Chapter 6 Innate Ability, Death with Eyes Wide Open!

"He kept probing your body and eventually took away that half of the 'Changchun Technique,' and before he left, he crushed your head with his foot."

"You lost your eyes, and your talent for dying with one's eyes open became ineffective."

"This simulation has ended!"

"You may choose one of the following rewards: Dying With One's Eyes Open (Talent), Half of the Changchun Technique (Cultivation Technique)"

"Dying With One's Eyes Open (White Talent)": Price 1000 energy points.

"Half of the Changchun Technique (Cultivation Technique)": Price 3000 energy points, the most common wood-attribute cultivation technique for immortality, which can extend one's lifespan and accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy.

"I didn't even survive until the end of the world? Killed by a mysterious person?"

Su Xing's expression became serious.

"That mysterious person took away the Changchun Technique that Wang Qingxuan gave me... Perhaps, he is also from the mysterious organization?"

Su Xing frowned slightly, then noticed the rewards for this simulation.

"It really is a cultivation technique!"

"Half of the Changchun Technique, does it actually require three thousand energy points?"

Su Xing was in a dilemma, murmuring to himself:

"So, should I choose the talent of Dying With One's Eyes Open or the Changchun Technique?"

Although Su Xing didn't have so many energy points on him,

as long as he spent a few hundred thousand to purchase white equipment and then converted it into energy points, he could afford it.

But... this talent of Dying With One's Eyes Open is clearly a divine skill in the simulation!

At the very least, Su Xing could find out the cause of his death and even what exactly happened on the day of the world's end!

"Sigh..."

He rubbed his temples and murmured:

"The Changchun Technique might have another chance to be obtained in the next simulation, but who knows how long it will take to randomly get the talent of Dying With One's Eyes Open again..."

Su Xing gritted his teeth and chose the talent of Dying With One's Eyes Open.

"Ding, you have chosen to bring back the talent of Dying With One's Eyes Open from the simulation, consuming 1000 energy points, leaving a balance of 782 points."

Only 782 energy points were left.

Su Xing frowned slightly; he had already made plans for the next simulation.

That was to bring back the Changchun Technique!

But exchanging for the Changchun Technique would require 3000 energy points.

And each simulation's energy cost increased by 100 points, so the next one would need a simulation fee of 400 energy points, plus the cost of drawing talents, which would be another 100 points.

He needed to save up at least 3500 points to bring back the Changchun Technique!

There was still an energy gap of nearly 3000 points.

Assuming that on average, one piece of white equipment could be exchanged for 5 energy points, he needed to purchase at least 600 pieces of white equipment.

The cheapest piece of white equipment would cost at least 1000 to 2000 Great Xia Coins.

That means, he would have to spend at least 600,000 Great Xia Coins to get that many energy points.

"Ah, what a headache... but the Changchun Technique is a must-have!"

"The key is still to make money and develop!"

So, in the following week, Su Xing worked day and night, running instances as a substitute, and occasionally checking in on Wang Qingxuan.

In one week's time, Su Xing ran instances 50 times like crazy, earning a total of more than 500,000 Great Xia Coins!

Together with his previous savings of one million, Su Xing had over 1.5 million on hand.

However, after purchasing 600 pieces of white equipment, Su Xing's savings plummeted to 700,000 Great Xia Coins.

"Start the simulation!"

"Consumed 400 energy points, remaining energy points 3282, unlimited remaining simulation attempts."

"The simulation begins!"

"Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, would you like to draw?"

"Draw a white talent!"

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining a white talent, Calm Seas!"

"Calm Seas": No matter how turbulent your heart may be, you always appear calm and composed on the surface, commonly known as a poker face.

Seeing this talent, Su Xing's face revealed a peculiar hue.

A poker face counts as a talent? Seriously, are we talking Sima the old thief, the stoic emperor?

Su Xing shook his head, muttering to himself,

"Now why bother with this, better start the simulation!"

[You have arranged in advance to take your junior sisters to level up in a dungeon, and you have left the house.]

[Seeing the junior sisters' fair thighs and good figures, your heart blossoms with joy, but you maintain a calm exterior, still posing as a gentleman.]

[In the following year, you lead the junior sisters to the dungeon every day for leveling and monster-slaying, and although they show you favor, you remain impassive, while internally striving for restraint.]

[In one year, you earned 25 million Great Xia Coins.]

[At the same time, you didn't forget to frequently care for Wang Qingxuan.]

[But fearing it might disrupt the process from the previous simulation, you also purposefully kept a certain distance from her.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan came to you, telling you about the mysterious organization.]

[You still persuaded her not to join using the lines you remembered from before.]

[That night, you tried a new position.]

[The next day Wang Qingxuan dropped out of school, whereabouts unknown.]

[You knew Wang Qingxuan had joined the mysterious organization, so you weren't worried.]

[This year, due to insufficient strength, you were not able to graduate.]

[In the following four years, you tirelessly ran dungeons for gold, amassing a fortune worth hundreds of millions.]

[As expected, you were expelled from school.]

[You left school and founded the Tarot Society, starting a second-hand equipment trading business in Kyoto.]

[You quietly waited for Wang Qingxuan to find you.]

[One day, Wang Qingxuan indeed came to see you.]

[After one night, she left, leaving behind half of the Changchun Technique!]

[You memorized the entire Changchun Technique and attempted to cultivate it a few times.]

Su Xing saw this and was excitedly gripping his fists.

"Sure enough, as long as I follow the previous simulation process, I can obtain the Changchun Technique!"

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[You still were unable to cultivate, so you stopped fixating on it and chose to investigate the whereabouts of Spiritual Energy.]

[You dispatched members of the Tarot Society all over Great Xia Country to help you search for traces of Spiritual Energy.]

[Two years passed, and you still hadn't found any clues about Spiritual Energy.]

[But your business grew larger, and you amassed tens of billions in assets.]

[This year, you learned your sister was going to die, and you couldn't prevent it.]

[So, you spent a huge sum to buy a piece of Grandmaster Level equipment, hoping it could save your sister's life.]

[Before Su Nianan went to Demon-Subduing Pass, you went home, gave her the equipment, and talked with her for a long time.]

[A month later, news of your sister's death reached you.]

[You felt sad inside, but there was nothing you could do.]

[Three years passed, you were fortunate that your business grew even larger, and the Tarot Society's members spread across Great Xia Country.]

[You knew that the next to die was Fatty Yu.]

[So, on the day before Fatty Yu went to Demon-Subduing Pass, you went to drink with him.]

[That night, you drank a lot, and Fatty Yu sent you home.]

[Soon after, you attended Yu Yan's funeral.]

[This year, you poured all your funds into the potion industry, you made a fortune, and your net worth reached hundreds of billions.]

[But you were anxious inside because you knew that the mysterious person would find you in a year.]

[So you prepared to flee to another country. Before leaving, you sold most of your assets.]

[However, an accident happened.]

[Luck was on your side. A few days before you were set to head to America, you received a message about Spiritual Energy...]
