Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

"Mu, you can't run away from reality. Your parents aren't bad people, they just don't know how to love you. Mu, let's go back together. Let's go back to Ruoye's house. I'll be with you and have a good talk with your parents." You heard Lu Li say this to you.

He hopes you will stop running away from your parents and your fate.

"But I don't want to go back. If I go back, I'll still be Ruoye's..." You said to Lu Li.

You are very scared. You are afraid to go home, you are afraid to go back and face your parents, you are afraid to become Ruoye...

"It's okay, Mu. Actually, becoming Ruoye or not isn't important. In other words, becoming Ruoye wasn't something your parents could decide. The most important factor in whether or not you choose to become Ruoye is you," Lu Li reassured you. "As long as you don't want to, no one in this world can force you to become Ruoye. Not your parents, not me."

[“But…” Hearing Lu Li say this, you were touched, but you still didn’t dare. You didn’t dare disobey your parents in real life. It had always been like this.]

"Mu, you must be afraid of your parents, right?" Lu Li saw your true thoughts.

【“Yeah.” You nodded.】

"Then...how about this? Let's go find your parents together, and this time, I'll take your place as Ruoye!"

[Because he could see your fear, Lu Li offered a solution. He said he would become Ruoye in your place.]

"Mu, I'll do whatever you're afraid of. I said I'd come to save you, so this time, I'll take your place as Ruoye. Of course, you don't have to worry about me having a bad life. I just want to use this to prove that, in fact, as long as you talk to your parents properly, becoming Ruoye isn't that difficult."

[Lu Li said this to you, so may I ask, what do you think of Lu Li's words? ]

[①Accept: "There must be a Ruoye in this world. Since you want her, Lu Li, I'll give her to you!"]

[②Rejection: "Ruoye, no need." The gold content of the cut line is close to 999!]

[③ I'll accept it for now and see what happens: "If Daddy is reborn as a human being after we return home, then I will be a filial daughter. But if you're imagining things, don't blame me for sending you into the six realms of reincarnation early!"]

[④ Let’s get on with Lu Li first, then say: “Ruoye and the rest aren’t important. I think we should do something more meaningful first!”]

......

You painstakingly persuaded Ruoye Mu to return to the Ruoye family.

【However, Wakaba Mu's resistance to the Wakaba family is greater than you might think.】

[No, this can't even be considered resistance. You can clearly sense that Wakaba Mu's feelings towards the Wakaba couple are no longer simply resistance, but fear.]

Because the things her parents gave her since childhood were too heavy, Ruoye Mu has become a puppet in the hands of the Ruoye couple. Ruoye Mu is filled with fear of the Ruoye couple, which is the main reason why she is unwilling to go home.

[You have discovered the reason why Ruoye Mu is unwilling to go home, so what will you do? ]

[①Take Wakaba Mu and force him to go home: "Elbow, come home with me!"]

[② Wandering around the world with Ruoye Mutou: "Mutou ran away, Ruoye sheds tears!"]

[③ She proposed the idea of ​​becoming "Wakaba (Physics)": "There's nothing wrong with being Wakaba, isn't it, Ms. Mori Minami?"]

④ Equip Wakaba Mutsu with an American-made M1917 Smith & Wesson: "All fear comes from insufficient firepower!"

[Tip: Nana Ohba's blessing is in effect. The host can select one to view later.]

"What kind of messed up choices are these?"

“Why does it feel like there’s no one to choose from?”

Looking at these few options, Lu Li hesitated. The closer he got to the final simulation, the more realistic the options the system gave him to choose from.

These four options seem more abstract than the other, but if you think about it carefully, they are all options.

Among the four options, ① and ②, taking Wakaba Mu home and wandering with Wakaba Mu, are the conventional options, but in fact, the following ③④ are also completely acceptable options if you think about it carefully.

Lu Li now has a clear understanding of this simulator. There are some abstract options that require him to judge the consequences himself, but it does not mean that abstract options will necessarily lead to bad results.

Take option ③ as an example. The introduction of option ③ seems to be about becoming a real [Ruoye] and learning from Cao Cao, but in fact Lu Li can be 100% sure that after choosing it, he will definitely become a [Ruoye] in the spiritual sense rather than the Ruoye of Ruoye Mu's father.

The options in the simulation are just outrageous, but in fact, this outrageousness has to take into account Lu Li’s own personality.

It's like in one of Soyo's simulations, he became Soyo's father. In that simulation, theoretically, if he had gone a little further, he could have won over both Soyo and Ms. Nagasaki. However, because of Lu Li's personality, in that simulation he really regarded Soyo as his daughter rather than a person of the opposite sex. In the ending of that simulation, he only loved Ms. Nagasaki.

In this simulation, he and Ruoye Mu have already fallen in love with each other, so Lu Li is 100% sure that if he chooses this option, nothing will happen between him and Ms. Mori Minami. This is definitely the option for him to replace Ruoye Mu and become Ruoye.

