I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 1: Savior: The Advent of the Devil Child

Chapter 1: Savior: The Advent of the Devil Child

Yunxi, an ordinary person who could barely be called a legendary Lucky Emperor.

To give some examples: whenever he took a taxi, all the traffic lights would be green; daily discount coupons would always expand to over 10 yuan; even when randomly booking a medical appointment, he would always get assigned to specialists on duty; he even managed to withdraw a full 2000 yuan from casual shopping rebate apps…

Of course, his good luck wasn’t always positive.

Since childhood, Yunxi had realized that his luck seemed somewhat overpowered in this scientific world.

So if Yunxi casually tested his luck – say, by standing in the middle of the road to see if he would get hit by a car – all vehicles approaching that area might coincidentally encounter other accidents beforehand, like being blown up by a passing fuel tanker, just to avoid any negative effects on Yunxi.

But Yunxi had always been careful with details, so such incidents had never actually occurred.

Thus, Yunxi spent 19 very happy years, with everyone around him being equally content.

Now, Yunxi was in his senior year of college.

Yunxi’s luck remained consistently reliable. The moment he entertained the idea of starting a self-media channel, a friend shared with him a lottery link for the currently hottest Holographic Game online – SimLife: Yokohama.

Yunxi casually clicked and directly won the game’s closed beta access, eliciting his friend’s frantic screams of Ahhh! I knew it!

At this moment, Yunxi was at home, struggling to unpack the Holographic Pod’s delivery package while listening to the staff member assigned to him explain the procedures via video call.

Staff: Mr. Yunxi, here’s the situation. As this is the first Holographic Game on the market, we require participants to sign a relatively strict confidentiality agreement during the closed beta.

Yunxi looked up, confused: Huh↗?

My apologies for not mentioning this earlier. Yes, it’s not a physical contract – it’s the agreement that needs to be signed online at the startup interface… You’ve confirmed everything is correct? Thank you for your understanding. Now let’s move on to the in-game content. Are you listening carefully?

Huh↘

When the game begins, you’ll need to first obtain an Identity Card and role-play accordingly. As a realistic life simulation game, after the game officially starts, the system won’t provide you with prompts, nor will it grant you massive Cheat Codes like other games. You’ll need to take responsibility for your own ‘life.’

Mhm→hmm↗.

Here’s an additional reminder: for health reasons, you must exit the Holographic Pod every 7 natural days and engage in free activities outside the pod for at least 24 hours.

Oh→What about after the game ends?

When the game ends, meaning after you complete it, our AI will analyze the completeness and excitement level of your ‘life’ and assign scores.

Oh↘↗So advanced!

Yes, if both your scores reach A-grade or higher, then this Holographic Pod produced by our company will be formally gifted to you.

Wow! So generous!

Not only that – if you achieve the Double A achievement, after the game’s public launch, your official account can inherit all the values from your closed beta testing…

Hey now! That’s even better!

Yes! But if you die right at the start, ‘SimLife: Yokohama’ won’t give you a second chance, so please be careful!

Oh↗? Things just got interesting.

Right! This is our company’s special design, meant to… wait. The suddenly enthusiastic staff member gradually cooled down.

He looked suspicious: Are you using me as the straight man in a comedy act?

The air fell into deathly silence.

The two stared at each other across the internet connection.

Haha, Yunxi said awkwardly, How could that be?

Staff: …

The staff left behind a You’re really weird, you know that? before hanging up the video call.

Yunxi sighed with slight disappointment.

He thought this staff member was quite fun to tease, but unfortunately the other party wasn’t very willing to engage with him.

But it didn’t matter – Yunxi was about to enter the holographic game, where he could tease cats and dogs to his heart’s content, since NPCs couldn’t fight back anyway!

Thinking this, Yunxi lay down in the holographic pod and began frantically clicking [skip].

Name setting? Yunxi would do! Skip!

Appearance setting? Wasn’t his factory-default pure black hair and cyan-green eyes good-looking enough? Skip!

Pain setting? The default no-pain setting was perfect! Skip!

Skip skip skip…

Finally, all settings were complete, and the game PV began playing.

[This is a chaotic city.]

As the camera zoomed out and switched angles, Yunxi was shocked, shocked, and shocked again.

Realistic graphics, advanced special ability settings, incredibly intense gunfights, and piles of corpses when the camera turned around…

A life simulation game playing this intensely!

But remembering what the staff member had just said, Yunxi’s expression turned serious again:

It seems that in this game, besides roleplaying your character, the most important thing is to protect your own life!

If his life ended carelessly right at the beginning, his final rating would definitely be terrible!

Yunxi did possess good luck, but for everything, Yunxi still needed to give his all.

