How rude, we are pure love!

074. Ba Nai Jian: You are the challengers! [Two in One]

The second simulation is about to begin.

Looking at Tongzi's prompt panel, Qingye calmly made a cup of warm milk, then did 20 minutes of stretching exercises to warm up his body. The hot water from the shower made his body more comfortable, and finally he lay down on the bed like a baby and covered himself with a quilt.

A veteran simulator player, every step is detailed, so professional.

Today's pure love warriors are invincible.

【The simulator has finished loading.】

[Start simulation? 】

[All the endings of the simulation are decided by you, especially the emotional aspects of the heroine.]

Is this Tongzi hinting at something?

Qingye let out a light click and decisively pressed the button to start the simulation.

[Simulation starting...]

[World line deduction in progress...]

[Checking character entries...]

[This simulation reserves the following talents for you: Brilliant Writing, Reinforcement Release, and Destiny Girl]

[Destiny Girl: When you are in danger, there will always be a girl to lead you out of trouble.]

Huh? Why is this the only item I need to repeat?

Qingye frowned, feeling that things were not simple. Fortunately, this simulation inherited the previous guaranteed talents, so at worst he could achieve a literary achievement.

[A talent entry for another world line has been deduced for you.]

[Photographic Memory (Fake): The strength of your soul gives you an excellent memory, and you can easily memorize the knowledge and text in books.

In addition: You can recall the excellent works from another world that you have seen, such as music, movies and TV shows.

[Master of Painting: You possess a certain talent for painting, and you can improve your skills through practice. When you hone your skills to the limit, perhaps you will become a master who leads the times.]

Bonus: Your nimble hands give you a unique understanding of doll making.

After carefully reading the new entry, Qingye's eyes lit up.

Why was Tongzi so generous this time? Whether it was his memory or his drawing skills, he had great talents. Although painters' works were jokingly said to be art only after death, their ceiling was extremely high. This was clearly a skill that could be continuously upgraded with practice!

His photographic memory would save him a lot of study time and allow him to get into the best university.

The goal of this simulation is clear, then.

The main task is to launch an attack on the achievements of the century's literary giants. The free time is used to continuously improve painting skills, memorize books and do exercises.

——As for the heroine? There are no heroines in my simulation world! I'm here to hone myself, not to woo girls!

Practice well.

Stay away from the heroine.

Qingye repeated it in his heart and nodded with satisfaction.

【Will you start a new and beautiful life? 】

"determine."

Qingye closed his eyes.

In a trance, it was as if his spirit had left his body. What a wonderful feeling! His understanding of the world gradually sublimated to a whole new level. The dust, space and energy in the air seemed to become substantial... He even had the illusion that he could touch time with his hand. Even the beautiful time and space and particles were right before his eyes.

【The second simulation officially begins.】

[The warm golden sunlight shines through the emerald green ivy, through the window, and onto you.]

You knew there was going to be a heavy truck crash today, but you went out anyway.

You have to save her once again.

You confidently thought, even though you were knocked away last time, this time, if you could get out early and divert the little girl from her original path, you could reverse their fate.

You succeeded. You put in a lot of effort and played with the little girl for an hour, until the iced black tea truck disappeared at the end of the road.

After bidding farewell to the little girl, you walked excitedly along the deserted path, unable to help but chant, "My fate is in my own hands!"

[But at this moment, you suddenly heard a sharp buzzing sound overhead. You looked up and saw a yellow helicopter with a large picture on it, its propeller spinning frantically.]

【“MAN!” Lao Da gave you a familiar smile and flew towards you in a helicopter.】

[You have once again painlessly traveled to the second dimension. ]

open one's eyes.

After blinking hard twice, his vision gradually became clear from blurry, like a mirror after the mist has faded, and countless scenes were reflected in his pupils.

He was standing on the street, with colorful signs and advertisements everywhere, which was very dazzling. People and cars were flowing continuously. When he looked up, a tram happened to pass by along the elevated track. The tinkling sound startled the cherry blossoms and snowflakes in the sky.

Tap, dong, dong, the sound of people's footsteps does not seem to be as hurried and heavy as in Tokyo, but rather has a leisurely and lively feel.

Qingye looked at the scenery in front of him, his eyes full of nostalgia. It had been a long time since he had felt this way.

But then again, there was one thing that was strange—the other people were so tall! Or maybe too tall!

He looked at the pedestrians on the roadside with a look of shock. From his perspective, these people were at least two meters tall! Had I traveled to the land of giants?

No, that's not right! It's not that other people have grown taller, but...

But...

Qingye slowly turned his head. To his right was the transparent window of a fashion store. The reflection on the glass revealed a face with soft yet childish lines. The boy in the mirror was indeed him—the ten-year-old him.

Banaijian's deep blue eyes shone faintly in the darkness.

She stared at the system panel in front of her with a serious face.

[Attention! Your hero has started a new simulation!]

You want to make progress secretly while I'm not paying attention, right? The blue-haired girl snorted. It goes without saying that there will definitely be other girls appearing in Qingye's simulation this time, and she must attack in the form of a god of war!

"How do I enter the simulation?"

