Genshin Impact: Villain Life Simulator

[To win over the woman named Shenhe, you plan to use any method at your disposal. By reviewing academic information, you have learned about Chongyun's family situation.]

[Chongyun comes from a renowned exorcist family in Liyue Harbor and possesses an extremely rare pure Yang body. During his childhood, his parents tragically died during an exorcism mission. His aunt, Shenhe, took on the responsibility of being his guardian and raised him. Although Shenhe is technically Chongyun's aunt, given their age difference, she appears more like his sister.]

[Based on current information, how do you plan to pursue Shenhe?]

[1. Directly pursue Shenhe with an aggressive approach.]

[2. Start with Chongyun and gradually get closer to Shenhe.]

Direct pursuit seems very unlikely to succeed. After all, not only is there a nearly ten-year age difference between them, but the generational gap is also hard to bridge. 

Sorry, but to get the reward...

"I choose the second option."

[You decide to start with Chongyun. Using your wit and intelligence, you quickly devise a meticulous plan.]

[At 15 years old, you used your position as the student council president to gather a group of privileged students and offered them favors to help execute your plan. With a mix of threats and incentives, they agreed to your request.]

[You had them bully Chongyun, knowing that his gentle nature would make him an easy target. At the right moment, you stepped in, driving away the bullies. Chongyun did not realize this was all orchestrated and was deeply grateful, thus beginning your friendship with him.]

Sorry, Chongyun! You want to be my good friend, but I want to be your uncle-in-law!

[Your friendship with Chongyun quickly developed. He even invited you to his home, where you met Shenhe again. Despite the years, her appearance remained as enchanting as when you first saw her.]

[You noticed Shenhe's deep affection for Chongyun, but she was cold towards others. Even though you had once helped Chongyun, she did not warm up to you. However, her aloofness only fueled your desire to win her over.]

[At 16 years old, a year had passed since you befriended Chongyun. He trusted you deeply and even confided small secrets, such as his susceptibility to madness when exposed to heat due to his pure Yang body. You planned to exploit this.]

[You repeated your previous tactic, calling on the same group of bullies you had once used. Over the past year, you had covertly provided them with benefits and assistance. On the surface, as the student council president, you appeared to oppose them, but secretly, you were closely allied.]

What a crew of scoundrels!

[Previously, in the simulation, you were just an arrogant young master, but now you have become a hypocritical "model student."]

[One day after school, you and Chongyun were surrounded by the bullies. At your signal, they attacked Chongyun with pepper spray. As expected, this triggered Chongyun's pure Yang body, sending him into a frenzy, and he retaliated fiercely.]

[In his madness, Chongyun was incredibly ferocious. The bullies were no match for him and were severely beaten.]

[The incident caused a huge uproar. Chongyun, for severely injuring his classmates, faced expulsion and possibly juvenile detention.]

[Upon hearing this, Shenhe immediately sought your help. She knew you were the student council president and the principal's son. If you intervened, Chongyun's punishment could be reduced significantly.]

[Over the past year, you had often visited Chongyun's home, meeting Shenhe many times. But you had never seen her so anxious before. Although not Chongyun's biological mother, she had raised him and considered him her son.]

[Sitting at your desk, you didn't rush to handle Chongyun's situation. Instead, you told Shenhe you had fallen in love with her at first sight. Shenhe, biting her lip, asked, "What do you mean?"]

[Your answer to Shenhe's question is...]

[1. I can help Chongyun, but you must agree to be my lover.]
[2. Shenhe, you don't want Chongyun expelled or sent to juvenile detention, do you?]
[3. Spend one night with me, and I'll make sure Chongyun is safe.]

As expected, all three options use "Chongyun" as leverage to threaten Shenhe. However, the tone and approach differ, potentially leading to different outcomes. 

The first one seems too gentle; given Shenhe's strong-willed nature, she likely won't submit easily. The third one seems too blunt, almost like forcing the issue... If it came to that, Shenhe could easily overpower you. You need to be strategic with every choice.