After all, good luck wasn’t omnipotent – if it were, there wouldn’t have been situations where the major Yunxi chose became unpopular during his college years, or where after preparing for civil service exams, Yunxi discovered there were no positions available for him in the national exam.

While Yunxi was still thinking, the PV finished playing.

The game began loading.

[《SimLife: Yokohama》 loading…]

[Detecting player information… Basic player information loaded!]

[Draw identity plate now?]

Lucky Emperor Yunxi never needed purification rituals for gacha – he zero-frame started: [Yes]!

Golden light flashed, two pink fireworks bloomed.

[(Fireworks)(Fireworks) Congratulations player! You obtained a special identity plate!]

[Identity Plate: Beauty Has Its Reasons, Beauty Has Its Reasons!

HP: 1 (Maximum doesn’t exceed 3, you seem to be a sick beauty.)

Combat Power: 1

Constitution: 1

Intelligence: 1

Luck: 5

Charm: 10 (Maximum is the value limit, but not your limit. PS: Actually the game prepared many compliments here originally, but none of them are as beautiful as you, baby.)

Special Ability: None (But it’s fine, beauty is already your greatest weapon!)]

[Reminder, player! This Identity Plate has obvious skewed attributes! But perhaps sometimes, such an Identity Plate can lead to an extraordinarily exciting life…]

Yunxi was already accustomed to getting gold cards on the first draw, so he wasn’t particularly excited. He merely expressed strong agreement with the additional text:

Exactly! With stats like these, I can head straight to the beer hall after entering the game and deliver an impassioned speech, embarking on an absolutely thrilling life from then on!

But the combat power is too low. Looking at this constitution, the daily actionable time in the game probably won’t be long either. It’s inconvenient for map exploration and makes me prone to accidental deaths.

Yunxi’s tone shifted, Forget it, refresh.

Yunxi’s finger approached the [Refresh] button.

[Friendly reminder! You have a total of 10 chances to refresh your Identity Plate!

New Identity Plates will still be random, while refreshed plates will return to the card pool. Please use the refresh function carefully…]

No need to read! Lucky people don’t face the possibility of drawing bad cards!

Refresh!

Next appeared a special Identity Plate with maxed-out combat power and an exceptionally powerful-looking Special Ability – [Persecuted Transcendent]; another special Identity Plate with zero luck but all other stats maxed – [Tragic Beauty Ambassador]…

Each one seemed to come with its own story, but none were quite to Yunxi’s liking, so they were all replaced.

Only one refresh chance remained.

Yunxi still pressed the [Refresh] button without hesitation.

This time the game lagged for a long while. Just as Yunxi was about to report the bug to the staff member, two enormous blue fireworks – never seen before – exploded in front of him.

Yunxi: Whoa! Special ability! Whoa! Hidden Identity Plate!

Let the player see quickly!

With a light tap of his finger, a glittering golden Identity Plate slowly turned over, revealing its true nature to Yunxi.

[Hidden Identity Plate: Savior

As the great Savior, all your stats will receive a permanent 200% bonus based on your original values (some stats have a maximum value of 10).

You will gain the attribute Immortality.

Health: 30 (Base 10) (Enough to survive six shots to non-lethal areas. Maybe the opponent’s magazine will just happen to be empty.)

Combat Power: 3 (Base 1) (Went from weaker than a goose to matching two geese.)

Constitution: 10 (Base 7) (Your growth rate will be unprecedentedly fast.)

Intelligence: 10 (Base 8) (Even in the game, intelligence cannot be altered, but max-level intelligence can accelerate your casting speed and advancement rate.)

Luck: 10 (Base 9.9) (10-point luck is enough to become a causality-level weapon. Someone’s going to be crying with envy, but I won’t say who.)

Charisma: 10 (Base 9) (No idea how, but you just arrived and already have a puppy collar around your neck…)

Special Ability: None for now (The Savior needs a Special Ability that best suits them, so you’re temporarily without one, but it will awaken at a critical moment.)

Special Attribute: Immortality (When health reaches zero, you can gain new life by sacrificing an item you possess.)

Attention! Sacrificed items must meet the criteria of having unique significance or originating from the game system. Common items like roadside pebbles cannot be sacrificed!]

Yunxi: :l

Yunxi: 😀

Haha! He knew his lucky constitution was still working!

The world is so good to him—he’s happy again!

The requirement to sacrifice key items isn’t a big deal either! Most games have plenty of little trinkets meant for keepsakes with no other purpose. He just needs to stockpile a few!

Wait, there seem to be a few more lines in lighter text further down.

Permanent death?!

The smile on Yunxi’s face froze.

