Chapter 34: A New Simulation Cycle, Contacting the Da Xia Military
After bidding farewell to Jin Congxue, Su Xing returned alone to his dormitory.
Firstly, he converted all ninety thousand pieces of white-quality equipment within the storage ring into energy.
Su Xing's luck proved favorable as these ninety thousand white-grade pieces brought him close to 500,000 energy points.
Thus, Su Xing's energy value once again reached 510,000 points.
With sufficient energy at his disposal, Su Xing decisively chose to initiate the simulation.
On the eve of the new year in 2023, merely fifteen years away from the impending catastrophe of the world's end caused by the arrival of colossal beasts, Su Xing embarked on his sixteenth simulation of life.
"Commence simulation!"
[Energy consumed this time: 1600 points. Remaining energy: 508,000 points. No remaining simulation attempts.]
"Simulation initiated!"
"Extracting green-grade talent costs 1000 energy points. Would you like to proceed?"
"Extract the green-grade talent!"
Without a doubt, Su Xing chose to extract a talent of green quality.
Ding Congratulations, you have acquired the green-grade talent, 'Majestic Demeanor.'
'Majestic Demeanor': A green-grade talent that exudes a more robust and appealing aura, garnering favor from the opposite sex.
Upon seeing this green-grade talent, Su Xing was momentarily taken aback. Subsequently, he muttered in exasperation, "This talent serves barely any purpose!... Do I really need this?"
Su Xing commenced the simulation.
"In the dormitory, you became aware of your simulation."
"Your innate talent has granted you a significant advantage in this area."
"Taking advantage of the solitude around, you entered the Spiritual Field."
"You began refining Beautification Pills. It took you five days to refine twenty-two batches, prepared for your upcoming trade with Jin Congxue next week."
"After completing the pill refinement, you proceeded with your daily cultivation. Due to your exceptional talent and ample spiritual grains, it only took you two days to break through to the first level of Bone Forging."
"Two days later, Jin Congxue found you. You handed over two hundred Beautification Pills to her, and in return, she provided over a hundred thousand pieces of white-quality equipment."
"However, realizing that white-grade equipment had become useless due to your ongoing simulation, you requested Jin Congxue to invest all the proceeds from the sales into the construction of the Tarot Society."
"Despite her confusion, Jin Congxue agreed."
"Over the next month, you spent two hours daily honing your physique, four hours refining pills, and another two tending to and cultivating the farmland."
"After a month, your physique cultivation advanced to the second level of Bone Forging."
"Injecting ample funds and with Jin Congxue's proficient business talent, your Tarot Society was established."
"You designated Jin Congxue as the nominal owner of the Tarot Society while remaining concealed in the background."
"One year passed, and your physique cultivation reached the fifth level of Bone Forging. Additionally, you learned the crafting of two high-grade spiritual medicines that were not of inferior quality."
"One day, Wang Qingxuan sought you out, revealing details about a mysterious organization."
"By the next night, Wang Qingxuan left the university and joined the Descendents' Teachings."
"You continued your systematic cultivation and study of alchemy. During leisure moments, you acquired knowledge about cultivating spiritual plants and raised spiritual chickens."
"In the fourth year, your physique cultivation advanced to the ninth level of Bone Forging. You mastered over fifteen varieties of high-grade spiritual medicines. In your pursuit of the Flame Refinement Technique, you recorded a total of sixty varieties of high-grade spiritual medicines. You planned to continue your study."
"The spiritual chickens you bred have reached the seventh generation. Their meat is delectable, and you consume one or two spiritual chicken eggs daily. Additionally, once a month, you slaughter one to supplement your diet."
"In the fifth year, your physique cultivation reached the pinnacle of the ninth level of Bone Forging. Despite this achievement, you refrained from attempting to ingest the Pill of Body Refinement due to past experiences. You continued to refine one or two batches of the Pill of Body Refinement weekly, aiming to reach the mastery level sooner."
"One day, Wang Qingxuan visited you, presenting the first half of the 'Changchun Method.' However, you declined to accept it and requested her assistance in locating the second half."
"The next night, she prepared to depart."
"Yet, you intercepted her, presenting her with over a dozen exceptional-quality Beautification Pills and several recently refined Pills of Body Refinement. You cautioned her about the potent nature of these pills, advising her to consume only one every month, as they might induce discomfort. Lastly, you emphasized the importance of keeping this information about the pills discreet."
"Wang Qingxuan agreed and swiftly left."
"Su Xing nodded slightly, considering Wang Qingxuan as one of the few individuals he could trust."
"Moreover, at this point, Wang Qingxuan had become an adept martial artist, possessing a physique significantly superior to Su Xing's. Thus, her intake of the Pills of Body Refinement was expected."
"The only concern was whether Wang Qingxuan would disclose the existence of these pills, but considering this was within the simulation, even if exposed, a restart was always an option."
"Hence, this qualified as a bold experiment by Su Xing."
"Su Xing continued the simulation."
"Over these years, with Jin Congxue's commercial acumen, the Tarot Society's business influence expanded, reaching nearly a trillion in size and emerging as a rising star in the Kyoto business circle."
"You summoned Jin Congxue and handed her several Pills of Body Refinement, along with instructions for ingestion. After intertwining for several days, Jin Congxue departed."
"In the sixth year, you persisted in studying alchemy. Your repertoire of medicinal varieties expanded, and your alchemical skills became increasingly proficient."
"One day, Jin Congxue found you, visibly excited. She informed you about her significant physical enhancement and nearly thirty percent increase in strength."
"Su Xing nodded slightly. Jin Congxue was a mage by profession, an adept martial artist at the grandmaster level, but her physique didn't surpass Su Xing's by much. Hence, the enhancement from the Pills of Body Refinement was inevitable."
"You were delighted with Jin Congxue's progress and handed her over a dozen more Pills of Body Refinement. Additionally, you gave her ten thousand Pieces of Starving Vein Pills, requesting her to deliver these to Empire's Chief Lu Yuanwu."
"Jin Congxue asked if you were not afraid of revealing yourself, but you shook your head, stating that you had your plans."
"A few days later, Chief Lu Yuanwu personally approached you, accompanied by Jin Congxue."
"Chief Lu Yuanwu seemed especially appreciative of you. He proposed to hire you as a special advisor for the military, specifically to provide these kinds of pills to the military. He offered a staggering price of two hundred thousand Da Xia coins per Starving Vein Pill."
"You expressed that money wasn't your concern; you desired higher privileges and wished to acquire special items and equipment from the dungeons."
"Chief Lu Yuanwu hesitated, acknowledging that while your crafting of Starving Vein Pills was highly beneficial, it wasn't sufficient to grant such privileges. However, he expressed that, due to Jin Congxue's influence, he could provide you with additional privileges."
"Curious, you privately inquired about Jin Congxue's relationship with Chief Lu Yuanwu. Jin Congxue revealed that Chief Lu Yuanwu was her maternal grandfather, her grandfather on her mother's side."
"Su Xing was momentarily surprised. No wonder Chief Lu Yuanwu favored him so much... It was all due to family connections, his grandfather?"
