In Ark Simulator, why do I always start out as a ruthless person?.

Zuo Le felt dazed and didn't come to his senses until he walked out of Chen Qi's office.

He himself could never have imagined that one day he would be able to have such a close relationship... and be on equal terms with a being of that level?

If word of this gets to the palace, I'm afraid the ministers will impeach him for an overstepping of authority, right?

"Your Excellency is so kind. No wonder my father said in private that there were rumors in the palace that the Emperor wanted to pass the throne to..."

However, even though he was just mumbling to himself, Zuo Le, who realized it belatedly, was frightened by his own words and broke into a cold sweat. He quickly glanced around and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure there was no third party.

In the office, Chen Qi, who was alone at this time, was lying lazily on the chair and whispered to the air around him:

"System, I want to check my dashboard and the upgrade progress."

[Okay, calling up the template for the initial simulation and the system upgrade progress for the host. ]

What responded to Chen Qi was a lively female voice echoing in his mind, and soon, a virtual screen unfolded in front of Chen Qi.

[Name: Chen Qi

Simulated location: Yan Country

Simulated identity: Son of the Dragon

Inherent entry: Medical Saint Body (5 stars): Whether it is the memory of the previous life or the unique talent, your attainments in medicine are destined to be ahead of this era.

Affinity (4 stars): Ignoring the affinity of status and class, anyone will be more likely to let down their guard towards you. 】

[Congratulations to the host for completing the first simulation and achieving the system upgrade task prerequisite. The system upgrade is complete, new functions have been added, and the host can perform the next simulation at any time. ]

Son of the true dragon.

To be precise, he is the third legitimate son of the true dragon.

In other words, the former crown prince Wei Yanwu, who is now the ruler of Longmen, is Chen Qi's elder brother.

The one who was the emperor of Dayan was Chen Qi’s second brother.

This was Chen Qi's first identity after he traveled to the world of the Ark. He studied traditional Chinese medicine for nine years and worked as an intern for three years in his previous life.

"My second brother is so persistent in trying to get me back to be the emperor... I've already said I'm not suitable. Besides, how can an emperor abdicate to his brother?"

When Chen Qi thought about how he wanted to pass this time bomb to him, and how they were going to be princes and live a carefree life, and theoretically they also had the power of Da Yanqiang, he felt a headache.

He doesn't want to take over this mess!

If he had not been the third prince and was still young at that time, it would not have been his turn to be selected as the eldest prince or the wisest prince. He really doubted whether his two brothers would have left the seat on the golden toilet for him!

"There's no other way..." Chen Qi shook his head and made up his mind.

"In order for my good second brother to stay on the toilet, I must prove that my staying outside is indeed more helpful to him and Da Yan."

"——System, I want to conduct a second simulation."

[Okay, this system has started to work and is generating data for the second simulation for the host. ]

New work by newcomer Ziqian! Please support us, readers!

Chapter 2 is a very good simulation entry, which makes me raise my palm

In fact, when Chen Qi first traveled through time, he frowned a little when he learned that his golden finger was a "simulation".

After all, as a former college student, Chen Qi was busy studying medicine and preparing for exams and teachers, and naturally he had read a lot of online articles. He also knew something about simulation.

He has naturally also experienced simulation texts that were written as "simulation" and read as "brainwashing".

To be fair, he doesn't like most of the simulation systems on the market.

He relies on a system that is either deliberate or forced to create conflicts, pushes the plot to an unexpected level, and then forces this non-existent memory that only he has experienced into the heroine's mind.

However, after Chen Qi actually experienced his own system simulation, his original concerns were swept away.

His simulation, although it is called a simulation, is actually more like being teleported to a point in time and then immersing oneself in a different life.

Although this simulation is not convenient, it has a wonderful benefit for Chen Qi.

He could be sure that even if his system was taken away from him one day, what he had learned in the simulation would truly belong to him.

This made him feel very reassured.

"System, what effect will your upgrade have on the simulation? It can't be a negative optimization, right?"

[Hehe, of course not, host, don't underestimate me, this upgrade will bring huge improvements to this system. ]

[However, to find out the specific upgrades, let the host experience it in the simulation! ]

The system's smug female voice entered Chen Qi's mind.

Soon, after Chen Qi nodded, a template that he had never seen before appeared in front of him.

"This is?"

[This is a new feature after the upgrade, entry template. ]

[In the host's first simulation, in addition to the identity, the entries are all the host's own skills. In order to facilitate the host's subsequent simulation experience, this system adds the entry function for the host. 】

[The host can choose two of the six randomly generated entries and add them to your next simulation. ]

[The highest number of stars for an entry is 6, and the lowest is 1. Once selected, it cannot be changed or abandoned midway, so please choose carefully. ]

I see. What did the two entries that came with my first simulation mean?

But you don’t have to see it to know that I could only hope not to fail the medical examination and was an ordinary person who was timid and submissive during my internship. How could I be considered a [Medical Saint]?

However, Chen Qi changed his mind and thought that perhaps his [Medical Holy Body] was defined according to Terra's standards?

After all, he had past memories, which meant he knew medicine from birth. Even though the Terrans were many different species, and the herbs and potions were very different from his previous life, his starting point was still higher than most Terrans.

As a medical student with the bonus of past life memories, I can indeed be called a [Medical Saint] here.

While Chen Qi was thinking, six randomly generated entries were listed in front of him.

[Luck (3 stars): You are blessed by the God of Luck, which gives you a glimmer of hope for a turnaround when you are in desperate situations.

Sinful Talent (5 stars): You are an enviable talent, but you don’t seem to be using your talent in the right field?