"I choose the second option."

[With a meaningful smile, you said, "Shenhe, you don't want Chongyun expelled or sent to juvenile detention, do you?"]

[Hearing this, Shenhe's initially firm attitude softened. She knew that if Chongyun were sent to juvenile detention, his future and reputation would be ruined, and the family would disown him.]

[Shenhe sighed deeply, frowning, and said, "For Chongyun... I will do anything."]

[Nodding, you replied, "Chongyun will face a three-month suspension. After that, his fate will be decided. Your actions during these three months will determine his future."]

[Faced with your almost blatant threat, Shenhe, although very angry, nodded and said, "As long as you can ensure Chongyun's future is secure, I... I will do anything for you."]

[You didn't expect your plan to go so smoothly. Looking at the beautiful woman you've admired for a long time, you feel a surge of excitement. You say:]

[1. "There's plenty of space under my desk."]

[2. "Do you see that sofa over there?"]

[3. "My office also has a one-way mirror."]

Is this really the student council's office?

Right now, Lucas is very suspicious. When this office was built, was there some other purpose in mind from the beginning?

Three choices, three methods. Generally speaking, different choices can lead to different developments. However, since Shenhe has already completely compromised, it means that whatever choice he makes shouldn't be a problem; only the process will differ.

[What's wrong, having trouble deciding? Don't worry, you have a month. It's not like this is your only chance.]

"Even if you say that, honestly... does it really make a difference what I choose?" Lucas frowned and said, "No matter what I choose, it's just a different piece of text."

Moreover, usually, the text presented by the system is straightforward and leaves little to the imagination.

[Just choose, and you'll see.]

For some reason, the system's response made Lucas picture Shenhe's face in his mind.

"I... I'll choose the first one."

[As I guessed...]

It's just a system, don't try to figure out the host's thoughts!

[You patted your desk and smiled, "There's plenty of space under my desk."]

[Upon hearing this, Shenhe's pale cheeks blushed even more. Shenhe, who has always been a lofty flower admired by many in the family, is admired for her looks, figure, and strength. Many men have courted her, but she has never even looked at them. Yet today, she has no choice but to be coerced by a boy much younger than herself.]

[Seeing Shenhe hesitate, you frowned slightly and said, "What's wrong, Miss Shenhe? You wouldn't just talk without action, would you? You should know, if I wanted to, I could decide Chongyun's fate today."]

[Upon hearing this, Shenhe dared not hesitate any longer and had to compromise.]

Is this really me?

Looking at these lines, Lucas's mood was very complicated. Luckily, these are just words, so the guilt in his heart was somewhat alleviated. Unfortunately, these are just words, so Lucas can only use his imagination to picture Shenhe yielding in front of him.

Yes, the most contradictory thing in Lucas's mind is that even though he knows his simulated self is terrible, as a man, he can't help but feel a bit envious of his simulated self.

[Sensing the host's strong emotional fluctuations, switching to "Immersive Mode."]

"Immersive Mode?" Lucas was startled and hurriedly said, "What the heck..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. When he opened them again, the scene in front of him had completely changed.

Now, what lay before Lucas was no longer the slightly cramped carriage but a rather spacious office. Bookshelves lined up like walls, neatly filled with books. The exquisite one-way glass clearly showed students and teachers walking in the hallway outside. Not far away, a beautiful leather sofa looked very comfortable for resting.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the oversized desk in front of him. The ebony surface was dark and shiny, seemingly just waxed, reflecting a slightly young but very familiar face.

That was... his own face!

That face looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, but it had a maturity beyond its years. He wore a pair of delicate gold-rimmed glasses, clearly a model student.

Is this... me?

What on earth is going on?

Lucas lightly pinched his cheek. It hurt a bit, which meant this wasn't a dream.

Could this be the so-called "Immersive Mode" the system mentioned earlier?

Just as Lucas was pondering, he suddenly heard a slightly nervous voice:

"I... I'm starting."
