Time slowly passed.

Outside the square, countless parents waited eagerly. Many students had already finished their Life Simulations, and more and more emerged from the square. The vast majority hung their heads in dejection.

After failing their Life Simulations, they could only attend an ordinary university, then live ordinary lives—graduating, working, marrying, and having children.

Then they would place their hopes on their descendants, wishing for them to stand out during their Life Simulations and make up for their own regrets.

Amid the dejected students, a young girl stood on tiptoe like a prairie dog, craning her neck and looking around.

Suddenly, the girl's turning little head froze. Then she skipped straight toward the shade beneath the trees outside the square.

"Mom, Brother!"

Before she arrived, her loud, boisterous voice did.

"I told you there was no need to come! When the great demon king Xiangxiang takes the field, becoming an Official Simulator is as easy as lifting a hand, isn't it?"

"I got an A+ evaluation this time! I'm an Eighth-Rank Simulator now!"

Wang Xiangxiang's tail was practically sticking up into the sky as she proudly raised her chin.

"Look at her! You can't even compare to a girl!"

"You spent all day cutting corners when you should've been studying. Well, now you've failed your Life Simulation, haven't you? Just come back and honestly inherit the family business. Isn't being a rich second-generation kid who eats and waits to die wonderful?!"

The parents nearby all looked unpleasant, turning to scold their own children.

"You're making such a racket all day long. Is that any way for a girl to behave?"

Seeing her daughter like this, Zhang Yao knew that she had definitely passed her Life Simulation. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should be happy for her daughter or worried.

"Brother!"

Wang Xiangxiang's little face immediately fell as she looked pitifully at Wang Pan.

"All right, Mom. Today is a joyous occasion—my sister has become an Official Simulator. Let her go wild for a while."

With a smile on his face, Wang Pan raised his only movable right hand, gesturing for Wang Xiangxiang to come closer.

"Big Brother is still the best to me. I must've been picked up by you two old folks."

Wang Xiangxiang muttered softly.

Wang Pan's expression turned strange. Foolish little sister, your big brother was the one who had been picked up.

Given a way out, Zhang Yao naturally took it and reproached him, "Just spoil her. Sooner or later, you'll spoil her rotten."

Though she said that, Zhang Yao knew just how much pressure Wang Xiangxiang had been under in order to pass her Life Simulation. She often couldn't sleep for entire nights.

Zhang Yao had seen it all and felt it in her heart. Now that she had passed her Life Simulation, more than half the pressure weighing on the girl had suddenly lifted, and she had returned to her usual lively, energetic self.

The family of three chatted and laughed as they headed home. Wang Xiangxiang stood behind Wang Pan and took over pushing his wheelchair.

All along the way, Wang Xiangxiang chattered nonstop, while Wang Pan and Zhang Yao quietly listened to the little girl talk.

Because they frequently hired Simulators proficient in medicine to treat Wang Pan, and used Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to nourish his body, even though Wang Jun was a Sixth Rank Simulator, the family's home was not particularly large.

Four bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms. Perhaps it was a very nice home for Ordinary People, but for a Sixth Rank Simulator, it seemed rather shabby.

"Dad, we're back! I passed my Life Simulation, and I'm an Eighth-Rank Simulator now! What delicious food are we having today?"

After returning home, Wang Xiangxiang wrinkled her delicate little nose and looked full of anticipation.

"You're already this grown up, so use your brain a little. All you think about all day is food. I'm really afraid that someone will trick you away someday with just one meal."

Zhang Yao grumbled as she pushed Wang Pan to the dining table, scolding Wang Xiangxiang.

"Why are you picking on my daughter? My daughter worked hard for so many years and finally became a Simulator. Can't she enjoy herself a little?"

A head poked out from the kitchen. Wang Jun wore an apron and held a spatula, his face beaming. "Good girl, Dad knew you would definitely become an Official Simulator. Today, Dad made you a grand feast!"

"Exactly!"

Wang Xiangxiang stuck out her little tongue at Zhang Yao and made a face. With her father backing her up, even her spine straightened, and she dared make faces at Zhang Yao.

"You sure have a lot to say. The food is about to burn, so why aren't you watching the heat?"

Zhang Yao rolled her eyes at Wang Jun and said, "Pan'er is still the best. You father and daughter just bully me all day."

"Dinner's ready!"

After the final dish was placed on the table, Wang Jun called the family over.

Under Zhang Yao's unfriendly gaze, Wang Jun guiltily produced a bottle of liquor from who knew where and laughed awkwardly. "Just this once, just this once!"

"Mom, let Dad have a drink today."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm already a Sixth Rank Simulator. What's wrong with having a little alcohol? To me, this liquor is no different from water."

Wang Jun hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Since Pan'er is pleading for you, and today is a special occasion, just this once. If you secretly drink behind my back again next time, just see how I deal with you."

Zhang Yao spoke harshly, but her hands took the bottle, opened it, and filled Wang Jun's glass.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."

"Hiss—ha!"

"That hit the spot!"

Watching the loving display between the couple, Wang Pan and Wang Xiangxiang exchanged a glance. They felt full before they had even eaten.

Wang Jun had truly spared no expense on this meal. The ingredients alone were extraordinary, all beneficial to the Human Body.

