Apocalyptic Wasteland Simulator

Chapter 41: Humiliation! My Brother-In-Law Is One of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
Does this even require a choice?

Chen Pingchuan was somewhat disappointed with the simulator’s rigidity. After all, they had been together for a while. How could it still not understand his personality?

Am I the kind of person who fears power and authority? Take that Major General Hu. I gave him a thorough beating, and did he even make a peep? Didn’t he just die without a sound? This is absurd...

[You chose option B and gave the two unexpected guests a ”cordial” greeting.]

[The man in the suit ignored you, but Big Beard shot you an odd look.]

[Hearing your words, Xia Qingxue froze on the spot. She quickly recovered, rushing to cover your mouth and yelling at the man opposite her, ”Brother!”]

[You, a man who doesn’t know the meaning of embarrassment, felt your face stiffen for once. You couldn’t understand why Xia Qingxue was so terrified when it was clearly her own brother who had arrived.]

[But you were about to find out why.]

[Xia Qingxue begged her brother to spare your life, stating that she had never asked him for anything her entire life. This would be the first and last time.]

[Your brother-in-law ignored your transgression. Instead, he informed Xia Qingxue that their eldest sister was waiting for them. Her journey of growth had been more successful than expected, and she could return to officially assume the position of Young Palace Master.]

[Xia Qingxue stated that she did not want to go back. She just wanted to stay here quietly until she died, refusing to follow her sister’s path.]

[Her words angered your brother-in-law. He simply said, ”Either you leave, or he dies.” Then he fell silent, awaiting her decision.]

[Standing beside Xia Qingxue, you had a sudden realization. Although they were siblings, their statuses were completely unequal. As her significant other, you naturally had to step up.]

[You were stomped under your brother-in-law’s foot. If not for your substantial physical stats, you suspect your face would have been flattened.]

[What terrified you even more was that you didn’t even see how he had managed to pin you to the ground.]

[Seeing your miserable state, Xia Qingxue’s face went deathly pale. She finally understood the heart-wrenching pain that took her breath away. Suppressing her grief and fury, she angrily chastised her brother.]

[Her words were as follows.]

[”As one of the few top powerhouses in the Great Ming Empire, a War Mechanical Knight known as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, is this really how you treat an ordinary person?”]

Chen Pingchuan fumed, simultaneously marveling at the changes in the latest update.

Even though that was just my simulated self, and even though every run ends in death, being trampled underfoot like that... This assault on my dignity is completely unacceptable.

Besides the loli, Chen Pingchuan’s blacklist now included a brother-in-law with whom he had an extremely poor relationship.

I don’t care who you are or what background you have, but you’ve made an enemy of my future self. The moment my combat power is great enough to crush you, I will teach you the meaning of brutality.

Chen Pingchuan sat on the stool, gritting his teeth in anger. This feud was now a serious one.

[Your opponent flashed back to his previous position. Your brother-in-law told Xia Qingxue that if she returned with him now, he would spare your life. Otherwise, he would grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes.]

[Xia Qingxue agreed to his terms, preparing to leave you to protect you as per your prior agreement.]

[Catching them off guard, you hurled all the Mind-Scrambling Potions from your waist in a single motion.]

[Perhaps out of disdain, or perhaps because they couldn’t imagine an ant like you could possibly harm them, neither your brother-in-law nor Big Beard took a defensive stance.]

[Looking at them, you knew they were overconfident in their power. Sure enough, just as the potions were about to hit them, a translucent blue energy shield materialized, deflecting the vials.]

[Both sides were laughing. Big Beard laughed at your ignorance, for you didn’t even know about a basic defensive measure like an energy shield. You, in turn, laughed at their arrogance, for they were oblivious to the simple physical principle that gas spreads through the air.]

[As the vials shattered, the liquid from the Mind-Scrambling Potions instantly vaporized, drifting into their nostrils.]
