When her parents were killed while doing business, Yu Qiao suddenly heard the devastating news and fell down. Suddenly, she could hear a "System" and game "panels" and "options" appeared out of thin air before her.
She thought her family had been taken over by evil forces, and spent all day looking over her shoulder. She even nearly got herself killed because of the options...
It wasn't until a "version update" that she learned the thing controlling her family was a game called [Real Family Simulator].
This lousy simulator has a giant rat AI that sets family rules and forces the clan members to complete missions. It also triggers options whenever certain keywords come up, forcibly "possessing" and controlling her. As a result, Yu Qiao is often not in control of herself. She has to match wits with local enemies while figuring out how to resist the simulator, living through one crisis after another.
But little by little, she realizes this simulator might actually have something going for it!
She exploits loopholes in the rules, uses the simulator's system to rake in all the mission rewards, and levels up by riding the simulator's coattails. She even sneaks a look at the players' forum to study their preferences, and somehow becomes someone the players can't bear to give up.
If she can't get rid of this simulator, she might as well use it as a tool for now.
Once she has dealt with the local enemies and wrung the simulator dry, she'll find a chance to send it back exactly as it came!
One day, a popular post appeared on the forum: Help! I think one of my clan members has awakened. Her influence is all over the family's development.
Other players chimed in: Obviously you need to spend money to support her!
Reader's Guide:
1. With the simulator around, the heroine has no romantic intentions and there is no CP, though someone may have a one-sided crush on her.
2. Focused on growth, with a slow start. Volume One tells a story and isn't pure wish fulfillment; it gets a little heavy. Starting in Volume Two, it becomes a management and leveling story. The protagonist starts out as a frail spellcaster and later becomes proficient with two blades, skilled in both magic and martial arts.
3. The simulator is a real game, developed by Giant Rat Technology, and works somewhat like a higher-dimensional world controlling a lower-dimensional one. At first, the simulator sets the pace for the heroine; later, she sets the pace for it.
4. It starts as an ordinary family simulator, but later explores the deeper worldbuilding, including cultivation. The simulator will be upgraded.
5. Because the simulator exists, the plot sometimes goes in rather abstract directions.
6. This is a fictional setting with no real-world allusions. Everything serves the story.
7. More details are in the author's note at the end of Chapter One.
A long-form novel.
Theme: Live a life that shines in your own way
It's tragic. It's because the mentally retarded simulator dragged the player into trouble, right? If the heroine were to operate it, the two could at least cooperate with each other, but when the player operates it, it is almost like being blind and dumb. There is basically no concept of a team. What's worse is that the version has not been updated. The player can't even understand the existence of teammates and opponents, and a rare helper is wasted. [Anger]
As for the Yu family, it's normal to have ghost-like attacks occasionally~
It made me laugh so hard. It gave Zhang Liu a little shock.
No one is willing to argue with these people who have just tied up the painting fairy and are in a bad mood. This is the principle of compromise for the happy, hahahaha
Gee, the simulator is really useful as an auxiliary tool~
By creating events and guiding the simulator to successfully publish tasks, the woodcutter now knows how to turn his back on customers~
All of them are earned by players through hard work watching ads.
Because the method of cutting and painting the Immortal Cult is too rough, I kindly want to teach the heroine [Let me be healthy]
Ah? Hahahahahaha
The players and the system are the ones who should be responsible. When Lu Yijing is lured out, you will lose your freedom of movement~ [Helpless]
