After careful consideration, Qin Luo finally chose the 1 point of emotional intelligence.

He realized that his behavior in the simulation might have been too rash and direct, causing Xia Zihan to dislike him so much. This slight improvement in his emotional intelligence might allow him to change his communication style with Xia Zihan in subsequent simulations, thus opening up new possibilities.

After making his choice, Qin Luo sat down in one of the corners. Looking at Xia Zihan in the other corner, he wanted to go over and try to communicate with her, but judging from the simulation results, there probably wouldn't be any surprises. Moreover, he was afraid that his rash action would make tomorrow's simulation even more difficult.

Nothing happened that night. Twenty-four hours had passed since the last simulation. Qin Luo quickly opened the system panel, opened the pink simulation interface, and started a new round of simulation by looking at Xia Zihan's information.

[Due to the detected short simulation survival time, this simulation will resume from the previous time point.]

On the first day, you stopped flailing around in front of Xia Zihan as before. Instead, you sat quietly beside her, occasionally whispering words of concern, such as, "The environment here isn't good; you should take care of yourself." She still ignored you, but glanced up at you indifferently before quickly looking down and returning to her original posture.

The next day, in the early hours of the night, when you noticed Xia Zihan's hands trembling slightly as she hugged her knees because of the cold, you took off your thin coat, gently walked over, and said softly, "It's cold here, this will keep you warm."

Xia Zihan didn't take the clothes. She looked up and glared coldly at you, then curled up on her side on the ground. You felt utterly helpless and could only take the coat back to your corner.

On the third day, you kept a close eye on Xia Zihan's every move, afraid of missing any details. Suddenly, a sound came from outside, and you saw a group of men in black holding a portrait and comparing it to something in front of your cell door.

[Then you hear the man in black holding the portrait say calmly, "It should be her," before opening the cell door and entering.]

[You suppressed your fear and stood in front of Xia Zihan, saying to them, "What are you doing!" But the men in black didn't even glance at you; they drew their broadswords, and in a flash, you were dead.]

This simulation has ended and is currently being evaluated...

[Overall Result: Affection Value: 1; Failed to meet minimum reward requirements.]

Please select the reward for this simulation. Rewards can only be applied within the simulation.

[a: 1 point of emotional intelligence; b: 1 point of appearance; c: 1 point of skill; d: 1 point of luck]

"how so?"

Qin Luo was puzzled by the simulation results. He thought he had done well enough in the simulation, and even stood in front of the men in black for her on the third day, but he only managed to get 1 point of affection. Was Xia Zihan really that hard to win over?

Looking at his 1 point of affection, Qin Luo began to doubt his life. Sure enough, this kind of romantic thing was not suitable for him.

After pondering for a while, Qin Luo looked at the four options and started to think. Although emotional intelligence does play a big role, it is not decisive. He completely ignored the appearance option. With his handsome face, why would he need this option? Choosing this would be an insult to his confidence.

Skills seemed even less reliable, and Xia Zihan didn't seem like the type of woman attracted to talent. That left only the last option. Qin Luo hesitated, looking at the 1 point of luck, but finally hardened his heart and chose the lucky option. Life or death would depend on tomorrow!

After making his choice, Qin Luo seemed to have exhausted all his energy, and then slumped down in the corner and slowly closed his eyes.

Another night passed without incident. When the simulation count was refreshed again after another 24 hours, Qin Luo immediately opened the system interface. Looking at Xia Zihan's information on the pink screen, Qin Luo started this simulation without hesitation.

[Due to the detected short simulation survival time, this simulation will resume from the previous time point.]

On the first day, you sat quietly next to Xia Zihan, gently showing her concern. She still ignored you. After a pause, you realized that your concern was ineffective, so you began to tell her about what you had seen and heard in the village.

When you described the men in black indiscriminately whipping the villagers, a flicker appeared in her eyes, which you skillfully caught. So, when you reached the crucial point, you sighed and paused.

After a long pause, Xia Zihan finally couldn't wait to know what happened to the other villagers, and her soft voice came out: "Go on."

Seeing this, you smiled inwardly, sat down beside her, and continued to tell her about the fate of the villagers...

The next day, in the early hours of the night, when you noticed Xia Zihan's hands trembling slightly as she hugged her knees because of the cold, you took off your thin coat and handed it to her, gently saying, "Put this on; it'll keep you warm."

Xia Zihan looked up and gave you a cold glance, without taking the clothes. Just as you shook your head and took the clothes back, the wind outside the dungeon seemed to pick up a bit.

After careful consideration, you gently draped the clothes over her shoulders and whispered, "Put them on if you need them." At that moment, the wind outside the dungeon picked up, causing Xia Zihan, whose cultivation had been crippled, to twist her arms around her knees in frustration.

Seeing this, you silently sat down beside her, blocking the cold wind blowing in through the gap. Xia Zihan didn't say anything either, silently turning her body to another position.
