Genshin Impact Villain Simulator, Becoming Their Public Enemy

Volume 1 Chapter 4: The Darkened Keqing

Keqing... has actually dropped out of school?

For some reason, upon seeing this line of text, Li Xingshan felt a sudden emptiness in his heart.

Although his intention was to stand up for Keqing, the end result led to her dropping out of school and her family being forced to leave Liyue due to the pressure. 

After all, most students at Tianquan Academy come from influential families. 

Offending so many prominent families at once made it difficult for Keqing’s family to continue living in Liyue.

At this time, Keqing was not yet one of the Liyue Qixing, the Yuheng star. 

Faced with such a situation, she could only accept her fate.

[Age 14: After Keqing left, you continued to act domineeringly at school, but somehow, it seemed less fun. To your surprise, one day, Xiao Wan confessed to you. It turned out she had always hated Keqing because of you. She liked you so much that she didn’t pursue the matter of you hitting her and instead blamed everything on Keqing.]

So that’s how it is...

No wonder this girl kept picking on Keqing.

No wonder you were only suspended for a month despite such a serious incident.

This girl must really be a masochist!

Li Xingshan finally understood why so many middle school girls were crazy about the bad boys. It seemed they were all a bit crazy themselves.

[Choices:

[1. Sorry, I already like someone else.]

[2. Want me to like you? Then be my dog.]

[3. Get lost! I hate women the most!]

Honestly, Li Xingshan had zero interest in a girl who bullied others. 

So he said, “Choose the third option.”

[You yelled at Xiao Wan, “Get lost! I hate women the most!” Xiao Wan cried and left.] 

[Reward obtained: Talent – Heavy Punch] [Effect: Increases damage dealt to the opposite sex by 20%.]

[Age 15: You graduated.]

[Age 16: You inherited the family business and started doing business.]

[Age 17: On a whim, you sent people to find out about Keqing’s whereabouts, only to learn that her family had fallen on hard times, her father had died of illness, and Keqing herself had gone missing.]

[Age 18: Using the connections you built in school and your ruthless methods, you quickly established yourself in Liyue Harbor.]

[Age 19: Many suitors approached you, but you rejected them all.]

[Age 20: Abyss Order activities in Liyue became increasingly frequent. Ningguang dispatched the Millelith to eliminate them outside the city, but they suffered heavy casualties. Survivors reported that a high-ranking officer of the Abyss Order, a mysterious woman with purple hair who appeared to be in her twenties, had emerged with exceptional swordsmanship.]

[Age 21: The Abyss Order grew even more rampant. The mysterious purple-haired officer, who wielded lightning elemental powers, killed numerous Liyue experts and was dubbed the "Thunder Fiend."]

[Age 22: Families in Liyue Harbor began to be exterminated one by one. Even Xiao Wan’s family was among them. You suddenly realized that the families being wiped out were those of the girls who had bullied Keqing back then.]

[Age 23: Fear began to grip you. You hired numerous experts as bodyguards. One day, while riding in your sedan chair, you heard the sounds of a fierce battle outside. Exiting the chair, you found your bodyguards lying dead all around. Not far away stood a familiar figure, holding a blood-stained sword and walking towards you step by step.]

[You Recognized Her]

[It was Keqing, but now her skin was marked with eerie blue lines, and one of her eyes had turned blood red. Seeing you, she smiled sinisterly, "Li Xingshan, it’s your turn..."]

[Keqing, or rather the Thunder Fiend, did not wait for you to speak. She swung her sword down, giving you no time to react. You felt the world turn upside down as your head hit the ground hard. The last thing you saw in your life was a beautiful, bloodthirsty smile.]

[Life Simulation Ends]

[Cause of Death: Killed by the darkened Keqing.]

[Overall Rating: Do not underestimate women.]

[Rewards have been sent and can be checked anytime.]

What... What the heck!

Li Xingshan was left dumbfounded by this ending. 

He hadn’t expected Keqing to turn dark after her misfortunes during her teenage years and join the Abyss Order in this life simulation. 

However, based on the game’s storyline, most members of the Abyss Order were supposed to be remnants of the fallen nation of Khaenri'ah. 

How did a proper Liyue citizen like Keqing join the Abyss Order and gain such powerful abilities?

Li Xingshan couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for now. 

Fortunately, this was just a virtual life simulation with no real-world consequences. 

Although he died young at twenty-three, the rewards were still decent.

[Please choose one of the following talents to become your inherent talent:]

[1. Infamous]

[2. Incorrigible]

[3. Another Chance]

[Inherent talents can take effect in the real world. Moreover, every time you start the life simulator, you can use one inherent talent as your initial talent.]

All three talents were purple, so there was no clear superiority. 

However, in terms of versatility, “Another Chance” seemed to be the best.

After all, this "Evil Life Simulator" was full of malice. 

A single wrong step could lead to death, making it harder than some trickiest gal games. 

Therefore, having a chance to revive during each life simulation was undoubtedly very useful.

[You have obtained the inherent talent “Another Chance.”]

[Another Chance (Purple): You can avoid one death and get another chance (usable once per simulation). In reality, the cooldown period is one month after each use.]

What!

Li Xingshan hadn’t expected this talent to be effective in reality as well. 

Moreover, it wasn’t a one-time use. 

Although a one-month cooldown wasn’t short, it was understandable for such a life-saving talent to have a longer cooldown.

As for the remaining rewards, they were a total of nine D-Class blind boxes.

D-Class Blind Box: Opening it grants D-Class rewards (3 of the same level boxes can be combined into a higher-Class box).

That’s great!

"Combine nine D-Class blind boxes into three C-Class blind boxes! Then combine them into one B-Class blind box!"

Go all in! Let’s go all in!

[Opening B-Class Blind Box...]
