章 56: Chapter 56: True Self!
Chapter 56: True Self!
"True Self? What kind of cryptic option is this? System, I'm begging you, please don't be cryptic like that! Mrs. Kai from next door in Terra is already driving me crazy. Can't you stop imitating her?"
There were 7 options. Lu Yu first ruled out the two 1-star choices, Joker and Obesity; they didn't seem very useful.
Fragile and Pitiful was easy to understand; it was probably similar to the template of Su Handsome from the Lang Ya List, or maybe a certain captain from Bleach?
In any case, it should be a similar concept, just that Lu Yu's was inherent, while Su Handsome and the captain's were acquired.
Lu Yu couldn't be bothered to comment on the Royal Power option; this system was definitely a king of clichés.
The talent's general idea was likely having some power but being arrogant. There was no need to consider a pure trash talent like this.
Literary Master and Liver Emperor weren't cryptic; they were likely to have straightforward effects. Since this simulation was related to Fu Hua, Lu Yu could directly pass over Literary Master, and Liver Emperor was a straightforward positive option.
Regarding True Self, after some thought, Lu Yu decided to choose it. Even though he didn't know its meaning, all the 3-star talents were straightforward positives, and even if he made a mistake, it wouldn't matter.
With Liver Emperor and True Self selected, there was still one talent to choose.
"I'll pick options 1, 2, and 5."
After a bit of contemplation, Lu Yu chose to forgo two 3-star talents and selected Fragile and Pitiful. The reason was simple; why not choose a talent related to appearance?
The positive effects of a 2-star talent were nearly guaranteed to surpass those of a 3-star one. This meant that the appearance boost from Fragile and Pitiful was definitely more than what the talent's description indicated.
What was wrong with being a delicate and pitiful handsome guy? Compared to just talking big, looking handsome was what mattered most these days. As long as the protagonist was handsome enough, even a disaster-conscious character wasn't out of the question!
[Simulation officially begins.]
[Due to the system upgrade, the current version is v2v. The host can enter and experience certain events prompted by the system. Please be cautious not to arbitrarily change event outcomes, as this could cause bugs.]
[Free Entry Mode is still available, and the point prices remain unchanged!]
[Because the host has chosen the talent True Self, this time, the protagonist will be simulated based on the host's real personality. Techniques and skills acquired by the host can be brought into this simulation!]
Huh? Is True Self talent this amazing? It's directly simulating my real personality? This talent is far from being just 3 stars. It could easily be considered 4 stars!
Hearing the system's prompts, an image formed in Lu Yu's mind: the beautiful and charming pink fairy lady, Miss Elysia, smiled sweetly at him.
Elysia: "A little token of affection, accept it~."
Wuwuwu! I will always love Elysia! Today, I, Lu Yu, will be the faithful dog of the chubby pink fairy!
[Age 0: In the year 1434 of the Shenzhou calendar, you were born in an ordinary village in Shenzhou.]
"Wow, this simulation is quite something. They've set up a background for me directly? Let me think... In the year 1400 of the Shenzhou calendar, that's when Fu Hua was traveling the lands of Shenzhou under the name of Phoenix. So, if it's 1434, it's still the era when Fu Hua was wandering?"
[Age 2: From birth, you were weak and sickly. Your parents were just ordinary farmers, and they did their best to raise you. Your family situation was never good.]
[Age 4: Due to your persistent frailty, your parents worked tirelessly. They took you to the town doctor, but unfortunately, the results were disappointing. The doctor informed your parents that your fragility was innate.]
[Age 6: Back then, even affording basic necessities was a challenge for ordinary families in Shenzhou. Your frailty had completely burdened your family, and your parents had no choice but to abandon you. Left to fend for yourself, you wandered in the woods. Suddenly, a starving tiger appeared and lunged at you. In a life-or-death moment, the technique "Divine Thunder Mastery" emerged in your mind. You used it to trigger a thunder strike that killed the tiger, but in the process, you were on the brink of death. At that moment, a passing Phoenix witnessed you triggering the thunder strike.
Phoenix was intrigued by your ability. After saving you, you told her about your situation. Phoenix's true identity was Fu Hua, a warrior from a pre-civilization. Her mission was to protect Shenzhou. Impressed by your potential to resist the catastrophe, she decided to keep you by her side. After hearing your story, you stayed with Phoenix, accompanying her in her journey across the land.]
[Note: This event is experiential. Would the host like to experience it?]
"I was adopted by Phoenix at the age of six, huh? I like this starting point. Let's give it a try. Wait, this doesn't cost any points, right?"
[This feature is a new addition after the system upgrade to enhance the host's simulation experience, and no charges are applied.]
"Then let's give it a try. I'm quite curious to see how Fu Hua was during the Phoenix period."
...
In the pitch-black night, the cool moonlight bathed the silent forest. In its depths, two figures, one large and one small, sat around a campfire on the ground.
"Young man, what's your name?"
Hua glanced at the handsome youth sitting beside her. He had black pupils, black hair, and looked quite frail. If she hadn't witnessed it herself, she would have found it hard to believe that this youth could trigger lightning.
"Lu... Lu Yu."
Lu Yu didn't know what name his parents gave him in this simulation, but it didn't matter. He had been abandoned anyway, so he might as well use his own name.
"Lu Yu? It's a good name. Lu Yu, do you know what just happened?"
Upon hearing Fu Hua's question, Lu Yu nodded.
"I know. I was attacked by a wild beast, and a big sister saved me."
"Big sister?"
Hearing Lu Yu address her like that, Fu Hua was momentarily surprised. After traveling the continent of Shenzhou for years, she hadn't heard anyone call her that in a long time. This young man was quite interesting.
Fu Hua gently shook her head. "No, I didn't save you. You saved yourself. Do you know that you just used lightning to kill that tiger?"
Lu Yu smiled at Fu Hua. "I know."
"Do you know where this ability comes from?"
"I don't know."
"Is that so..."
As Fu Hua's words trailed off, the atmosphere fell silent. After wandering Shenzhou for many years and witnessing the passing of old friends, she had gradually let go of her emotions. Now, facing Lu Yu, she wasn't quite sure what to say.
Lu Yu cast a glance at Fu Hua. In the moonlight, the immortal guardian, forever young and timeless, appeared incredibly beautiful.
Gray hair and azure eyes adorned a robe that highlighted her ethereal aura. Clouds were white, ink was black; above the clouds, beneath the ink. Illuminated by the flickering firelight, her features glistened like jade. Serene and elegant, her demeanor was unmatched.
