Chapter 13: Simulate Again, Accumulate Spirit Stones!
[Longevity of a Hundred Years]: Green talent. You will live a healthy, pain-free life up to one hundred years.
Su Xing: "…"
Seeing the newly drawn green talent, Su Xing immediately felt like he had been screwed over.
What the hell is this longevity of a hundred years?
He was a cultivator; living to a hundred years would be considered an early death!
Moreover, the apocalypse was due in fifteen years; what good would it do to live that long?
Su Xing sighed.
His original intention had been to try his luck and see if he could draw a green-quality spiritual root talent.
After all, in the last simulation, the old man had said that his talent was poor, just a mixed five-element spiritual root.
If Su Xing's talent could be further improved, he might receive better rewards.
"Ah, what a waste, a thousand energy down the drain..."
Su Xing felt a bit heartbroken, but he still chose to continue the simulation.
[You received an order from a new freshman girl and went out for training.]
[For the next month, you diligently spent every day training newcomers, using your free time for cultivation.]
[Your Qi Refining Cultivation Level improved to Qi Refining Stage Four.]
[On November 18, New Era 2023, you set off for Jinling City.]
[The next day, you pretended to accidentally meet Jin Congxue outside the city.]
[Using the same trick, you asked Jin Congxue for Buddhist teachings and gained the opportunity to travel with her.]
[Taking a shortcut along a small path back to the city, you stumbled upon the Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon.]
[You both entered the "Qingyun Spirit Field" dungeon.]
[You accepted a task from an old man in the dungeon, and you began farming.]
[Because you seriously studied some farming knowledge, the spirit grains in your spirit field grew better than before.]
[In your spare time, you worked hard to improve your cultivation level, taught Jin Congxue farming knowledge, and used wood-attributed spiritual energy to help her farm.]
[Jin Congxue's affection for you greatly increased, and you became friends.]
[On the day to submit the task, the old man gave Jin Congxue fifteen spirit stones and ten pounds of spirit rice as a reward.]
[The old man asked you to place your hand on a transparent stone, testing that your talent was still a mixed five-element spiritual root.]
[The old man sighed and gave you thirty-five spirit stones and thirty pounds of spirit rice.]
[Unwilling to give up, you sought to become the old man's disciple.]
[The old man gently shook his head, bluntly told you that your aptitude was too poor, and you had no hope of immortality, then asked you to leave the dungeon.]
[You stayed in Jinling City for more than ten days and became very close friends with Jin Congxue.]
[You returned to Kyoto and continued selling equipment.]
[A few months later, Wang Qingxuan found you, and you used the same trick.]
[Five years passed, your business grew larger, and your assets reached a billion.]
[You kept the newly acquired thirty-five spirit stones and ten pounds of spirit rice.]
[In five years, your Qi Refining Cultivation Level advanced to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage, and your Body Refinement Cultivation Level advanced to Bone Forging Layer One.]
[Wang Qingxuan found you again and brought you the first half of the Changchun Technique. You refused to accept it and asked her to find the second half for you.]
[On the seventh year, your sister Su Nianan died, and you attended her funeral.]
[On the tenth year, your good brother Yu Yan died, and you attended his funeral.]
[On the eleventh year, the market fluctuated, and your assets increased tenfold.]
[You found Jin Congxue, with whom you had kept in contact over the years, and asked her for those fifteen spirit stones, which she gave to you for free.]
[On the fifteenth year, a giant beast descended.]
[You flipped off the giant beast.]
[The giant beast swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one gulp; you died at the age of thirty-six!]
[You activated the talent "Die with Regret"...]
[Ding, this simulation is over!]
[You can choose one of the following rewards: Longevity of a Hundred Years (Talent), Bone Forging Layer Two (Cultivation Level), Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage (Cultivation Level), fifty spirit stones (Item), ten pounds of spirit rice (Item).]
Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked at the rewards.
[Longevity of a Hundred Years]: Green talent, price 10,000 simulated energy points.
[Bone Forging Layer Two]: Cultivation Level, price 2,000 simulated energy points.
[Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage]: Cultivation Level, price 900 simulated energy points.
[Fifty spirit stones]: Item, price 50,000 simulated energy points.
[Ten pounds of spirit rice]: Item, price 10,000 simulated energy points.
Without hesitation, Su Xing chose the reward of fifty spirit stones. Although it cost him 50,000 simulated energy points, he was determined to get those stones.
Then Su Xing looked at the description of the spirit rice.
[Spirit Rice]: Rice nourished by spiritual energy and spiritual springs, sweet and delicious, can improve constitution and physique over long-term consumption and prolong life.
Seeing the description of the spirit rice, Su Xing's face showed a "just as I thought" expression.
The reason he had been able to break through to the Bone Forging Realm was rooted in this spirit rice.
However, this time in the simulation, he lost the fitness enthusiast talent, so his simulated realm wasn't as good as before.
"It looks like I need to change my plan; I need to stockpile not just spirit stones but also spirit rice..."
Su Xing squinted his eyes, thinking to himself.
"Riiiing~ Riiiing~"
At this moment, Su Xing's phone rang.
"Hello, Senior Su, do you have an appointment this afternoon? I'd like to ask you to help us level up!"
Su Xing nodded upon hearing this and replied,
"Sure, call Wang Qingxuan too; I'll help her level up together!"
"Okay, Senior!"
After packing up, Su Xing prepared to leave.
He soon saw six or seven beautifully dressed junior girls at the agreed location.
As well as Wang Qingxuan, who was hiding behind the crowd with some self-esteem issues.
Wang Qingxuan stood in the farthest corner, stealing glances at Su Xing, her pretty face slightly red.
Su Xing pretended not to notice and continued to kill monsters as usual.
During this period, whenever Su Xing went out to dungeons for training, he would often call Wang Qingxuan along and even allowed her to write IOUs to repay later.
The purpose was naturally to maintain a good relationship with Wang Qingxuan, as her lead on the mysterious organization was also very critical, relating to the latter half of the Changchun Technique, which Su Xing currently had no time to care about.
According to Su Xing's discovery, Wang Qingxuan had not yet come into contact with the mysterious organization; she was supposed to contact it in about ten months.
But that didn't affect Su Xing's ability to increase her favorability! It would come in handy one day.
Time passed quickly, and a week quietly went by.
In this week, Su Xing steadily earned less than half a million, all converted into simulated energy.
On October 28, New Era 2023, Su Xing prepared to simulate in his dorm room.
"Begin simulation!"
[Consumed 800 energy points, remaining energy 20870 points, remaining simulation counts none.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing white talent costs 100 energy points, drawing green talent costs 1,000 energy points. Do you want to draw?]
"Draw green talent."
Su Xing still wanted to try his luck. After all, a green-quality spiritual root talent was very important to him.
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining a green talent, Sword Dao Genius!]
(PS: A brief explanation: The Qingyun Spirit Field dungeon, according to the protagonist's information, is a limited-time dungeon that will disappear in a month... After this dungeon disappears, in the protagonist's perspective, there are no other channels to obtain spirit stones or spirit rice, so its priority is extremely high～)
