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

Chojo felt a little strange about choosing to be a magical girl, and the game had a particularly absurd bug.

Players who play as the magical girl Kallen will be in trouble if they encounter a tentacle monster in a special area. They will definitely be humiliated first, then completely ruined, and then the game will end.

However... what JoJo found utterly baffling was that almost none of the girls at St. Freya Academy chose the blonde priest; they all chose the magical girl Kallen. And when facing the tentacle monster, even knowing they were destined to lose, they still enthusiastically challenged it, only to be repeatedly "trained" by its tentacles until the game ended, then re-entering the game to battle the tentacles again...

This process continues indefinitely.

Strangely enough, Kallen Fantasy VII is not only popular in St. Freya, but also among the Valkyries of Schicksal.

Qiaoqiao was truly impressed by their perseverance and constant challenges; they were indeed destined warriors fighting for humanity.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to endure that kind of humiliation of being disciplined, but...maybe someone might actually like that feeling?

In "Kallen Fantasy VII", Jojo battled zombies, dragons, trolls and other monsters one after another and easily defeated them. In his opinion, the realism of this so-called VR game is no match for the villain life simulator. The monsters' movements may seem extremely realistic to others and difficult to deal with, but in Jojo's opinion, who has played the life simulator, their movements are full of loopholes and can be easily dodged.

In addition to the action content, this game also features a very free-form storyline involving male and female interactions, much like a visual novel where you can fall in love with someone of the opposite sex. Moreover, the ending will change depending on the route each player chooses, the dialogue they input, and their actions.

If one hundred people play "Kallen Fantasy VII", there will be one hundred different endings.

For example, choosing the priest as the stunning beauty allows you to win over Kallen. If your affection level is low, she will give you the "friend card," and you will lose the game. However, if your affection level is high enough, you might even get some delightful bonus CGs.

Having learned from Otto's experience in the Villain Life Simulator, Jojo didn't fawn over Karen like a simp. Instead, she deliberately kept her distance, occasionally helping her with small favors and making sarcastic remarks.

At first, Qiao Qiao didn't expect to gain Kallen's favor in this way, but unexpectedly, Kallen in the game actually fell for this.

Their affection for each other increased through the gentle rubbing of their lips and their mutual gazing at each other.

Soon, Jojo married Karen, becoming the first and only person on the entire server to unlock the special story CG.

His ranking in the game also successfully surpassed that of "My Wife is Karen!", who was ranked second.

Upon learning that his real-time ranking in "Kallen Fantasy VII" had been overtaken by someone else, and that the other person had even unlocked a special CG scene where they were having sex in a room with Kallen, Otto felt the burden on his head had become even heavier.

Why?! I invested a huge amount of money in developing this game, yet I can only get the "Friend Card" ending, while you can get the ending where you and Kallen are deeply in love!

"No! I absolutely cannot let this happen!"

Not long after, Qiaoqiao was forcibly logged off in the game and received an email saying that his account had been permanently banned.

Qiaoqiao's head was full of question marks. It's just a game, are you so bad at playing?

Jojo tossed the VR glasses aside, somewhat disappointed. Bronya, who was next to him, heard the noise and immediately took off her VR glasses.

After Qiaoqiao's account was banned, the dungeon that was originally a group run became a solo run for her. Although she tried her best to maneuver and kite, she still died under the flames of the fire dragon.

A large Chinese character appeared on the screen: 菜 (cài).

"Jojo, it's all your fault! You made Bronya lose the game, you unforgivable traitor!"

A cold glint flashed in Bronya's icy eyes: "Traitors should be punished!"

On the surface, Bronya is the Valkyrie of Destiny, but in reality, she is a Stand user. The outline of a heavy mecha can be vaguely seen behind her, which makes JoJo swallow hard. If the two of them were to fight here, they would definitely tear Himeko's house down.

Jojo didn't want to sleep on the streets, nor did she want Himeko to lose the house she had saved up for years like Kojima Bakuya. So she gave Bronya a French military salute and said calmly, "I am very sorry, Your Majesty Queen Bronya. I am willing to accept any punishment. Please forgive my mistake."

JoJo's sincere apology instantly dissipated Bronya's anger over losing the game, and her expression softened slightly. She lowered the cannon, and the Heavy Bunny slowly quantized and disappeared. She reached out and stroked JoJo's handsome face, saying expressionlessly, "Since you've apologized, and Bronya isn't some kind of devil, I'll let you off this time."

Seeing that Bronya wasn't asking him to do anything, Jojo was unhappy. He wasn't just trying to curry favor with Bronya for no reason; he was waiting to help her out and use the Good Deeds System to get rewards from her.

