I Play the Horror World as a Simulation Game

"Ugh..."

Qin Nuo slowly regained consciousness after an unknown amount of time. When he opened his eyes and sat up, he found himself in a void, blank space.

Game space?

Qin Nuo was momentarily stunned, looking at his body. It wasn't Li Xiaoming's body, but his own.

In a daze, he recalled the game announcement he heard before losing consciousness.

"So, after completing the role-play, I was sent back to the game space."

Suddenly, a voice from the game echoed in the space: "Ending the first role-play for Player 'Phantom.' The second role-play has been loaded."

"Would you like to enter the instance now to complete the second role-play?"

Qin Nuo was speechless. Isn't this a bit too rushed? Li Xiaoming had just finished his role, and now it's already time for the second one, barely catching his breath.

"It's already over. The final role-play score will be automatically calculated after the game ends," the System replied.

"How many players have completed their roles?"

"42 players are currently playing the first role, 5 players are on the second role, and 1 player is on the third role!"

"Someone's already on the third role?" Qin Nuo's expression changed slightly. It seems there are quite a few skilled players in this instance.

"After playing three roles, even if you haven't completed the main storyline, you can automatically exit the instance. These players are progressing as if they're on steroids, probably not focusing on the main storyline at all."

As Qin Nuo muttered to himself, the game asked again if he wanted to enter the instance for the second role-play.

Qin Nuo confirmed his entry. Compared to the previous instance, his progress in this one was indeed a bit slow. Game time waits for no one; he needed to speed up.

"Playing the role of Li Xiaoming's family was truly exhausting. Not only was the character's psychology twisted, but even the seemingly perfect family was bizarre beyond belief."

"I hope the second role I play is a bit more normal."

Of course, this thought was a bit of a luxury. In the Horror World, which role is normal?

"At least don't let it be a student again. Those brats are really hard to handle."

At this moment, the game's loading progress was complete: "The second role has been loaded. Player is being transported. Good luck!"

As the voice faded, a white light appeared before his eyes, and Qin Nuo immediately felt a sense of weightlessness.

As the white light gradually faded, the surroundings became clearer.

The air around him carried a hint of silence and a peculiar scent.

He found himself in a room that looked like a rental. It wasn't large, with no kitchen, and the living room and bedroom were connected.

There were many things, but everything was neatly arranged. The floor was clean, and a few pots of jasmine were placed on the balcony, with a birdcage hanging beside them. Inside was a white parrot, bobbing its head and hopping around.

It seemed to notice Qin Nuo waking up and mimicked a human voice, repeatedly saying, "Son! Son! Son's awake!"

Qin Nuo's face darkened.

What kind of nonsense did the parrot's owner teach it?

"Judging by the room's decor and the parrot, the character I'm playing seems to be someone with a certain taste."

He was sitting on a computer chair, with a desktop computer still on in front of him. The screen was filled with various file windows, as if he had fallen asleep in the middle of work.

The clothes rack beside him had neatly hung suits and various styles of clothing.

Seeing this, Qin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he wasn't playing a student!

Qin Nuo moved the mouse to check the contents of those folders.

They were mostly detailed answers to test papers, course assignments, and several tables listing the daily workload.

A course schedule showed that all Chinese language classes were recorded and noted on a calendar hanging on the wall.

"It seems this time I'm playing a Chinese teacher."

This was a bit troublesome; he had never been a teacher before, so it was a challenging role for him.

He got up and walked to a mirror to see his full appearance.

He looked about twenty-five or twenty-six, with a very clean face and neatly combed dark hair. He was a handsome young man, with a bit of Mr. Yan's vibe, but less of the hidden cunning.

"He looks bright and sunny. Judging by his attire and room decor, he doesn't seem like a sloppy, introverted, socially anxious shut-in, and might even have a social butterfly syndrome."

Based on his observations, this was Qin Nuo's tentative guess about the character's image.

Qin Nuo walked around the room, hoping to gather more information to identify the character's personality, others' impressions, and so on.

On the bedside table, Qin Nuo saw two photo frames.

One was a group photo with two elderly people, presumably his parents.

The other was a photo with a girl, where they were playing in the water, smiling happily.

