Simulate Again!

"Really?"

Wang Xiangxiang looked at Wang Pan suspiciously, feeling that something was fishy.

But the temptation of Wang Pan agreeing to go to Chu Prefecture with her was too much to resist, and she hesitated for a moment.

"Of course it's true."

Wang Pan's inner drama flared up. He clutched his chest, looking as though he were heartbroken that she actually doubted him.

"Then... then I'll believe you one more time."

Wang Xiangxiang sneakily looked left and right.

Then she leaned close to Wang Pan, her lips approaching his cheek.

Wang Pan could clearly see a flush rise on Wang Xiangxiang's cheeks.

"Awoo!"

"Ow, ow, ow!"

"You stinking little sister, are you a dog? Why are you biting people?"

"Let go already!"

Wang Pan was dumbfounded. She had kissed him, but not quite.

"Mm, no!"

"You're definitely lying to me. You never planned to go to Chu Prefecture with me."

Wang Xiangxiang pounced on Wang Pan and pinned him down. She lay atop him, biting his cheek without letting go. She was not biting very hard, though her words came out somewhat muffled.

"Let go already. You've smeared saliva all over my face."

Wang Pan's face darkened. His little sister had grown up; she was no longer so easy to fool.

"Not letting go!"

Wang Xiangxiang looked thoroughly pleased with herself, her eyes curving into crescents like a little fox that had stolen a chicken.

"Watch my ultimate move!"

"Ha~ tickle, tickle, tickle!"

"Do you admit you were wrong? Will you still dare next time?"

"Hahahaha... I was wrong, I won't dare again!"

Without another word, Wang Pan reached out and tickled Wang Xiangxiang.

Wang Xiangxiang let go and curled into a ball, dodging Wang Pan's tickling hands.

"Mom!"

"Mom, save me!"

Wang Xiangxiang was laughing so hard tears were about to come out. She scrambled across the sofa and hid behind Zhang Yao.

"Nyah, nyah, nyah!"

With someone to back her up, Wang Xiangxiang grew bolder and pulled faces at Wang Pan.

"You two are always fooling around from morning till night. Don't you ever get tired of it?"

"Go to bed already. We have to get up early tomorrow to take Xiangxiang to the station."

As Zhang Yao looked at the siblings, her eyes were full of affection. Seeing them get along so well also made her feel deeply gratified.

"Okay."

Wang Xiangxiang's ears seemed to droop. She caved completely.

Looking back every few steps, she reluctantly returned to her room.

"Then I'm heading back to my room to sleep. Mom, Dad, you should turn in early too."

Wang Pan obediently returned to his room as well.

Early the next morning, the family got up early. After breakfast, they drove Wang Xiangxiang to the station.

At the station, people who had passed the Simulator Assessment alongside Wang Xiangxiang had already gathered there, with teachers nearby to escort them.

"Take good care of yourself once you get to school. If you run out of Simulation Points, tell Dad."

"Don't leave the school casually. It's dangerous outside. Keep your wits about you in everything, and don't believe whatever people tell you."

"If you want to come home, tell Dad. Dad will come pick you up."

Wang Jun kept giving instructions the whole way. He was not making a mountain out of a molehill.

Every year, Simulators died without any clear reason.

Some were killed by members of the World Destruction Society.

Some were killed by Simulators from the Savior Organization.

Both organizations were immensely powerful, with members spread across the entire world!

The World Destruction Society was founded by madmen who had failed their simulation assessments but refused to accept it, turning instead to absorbing polluted World Spiritual Energy to strengthen themselves.

They were filled with destruction and ruin toward everything.

They especially hated Simulators!

As for the Savior Organization, in certain respects, it was even worse than the World Destruction Society!

Every member of the Savior Organization was an Official Simulator!

Their ideals were equally extreme: hunt Simulators, seize others' fortunes, gather every resource unto themselves, and become humanity's saviors!

When Simulators slaughtered each other in the real world, the survivor could inherit all the assets of the dead party, including Simulation Points, items, talents, and so on...

Every year, new students were attacked and killed.

That was why every year, Chu State University arranged dedicated trains to transport new students. Every train had powerful experts stationed aboard.

"Your brother will come see you in a few days."

Seeing that Wang Xiangxiang was a little saddened, Wang Pan reached out and rubbed her head, speaking with a serious expression.

"Mm!"

"Mom, Dad, Brother, you should go back."

Hearing Wang Pan's words, Wang Xiangxiang felt much better.

"Hurry over. Don't keep the teachers waiting too long."

"Once you get on the train and leave, we'll head back."

Zhang Yao said this while wiping away tears. Wang Jun also fell silent.

When a son traveled a thousand miles, his mother worried.

Mm... but even more worrying was when a daughter traveled a thousand miles.

Wang Xiangxiang dragged her suitcase, looking back every few steps as she slowly walked away.

After verifying Wang Xiangxiang's Identity Card, a teacher led her into the crowd of new students for this year.

Quite a few people remained in the hall, watching from afar.

They were all parents like Wang Jun and Zhang Yao, here to see their children off.

At last, Chu State University's dedicated train pulled into the station, and Jiang City's new students boarded one after another.

Once all the new students had boarded, the train set off. Its enormous size did not hinder its speed in the slightest.

From stillness to disappearance took only an instant.

Twenty minutes later, this train, which crossed hundreds of kilometers of mountains and rivers, would arrive at its final stop—Chu State University!

The entire trip home was silent.

The atmosphere inside the car was heavy and quiet.

Bang!

After returning home, the door shut.

The sound of the door closing was heavier than usual today.

Zhang Yao's eyes were still somewhat red. Wang Jun opened his mouth, trying to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

When a child traveled far, a mother worried.

"Mom, Dad, Xiangxiang has grown up. She can take care of herself."

"When there's nothing else to do, you can video call her and see her."

"Besides, Chu Prefecture isn't far away. If we miss her, we can go see her together."

Wang Pan softly tried to comfort them.

"Can a video call compare to having your sister at home?"

"That little monkey, when she's home, I think she's too noisy."

"But she's only just left, and I already miss her."

Zhang Yao sighed, her eyes somewhat red and swollen.

That struck right at the hearts of Wang Jun and Wang Pan. Without Wang Xiangxiang around, the house had suddenly become much quieter, and it felt strange.

"Don't be sad. A young eagle must always weather wind and rain before it can soar through the skies."

Wang Jun wrapped an arm around Zhang Yao and comforted her.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Yao twisted Wang Jun's ear and snapped fiercely:

"Wang, what do you mean by that? So my daughter is supposed to weather wind and rain?"

"I'd rather my daughter stay by our side. I'll take care of her for the rest of her life."

Wang Jun: "..."

What kind of lousy chicken soup was that? It didn't work at all. If I ever meet the author, I'll make him find out whether chicken soup works better, or a fist the size of a clay bowl!

Seeing this, and to avoid getting caught in the blaze when the city gate caught fire, Wang Pan decisively ignored Wang Jun's pleading gaze and slipped back into his room.

"Sigh."

Sitting blankly by the bed, Wang Pan let out a sigh after a long while.

Xiangxiang's first day away. He missed her.

With a thought, Wang Pan connected to Life Simulation.

The next second, Wang Pan vanished from the room.

Loading Life Simulation...

This simulation is an additional simulation opportunity.

Detected that the Simulator possesses an Identity Card. Use it?
