Life in a Simulation - Chapter 10

  3. Chapter 10 - New Playstyle of Injection Mode

“When will this life end?!”
In the evening, Zhou Ming, dragging his exhausted body back to the rental room, collapsed onto the single bed.
His hands, covered in blood blisters, couldn’t move a single finger. Having worked on the construction site for just over a day, Zhou Ming found himself barely able to hold on.
“System, it would be great if you could bring me, a living person, into the game. Then I wouldn’t have to suffer in this damn world!”
“Would the host like to confirm? Please select the game map, and the system will begin the transmission,” the system in his mind said.
“Transmission, my sister? Get lost.”
Zhou Ming was speechless. The usually serious system seemed to have time to joke with him today.
“System, I have to work these days. Is there any way for me to earn some achievement points in the game? Bricklaying is too tiring. I want to buy a few more strength boost cards.”
One not-so-good aspect of the “Simulating Life” system was that once Zhou Ming entered the game, his activities outside the game were immediately restricted. He had to maintain the hibernation mode of the body and could not exit halfway.
“The host can choose the injection mode to enter the game. Under this mode, the player can move freely in the real world.”
Injection mode, yes, there was still the playstyle of injection mode, wasn’t there?
Zhou Ming slapped his head. He had been so busy these days that he almost forgot about this game playstyle, which the system had introduced to him at the very beginning.
“System, if I choose to enter the game in injection mode, compared to the substitution mode, will the game difficulty increase a bit and the freedom be much smaller?”
Zhou Ming said worriedly. When playing in substitution mode, all the decisions made in the game were his own. If it was the injection mode with lower freedom, the game character would not be under his control. Any decision made could not be fully controlled by him. The corresponding variables would increase a lot, and how many achievement points he could get would depend on his luck.
“Yes, host. Compared with the absolutely free substitution mode, the freedom of the injection mode is much smaller. After all, the player can only exist as a third-party perspective to influence the behavior of the game character… The performance of the game completely depends on the quality of the player’s guidance. As for the game difficulty, it depends on the performance of the game character. If it performs well, it may not be worse than what the player himself can do.”
“However…”
The system added: “When playing in injection mode, after the game ends, the rewards obtained by the player will be shared with the game character, so generally speaking, the rewards obtained in injection mode are less.”
“Share it, share it. As long as it doesn’t interfere with my work in the real world, it’s fine.”
Zhou Ming thought it through, opened the game panel, and prepared to select the game map.
His gaze fell on the newly unlocked game map “The Feud of the Lords,” and Zhou Ming looked at the background information of this map –
This was an absurd, ignorant, and conservative era. The lords were selfish and self-interested, the knights were obsessed with martial power, the farmers were starving, the clergy spread hypocrisy, and the slaves were barely clinging to life… In this world filled with wars, plagues, and thieves, as the son of an ordinary farmer in Granling’s Rose Town, how would you intervene in the feud of the lords…
A medieval-style picture of villages, castles, and knights was presented next to the narration.
“The background of this map really gives a sense of the European Middle Ages, with lords and knights…”
However, seeing the words war, plague, and thieves, Zhou Ming felt a bit hesitant. This background setting clearly indicated that this map was not a peaceful environment.
Instead, it was filled with all kinds of wars and disputes!
The normal survival of the game character was filled with a large number of uncertain factors.
It was even less stable than the life of Zhang Ergou in “The Reversal Life of Zhang Ergou.”
“Let’s put ‘The Feud of the Lords’ on hold for a few days. First, I’ll use the injection mode to go to ‘The Reversal Life of Zhang Ergou’ to farm some achievement points. Once I’ve accumulated enough achievement points to buy a few skill cards, I’ll start a new level!”
“Activate injection mode, the player begins to enter the game.”
…
North of Niujia Village, at Zhang San’niu’s home, Zhang Ergou was already six years old at this time.
“Ergou, Ergou, can you hear me?” A voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Ergou’s mind.
“Who… are you?” Zhang Ergou asked in a childish voice.
“I am you. I am your previous life. My name is also Zhang Ergou!”
“You are also called Ergou. Why don’t I know you? Where are you?”
“I am in your brain. I am now in a spiritual state. You can’t see me.”
“Brain, what is brain? Is it delicious? And what is soul?” A child’s comprehension is limited after all. Faced with complex words, they really can’t understand the meaning.
“Speechless, forget it, I really can’t communicate with a child.”
Zhou Ming shook his head and ended the effort to communicate with the young Zhang Ergou.
The disadvantage of the injection mode is here. The growth period of the game character is too long. To establish normal communication with it, at least until the age of ten.
However, the situation is a little better. The game still left a way out for Zhang Ergou. The tragedies of his brother Zhang Dagou drowning at the age of three and his sister being abandoned at the age of six, which the native Zhang Ergou could not avoid, as the only seed in the family, should not have a problem living to adulthood.
Time flew by. After Zhang Ergou was ten years old, Primary Farming Skill, Primary Blacksmithing Skill, Primary Carpentry Skill, and Primary Hunting Skill, before adulthood, Zhou Ming injected these skills, which had been bound to the game map, one by one into Zhang Ergou’s mind. With these skills, Zhang Ergou quickly accumulated a considerable fortune and entered a well-off life.
At this time, it was also about time to solve Zhang Ergou’s lifelong matters.
“Why can’t I marry Wang Xiu? I don’t want to marry anyone but her!” To Zhou Ming’s surprise, Zhang Ergou’s taste was similar to his own, and he also had his eyes on Wang Xiu from the village.
“Listen to me, Ergou, you can marry whoever you want except Wang Xiu, unless you can secretly get rid of Li Shouzheng’s second son, Li Wenhao.”
“Get rid of Li Wenhao, why get rid of him?” Zhang Ergou asked, stunned.
“How can you marry Wang Xiu without getting rid of him?” Zhou Ming rolled his eyes, as if looking at a fool.
“You mean? Li Wenhao will compete with me for Xiu?”
A burst of anger flared up in Zhang Ergou’s eyes. Li Wenhao, you dare to take my woman, I’ll kill you!
That night, dressed in black, Zhang Ergou quietly infiltrated the Li family. Following the route given by Zhou Ming, he sneaked into Li Wenhao’s room and without a word, a poison dart flew into Li Wenhao’s body. Li Wenhao convulsed for a few seconds and died shortly after.
After all, it was his first time killing someone. On the way back, because of nervousness, Zhang Ergou accidentally slipped and alerted the Li family’s guard dog. Although he luckily escaped, he still inadvertently exposed his own trail.
“Xiu, run away with me to the ends of the earth. Don’t worry, I will always be good to you and never leave you!”
Zhang Ergou ran away with Wang Xiu, and the two lived anonymously in a secluded valley, leading a life like a fairy couple.
…
The game ended.
Click on the game panel.
“Achievement obtained: 186/2, Game evaluation: D (Although Zhang Ergou’s life was obscure, happiness was always with him)”
“Zhang Ergou, you are always with happiness, but I only got 93 achievement points. You are a pitfall, don’t you know to be reliable?”
Zhou Ming helplessly glanced at the corner of his mouth. This round was considered a failure, and he could only look forward to the next round.
