It's just The Sims, how did it become my ideal love story?

Chapter 155 The Wicked Old Hag Took the Wrong Medicine (Fifth Update, Please Vote!)
Although the amount of R coins stored is by no means a huge sum, it is only a mere 540.

But the weekly store that can bring about magical changes is still something to look forward to.

The vacant spaces were filled on time, and the entire space was now filled with the soft glow of these items.

Gu Huai's consciousness was as insignificant as a grain of sand, like a moth searching for a glimmer of light, or a firefly in the vast starry sky.

Alright, now it's time to check the items.

There are six slots in the store each week, and Gu Huai has already bought five of them. The restocking mechanism ensures that the items Gu Huai didn't buy will not change their positions or undergo any other changes.

The five vacant positions were filled with replacement items.

Gu Huai can use his consciousness to access and view the corresponding effects and prices.

The newly arrived items are:
Massive Storage Bag: Usable only outside the simulated world. It can be transformed into a backpack, shoulder bag, handbag, or work bag according to the buyer's needs. Its effect is to store a massive amount of items, with a maximum capacity roughly equivalent to a 200-square-meter warehouse. To retrieve an item, simply place your hand inside the bag and mentally recall the item; it will then appear in your hand. Price: 150 R-coins.

Beginner Cooking Skill Book: This book will grant you basic cooking skills. Even if you've never studied cooking or been in a kitchen before, you can easily create dishes at a chef's level with just a recipe. Purchase also includes 1 point of Strength and 2 points of Charisma. This skill can be upgraded using R-coins. Price: 200 R-coins.

Basic Massage Skill Book: This book will teach you basic massage skills. While difficult to use yourself, it will have many beneficial effects on the recipient, such as relieving fatigue, warming up before exercise, alleviating muscle soreness after exercise, relieving anxiety, promoting relaxation and sleep, and creating a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Bonus: 2 points of Stamina and 1 point of Strength. This skill can be upgraded using R-coins. Price: 300 R-coins. (Note: This skill is passively activated; it takes effect simply by touching the recipient and applying slight pressure. Please be mindful of the context when using it.)
Beginner Swimming Skill Book: This book will teach you basic swimming skills, significantly increasing your underwater breathing time and making it easier to master various swimming strokes without cramping. Bonus: 5 points of Stamina. This skill can be upgraded using R-coins. Price: 250 R-coins.

Beginner Piano Skills Book: This book will enable you to master basic piano techniques and passively improve your musical literacy, allowing you to play melodious and flowing notes. However, it will lack the artist's flair and soulful resonance. Bonus: 5 Charm Points. This skill can be further improved using R-coins. Price: 350 R-coins.

Including the healing potion, there are a total of six items.

Four skill books, and one item that can only be used in real life. Aside from the piano, the skill books all seem quite practical. And this bag is practically the bag of my dreams. For men, appearance and trendiness aren't the main considerations when it comes to bags.

The key is whether it is used and whether it is convenient.

Being able to fit the contents of two warehouses means that whether you're on a business trip or traveling, one bag will suffice. Of course, you might need to avoid people around you.

It also saves you time searching; you can just reach in and look for it. The price of 150 RMB isn't exactly cheap, but it's not unacceptable either.

As for the other skill books, Gu Huai was interested in the cooking book, which was alright. That way, he could cook at home, saving money indirectly, which was pretty good.

Massage? It's useless to myself, what's the point of using it on others? Tomorrow I'll wear sunglasses, go for a blind massage after work, and earn some extra money. "Technician number three is at your service, no extra charges after drinking." Okay, Xu Cheng told me this joke, I've never actually experienced it myself.

To be honest, Gu Huai is a bit afraid of water. He remembers witnessing a child drown in a pond in the countryside when he was in elementary school. So he has always avoided going into the water since then, but he has managed to overcome his fear quite well.

As for the piano, it feels like it was created entirely for Lin Jiang's sake. At her age, she naturally wouldn't aspire to be a piano prodigy, nor would it align with popular perceptions of the art form. Her first half of life had nothing to do with the piano, and suddenly this guy jumps out and says, "Actually, I'm a piano master?" But he certainly has a lot of charisma.
Let's decide on the purchase after this simulation ends.

Anyway, with the simulation predictions in place, the settlement will improve. We'll see what happens in the next simulation. As for what preparations to make for this simulation, it's hard to say.

He hadn't forgotten that he was temporarily 'run away from home.' What could he possibly buy? A bag and become a homeless person? Or perhaps he should buy a cooking skill and start working as a chef right now, only to find himself back at the company as a cafeteria cook upon returning to reality? That would be plenty of work!

It wasn't a particularly exciting restock, but it was acceptable, considering that the items in the weekly shop are generally the kind you won't regret buying. Skills, whether you use them or not, at least provide attribute bonuses. As for the occasional items, apart from the Heartfelt Bracelet, they all have practical uses.

Including that disposable memory sandwich. Gu Huai can now feel the benefits it brings him. When processing data at work, he doesn't need to repeatedly look up the data. Memorizing it in his head basically prevents errors, saving him a lot of effort.

After organizing my thoughts, I temporarily left the store.

[Would you like to enter the simulation now? Requires 30 R coins.]

【Yes. 】

[30 R coins have been deducted from your account, leaving you with 510 R coins.]

[We'll conduct a simulation for you right away.]

A familiar white light enveloped everything before him. For some reason, every time Gu Huai saw this white light, he felt that the words "Genshin Impact" were about to appear. Fortunately, this premonition did not come true.

The noisy sounds first entered my ears, and then gradually I saw the familiar classroom scene.

The boys who don't sit properly in their chairs but prefer to sit on their desks and flirt with female classmates, the girls who secretly hide behind the multimedia equipment and peek into the hallway while charging their phones, and the male students who bury their heads in their crotches as if their phones were attached to them, secretly looking at their phones.

Gu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he wasn't homeless anymore. Judging from the situation, it seemed like he was attending class normally? Had nothing happened?
Or has the thing you were worried about already happened?

Not knowing, I first looked at the blackboard, which wasn't actually pure black, but rather had a slight dark green tinge.

The schedule written above tells Gu Huai that today is Saturday.

That is, the only day of the week without evening self-study.

This day looks good, but will anything special happen today? Gu Huai was still thinking when suddenly...

"Gu Huai!"

Hearing someone call his name, Gu Huai subconsciously looked over and saw Cai Yan wearing a school uniform with the zipper almost up to her chin.

It was still that bright, youthful face with delicate features.

Unfortunately, she was wearing school uniform pants and sneakers. It wasn't the black stockings and high heels that I later became familiar with.

That's true. If a student dressed like that at school, not to mention how the teachers would handle it, the rumors among the students might make them want to hang themselves the next day.

Cai Yan, who loudly called out her name without any hesitation, walked to her desk and frowned.

"Old Wang wants you to go to her office."

"Really? But what's with that expression?"

It's perfectly normal for a homeroom teacher to call a student to the office, but Cai Yan's expression was somewhat puzzling, as if she was worried about something.

She looked at herself.

"Old Wang is acting a bit strange."

".Strange?"

"Yeah, she was smiling the whole time in the office, and she seemed even happier when she called you. What did you do?"

She was laughing the whole time? Did that make the student who had once talked back to her even happier?

The old hag took the wrong medicine.

Gu Huai stood up, leaving behind a calm and collected look.

"Wait here, I will be right back."

"Are you sick in the head?"
