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

Chapter 174 I Dreamed of You (Third Update, Please Vote!)
[Settling your simulation rewards.]

[Due to the existence of simulation predictions, this settlement will be improved.]

[Reward: 500 R-coins, 10 attribute points (unallocated)]

"Phew, that's quite a lot."

This adds up to an accumulation of 1010 R coins and ten unallocated attribute points.

Is this what it feels like to hold a huge sum of money in your hands again?
It's like playing a game where you finally accumulate a considerable amount of money by completing tasks and defeating bosses, allowing you to buy the equipment you need and then upgrade to the next stage.

However, simulations should not be confused with simply playing games.

After all, the simulation is realistic; you can feel the temperature, smell, and touch, making it incredibly lifelike.

Unlike in games, where the only real impact is a sense of accomplishment or frustration, you can't just revive after being killed.

Just as Gu Huai was thinking about how to start spending money.

Sudden.

[Based on your outstanding performance this time, Master, an additional reward of 10000 yuan (for real-world use only) is hereby awarded.]

Gu Huai blinked blankly in his mind.

Take less?

Ten thousand?
Did they really drop a lot of gold coins?!

This was the first time Gu Huai had seen the RMB symbol in the simulation system—not R-coins or any other simulated currency, but real RMB!

What was going on? Gu Huai was stunned for a long time. He had originally thought that although he had gained a cheat system, he still needed to work hard to make a living and ultimately create miracles through his own efforts.

But this sudden 'reward,' which hit him like a pie falling from the sky, seemed to overturn all of Gu Huai's previous psychological assumptions.

Of course, in every sense, this 10,000 yuan is only beneficial to me and has no disadvantages.

After all, with my current salary, ten thousand yuan is definitely a considerable sum. While it's impossible to immediately use that money to fulfill any dreams, make investments, or acquire any assets, do you understand the feeling of unexpected windfall?
But how should this money be transferred to my hands to be considered reasonable? Did it just appear out of nowhere? Could it cause any unexpected trouble?

But that's not something to think about right now. We can worry about the 10,000 yuan later. For now, let's indulge in some serious spending.

Enter the store, holding 1010 R coins.

Gu Huai looked around and finally made a decision.

[Buy the massive storage pack successfully! Congratulations! You will receive it after exiting the simulation. 150 R coins deducted, remaining: 860 R coins.]

[Purchase of the Beginner Massage Skill Book successful. Congratulations! You have mastered the Beginner Massage skill and gained 1 point of Strength and 2 points of Stamina. 300 R coins deducted, remaining: 560 R coins.]

[Purchase of the Beginner Cooking Skill Book successful! Congratulations! You have mastered the Beginner Cooking skill and gained 1 Strength point and 2 Charm points. 200 R coins deducted, remaining: 360 R coins.]

Gu Huai stopped there and decided not to continue buying.

Storage bags are very practical in real life and are not expensive, so it's good to buy one sooner and enjoy it sooner.

The reason I bought the massage and cooking skill books first is that these two skills are reasonably priced and practical. Cooking goes without saying, but massage is more applicable than the other two. Who knows when it might have an unexpected effect? ​​Although it's unlikely I'll be able to use it on myself, helping Lin Jiang and Cai Yan in real life is a good way to help myself.

There were absolutely no strange or bizarre plots or scenes.

It is absolutely not to prepare in advance for any despicable situation.

absolute!

After purchasing a skill book and acquiring the skill, the attribute values ​​will change along with the one-time bonus.

Intelligence: 62, Strength: 57, Endurance: 47, Charisma: 62.

Then start assigning attribute values.

Gu Huai decided to allocate the points as follows: 1 point of Intelligence, 3 points of Strength, 3 points of Endurance, and 3 points of Charisma.

Since the existence of simulation predictions improves the settlement, the allocation of points is now much more flexible, no longer requiring careful planning due to limited resources.

[Attribute values ​​have been assigned; the update results are as follows.]

【Intelligence: 63】

[Strength: 60 (Your strength is admirable, exceeding the average level for a normal male, and you are definitely robust.)]

[Endurance: 50 (Completing high-intensity exercise is a breeze; full of energy, comparable to the boundless energy of an 18-year-old; naturally, the same applies to sex life.)]

[Charm: 65 (Handsome is the only word to describe you, and it will soon become one of your defining characteristics.)]

Hmm~ these attributes look much better.

[Synchronizing two skills will cost 40 RMB. Do you wish to proceed?]

[Skills have been synchronized. 40 RMB deducted, remaining: 320 RMB.]

[This synchronization requires 50 R coins. Synchronize now?]

[The values ​​have been synchronized. 50 R coins have been deducted, leaving 270 R coins.]

[The next simulation starts this Saturday, please don't miss it. Exiting the simulation for you!]

Immersed in a white light, feeling content and fulfilled, I was then greeted by a gloomy morning.

