The Simulation That Appeared for Verification

If one looks at the big picture, this is a case where I didn't choose for these people to receive those memories, yet they received them anyway.

If one looks at the small picture, the things I do within the simulation will cause their feelings toward me to shift—either increasing their resentment or simply fostering greater affection.

If it is the former, I can look for an opportunity to run away and hide in some deep, remote mountain forest.

If it is the latter, then depending on how my actions influence their likes and dislikes, there is plenty of room to maneuver. As for simply increasing their affection, while it offers more room for operation, it can also help avoid a lot of trouble.

So...

I need to verify this.

Although Li Ke was still talking to Shen, even Shen could sense that he was preoccupied, so the meal ended quickly.

The two returned to the inn. Originally, Shen intended to sleep on the roof, but after being stared at by Li Ke with a speechless expression, he resignedly went to rent a room.

Since it was clearly impossible to continue secret observation, it was better to be direct and do it openly.

"Then, I need to determine the problems that will arise after Shen travels with me."

Lying on his bed, Li Ke popped a pill into his mouth, closed his eyes, opened his simulator, and as he selected the simulation, he kept repeating one sentence in his mind.

"Try to stir up as much trouble as possible!"

"Blur memories?"

"Yes."

Day one: You and Shen are invited by Karma, the ruler of Placidium. Watching Karma, who is still a young girl, you subconsciously observe her thighs.

Karma possesses the power to perceive the human heart, so before you can even say a word, she answers the question hidden in your mind.

"After becoming Karma, there will be no marriage or personal feelings, so there is no issue of the Spirit of Ionia residing within us seeing inappropriate sights. Also, thank you for the compliment about my legs being beautiful."

Although Karma feels no dissatisfaction—and is even somewhat pleased—you are still kicked out by her followers, and Shen is kicked out because of you.

Shen wants to hit you, but he restrains himself.

You begin telling Shen the story of Kakarot protecting Saitama on their journey to the West.

Day two: You and Shen begin your journey. Shen, finding you too slow, hires a fine carriage and enchants it with magic.

You arrive at a village at dusk and see a cute girl. After some questioning, you learn her name.

Irelia.

You ask her to be your guide. Out of respect for Shen, Irelia agrees to postpone her dance studies in Placidium and leads the way for you.

You continue telling Shen and Irelia the story of Kakarot and Saitama's journey, but this time, a mount named Thanos has been added to the party.

In the evening, you are called out by Irelia's father, who warns you not to make a move on her.

You express your disagreement; there is another man in the group, so why is he only targeting you?

You are beaten by Irelia's father.

Day three: You, Shen, and Irelia encounter a Noxus unit attempting to massacre a village to prevent intelligence leaks. You immediately launch an attack. Shen, who initially said he wouldn't intervene, and Irelia, who always felt she could only dance, erupt in rage upon seeing an infant killed because you couldn't reach them in time.

Shen displays terrifying martial arts and magical prowess; Irelia dances gracefully, and metal shards and various weapons dance along with her movements.

In barely ten seconds, this elite Noxus squad is wiped out by you all.

But half the villagers are also killed.

Irelia is forced to leave the group to lead them to her village for refuge. However, she accidentally catches a glimpse of your hidden family heirloom sword. She pauses, remembering she saw this sword when she left yesterday. Connecting this to you being called out by her father late at night, she boldly gives you her sachet.

Irelia's father, who is secretly protecting (stalking) his daughter, looks at you as if you were a mangled corpse, but he says nothing.

Shen is in a very low mood because he violated the tenets of Balance, yet he doesn't feel he was wrong.

You explain to him the philosophy of "killing to protect life, cutting down karma rather than people," but he retorts that this has nothing to do with the principles of Balance and asks what nonsense you are spouting.

So, you change your approach.

"Are those who would dash an infant to death truly not demons?"

Shen's mood sinks even further.

You continue telling him the story of Journey to the Bald.

Day three (continued): You encounter an assassination squad. Shen silently draws his sword and kills them all. That night, after hearing the story of Saitama punching the Black Bear Spirit into a pancake, he seems to have realized something.

Day four: You encounter Xayah. After beating her up, you begin telling her your theory of Ionian Unification. Xayah spits at you the entire way.

You continue telling the story of Journey to the Bald, and start to feel like you can't make it up anymore.

Day five: You continue telling Xayah your Ionian Unification theory on the road. Xayah, feeling like she is being tortured, says she never went to school and doesn't understand your gibberish; she only knows that you humans have enslaved magic, making it impossible for the Vastaya to survive.

So, you begin to explain your vision for development, harmonious development, and methods for the coexistence of Vastaya and humans. Xayah looks blank, while Shen joins the discussion, deep in thought.

At night, you continue the story of Journey to the Bald, but accidentally let Saitama kill the Four Dragon Kings. However, Xayah and Shen listen quite happily.

Day six: You continue discussing with Shen, while Xayah feels like she is going insane on the side.

That night, you tell the story of Saitama punching Tony Stark to death for blocking his path and liberating his workers. Shen realizes that violence can solve all unreasonable systems, and that is the logic behind making them listen to reason.

Xayah says that she really cannot understand you humans.

Day seven: Because of magic, you arrive at the target village. Shen kills the target monster with a casual swing of his sword and summons his good friend, Zed.

You told them the story of Saitama being pestered by a mosquito, but you realized that your tale no longer had anything to do with Journey to the West, because a newcomer had joined the team.

Clark Kent.

On the eighth day, you discussed the Greater Ionia Plan with Shen and Zed, while a tightly bound Xayah attempted to dash her head against a stone pillar to commit suicide, only for you to stop her with a smile and begin asking for her thoughts on the lessons she had heard over the past few days.

"Guh, kill me."

That was Xayah's reply.

Of course you wouldn't kill her; how could you bear to kill a Vastaya capable of uniting the Vastaya?

So you continued your earnest guidance, starting to tell her that one only has a single life, and one must absolutely never give up.

Furthermore, although humans are born of human mothers and Vastaya are born of Vastaya mothers, there is no reproductive isolation between the two, so children born to humans and Vastaya could be either Vastaya or human; therefore, fundamentally speaking, humans and Vastaya are actually the same race...

Xayah rolled her eyes.

Today, you told the story of how Saitama and his teammates fought against Sargeras.

You had completely let yourself go.
