I have a life simulator.

2. Richer story CGs, branching storylines, and presentations.

3. Players can now freely choose whether to add fixed talents before each simulation to prevent them from conflicting with the initial talents they draw and to improve their performance.

4. The achievement system has been optimized, with more diverse achievements added for players to unlock.

5. Fixed a few bugs.

The update will take place from 7 PM on June 5th to 7 AM on June 6th. Players will be unable to log in during this period.

"They're moving pretty fast... It seems the development team is quite invested in this game."

Liang could sense the sincerity of the 'Strength First' studio with just a glance. It seemed that her suggestion was quite effective. She checked the time; it was already 6:50 p.m. on the 5th. With a bit of anticipation for the update, Liang chose to exit the virtual space.

After Liang's figure disappeared into this white space, the announcement with one view count also quickly turned into particles of light and vanished, as if it had never existed.

【Life Restart Simulator】

Each time a life simulation is conducted, five talents will be randomly selected. Talent levels are divided into five tiers: white, green, blue, purple, and gold. After each simulation, players can choose one talent to solidify and retain for the next simulation.

Please note that each chapter can be simulated a maximum of five times. The game is lost after five failed simulations.

Upon successfully completing each chapter, players permanently gain all the talents acquired at the time of completion and can use them in the simulation of the next chapter.

[A mystery prize will be awarded upon completion of all chapters.]

Enjoy the game!

In the dazzling starry sky, line after line of subtitles appeared before Liang's eyes.

Looking at the main UI alone, it doesn't seem to be much different from before the update. Liang gently touched the unlocked second chapter, and the UI with the white border still fragmented and then reassembled:

Chapter: Karuizawa Megumi's Autumn Lies

"Karuizawa Megumi..."

Liang looked at the name and sighed with a headache.

I originally thought that Honami Ichinose in the first chapter was already a problem child, but she was no match for Kei Karuizawa. Ryo had already tried to contact Kei Karuizawa twice, but he still couldn't get a good result for her.

Unlike his simple feelings of heartache for Honami Ichinose, Ryo always harbored a complex attitude towards the character of Kei Karuizawa, a feeling he couldn't quite explain.

Please name your character.

[The player chose to name themselves Kitagawa Ryo]

[Named]

The second simulation of Chapter Two will follow.

Seven talents have been selected for the player, as follows:

[Grand Master (Gold): You have reached the level of Grandmaster in the field of chess (only in chess)]

"I drew it using a temporary talent card in the third simulation... It's very strong, but it requires specific circumstances."

"But being the first to withdraw gold is still a good start."

[Orator (Purple): You possess exceptional eloquence and public speaking skills (combined with strong personal charisma, you achieve twice the results with half the effort)]

“A remarkable talent, perfectly complementing the phrase ‘universal admiration’.”

[Awesome Without Angry (Purple): You possess a powerful personal aura (highly effective against those with weak wills)]

"This talent is actually pretty good..."

[Performance Master (Purple): You are a natural performer, capable of controlling every subtle facial expression and small movement (become an actor)]

"Talent is an asset, but now I get a headache just looking at the word 'actor'."

[Extensive Reading (Blue): You have read a great many books (beauty is found in books)]

"There are no talents that particularly need to be refreshed so far."

[Narcissus (Green): You're a bit narcissistic (you always carry a small mirror with you, and you look beautiful today too)]

"No matter how rubbish the last one is, I'll still delete this one..."

[Photography enthusiast (green): You are relatively proficient at using a camera (just proficient)]

"OK, I've decided to delete the daffodils."

[Use Talent Refresh Card (Gold)?]

Please select the talent you wish to refresh.

The talent "Narcissus (Green)" has been refreshed.

[Super Detective (Gold): Insight, comprehensive thinking, macro-level understanding... You possess all the excellent qualities of a super detective. Go and challenge Sherlock Holmes! (Unfortunately, this is no longer the 19th century.)]

"...She seems to have a decent talent, but high school detectives only exist in manga, right?"

Please select a fixed talent.

Unlike the previous simulations, this time Liang had the ability to choose which fixed talents to bring into the simulation.

Currently, the player possesses eight fixed talents: Childhood Sweetheart (Gold), Unforgettable Love (Gold), Perseverance (Gold), Adorable (Purple), Pet Owner (Purple), Fighter (Purple), Some Assets (Blue), and Close Friend (Green)

"I have two options now. One is to do what I did before and bring all the talents here. The advantage is that these talents are not weak and should give me a lot of support, but there are too many variables."

"Another option is to remove all related variables and return to the original gameplay, using only the initial talents to complete the game. The advantage is that the mission will not be disrupted by various variables like last time, but the disadvantage is that it is not very adaptable."

Liang pondered as he selected the talents.

"Those who are persistent, universally admired, big cat owners, fighters, or have some assets can all be included first."

"The problem now is the remaining three."

"Childhood sweethearts, unforgettable friends, and close confidants."

"The least variable is the close friend, because it will only spawn same-sex friends. However, it can be a bit troublesome if combined with other talents. For example, in the last simulation, I had to contact Horikita Suzune because of Horikita Manabu."

"The previous two simulations have proven that the two are inevitably linked. In fact, it was the talent of 'Unforgettable' that led to the emergence of 'Childhood Sweetheart,' since this thing used to be called 'A Promise Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold.'"

After hesitating for a moment, I first ticked my close friends.

"Bring them all, bring one, or bring none..."