Speaker (4 stars): You are a natural agitator and lobbyist. If used properly, your words can turn into an army of millions.

Difficulties (2 stars): Being born into a life of great adversity is a standard start for a ruthless person in Tongliao. This makes it difficult for you to be defeated in the face of adversity, because no matter how hard life is, it can never be as hard as your life.

Painter (3 stars): You have dreamed of becoming a painter since you were a child, and you firmly believe that you will go down in history.

King of the Great West (4 stars): Heaven created all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay Heaven. Kill, kill, kill! 】

Well, very good entry, makes me raise my palm 45 degrees.

Looking at these six entries of his own, Chen Qi, who was not very good at history, felt that they were very familiar, and his philtrum was itching.

"...System, let me confirm that I have chosen your entry. I will not be affected by the power of your system and directly become another person, right?"

[Yes and no. 】

"?"

Okay, okay, I've adapted to the Ark environment, and you're also giving me a riddle, right?

[The entry itself only determines the host's talent in the simulation, and cannot determine what kind of person the host will become. ]

[However, the simulation will also make reasonable deductions based on the host's entry selection. Therefore, this system does not rule out the possibility that the host may experience some changes in personality due to the simulation.]

[After all, the key decisions in the simulation are all made by the host himself. This system is just a lousy worker and cannot force you to make your decision. ]

"That's okay."

This means I don't have to worry about growing into a mustache, right?

Chen Qi is still very confident in himself. He is a young man of the 21st century with a good family background.

When he traveled to the Great Yan Palace, even the royal family did not corrupt his mind. No matter how he changed, he should not be able to become that kind of humanoid creature.

"Then, [Sinful Talent]... This is the only 5-star guaranteed one. Even though the description is a bit weird, this is the only one I can choose now."

As for the remaining talents, Chen Qi was troubled between [Luck], [King of the Great West], and [Speaker].

The first thing Chen Qi ruled out was [luck].

Are you kidding? His first ten-pull combo is a guaranteed win. The limited card pool mostly depends on Jing's luck. What's the use of adding some luck points?

And it’s only useful in desperate situations, it’s not like you’re playing against YGO where you have a chance to turn the tables as long as you’re alive, not to mention it’s not 100% effective.

As for [King of the Great West] and [Speaker]...

"Although it won't affect his personality, I always feel that this [Great Western King] is much worse."

You can't just choose a speaker, right? After all, there are so many great speakers in this world.

"Then, choose [Sinful Gift] and [Speaker]."

[Understood. Now we are extracting the host's identity and location for the second simulation...]

[Extracting host's simulated identity... Race confirmed to be Caprini. 】

[The host's simulated location result is... Leitania! ]

"?"

Little question mark, do you have many friends?

But before Chen Qi could react and wonder if this background and his panel were a bit too compatible, the female voice of the system came again:

[Simulated family background, determined to be "official family." ]

[All simulation conditions have been prepared, the simulation is about to begin, please be ready...]

After a while, as the female voice of the system fell, Chen Qi was swallowed by a familiar feeling of dizziness, and he felt as if his consciousness seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool.

When he regained consciousness and opened his eyes again, he was facing a couple with goat-like horns, looking at them with loving eyes.

Chen Qi, who had already experienced it once, knew very well that his second simulation had officially begun.

[You were born in a mobile city in Leithania near the border with Casimir. Your mother is a doctor and your father is a mid-level government official.]

[Before you, your parents had given birth to several children, but they all died early. You are the last and only surviving child they gave birth to.]

[You are the final fruit of their love, and everything they need to live in this world. ]

【And since the day you were born, you have never disappointed your parents. 】

[Although your parents are both Caprini of ordinary blood, you were born with blood-red threads around your horns.]

[And at the time you were born, the ruler of Leithnia, the "Witch King", also had a similar outline on his horns. 】

[This accidental resemblance made your parents very happy. They all believed that you would become a great figure like the Witch King.]

"?" Do you want to inherit this too?

In the simulation, Chen Qi, who was in the cradle, subconsciously wanted to touch his own horns, but the baby's posture was top-heavy and his hands were short, so he had to give up.

But he still clearly remembered that when he simulated his first birth in the imperial palace as the third prince of Dayan, there were indeed golden threads on his dragon horns.

At that time, he heard the palace physician say that he had "the appearance of a celestial being" and the reason seemed to be that his horns were almost the same as those of a real dragon.

Unexpectedly, even after the second simulation, this feature was inherited.

However, Chen Qi didn't think much about it.

After all, you can't use conspiracy theories to say that his family is the Witch King's direct relatives just because there are bloodshot horns, right?

[When you were 3 years old, your parents spent a huge amount of money to hire a tutor for you. You learned to read and write under the guidance of this tutor.]

[And your learning speed once again shocked your parents. ]

[You can recognize words faster than all the children of the same age in your hometown. Not only that, you have never left your hometown, but you seem to be full of curiosity about the medicine of Dayan, which is thousands of miles away from Leitania.]

[For this reason, your mother, who is a doctor, was overjoyed and began to teach you about medical knowledge step by step.]

[Your mother firmly believes that you will become a doctor like her and live a fulfilling life without any illness or disaster.]

【But your father doesn’t think so. 】

[Your father once escaped from farming by expressing his crazy worship of the Witch King, and became a mid-level government official with his own talents, which is very remarkable in your hometown.]

[Therefore, he also has high hopes for you, hoping that you can stand on his shoulders and become a political official. ]

[When you were 4 years old, your parents called you over, put a pen and a scalpel in front of you, and gave you the right to choose.]

"My child, don't worry. No matter which one you choose, mom and dad will support you."
