Chapter 3: Villain Simulator, Ch 3

[Open B-Level Loot Box, Congratulations, You've Obtained "Accumulated Virtue System"!]

[Accumulated Virtue System: Whenever you do a good deed or receive someone's gratitude, you can earn "Virtue Points". Once these points accumulate to a certain level, you can receive rewards.]

[Note: The system only works in reality.]

A Loot box... Can it even yield a system?

Moreover, it's the complete opposite of the "Evil Life Simulator"—the "Accumulated Virtue System".

So, in the simulated life, I have to be as bad as possible, but in reality, I have to be a good person.

Although Lucas often helps others, he doesn't do these things to get system rewards, but because it's his nature.

To put it nicely, Lucas is kind-hearted. To put it bluntly, he's a bit of a pushover.

In novels and comics, he might become that kind of gentle male protagonist.

But since doing good deeds can earn rewards, it's a great thing, much better than forcing himself to be a bad person.

Moreover, even if the things in the simulated life are fictional, Lucas would inevitably feel some guilt. If he can compensate through the Accumulated Virtue System, it would be a good thing.

"Rakani Chu!"

"Makabaka!"

At this moment, a strange low growl suddenly came from behind Lucas. He turned around and saw two eerie creatures with dark skin and white masks. One held a wooden club, and the other a torch, both slowly approaching him with a hostile aura.

Hilichurls?

Having some knowledge of the game "Genshin Impact," Lucas naturally recognized the name of these monsters immediately. As monsters present throughout almost the entire game, from the lowest-level Hilichurls to the rather troublesome Hilichurl Chieftains, they are the most frequently encountered enemies by players.

However, for Lucas, who had just crossed over, facing these suddenly appearing enemies made him a bit nervous.

"Jinei Nima Sla!"

At this moment, one of the Hilichurls, waving its wooden club and shouting gibberish, charged at Lucas.

Although Lucas was usually kind and never fought, in reality, he had learned some martial arts from his grandfather for self-defense.

Of course, he learned these things mainly to make the old man happy. After all, in his eyes, his grandfather's so-called "techniques" were no different from Master Ma's "Five-Linked Lightning Whip."

But seeing the Hilichurl attacking, Lucas instinctively used those moves. He sidestepped to dodge the club's swing and then landed a solid punch on the Hilichurl's chest.

"Charging Fist!"

Maybe because this was the only "active skill" he knew, Lucas automatically used this skill.

Although the essence of "Charging Fist" is "the more damage taken, the harder you hit," for an enemy like the Hilichurl, which has low defense and no armor, Lucas's punch broke its chest bones with a crack, sending its thin body flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard onto the ground.

The Hilichurl struggled for a moment before its body stiffened, then turned into black mist and disappeared into the ground.

[Killed a monster, gained 10 Virtue Points]

Can you even gain Virtue Points by killing monsters?

It seems the so-called "Accumulated Virtue System" is still based on benefiting humanity. After all, killing isn't exactly a virtuous act.

But Lucas didn't bother thinking about these complicated issues; being kind doesn't mean being weak.

Seeing its companion killed with one punch, the other Hilichurl lost its arrogance and tried to flee. Lucas swiftly took two steps forward and punched it to death.

[Killed a monster, gained 10 Virtue Points]

Looking at the distant silhouette of Liyue Harbor, Lucas started his journey of traveling and fighting monsters.

...

Meanwhile, in a bedroom of a mansion in Liyue Harbor,

"Kill... I'll kill you!"

A purple-haired girl suddenly sat up from her bed. She looked about seventeen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a flawless complexion. However, she looked extremely pale, her snow-white cheeks covered in sweat.

She was Keqing, one of the Qixing of Liyue.

She had just woken up from a very strange dream.

In the dream, she returned to her childhood and met a bad boy named "Lucas". This boy caused her to be isolated at school, expelled, and even her family was affected, forcing them to leave Liyue.

After leaving Liyue, Keqing's family fell into decline, her parents died in misery, and finally, unable to bear the pressure, she chose to jump off a cliff to end her life.

Unexpectedly, after jumping off the cliff, Keqing didn't die but was saved by the Abyss Order. They promised her great power in exchange for her loyalty.

