Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

The clash between Hu Tao and Shenhe manifested as a collision between ice and fire elements.

As the ice elements succumbed to the fire's high temperature, the resulting steam... immediately shrouded the surroundings in a thick white mist.

Within the white mist, Nathan couldn't see the two women's confrontation.

But at this crucial moment, the Life Simulator suddenly stirred.

[Detected simulation opening conditions. Life Simulator will now activate.]

"So it only opens in situations like this, huh!"

Nathan couldn't help but comment - every activation condition occurred during confrontations between women.

Following this logic, the Life Simulator's activation condition might be... a love rivalry scene?

However, with the Life Simulator's activation, Nathan could temporarily avoid facing the two women in combat.

This was... indirectly buying him time to breathe.

Three cards materialized in his mind - for Nathan, this had become a routine procedure of the Life Simulator.

[Life Simulator formally activated. Please actively choose one talent!]

[Purple Talent - Fire of Sin Burning: After obtaining this talent, you will awaken pure white flames.

These flames have no effect on ordinary people, but when facing sinners, they will reduce them to ashes!]

[Blue Talent - Ghost Strike: After obtaining this talent, you will deal 5x damage to spiritual entities.]

[Purple Talent - Prime Minister's Aura: After obtaining this talent, you will inherit Cao Cao's characteristics, gaining massive advantages in pursuing married women!]

After quickly reviewing these three cards, Nathan felt the answer was obvious.

While there appeared to be three options, two were actually quite redundant.

Among the combat-type talents, the difference between blue and purple quality was too significant.

One enhanced effects against spirits, while the other granted a special type of flame.

Even with the restriction of requiring sinners, the Fire of Sin Burning was clearly the better choice.

As for the third card, though also purple quality, Nathan found it... questionable.

For some reason, this Life Simulator system... seemed intent on developing him into someone like Cao Cao.

As a proper protagonist, he couldn't follow the path of improper readers.

So after reviewing these three cards, the answer was clear.

"I choose Fire of Sin Burning!"

Comparatively, this offered the best value as a combat talent.

[Active talent selection - Fire of Sin Burning. After the life script loads, a random talent of any quality will also be generated!]

Nathan perked up - finally, it was his favorite time for opening random boxes.

[Life Simulator formally beginning, now loading script!]

[Loading progress: 0%...10%...30%...60%]

As the simulator loaded, sounds of clashing weapons echoed around Nathan.

Clearly... even with vision obscured by thick fog, the two women's battle continued fiercely.

"Ice block, you're strong... but this Director is stronger!"

"Don't get too cocky, I haven't even used my full strength!"

Through the dense fog came the women's taunting words.

Nathan could no longer intervene, as the simulator had finished loading.

[90%...100%...]

[Loading complete, beginning script import - Alas, The Butterfly Flies Away!]

[You have descended into this world!]

[The world you're in seems fundamentally different from reality.]

[You're surrounded by spirits, discovering this is the world after death.]

[You journeyed forward, from the afterlife to the boundary between life and death.]

[Here, you encounter a girl about to faint, and the story begins...]

[Script loading complete, now drawing random talent!]

[Congratulations, you've obtained the Blue Talent - Spirit's Favor!]

The system-drawn card emanated blue light.

Looking at the card's description, Nathan could only say his luck this time seemed... not so good.

[Blue Talent - Spirit's Favor: After obtaining this talent, all spirits will feel close to you.]

Having just passed on a spirit-focused talent, now another spirit-related talent appeared.

This meant this life simulation was basically spirit-related.

Therefore, the female protagonist of this life simulation could be completely confirmed.

Besides Hu Tao, who was currently battling Shenhe, there were no other candidates.

[Immersion mode activated, life simulation loading successful!]

At this point, Nathan's consciousness began rapidly transferring.

The thick white mist around him vanished in an instant.

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

"Where is this place?"

When Nathan awoke, he found himself once again surrounded by mist.

If not for the surrounding gray color, he would have thought he hadn't entered the dungeon at all.

Dense gray mist obscured his vision.

Now completely unable to see his fingers before him, Nathan had no idea where he was.

"Something's approaching?"

However, even having lost his vision, his perception hadn't disappeared.

He sensed some faint energy slowly approaching his location.

"Young man, why are you here?"

When it came close enough, Nathan could finally see the glowing figure.

It was an elderly auntie, currently examining him.

Unlike the living, the glowing auntie was clearly in spirit form.

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

Nathan asked, and the auntie's lips curved into a friendly smile.

He knew this was the recently obtained talent taking effect.

"Young man, this is Wuwang Hill, the boundary between life and death. How did a living person like you get in here?"

The auntie's warm gaze fell on him, seemingly concerned about Nathan's situation.

"I'm not sure myself, I just woke up and found myself here!"

Nathan pretended to be ignorant - his arrival here was, of course, the simulator system's doing.

"The yin energy is too strong here, it's harmful to the living. Young man, you should leave quickly."

The auntie kindly advised, then seemed to think of something.

"By the way young man, I see you're quite handsome - are you married? Would you like me to introduce my granddaughter to you?"

At this... Nathan felt helpless.

Even as a spirit, aunties still loved to play matchmaker...