Banaijian asked expectantly. She actually liked the simulation very much. She could reset her weight and eat as much as she wanted, and she could continue to interact with Qingye. It was perfect!

[Your current Simulated Cat Coins: 10]

[Actively entering a new simulation costs 5 points. After spending this amount, you will be given a year of free access. After that, every real year spent in the Sims will cost you 1 Cat Coin.]

This... She spent all her cat coins in just one simulation. When can she start the special simulation of married life?

Ba Nai couldn't help but mutter something.

[Warm Tip: You can only enter the simulation after the male protagonist reaches the age of sixteen, and your character will start from the third year of high school.]

In other words, she is one or two years older than Qingye this time? Now she really is the elder sister!

She was lost in thought. According to Ah Tong's description, this wasn't a different world line; it simply meant she appeared a little later...

That's fine, after all, it's only been a year or two. Considering the difficulty of conquering that guy, there's no need to worry at all!

The others were merely ordinary people who lived in an era without her.

Everything will be fine once I show up!

"It's just... uh uh, what a pity."

The blue-haired girl seemed to have turned into a roller, rolling back and forth on the bed, and her cute face was puffed up.

Her biggest regret was that she failed to pick up Qingye at the beginning of the last simulation. She wanted to take action in advance this time, but was ruthlessly rejected by Tongzi.

She had a hunch that this would be a very critical juncture!

And isn’t it too much to start with the third year of high school?!

When Banaijian thought of the suffocating pressure of the last simulation, her breathing stopped - last time she didn't even know if she had been admitted to the university of her choice. To be honest, the chances were slim, so this time was a chance for her to continue to improve her scores.

Banaijian let out a light breath, closed his eyes, and a confident smile gradually appeared at the corners of his lips.

So the declaration was made.

"You are the challengers."

"Okay, now what do we do?"

The young version of Qingye sat on a bench in the park, finally understanding his current situation and sighing.

As expected, he was transformed into his ten-year-old self, with his money and identity documents initialized, and the only thing left was his adult IQ.

"How can this Tongzi be so evil?"

Qingye couldn't help but complain. He thought the last start was miserable enough, but he didn't expect it to be even better this time.

Actually, in the long run, starting early in life is a good thing. This way, he can accumulate several more years. With three attributes in hand, he can easily achieve a super-god ending - but this start is too bad! In the past, he could at least survive the early stages by working part-time jobs and going to internet cafes, but this time, his path to success has been completely blocked!

Even in this simulated world, the heroine with whom she had established a bond was not there, so she couldn't even get a bite or two of free food.

I miss you, Lao Ba.

I miss you, Yukinoshita.

No matter who it is, come and let me have some free food.

However, there was only one option left before him.

"It's time to start begging again."

Qingye sighed. If there was no other way, he could only wait for the [Daughter of Destiny]'s attribute to take effect, or go to the police station or welfare home until he reached adulthood. However, this would greatly waste his early development time, and he would not consider it until he starved to death.

The only good news is that as your age goes backwards, the chances of getting gold coins increase significantly.

His stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound, Qingye sighed softly, and he had to start taking action.

First, find a broken bowl and wash it clean. Next, choose a piece of high-quality cardboard and tear it off. Then borrow a pen and write some lovely auspicious words on it.

Hee, hee, with such rich survival experience, how could you still be hungry?!

*

I earned 2,500 yen in just one afternoon setting up the stall.

Most of it was tips from rich ladies and older sisters. Qingye took this huge sum of money and happily went to a convenience store to order a meal - the extra money was enough to buy a small blanket and a drink!

"If I keep going like this, maybe I can complete the initial resource accumulation directly." He began to fantasize.

But what comes next is the real test.

As night falls, the shops on the street close one by one, the prosperity and bustle are extinguished, and only the shining neon signs and street lights illuminate the shadows.

In the shadows where no light could reach, some people lay on the ground, drawing little figures on paper with worn-out pencils to practice writing, while some homeless people huddled in a ball on chairs.

For a ten-year-old boy, the city at night is not safe - not only does he have to be wary of his companions, but he also has to be careful of people with bad intentions. However, Qingye's early wandering experience has given him a full sense of danger, and he found a hidden bridge hole in advance that is difficult for others to notice.

Lay a paper mat and cover yourself with a blanket, and you have it for life.

【Survival Diary】

The next day, your income has decreased. You've only eaten two meals today. It seems there aren't many wealthy women in this area. You think to yourself and decide to move on to the next area.

On the third day, you only ate one rice ball. Luckily, a kind little girl treated you to eel rice and gave you 1,000 yen—that was all she had. You secretly wrote down her name, hoping to repay her later.

[Day 5, dark clouds, it looks like it's going to rain soon these next two days, you can't help but feel a little worried, rainy days are the most terrifying weather for homeless boys.]

You were afraid of getting sick from the rain, so you didn't dare to continue setting the dishes.

【Today's income is zero.】

[But you remain positive and enterprising. The worse the situation gets, the more motivated you become.]

[You firmly believe that your destined girl will come to save you! ]

【If someone helps you, you will definitely repay her with your whole life! 】
