Chapter 3: Chapter 3: No Explanation Needed
"Once again..."
After throwing the remaining sock to someone as a gift, Kiana, lying on the bed, felt a bit complicated at the moment.
In this life she witnessed, the man who had a significant impact on her life had changed; he lost one leg.
The other version of herself was brought back home by him and grew up happily. In Kiana's eyes, those years were truly blissful.
Even though she and the other version of herself were not the same person, she could feel that she must have been content at that time. For Lu Yu, the simulator only provided dry text, but for Kiana, she witnessed everything with her own eyes.
She could even sense the other version of herself's reliance and affection for the man.
And then...
And then, this man went off to play cards?
What is this Duelist thing?! Why would he rather die with that guy called Hayama Rehito than run away? Is dueling really that important?
Clearly, she, the female protagonist, should be the one, right? Why did the style suddenly change?
[Simulator cooldown time is over, the host can enter the simulation.]
"Wait, System, can I get a loan?"
On the third day, as the new simulation was about to begin, Lu Yu interrupted the system's words. The experiences of the previous two simulations had given him some understanding of this damn simulator. He knew he had to make some changes; otherwise, he might never achieve the reality he desired.
[A loan?]
"It's like borrowing. I have an idea that requires a large number of points, and then I'll make a big move."
A few minutes later, the system's voice sounded.
What kind of capitalist system is this?
"Alright, I borrowed it!"
What kind of person was he before he transmigrated?
A frequent participant in the Memory Arena, constantly climbing through the Abyss, occasionally holding on to retain his rank.
To get higher scores, it required not only infinite retries and equipment but also an incredibly clear mind. He was never the person who copied homework; he was the one who voluntarily left his assignments behind, a strong-willed individual.
Lu Yu was never a fool. The two simulations had already made him understand his situation. He probably grasped that he could choose to slowly accumulate points through repeated simulations and then try to save the Kiana in the simulator.
But he refused!
I, Lu Yu, the veteran captain of Honkai Impact 3, am fighting for the Valkyries today!
By the way, System, please don't make me play cards this time, okay?
I've had enough fun, haven't I?
"Let's start the simulation."
[Simulation begins]
[Talent selection phase: Each simulation will randomly present 1-6 talents of varying qualities, and the host can choose 1-3 of them.]
Lu Yu glanced at the colors of the fun talents that popped up and shook his head.
"Give me a refresh!"
100 points were spent like flowing water, and in the end, he had only 15 points left. Lu Yu finally got the talent combination he needed.
[1 Fool (1 star): You look like a not-so-smart guy]
[2 Swordmaster (3 stars): You are a master of the sword]
[3 Heaven Jealous of Talent (2 stars): Your talent amazes people, and your life is lamentable]
[4 Golden Rule (4 stars): You won't worry about insufficient wealth because you are the symbol of wealth!]
[5 Longevity (3 stars): As long as you don't trigger fatal events, you are destined to live a long life.]
[6 Positive Outlook (3 stars): You have an unwavering heart.]
[Note: Talents 3 and 5 have a destiny conflict, and the host cannot choose both at the same time.]
"I choose 346."
Longevity, Lu Yu doesn't need that. What he wants is to meet Kiana in the simulation as quickly as possible and then alter her life.
"Considering the host's failure to achieve any outcome from the last simulation yesterday, this time the simulation script is forcibly locked to yesterday's script. Please carefully select key options and face death rationally, taking into account the talents."
[Simulation officially begins.]
[Age 1: You were born into an ordinary family.]
[Age 3: You possess wisdom far beyond your peers. While other kids are still struggling in kindergarten at the age of three, you have already begun learning more profound knowledge.]
[Age 4: Your intelligence catches the attention of a children's competitive variety show. You and your parents participate in the show, and you win first place. Your parents are overjoyed, and the show rewards you with a lot of money, making your parents even happier.]
[Age 5: You have completed all the contents of primary school. Your parents find that your intelligence cannot be described merely as a genius, and they wonder why you have such extreme luck, almost receiving unexpected wealth every so often. You give the wealth to your parents and hope they can live better lives.]
