Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

[Three years have passed, today is an important day!]

Under the life simulator's intervention, time in the simulation was fast-forwarded.

Learning, practicing... playing, and being pampered!

Time flew by, and daily life with Ganyu replayed like a revolving lantern in his mind.

At the end of these scenes, three years had passed.

When Nathan came to his senses, he noticed significant changes in himself.

Simply put, changes in height and development.

Thanks to the life simulator's power, three years felt like the snap of a finger to Nathan.

But in the simulation, he had genuinely experienced three years.

He was now a head taller than before, his features gradually losing their childishness.

He was still in Cloud Retainer's adeptus abode.

But the interior layout was vastly different from before.

Elegant walls, paired with automatically adjusting tables and chairs.

Below, two rolling spheres moved about, looking very much like robot vacuums from his previous life.

Above, floating elemental chandeliers that naturally adjusted the light.

Looking at all this, it seemed like a cyberpunk scene.

[After mastering Advanced Mechanistic Arts, you renovated the abode!]

The life simulator responded in his mind - so he was the one who had transformed the dwelling.

"Mmm..."

At this moment, from the bedroom area separated from the main hall, came a sweet murmur.

An elegant figure emerged from the bedroom.

It was Ganyu, who had also grown over these three years.

Perhaps having worked hard to lose weight, she no longer had that chubby feeling.

Her height now matched that of an eleven or twelve-year-old child, the little girl beginning to grow gracefully.

Her delicate features already showed the embryonic form of her future stunning beauty.

"Nathan, you snuck out again last night!"

More importantly, the little one could now converse fluently.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Ganyu adorably puckered her lips, looking at Nathan with annoyance.

"Uh..."

Hearing the questioning, Nathan was at a loss, not knowing what had happened.

But hearing how she addressed him, he felt these three years of growth had brought enormous changes in her.

Where had the previous Ganyu gone, the one who would hug him and call him "brother" so sweetly?

"Sorry... Ganyu!!!"

Seeing her approach with such momentum, he figured apologizing first couldn't be wrong.

In response, Ganyu threw herself at him.

"Hmph... Nathan, you're not allowed to go anywhere tonight, you must stay by my side when sleeping!"

Her delicate body hugged his arm, squeezing it with force.

This feeling was like the moves Ningguang and Keqing had used in reality.

Wait, no???

Nathan shook his head violently, quickly banishing that thought.

His adoptive sister was so cute, she definitely wouldn't be as willful as Ningguang and Keqing.

"Mmm... if you don't answer, I'll take it as agreement!"

"By the way, Ganyu... why don't you call me brother anymore?"

Nathan reviewed the three years of memories in his mind, noticing that since the little one became aware, she seemed to have completely dropped the "brother" address.

"Hmph, I just like calling your name, is that not allowed?"

The little one buried her head, not letting Nathan see her expression.

Her small qilin horns bumped against his waist playfully.

"Fine, calling my name is okay too!"

Since Ganyu didn't want to answer, Nathan couldn't press further.

"But speaking of which, what makes this important day the simulator mentioned so significant?"

While stroking the little one's soft hair, Nathan wondered in his mind.

[The Dust God Guizhong and the Geo God Morax are on their way to visit the abode!]

Hearing the names of these two gods, Nathan's heart trembled.

No wonder it was called an important day - these two gods were heavyweights!

"Cloud Retainer, we've come to visit!"

Just then, a pleasant voice came from outside.

It was a woman's voice, sounding as gentle as flowing water.

"Mmm???"

Hearing this voice, Ganyu carefully hid behind Nathan.

"Cloud Retainer... are you not home?"

The woman's voice came again. Nathan looked around, indeed not seeing Cloud Retainer anywhere.

Having no choice, as the visitors were distinguished guests, he couldn't leave them waiting outside.

Nathan reluctantly raised his hand, elemental light glowing in his palm.

The barrier at the entrance of the abode disappeared accordingly.

"Cloud Retainer... so you are home, then why didn't you respond earlier!"

With a complaint, a slender figure emerged from the passage.

Looking over, Nathan saw a woman whose beauty rivaled that of the future Ganyu.

She wore plain white traditional clothing, most notable were the large sleeves on both sides.

Her gray-white hair was tied up, secured with a flower-shaped hairpin.

Though not all was tied up, with thin, long locks hanging down both sides.

She walked with light steps, her clothes floating gracefully.

Elegant eyebrows, phoenix eyes, jade cheeks, and cherry lips, approaching closer... like an immortal descending to the mortal world.

At this moment, verses from the Classic of Poetry floated in Nathan's mind.

As if possessed, he muttered them aloud:

"Reed branches sway gray and sere, white dew turns to frost here. That fair maiden dwelling there, stands by waters clear!"

Fortunately, his voice was very soft, and the person opposite probably didn't hear.

However, even if that fairy-like figure didn't hear, he couldn't ignore Ganyu behind him.

The little one didn't understand the meaning of the poetry, but her feminine intuition told her that Nathan was praising another woman's beauty.

"Hmph, Nathan, I'm angry!!!"

She raised her delicate right foot and stomped hard on Nathan's foot.

"Huh?"

Undoubtedly, he didn't know why the little one was angry.

"*giggle*"

However, the approaching woman saw this scene and let out a bell-like laugh.

"Little Ganyu, where's your master?"

The woman spoke, but Ganyu only responded by hiding.

"Haha, don't you recognize big sister? I used to hold you when you were little... round and chubby, much cuter than now!"

Perhaps triggered by the last two words, the little one's face flushed red as she peeked out from behind Nathan.

"Sister Guizhong! Bad sister!"

Making a face at her, she quickly buried her face behind Nathan again.

"Well... my name is Guizhong. Don't listen to little Ganyu's nonsense, I'm a good person!"

As Ganyu stopped responding, seemingly afraid Nathan would misunderstand, the woman introduced herself.

"Hello Guizhong, my name is Nathan, and I'm somewhat of a disciple to Cloud Retainer!"

Unlike the little one, Nathan politely addressed her.

The Dust God Guizhong, this character who never appeared in the game, was only recorded in Liyue's ancient texts.

He never expected to encounter her here in Liyue three thousand years ago.
