Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Second Life Simulator! …
[Mamoru: Did you see the link I just sent? This is a super popular game lately. I've already downloaded it and I'm waiting for you! This time I'm definitely going to avenge my previous defeat!]
Komari, the player's gaming partner, has always been brooding over the fact that he lost to her in a certain game. But in fact, even the player himself doesn't know how she won the strategy game.
[Ko-Maimai: Please don't click the wrong button again! Please, please, don't click the wrong button! π_π]
In a room with curtains closed and no one knowing whether it was day or night, the player who had successfully applied to study abroad and now just needed to slack off saw a bunch of messages popping up from friends as soon as he opened his eyes. After reading them, his breathing quickened and a few drops of sweat appeared on his head out of guilt.
It was nothing more than a request from a friend. Players always click on links they shouldn't for one reason or another. Every time such an accident happens, the one who suffers the most is her holographic cabin.
[Qianqiu Wandai: Order now, I won't make a mistake this time! I swear QAQ]
The player forcibly ignored the questions from his friends one after another, lay down in the holographic cabin, swiped up the chat history directly, and clicked on the link sent by his friends - as expected, it was an island country game.
The future international student* who has only a mediocre level of Japanese is stunned by the large number of introduction words: ······Well, I can hardly understand it.
Although it may seem a bit shocking, the download speed of this holographic game far exceeds players' imagination.
like!
With years of gaming experience and familiarity with fixed vocabulary, players skillfully ignore those long-winded speeches, such as player instructions and necessary contracts, and skip them all until they reach the final green button -
【Confirmationする(confirm)】
As the clicking action was completed, the player, who had already adjusted a comfortable sleeping position for himself, quickly put on the helmet used to connect to brain waves and sent a message to his friends that he was about to start the game.
[Qianqiu Bandai: OK, I've downloaded it. It's called "Second Life Simulator," right? I'll start it then. Hopefully, I can complete it in one life!]
[Qianqiu Wandai: I won’t say any more trash talk. I think I have confidence!]
[Mamoru-chan: Oh, it downloaded so quickly? Then I'll start the game too.]
[Koumaru: ...Wait, what's "Second Life Simulator"? That's wrong. The game I downloaded is called "Freedom Simulator"? What's going on? Chiyo, did you get the link wrong again?]
[Kome-chan: Hey, hey, Chiyo, Chiyo? It's already started? Your holopod isn't going to be sent for repairs again, is it?!]
Players who were already immersed in the game were destined not to see the message sent by Komari. At the same time, with her eyes slightly closed, she naturally did not notice that the flashing color of her helmet was not the normal green, but a blue light, which shone on the player's face and looked extremely abnormal.
Tiny words flickered in the cold blue, unnoticed by anyone.
Conscious immersion is successful...
The contract was successfully signed...
System binding successful...
The Second Life Simulator system is happy to serve players. We sincerely hope that players will stay true to their original aspirations and live a wonderful Second Life!
----------------------------------------
After clicking the confirm button, the player sees a short video that synopsizes the premise. Following a golden bird, the scene sweeps across a bottomless pit with the faint traces of dilapidated houses, five buildings jutting out from the sea, and a seemingly ordinary red brick building that's actually full of age...
Her consciousness directed her body to scroll through the video, and she was shocked to find that the video was actually ten minutes long!
It's actually been ten minutes long! What a thoughtful effort! -- the player thought.
However, she chose the skip button in the upper right corner without hesitation - the player really had no patience for the long plot.
After skipping the long plot, the player finally saw the initial page of the game. The most eye-catching thing was the huge pit she had just seen. After waiting for a while, a huge wooden board popped out from the depths of the pit with huge words written on it - "Second Life Simulator", followed by two small tails, one was the start game button and the other was the exit button.
So... so rough.
The CG is so exquisite, why is the initial page so rough and makes people feel cheated?
Is it because the previous funds were burned too much?
The player was a little confused, but the unfinished video still gave her a lot of confidence. Maybe this game was about saving when you should and spending when you should.
Besides, there is also the bet with Komari.
Thinking of this, the player no longer hesitated and attacked decisively.
