Chapter 1: I Bound the Cultivation Simulator

Great Xia Country, Kyoto.

The highest academy in Kyoto, a male dormitory.

[Ding~]

A sudden sound appeared in Su Xing's mind.

Su Xing, who was packing equipment and preparing to enter the instance dungeon for gold, was stunned in place.

"Who? Who's playing a prank?"

Su Xing looked around the empty dormitory but found nothing.

But soon, a series of sounds echoed in Su Xing's mind.

[Life Simulator binding in progress...]

[Binding successful!]

[Host: Su Xing]

[Age: 21 years]

[Profession: Cultivator]

[Simulation Number: 1]

[Energy: 100]

[Introduction: The Life Simulator will simulate your future completely based on your development trajectory in the real world. After the simulation ends, you can obtain some rewards. Each simulation consumes a certain amount of energy. The number of simulations refreshes once a week.]

Su Xing rubbed his eyes, looking incredulously at the virtual panel in front of him.

Then, two lines of text appeared on the panel.

[Do you want to start the simulation?]

[Yes] [No]

Looking at the panel in front of him, Su Xing's eyes suddenly reddened.

"Three years! Do you know how I've lived these three years?"

"Dammit, I thought this transmigrator didn't have a cheat!""

Yes, Su Xing was a transmigrator who arrived in this strange world three years ago.

Unlike the Earth of his previous life, this world had games coming to reality.

Demonic beasts, secret realms, instance dungeons, equipment, and items appeared one after another...

The most amazing thing was that at the age of eighteen, everyone could change their profession to become a profession user, gaining experience from killing instance dungeon monsters to grow stronger.

Three years ago, Su Xing had just transmigrated and awakened the only hidden profession, Cultivator!

This news caused a sensation throughout Kyoto at the time. Su Xing was directly recruited into one of the nation's highest academies, Kyoto Vocational College!

At first, Su Xing's performance was indeed outstanding. Relying on the strong physique of a cultivator, he quickly stood out among the freshmen.

But soon, Su Xing discovered a fatal problem: he couldn't level up!

Other profession users could gain experience rewards after killing instance dungeon monsters.

No matter how hard Su Xing fought monsters to level up, he couldn't gain even a bit of experience.

So three years passed.

Now, as a senior, he watched his classmates grow from bronze level to silver level, gold level, and even higher...

While he remained a little Qi Refining First Layer cultivator.

But Su Xing was not willing to give up. He madly sought ways to level up and finally made some progress.

It was body refinement!

If he couldn't refine qi, he would strengthen his physique!

So Su Xing frantically entered instance dungeons to farm equipment and money, even leading freshmen to level up in dungeons.

He used the money he earned to buy instance dungeon items to enhance his physique.

After three whole years, he went from Body Refining First Layer to Body Refining Sixth Layer.

Body Refining Sixth Layer, with strength reaching thousands of pounds, sounded fierce.

But his actual combat power was not even as good as a bronze level 30 strength profession user.

Su Xing did not give up, continuing to brave instance dungeons, farming gold and grinding his physique.

Past scenes flashed before his eyes. Excited and trembling, Su Xing muttered:

"Start the simulation!"

[Consumed 100 energy points, remaining simulation times: none.]

[Simulation begins!]

[This talent draw is free, random talent drawing in process...]

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining white talent, Spiritual Root Holder!]

[Spiritual Root Holder]: White talent. Your root is different from ordinary people, enabling you to step onto the path of immortality.

Su Xing was stunned at this talent.

Could it be that he couldn't cultivate all these years because he had the profession but no spiritual root, thus unable to improve his Qi Refining realm?

Su Xing suppressed his doubts and chose to continue the simulation.

[In the dormitory, you awakened a cheat and were very happy.]

[In the afternoon, several freshman girls invited you to an instance dungeon to help them level up, you gladly agreed.]

[You performed heroically in the bronze level instance dungeon. After clearing the dungeon, you obtained several white items and a reward of ten thousand yuan.]

[One of the freshman girls, lacking money, wanted to pay in another (different) way.]

[You looked at the girl's face and agreed.]

[The next day, feeling invigorated, you began cultivating but didn't know how to start.]

[You started searching online for Qi refining techniques and found a shocking technique called 'Pangu's Creation Art'!]

[You were overjoyed and began cultivating.]

[After a day of cultivation, your cultivation level didn't improve and you almost cultivated incorrectly.]

[Unwilling to give up, you continued to cultivate day and night.]

[After a month, your Qi Refining cultivation was still at Qi Refining First Layer.]

[You understood then that the online cultivation techniques were all scams!]

[So you began spending a lot of money to buy cultivation techniques, only to receive a bunch of cheap items from certain websites.]

[Feeling helpless, you continued to refine your physique.]

Seeing this, Su Xing felt a chill. Without cultivation techniques, how could he cultivate?

Su Xing sighed, continuing the simulation.

[You didn't give up, refining your physique while searching for cultivation techniques.]

[In your spare time, you often took freshman girls to level up, earning money while getting close to them.]

[Good times didn't last long. After six months, the freshman girl broke through to the silver level and cut off contact with you.]

[One peaceful afternoon, with the wind unusually loud, you found her.]

[You asked her: I thought our relationship meant something. She told you: It was just a transaction.]

[Humiliated, you channeled your anger into energy, training hard for half a year, finally breaking through to Body Refining Seventh Layer.]

[Graduation approached, and while your classmates had all become renowned profession users, your strength was still insufficient to graduate.]

[You were held back, but secretly you were pleased because a new batch of freshmen had enrolled, and you continued helping them level up.]

[Gradually, you became famous. All new students knew of a senior who stayed back and was exceptionally strong at helping freshmen level up.]

[You gained a lot, amassing a fortune of millions in three years!]

Su Xing touched his chin and muttered:

"Staying back might not be so bad! At least there will always be new freshman girls..."

But then Su Xing's expression changed.

[You originally thought you would spend your days like this peacefully.]

[Unfortunately, after failing to graduate for five consecutive years, you were expelled.]

[Expelled, you lost your main source of income and, due to your weak strength, could only linger in bronze-level dungeons.]

[Determined to change, you decided to focus on refining your physique.]

[In two years, you spent all your savings, reaching Body Refining Eighth Layer.]

Seeing this, Su Xing felt a bit disheartened. He hadn't expected body refinement to be so difficult.

He spent three years advancing from Body Refining First Layer to Body Refining Sixth Layer,

but his future self spent seven whole years advancing from Body Refining Sixth Layer to Eighth Layer.

Su Xing patiently continued reading.

[Penniless, you resumed your old trade, living off gold-farming in dungeons.]

[Your skills hadn't dulled. At Body Refining Eighth Layer, you were invincible in bronze-level dungeons, earning millions once more.]

[One day, your parents told you that your sister, Su Nianan, had died...]