Jojo then whispered affectionately in Bronya's ear, "You don't have to be so polite with me. You can come to me with any difficulties you have. I can do anything for you."

Bronya didn't find it strange at all when Jojo was so eager to help, after all, he was practically the epitome of a "good guy" in St. Freya.

Despite Jojo's kindness, Bronya's heart was wavering and uneasy. In fact, she had recently been trying to make a dating game, but she hadn't shown it to anyone yet. However, deep down, she still really wanted people to see her work.

But...should I trust Qiaoqiao?

Bronya looked up at Jojo's handsome and refined expression, and in the end chose to believe him, after all, Jojo could be said to be the most reliable person in the entire St. Freya.

"In that case, come to my room at three o'clock tonight. Don't let anyone know. I have something important to show you."

Chapter 73 Jojo and Bronya's "Father-Daughter" Relationship

In the middle of the night, Jojo, carrying a bag of lunch, entered the password on Bronya's room keypad as usual.

In Himeko's house, all the other rooms had ordinary household door locks, but Bronya, who liked to tinker with various technologies, installed a combination lock on herself. Even Himeko, the owner of the house, wouldn't let her in. Only Jojo, who frequently entered and exited her room, knew the password.

The reason why JoJo knew the password was simple: Bronya was a hardcore gamer, a homebody who often skipped classes, didn't eat, and stayed up all night playing games. JoJo was like her caretaker, bringing her tea, meals, and notes every day.

Even if Bronya is cute, anyone else would definitely not be able to stand taking care of her like this every day.

But Jojo is different. He can get rewards as long as he helps and takes care of the girls around him, so he always stays by Bronya's side and raises her like his own daughter.

All the Valkyries at St. Freya Academy know that Jojo and Bronya are not only classmates but also live under the same roof, and their relationship is extraordinary.

According to Jojo, his relationship with Bronya was neither like that of friends nor lovers, but more like... father and daughter.

Qiaoqiao pushed open the door and entered the room. The room was dark, with no lights on, except for the light from the corridor.

In the cluttered room, a petite and pretty girl held a game controller in her hand. Her silver curly hair was tied with a pretty black bow, her smooth skin was sickly pale, her eyes were as clear and bright as a lake, and she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, making her look very tired.

Bronya repeatedly pressed the controller buttons to fight the boss guarding the level, but in the end, she was pierced through the chest by the boss's sword.

A large "菜" (cause/food) character appeared on the screen.

In the three days since the release of the game "King of Elden", she has been challenging this boss for seventy-two hours without sleep, but she still couldn't defeat him. Even though she lost, she still enjoyed challenging him repeatedly. She was obviously bad at the game, but she just loved playing it.

Jojo handed the bento she had brought to Bronya, and the Ural silver wolf, who had been starving for three days and three nights, instantly transformed into a hungry wolf, snatching the bento from Jojo's hand and focusing intently on eating.

"Qiaoqiao, thank goodness you arrived in time, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me."

[The host has successfully fed Bronya and received 100 crystals.]

Watching Bronya wolf down her food, Jojo picked up the clothes scattered on the floor and sighed with a troubled expression, "Bronya, how will you live if I'm not around?"

Although Jojo was happy to help Bronya collect crystals, if things continued like this, Bronya would really become a socially useless person who couldn't live without her.

Even Jojo didn't want Bronya to fall into depravity.

Bronya did look up at Jojo expressionlessly, a faint emotion flickering in her eyes: "Then as long as Jojo doesn't leave Bronya and stays by her side to take care of her, that's fine."

Hearing Bronya say she didn't want to be separated from her, Jojo felt a mix of emotions and said with a complicated expression, "I'm not your father, I can't take care of you forever."

Bronya, clutching a yellow Houmu plush toy, muttered to Jojo, "I don't want Jojo to be Bronya's dad..."

“That would be best.” Jojo ignored Bronya’s deliberately lowered tone and continued, “I don’t want a daughter who is about the same age as me either.”

Then, Qiaoqiao glanced at the BOSS monster on the TV screen and smiled slightly: "Bronya, you should get some rest. I'll take care of this monster for you."

When Bronya heard Jojo say he was going to beat the game himself, she thought he was just bragging. The game had only been out for three days, and no player in the world had been able to defeat the boss yet. Otherwise, Bronya wouldn't have stayed up all night to get the first kill.

“Jojo, I know you’ve learned a lot of weird skills to help others…” Bronya looked at Jojo with suspicion: “But this game is very difficult, you can’t defeat this boss.”

"That's not necessarily true..."

Jojo confidently took the game controller, as if she had predicted all of the boss's actions in advance.