Although the weather was gloomy, Gu Huai felt the same excitement and anticipation he had when he went on his first school field trip. On his bedside table sat an extra bag, neither a handbag nor a shoulder bag, but rather a backpack-like bag. It wasn't the kind of bag a student would carry; instead, it was a white backpack with black stripes, and a teddy bear-like plush toy was attached to it.

Upon opening it, it appeared no different from a normal schoolbag.

It matches my usual clothes fairly well, so as long as it doesn't look out of place.

"By the way, where's my windfall, buddy?"

Gu Huai was thinking about the ten thousand yuan when his phone vibrated.

He quickly took out his phone and saw a message.

[Congratulations to Mr. Gu Huai, a valued Oasis product user, on winning this month's Oasis Lucky User Award! You have received a random prize of 10,000 RMB. No information is required, and the prize has already been deposited into your account. Please continue using Oasis products; may luck continue to smile upon you!]

Oasis product users?
The helmet I'm going to use is indeed an Oasis product, but I don't remember there being any user registration process or me entering my bank card number. Where has this reward been sent?

Is it going to be some online lending platform where I have to apply for a loan?

Just as I was thinking that, a second message was sent to my phone.

[User Gu Huai, your China Construction Bank savings card has received a transfer of 10000 yuan.]

"You think this is even possible?"

I checked my bank account balance and there was indeed an extra 10,000 yuan. Looking at the transferor, it was indeed Oasis Company.

"Is there such a way?" Gu Huai was both amused and exasperated.

However, compared to all that, this long simulation has indeed left me somewhat inexplicably exhausted. Even after regaining my energy, some mental fatigue still needs to be compensated for by a solid reality.

I took a shower, and as usual, I observed the changes in my body afterward.

The most obvious feature is the definition of the muscles.

I don't have much fitness experience. The only exercise I do is play basketball in the neighborhood when I'm resting, and bully the kids there.

Now, the way my biceps are bent, and even the smooth lines of my shoulders, make my shoulders look much more upright.

The outlines of abdominal muscles are already faintly visible, though not yet very pronounced. However, it already presents an attractive physique and figure.

As for his face, his skin was more delicate, and his features seemed more defined. Gu Huai increasingly felt what it meant for someone's features to appear unchanged, yet their overall aura to become more and more captivating.

People who know him will definitely recognize him as Gu Huai, even those who met him years ago. But they will be obviously curious and surprised, as if he has been reborn. They can't say exactly what has changed, but being handsome is a subtle feeling.

After finishing these tasks and getting ready to go to work, Gu Huai suddenly remembered something.

That's right, Lu Yuqing!

Now that we know the other person's name, let's search to see if they've become a big star.

Searching for this name online yields nothing but empty promises; it doesn't cause a ripple or generate any sensational news. Occasionally, one or two people with the same name appear, but the results are merely blogs by unrelated individuals.

Let's try Douyin again. I remember her Douyin name is easy to remember.
"Found it."

Gu Huai, carrying a huge storage bag on his back, searched for the other party's Douyin account while leaving the house.

The homepage shows that there are 13 followers, which is much more than the few hundred followers before.

The homepage introduction reads: My name is Yu Qing, and my dream is to become an actress.

This was his own suggestion, Gu Huai still remembers it. What surprised Gu Huai was that it hadn't changed over the years?

Meanwhile, looking at some of the videos posted below, the style seems to be the same as the style I designed for her before, without much change. Her appearance and styling have changed somewhat over the years. However, apart from the top few with over 100,000 likes, the others only have a little over 10,000 likes at most.

"Could it be because the style hasn't changed for a long time, and the original style hasn't been broken through to reach its peak, so it has encountered a data bottleneck, and the platform is not pushing the stream?"

However you look at it, it proves one thing: my small help may have helped her overcome her predicament to some extent, but it was not enough to make her realize her dream.

This proves that relying solely on her own efforts, it would be difficult to make a significant impact in this era, even on the internet.

Is the level of intervention still insufficient?
Gu Huai also successfully found the contact who shouldn't have been there on his WeChat.

The contact name is Lu Yuqing, and it seems that even the profile picture hasn't changed over the years.

A sense of absurdity, a blurring of reality and illusion, washed over Gu Huai. He didn't know if his intervention was insufficient, or if he simply couldn't shake the vast timeline. But then he opened the chat window between the two of them.

We discovered that there wasn't even any data for communication.

That's true. I've changed so many phones, and there haven't been many conversations in between. Like most contacts, they're just business cards in my phone. As time marches on, we each go our own way, and gradually we lose touch.

At this point, Gu Huai could naturally use his old tone to start a conversation with the other party.

But what should we say and do?

Having boarded a bus that wasn't there specifically to pick him up, Gu Huai exited the interface.

"The data sample is insufficient; it seems we need to try again."

I dreamt about you last night.

Suddenly, a message was sent to my phone.
