Star Dome Railway, why are they also simulating!

Time passed quickly and soon it was noon.

Ron stretched. He only slept for twelve hours this time, which was already a very diligent day for him.

But as soon as he got out of bed with sleepy eyes, he noticed a folded piece of letter paper at the door.

Did someone slip a letter through the door?

Ron lazily picked up the letter and opened it. He simply glanced over the densely packed words on it and saw a small flower scribbled as decoration in the lower right corner of the letter, signed by Bronya Rand.

If we omit most of the caring words in this letter and only pick out the key words:

"Because it was too early and he found that I was still asleep, he left by himself. Can you give me a day off today?"

Ron looked at the letter in amazement and was shocked.

It turns out that Bronya is not a curly dog ​​who takes her subordinates with her, but a perfect boss who will do things herself and never bother her subordinates!

Oh my god, there is such a good thing... I have a job with a monthly salary of 1.5 million credit points and a day off the next day. How could I have such a dream?

Ron happily put away the letter. He was happy to have some free time since Bronya didn't let him work - and he could also avoid Sambo, so why not?

Sambo is a follower of [Joy] Aha, a masked fool who pursues perfect drama... If possible, Ron thinks it is better to have less contact with such people.

After all, no one knows whether they will be sold out by this guy all of a sudden and have to help him count the money. Ron is extremely cautious towards [Joy] and the Masked Fool.

But if today is a day off, what should I do?

Do you want to have fun in the Lower Class Area, eat all the delicious food there, or walk around every corner of the Lower Class Area and see the few stunning views there are?

With so many choices, Ron chose without hesitation... to play games.

The environment in the lower area is comparable to hell. Although Ron feels that such an evaluation is very hurtful, but...

It feels less like a life simulation game.

He casually ordered room service for today's special lunch, then lazily lay on the bed and opened the screen of the life simulation game -

【Life simulation game has been logged in. 】

【Welcome, player Ron. 】

He clicked to start the simulation, and new words appeared on the screen:

[In the 700th year of the City Building Era, you became Bronya Rand's personal guard and followed her to the lower level of Beloberg.]

【You've had a sloth-like night. 】

[The next day, you got a day off from Bronya herself. In order not to waste this wonderful day off, you decided to take a look around Panyan Town after dinner.]

[Walking on the road, you feel as if someone is following you]

[You met Xi'er, a member of the Earth Fire Organization. ]

【She starts chatting with you and asks you to walk around the lower level area with her. 】

【请选择——】

【1. Agree to her request. 】

【2. Reject her request.】

Didn't Xier say she was busy? Why did she seem so idle in the simulation?

Let's see what she wants to do...

Ron scratched his head and chose option number one.

The text on the screen faded, and new notes began to pop up:

[You agreed to Xier's request and traveled all over Panyan Town under Xier's leadership.]

[Under Seele's deliberate influence, you and Bronya, who was running around in Panyan Town at the time, missed each other several times. The most recent time you were only one street away from each other.]

[Under Xi'er's deliberate guidance, you saw the miserable situation in the lower level area of ​​Beloberg——]

[You see homeless people fighting for a little drinking water, and the final winner trembles as he lifts the water bottle, but accidentally knocks it over, spilling the life-saving drinking water on the ground;]

[You see skinny miners pushing carts full of marrow. They can't stop coughing while working, and their bodies tremble weakly, as if they have a strange disease.]

[You saw in the boxing ring of Rock Town, poor miners risked their lives, stepped onto the ring with their frail bodies, and faced the gleaming humanoid robots with hacksaws, just for a few dirty Winter City shields.]

[Xi'er leads you through a blocked passage, and you keenly sense that you are following Xi'er into the Rift.]

[Under her guidance, you stood on a high platform and saw another large city similar to Panyan Town.]

The note on the screen faded, and a new picture appeared on it:

"Do you know? This is Rivet Town, which used to be the largest commercial city underground. Most of the goods were circulated here."

Xier looked at the city from the high platform, her tone quite emotional:

"Do you see that building on the mountain? It used to be an orphanage. I grew up here."

"But now, all the memories have fallen into the rift and can never be found again..."

Ron listened to Xier's words quietly, and suddenly asked:

"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"You brought me here not just to chat with me, right?"

Xier nodded, the sentimental expression on her face faded, and she became a little serious:

"You are the guard brought down by the lady from the upper class district... I heard that she is the successor to the Grand Guardian and will become the new Grand Guardian in the future. But even so, I think your potential will be buried under her."

"Although this request is a bit shameless, the lower class district is already like this, and I can't care about face or not--"

Xier said, took out a red bandage and handed it to Ron:

"Are you willing to leave Bronya, join the [Underground Fire], and save the lower district?"

"The lower district needs you... I believe that only by being with me can you unleash your full abilities. I will never hold you back!"

..........................................................

