rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure, like an eagle, swiftly traversed the night, and familiar with the route, he arrived at a block of low-cost housing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, to maximize the utilization of building space, the room sizes were almost like pigeon coops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smallest single rooms were no larger than two square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could barely fit a single bed, where at night, one had to curl up and couldn't stretch their legs straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, these single rooms were jokingly referred to by ordinary people as coffin rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, they were free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as you were an orphan under eighteen, you could apply for one for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a single adult wanted to rent such a single room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rent alone would cost five thousand yuan a month!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other type of room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was a one-bedroom with a living room, only ten square meters in size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No air conditioning, no water heater, no washing machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kitchen, bathroom, and shower were all shared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A family squeezing into this cramped room like sardines in a can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monthly rent could be around ten thousand yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they only rented to families with children!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Single people didn't even have the qualification to rent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, according to Empire law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you were a multi-child family, a portion of the rent could be waived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you had three or more children, not only was the rent waived, but there were additional housing subsidies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the low-cost housing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You often saw a peculiar phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poorer the family, the more enthusiastic they were about having children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because as long as one child became a Simulator, the entire family's fate could change!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the familiar environment and everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of reminiscence appeared in Lu Yuan's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight years ago, he fled from Coastal City to here and finally had a place to settle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was just a small coffin room, it was better than drifting around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the manpower shortage of the Public Security Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This area of low-cost housing, with a population of over five thousand, had no Simulators stationed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people could only cover themselves with thick blankets, curling up in bed, gritting their teeth to endure the invasion and torment of the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the law enforcers of the Public Security Bureau passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could feel a moment of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Lu Yuan arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people noticed something unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight seemed much warmer than usual?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan climbed up the stairs to the fifth floor, then walked toward the innermost room on the left side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out a key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skillfully unlocked the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squeak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound wasn't loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the quiet darkness, it seemed particularly harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this apocalypse where anomalies were rampant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people dared not sleep too soundly and were usually in a half-asleep, half-awake state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The residents of this floor immediately woke up and quietly pulled out cleavers or weapons from under their beds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until they saw Lu Yuan's familiar figure through the window seam, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some astute people immediately thought of one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Simulators could move freely at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Lu Yuan returning late at night, unscathed by the dark invasion and threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had successfully passed the life simulation and became a full-fledged Simulator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the thought of this possibility, everyone's heart beat fiercely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, candle lights started to illuminate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Outer City had no Spiritual Track Array to protect it, many basic infrastructures were unusable at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only expensive specially made candles could illuminate the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven't seen you for days, Xiaoyuan is getting more and more handsome, no wonder my daughter always thinks of you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaofeng, come over and say hello to your brother Lu Yuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man holding a candle furiously signaled to his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his eagerness to nurture his daughter into a socialite, he completely forgot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daughter merely said a few more words to Lu Yuan and was locked up at home for three days, unable to go out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Yuan, back so late? Hungry? How about Aunt Wang cooks you some supper?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Wang may have been wrong in some ways before, don't take it to heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged woman with a face full of flesh stood at the door, speaking nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan looked at her calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During last year's Spring Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He passed by their door on his way home from school, just because he accidentally smelled the scent of meat drifting from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was scolded for over half a month by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the same fierce shrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now wore a cramped and ingratiating smile, warmly inviting Lu Yuan to her home for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were the old Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps a scene of a triumphant return and revenge would play out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With decades of simulation experience, he had long lost interest in such low-grade thrills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these bullies who yield to force but bully the weak, who are arrogant and then humble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The best solution is to ignore them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dimly lit, cramped room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only a bed, no other furniture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan crouched down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retrieved a metal box from under the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside were over two thousand pieces of paper money, some award certificates, and a yellowed photograph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the yellowed photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than thirty children stood at the entrance of an old building, their faces beaming with wide smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the building's plaque, five large characters were engraved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn Welfare Institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the moment Lu Yuan touched the photo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole photo seemed to ignite, suddenly burning violently, emitting billowing black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly ordinary photo, now in his hand, felt like a hot iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan's hand shook, and he instinctively tossed the photo onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the fire, though dramatic in appearance, couldn't cause any real damage to its surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Yuan looked at the photo again, he couldn't help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill rose from his tailbone, rushing straight to his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the photo, besides himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the children's faces slowly disappeared, leaving only a group of eerie faceless figures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did their faces vanish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan stared at the photo, feeling a bone-chilling cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had crossed into this world eight years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reasons unknown, he remembered very little from before he was ten years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the jumbled fragments of memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely remembered that one day, Dawn Welfare Institute was suddenly engulfed by a fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As people scattered in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kindly old director suddenly shoved this photo into his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This photo was very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what circumstances arose, he must always keep this photo with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seriousness of his tone, the resolve in his gaze, as if entrusting a mission to save the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Made it a lasting memory for Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For all these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Lu Yuan fled or moved, he always took this photo with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he had just finished a simulation and returned to his old low-cost housing precisely for this reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what Lu Yuan didn't expect was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly ordinary group photo would undergo such a cataclysmic change!\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-05-30T16:06:46.715Z","2026-06-01T04:31:38.847Z",1,"novelbin.me","5342da99c0c439edcf72c9c38a3731998c10fe2656e5e252c69da4604d347b4d","let-you-simulate-life-but-you-change-fate-every--chapter-36","let-you-simulate-life-but-you-change-fate-every--chapter-34",1186,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flet-you-simulate-life-but-you-change-fate-every--cover.jpg"]