Despite having never played this game before, they were able to easily come up with textbook-level strategies.

In just three minutes, Qiaoqiao defeated the boss of this level, becoming the first player in the world to clear the dungeon.

Bronya, standing beside Jojo, watched with a glimmer of amazement in her eyes. She couldn't help but grab Jojo and say, "Jojo, how did you do that?! How were you able to kill the final boss within three days of the game's release...? That's impossible...Are you a test server player?!"

Faced with Bronya's surprised question, Jojo gave an ambiguous look. The reason he was able to kill this boss was simple: although the game had only been released for less than three days in the Honkai world, Jojo had previously spent a whole month battling this boss. As long as it made the slightest move, Jojo could immediately know its next move, making killing it incredibly easy.

[Host, you have helped Bronya complete the game. Congratulations, you have received 50 crystals.]

What... only fifty crystals?

Jojo was surprised; he had secured the world's first kill for Bronya!

This should be a great honor for any gamer; I should at least get 100 crystals!

Although Jojo helped Bronya get the world's first kill, her already exhausted face seemed to look even worse. She snatched the controller from Jojo's hand: "I don't need you to help me beat the game. I want to start playing again myself."

Seeing Bronya's serious expression, JoJo smiled slightly. It seemed that Bronya didn't want to get the world's first kill with JoJo's help, but preferred to defeat the boss through her own efforts.

"Now that the boss has been defeated, what exactly do you want from me coming to your room so late tonight?"

Hearing Jojo's words, Bronya lowered her head shyly. For a beginner, showing others the game she had made was as shameful as taking off her clothes to show others.

“Jojo, Bronya knows you’re an experienced player…” Bronya put down the controller, her eyes gleaming as she looked at Jojo: “Bronya hopes you can take a look at the game I made and give me some feedback.”

"Of course, no problem..."

Jojo never refused Bronya's requests and readily agreed.

"So...where is the game?"

As she spoke, Bronya opened a software program hidden within the study files.

When Qiaoqiao first saw the game's homepage, her eyes lit up. Although VR games were already quite common in this world, and the difficulty of creating games for platforms like PC, PS, or Switch, like Bronya's, had been greatly reduced, Qiaoqiao couldn't help but marvel at how Bronya had managed to do this on her first try. She was indeed a computer genius, no wonder she would become a game producer in the future.

Jojo entered the game with great enthusiasm, but his enthusiasm quickly faded. Although Bronya had done a great job with the game's interface and the art resources could be obtained entirely with money, and the beautiful girls were drawn so well, it was quite a sight.

However... as a dating sim, its plot is a complete mess. The male lead is practically nonexistent; his presence or absence has absolutely no impact on the plot. The various female leads interact with him in front of him as the story unfolds, making him feel like a mere camera.

Although Bronya is making a dating sim, she seems completely unable to consider the male perspective.

To put it simply, boys who play dating games want to date all sorts of beautiful girls, solve crises, save the world, and reach the pinnacle of life.

But you're treating the male lead like a camera, how can that be acceptable?

Bronya may become an excellent game producer in the future, but she is still a bit inexperienced now. After completing the first route, Jojo discovered that the heroine he had been pursuing for a long time had died without any warning... He immediately felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest.

This swordsmanship... Old Gen had to admit it was expert!

Chapter 74 The Fourth Simulation on Bronya's Bed (4k)

Jojo played Bronya's debut game with great seriousness. To be fair, as a genius hacker, her game was indeed technically advanced, with impressive special effects, animations, and map design.

However, the plot is indeed a major flaw. If you're even trying to make a dating sim, you might as well give up and go to sleep. Just make those computer ads featuring the Classic of Mountains and Seas where characters devour and evolve, or the Legend of Mir where you fight for the city every day. It's easier and more profitable. Wouldn't that be better?

Jojo turned her gaze from the TV screen to Bronya and said, "Bronya...have you never been in a relationship before?"

Bronya's current age would be the age of a middle or high school student for an average girl, an age when she should be doing homework every day, and she would have no experience in interacting with the opposite sex.

Jojo's words seemed to strike a nerve with Bronya, leaving her bewildered and lowering her head, murmuring softly, "Although Bronya has never been in a relationship..."

Bronya suddenly looked up halfway through her sentence, her voice rising a few decibels: "...But Bronya has read many romance novels borrowed from Mei, so she has a wealth of knowledge."

Logically speaking, whether an author can write vivid and interesting romantic plots has no necessary connection with whether or not they have ever been in a relationship.

After all, not every romance will be what readers expect. Perhaps the stories written by people who have never been in a relationship are more in line with people's ideal expectations.
