Chapter 46: 'The Old Pro' (Patreon)

Victor sat imposingly on the sofa, while Guinaifen knelt before him.

The scene was exactly like the one in the dream.

This made Victor suddenly realize another use for the simulator.

It was like learning to drive in a simulation before getting on the actual road.

The fact that the heroines of these scripts also had to enter the simulator truly delighted him!

Indeed, once a person has the power to break the rules, their desires erupt like a volcano.

It seems he was just a common man after all~

That's why he was now beginning to understand King Zhou of Shang.

There's a very interesting question online:

When you gain the power of a superman, will you punish evil and promote good?

The most popular answer is:

Day one: I'm Superman, I protect the Earth.

Day two: I'm Homelander, I protect my Earth.

Day three: I don't eat beef.

Victor would most likely choose to be a Homelander—with some moral lines, but not many. This was the choice most people would make.

As for 'not eating beef,' that was too extreme. Victor, at least, was quite fond of steak.

Seeing her discomfort, Victor said kindly:

"Have you had dinner? Why don't you eat before you go?"

At the mention of eating, Guinaifen's expression changed instantly, and she subconsciously covered her mouth.

It took her a good while to suppress the urge to gag, so she quickly made an excuse.

"No, thank you. My family is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

Victor shrugged.

"Alright, I won't keep you then."

Then, Victor began operating his Jade Abacus.

A moment later, a notification sound came from Guinaifen's Jade Abacus, indicating that a sum of credits had been deposited—and it wasn't a small amount, totaling several million credits.

Guinaifen's feelings at this moment were somewhat complicated.

Back when she was a streamer, she would be ecstatic to receive just a few tens of thousands of credits a month, already planning to buy some snacks for her younger siblings.

Now, hearing the sound of a deposit a hundred times larger, she couldn't muster the slightest bit of interest.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of your older brother and sister. I'll definitely arrange jobs for them with good pay, little work, and close to home."

Hearing about the matter she cared about most, Guinaifen finally revealed a smile.

"Thank you."

"Why be so polite? You're my woman, after all."

Victor could hardly wait...

Now, with his passion spent and having entered a state of calm clarity, Victor directly opened the simulation system's interface, ready to begin a new simulation.

As was his custom, Victor first chose to draw a new character.

After a magnificent card-pulling animation.

Red gauze and red smoke intertwined, creating a hazy and indistinct image.

Victor felt as if he could smell the thick incense even through the system interface.

He stroked his chin.

To his surprise, the one he drew this time was Lingsha.

Victor weighed the pros and cons.

Although Lingsha had a fiery temper, her life experiences made her worldly-wise, relatively rational, and adept at controlling her emotions.

Therefore, the danger of offending her was far less than that of the unhinged Jingliu or big sister Feixiao.

But on the other hand, her identity also determined that she was a dangerous individual, and offending her would be anything but a wise move.

Lingsha was originally an alchemist on the Luofu. Because her master was demoted after getting caught up in a political struggle, he fled with her to the Zhuming, where she studied and grew up in the Zhuming's Alchemy Commission.

The Luofu's Alchemy Commission specializes in concocting elixirs, while the Zhuming's Alchemy Commission excels in acupuncture, incense, and moxibustion.

Lingsha combined the strengths of both schools.

As everyone knows, you can offend anyone but a doctor. A doctor knows how to make medicine, but also how to concoct poison.

A genius like Lingsha, who combined the strengths of both schools, was the most dangerous of dangerous people.
