Genshin Impact Villain Simulator, Becoming Their Public Enemy (Patreon)

Volume 1 Chapter 9-10: Shenhe, You Don't Want Chongyun to...

[To obtain the woman named Shenhe, you plan to use every method at your disposal. By reviewing student records, you learn about Chongyun's family situation]

[Chongyun was born into a famous exorcist family in Liyue Harbor. He possesses the extremely rare Pure Yang body. During his childhood, his parents tragically died in an exorcism mission. His mother's sister, Shenhe, another family member, took on the responsibility of being his guardian and raised him. Though by seniority Shenhe is Chongyun's aunt, due to her age, she seems more like an older sister to him]

[Based on the current information, how do you plan to pursue Shenhe?]

[1. Boldly and directly pursue Shenhe]

[2. Start with Chongyun and gradually win over Shenhe]

Direct pursuit?

It seems very unlikely to succeed.

After all, besides the nearly ten-year age gap, the issue of seniority is also a difficult obstacle.

Sorry, to get the reward...

"I choose the second option."

[You decide to start with Chongyun. Using your intelligence, you quickly devise a meticulous plan]

[Age 15: Using your position as the student council president, you find a group of privileged students in the school and get them to assist you in your plan by promising them conveniences and applying a combination of rewards and threats. They agree to your request]

[You instruct them to bully Chongyun. As expected, due to his gentle nature, Chongyun gets bullied severely. At this moment, you seize the opportunity to step in, drive away the bullies, and Chongyun, unaware of your orchestrated act, becomes very grateful to you. You use this chance to become friends with Chongyun]

Sorry, Chongyun!

You want to be my good friend...

But I want to be your uncle!

[Your friendship with Chongyun develops quickly. He even invites you to his home, where you meet Shenhe again. Despite the years, she looks exactly as captivating as the first time you saw her]

[You discover that Shenhe is very affectionate towards Chongyun but very cold towards others. Even though you once defended Chongyun, she remains indifferent to you. However, this only fuels your desire to win her over]

[Age 16: A year passes, and Chongyun fully trusts you, even sharing some of his secrets with you, such as his inability to control himself when exposed to heat due to his Pure Yang body. You plan to use this against Shenhe]

[You repeat your old trick, calling upon those students who had once helped you. Over the year, you've secretly given them many benefits and aid. Outwardly, you, the student council president, are at odds with these bad students, but in secret, you have a close relationship]

Well done, you're a part of the gang now!

Previously in the simulated life, I was just an arrogant playboy. Now, I've completely transformed into a hypocritical "good student."

[After school one day, you and Chongyun leave together but get surrounded by the bad students. On your signal, they attack Chongyun with chili water. As expected, Chongyun, upon contact with the chili water, triggers his Pure Yang body, becomes uncontrollably furious, and fights back against the bad students]

[In his rage, Chongyun is fierce, and the bad students, no match for him, are quickly beaten severely and left lying on the ground]

[This incident causes a huge uproar. Chongyun faces expulsion and even the possibility of being sent to a juvenile detention center]

[Shenhe, upon hearing this, immediately seeks your help. She knows you are the student council president and the principal's son. If you intervene, Chongyun's punishment could be greatly reduced]

[Throughout the past year, you've often visited Chongyun's home and met Shenhe many times, but you've never seen her so anxious. Although not Chongyun's biological mother, she has raised him since childhood and sees him as her son]

[Sitting behind your desk, you don't rush to deal with Chongyun's matter but instead confess your love for Shenhe. Shenhe, realizing your intentions, bites her lip and asks, "What do you mean exactly?"]

[Faced with Shenhe's question, you respond..]

[1. I can help Chongyun, but you must agree to be my lover] 

[2. Shenhe, you don't want Chongyun to be expelled or sent to a juvenile detention center, do you?] 

[3. Just one night with me, and I'll ensure Chongyun's safety]

As expected, all three options involve threatening Shenhe using Chongyun as leverage.

However, the tone and method seem different and could lead to completely different outcomes.

The first option seems too gentle; Shenhe's strong character might not yield easily.

