Orion was slightly startled. "Villain Simulation?"
[The Villain Simulator aims to simulate the life of a villain], the system responded emotionlessly. [The host must play the role of a villain in the simulation. Each villainous act will earn Villain Points.]
[After the simulation ends, a score will be settled based on the Villain Points obtained. The higher the Villain Points, the more rewards the host can exchange from that simulation.]
After listening, Orion roughly understood.
Simply put, it's about being a villain, causing trouble, accumulating points, and exchanging them for rewards?
"Although 'villain' sounds like someone who just feeds kills to the protagonist group... I don't have a choice right now."
"Who cares what kind of simulation it is, good guy or bad guy, as long as I can get stronger and get rewards, that's all that matters!"
In this dreadful place where he was about to starve and freeze to death, surviving was the top priority!
Everything else was nonsense!
[Command confirmed. The first simulation is about to begin...]
[Talent Word Devouring is being extracted...]
[Word Devouring levels range from white (lowest) to red (highest).]
[Please select three initial talents from the following five random Talent Word Devouring.]
[Electronic Wooden Fish (White): Life is not easy, electronic cultivation. You can silently chant 'Merit +1' in your heart to achieve a calming effect on your mind.]
Orion's eye twitched.
Even systems are getting into cyber-metaphysics these days?
One-star trash, get lost.
[Talent on the Left (Purple): Talent on the Left, madman on the right. Your way of viewing the world is different from ordinary people. You are more likely to perceive the logic and loopholes behind rules, contracts, and systems, and you are skilled at identifying and exploiting others' weaknesses.]
This is good, and it's a four-star Word Devouring!
Understanding rules, finding loopholes and weaknesses... It sounds perfect for doing bad things! I can take this!
[Eloquent Speech (Blue): You are naturally skilled at saying things that please others, adept at making black sound white. Inciting others is easier for you to succeed at and harder to be detected.]
Although it's a three-star Word Devouring, it's definitely a divine skill!
If you can use your hands, try not to argue, but if you can win an argument, why use your hands?
[Misfortune Transfer (Blue): You are an unlucky person. Tripping while walking and choking on water are daily occurrences for you. Once a week, you can forcibly transfer an upcoming misfortune from yourself to any target within 30 meters. Upon successful transfer, you gain a fixed Villain Point +1.]
Another three-star Word Devouring.
Looks like a cunning tool for tricking people...
Although it can consistently earn points, the downside is that it makes his own luck worse, and he can only choose three Word Devouring.
As he hesitated, the last line of Word Devouring came into view.
[Word Devouring (Gold): When you personally kill a target, there is a certain chance to capture one of their random Word Devouring. Captured Word Devouring are temporary (effects last from hours to days), but there's a chance they can directly convert into permanent Word Devouring. You can choose to load the captured Word Devouring onto your own template.]
Not only can I devour Word Devouring, but I can also load them onto myself?!
Orion became excited. If he took this Word Devouring, wouldn't he be able to grow infinitely by killing enemies?
Killing monsters drops Word Devouring! And there's a chance to get them permanently!
Although there are risks, this ability is simply heaven-defying!
As expected of a five-star divine skill!
The good stuff is always at the end!
Then what's there to hesitate about?!
"Misfortune Transfer" is cunning, but it has side effects, and compared to this talent that can snowball and grow stronger, it's simply too far behind.
"I choose Eloquent Speech, Talent on the Left, and Word Devouring!"
[Talent Word Devouring selection complete.]
[Your goal is to obtain as high a Villain Point as possible by the end of the simulation.]
[Note: Most abilities and items obtained within the simulated world cannot be taken out. However, through Villain Points, you can exchange for special items or Talent Word Devouring that appeared in the simulation after it ends.]
[Simulation is about to begin. Please prepare.]
[Loading simulated world...]
Heh heh, with these three talents this time.
One Word Devouring for talking, one for using his brain to find rule loopholes, and one for killing people and snowballing...
This start is stable!
Orion licked his lips; the mental excitement temporarily overcame his physical exhaustion and hunger.
"A bit interesting..."
The cold smile on his face became increasingly apparent.
"This world doesn't seem so bad after all."
[Simulation initiated.]
A buzzing sound went off in Orion's head, and an intense feeling of dizziness instantly seized him. Everything in front of him suddenly slowed down extremely... Time stood still.
His consciousness seemed to lose all weight, rapidly falling into an endless abyss... The source of thɪs content is novel✶fire.net
[At 0 years old, you were born.]
[Your mother passed away when you were still in your infancy. She died in that terrible Stellaron disaster.]
[You and your younger sister were adopted by the 'Family' of Penacony.]
[You were given the name Sunday and grew up under the protection of the Oak Family.]
His consciousness floated, observing another world as if through a thin film.
Orion felt as if he had become this child named Sunday, yet he retained the clarity of an observer.
The first simulation was actually this heavyweight?
One of Penacony's masterminds, the chicken-winged boy, the sister-complex Sunday?
Sunday's life, although he was ultimately crushed by the protagonist group, he almost became an Aeon, so he was considered a respectable major villain.
But this starting setting, orphaned with a younger sister?
[At 1 year old, you rarely cried; you were as quiet as a little adult.]
[When you first picked up building blocks on your own, you would instinctively arrange them neatly by color and shape. You could not tolerate the slightest bit of disorder.]
[At 2 years old, your observational skills were astonishing.]
[You always sat quietly in a corner, meticulously observing every move of the family members and servants.]
[When you wanted milk, you never cried.]
[You would use suggestive actions, far beyond your age, to make the servant responsible for your care not only willingly fulfill your needs but even happily fetch you an extra serving.]
This kid's good; he knows how to use PUA at two years old?
This must be the Eloquent Speech talent at work, right?
[At 3 years old, your younger sister Robin's singing was beautiful, one of the few bright spots in your life.]
[At 4 years old, you could already skillfully recite the Oak Family's laws.]
[You began to develop an interest in the complex power structure and operational methods within the family that was beyond your age.]
[At 5 years old, you and your sister discovered an abandoned little Harmonica Pigeon in the courtyard.]
