and finally concluded that Ying looked best without clothes. Since then, Ying has always been naked. ]

[Sometimes, occasionally, you will use the firefly to do some self-decompression exercises, but I can't go into detail about this part, which is a pity. ]

[26 years old: After a year of eating, drinking and having fun in Mondstadt, you regrouped and returned to research.]

[First, the news from Kanreya is that with your research notes, your apprentice's alchemy level has improved by leaps and bounds. In the area of ​​biological alchemy, I'm afraid he has surpassed you, the master.]

[Then you finally received a reply from Sora and Dainsleb. Sora was very excited when he heard that his sister could finally wake up from her deep sleep. Most of the content in the letter was his words of gratitude to you. However, they cannot come to Mondstadt now because they have found Silkock. Silkock does not want to go back to the Kingdom of Kanria with them. They have to convince Silkock to return to the kingdom first.]

[After resolving the news from the Kingdom of Kanreya, you launched a new round of research on Ying's body. You have now determined that there is a magical energy in Ying's body. It is because of this magical energy that Ying's blood has a suppressive effect on the energy of the earth veins.]

[However, no matter how hard you try, you still can't extract even a trace of this energy, which makes you extremely anxious, just like a robber standing outside a bank vault who can't open the vault door no matter what he does.]

[For a whole year, your research has not made any progress and is still stuck in the initial stage. You have no choice but to give up, hoping to continue studying Ying's blood after meeting Alice again one day in the future... But by that time, I'm afraid that Kong and Ying will have left this world, which means there will be no chance to continue the research.]

[And so, another year has passed. ]

Chapter 158 The Reward is...Myself

[27 years old: This year, you heard a piece of news - the war broke out. ]

[The seven gods descended upon the Kingdom of Kanreya, destroyed the capital of Kanreya, and massacred the Kanreya civilians who had survived.]

[After hearing the news, you just sighed and hid in your alchemy workshop to continue your research. ]

[You have explained to King Kanreya more than once about the "future" scenes you have seen, but King Kanreya did not take any other actions except speeding up the Mechanical Demon God plan. He has always firmly believed that as long as he speeds up the development of the Mechanical Demon God, Kanreya's safety can be guaranteed. But now...]