As for option ④, the situation is similar to option ③. It is the kind that seems abstract but should have content when you think about it.

The act of equipping Wakaba Mutsu with 1917 is very abstract, but the underlying meaning is not simply giving Wakaba Mutsu a gun. What it means here is that he gives Wakaba Mutsu courage, letting Wakaba Mutsu know that he supports her behind her and that she can talk to her parents on her own.

Humph, the dog system wants to trick me?

impossible!

My buddy has seen through it all!

This is the reading comprehension from Hengshui King of the Heavenly Kingdom!

"It's useless to force Mutou home. It won't solve the problem."

"Continuing to wander around with Mutou is just avoiding the problem."

"Simply giving Mutou courage is actually meaningless. Mutou needs to be more radical in his current situation."

"So..."

"I choose ③!"

"I want to be Wakaba!"

Volume 1: Chapter 118: Ruoye's Truth

[In order to give Wakaba Mutsu courage, you decided to become Wakaba. ]

"Mu, let's go back to Ruoye's house together. This time, I'll take your place as Ruoye. I'll shoulder all your parents' expectations for you. I'll take on everything, and all you have to do is live happily."

You said this to Wakaba Mutsu.

"Really? Lu Li, are you really willing to take my place and become Ruoye?"

[Hearing your words, Ruoye Mu's face showed a happy expression, but after the joy, a trace of worry appeared on her face.]

"Lu Li, becoming Ruoye would be a very painful thing. If you become Ruoye, what would happen to your life and your dreams?" Ruoye Mu asked you. She was happy that you could become Ruoye in her place, but she really loved you and didn't want you to bear the fate that was hers.

"My dream is you, Mu. As long as you are happy, that's all that matters." You replied to Wakaba Mu.

【"Well... okay..." After hesitating for a moment, Ruoye Mu agreed to your conditions. 】

Then, Ruo Yemu leaned on your shoulder, and this time she smiled softly: "Lu Li, you are so kind. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do. Lu Li, no matter what happens, you will come to save me, right?"

You glanced at Wakaba Mu and replied softly, "Mu, of course, I'll come to save you no matter what..."

[Under your persuasion, Ruoye Mu finally agreed to return to the Ruoye family with you. After returning to the Ruoye family, you took Ruoye Mu to have a very formal conversation with the Ruoye couple.]

You first explained to Mr. and Mrs. Wakaba the whole story of why you kidnapped Wakaba Mu, and then you also told them your thoughts.

"Mr. Wakaba, Ms. Mori Minami, I like Mu very much, and Mu likes me too. I know the Wakaba clan needs someone to carry on the future. Since Mu is unwilling to learn acting and inherit the Wakaba clan, why not let me do it?" You said bluntly to the Wakaba couple.

【“…”】

Regarding your statement, the Ruoye couple exchanged glances. Then, Ruoye Mu's father sternly looked at his daughter: "Mu, is this what you think? Are you trying to evade your responsibilities? Answer me! Tell me if this is what you think. If so, then tell me why. If not, then tell me it's not!"

Ruo Yemu was still very afraid of facing her parents, so she didn't give a formal answer to this question. She just hid behind you silently.

[Save me, Lu Li.]

[The look in Ruoye Mu's eyes when he looked at you was filled with these five words.]

【“…”】

You looked at Ruoye Mu, wanting to encourage her to stand up and tell Ruoye what she really thought, but she still didn't dare.

Mutou, Mutou, when will you truly stand up? You are not someone else's mouthpiece, nor are you your parents' caged bird. You should learn to rebel against your parents and tell them what you truly want...

"Mr. Ruoye, Mu is frightened. Please don't be like this." You stood up.

"I'm talking to my daughter. What right do you, an outsider, have to butt in?" Ruoye looked at you with dissatisfaction.

"Mu and I are lovers, so I'm certainly qualified, Mr. Ruoye. Mu is genuinely scared. Just consider her approval of becoming Ruoye. I'm fully prepared to become Ruoye, and I'll satisfy you." You replied.

"Oh?" Ruoye looked at you strangely. "Are you sure? My requirements are very strict."

"Of course, Mr. Ruoye, I promise you, I'll do it." You made this promise to Ruoye. Although Ruoye was dissatisfied with your promise, after looking at his daughter, he sighed and finally agreed to it.

After the conversation, you walked Ruoye Mu back to her room. Just as Ruoye Mu went upstairs, she suddenly called you.

"You can't protect Mu forever." Ruoye suddenly said to you, "Do you know why I asked her to become Ruoye? Because her mother and I can't protect her forever. Mu's character is too weak. If something happens to her mother and me one day, Mu will be unable to face those evil people who are eyeing her covetously. This is why her mother and I force her. She is the daughter of the Ruoye family. She is destined not to be weak in this life. Do you understand?"

【“I understand.” You nodded.】

[Through the clues you've uncovered in previous simulations, you've gained a certain understanding of the Wakaba family. You can probably understand why the Wakaba couple is so determined to have Wakaba Mutsu become [Wakaba].]

