Genshin Impact: Villain Life Simulator

Chapter 6: Villain Simulator, Ch 6

Lucas's heart was startled, and he quickly looked down. He saw a cold and beautiful silver-haired woman staring at him with a complicated expression. As soon as their eyes met, she immediately looked away. It was Shen He!

In an instant, Lucas seemed to understand. Could it be that the so-called "immersive mode" allows his consciousness to directly enter the body of a character in the simulated life and experience what the character goes through firsthand?

[Correct understanding!]

[As a player of the "Life Simulator," you can switch between "text mode" and "immersive mode" at any time. Neither mode affects the game's storyline.]

[In "immersive mode," you can take actions within the limits allowed by the system. If your actions contradict the storyline, the system will forcibly adjust them to fit the game's plot.]

So even in "immersive mode," I can't fully control the character and only experience the current character's "feelings"?

[That's right, this is to prevent program errors.]

Lucas slowly closed his eyes, starting to feel the experience brought by the "Life Simulator." Although what he was doing was undoubtedly a "bad thing," as an "outsider," he had no way to change it.

It must be said that Lucas in the simulation liked ShenHe for a reason. Perhaps because of years of cultivation, ShenHe looked much younger than her actual age. Even if she were said to be a senior in school, few would doubt it.

At this moment, good and bad, right and wrong, seemed... no longer that important.

Lucas leaned back in his chair, the leather creaking softly under him. His fingers drummed a nervous rhythm on the armrest as he watched Shen He.

She was crouched between his legs, her long silver hair cascading like a veil around her face. Her hands were on his thighs, her touch hesitant.

Suddenly, the door handle jiggled, causing both of them to freeze. Lucas's eyes widened in panic as he recognized the sound.

"Sorry to interrupt..."

At this time, the office door suddenly opened, and a tall, elegant silver-haired woman walked in. She wore a black and yellow cheongsam, accentuating her slender yet curvaceous figure.

Although Lucas was just a student, as the student council president and the son of the principal of Tianquan Academy, even teachers had to knock before entering the student council office. There were only two people who could enter without knocking: one was Lucas's father, the principal, and the other was Ningguang, the Tianquan star among the Liyue Qixing.

Of course, there were few places in Liyue Harbor where Ningguang needed to knock. She had admired Lucas's intelligence since he was young. However, this time, there was a complicated look on Ningguang's usually smiling face.

"Ning... Ningguang? Why... why are you here?" Seeing the unexpected visitor, Lucas became very nervous. ShenHe, who also heard Ningguang's voice, stopped her actions out of tension.

Generally, when someone of Ningguang's status and as an elder suddenly visits, Lucas would stand up to show respect. But now, it was impossible for him to stand up. Ningguang seemed preoccupied and didn't notice Lucas's polite but stationary posture.

She sat in front of Lucas and frowned slightly, "It's about the recent violent incident where thirteen students were seriously injured, all from wealthy families. Do you know how much effort I put into smoothing things over?"

"Thank you, Ningguang," Lucas nodded quickly. "I didn't expect Chongyun to do something so crazy."

"I know it must be hard for you since he's your good friend," Ningguang sighed. "But given the severity of the incident, he will have to face appropriate punishment."

The desk suddenly shook lightly, and a pen holder fell to the floor with a "thud."

"What's happening?" Ningguang, cautious by nature, sensed something amiss. "Why did the desk suddenly move?"

"I... I accidentally had a leg cramp!" Lucas quickly explained.

"You're so young, how can you have so many health issues?" Ningguang showed a doting smile. "How about I massage it for you?"

Lucas, who Ningguang watched grow up and treated almost like a son, was very nervous. She had gone to great lengths to handle the violent incident not just to protect Tianquan Academy but also to shield Lucas from the consequences.

"No... no need!" Cold sweat broke out on Lucas's forehead. "I... I can do it myself!"

If Ningguang were to massage him now, his secret would be exposed. If she found out that her well-behaved Lucas was threatening a student's parent in the office, he would be expelled even before Chongyun.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're grown up now," Ningguang laughed. "Okay, you do it yourself then."

Ningguang then bent down to pick up the pen holder, but she noticed something strange under the desk.

"What is this?"

Under the table, a red string peeked out. Ningguang, puzzled, grabbed it casually, intending to pull it out. But to her surprise, the string seemed to be tied to something, making it impossible to move.