For the first time, Yunxi doubted whether his good luck was truly reliable.

Otherwise, how could he have drawn such an Identity Plate? This one was even worse than the previous ones!

But perhaps because Yunxi had been thinking for too long, the game popped up another notification.

[Congratulations, Player! You have obtained an Identity Plate that combines the advantages of all previous Identity Plates!]

[Detected that the player has lingered on this Identity Plate for over 30 seconds. The game system will automatically plan a high-scoring development route for this Identity Plate.]

[It is recommended that the player strive to become the white moonlight of Yokohama’s residents—misunderstood and scorned in the early stages, but appearing at the critical moment to protect everyone with their life, achieving an ending where all of Yokohama loves you… This route’s minimum rating is A, with a maximum of SS…]

Yunxi’s fists clenched halfway through reading, and by the end, he couldn’t hold back:

Seriously? This kind of route has such a high rating?

Asking the player to sacrifice themselves to save the world was one thing, but why did they also have to provide emotional value to the people of Yokohama?!

And then have NPCs fall in love with the player because of it… If love means always feeling indebted, then the game just went ahead and made the NPCs truly owe the player a life debt, huh?!

Whatever, it’s not like I can change it now.

After venting his helpless fury, Yunxi comforted himself while pressing the confirm button. Savior it is, then. It never specified what kind of Savior. A punitive Savior is still a Savior!

So they want him to sacrifice himself to save the world?

Hehehe, Yokohama, your Savior has arrived… but the great Savior will also collect a price from all of Yokohama in advance!

Yunxi’s finger finally landed, pressing the [Start Game] button. At that exact moment, the game prompted him to set a simple life theme for his simulation.

This theme had no practical significance—if anything, it might help the AI analyze Yunxi’s gameplay.

But Yunxi filled it in anyway.

What did he write?

The Advent of the Devil Child as the Savior!

Poor Yokohama NPCs—blame your bad luck for coinciding with the arrival of this Savior!

[Game scene loading… Load successful!]

[(Fireworks) (Fireworks) Welcome, Player, to the Otherworld! Now, please begin your life simulation!]

Author’s Note:

1. CP: Yunxi (uke) × Guo Zi (seme), no side pairings.

2.The protagonist is a fourth-dimensional threat, so their moral compass in the game will be relatively low. They are very petty and will seek revenge from dawn till dusk. If you can’t accept this, it’s better to quit now.

3. Timeline modifications will be made, such as having Guo Zi appear earlier in Yokohama.

4. Daily updates, regular update time at 18:00, extra updates at 12:00. Additional updates will occur after reaching specific milestones.

[Cat Paw] Recommending my upcoming column Asking for Validation, But in Yokohama Theater – main protagonist with bottom traits, pairing with Rimbaud.

[Cat Paw] Synopsis as follows:

Su Yu, one day on his way home, was approached by a Huang Daxian asking for validation.

Somewhat love-obsessed Su Yu: You resemble my ideal partner who has a civil servant position, outstanding appearance, gentle and wealthy, responsible, and exceptionally talented.

Su Yu: Oh, and they must not be a mama’s boy, with their salary entirely handed over to me.

Unable to fulfill Su Yu’s demands, the furious Huang Daxian threw Su Yu into the Otherworld called Bungo Stray Dogs, sharing its abilities with him but stating Su Yu must complete one human validation request to return.

Freshly forced into transmigration, Su Yu: If you’re bad, just practice more! Don’t play if you can’t handle it!

Ten minutes later.

Su Yu fell in love at first sight with the black-haired European who broke into the laboratory to save him.

Su Yu: My headache from not having a partner instantly vanished! Huang Daxian, you’re a miracle doctor! I don’t even know how to repay you!

Rando, who was sent by the Port Mafia to retrieve the test subject but inexplicably gained a partner: ?

As a certified human being, Su Yu never took seriously the Huang Daxian’s warning about the difficulty of seeking validation.

He thought he could freely romance here, and when wanting to go home, just ask someone if he’s human – getting an affirmative answer would immediately send him home.

Su Yu, having lived 18 years, was suddenly diagnosed as not human.

Su Yu could be an artificial weapon, a divine messenger, a free bird… but definitely not human.

What devastated Su Yu most was his partner’s response.

He said: You are human.

Huang Daxian, setting up such a disastrous starting point with laboratory origins, you’re being wicked again!

Extra scene:

Much later, Rimbaud finally understood what Su Yu meant by Do I look like a human?

Rimbaud gently: You look like my partner who will stay with me forever, and even if you briefly leave, I’ll break your legs and bring you back.

Su Yu: Haha, Rimbaud, you’re joking, right?
