Chapter 3 - The future of the lower zone does not need you to bear the responsibility, Xier (k)
"I've already dealt with the wanderers who caused trouble with the mining team, Nata."
Xier walked into Natasha's clinic, exhausted, holding two boxes of medical supplies she had just found in the Rift, and said to Natasha casually:
"The conflict between the Rangers and the Miners has become more serious recently. I think we need to do more than just stop them when they are about to fight."
"Their conflict stems from the situation in the lower district. One day this contradiction will be out of control. Emperor... cough, this kind of situation must not happen in the lower district."
Xier placed the medical supplies in the corner of the clinic, her tone tinged with confidence, and she looked quite steady, as if she had the overall situation under control.
Compared to her in the last simulation, she now only lacks the cold temperament that penetrates deep into her bones.
After all, she is not as cold-blooded in reality as in the simulation, and cannot become the cold-blooded ruler in the last simulation.
But this doesn't mean that the last simulation didn't bring changes to Xier.
Having controlled the First Empire of Yalilo for a long time, Xier already has a lot of experience in governing the country - you know, before, she was at most the leader of the Earth Fire, controlling the entire lower area, and she couldn't even handle many conflicts.
However, after getting the memories from the last simulation, her perspective had reached a very high level. She could find solutions to many problems in the lower areas with just a glance.
Although it is rather radical due to her personality, that method must be extremely effective.
“Perhaps we should consider integrating the power of the lower-level areas, developing them properly, and giving them some space to ease their conflicts.”
"For example, let those wealthy businessmen 'donate' some money, and we can reinforce the previously hollowed-out mining area, develop a new urban area, and settle these vagrants there..."
“We will then carve out a piece of the mining area from the mining team and give it to the wanderers to mine. We will use the money we get from the wealthy merchants to encourage the mining team to open up new mining areas.”
"In this way, the conflict between them will be temporarily buffered..."
Natasha was looking at the brand new medical book in her hand. She gently put the book aside after hearing what was said. She looked at Xier who was still talking about how to change the lower area and was even ready to do it immediately, and sighed slightly.
"Xi'er...I think we should talk."
Her rose-red eyes cast a gentle look at Xier, and she waved at her, motioning her to sit next to her.
Xier subconsciously shut up and sat down obediently next to Natasha - this was a habit that could not be erased even after she had been the emperor of the empire for so long in the last simulation.
Because, when she was just a child, if she did something wrong, Natasha would pull her to her side like this and talk to her for a long time.
When she was a child, she was a notorious troublemaker in the orphanage. Natasha would call her over almost every week. She would watch her sew a toy bear or mix potions while listening to her slightly complaining mumbling.
In the past one or two years, as Xier grew up, Natasha hadn't talked to Xier for a long time. She was no longer an innocent child, but had grown into an enterprising member of the Earth Fire.
This was the first time Natasha had a heart-to-heart talk with Xier in recent years.
"Actually, Nata, I don't think we have anything to talk about. I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm grown up now. You can't nag me like you did when I was a kid..."
As Xier sat down, she mumbled subconsciously, but before she could finish her words, Natasha touched her lips with her finger, blocking her from saying anything else.
"I didn't say you did anything wrong, Xi'er."
Seeing Xi'er in front of her calm down, Natasha withdrew her fingers, smiled gently, and said:
"There is nothing wrong with the suggestions you just made. The lower-level areas do need to be changed. These are all feasible solutions..."
"I also know that you have grown up and are no longer a child who knows nothing. I have no intention of scolding you - but Xier, isn't this too fast?"
Natasha said, cupping Xier's cheeks and looking at Xier seriously.
Xier has changed a lot recently.
She is trying every means to participate in the core decision-making of the Earth Fire, and trying her best to contribute to the changes in the entire lower area... There is nothing wrong with this, and Natasha is also looking forward to Xier's growth.
But Xier is growing up too fast... You have no idea what she has been carrying to grow to where she is now.
Is it hatred? Desire? Or some inexplicable unwillingness?
Natasha didn't know.
She could only see that Xier was getting faster and faster, from a still somewhat naive girl to a dusty traveler, carrying a heavy burden and moving forward with all her might. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, she would grit her teeth and crawl through it to see the scenery at the end of the road.
But this will only leave people bruised all over.
"There's nothing fast..."
Xier subconsciously wanted to turn her head away, but Natasha straightened her head and didn't allow her to get up and leave.
Looking at Xier's slightly tired eyes, Natasha could see the heavy haze buried in Xier's heart...
There was a trace of worry in her rose-red eyes, and she said seriously:
"You don't need to grow up so fast... It's not time for you to shoulder the burden of the lower district, Xier."
She put down her hands, opened her arms to Xier, hugged her gently, and rubbed her head:
"With me standing in front of you, you won't have to carry that much... If you feel tired, just stop and take a rest."
Rest...?
Feeling Natasha's warm embrace, Xier's consciousness returned to the afternoons of her childhood - when she was not busy, Natasha would hold the children in the orphanage and gently tell them stories from the storybooks.
In an instant, she seemed to feel like she had returned to those carefree days. She subconsciously wanted to throw away all the trivialities that brought her pressure and indulge in the gentle countryside...
But she simply couldn't do it.
She couldn't forget the people's wailing, the sky covered by haze, the company's condescending assistance, or the confusion of walking in the steel forest...
I can't forget Ron's figure, who, like a moth, threw himself into the fire of destruction in order to save the world.
