"It's finally over..."
The two people sighed in unison while sitting on the cabin bench.
The system in front of Tian Shi displayed the words "[Simulation Failed]" and "[Compatibility with Elysia +30%]", just like last time.
Well, life always brings some regrets; Tian Shi has already accepted it.
Elysia, who had been cheerful when she entered, now looked quite dejected; after all, Bronya's dream had hurt her a lot.
As for how the two escaped from the dream, it's quite simple: what child wouldn't wake up startled if they dreamed their parents were hitting them at night?
Tian Shi thought to himself: not to mention Bronya, even if it were him, he would wake up with a start.
"Elysia, shall we continue?"
Tian Shi sighed and looked at Elysia.
Although Tian Shi suffered many psychological blows, at least he vented his anger at the last moment.
And although he got a bit scared during the fight, it cannot be said to be a bad thing.
Therefore, Tian Shi's mental state is actually better than Elysia's at this moment.
"Let's... let's rest for now."
Elysia raised her hands as if admitting defeat.
"I've always had the feeling that the people around Tian are too singular."
"I really think you are the least qualified person to say that, Elysia."
Tian Shi evaluated Elysia.
If we talk about the most singular person, it is undoubtedly Elysia.
And the most incredible thing is that Elysia can also be compatible with other people with a singular personality... well, except for the people in the dream simulation.
After all, it's just a dream.
Bronya's dream perfectly illustrates the extent to which a dream can be limitless.
Even if you consider the incorporation and workplace harassment as a single script, and add the subsequent high-speed chase and the Queen's Rebellion, that's three scripts, okay?
If Tian Shi had not intervened to end it all, who knows how many different scenarios would have developed afterward.
Don't underestimate Bronya's imagination!
"Well, that's enough for today~"
Elysia patted her face, cheered herself up, and stretched.
"Let's go back to dinner, get some good rest, and tomorrow we can do something even more interesting."
"Well..."
Tian Shi nodded and reflected for a moment.
"Ehm… Elysia, I might not be able to… well, it doesn't matter, anyway it's only one night for you."
"Eh? Is Tian Shi busy with something in the real world?" Although Tian Shi did not explain it clearly, Elysia had already understood.
Tian Shi didn't seem to care too much.
After all, it's just a simulation, and this was just a whim, as I'm sure I'll see Elysia in the simulation again.
"I see... Then I'll give Tian Shi a small gift."
"A small gift?"
...
"Ha!"
In the dormitory that had been assigned to her by Schicksal, Bronya suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly.
"Hmm? What's wrong, sister Bronya?"
Seele, who was sleeping next to Bronya, rubbed her eyes sleepily and looked at Bronya.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"No... no."
Bronya, who was actually terrified, insisted stubbornly on what she was saying because the lights were out.
How could I have such an absurd dream as my brother giving me a spanking? And on top of that, there's that pink-haired girl from who knows where who makes me call her sister-in-law?
Damn it...
I was about to use those mature women's techniques from those doujinshi with my brother...
Could it be that she really felt she couldn't grow that much? Is that why she imagined a beautiful pink-haired woman in her dream?
Damn it... remembering those dreams is too frustrating...
"Speaking of which, Seele, don't you have your own room? Why did you come to my bed?"
Bronya felt very frustrated, so she started picking on Seele: "Mei hits me in real life and I can't even have fun in my dreams! I'm furious!".
"Because we have to watch over Bronya."
"I'm not going to attack my brother at night."
Bronya thought about it and realized that, no matter who Tian Shi belonged to, she couldn't afford to offend him.
I can defeat those, but I cannot afford to offend these because of their seniority.
No matter the seniority, she can't beat them anyway...
It's really frustrating.
"But my brother might come to Bronya's house~"
By then, Seele had already regained her composure and gave a very reasonable and well-founded answer.
"That's why I've come to watch over Bronya."
"..."
So you're the most ruthless with your own people, huh?
