Shen Yi temporarily pushed these thoughts out of his mind and continued to focus on the simulator.
He had already started a new round of simulation earlier that afternoon, this time opting for a scenario simulation.
On one hand, he wanted to test ways to make money, and on the other, he wanted to verify a hypothesis he had in mind.
Based on his previous experiences, he concluded that text simulations usually yielded talents, attribute points, and even knowledge gained during the simulation. However, they were also more realistic and challenging.
In contrast, scenario simulations primarily produced monetary rewards, offered more guidance, and allowed room for trial and error, making them less difficult than text simulations.
However, a certain level of evaluation was required to synchronize the rewards with reality, preventing Shen Yi from exploiting the system for points.
As for whether memory synchronization was affected by the evaluation level, that remained to be further investigated.
This time, the system matched him with two individuals whose overall ratings were relatively average, typical ordinary people.
One had a comprehensive score of 68, while the other was even lower at 59.
Shen Yi spent a good ten minutes reviewing their basic information during the selection period, and in the end, he decided to go with the one with the higher score.
Not for any particular reason other than his own peace of mind.
The girl’s full-body photo was also displayed.
She had a well-proportioned figure and a delicate, girl-next-door appearance, which was decent enough, but what stood out was her youthful energy.
Judging by her attire, she seemed to be a college student.
Name: Qiao Baozhen
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Charm: 62
Cup Size: B
Marital Status: Single
Number of Dates: 23
Number of Partners: 2
Preference Traits: Cheerful, Appearance-Oriented (Details require unlocking with conquest points)
Overall Rating: 68
……
Since the simulation had started in the afternoon, Shen Yi had just finished his second simulated date when he received a call from Fu Nanzhi.
For these two dates, Shen Yi focused on gathering as much information as possible.
Thanks to Qiao Baozhen’s appearance-oriented trait, it was relatively easy for Shen Yi to get her to agree to meet up each time.
With the help of several conquest bonuses, Shen Yi’s charm level was decent, though it didn’t seem particularly noticeable since he had been interacting with people like Fu Nanzhi and Cheng Jun.
But with Qiao Baozhen, she rarely hesitated to accept his invitations.
The reason both attempts failed was that Shen Yi was experimenting with some outrageous options.
The overall evaluations for both failures were naturally low—one was D+ and the other was D-, which didn’t meet the standard for synchronizing rewards with reality.
“Click.”
The last heart beneath Qiao Baozhen’s avatar shattered, signaling the start of the third and final conquest attempt.
“Dating Assistant Reminder: Regardless of the rating, a new conquest will overwrite the previous evaluation. Confirm conquest?”
“Yes.”
With the experience from the previous two attempts, Shen Yi navigated the options with ease, avoiding potential pitfalls.
For transportation, Shen Yi ditched the flashy choices from before and opted to pick her up on a bicycle.
This choice immediately boosted her favorability.
In the system’s projected scene,
the sunlight, the greenery lining the road, the young man on the bike, and the girl on the back seat with her hair flying in the wind.
They zoomed past in laughter and joy, the scene harmonious and unified.
For the subsequent conversation options, Shen Yi leaned towards simple and sincere choices, which this girl seemed to respond well to.
The reason was that in the first simulation, Shen Yi had chosen the most outrageous options, essentially replying randomly, leaving the other person speechless.
These included but were not limited to male chauvinist quotes, passive-aggressive remarks, sudden bouts of nonsense, and complete absurdity.
He successfully managed to ruin the conversation.
After picking up Qiao Baozhen, the next step was choosing a date location. With several options in front of him, Shen Yi didn’t hesitate and went straight for the amusement park.
The reason for choosing the amusement park was that the second simulation had failed there when he had opted for the outrageous choice of a public restroom.
He had wanted to see what a date in a restroom would look like.
In the projected scene, he led the girl to the entrance of a bustling men’s restroom and made a heartfelt confession amidst the shocked gazes of passersby.
The strange environment, the pungent smell, the buzzing flies, and several spectators who nearly peed on their hands.
The girl’s face turned green, her expression twisted in discomfort.
Given such a confession method, no matter how pleasant their previous interactions had been, the outcome was obvious.
With that lesson learned, the amusement park was a wholesome and safe choice.
The date began happily.
They rode roller coasters, boarded pirate ships, and drove bumper cars.
Laughter, screams, and cheerful chatter filled the air.
After riding the carousel, the confession came naturally in the end, much to the girl’s surprise and delight.
“Date concluded, conquest successful!”
“System calculating results...”
......
【Overall Evaluation: B-】
【Hint: Your conquest experience has increased.】
【Reward: 150,000 yuan】
【System Comment: The flower has feelings, but the stream is heartless.】
【Evaluation met, confirm reward synchronization?】
【Review the scene?】
A flood of information appeared, and the reward was decent—certainly worth the effort he had put in all day.
He clicked to confirm the reward synchronization.
The final result was more or less what Shen Yi had expected, and he didn’t feel any particular joy from the successful conquest.
Throughout these three simulations, his mindset had been more like solving a problem, devoid of any emotional involvement.
Shen Yi declined the scene review—there was nothing worth revisiting after the conquest.
This girl, Qiao Baozhen, was easy to figure out, at an age where she was simply drawn to romance and showing off.
She loved having fun, was somewhat of a romantic, and placed a high value on looks. Three simulations were more than enough for Shen Yi to understand her.
Standing up and stretching, Shen Yi decided to go out for a bite to eat. The place he was staying didn’t even have a kitchen.
Aside from a glass of milk in the morning, he hadn’t eaten all day, relying solely on some time spent basking in the sun by the window to keep going.
Sunbathing was energy-efficient and eco-friendly, but it couldn’t fully replace a proper meal.
He went downstairs and found a KFC to sit down and order some food.
“Thanks to her appearance-oriented trait, this simulation went smoothly.”
“It seems that the level of emotional investment really does affect the evaluation...”
While waiting for his food, Shen Yi reflected on the entire simulation process. The system’s comment highlighted this point well.
While the date appeared successful, it was really just Qiao Baozhen’s one-sided affection. From start to finish, Shen Yi had been more of an observer.
This made sense—a dating simulator without genuine emotional involvement would naturally struggle to achieve high evaluations.
Based on this, the two times he had received high evaluations were likely because he had fully immersed himself emotionally.
Once it was till death do us part, and another time it was a bittersweet farewell.
In comparison, the scenario simulations seemed rather simplistic.
Still, a reward of over 100,000 yuan wasn’t bad. If this was the minimum standard, focusing on conquests for a month and succeeding three to five times could easily net him a million.
This rate of accumulation wasn’t exactly skyrocketing, but it was certainly fast.
The only challenge was that success was required—failed attempts wouldn’t meet the evaluation threshold for reward synchronization.
The matches were completely random, so there was no guarantee the next one would go as smoothly.
Picking up a french fry and dipping it in ketchup, Shen Yi had some new ideas he wanted to test.
“I’ll try text simulation again tomorrow...”

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
