Mondstadt City, Windrise!
The endless green plains, the clear blue sky, and the gentle breeze caressing his face all made Shiro feel at ease and comfortable as he lay on the grass.
No wonder Acting Grand Master Jean always came here to relax when she was under too much stress.
Shiro thought to himself as he watched Acting Grand Master Jean kneeling on one knee, leaning on her sword not far away.
With narrowed eyes, Shiro spoke:
“Acting Grand Master Jean, it’s good to lead by example with hard work, but if you handle everything yourself, you’re the Grand Master!
Not a babysitter!”
Jean turned her head, looking at Shiro, and a slightly weary but still firm voice came through:
“Shiro, I understand what you mean, but as the Acting Grand Master, this is my responsibility.
Besides, if even I feel tired, wouldn’t the Knights of Favonius lose even more confidence?”
With that, Jean stood up and walked over to sit beside Shiro.
Shiro sat up straight, looking at Jean seriously.
“But you can’t shoulder everything by yourself.
You still have us, your friends.”
Jean smiled and nodded, “I know, thank you all.
However, the situation in Mondstadt is still unstable, so I must work even harder.”
“You still need to rest, otherwise even a Vision wielder’s body will break down,” Shiro said with concern.
A faint, somewhat helpless smile touched Jean’s lips.
She reached out and gently patted Shiro’s shoulder.
“I will.
But you, Shiro…
I keep hearing the knights talk about the commotion you’ve been causing outside the city.
It seems you can’t sit still for a moment.”
“Isn’t this all to help a certain hands-on Acting Grand Master share her worries?”
Shiro spread his hands in a half-joking manner.
“Someone has to deal with those ‘troubles’ that aren’t convenient to put in the Knights of Favonius reports, right?”
Hearing this, Jean shook her head helplessly, but a hint of Warmth showed in her blue eyes.
“You…
you’re always like this, making everything sound so light and easy.”
“The freedom and peace of Mondstadt don’t rest on your shoulders alone.”
Shiro’s gaze drifted into the distance, his tone becoming serious.
“As your friend, and as a member of Mondstadt, I cannot stand idly by.”
Jean listened quietly.
After a moment, the ice on her face seemed to Melt a corner, revealing a heartfelt smile.
“Thank you, Shiro.
With you here, I feel…
the heavy burden on my shoulders has lightened considerably.”
A gentle breeze swept past, rustling their hair.
They said no more, simply sitting side by side, enjoying the unspoken tranquility and serenity unique to Windrise.
Finally, it was Jean who broke the silence.
“Alright, I should head back.”
Jean stood up.
“There are still many things waiting for me to handle.”
“Okay, then be sure to rest,” Shiro also stood up.
“If you need any help, just say the word.”
“I will.” Jean nodded, then turned and left.
[Ding!
Simulation count refreshed.
Start simulation?]
Shiro watched Jean’s retreating figure as the familiar electronic synthesized voice sounded in his ear.
“No.”
Shiro suppressed the urge to start a simulation immediately, and as he walked back to his residence in Mondstadt, he fell into contemplation about his experiences during this period.
For unknown reasons, it had been quite a long time since he transmigrated to this world called Teyvat.
As a player who had played Mihoyo’s games, he was not unfamiliar with this world.
Since Shiro’s initial landing spot was near Mondstadt, he once thought he had transmigrated into Aether, the male protagonist.
Although black hair and black eyes had nothing to do with golden hair and golden eyes, it is well known that humans are creatures who deceive themselves.
Unfortunately, whether he tried fishing for Paimon by Wine Lake or touching the Anemo God Statue in the middle of Starsnatch Cliff, both attempts ended in failure.
Incidentally, the reason Shiro still harbored fantasies about transmigrating into the male protagonist was that at this time, there was no sign of the Dragon Crisis in Mondstadt, and neither the ‘yellow-haired’ traveler nor the ‘white flying mascot’ were anywhere to be seen.
Alas, ideals are grand, but reality is harsh.
Even after Shiro tried everything, the final result showed that he really just started as an ordinary person.
Just as Shiro gave up and was about to become a kitchen assistant under Miss Sara at The Good Hunter Restaurant, his Cheat suddenly appeared.
[Ding, life simulator loaded]
[life simulator]
After Shiro’s research and several simulations, he had a general understanding of this Cheat.
Firstly, the number of simulations was not infinite; it refreshed once a month.
One could obtain rewards by experiencing a complete life in the simulation, based on the completion rate.
And during several simulations, Shiro had obtained some powers that were very interesting to him, distinct from the Seven element system, through the rewards from the final simulation.
However, what concerned Shiro more was that everything he experienced in his own simulations seemed to have a certain impact on the real world.
And the time and place of the simulations were also irregular.
This had already been tested in previous simulations.
But at first, Shiro thought that even if the location and time were different,
whether it was in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, etc., and whether the time was decades ago, hundreds of years ago, or even further, it would always be on the continent of Teyvat.
However, it was only after Shiro acquired a certain Talent that he realized his thinking was too narrow.
He thought that since he had transmigrated to the continent of Teyvat and obtained the Cheat of the life simulator, he could only simulate lives on the continent of Teyvat.
Thanks to it, in addition to some self-preservation abilities, Shiro also gained many skills related to life and other aspects, making him extremely knowledgeable and versatile.
This was also why Shiro was ultimately able to become Acting Grand Master Jean’s external assistant.
With the various abilities gained through the simulations, Shiro quickly dealt with the trivial matters that troubled Acting Grand Master Jean, becoming a glorious external assistant (and master of slacking off).
All in all, with the abilities obtained through the life simulator, Shiro quickly established himself in the Knights of Favonius.
And within just half a year, he became a highly respected figure in Mondstadt City.
Thinking of this, Shiro looked at his residence not far away, gathered his scattered thoughts, quickened his pace, and returned home.
After locking the door, Shiro went to his bedroom and leaned on the sofa.
“Open Panel!” Shiro silently chanted in his mind.
He then began to examine the results of his half-year in Teyvat.
[Host: Shiro]
[Existing Templates: Little Master Chef Shiro, Favonius Knight Shiro, Transmigrator Shiro, Scholar Shiro]
[Simulations Completed: 5 (Available Simulations: 1)]
[Talents]
Transmigrator (Orange~???)
Peerless Culinary Arts (Purple)
Master of Spear and Sword (Purple)
Heart of a Scholar (Purple)
Domestic All-Rounder (Blue)…
Ignoring the remaining blue and white Talents below, Shiro nodded slightly.
After these few simulations, he had gained some understanding of the simulator’s talent classification.
The lowest level was White, followed by Blue, Purple, Orange, and as for higher levels, he hadn’t drawn any yet.
But based on Shiro’s many years of novel-reading experience, he guessed that higher levels should also include Gold and Red.
As for the question marks after the Transmigrator talent, Shiro hadn’t yet figured out the reason and tentatively attributed it to the Transmigrator’s special nature.
And those templates in the simulator were rewards for successfully completing a simulated life.
As for failure, do you see those white and blue Talents?
Those were consolation prizes for failure.
Regarding these rewarded templates, they enabled him to possess all the abilities of that template from his simulated life.
After reviewing the panel, Shiro collected himself.
Even though he had done it many times, Shiro still felt a surge of excitement for the upcoming operation.
“Start Simulation!”
