Volume 1 Chapter 3.1: I’ll Hit Girls if I Have To!
Another set of villainous choices?
Joining in bullying Keqing? Seriously? When I was eight, even teaming up with a group of thugs, we could barely hold our own against young Keqing. Now that she’s been training for years, she’d probably wipe the floor with us.
Plus, bullying a girl alongside other boys is one thing. But bullying a girl with other girls? If I did that, I’d lose all credibility in school.
“I choose the third option.”
[You stepped forward and pushed the girls aside, arrogantly saying, “Get lost! Don’t you know that only I can bully her in this school?”]
[Since you are the school bully, the girls didn’t dare to mess with you. They muttered a few words before leaving. The leader, a pretty girl named Xiao Wan, gave you both a complex look before leaving, but you didn’t pay any attention.]
Hey! Pay attention to that!
A character who looks like a villainess from a shoujo manga shouldn’t just be brushed off like that!
[You reached out to help Keqing up from the ground, but she suddenly slapped your hand away. Tears streaming down her face, she yelled hysterically, “Stop pretending to be kind! Do you think I’ll forgive you for this? Never! The reason I’m in this situation is all because of you! I hate you! I’ll hate you forever!”]
Even though these were just words on a screen, Li Xingshan felt like he could actually hear the girl’s curse.
She was right. No matter what I did, the root cause of Keqing’s isolation and bullying was that punch from years ago.
If it weren’t for that incident, with her talent and personality, Keqing would’ve undoubtedly become a well-liked, outstanding student.
Even though Li Xingshan and Keqing had formed some kind of twisted friendship, it didn’t change the fact that I had been a jerk from the start, and Keqing had always despised me.
[After saying those words, Keqing ran away, covering her face. In her haste, she left one of her shoes behind. Your choices are:]
[1. Chase after her to return her shoe]
[2. Keep Keqing’s shoe]
[3. Do something inappropriate with Keqing’s shoe]
Damn it!
The first two options are understandable, but the third one? That’s not just being a villain; that’s being a full-blown hentai!
Of course, these choices put Li Xingshan in quite a dilemma.
The first option is out. The reason is simple: I’m supposed to be playing the bad guy here. If I pick that one, it feels like it’s heading towards redeeming myself.
As for the third option… Li Xingshan is very curious about what kind of “reward” this choice might bring, but he feels it might steer the whole plot in a very weird direction.
“Keep Keqing’s shoe.”
[You did nothing and simply took Keqing’s shoe.]
[Reward obtained: Keqing’s shoe ×1 (The reward can be claimed after the simulated life ends.)]
What’s the use of this reward, anyway?