"If you're so capable, why don't you act cute and pitiful and sleep with those two Schicksal girls, Rita and Bianka?"
What kind of skill is staring at your best friend?
"Miss Rita is a bit scary... although it seems Miss Rita expects me to go..."
Seele said weakly, as if she could read minds.
"And Miss Bianka doesn't know how to start... and maybe she's sleeping with Kiana right now."
"I also think that Rita, that maid, might like you."
Bronya reflected for a moment.
"Why don't you go to Miss Rita's house right now? Don't you think she'll welcome you with open arms?"
Seele shook her head immediately; although she didn't know why, she always felt uncomfortable going to Rita's house.
Mmm... Seele doesn't know it, but in a way, this is a kind of unease from meeting a lolicon.
In Rita's eyes, Seele's personality was exactly that of a "good loli," only a little too big.
It should be noted here that, since Seele has never experienced the Sea of Quanta in this life, she is developing normally.
Bronya looked at her younger sister from left to right and felt that Seele was about the same age as Mei was then, only a little shorter; Seele was only 1.6 meters tall now.
Strictly speaking, Seele currently has a youthful appearance... well, those who know, know.
This caused Rita to have an attitude of "certain interest, but not a complete interest" toward Seele, especially since Rita had not paid much attention to Theresa lately because of Tian Shi, let alone Seele.
However, Rita still feels a great affection for Seele because of what happened during the day.
Although Bronya tried to convince Seele to go find Rita, Seele shook her head.
Going was unthinkable; if she went, she would probably be manipulated at will.
"Seele, what a useless girl!"
Bronya deeply despised Seele's intimidating behavior toward her own people.
"A traitor."
"Uf... But, in our trio, isn't Bronya the traitor?"
"?"
Bronya did not react at first, but then she saw Seele's chest.
"..."
Bronya silently picked up the pillow and threw it directly at Seele's face.
"Ah!"
So what if you have big breasts? We're going to give you a beating, traitor!
A trio? What trio?
We really don't know each other well!
...
[This simulation is temporarily suspended; progress has been recorded.]
[Activate simulation reward]
[Note: Simulation rewards are early rewards, if the final result of the simulation is bad, the simulation rewards will be revoked and the skill investment will not be refunded.]
Please choose one of the following three skills.
[1. True Self - Man's Dream lv1: Can actively activate the dream simulation.
The dream simulation can only simulate characters who are asleep. The dream simulation is limited to once a day and does not consume simulation attempts.
There are no simulation rewards other than compatibility (also applicable to characters other than the host.
The system will not announce the content of the reward, this skill is not valid in simulations of the previous Civilization series)]
Is this considered a reward?
This was the first time Tian Shi had seen a reward related to a system mechanism, although the skill itself was not very significant to him.
[2. True Self - Human Heart lv1: Greatly improves affinity, allowing telepathic communication.
Increases compatibility with all hosts between 1% and 20%.
Randomization resets after each level up (also applies to non-host characters, the system will not announce the content of the reward, this skill is ineffective in previous civilization simulations)]
Telepathic communication... that's a fairly interesting skill.
That said, I do have a hint of telepathy, but it's too weak.
I can only give people a vague feeling... well, it's something very mystical, and it can only be used on the host.
This skill might not be as valuable as the first one, but it's more practical for Tian Shi; after all, he doesn't have a very good sense of dream simulation and doesn't lack compatibility...
On the contrary, telepathic communication is a very practical and convenient skill.
While Tian Shi was performing his evaluation, he noticed the third and last skill.
[3. True Self - Human Form lv1: Allows the host to move in physical form for 30 minutes a day.
The physical form ignores the distance restrictions of the host, ghost-type skills are disabled, and only a small part of the ghostly characteristics is inherited.
In physical form, the physical body is equivalent to that of a perfect and non-fertile ordinary human.
If the physical form dies, the host will return directly to the ghostly state, this skill resets at 0:00 every day (do not take physical form at high altitude, as this skill is disabled in previous civilization simulations).]