She couldn't stop... If she did stop, who would save the world? Bronya?
She couldn't let everyone who was looking forward to the future fall into despair... She absolutely could not accept such an ending.
Nata is still too gentle...she doesn't realize what the world is facing!
It is impossible to save the world with this kind of mentality!
"...You don't understand anything, Nata."
Xier pushed Natasha away angrily, turned around and walked out of Natasha's clinic.
No one could stop her, not even Natasha, who was as close to her as a mother.
The next simulation will determine Ron's whereabouts. In order to find a new and more successful path in the simulation, Xier must carefully decide how she should act in the next simulation based on the information she remembers in the simulation.
She would not waste her time on such meaningless conversation.
Looking at Xier's back dyed with phantom colors and turned into a butterfly floating away, Natasha shook her head helplessly and sighed.
But soon, the helplessness in her eyes gradually faded away and turned into a determination to give it everything.
"The future of the lower district does not need you to bear the responsibility, Xier..."
She muttered to herself, looked away, and skillfully opened a light screen:
【Life simulation game has been logged in. 】
【Welcome, player Natasha. 】
"I am enough."
She was full of determination.
..........................................................
PS: Brothers, I actually didn’t want to update so late, let me explain.
Didn’t I update at 10 o’clock yesterday morning? I was in a very bad mental state at the time and couldn’t continue writing, so I prepared to go to sleep.
As a result, I woke up with a fever after sleeping for only 20 minutes. I took my temperature and found that it was 39 degrees. It was just because I was in a hurry to write and publish the chapters, so I didn't realize I had a fever.
Then I went to the clinic for a check-up without even sleeping. The antigen test showed two big red bars, which directly indicated double positive.
After that, I got an IV drip and went home to sleep. I was so groggy that I didn’t know what time I woke up during the night.
So that’s the update for now… Red Bean Paste Smith Marseille!
But I updated nearly 8,000 words today. I really tried my best. I still have to go to the clinic for an IV drip later. I feel like I'm burned out... But I will still work hard on writing after I get up.
I calculated how much I owe, and it’s 6.5-2=4.5 chapters, which means I owe words in total. I’ll finish it in the next two days!
Chapter 7 - Natasha: Welcome to be my assistant, Ron (k)
As a doctor, Natasha has a dream.
She wanted to create a warm world, a world where everyone was not afraid of the cold and could live safely in the wind and snow.
......This was a dream that her brother and she shared.
But her brother was sick, very sick.
Natasha's brother's indifference to human life and his morbid pursuit of success turned him into an unscrupulous evil spirit.
He used the unfinished potion on the people in the lower districts, carelessly ignoring their lives and only caring about whether the potion was completed or not.
Therefore, Natasha drove him out of the lower area and left him to fend for himself in the endless snow and wind.
...This left a huge shadow on Natasha.
Natasha's talents are far inferior to her brother's -
As a top student at the Belloberg Medical School, Wach possesses knowledge and talent that is unmatched by ordinary people.
At one time, Natasha was just an assistant to Wah, and her knowledge was far less profound than Wah's.
Being immune to blizzards was once their shared dream, but after Vaher committed such an evil deed without achieving any results, Natasha put the idea behind her and completely sealed it away in her heart.
Because she knew that if she wanted to achieve true immunity to wind and snow, not to mention the talent of the pharmacist himself, it would definitely take a lot of attempts to deduce the most perfect formula for the potion to be successfully released.
But on the entire Yalilo-VI, almost all the animals that can be used for clinical experiments disappeared in the wind and snow. If you want to test the drug, you can only use it on humans...
That would mean the end of the road that Wah took.
He treated human lives as experimental subjects like a madman, and relied on the accumulation of corpses to make a drug that could resist the wind and snow. He became a demon that could not be called a "doctor" at all.
This is something Natasha, as a destiny walker of [Abundance], cannot accept.
But now...she has a way to fulfill her dream.
Natasha looked at the light screen in front of her. This [Life Simulation Game] was something that suddenly jumped out in front of her some time ago.
When she saw this thing, she immediately wondered if she was hallucinating, and immediately did a full body check on herself...
The result was completely normal, with no physical lesions at all, and her life these days was very ordinary, and the possibility of mental disorder being induced by something could be completely ruled out...
This made her take this thing a little more seriously.
After figuring out how this thing should be operated, Natasha became very interested in what life simulation games could do.
Being able to simulate the future and try and error out her own choices is of great help to her and the lower district.
After all, the lower level area is in chaos right now, and only the "Earth Fire" organization is there to maintain order...
If something goes wrong here with the underground fire, the entire lower area will turn into a chaotic hell on earth.
The wanderers and the mining teams would fight to the death for a little food, and the rich businessmen would bring their guards to attack the people of the entire lower class area, squeezing out every last bit of oil and water from them in order to maintain their decent lives.
This is something that is completely predictable. Relying on life simulation games to simulate the future can greatly reduce the possibility of this happening.
It’s just helpless that as the leader of the underground fire and the doctor of the only clinic in the lower area, Natasha’s daily life is completely busy.
What she faces every day are either decisions concerning the Earth Fire Operation or operations concerning the life and death of patients. The time she can spare in a day is very small, and there is not much time at all to play life simulation games.
Therefore, she could only turn on the AI operation in the life simulation game and take care of real things herself. Occasionally, she would take some time to log in and make a few simple choices, and then continue to devote herself to her daily busy life.