Suddenly, a detail from the last simulation came to mind, and Liang instantly had an idea:

"Think carefully about Karuizawa Megumi's behavior logic. The childhood sweetheart who suddenly appears in this chapter is actually a negative buff. This experience of being briefly saved and then leaving will only make Karuizawa Megumi become twisted... Yes, we can't bring this into it."

"But if I didn't bring this, Karuizawa Megumi and I would most likely be strangers."

"Give it a try, it's only the second simulation anyway."

Liang made a decision and selected the talent of "Unforgettable".

[Unforgettable (Gold): You possess an extremely mysterious past, but you can't remember much of it anymore, as if your past memories have been magically erased.]

"Let's take a gamble and see if we can uncover any past events related to Karuizawa Kei."

[Talent selection complete. The effect of the item "Ichinose Honami's Self" has been activated, randomly drawing talents for upgrade.]

The "Intimate Friend" (green) relationship has been upgraded to "Mutual Affection" (blue).

[Mutual Understanding (Blue): You have a close friend (of the same sex) with whom you can talk about anything]

[A talented photography enthusiast (green) has been upgraded to a photography expert (blue)]

[Photography Expert (Blue): Your shooting skills are superb, already at a professional level (you always find good angles to shoot)]

[The talented performance master (purple) has been upgraded to the con artist (gold)]

[The Conman (Gold): You are a born conman, controlling yourself and manipulating others (despite being a conman, you easily gain the trust of others)]

[Player has completed talent selection]

[Unforgettable (Gold), Perseverance (Gold), Grand Master (Gold), The Conman (Gold), Super Detective (Gold)]

[Orator (purple), Imposing Without Angryness (purple), Doting Pet Owner (purple), Adorable to All (purple), Fighter (purple)]

[Well-read (blue), Some assets (blue), Like-minded (blue), Photography expert (blue)]

"Not even having green talents—that's quite a powerful talent set."

[Chapter 2 Completion Objective: Find and correct Karuizawa Megumi's personality weaknesses until she can survive independently at Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School]

【Simulation starts】

-------------------------------------

April, Tokyo Higher Ikusei Junior High School.

Some of the cherry blossoms have already begun to bloom, as if announcing the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

The petals danced in the sky like pink snowflakes, falling gently like rain in the April breeze.

The shadows of the trees swayed, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns as a boy in a red uniform walked toward the school gate.

"Although I've heard it many times in previous simulations..."

Kitagawa Ryo looked up at the school gate, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"But this is my first time actually being here."

"I don't know which class Hui is in."

The boy checked his class assignment again:

"Class C, Year 1?"

[First Grade: This is your first grade, we look forward to seeing how you do!]

Chapter Two: Why don't you two come at me together?

Tokyo Advanced Educational High School, a background school mentioned in all four mock exams, is renowned in Tokyo for its near-perfect college entrance and employment rates.

This state-run school provides thorough guidance and is committed to supporting students in achieving their future dreams.

In fact, the school has done extensive publicity about this. Many graduates have become famous because of their alma mater. Usually, even the most prestigious and excellent schools have a limited number of academic specializations. Students might specialize in sports, music, or computer-related fields. But here, regardless of your chosen field, you can achieve your goals.

"Is that why we're always being criticized for taking up too many public resources...?"

Kitagawa Ryo observed the freshmen of the same grade entering the school gate. They all had beautiful smiles on their faces, looking forward to the future. It seemed that they felt that they had been enrolled, or in other words, had become recognized. As long as they could get through the school peacefully until graduation, they could live the life they had always dreamed of.

"The student body doesn't seem to be that outstanding, or is the school confident in turning these seemingly less-than-perfect students into social elites?"

With just a glance, Kitagawa Ryo spotted two freshmen who looked like thugs. He had had quite a bit of contact with this kind of group when he was in junior high school, so even though they were wearing the nice uniforms issued by the school, he could still tell from their words and subtle gestures that a considerable number of the freshmen were definitely not the kind of "good students" that the public would think of.

Although I had the experience of entering the school in the last simulation, it was basically just a fragmented flashback, and I can't remember anything about it...

"But this school is probably not that simple. Keep that in mind before you act."

Kitagawa Ryo took out his indoor shoes from the shoe cabinet and changed into them. During this process, he counted the number of shoe cabinets. There were a total of 160, which meant that there were 160 first-year students and 40 students in each class. The scale was neither too big nor too small.

Finding their class, Class 1-C, they saw that everyone's seats had already been assigned on the blackboard. Nearly two-thirds of the students were already seated, but because they didn't know each other, they were all keeping to themselves in silence. When Kitagawa Ryo entered, he merely glanced up at her.

Kitagawa Ryo glanced at the blackboard and noticed two familiar names. His lips twitched slightly. He took his schoolbag and walked to the back left seat by the window. He put down his schoolbag and casually pulled out a book to kill some time before the teacher arrived.

About five minutes later, just as Kitagawa Ryo was getting into the story, he suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be watching him.

The previously empty seat in front of her was now occupied by a young girl. Her long, beautiful, silver-white hair flowed smoothly across her forehead, revealing her purple eyes. Because they were so close, Kitagawa Ryo could even see his own reflection in her pupils.

"Wuthering Heights, is that what you want to see?"

Kitagawa Ryo raised the spine of the book to her.

"I want to see you."

Hiyori Shiina's voice is soft and gentle, and it sounds a bit lower than her voice in the previous video. Therefore, when she says such straightforward things that might make others think inappropriately, it doesn't have a seductive quality. She is simply expressing her thoughts.

"turn down."

Kitagawa Ryo gently touched the girl's forehead with the spine of the book:
