Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Fontaine, Teyvat.

Fontaine, the land of a thousand lakes, a city-state surrounded by water, a symbol of elegance and progress. But at this moment, a young man sprawled at the railroad station has a different opinion.

"It hurts. It hurts so much."

Thanks to the great god of dump trucks, after achieving seven gold items in ten consecutive runs, Comrade Mu Feng naturally followed in the footsteps of the transmigrators and began his Teyvat journey.

However, many of the earlier time travelers seemed to have overlooked the most important point to remind later generations before writing their legends of love for Teyvat—

"So why don't time travelers have Mora?!"

As Mu Feng lay sprawled under the sunshade of the patrol ship station, pondering the meaning of time travel, he couldn't help but recall the millions and tens of millions of Mora in his game inventory. He touched his empty pockets and shed tears of regret.

Young and naive, he mistook the Mora for a treasure. Teyvat truly gave Mu Feng, this newly arrived explorer, a rude awakening that stumped even a hero.

So, Mu Feng, who was just a second ago thinking about punching Morax, kicking Balzeb, holding Fu in his left hand and Tao in his right, and thus reaching the pinnacle of life, had to face the predicament of becoming the first transmigrator in history to start his life as a beggar on the streets of Fontainebleau.

Just as Mu Feng was about to utter a famous line about fortunes changing and never underestimating a young man's potential, a clear "ding" sounded in his mind and instantly sprang to his senses. He performed a dramatic sit-up on the spot at the patrol ship station, a perfect carp-like leap that even impressed the residents of Fontaine, who were transformed from pure water spirits.

At this moment, Mu Feng had no time to pay attention to the astonished looks of the surrounding Fengdan residents; he was almost so excited that he burst into song on the spot.

It's here! It's here! The system, a standard accessory for transmigrators, is making its way here with tiny steps!

Resurrect, my system!

Amidst Mu Feng's eager anticipation, the system, though late, finally finished loading, allowing the boy whose dreams had been shattered to pick up the dream he had just given up two minutes earlier. The era of the Dragon King's breath attack is over; now it's my turn, Mu's!

[Ding! Loading complete. The Life Simulation System is at your service!]

[Current number of simulation attempts: 1]

[Talent: None]

[Note: The host can extract talents for simulation. Talent levels are marked as gold, purple, blue, green, and white in that order. The host will receive rewards and retain their talents based on the simulation evaluation.]

To ensure a smooth user experience, the host's memories related to the system will be blocked during the simulation.

[Young man, come and take the test!]

[Start simulation?]

"Ahem, of course, simulation, start!"

Please select three as your talents for this round.

The next moment, five talent options quickly appeared on the virtual panel in front of Mu Feng.

[Animal Affinity (Purple): Increases animals' friendship towards you by 50%. Perhaps this includes beast girls?]

【Culinary Mastery (Purple): You possess an exceptional natural talent for cooking; with just a little practice, you can achieve masterful skill】

[Clever Ideas (Blue): You always have ingenious ideas and possess extremely strong logical reasoning skills. Perhaps you could become a great private investigator?]

[Duozai (white): You're having a lot of bad luck. Be careful not to choke on cold water.]

[Radiant Brilliance (Green): You always attract attention, but sometimes that might not be a good thing.]

Well, a standard purple base color.

Choose [Animal Affinity], [Culinary Mastery], and [Ingenuity].

【Simulation starts】

[Consciousness scene loading...]

As the system notification sounded, Mu Feng felt the scene before him begin to distort, spin, and blur, until he regained his senses and the view suddenly cleared up, and he could faintly smell the disinfectant.

[At one year old, you were born in a small hospital room in Fontainebleau 400 years ago. Under the warm, orange light, your parents welcomed your birth with expressions of joy.]

"Aren't our children beautiful?"

"I think so, darling."

[At two years old, many birds always gathered outside your window, and every morning they would wake you with their most beautiful calls. One day, the neighbor's tabby cat slipped into your house, simply to bring you a bag of dried fish. Your parents were very surprised when they found out, but to prevent anyone from making a fuss about it, they chose to keep your unusual behavior a secret.]

At three years old, you began to toddle. Your mother, a daughter of a minor noble family, was well-educated and prepared to teach you to read and write early on. To her surprise, your learning speed and logical thinking ability far exceeded her expectations, making you a well-known child prodigy.

At five years old, you became the king of the neighborhood kids, not only because of your reputation as a child prodigy, but also because of your special "cat-loving" nature.

Within a ten-meter radius of you, you'll always be surrounded by cats and dogs, and birds like the Red-crowned Finch, the Blue-and-Grey Finch, and the Green-leaved Fantail Pigeon are frequent visitors. No child can resist the joy of being surrounded by fluffy creatures, and you naturally enjoy it too. They accompanied you through a happy childhood.

At seven years old, in your spare time, you developed a strong interest in food. Your father, Andrew, is the head chef at the Debord Hotel, an expert in various desserts and dishes, and your home is always filled with delicious food. As a foodie, you naturally had the idea of ​​becoming self-sufficient.

When your father heard about your idea, he dismissed it as a childish whim. He simply taught you how to fry an egg and assumed you would give up because of the kitchen fumes and high temperatures.

Unexpectedly, you suddenly had a brilliant idea. Based on your hazy memories of your past life, you poured a fried egg over leftover rice, added radishes and greens, and stir-fried it into a classic egg fried rice. 400 years ago, in Fontainebleau's culinary scene, which was primarily Western-style, egg fried rice was naturally unheard of. Your family was full of praise for your new invention. Thus, you naturally became the inventor of egg fried rice—the Fontaineble version—and gave it a fancy name—Golden Fried Rice.

After this, your father seemed to recognize your talent in cooking. He not only imparted all his secret recipes to you but also took you to visit renowned chefs and learn from them. You did not disappoint your father's expectations; in just five years, you rose to fame in Fontainebleau's culinary world, winning praise from many master chefs.

[At fifteen, three years later, Andrew had passed on all his knowledge to you, and it was time to give you some experience. That same year, you took over your father's culinary skills and became a pastry chef at the Debord Restaurant. Many regular customers even praised your skills, saying they surpassed your father's. Whenever you heard this, your father would always smile with pride; after all, the praise of diners is a chef's greatest honor.]

In the same year you became the chef at the Debord Hotel, a dramatic political upheaval occurred in Fontainebleau.