This red string was tied to Shenhe. Shenhe was born with a unique constitution called "Lone Star Calamity," which made it hard for her to suppress her violent tendencies, bringing bad luck to those around her. Fortunately, when she was born, an immortal named Cloud Retainer happened to pass by and used special magic to bind Shenhe's violent tendencies with this red string. Shenhe had worn this string for over twenty years, never once taking it off.

At this moment, the string Ningguang had grabbed was precisely the one tied to Shenhe. Shenhe and Lucas's expressions changed instantly.

Lucas moved his hand gently caressing Shenhe's head, urging her to do something about the string.

As Ningguang was about to discover the peculiarity of the string, Shenhe acted decisively. With a sudden burst of ice in her hand, she conjured an ice blade and, with a swift motion, cut the string Ningguang was holding.

This happened in an instant. When Ningguang pulled the string again, she only managed to pull out a four or five-inch piece.

"This red string..." Ningguang placed the string on the table, puzzled. "Why is it under your desk?"

Although Ningguang had never seen this string before, as the Tianquan of Liyue Qixing, she was knowledgeable and immediately sensed the string's immortal aura, realizing it wasn't an ordinary object.

"This is..." Lucas quickly thought of an excuse. "My girlfriend's bracelet. She must have accidentally left it here."

Hearing this, Shenhe's face turned red under the table, and she gave Lucas a resentful look. Who is your girlfriend!

"Oh, so you have a girlfriend now?" Ningguang wasn't surprised. As the student council president of Tianquan Academy, Lucas was excellent in both character and academics, with a well-off family and good looks.

Many girls at school had long been infatuated with him. However, regardless of how outstanding or beautiful the girls were, Lucas always politely declined their confessions. Ningguang knew of so many girls who had been rejected by Lucas that she couldn't even count them on two hands.

Of course, this was because Lucas in this life simulator was only interested in older women and had no interest in girls his age. His "love" for Shenhe was unique, and he had little interest in any other women.

"Yes... that's right..." Lucas nodded, smiling awkwardly. "Please, Ningguang, don't tell my parents."

Although Lucas's parents were very open-minded and never opposed him having relationships during school, this "girlfriend" was fictitious. He couldn't possibly tell Ningguang and his parents that his "girlfriend" was actually a classmate's parent.

"Not telling is fine," Ningguang said, squinting slightly. "But I'm very curious, what kind of girl caught your eye?"

"Her?" Lucas hesitated for a moment before replying. "She is a very special girl, like a white lotus on a snowy mountain, unattainable. But I know that beneath her cold exterior lies a heart burning with passion. Being able to be with her is the happiest thing in my life."

Listening to Lucas's words, Shenhe's feelings were complicated. Honestly, she didn't dislike Lucas before today. Because he was a good friend of Chongyun, Shenhe even felt a bit of gratitude and affection for him. However, these feelings were like those of an elder sister towards a younger brother.

Now, seeing Lucas's hidden, malevolent nature, Shenhe couldn't reconcile this with the polite and respectful boy who used to call her "Aunt Shenhe." It was as if a demon's heart was lurking within him.

"It seems she is a very remarkable girl," Ningguang nodded, smiling. "Rest assured, I won't tell your parents. This will be our little secret."

Ningguang winked playfully. Who would have thought that the mature and composed Tianquan would have such a playful side? Of course, Ningguang only showed this side to someone she knew very well.

Honestly, in terms of appearance and figure, Ningguang was not inferior to Shenhe. She was also the type of "older sister" Lucas liked. Why did he choose Shenhe over Ningguang? That remained unknown.

Lucas secretly thanked his lucky stars that the simulator's version of himself wasn't interested in Ningguang. Otherwise, scheming against her would have likely resulted in his own demise. In terms of stars, Shenhe was a five-star, while Ningguang was a four-star. In terms of scheming, Shenhe was at most a two or three-star, but Ningguang was definitely more than a five-star.

"Thank you, Ningguang," Lucas finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I need to leave now," Ningguang said, standing up. "You'd better keep a low profile for a while to avoid trouble from the victims' parents."

"I will," Lucas nodded. "Also, I need to ask you a small favor."

Ningguang seemed to have already guessed what Lucas wanted to say and sighed. "It's about Chongyun, isn't it?"

"Yes," Lucas glanced at Shenhe before saying seriously. "It wasn't Chongyun's fault. I hope you can help mediate and at least get a lighter punishment."

"I'll try my best," Ningguang sighed. "But it's not as simple as you think. Be prepared. I'll talk to the parents, but getting forgiveness from the victims is the most important part."