PS: This chapter is 2500, and there will be an update later. Because of yesterday's upside-down schedule, my update was a bit messy...

I will try to solve the work and rest schedule problem within these few days, write some drafts, and then stabilize the updates in a certain period of time!

Chapter 26—I don’t have a dream, but I can protect my dream!

Ah? Xier wants to recruit me?

Ron couldn't help but be stunned.

He originally thought that only Bronya would recruit him in this game, but he didn't expect that when he walked to the lower level area, he would meet Seele, a hidden dragon who was planning something big...

But if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal to be recruited by Xier - after all, Xier wants to save the lower district, which is something she cannot accomplish alone.

In the last simulation, we can see that she directly integrated the lower-level areas and turned all the people who could be recruited in the lower-level areas into her own forces.

And he was probably a good helper that Xier had targeted, otherwise why would she use such a deceptive tone to pull him into the group...

Just as Ron was thinking this, the image on the screen faded and a selection box popped up:

[You are infected by Seele's dream. Your loyalty to Bronya has slightly decreased. Please choose——]

[1. Then, there is only one answer! I will be loyal to you! (Break the cane)

If you choose this option, you will lose your status as Bronya Rand's guard, join the "Earth Fire" organization, and become a member of See's team. 】

[2. A loyal minister does not serve two masters. I am Bronya's bodyguard for one day and I will be Bronya's bodyguard for the rest of my life!

By choosing this option, you will resolutely reject Seele, retain your identity as Bronya's guard, and solidify your faction. You will not be able to betray Bronya and join another faction.

[3. Good birds choose trees to inhabit, good ministers choose masters to serve. Whether I can join the Earth Fire depends on your performance.

Select this option, and your attitude will become "unpredictable". After a week, you will be able to trigger an option to choose whether to join the underground fire.

During this week, if Xier wants to prove herself to you, her pressure value will increase every day. 】

Looking at the three options on the light screen, Ron hesitated.

To be honest, he really didn't want to be tricked by Bronya, the rookie, anymore...If he could change sides, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

However, Ron didn't really want to join Seele's camp directly - after all, Bronya was the next Grand Guardian, and being able to access Beloberg's highest power in Bronya's camp would naturally save him from a lot of trouble.

If I join Seele's camp, I will directly become the lowest of the lowest people in Beloberg...The boss in the upper class is the boss, can a small miner in the lower class be compared with Bronya, the boss among the bosses in the upper class?

So who is more deceptive, Bronya or the identity of the lower class district?

Ron thought for a long time, and suddenly heard a brisk knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Sister Goldie standing outside the door, holding a tray in her hand, and said to Ron:

"Hey, little brother, this is the special for today - rat meat jelly and mixed vegetable soup. Please enjoy it~"

Ron subconsciously looked at the tray, and then saw the black aspic and a bowl of colorful...soup.

The bowl of soup was glowing with neon blue light, as if whispering to Ron:

"Drink it, Ron, this is the fate of the Beloburgs..."

Are these things really what people eat?

Ron was silent for a moment, then gave Goldie an elegant but awkward smile:

"...Sister Goldie, I'm not used to these dishes. Do you have any other dishes in the restaurant?"

"Not used to it?" Goldie was stunned. "Then...how about braised newt meat in a tin and Beloberg sausage? And some fried salt-baked crab?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you..."

Ron pinched his nose, sent Goldie away, and sat back on the bed, looking at the light screen and thinking about life.

Just like the food we just saw, what should we choose when we can’t tell the good from the bad?

Of course the third option is the best choice as long as it is not worse than the above two options.

The same options apply to simulation games.

He selected option number three. The text options on the screen faded, and the previous scene continued to play.

"I need some time, Xier...I will give my choice in a week."

Ron looked at Xi'er with an unfathomable expression:

"I once had a dream like you, which was to save Beloberg...to keep this city alive in the endless snowstorm, so that this planet would not fall into death."

"But I tried my best and found that everything I did was meaningless... Is there any possibility of saving Beloberg?"

"I couldn't find the answer, so my dream died."

As he spoke, he smiled as if to mock himself, his tone somewhat carefree:

"However, although I don't have a dream, I can protect the dreams of others——"

"If you want me to choose you, prove it to me."

"Let me see your dream, brighter than Bronya's."

"Prove to me that you are more determined and mature than she is in saving the lower district and saving Belloberg."

"This way, I have a reason to choose you, right?"

Actually... didn't refuse directly?

Xier opened her eyes slightly - she had just wanted to try to recruit Ron, this was just a test.

But Ron didn't say anything definite. Instead, he used this unpredictable attitude to show that he wanted to test her.

His loyalty to Bronya was far from enough to keep him trapped and killed by Bronya's hands.

There is a chance of success! It can be done!

Xier tightly grasped the red band in her hand, her tone full of determination:

"Only those who have experienced suffering can understand the weight of 'salvation'..."
