Holy crap!

Shen Yingning, this tentacle girl, really had some skills!

No wonder he had killed her outright in the previous run, afraid something might go wrong.

This time, they had teamed up. One controlled, one dealt damage, and their coordination had easily wiped out that group of Human Head Lanterns!

This teammate was pretty great.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

[Day 11. Some Awakened appeared at the military Shelter Camp. Believing you were experienced, they invited you to join their research. You discovered that Grandpa Qin among them had awakened Money Power. Any money he touched would become gaudy and colorful, with denominations starting at one million. If this money was given to a Vicious Ghost, it would turn around and leave. Another Awakened was a Taoist from Xuan Yang Temple. He had awakened talisman abilities, and the talismans he drew possessed immense destructive power against Vicious Ghosts.] [Day 12. You perfectly combined spirit money, talismans, and modern weapons. You developed spirit money bullets, blooming spirit money rounds, talisman shells... You even wanted to make a Tsar Bomba.] [You personally made a rifle out of spirit money and named it the "AK-47 Fire Qilin." You gave it to Shen Yingning to commemorate your fucked-up youth spent living in internet cafés. Shen Yingning looked utterly bewildered.] [...] [Day 19. After many days of preparation, the military launched its first proactive attack on the Vicious Ghosts! They first used spirit money rounds to persuade the Vicious Ghosts to retreat, then ambushed them from behind with talisman rounds as they left. More than a hundred artillery pieces roared. Under the barrage of shells, the Vicious Ghosts around the Shelter Camp were ground into dust. The crisis hanging over the Shelter Camp was temporarily lifted.] [Day 20. You learned from the military that, across the world, more and more humans were becoming Awakened. Everyone believed a counteroffensive was just around the corner, but you thought they were being too optimistic.] [Day 21. You returned to Bin City with Shen Yingning. You accidentally discovered that if Vicious Ghosts went too long without finding people to eat, they would begin slaughtering and devouring one another. And after devouring other Vicious Ghosts, they grew even faster.] [Day 22. Using Vicious Ghosts as materials, you made a long blade capable of slaying ghosts and gave it to Shen Yingning. She was somewhat Happy.] [Day 23. You were suddenly attacked by a group of Paper Persons. Fearless, you fought bloodily! Suddenly, a Paper Tiger that darted out of a sewer ambushed you. You killed the Paper Tiger, but you were severely wounded as well. You began to flee. Paper Dogs, Paper Horses, and Paper Oxen appeared along the way. Though they were weaker than the Paper Tiger, they were still terrifying. At the critical moment, Shen Yingning's telekinesis broke through in battle. Carrying your badly wounded body on her back and gripping the long blade, she fought desperately to carve out a bloody path. She lost one hand, but successfully broke through the encirclement.]

"This girl is fucking fierce!"

Jiang Qiao could not help crying out in surprise.

A breakthrough in the heat of battle, the kind of treatment only protagonists got, had actually fallen into this girl's lap!

And—

This girl had actually been willing to run away with him?

Jiang Qiao felt slightly moved.

[...] [Day 35. Your injuries had basically recovered, and your Invincible Body advanced to the Third Tier. Shen Yingning's body had also recovered, but her lost arm could not grow back. You kept comforting her. That night, the two of you had sex.]

???

Holy crap!!

Jiang Qiao nearly crushed the cola bottle in his hand.

That turn had come a little too suddenly!

She had only just recovered, and she had even lost a hand, yet you...

Jiang Qiao quickly took a gulp of Happy Water to calm himself and muttered, "They're both adults. Just having sex, it's normal. Totally normal."

[Day 36. You wanted to attach the severed hand obtained from the hotel to Shen Yingning, but she refused. That night, the two of you had sex.]

Uh—

Jiang Qiao froze for a moment and muttered, "With Supernatural Revival going on, everyone's under a lot of pressure. Appropriate relaxation is good for physical and mental health."

[Day 37. You felt that women would only affect the speed at which you drew your blade, so you prepared to stop being controlled by your little brother. That night, she came in wearing a JK outfit. You had never seen a 175-centimeter JK before, so you decided to explore properly.]

???

Jiang Qiao covered his face, feeling certain that the person in the Simulator was not him.

He was not some lecherous pervert. How could he be so obsessed with women?

[Day 38. You decided to lock your door from the inside tonight. That afternoon, you entered the wrong room and saw her changing clothes. You told yourself, since you were already here...]

Jiang Qiao stared expressionlessly at the lines of text.

[Day 39. You decided to hold fast to your original intentions. That night, you told yourself not to forget why you started.] [Day 40...] [Day 41. After finishing, you discovered that your Lightning Thunder Fist had broken through to the Fourth Order.]

"Pfft—"

Seeing this, Jiang Qiao finally could not hold it in anymore!

A mouthful of Happy Water sprayed far away.

Fuck, this kind of thing could level up Thunder Art too?

Jiang Qiao was utterly dumbfounded!

Could this be generating electricity with love?

He was numb. Completely numb.

[Day 42. Standing in the top-floor suite of the hotel, you looked down over the city district and discovered that there were far fewer Vicious Ghosts.] [Day 43. You left the hotel with Shen Yingning. There were almost no Vicious Ghosts along the way, and you felt a faint sense of unease.] [Day 44. You arrived at the military Shelter Camp. They told you that the smog shrouding North City District had vanished, leaving nothing inside. Meanwhile, everyone sent to South City District had disappeared as usual.] [Day 45. White Paper Money began drifting down from the sky. You found Paper Effigy markings on this Paper Money, but they were incomplete. Someone had killed the Paper Persons and turned them into Paper Money. Looking at the countless pieces of Paper Money filling the sky, you had a premonition that a great disaster was imminent. You decided to leave the area around Bin City with Shen Yingning. Before leaving, you advised the military to evacuate quickly as well.] [Day 46. You lost communication with the military Shelter Camp. It seemed as if only you and Shen Yingning remained in the entire world.] [Day 47. The moment you stepped out of the basement where you had been hiding, you stopped. You discovered dense crowds of Vicious Ghosts standing outside. They all wore old floral shirts, with long braids tied one in front and one behind their heads. Their faces could not be seen. They rushed over. You and your companion fought desperately, trying to carve out a path to survival! But suddenly, you saw a Braided Girl ten meters tall walking over from the distance.] [You died!]
[This Weird Simulation has ended] [The host survived for a total of 47 days. Cooldown time: 94 minutes.] [Congratulations, host. This simulation has granted you the talent "Mad Scientist" (SSR). It will automatically be used in the next simulation.] [Congratulations, host. This simulation has granted you the item "Skin Ghost Pocket." This item can be manifested in reality.]