The third option seems too blunt; it feels like outright coercion... If it comes to force, my strength is definitely not a match for Shenhe. It might end up backfiring and getting him killed.

Since I no longer have the chance to reincarnate. Every choice must be carefully considered.

"I choose the second option."

[Faced with Shenhe's question, you smile meaningfully and say, "Shenhe, you don't want Chongyun to be expelled or sent to a juvenile detention center, do you?"]

[Hearing your words, Shenhe's previously strong demeanor softens. She knows that if sent to the juvenile detention center, Chongyun's future will be ruined, and even the family won't accept a tarnished disciple]

[Shenhe sighs deeply and frowns, "For Chongyun... I'm willing to do anything."]

[You nod and say, "Chongyun will face a three-month suspension. During these three months, your actions will determine his future."]

[Faced with your near-explicit threat, Shenhe, though furious, agrees for the sake of Chongyun, saying, "As long as you can ensure Chongyun's future, I'm willing to do anything for you."]

[You didn't expect your plan to succeed so smoothly. Looking at the beauty before you, you feel a surge of excitement and say:]

[1. The space under my desk is quite spacious] 

[2. Do you see that sofa over there?]

[3. My office has a one-way mirror]

Is this really the student council office?

Now, Li Xingshan was very suspicious about the original purpose of this office.

Three options, three methods.

Generally speaking, different options could lead to different developments.

However, since Shenhe had already completely compromised, it meant that no matter what he chose, there shouldn't be a problem; the process would just be different.

[What’s the matter? Can’t decide? Don’t worry, you have a month, it’s not just this once]

"Even if you say so, in the end... isn’t it the same no matter what I choose?" Li Xingshan frowned and said, "After all, no matter what I choose, it's just a different description."

Moreover, typically, the text from the system is so bland and straightforward, leaving little to the imagination.

[Choose, and you'll see]

For some reason, the system's response made Li Xingshan envision Jack’s face.

"I... I choose the first one."

[I guessed it..]

Don’t randomly guess the host’s thoughts, system!

[You tapped on your desk and smiled: "My desk is very spacious underneath."]

[Hearing your words, Shenhe's white cheeks blushed even more. As a revered figure in the family, Shenhe was always looked up to by many, admired for her beauty, figure, and strength. Many men had shown her affection, yet she never gave them a glance. But today, she had no choice but to be coerced by a boy much younger than herself]

[Seeing Shenhe hesitate, you frowned slightly and said: "What’s the matter, Miss Shenhe, are you just saying it without action? You should know that if I want, I can decide Chongyun's fate today."]

[Upon hearing your words, Shenhe dared not hesitate any longer and had no choice but to comply]

Is this really me?

Looking at the text, Li Xingshan felt very conflicted.

Fortunately, it was just text, which helped mitigate his guilt.

Unfortunately, it was just text, forcing Li Xingshan to imagine Shenhe's submissive demeanor before him.

Yes, the most conflicting part for Li Xingshan was that even though he knew his simulated self was despicable, as a man, he couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of his simulated self.

[Sensing the host’s strong emotional fluctuation, switching to “Immersive Mode”]

"Immersive Mode?" Li Xingshan was startled and quickly said, "What the heck..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a blackout, and when he opened his eyes again, the scene before him had completely changed.

Now, before Li Xingshan was no longer the somewhat narrow carriage, but a spacious office.

Bookshelves lined up like walls, neatly arranged with books.

The exquisite one-way mirror clearly showed the students and teachers walking in the hallway outside.

Not far away, the beautifully crafted leather sofa looked very comfortable.

But most striking was the oversized desk in front of him, its ebony surface glossy as if freshly waxed, reflecting a face that seemed somewhat young but very familiar.

It was his own face!

That face looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, yet bore a maturity far beyond its age. He wore a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses, the typical look of a top student.

Is this... me?

What’s going on?

Li Xingshan gently pinched his cheek, feeling a slight pain, indicating this was not a dream.

Could this be the so-called "Immersive Mode" the system mentioned?

While Li Xingshan pondered, he suddenly heard a somewhat nervous voice:

"I... I'm going to start."