Perhaps because she had experienced life and death or because she wanted revenge, the despairing Keqing agreed to the Abyss Order's "deal".

After a series of painful transformations, Keqing finally obtained great power. She became a high-ranking officer of the Abyss Order and sought revenge against the city of Liyue, which had once "abandoned" her.

At this time, Keqing's strength was unparalleled. Her innate talent was extremely high, and now, after undergoing the Abyss transformation and wielding the power of darkness, she had surpassed the Qixing of Liyue.

As the demoness "Thunder Calamity Rakshasa", she destroyed all the families of the children who had bullied her back then. The one responsible for all this, Lucas, was saved for last.

Just as Keqing was about to decapitate Lucas, she suddenly regained a bit of consciousness and was so terrified by the horrific scene that she woke up.

"Strange..."

Keqing wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and murmured to herself, "Why am I having such dreams?"

The version of herself in the dream was vastly different from her real self. Bloodthirsty, brutal, and indiscriminately killing the innocent...

In the dream, she had turned into the villain she despised the most. However, she couldn't entirely blame herself; after all, going through so many things and falling into darkness was inevitable.

"But..." For some reason, there was a spark in Keqing's eyes, "The me in the dream was so strong. At the very least, I should have the power equivalent to that of a deity's servant, right?"

Currently, Keqing's strength, with her Vision, was already at the top level, but there was still a significant gap compared to her corrupted self in the dream.

Generally, the details of a dream would quickly fade away after waking up, and the characters in the dream would be hard to remember. But strangely enough, Keqing clearly remembered the face of a person named "Lucas," even though she was certain she had never met this person in real life.

"Hmph..." Keqing snorted coldly and muttered to herself, "This person named "Lucas" his actions are despicable. It's a good thing he's just a dream character. If I met such a person in reality, I'd teach him a good lesson!"

...

"Achoo!"

At this moment, Lucas, who had not yet entered Liyue Harbor, inexplicably sneezed. He had no idea that he had already been remembered with hatred by a significant figure from Liyue Harbor.

"How much farther do I have to walk..."

Lucas, already exhausted, sighed, "Why does it feel like I'm not getting any closer?"

[At your current pace, it will take about three more days to reach Liyue Harbor.]

"Do you have a navigation function too?" Lucas frowned, "By the way, isn't there a teleport waypoint in the game? Can you teleport me directly?"

[This function is not yet activated...]

"Ugh..." Lucas said helplessly, "Can you open the character simulation again? Maybe I can get a reward for fast travel."

[The character simulation refreshes daily at midnight. Please wait patiently.]

"Help... Help!"

Just as Lucas was about to complain, he suddenly heard a cry for help from behind the bushes.

Startled, Lucas rushed towards the direction of the cry without hesitation.

Pushing through the bushes, he immediately saw a massive figure standing like a tower not far away, holding a giant axe that was two to three meters long.

The creature looked somewhat like a Hilichurl but was several times larger. It was a Mitachurl, an intermediate monster among Hilichurls!

In front of the Mitachurl were several wagons and people dressed as merchants. Lying around them were a few armored warriors, wounded and holding weapons.

Unlike in the game, where Mitachurls were not a big deal to players controlling powerful "Genshin" characters, these monsters were quite troublesome for ordinary adventurers and caravan guards.

"Beast! Stop hurting people!"

Without hesitation, Lucas stepped forward and punched towards the Mitachurl's chest.

"Charging Fist!"

The Mitachurl didn't even bother to dodge, but to its surprise, it felt a tremendous force hit its chest, causing it to stagger back a few steps.

Indeed...

While his Charging Fist could easily take down a Hilichurl, it wasn't enough to defeat a much stronger Mitachurl in one blow.

Moreover, the punch seemed to have angered the Mitachurl. After retreating a few steps, it stabilized itself and swung its giant axe towards Lucas.

Lucas couldn't dodge in time, and the giant axe struck his back, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

[Heroic Intent Accumulation: 50%]

The other effect of the Charging Fist was that it could accumulate "Heroic Intent" when attacked, increasing its damage. Gritting his teeth and enduring the immense pain, Lucas struck the Mitachurl again.

"Charging Fist!"
