Chapter 107: Villain Simulator, Ch 106
[Age 50: You resigned from your position as Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius, passing the title on to Sucrose.]
[Age 51: After your retirement, you and Alice reopened a school together, once again taking in orphans and children from poor families.]
[Age 52: Grand Master Varka passed away, and Jean officially took over as the Grand Master.]
[Age 53: Through your collaborative research with Sucrose, you were able to create alchemical dolls almost indistinguishable from humans. However, fearing the potential misuse of this technology, you decided to halt further research in this area.]
[Age 54: Due to the slow aging process of elves, people often mistook you and Alice as father and daughter when you went out together. Alice would playfully call you "Daddy" and engage in various intimate gestures, always drawing curious glances from passersby.]
[Of course, you didn\'t let her have the upper hand all the time. When night fell and you returned to your room, Alice would call you "Daddy" even more frequently than during the day.]
[Thanks to your alchemical heart, your physical strength and vitality remained at their peak for a long time, serving as an essential \'lubricant\' in your marriage.]
[Age 56: If Klee inherited your talent for making explosives, then your second daughter Roland undoubtedly inherited your skill in alchemy. By the age of 13, she had almost mastered all of your alchemical knowledge.]
[Age 58: Klee, due to her elven heritage from Alice, aged very slowly. Even at the age of 30, she looked no different from a 16- or 17-year-old, which often caused confusion. New recruits of the Knights of Favonius would mistake her for a peer, something that frustrated Klee greatly.]
[Age 60: Upon reaching adulthood, Roland decided not to join the Knights of Favonius. Instead, she embarked on a journey across the seven nations, seeking to improve her alchemy and learn more about the craft.]
[Age 63: The school you and Alice founded had already produced many talented individuals.]
[Age 66: Jean officially retired from her position as Grand Master, and to everyone\'s surprise, Klee was chosen as her successor. However, given her merits and accomplishments, it was a logical choice.]
[Visually, of course, Klee was undoubtedly the youngest-looking Grand Master in the history of the Knights of Favonius.]
[Age 67: With nothing to occupy her time after retirement, Jean couldn\'t sit idle. She decided to take up a position at your school, teaching swordsmanship.]
[Age 70: Your second daughter Roland sent a letter home, informing you that she had found a job in Inazuma. She was now working as an alchemical doll specialist for the Shogunate, overseeing the maintenance and care of these creations.]
[Age 75: Your body had deteriorated significantly, and the alchemical heart you had been using started to malfunction frequently. Sucrose suggested replacing it, but you refused. At the very least, you wanted to die as a human.]
[Age 84: You reached the end of your life. As you lay in bed, surrounded by your family and the students you had trained, you gazed upon your eternally youthful wife and daughters, feeling as though your entire life had been a fleeting dream. In Alice\'s tearful eyes, you saw your own reflection before slowly closing your eyes for the last time.]
[This life simulation has ended.]
[Cause of death: Heart failure.]
[Overall evaluation: In some sense, you could be considered a winner in life.]
[Your reward has been issued and is available for viewing.]
[Please choose between two talents: "Alchemist (Purple)" or "Demolition Expert (Blue)" as your permanent skill.]
Lucas naturally chose [Alchemist] for a simple reason. Without it, the [Philosopher\'s Stone] he\'d acquired earlier would have been nearly useless.
When he opened his eyes, Lucas found himself back in Jean\'s office.
Even though he had returned to reality, it took him half a minute to mutter, "What was I doing before all this?"
It wasn\'t that Lucas had a bad memory. Although this simulation wasn\'t as lengthy as the last one, he\'d still lived through an entire life, and it took a moment to shake off the immersion from the previous character.
[Friendly Reminder: You\'ve resolved the trouble with Lawrence, acquired a blacksmith shop, and are now preparing to report back to Grand Master Jean at the Knights of Favonius.]
The system helpfully offered a reminder.
"This feature\'s not bad!" Lucas praised with a nod. "Keep it up next time, saves me from spacing out after leaving the simulator."
However, Jean still hadn\'t shown up, likely kept up late dealing with yesterday\'s case.
Well, since there was nothing urgent, Lucas decided to check out what rewards he\'d received from the simulation.
Honestly, even the rewards from within the simulation had been pretty good, but no one ever complained about having too many rewards, right?
When he opened his inventory, to his surprise, he saw four A-rank loot boxes!
"No way!" Lucas exclaimed. "You\'re being this generous with rewards now?"
[If you think it\'s too much, I can always take them back.]
"Don\'t be like that!" Lucas laughed. "I\'ll combine three A-rank boxes into one S-rank box, and open it all at once."
[You\'ve opened an A-rank box and received the item: "Rhinedottir\'s Crucible."]
[Rhinedottir\'s Crucible]
[Grade: A]
[Effect: Any alchemical product made using this crucible will be enhanced by one grade.]
[Description: A crucible once used by the great alchemist Rhinedottir, known as the \'Gold.\' Though not inherently special, it has gained extraordinary power from being used to create many great alchemical works.]
Another alchemy-related item, huh?
"Wait a minute..." Lucas frowned, suddenly suspicious. "You didn\'t swipe this from somewhere again, did you?"
[What are you talking about? I\'m a proper system, not some petty thief!]
"Yeah, right," Lucas grumbled. "Last time, didn\'t you grab \'Raiden Mai\' from the Raiden Shogun\'s collection?"
[As long as it isn\'t discovered, it\'s not a crime!]
"I knew it..."
Even though the system\'s method of rewarding him seemed a little sketchy, since Rhinedottir had lived 500 years ago, taking her crucible probably wasn\'t a big deal.
[You\'ve opened the S-rank box and received the item: "Hero Klee vs. the Demon King."]
[Hero Klee vs. the Demon King]
[Grade: S]
[Exclusive to: Klee]
[Effect: Only Klee can use this item. With Klee\'s imagination, it might create unexpected miracles (This item can only be used by Klee. Giving it to her will significantly raise her affection for you).]
[Description: A picture book detailing the adventures of Brave Klee. Filled with fantasy and whimsy, it is Klee\'s most cherished treasure.]
