Chapter 51: Scumbag
[This simulation has ended. The audience will now rate the performance. Please wait.]
[Ratings completed. The simulation has a maximum score of 100. The host received 90 points and 0 points, resulting in a final score of 45 points.]
[System evaluation for the host: Acting like a villain, yet possessing the demeanor of a hero!]
[Audience feedback: "I hope that person, Seele, can find happiness," "A philandering man deserves to die!"]
[The reward of 30 points has been granted to the host. Please check it.]
[The host performed exceptionally well during this random scenario and is rewarded with 7 points in Strength and 6 points in Spirit attributes.]
[Due to the random events in this simulation, the host's acquired attributes were significantly reduced. The final attribute distribution is 2 points in Strength and 1 point in Spirit.]
[The host acquired the Honkai physique during this simulation and utilized it to the extreme. As a result, the host's physique has been slightly improved (+1 Physique attribute), and an additional skill is awarded - Honkai Resistance.]
[Special reward has been granted — Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Advanced Precision Supply Card!]
"What? An Advanced Precision Supply Card? What is this? Let me see."
[Advanced Precision Supply Card: After use, the host can randomly choose one of the following two rewards.]
[1: Randomly obtain a 5-star skill or technique.]
[2: Randomly obtain a 6-star incomplete technique or skill (Note: The technique will be obtained in a 4-star state. The host can train this technique in both reality and simulation, and after meeting the corresponding upgrade requirements, the technique can be upgraded!)]
"Why even bother thinking? The second option, of course. Do you think I'm a fool to pick anything other than a 6-star reward?" (TL/N: Personally i'd pick the complete 5 star instead of an incomplete 6 star that you aren't even sure that you can complete in the first place.)
"I choose the second option, hurry up and draw it for me."
[Congratulations to the host for randomly obtaining the 6-star technique - Sword Thunder Mastery (Incomplete Manuscript).]
[Sword Thunder Mastery (6-star incomplete manuscript) - Technique: The ultimate skill from the Qingyun Sect's spells in a certain game, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, condensing into divine lightning. A grand and awe-inspiring heavenly might, guided by the sword! This technique triggers the world's terrifying power with the body of a mortal, laying it with divine weapons, drawing down the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. The grand heavenly might and divine power are displayed when used, causing the heavens to tremble and the earth to shake!
Note: The current technique is in an incomplete state and only has a tenth of its original power!
Note 2: This technique requires the use of divine weapons; otherwise, it will attract the thunder and self-destruct!
Note 3: The technique has been revised for this world; the host should not have too high expectations!]
"System, are you sure I'm still in the world of Honkai and not some fantasy world? Even though my name is still Lu, the rewards you give me are just too outrageous. Give me back my world of Honkai!"
"Please refrain from slandering the system! The contents obtained from the Precision Supply Card are entirely random, and there are no hidden manipulations!"
"Damn! This is outrageous! Others who transmigrate usually get abilities from their original world. Why did I end up with this nonsense?"
Lu Yu pondered over his current abilities: Eight Extreme Fist, Turtle Breath Technique, and now Sword Thunder Mastery. Did the system want him to shatter the void in the future?
"Whatever, dwelling on this is pointless. It seems that in the next simulation, I'll be switching to another character again."
[Yes.]
"Speaking of which, the ratings for this simulation were ridiculous. Who gave me a score of zero? After all my hard work, I got a zero? Is there no justice in the world? When I find out who gave me that score, I won't spare her!"
Lu Yu carefully considered the two feedback comments and their likely authors.
Hmm, the comment "I hope Seele can find happiness" was probably left by Bronya. It fits her doting on Seele.
As for "A philandering man deserves to die," it should be from the Other Seele, right? Or maybe it was from Seele? (TL/N: I'll call seele's other "personality" just Other Seele. It'd be a pain otherwise.)
No, Seele's comment would likely be more along the lines of: "Anyone who dares to touch me will die. Disgusting men, stay away!"
After eliminating Seele, the comment must have been from the Other Seele. It suited her personality perfectly.
But the Other Seele, are you sure you're upset about my philandering behavior? In reality, you're actually concerned about me marrying Seele, right? Don't think I'm unaware that you, Other Seele, are essentially an orange-flavored woman! (TL/N: Orange flavored woman? wut? Can somebody help? i'm Confused!)
Hmph! the Other Seele and Seele's orange flavors are something I've already experienced. What kind of person you are, I know very well!
And, now that I think about it, the Seele in this simulation is not the same as the Seele in reality. So, why bother giving me a zero score for that?
System, I protest! This woman is giving me an unfair rating!
...
"Where did the other me go?"
After watching the life of the other Seele (TL/N: she talking about the simulation one.), Seele returned to the Sea of Quantum.
"I'm right here." A voice echoed from deep within Seele's heart.
"What? Didn't you just get a physical body?" Seele recalled seeing the other version of herself eat the food on the table and drink the beverage. That must have required a physical body. So, why was she back in her own body now?
"I'm not sure. Once we came out, I returned to your body."
"I see... I thought you'd be free now."
To the kind-hearted Seele, it would be a good thing for the other her to have a physical body, but it was a bit of a pity. She wondered why the other Seele lost her physical body once they returned to the Sea of Quantum.
"It doesn't matter, Seele. A physical body isn't essential for me. Besides, you are weak, and I cannot leave you unprotected."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you."
Indeed, Seele was able to endure in the Sea of Quantum because the other version of herself accompanied her.
"By the way, the other me, why did you give it a zero score? The life of that other Seele seemed pretty good. Although she eventually lost her beloved, I think she lived a happy life. With sisters like Brinya and Sin Mal, and a lovely daughter, she should be content, right?
Also, that brother of hers is really impressive. If we knew someone like him, we wouldn't have been trapped in the Sea of Quantum, right?"
Upon hearing Seele's evaluation of the man they saw, Other Seele pursed her lips. In her eyes, that man was not a good person at all. Marrying Seele while having a connection with Cocolia, was he not a scumbag?
"But..."
"Don't 'but' me, Seele. Men are all scumbags! If that man dares to appear before me, I promise he'll disappear from this world in an instant!"
As she said this, Other Seele recalled the scene she had witnessed earlier
with the three women and one man, and her face blushed slightly.
Hmph! Scumbag!