"..."
Do such incredible skills exist?
The body, this is the body!
Tian Shi thought his eyes must be red by now.
3333333!
Tian Shi stopped thinking and blindly chose option three.
[The reward has been confirmed, please note that this reward is temporary...]
Nine skill points, use them all, level it up to the max!
Please note that this skill is temporary; once it expires...
Add, add, add! Enough nonsense! Nine skill points? I, Tian Shi, have never been so poor after so many simulations!
Setting aside the fact that he originally intended to give his best in Elysia's simulation, even if the first attempt failed and the simulation was lost, he could simply restart it.
He could afford to waste nine skill points!
[True Self - Human Form lv10 (max.): Allows the host to move in physical form for 300 minutes a day.]
[The physical form ignores the distance restrictions of the host, ghost-type skills are disabled, only a small portion of the ghostly characteristics is inherited, and, in physical form, the physical body is equivalent to that of a perfect ordinary human... ]
The "True Human Form" upgraded to level 10 does not possess special skills like "Guardian God."
It is very simple and practical, but it increases the physical time from half an hour to five hours.
It was so affordable that even Tian Shi would have to admit it was good.
What's wrong with stacking data? As long as they are stacked correctly, it's a good skill!
Tian Shi even sincerely hoped that this skill could be even more "data-unbalanced."
Although his mind gradually calmed down, Tian Shi was still too excited to contain himself.
The simulated body and the real body are completely different concepts.
Although for a while I was moved by the physical intimacy in Elysia's simulation, I knew the simulation was just that, a simulation, and later I learned it was Elysia's mental world, so I came to accept it much better.
But now, in fact, I can have a physical body in reality.
How much time has passed?
I've been the ghost behind various simulations for nearly a hundred years, haven't I?
Tian Shi couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong, Mr. Tian?"
While Tian Shi was sighing, Rita opened the door and asked Tian Shi, who was floating in the hallway, with a worried expression on her face.
Rita used to be delighted to have Tian Shi, that ghost, in her room, but now... sigh.
"Rita, are you still awake?"
"Ehm... strictly speaking, I was asleep."
When Rita was asked this question, her face reflected a mixture of disgust and confusion.
At that moment, Tian Shi realized that he might have said something inappropriate; after all, he had interrupted someone's sweet dream.
"But... it's nothing, just a mediocre dream."
Rita suppressed her disgust and bewilderment, and gave Tian Shi a soft smile.
Although in her dream a pink-haired woman hit her, it was only a dream, so she didn't care much.
Rita felt there was no need to transmit her indifference and bad mood to Tian Shi.
"What was Mr. Tian complaining about just now? If something is bothering you, maybe I can give you some advice; I hope it doesn't have to do with other girls."
Rita said half-joking.
"However, if Mr. Tian is really upset because of other girls, I am willing to give my personal opinion."
Both are the type of people who don't want to spread their bad mood to others and are willing to help others solve their problems.
"No, it's not something that makes me feel bad."
Tian Shi smiled at Rita and said.
"Well... Rita, close your eyes, I have a surprise for you."
"A surprise?" Rita tilted her head and closed her eyes.
"Mr. Tian's statement really leaves Rita..."
Before Rita could finish speaking, Tian Shi gave her a strong hug.
Somewhat rude but...
After a brief moment of surprise, Rita turned around and hugged Tian Shi.
"Is this the surprise you were talking about?"
The warmth of the tangible body and the strong beating of his heart in his chest allowed Rita to clearly perceive another kind of emotion inside her.
"What do you think? Does it surprise you?" Tian Shi's face lit up with a brilliant smile.
Like a child...
How long has it been since Mr. Tian, who has always been relied upon, showed such a carefree smile?
While Rita reflected on this, she lifted her head from Tian Shi's embrace.
"Mr. Tian, Rita also has a surprise for you..."
