Genshin Impact Villain Simulator, Becoming Their Public Enemy

Volume 1 Chapter 3: I’ll Hit Girls if I Have To!

Another set of villainous choices?

Joining in bullying Keqing? Seriously? When I was eight, even teaming up with a group of thugs, we could barely hold our own against young Keqing. Now that she’s been training for years, she’d probably wipe the floor with us.

Plus, bullying a girl alongside other boys is one thing. But bullying a girl with other girls? If I did that, I’d lose all credibility in school.

“I choose the third option.”

[You stepped forward and pushed the girls aside, arrogantly saying, “Get lost! Don’t you know that only I can bully her in this school?”]

 [Since you are the school bully, the girls didn’t dare to mess with you. They muttered a few words before leaving. The leader, a pretty girl named Xiao Wan, gave you both a complex look before leaving, but you didn’t pay any attention.]

Hey! Pay attention to that!

A character who looks like a villainess from a shoujo manga shouldn’t just be brushed off like that!

[You reached out to help Keqing up from the ground, but she suddenly slapped your hand away. Tears streaming down her face, she yelled hysterically, “Stop pretending to be kind! Do you think I’ll forgive you for this? Never! The reason I’m in this situation is all because of you! I hate you! I’ll hate you forever!”]

Even though these were just words on a screen, Li Xingshan felt like he could actually hear the girl’s curse.

She was right. No matter what I did, the root cause of Keqing’s isolation and bullying was that punch from years ago.

If it weren’t for that incident, with her talent and personality, Keqing would’ve undoubtedly become a well-liked, outstanding student.

Even though Li Xingshan and Keqing had formed some kind of twisted friendship, it didn’t change the fact that I had been a jerk from the start, and Keqing had always despised me.

[After saying those words, Keqing ran away, covering her face. In her haste, she left one of her shoes behind. Your choices are:] 

[1. Chase after her to return her shoe] 

[2. Keep Keqing’s shoe] 

[3. Do something inappropriate with Keqing’s shoe]

Damn it!

The first two options are understandable, but the third one? That’s not just being a villain; that’s being a full-blown hentai!

Of course, these choices put Li Xingshan in quite a dilemma.

The first option is out. The reason is simple: I’m supposed to be playing the bad guy here. If I pick that one, it feels like it’s heading towards redeeming myself.

As for the third option… Li Xingshan is very curious about what kind of “reward” this choice might bring, but he feels it might steer the whole plot in a very weird direction.

“Keep Keqing’s shoe.”

[You did nothing and simply took Keqing’s shoe.] 

[Reward obtained: Keqing’s shoe ×1 (The reward can be claimed after the simulated life ends.)]

What’s the use of this reward, anyway?

[The next day, as you entered the school, you noticed everyone looking at you with strange eyes. You were surprised to see the school’s bulletin board and many other places plastered with photos of Keqing feeding you lunch on the rooftop. Alongside the photos were derogatory words like “slut” and “shameless.”] 

[A sense of foreboding filled your heart. Returning to the classroom, you found Xiao Wan and her group of girls bullying Keqing again. Xiao Wan held those photos, sneering, “Everyone look at this little slut’s fawning face. It’s disgusting! Who knows what indecent things they do on the rooftop every day!”] 

[Keqing just kept her head down, wiping her tears. Faced with this situation, your choices are:] 

[1. Kick Keqing while she’s down.] 

[2. Beat up the girls bullying Keqing.] 

[3. Stay silent and act like you didn’t see anything.]

Damn it! My blood pressure is rising!

Wait… Li Xingshan suddenly realized something important. If bullying Keqing counts as “doing evil,” then wouldn’t beating up these girls also count as “doing evil”?

Yeah, the system only specifies that you need to commit evil acts. It doesn’t specify who the target should be.

With that thought, a mischievous smile appeared on Li Xingshan’s face. He said word by word:

“Beat up those girls who are bullying Keqing!”

[Without a second thought, you raised your fist. For some reason, despite never having trained in martial arts, the technique “Facebreaker” suddenly came to mind. With a powerful punch, you smashed Xiao Wan’s pretty but vicious face, making her bleed profusely.] 

[Reward obtained: D-grade blind box ×5 (The reward can be claimed after the simulated life ends.)]

Sure enough, hitting girls counts as doing evil.

[Your actions stunned the girls bullying Keqing. One of them questioned, “You’re a boy, how can you hit girls?” Your response is…] 

[1. Because I have no manners.] 

[2. Do I need a reason to hit you?] 

[3. Are girls more precious than boys? I’ll hit girls if I have to!]

Honestly, violence isn’t the right way to solve problems, but it sure is satisfying sometimes!

“Are girls more precious than boys? I’ll hit girls if I have to!”

[Reward obtained: D-grade blind box ×3 (The reward can be claimed after the simulated life ends.)] 

[Not only did you ignore her, but you also taunted, “Are girls more precious than boys? I’ll hit girls if I have to!” 

The boys who usually followed you joined the “battle,” turning the classroom into a chaotic brawl. Even Keqing, who had been suppressed for so long, seemed to be provoked and started fighting back against the girls who had bullied her.] 

[This one-sided fight ended with your victory, but it had severe consequences. All of you involved, including yourself, received serious warnings and were suspended for a month.]

[As a rich and spoiled brat, you didn’t care about the suspension and spent a month playing at home. However, upon returning to school, you found out that Keqing had withdrawn.] 

[It turns out that according to Xiao Wan and the others’ testimonies, they blamed Keqing as the mastermind of the incident. Coupled with the negative impact of those photos, Keqing had to withdraw from school. Not only that, but her family also suffered and soon moved away from Liyue.]
