Su Ye looked at the available talents for this simulation.

[█████: ██████████]
...
There were two green talents this time, which seemed better than last time.
The last option was just a series of blocks, and Su Ye skipped it immediately, knowing it was probably something bad.
After a while, she made her selections.
[Flash of Insight (Green)]
[Piano Aura (Green)]
[Thinker (White)]
Ding!
[Choices confirmed. Would you like to spend storyline points to enhance the simulation?]
[Note: The more points you spend, the higher your chances of receiving rewards.]
[Warning: In the formal simulation, each day will cost 10 storyline points. If your points reach zero, the simulation will end automatically.]
"Forget it, no need to enhance it..."
She only had 30 points left, so it would be better to save them and try to make the simulation last for 3 days.
[Simulation begins...]
Day 1:
You took the entrance exam. Although the questions were difficult, you recognized some of the answers, relying on your memory to make your selections.
At 4:30 PM, you went to the school's music room to practice piano. Though you had no foundation, you learned quickly, memorizing and mastering the piano keys.
When you got home, you watched free piano tutorial videos online.
Day 2:
In the morning, the test results came out, and you ranked fifth from the bottom. Your classmates looked at you with strange expressions, clearly disappointed in your performance.
At lunch, you skipped the cafeteria and bought bread at the supermarket, eating alone in the classroom. You didn't feel full.
In the evening, you met Cheng Hui from Class 18 outside the school gate. He tried to stop you and confess his feelings.
"Ugh… it's this guy again," Su Ye gritted her teeth.
She didn’t know Cheng Hui at all—had he been eyeing her for some time?
Fortunately, the rest of the situation relieved her.
[You showed a frightened expression, took a few steps back, and suddenly turned around to escape back into the school. Cheng Hui didn’t chase after you; he just thought you were cute.]
That evening, you practiced the piano for two hours in the music room, only to realize that the school gate had already closed.
You choose...
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
1. Keep practicing until you're done and then go to sleep.
2. Climb over the wall to go home.
3. Practice the piano first, then climb over the wall to go home after midnight.
"Umm..."
If this weren't a life simulation, Su Ye almost felt like she was playing a game.
"I choose option 3."
[You continue practicing the piano until late in the evening, improving your skills.]
At 9:00 PM, you left the piano room and approached the back wall of the school. You attempted to climb over, but halfway up, you realized you didn’t have the strength. After several attempts, you fell and scraped yourself. At that moment, a teacher on night patrol passed by and noticed you.
[You broke the rules, but the teacher decided to give you a chance and let you leave without any punishment.]
Back home, you faced difficult homework questions, but you resolutely refused to cheat.
Day 3:
When you arrived at school in the morning, you noticed that most of your classmates hadn’t done their homework. The homeroom teacher scolded the entire class, but no one seemed to care except you, who lowered your head in shame.
During the morning class, you listened attentively. During music class, you told your teacher about your desire to learn piano. She agreed to spare some time to teach you but emphasized that you must work hard.
During the afternoon break, you practiced the piano.
After school, the teacher allowed you to practice for two more hours before leaving.
You accidentally exceeded the time limit, and your piano skills increased by 1.
You choose...
1. Continue practicing the piano and go to sleep when done.
2. Climb over the wall to go home.
3. Practice the piano first, then climb over the wall to go home after midnight.
Su Ye: "Option 1."
[You continue practicing the piano until you're tired, then do your homework, but the questions are too difficult, and you don’t know any of the answers.]
Day 4:
Ding! Due to insufficient storyline points, you cannot continue.
[This life simulation has ended.]
[Your rating: D-]
[You gained storyline points: 20.]
[In this simulation, your piano skills improved to some extent.]
[Achievement unlocked: Love for Music. Reward: Storyline points ×100.]
[Achievement unlocked: Safety from Danger. Reward: Storyline points ×100.]
[Due to your participation in the exam, you remember more of the test answers.]
[Congratulations! You have earned the reward: Perfect Pitch.]
[You have unlocked the musical talent and the skill: Piano LV2.]
...
"It's over."
In her mind, Su Ye felt like she had gained a lot of piano knowledge and skill.
She was excited as she looked at her hands.
Her fingers were long and exceptionally nimble—perfect for playing the piano.
"Looks like the things I gained from the simulation can really be brought into reality."
Su Ye felt a sense of joy in her heart.
She now had a rough idea of how to avoid Cheng Hui. All she had to do was leave school later after class and skip the cafeteria during lunch tomorrow.
As for the rest of the time, if she followed the normal trajectory of life, she shouldn’t encounter him again.
"Today’s simulation chance is used up."
Next, it was time for the first day's classes.
Su Ye remained silent throughout, unable to focus on the lessons.
If it had been the old her, she would have paid careful attention to the class.
But now, her mind was elsewhere.
The morning classes were a tough slog.
At lunch, light rain began to fall outside the window.
She hesitated, wondering if she should brave the rain to go to the cafeteria. A girl sitting next to her pulled out an umbrella.
"Want to go together?" she smiled slightly.
"Thanks," Su Ye nodded quickly.
"Follow me."
Without much conversation, the two of them headed outside.