[The reason why the Wakaba couple did this was partly because of the family heritage, but also largely because they wanted to protect their daughter Wakaba Mutsu.]

As parents, they understand their daughter better than anyone else. They are well aware that their daughter's character is too weak. At school, their daughter has almost no friends and no social circle. She will not refuse others' requests, spreads messages, and is easily bullied. This is the current situation of their daughter in school.

"If Mu was born into an ordinary family, her personality wouldn't be a problem. But in the Ruoye family, it's unacceptable. My mother and I can't protect her forever. We'll eventually grow old, and our influence will fade with age. Ruoye isn't a small family, and there are plenty of people eyeing our lineage. After Minami and I lose our influence, how do you think the other branches of the family will treat Mu?"

Your cheap father-in-law's voice was filled with helplessness.

"Mu has been spoiled since she was little. Her mother and I have worked hard to raise her to this point. My husband and I absolutely do not want to see Mu fall into poverty. Therefore, my husband and I would rather force Mu to do things she doesn't like than to see her being bullied in the future. This is also why we force Mu to learn acting, because only in this path can we provide sufficient support. This is also the only way my husband and I can think of to ensure that Mu can live a peaceful life..."

Volume 1: Chapter 119 Help me, Lu Li!

[The Ruoye couple had a heart-to-heart with you, and you also learned why the Ruoye couple always wanted to force Ruoye Mu to grow up.]

Because the Ruoye clan is a predatory society, if Ruoye Mu doesn't become stronger, then after he and his wife lose their influence, the Ruoye family will be seized by greedy people, and Ruoye Mu will end up in poverty.

"Kid, I know you're capable, but you can't protect Mu forever. Mu trusts you now, so I hope you won't blindly indulge him. You need to find a way to make him stronger. Otherwise, he'll make a big mistake one day..." Ruoye said to you.

"Mr. Wakaba, Ms. Mori Minami, don't worry. I will protect Mu and I will do my best to help him become stronger. I promise." You understand the difficulties the Wakaba couple face, so you make this promise.

"That's good. If that's the case, then before our influence completely fades, you should start learning acting. Since Mu isn't willing to become an actor and inherit everything we have, then you're the only one left. Is that a problem?" Ruoye said to you.

The Wakaba couple proposes that you take over the role of Wakaba Mu and pursue the path of acting. They promise to give you everything they had previously arranged for him. However, you also know that there is more than one way to become Wakaba, and you have many wonderful little skills. So, do you want to follow the Wakaba couple's plan and become Wakaba, or do you have other options?

① Choosing the path of an actor: "Since there must be a Ruoye in this world, why can't this Ruoye be me?"

[②Choosing the light novel path: "There are many ways to become Wakaba. I don't have to be an actor. Mr. Wakaba, can you tell me about the light novel experts?"]

③Choose the path of "Now You See Me": "Wealth isn't what really matters; what matters is how we get it!"

④ Choose the path that truly suits you: "Not only Ms. Nagasaki, I'm also just as diao as Ms. Toyokawa!"

[Tip: Nana Ohba's blessing is in effect. The host can select one of the options to view the subsequent options.]

"As for my current situation, the status of a light novelist is nothing, and my acting skills are only average, so I'll definitely choose ① here."

"I choose ①."

You accepted the conditions offered by the Wakaba couple and decided to become Wakaba through acting.

After you agreed to become an actor, Mr. and Mrs. Ruoye decided to test your aptitude first.

[Skill: Acting-(Intermediate) effect activated.]

[The Ruoye couple were surprised that you are a talented kid. Not only are you a high-level bandit, but you are also gifted in acting! ]

"Indeed, you're more suited to acting than Mu. It seems the Ruoye family and Mu's future are at least guaranteed." The Ruoye couple were delighted to discover your acting skills.

"Of course, man, this is intermediate acting. It's a pity I didn't go to my old professor this time, otherwise I could have shown you what advanced acting is like!"

"Your acting skills are quite solid, but this is just the beginning. If you want to inherit the Ruoye family, this is far from enough. From today on, you will accept our arrangement and begin to hone your acting skills." Ruoye said.

"Intermediate level really isn't enough. But that's understandable. Considering the Ruoye couple's situation, advanced acting skills are probably just enough. If we really want to shock them completely, we'll probably need grandmaster-level acting skills."

"Okay, father-in-law, no problem!" You agreed readily.

[Under the arrangement of your future father-in-law and mother-in-law, you began to hone your acting skills.]

[While you were honing your acting skills, because the Ruoye couple's goals shifted, Ruoye Mu finally no longer had to bear Ruoye's fate, and she could do what she loved.]

"Mu, look, you're free now. You can do whatever you want." You told Ruoye Mu this. You decided to encourage her to do what she loves, hoping that she could slowly change her weak personality.

"Then, can I form a band with Xiangzi and Soyo?" Wakaba Mu asked softly, "I want to play guitar, and I also want to be with Soyo and Xiangzi. I want to form a band with them."