Take this braised fish before them, for instance. It was made from Azure Spirit Fish that could absorb World Spiritual Energy but had not yet transformed into demons. Eating it could strengthen one's vital energy and blood and eliminate hidden injuries. A single fish was worth over a hundred Simulation Points.

"Mmm, this White Jade Tofu is so delicious. Dad, your cooking is getting better and better."

Wang Xiangxiang scooped up a spoonful of tofu and put it into her mouth, her eyes immediately curving into crescents.

Her cheeks puffed out as they moved up and down, making her look like a hamster.

"Of course! Your dad has trained for this. Otherwise, how do you think I got your mom? It was because she ate the food I cooked and couldn't stop thinking about it afterward, so she took the initiative to pursue me."

The praise from his little padded jacket made Wang Jun beam with joy, and for a moment, he got a little carried away.

Wang Pan raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth lifting. He knew there would be a good show.

Wang Jun suddenly felt a chill down his back and inwardly cried that things were bad.

He smiled sheepishly and turned around. Sure enough, Zhang Yao was looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. He immediately fawned, "Honey, have some food. I know Crystal Shrimp are your favorite. I bought these especially for you from the Simulation Mall."

"Brother, try this. How is it? Delicious, right?"

Wang Xiangxiang picked up a bite of food with her chopsticks, fed it into Wang Pan's mouth, and looked at him expectantly.

"Xiangxiang."

"What's wrong? Isn't it good?"

Wang Xiangxiang looked somewhat puzzled.

"If I remember correctly, we only just got home."

Wang Pan looked at Wang Xiangxiang and spoke seriously.

"Yes."

Wang Xiangxiang did not understand what Wang Pan was trying to say.

"Then what's with that expectant expression, like you're waiting for praise? I thought I remembered wrong—I thought you had made this dish."

Wang Pan could not help laughing, his expression full of teasing. "You don't think food tastes better after it's been touched by your saliva, do you?"

"Hmph, stinky Brother! I'm not feeding you anymore!"

Wang Xiangxiang angrily waved her little fists, though a faint blush quietly appeared on her exquisite, flawless face.

"Mom!"

Wang Pan was not flustered in the slightest. He turned his head and called out.

The moment Wang Xiangxiang heard that word, her heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly picked up a piece of fatty, lean-streaked meat, blew on it, and stuffed it into Wang Pan's mouth.

A smug smile appeared on Wang Pan's face. Little girl, you're still too green to fight me.

"All right, stop fooling around and eat."

Zhang Yao said gently, smiling.

Now that Mother Empress had spoken, the siblings stopped making a fuss, and the meal ended in a warm atmosphere.

"Burp~"

Wang Xiangxiang slumped onto the sofa, rubbing her little belly with a satisfied look.

"Brother, I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't want to leave you all."

Wang Xiangxiang turned to look at Wang Pan, her mood somewhat low.

Without waiting for Wang Pan to answer, Wang Xiangxiang continued to herself, "I wonder what Chuzhou Simulator University is like. Are the teachers strict? Are the students easy to get along with?"

"My Xiangxiang is the best no matter where she goes. With Xiangxiang's talent, won't the teachers at Chuzhou Simulator University cry and beg you to become their student?!"

"You're awful, stinky Brother. I'm being serious."

Even Wang Xiangxiang, who often proclaimed that her talent was unmatched beneath the heavens, could not help blushing a little at Wang Pan's praise.

Wang Pan became interested as well. Xiangxiang did not often look like this, so he could not help teasing her.

"I am being serious. My little sister's talent is unmatched beneath the heavens—she has the Potential to be a Human King!"

"Once Xiangxiang becomes a Human King, with Xiangxiang protecting me, I'll be able to swagger around sideways."

"Xiangxiang, go wash the dishes."

Before Wang Xiangxiang could fly into a rage from embarrassment, Zhang Yao's voice drifted over.

Wang Xiangxiang immediately wilted, replying weakly, "Coming."

After dawdling for ages, Wang Xiangxiang finally entered the kitchen unwillingly and began washing the dishes, muttering, "My brother is such a big liar. What Potential to be a Human King? He's obviously just tricking me. What kind of Human King washes dishes?"

The chirping of cicadas rose and fell outside the window. The smile vanished from Wang Pan's face, replaced by heaviness.

"Silly little sister, don't underestimate your big brother!"

Wang Pan murmured to himself, his eyes filled with affection as he looked toward the kitchen.

Wang Pan knew that Xiangxiang had always wanted to heal his injuries and make him a normal person.

But if Wang Pan's injuries had been so easy to heal, they would not have dragged on until now.

The best way was for Wang Pan himself to become an Official Simulator, then raise his Simulator rank again and again, slowly resolving his body's injuries.

If he relied on other Simulators to treat his injuries, then let alone Wang Xiangxiang, an Eighth-Rank Simulator—even a Martial General Realm Simulator would have to pay a terrible price to save Wang Pan!

"If I hadn't been reincarnated, and hadn't met Dad, Mom, and Xiangxiang, then dying would have been dying."

"But since I was reincarnated into this world, met Dad, Mom, and Xiangxiang, and experienced the beauty of the world, how could I possibly face death calmly again!"

"I want to live. Not only do I want to live, I want to live better than anyone else!"

Wang Pan's emotions surged endlessly, his desire to live incomparably intense!
