Shen Yi quickly scanned through the options, immediately eliminating choices A and D. As for eating, even his real self hadn't eaten, so what would a simulation eat? He directly clicked B for taking initiative.
[You decide to take the initiative to actively search for Fu Nanzhi.]
[You leave your workstation, exit the Advertising Department, and take the elevator to the 11th floor where the Legal Department is located.]
[The Legal Department isn't large, with fewer staff than your Advertising Department. As a new face, many people look up and stare at you when you enter.]
[A legal intern runs over to ask what brings you here, and faced with his inquiry, you choose...]
A. Quietly ask him about Fu Nanzhi, claiming you need to see her
B. Shout: "Fu Nanzhi! Stop hiding inside, I know you're here!"
C. Apologize for coming to the wrong department and leave
D. Make an excuse about a broken printer and ask to use theirs
E. Act freely
Shen Yi twirls a pen skillfully in his hand, feeling that both options A and D could work.
The first option means directly looking for her, while the fourth means investigating on his own.
After some thought, Shen Yi decides on A - might as well meet Fu Nanzhi first and see what happens.
[When you mention needing to see Fu Nanzhi, the intern gives you a surprised look, seemingly doubting that you would know her.]
[Despite his doubts, he leads you to Fu Nanzhi's office.]
[You see "Legal Counsel" written on the door plate.]
[After the intern leaves, you gather your courage and knock on the door.]
[A brief female voice from inside says "Come in," and you push open the door.]
[Upon entering, the woman behind the desk is intently focused on some documents in her hands, not even looking up as she tells you to please have a seat.]
[Seeing she's busy, you're content to take your time and sit on the sofa, which gives you a good angle to observe her.]
[She sits perfectly straight in her chair, her professional pencil skirt outfit perfectly accentuating her figure. Her hair is elegantly tied up in a high bun, simple yet sophisticated.]
[You find yourself mesmerized by her beautiful white profile. Even though she wears somewhat old-fashioned black-framed glasses, they don't detract from her beauty.]
[Her fair wrists move gracefully, her fingers long and slender. The only sound in the room is the rustling of papers as she turns them.]
[You're stunned by her beauty, beginning to doubt your original intentions - is she really someone you can successfully pursue?]
'Finally meeting the main character, after all this waiting,' Shen Yi sighs as his simulated self finally makes contact with Fu Nanzhi.
[Shortly after, Fu Nanzhi finishes reviewing the documents and looks up at you.]
[Looking at you, confusion flashes across her face, and after repeated confirmation, she hesitantly asks if you know each other.]
[You shake your head, indicating you haven't met before.]
[Hearing your answer, Fu Nanzhi noticeably relaxes, then asks about your purpose for visiting.]
[Faced with Fu Nanzhi's inquiry, you choose...]
A. "I've been searching for you desperately," then drop to one knee and immediately confess your love
B. Seriously introduce yourself and boldly express your admiration
C. Take it slow, use legal consultation as an excuse to gradually get closer
D. Act freely
After spending too long browsing at his workstation, Shen Yi decides to use his second strategy - the paid bathroom break.
Sitting on the toilet, Shen Yi quickly rules out option A - only a crazy person would accept a confession at first meeting, and an instant rejection would likely end the simulation immediately.
As for B and C, they represent two different approaches - one direct and open, the other subtle and gradual.
Both methods could theoretically work, with no strict advantages or disadvantages.
After consideration, Shen Yi feels he knows too little about Fu Nanzhi and decides to play it safe by choosing C to take things slowly.
Just as his hand moves to select it, Shen Yi stops, suddenly remembering he hasn't unlocked Fu Nanzhi's characteristic preferences.
He couldn't do it before since he couldn't even find her, but now it's a good time to check and use as reference.
"Would you like to spend 1 pursuit point to unlock characteristic preferences?"
"Yes."
Name: Fu Nanzhi
Characteristic preferences: Perfectionist, Self-disciplined, Face-blind, Strongly desires, Shy, Flower arranging, Swimming.
"This..."
The unlocked characteristics leave Shen Yi amazed - he never imagined such hidden aspects beneath Fu Nanzhi's perfect exterior.
This gives Shen Yi an exciting sense of discovering secrets, as these strange conflicting traits make Fu Nanzhi seem like a walking contradiction.
"She's actually face-blind? Like, literally face-blind?" Shen Yi mutters.
These days too many people claim to be face-blind, making it hard to tell what's genuine.
Originally planning to take the subtle approach, now these characteristics give Shen Yi some inspiration - perhaps he should be direct instead.
His finger circles in the air before finally landing on option B.
[Facing her question, you seriously introduce yourself - your name, department, age - then compliment her beauty and express your desire to get to know her.]
[Your response doesn't particularly surprise her; she seems quite used to such situations.]
[Fu Nanzhi first thanks you for the compliment, then expresses her position - she currently has no interest in dating, preferring to focus on her career.]
[Her response is both considerate of your feelings and perfectly proper, leaving you disappointed but unable to feel truly dejected.]
[She politely stands to see you out, and you return to your workstation resignedly.]
[Fu Nanzhi saw through your intentions.]
[Confession failed!]
"Simulation ended!"
"System calculating results..."
...
[Overall Grade: D]
[Reward: Your pursuit experience has increased]
[System Comment: A brave attempt, but your intentions were revealed too early.]
[Review Scene?] [Restart Simulation?]
"Damn... I just wanted to get to know her, isn't this too decisive?" Shen Yi slaps his thigh and complains. Fu Nanzhi is too resolute, firmly rejecting him as soon as he showed the slightest intention.
He'd always heard that good girls reject firmly when they're not interested, while ambiguous responses tend to come from players.
Now Shen Yi wishes Fu Nanzhi were more of a player - at least then he'd have some chance.
It's disappointing that both simulations received such low grades, with basically no good rewards.
Shen Yi starts to miss Jian Leyi - that girl was easier to deal with, just needed money.
Sighing, Shen Yi enters the scene review.
In the scene, after reaching the 11th floor and being led by the intern, Shen Yi knocks on Fu Nanzhi's door.
The moment he sees Fu Nanzhi, all his previous regrets vanish.
The text simulation didn't do justice to the impact of seeing her in person - being stunned wasn't just a figure of speech.
Shen Yi estimates Fu Nanzhi's height at between 165-170cm, with tight skin and a slim waist. Most notably, her chest is firm and eye-catching, her white shirt stretched taut with the outer blazer barely able to button.
Like her characteristics, her body is also a contradiction, combining a mature woman's figure with the tight skin of a young girl.
From her posture to her manners, everything speaks of excellent self-discipline, every movement ingrained into her very being.
When Fu Nanzhi looks at him, Shen Yi suspects she really is face-blind.
Though she maintains composure while trying to recognize him, her confused gaze tells Shen Yi she can't identify him.
Normal people can tell strangers with just a glance.
Only those with face blindness repeatedly observe others, trying to judge and confirm through other small details.
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