Start the game
Welcome to the Second Life Simulator game, a game full of freedom. Players can explore their favorite gameplay and trigger a variety of tasks. Let's cheer for freedom!
[First, please choose a name for yourself to start your second life! Your name is ____]
Player: Since it’s so free, I might as well just use my real name.
[Your name is----Kamikami Chiyo]
After choosing the name, the screen seemed to flash a few times, and then a piece of text popped up.
Dear players, in order to explore freely, you need not only a name but also a good body. Please create a walking body for yourself!
Player: That sounds very high-sounding, but isn’t this just face-pinching?
But don’t holographic games automatically scan body data?
Looking at the 3D shell scanned by the system, the player poked it left and right and found that most of it was gray and could not be changed. Only the eyes and hair could be changed.
It's a disgrace to holographic games.
Players looked at the gray buttons that could not be changed and wanted to slap them to make them bright.
After trying without success, the player gave up and clicked on the buttons that could be interacted with.
First of all, it is impossible to change her hairstyle, as she has loved long, straight black hair all her life!
The only thing that can change is the eyes, but players are still very satisfied.
You know, in real life, players' eyelids have a force comparable to that of a giant shark, and their colored contact lenses can't be poked in, so their cosplay can only be saved by post-production photo editing.
Being able to experience different color combinations is already very good, so she used all her energy and means to dye her eyes into a pair of eyeballs that would shock the world and make ghosts cry - it would be best if they were different from everyone else's!
Half an hour later----
After various adjustments, the player's appearance in the game changed to - long straight black hair, golden eyes, and a white robe as the initial outfit given by the game.
"Ehmm, I look like an ordinary NPC." Looking at the 'self' he had created, the player sighed inexplicably. "This must be the game's fault. The promised freedom, but now I can only change my hair and eye color. It's still too imperfect."
"It's not bad though." Looking at the flawless skin, the player thought happily, this is the real beautified version of himself.
【You clicked confirm】
Dear Kamikami Chiyo, congratulations on having a body that can walk on earth. Please choose the map you like. Do you want to choose ____?
A.Tokyo
B.Yokohama
C. Namimori Town
D. Deserted island, hahahaha I want to be the Monkey King]
Player: What the hell is that last option? Why is it so insane? I'd better not make it too difficult. My previous games were almost all set in Tokyo, and I'm tired of them. So, I'll choose ----B.
【You chose Yokohama】
Dear Kamijou Chiyo, I'm glad you chose Yokohama as your first step to explore freely. I must remind you that Yokohama is a free place, but also a dangerous place. Perhaps you need a force to protect yourself. Please select your special ability____
A. Random
B. Random
C. Random
D. Random
Player: ???
Looking at the four identical options, the player was speechless: "Do I even have the right to choose? Pah, you're trying to trick me before I even start playing. I'll report you when you get out. Just pick one."
【You selected Random】
[Respected Kamiya Chiyo, congratulations on obtaining the supernatural power - Construction. ]
【Novice guidance completed.】
Dear Kamikami Chiyo, we will provide you with a basic panel, a newbie gift pack, 10 red bean paste buns, 10 bottles of mineral water, and 5 hair dye trial kits. We sincerely hope you enjoy the game and live a wonderful second life!
【Immersive game, officially begins! 】
The author has something to say:

Push my pre-collection: The chef simulator starting from Binsheng
Introduction:
Your name is Yukihira Kazuma, and you are definitely a candidate for Totsuki.
On the day before school starts, you receive a tool from the school that is said to improve your cooking skills - a realistic game.
You entered the game out of curiosity.
I thought it was a story of apprenticing to an electronics master, learning cooking skills, and reaching the pinnacle of life, but...

What? It's a game about improving your cooking skills, but you have to study?
What? A strange creature like a cursed spirit can actually be used as food?
What? This is supposed to be a game to improve your cooking skills, but your classmate is actually a mafia heir?
You: ...Is that right? Does that make sense?
But your passion for improving your cooking skills is no less than that of the little sponge who loves his work, and despite all the difficulties, you still persevered tenaciously!