The girl was quite pretty, with fair and clean skin, matching well with the character he was playing. If nothing else, they were likely in a relationship.

In the photo, neither of them wore rings on their ring fingers. Qin Nuo looked at his own ring finger, which was also bare, indicating they probably hadn't reached the stage of discussing marriage.

Qin Nuo picked up a thermos cup with a loving photo of him and the girl. Not only that, but some cabinets and ornaments also had photos of the girl.

"It seems they're still very much in love." Qin Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In real life, he had never dated, but in the game, he had to experience playing the role of a guy in a passionate relationship?

Anyway, it wasn't as outrageous as Li Xiaoming's playboy antics, so Qin Nuo felt lucky.

Qin Nuo sat back at the computer, looked at the course schedule, and found that all his classes for the next two days were crossed out in red on the calendar.

Why was that?

He opened the character's phone, an old-fashioned button phone, and found a text message.

After reading it, Qin Nuo understood. He had caught a cold and fever and had taken two days off.

"No wonder I feel dizzy and have a runny nose. The role's experience is incredibly detailed," Qin Nuo muttered.

From the course materials beside him, Qin Nuo found the character's name, Liang Zisu.

"The name is quite elegant, fitting for a teacher."

Qin Nuo continued to browse the study materials. Since he was playing a teacher, these were things he would inevitably encounter.

It seemed that to help players better portray their roles, Qin Nuo didn't feel dizzy or have a headache while looking at the dense teaching materials. Instead, he found them surprisingly clear and easy to understand.

"Just like how Li Xiaoming inexplicably remembered the way home."

Qin Nuo put the teaching materials back in their place, feeling much less pressured.

"Hungry! Hungry! Daddy's hungry!"

At this moment, the parrot on the balcony called out again, its voice loud and childlike, as if a kid was shouting.

"Damn it, how did this Liang Zisu teach the parrot? Did he really treat this bird as his ancestor?"

Qin Nuo looked at the parrot in the cage, feeling a strange sense of humiliation.

The parrot flapped its wings, cawing incessantly.

Qin Nuo had no choice. He couldn't strangle the annoying bird, so he went to the balcony, found a bag of bird food, and poured it into the bowl in the cage.

The parrot happily ate, laughing in a way Qin Nuo couldn't describe, but it was quite sleazy.

"Ding, player fed the pet parrot, gaining 2% role-play completion!"

A game notification suddenly sounded in his mind, and Qin Nuo was speechless. Even feeding a bird earned role-play points.

Yawning, Qin Nuo didn't know if it was the cold weather or his own cold, but he shivered a bit, rubbed his nose, and decided to lie back on the bed.

He had just checked the balcony and found that he was at Black Crow Ghost School. Liang Zisu wasn't living in a rental but in a teacher's dormitory.

His parents were likely far away, and his girlfriend possibly in a different city, living alone, which was undoubtedly a good thing for Qin Nuo.

The fewer people around, the easier it was to play the role. Qin Nuo wished this Liang Zisu was an extremely introverted person.

As Qin Nuo was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, and a female voice came from outside: "Mr. Liang, are you asleep?"

Qin Nuo was a bit surprised but responded and got out of bed to open the door.

Opening the door, he saw a girl in her early twenties standing outside, wearing glasses, with a fair face and a white checkered shirt, looking very pretty.

In her hands was a bowl of steaming mint ginger chicken porridge.

Qin Nuo looked at the female teacher, momentarily stunned.

The female teacher, feeling a bit embarrassed under his gaze, slightly lowered her head and said, "Mr. Liang, I heard you were sick, so I made some chicken porridge. Drinking it should make you feel better."

"It's quite hot, so be careful."

"Oh, thank you very much." Qin Nuo snapped back to reality and quickly took the bowl, almost dropping it because it was too hot.

The female teacher didn't say much, glanced into the room, and smiled slightly, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. I hope you get better soon."

After the female teacher left, Qin Nuo returned to the room, closing the door with his heel, and placed the chicken porridge on the table.

His daze wasn't because the female teacher was stunning, but because he had seen her before and even chatted a few times.

She was Li Xiaoming's English teacher...
