The first condition: Only female Arrancars with high enough beauty are qualified to join the King's Guard.
The second condition: Only female Arrancars with strength at or above the Dou Ancestor level can join the King's Guard.
In addition to being responsible for protecting Xiao Feng's life, the King's Guard also needs to take care of his daily life, such as bathing him, changing his clothes, warming his bed, and helping him vent his frustrations.
After settling Saber and the others, Xiao Feng summoned the homunculus [Illya].
Illya is an adorable little loli with long silver hair and ruby-like red eyes, dressed in a proper purple dress.
"Gulp!"
Feeling the unfathomable aura emanating from Xiao Feng, Illya nervously swallowed and timidly called out, "M-Master."
"Don't be nervous, I don't bite."
Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled and patted Illya's little head, using his psychic power to carefully scan her body structure.
Illya is a very special existence. Although she is an artificial lifeform created by the Einzbern family, she is also the crystallization of alchemy born from Irisviel's womb, making her both a homunculus and a human.
In a way, Illya is more similar to the biological imperial arms Xiao Feng has crafted, except she has the added ability to bear children.
With Xiao Feng's current level of artifact crafting, it took him less than five minutes to reverse-engineer most of the alchemy used to create her by analyzing her body structure.
Now, all that's left is for his shadow clones to fully comprehend the alchemy he has reverse-engineered, and they can start crafting similar artificial lifeforms.
"Alright, you've worked hard."
Xiao Feng rubbed Illya's little head and said, "You can go rest now. From now on, Heracles will be responsible for taking care of you."
"Thank you, Master."
Hearing this, Illya's eyes lit up, and she smiled happily.
Heracles was originally the Servant summoned by Illya, and to her, he is somewhat like a father figure.
Moreover, since Heracles has been transformed into an Arrancar and regained his self-awareness, taking care of Illya will be easy for him.
After storing Illya in the Hueco Mundo, Xiao Feng took out the skill orb representing [Golden Needle Magic].
[Golden Needle Magic] is a unique alchemy of the Einzbern family, which can turn metal wires or hair into familiars to attack enemies.
Although [Golden Needle Magic] isn't particularly powerful, Xiao Feng still decided to learn it to broaden his knowledge.
As for the remaining simulation rewards, they were too trivial and were tossed into the storage warehouse of the Hueco Mundo.
After handling all the simulation rewards, Xiao Feng turned his attention back to his character attribute panel.
"Continue the simulation!"
Looking at the three remaining simulation opportunities, Xiao Feng decisively initiated his thirty-fifth simulation.
"Ding! Randomly selecting a simulation world..."
Under Xiao Feng's slightly expectant gaze, the text in the selection box rapidly changed, eventually settling on bold characters—Mr. Vampire!
"Ding! Please choose the simulation method!"
[Text Projection Simulation (No Cost)]
[Body Projection Simulation (Cost: 20 Billion Merit Points)]
"Damn it! Do I, a poor guy, even have a choice?"
Xiao Feng cursed inwardly and once again chose the free [Text Projection Simulation].
"Ding! Text projection simulation starting!"
[Day 1: You realize that you seem to have traveled through time. Judging from the architectural style and the clothing of the people around you, you feel that you have traveled to the Republic of China era.]
[Day 2: To fill your stomach and figure out the era you're in, you decide to work as a waiter at a newly opened café in the town.]
[Day 3: When you accidentally overhear customers talking about the town's richest man, Ren Fa, and his only daughter, Ren Tingting, you immediately realize that you've traveled into the world of Mr. Vampire.
After carefully recalling the original plot, you quickly come up with an opportunity to make a fortune—saving Ren Fa from the vampire that was once his father, Old Master Ren.
You could also wait for Ren Fa to be killed by the vampire and then try to play the hero for Ren Tingting, ultimately gaining both wealth and beauty. However, after some thought, you dismiss this unreliable idea.
After all, you have no foundation in this world, and Ren Tingting is a naive young lady.
If Ren Fa were to die, you and Ren Tingting alone would not be able to protect the Ren family's assets.
In the end, even if you won Ren Tingting's heart, you would likely end up "committing suicide" with eight gunshot wounds to the back, and Ren Tingting and the Ren family's wealth would fall into the hands of someone like Captain Ah Wei.
Therefore, you must find a way to save Ren Fa and use this opportunity to marry into the Ren family, allowing you to quickly establish yourself in this world...]**
[Day 28: After working at the café for over half a month, you finally see Uncle Nine and his disciple Wen Cai arrive.
When you notice Ren Tingting about to prank Uncle Nine and Wen Cai, you pretend to be offended by her bullying behavior and warn Uncle Nine, successfully earning his goodwill.
After her prank fails, Ren Tingting redirects her anger at Wen Cai toward you and starts deliberately making things difficult for you.
However, you remain calm and effortlessly handle her provocations.
When Ren Fa returns from his meeting with Huang Million and sees your refined demeanor, he can't help but curiously ask about your background.
Facing Ren Fa's questions, you recount the backstory you've already prepared.
You say that you were originally the son of a wealthy family and were sent abroad to study for several years, where you learned many advanced things.
Unfortunately, when you returned from abroad, you found that your family had been ruined by a despotic warlord.
To prevent the warlord from finishing the job, you had to leave your hometown and plan to earn some startup capital before attempting to rebuild your fortune through business.
Upon learning that you are a highly educated returnee from abroad, Ren Fa and the others look at you with newfound respect.
Even Ren Tingting, who initially looked down on you, does a complete 180 in her attitude toward you.
After all, Ren Tingting only attended school in the provincial capital and already feels superior because of it, let alone encountering someone like you who has studied abroad. She can't help but ask you about life overseas.
Ren Fa is also very curious about foreign matters and warmly invites you to sit down and join them for a meal.
Under the curious gazes of everyone, you begin to weave a mix of truth and lies, combining information about foreign countries you remember from your previous life with the realities of this era.]
