Chapter 2: Simulated World and Fantasy Realization
Brand’s wasteful behavior made Yersin, who had long been dissatisfied, propose to Mr. Holland to limit Brand’s food and clothing expenses.
What moved Brand more was that Yersin's proposal was rejected by Mr. Holland without a second thought.
In Mr. Holland's opinion, if a nobleman is not extravagant, then he can still be called a nobleman!
If you have a big business, you can't afford Brand's expenses?
This is completely questioning my Mr. Holland’s ability to accumulate wealth!
However, under Yersin's tireless persuasion, Mr. Holland gradually wavered.
At one point, Yersin heard that Brand hit his head on a pillar while playing with a maid and fell into a coma.
Viscount Holland finally felt that Yersen's words did make sense.
——Apart from the "basic qualities" of being a descendant of a noble family, Brand is indeed a bit too uneducated!
Playing with the maid can still make yourself bloody?
This is too weak!
Regardless of Brand's waste of family property, Viscount Holland didn't care about Brand's expenses.
He was just a little worried about the future of his second son.
You know, Brand can't inherit his title and territory, and he will go out independently in the future!
Even though he is taking care of her, life will not be easy in the future if she is so ignorant and incompetent.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Viscount Holland planned two ways out for Brand.
The first is to marry the legitimate daughter of Count Romine to bring the Holland family and the Romine family closer together.
The second is to enter the Imperial Mage Academy, study seriously there, and then work hard to become an official mage.
Although mages are a noble and rare group of people, Brand also has the innate qualities to become a mage.
But considering Brand's always lazy character, Viscount Holland actually prefers the first option.
As the legitimate daughter of Earl Romine, if Brand can marry her, if nothing unexpected happens, then no matter how extravagant she is for the rest of her life, she will be able to have enough food and clothing.
With the two families working together, it was easy to give Brand the title of fiefdom baron. At most, the territory would be a little remote.
Although the Romine family ranks low among the earl families, Brand, the second son of the viscount, is actually somewhat unworthy of being the legitimate daughter of the earl family.
However, who told Brand to be handsome? Viscount Holland heard more than once at noble banquets that Viscount So-and-so and Earl So-and-so revealed to him their daughter's "favour" of Brand.
Perhaps he was a little confused at first. How could his uneducated second son have any shining points that could be favored by others?
However, after listening more, Viscount Holland gradually came to realize that it was those girls who were attracted by Brand's handsome appearance!
Viscount Holland is still very satisfied with Brand's handsome appearance. After all, it is inherited from his excellent bloodline.
Viscount Holland showed great interest in the overt and covert hints of these noble friends!
Marriage between nobles is common. This kind of thing is usually led by the parents of both parties. It involves various alliances of interests, and the wishes of the parties involved have very little weight in it.
After some screening, Earl Romine, who had many business cooperations, came into his eyes.
Because they have many contacts in business, the Holland family has many benefits from being able to marry him.
It just so happened that his daughter also fell in love with Brand.
It is my eldest son who seems to have been pursuing someone else's legitimate daughter.
After hesitating for a second, Viscount Holland made up his mind.
In the face of the development of the family, these trivial matters of personal relationships between children are not important! I believe that Yersen, who aims to revitalize the family, will understand!
In short, as long as Brand agrees, the matter is almost done.
However, what made Holland feel very regretful was that Brand finally chose to study hard at the Magic Academy and become a mage.
Viscount Holland finally expressed his full support for Brand's choice.
Although he doubts whether his lazy second son can become a mage through his own efforts.
However, it was Brand's own choice after all. For his youngest son's few progressive actions, he only felt happy and expectant in his heart.
Of course, there is absolutely no reason why Brand is still young...
cough!
Maybe it can't be said that there is none.
After all, matters like marriage generally have to wait until the person concerned reaches the age of 18.
In the opinion of Mr. Holland, given the strict assessment system of the Imperial Mage Academy, if Brand is lazy, he will be expelled from the academy soon.
When the time comes, the age will be just right for us to come back and get married.
And if Brand really becomes an official mage, that would be the best. The marriage partners can be replaced by a batch of better ones!
In short, Brand entered the Imperial Mage Academy and then unlocked the golden finger that comes standard for time travelers - the simulated world during a meditation class.
The so-called simulated world was a world with no boundaries and nothing at the very beginning.
Brand has the highest control over this world and can enter it at any time through meditation, achieving a "quantum superposition state" where the body exists in the simulated world and the real world at the same time.
In the simulated world, Brand has the authority of a creator, and can use his existing "knowledge" to consume relatively little mental power and create things out of thin air.
When Brand spent a full twenty days creating a huge star that continuously undergoes nuclear fusion reactions, Brand became obsessed with that kind of creation.
——He is creating the world!
As an extremely ordinary descendant of a noble family, Brand felt extremely excited and proud at that moment!
——He is so great!
After a period of hard work, the simulated world has eight planetary systems like the solar system, one of which was named Aquamarine by Brand.
After that, after a long period of uninterrupted efforts.
Two-thirds of Aquamarine's planet surface is a deep blue ocean, and the other third is lush land.
In addition to the natural land on the land, what is more conspicuous is a modern city like C City where Brand lived in his previous life.
——This is Brand’s proud work.
If it weren't for learning to meditate, Brand's memory would have been greatly enhanced.
He was afraid that it would be difficult to create this city.
And if there is any fundamental difference between the simulated world and the earth before time travel, it is that there are no animals.
After testing, the simulated world cannot create any self-aware creatures, and Brand cannot bring self-aware life into it.
So the only creatures in the simulated world are plants.
Brand had worried more than once about whether there would be any bad problems in a world with an incomplete biosphere, but as time passed, he looked away.
——In any case, the most that can be done is to tear it down and start over again.
And let’s talk about what benefits the golden finger of the simulated world can bring to Brand.
The cappuccino in Brand's hand is one of the benefits.
With Brand's current good mental state, as long as he consumes all the upper limit of his mental power, he can bring this approximately 300 ml cup of liquid cappuccino to the outside world and to himself.
From the perspective of the real world, this is a fantasy that can be called a miracle!
