Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

"Second one at half price?" 

Nathan shook his head helplessly, wondering how it was similar to an advertisement he had seen in his previous life.

"If we're going with that, why not change it to 'Wangsheng Funeral Parlor cremation: second tombstone half price!'"

"Eh!!! Nathan, that's great!" 

Hu Tao jumped excitedly after hearing it. Though only one word was changed, the meaning instantly elevated.

"What's so great about it!"

Nathan could only smile bitterly at this.

Would such an advertising slogan really bring in business?

[You have confirmed Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's slogan, now initiating simulation process...]

Just as Nathan was lost in doubt, the simulation system in his mind responded.

Unlike previous occasions where it only gave prompts, this time it seemed to enter a different state.

[First year, you and Hu Tao decided on the slogan. Together with Qiqi, you promoted Wangsheng Funeral Parlor countless times, gradually building its reputation!]

[During promotion, you received your first order - Hu Tao's first business!]

[Your luck was poor, encountering an evil spirit during the first business!]

[But you had properly trained Hu Tao, and the evil spirit instantly vanished under the girl's flames!]

[The first independent job ended in success, and Hu Tao excitedly gave you a kiss!]

[Second year, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's business flourished. While everyone discussed the enthusiastic Hu Tao, you chose to avoid crowds!]

[With your carefulness, you never ran into Ningguang or the other girls!]

[As time passed, Hu Tao's dependence on you reached an almost pathological degree.]

[Third year, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor no longer worried about falling into obscurity. Your partnership with Hu Tao was a perfect match!]

[Hu Tao's father watched this contentedly, feeling the time was right!]

[Finally, under her father's expectations, Hu Tao officially took the position of the 77th Director!]

[By year's end, Hu Tao's changes over these three years became more apparent. From an innocent young girl... she had grown into a graceful beauty!]

[Witnessing his daughter's growth, Hu Tao's father became even more pleased. To bind you to his daughter, he secretly planned something big!]

[On the last day of the year, without your knowledge, many villagers gathered at Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!]

[In your confusion, you discovered the purpose of this gathering - it was your engagement party with Hu Tao...]

[Simulation process ended, immersive mode continuing...]

As these lines of simulation text appeared, Nathan felt his consciousness begin to spin.

Everything around him changed, and in the next second, he found himself in a new world.

......................

"Uh... where am I?"

When Nathan opened his eyes again, the sky above had already begun to dim.

The setting sun hung at the horizon, dyeing the clouds golden.

In the twilight, he found himself in Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's courtyard.

Standing directly opposite him was a radiantly happy Hu Tao.

The current Hu Tao looked vastly different from just a second ago.

After all, three years had passed in the system's simulation.

Only the simulation system could achieve this ability to instantly change time.

While others had formed three years of bonds with Nathan, for him personally it had only been a second.

Hu Tao had grown over these three years. Whether in height, figure, or features, she could now be described as a blooming flower.

No longer a shy bud, she had grown into a graceful beauty.

Of course, the only thing that hadn't changed was her still-flat chest.

The current Hu Tao had shed her usual black robes, instead wearing an elegant white ceremonial dress.

Below the dress's hem, her long, fair legs were exposed.

For Nathan, who was used to her previous attire, this was truly eye-catching.

"Darling, do I look beautiful today?"

Feeling his gaze, Hu Tao's fair cheeks flushed slightly red as she spoke to him somewhat coquettishly.

The destructive power of her maturity was incomparable to three years ago.

The most lethal weapon was Hu Tao's choice of words.

She had truly grown up, no longer using the same form of address as three years ago.

"Hu Tao... you?"

Nathan stared intently; the current girl increasingly overlapped with the Hu Tao from the real world.

"Darling, today is our important day, you should be happier!"

Hu Tao continued smiling, her expression as sweet as honey.

"Today... is this really so urgent?"

Nathan's tone was filled with helplessness, completely arranged by the simulation system.

In the blink of an eye, he was about to be engaged to the girl.

Many neighbors had come to the scene, surrounding the two of them.

The banquet dishes were entrusted to Hu Tao's good friend Xiangling, while their nominal daughter Qiqi was also dressed up for the occasion.

Nathan was now completely cornered, with no way to retreat.

Right above him and Hu Tao, the girl's father was preparing to speak.

"Welcome everyone to my daughter's engagement party. Today, please witness this important moment between my daughter and son-in-law!"

The middle-aged man spoke, already referring to Nathan as his son-in-law.

"Clap-clap-clap..."

After his speech, the neighboring villagers applauded.

Over these three years, everyone had truly come to know Hu Tao as the 77th Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

"Well then, let the ceremony officially begin!"

Having said this, the middle-aged man turned his attention to Nathan.

This son-in-law he had acknowledged three years ago had also received Hu Tao's grandfather's approval.

Indeed, his judgment hadn't been wrong. With Nathan's help, Hu Tao had steadily taken over the Director position from him.

And through their joint efforts, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor had become even more prosperous.

Now, as long as Nathan officially became his son-in-law, everything would be settled, and the middle-aged man could retire with peace of mind.

"Nathan, I ask you... are you willing to take Hu Tao as your wife, to love and protect her for a lifetime!"

Hearing Hu Tao's father's words, Nathan felt something was very strange.

Shouldn't this kind of declaration be used at a wedding ceremony?

"Papa, Mama!"

"Hu Tao has found her happiness!"

On the other side, Qiqi, being held by Xiangling, was also looking forward to their union.

As for Xiangling, this good friend's eyes were filled with contentment.

"I...."

"Quick, answer, darling... what are you still hesitating about?"

Standing beside Nathan, Hu Tao urged quietly.

Suddenly feeling his eyelid twitch, it seemed something unpleasant was about to happen...

"I object!!!"

Sure enough, before Nathan could answer, an uninvited guest had already broken the atmosphere.
