People are in Honkai Impact 3rd, there's a villain simulator.

Faced with the little girl's words of gratitude, your heart is deeply tested. You reach out and stroke her smooth, doll-like face: "As a priest, saving lives is my duty. You should be thanking Miss Aponia; she's the one who sent me to save you."

Hearing your words, the little girl blinked innocently. She didn't understand the concept of duty; she simply felt a sense of goodwill towards you because you saved her, and invited you to stay and play with them.

Although Aponia was heartbroken, she didn't want to disappoint the children, so she could only ask you to stay.

Perhaps out of guilt towards Aponia, or perhaps unable to refuse the child's innocent request, you finally nodded in agreement.

You let them take turns riding on your shoulders and play football with them. When they got tired, a dozen of them would lie down on the grass to rest.

During the lunch break, Aponia made them some sweet vanilla tea, while you confidently baked them a chocolate cake, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.

You had a lot of fun playing with these abandoned children who only had Aponia to rely on. One of them, a three- or four-year-old, even called you "Dad."

Hearing the child's innocent remark, you simply smiled and remained silent, while Aponia blushed slightly and admonished the child, trying to get him to change his way of addressing you. However, the child was too young to understand Aponia's words, and even other children began to imitate you, calling you "Dad."

Just as you were about to leave the sanatorium, as agreed with Aponia, you planned to talk to the sanatorium director about the 'donation'.

[But to my surprise, someone beat me to it in the dean's office. It was a group of adult men dressed in sharp black suits and wearing sunglasses, who looked exactly like the Mafia that JoJo had seen in movies before.]

The man in the suit removed his sunglasses and said menacingly to the old director, "I know your sanatorium is having financial difficulties lately. My family is planning to open a casino here. I'll offer 500 million to buy it. What do you think?"

Faced with the Mafia's relentless pressure, the old director clasped his hands tightly to his chest in a crucifixion: "I've already said I will not sell the sanatorium under any circumstances. Please stop harassing me."

[However, the mafia seemed unmoved by the old director's desperate pleas. In their eyes, the old director was practically on her deathbed, and seizing her assets would be a piece of cake.]

[You overheard their purpose outside, and you know perfectly well that if the sanatorium ceases to exist, your secret deal with Aponia will also cease to exist. What will you choose?]

Option 1: Silently turn around and leave.

Option 2: Go in and interrupt their negotiations.

The fact that this group of mafia members is trying to acquire the nursing home at this crucial moment—are they deliberately trying to cause trouble?

Jojo was really looking forward to her upcoming time with Aponia, and she couldn't let them ruin it.

I choose 2!

You walk into the dean's office carrying a cake you made yourself: "Dean Luo Si, I made a cake for you all to try."

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

You bring the cake to the table and, as you proposed to Aponia, donate supplies and funds to the nursing home.

Upon hearing your words, Dean Rosie was overjoyed, while the Mafia member beside her immediately darkened his face, becoming quite ugly.

He slammed his hand on the table angrily: "Who are you?"

Hearing this, you clutched the cross to your chest and said, "My name is Qiao Qiao. If you don't like calling me that, you can call me Father. I can accept that."

Upon hearing you identify yourself as a priest, the man in the suit scoffed arrogantly, "So you're just a nobody!"

Immediately, the man in the suit ignored you and raised his offer to the old director: "I'll offer seven million to buy this sanatorium."

[You and the director know very well that although the security situation on Twilight Street is not optimistic, the sanatorium's size would be worth at least fifty million on the market. His offer of only seven million is tantamount to getting something for nothing.]

[The old director, intimidated by the man in the suit and fearing retaliation against the sanatorium, dared not refuse outright. She could only feign reluctance, saying that the sanatorium was the culmination of her life's work and she wanted to leave it to her adopted daughter, Aponia's, future husband.]

But the gangsters ignored them and said mercilessly, "Take the money and get out of here with your adopted daughter, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"

What's your response to the gang's unreasonable demands...?

Option 1: Pointing to himself, he said, "I am Aponia's future husband. This nursing home will belong to me in the future, and I will never sell it!"

Option 2: Pointing to himself, he said, "I am Aponia's future husband. This sanatorium will belong to me in the future. If you want to buy it... you'll have to pay extra!"

This simulator seems to really love peaches. No matter which option you choose, he's bound to be Aponia's future husband.

Qiaoqiao decisively chose the second option.

"I am Aponia's future husband, and this nursing home will belong to me in the future. If you want to buy it... you'll have to pay extra!"

[Congratulations, host, you have received 100 crystals.]

When she heard you say that you are Aponia's fiancée, Dean Rose was taken aback at first, and then her face lit up with joy. She knew very well that Jojo came from a wealthy family and was deeply in love with Aponia. She was a man worthy of entrusting her life to Aponia. She secretly scolded Aponia in her heart.

This child has always kept his secrets to himself since he was little.

He didn't even tell me he had a boyfriend...

Seeing that Dean Rosie didn't refute him, the gangster assumed she was telling the truth and could only lower his voice and ask, "So how many do you want?"

“I don’t want more,” Qiao Qiao said calmly, “one hundred million.”

Hearing the price you quoted, the gangster's eyes widened in anger. If he bought it at that price, he would not only not make a profit, but he would also have to pay out of pocket.