[Age 7: Your home is attacked by the Honkai beasts and deadwalkers. Fortunately, you had already moved to a mansion with a complete security system and made preparations in advance, which allowed you and your parents to survive this turmoil. You sustained some minor injuries, but it doesn't seem to affect your life.]
Great! This time, Lu Yu successfully made it through the turmoil at the age of seven.
This is close to what he speculated. Early-activated talents might have some negative effects, but the sooner these talents are triggered, the faster they can change important early events.
[Age 8: Your parents adopted a white-haired girl who lost her parents during the turmoil. You gained a younger sister.]
[Age 9: Due to the loss of her parents, the girl's heart became somewhat closed, and she occasionally experiences short periods of losing control.]
[Age 10: Due to a small loss of control in the girl's power, you lost your left arm.]
[Age 11: Your will is strong, and you won't lose your pursuit of life due to losing your left arm. You comfort the white-haired girl and tell her that you will find a way to help her control her powers.]
"It seems that the Positive Outlook talent was triggered here. Without this talent, I might have fallen into despair like the last time and hurt Kiana?"
[Age 11: Thanks to your attitude, the girl finally steps out of the shadow of losing her parents. She vows to control her powers.]
[Age 13: You learned about the Schicksal organization from a magazine, and you think they might be able to help the girl. You are quite interested in this.]
[The Schicksal organization highly appreciates your abilities and invites you to join. Will you join?]
[Yes: Archbishop Otto, I pledge my loyalty to you.]
[No: No way I'll be used by Schicksal.]
"I refuse."
[As a clever person, you have found through some means that the essence of the Schicksal organization is not as ideal as it seems. You decide not to rely on them and save the girl by yourself.]
[Age 15: You begin researching the essence of the girl's powers and discover that she seems to have a second personality.]
[Age 17: You have an abundant wealth and impressive intelligence. You begin to understand the nature of the power within the girl's body.]
[Age 19: As you and the girl grow older day by day, the pain from the attack by the Honkai beasts in your early years starts to resurface. Coupled with your constant research day and night, you start to develop white hair and feel that your life is rapidly passing.]
[Age 21: You don't mind having little time left. Your positive attitude makes you unafraid of impending death. Instead, you desperately tap into your potential, hoping to bring a perfect ending for the girl.]
[Age 22: The companies you invested in all made huge profits, and you received a large amount of funds.]
[Age 23: You continue your research.]
[Age 25: Thanks to not lacking any money, your research has made significant progress.]
[Age 27: The conservative faction of Anti-Entropy found you and is willing to cooperate with you in researching the girl. Are you willing to work with them?]
[Willing: Let's cooperate together.]
[Refuse: Anti-Entropy, you are not trustworthy.]
"I accept."
Indeed, Anti-Entropy is not great, but if it's the conservative faction, Lu Yu has no reason to refuse.
[Age 28: With the help of Anti-Entropy, your understanding of the girl's powers deepens, and you begin to research how to suppress her second personality.]
[Age 30: Your exhausted appearance catches the attention of the white-haired girl. All your research is conducted behind her back.]
[Age 32: The girl begs you to stop your research. She doesn't want to lose her family again and hopes you can go home together and live a simple life. Will you stop your research?]
[Yes: Let's go home, back to the original happiness~]
[No: I will definitely save you!]
"No."
[You rejected the girl's request and chose to redeem her despite having little time left.]
[Age 34: Your head is full of white hair.]
[Age 36: Anti-Entropy's involvement greatly accelerated your research, and you feel that you are about to save the girl.]
[Age 38: You fed the girl with the well-researched potion and died contentedly in her arms.]
[Age of Death: 38]
[Cause of Death: Passed away due to illness.]
[Congratulations, the host achieved an ending: Queen's Tear.]
[Simulation ends.]
[The simulation has ended. The audience will now rate the performance. Please wait.]
[Rating complete. This simulation scored a perfect 100. The host received a score of 85, and the system evaluates it as excellent!]
[Audience evaluation: Thunderous applause!]
[This time, you have received 50 points as a reward. Please check.]
[The host has achieved a score of 80 or above for the first time, and you can choose one of the following rewards!]