Unexpectedly, Qiaoqiao added, "US dollars."

"Are you deliberately trying to pick a fight?!"

The gangsters were so angry that they slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

You calmly blocked the gang leader's punch, then used your various martial arts skills to defeat them all.

After you knocked those gangsters down, all they could do was glare at you fiercely and leave cursing, "Kid, you just wait!"

Hey, pay attention! It's obvious these bastards haven't learned their lesson and will try to court disaster again.

You have gained 100 crystals.

After the gangsters left, you comforted the frightened headmistress until Aponia arrived, at which point you handed her over and left the room.

After she calmed the old director down, Aponia came out of the room and found you: "Jojo, I heard everything from the director. Thank you for driving away the gang for us."

[What's your response to Aponia's gratitude?]

Option 1: Clench both hands on the cross in front of your chest: "You're welcome. Helping others is my duty as a priest."

Option 2: He said with a cold laugh, "I've helped you so much, shouldn't you repay me properly?"

Without even thinking about it, Qiaoqiao immediately chose option 2.

You casually lifted Aponia's chin, and said with a cold laugh, "I've helped you so much, shouldn't you repay me properly?"

Aponia lowered her head in silence upon hearing this. She knew very well that you wouldn't help her without a reason, and she silently prepared herself to pay the price.

[Then, you pulled Aponia into the sacred and noble church and closed the doors.]

Chapter Thirty-Two: Father Jojo, the Persuasive Priest

An hour later.

Jojo opened the church door and walked out satisfied, while Aponia walked out with her head down in shame.

She never imagined that one day she would be doing that kind of thing with a man in a sacred church.

A little boy carrying a ball walked towards Aponia and Jojo, looking at Aponia with curiosity: "Aponia's mom, what are you and Jojo's dad playing in the church?"

Upon hearing this, Aponia bent down, hugged her skirt to her knees, and smiled with a complicated expression as she stroked the boy's head: "Father Jojo and I were just working."

Qiaoqiao took two candies out of her pocket and handed them to the boy, putting her hand to her lips and saying, "Here's some candy, go play somewhere else for a bit."

"Ah."

When the child saw that Qiaoqiao had given him candy, he was overjoyed and ran off happily after taking the candy.

[Congratulations, host, you have received 500 crystals and one chance to 'duplicate an item'.]

Qiao Qiao checked the number of times he could copy items, which showed four. This meant that he could immediately copy four bottles of anti-Honkai serum.

How many bottles of anti-Honkai serum are you going to give to Aponia...?

Option 1: Give it all to her.

Option 2: Give her a bottle.

Jojo chose the second option; he planned to slowly fleece Aponia using these anti-Honkai serums.

If I give her all the serum so quickly, and she's unwilling to continue trading with me, then I'll lose both the serum and the benefits.

A faint light flashed, and a bottle of blue anti-Honkai serum appeared in Qiao Qiao's palm.

"This is your payment for tonight."

Aponia carefully took the serum from Jojo's hand, a slight smile curving her lips. Although what Jojo had done was incredibly humiliating and immoral, the thought that a child in her hospital would be treated filled her with immense joy.

She raised her ethereal blue eyes to look at Qiaoqiao, and embraced the serum, saying, "I will not thank you for what you have given me, because your actions have deviated from morality. But I hope you can repent and turn back from your misguided path... If you continue to do evil, you will die sooner or later."

Aponia possesses an extremely special ability from birth; her words can always easily persuade others.

That's why she used to rely on this ability to persuade many people to donate supplies to the nursing home, and the most generous person among them was none other than...Jojo.

In the past, Qiao Qiao was indeed deeply influenced by her abilities and obeyed her every whim, but now, for some reason, he is completely unaffected by her abilities.

Instead, he had caught her red-handed and she had no choice but to obey him.

Besides her ability to 'persuade', Aponia can also see the threads of fate, and to some extent foresee a person's future. In her eyes, Jojo's threads are slowly disappearing, which foreshadows his death.

Jojo didn't care about her own death at all.

He was very aware of the villainous role he played.

In the end, they'll all be killed by main characters like Sirin, Fu Hua, and Aponia anyway.

How about... taking advantage of them for rewards first, and then dying meaningfully at the end to make up for what I owe these heroines?

Ideally, they should remember Qiao Qiao forever in the corner of their hearts, then his death would have been worthwhile.

“I don’t care about my own life, nor do I care about anyone else’s,” Jojo said coldly. “I only care about you, Aponia.”

Jojo looked at Aponia with tender eyes: "As long as I can be with you, even if only for a while, I'd be willing to die..."

Aponia felt no emotion whatsoever at Jojo's confession. No matter how high-sounding his words were, no matter how deep his love for her was, his actions completely trampled on Aponia's dignity.

Their relationship can only be a transaction; there is no other possibility.

Aponia coldly shook her head and said, "Jojo, you have committed an immeasurably grave sin, and I can never forgive you, even if I die."

"Really?" Qiao Qiao said happily, "You'll remember me even if you die! I'm so happy!"

“…” Aponia stared at Jojo speechlessly: “You’re a lunatic.”

After you left the sanatorium, a group of men in suits secretly followed you.
