Chapter 3 - The grind

Entering my house I waved the person who brought me here goodbye before quickly closing the door and throwing the stuff I had onto the bed. I sat down and thought about what I was going to do...

"Learning the techniques is obviously something I need to do, but I have the simulator so..." I sighed and just picked up the other attacking and the body technique instead of the cultivation one.

--

Yawning I sat the books down and sighed in relief as I stared at the screen that showed what progress I made.

I smiled, glancing at world chat I decided it was time for another simulation.

[Ding! You have started a paid life simulation. Generating talent...White talent [Smart]! Congratulations to the host...]

[White Talent:Smart]

[You are smart, not too intelligent but you are now considered smart compared to other's]

[Month 1. Age 17

You have trained, and due to a certain gain you were able to be admitted into the Zen Long Martial school in the town of Sur.

You have used your contribution points to buy resourced and techniques to become stronger.

But even then, with your below, below average talent(Level 2, Low grade), you fall short in cultivating the technique but your able to push through by using the weeks worth of resources that you bought and the herbal baths.

During this entire month you praticed the technique and you made some suprising progress. (24/100). You feel that your slowly entering Grade 9 of the Martial arts realm while also getting your proficency for the True Sun breathing manual]

[Month 2. Another month passed by and you finally finished cultivating.

You took a deep breath as you opened your eye's. You felt it. You were on the right path. Maybe another year or so and you'd be able to calmly step into Grade 9 of the Martial realm due to Healtier and Smart talents. But you didn't have a year. You already knew that the titan army would destroy this Kingdom within a few months, specifically Month 9 so you needed to take some risks.

But first, you had to learn the techniques [Iron Palm], [Fire Palm] and [Iron Body] technique now that you had the time. After all, you needed a form of offense. You already knew what you needed to do after all. You needed to go out and fight monsters for more contribution points]

[Month 3. Your techniques were leveled up to Level 2(0/200) and you now felt somewhat confident.

Sending a somewhat fiery palm towards the wall of the training grounds you grin. You had little Qi and although this took a lot out of you it was also pretty strong. This would be your trump card. Your iron body technique was also pretty good since you now felt a bit safer since you didn't have armor.

You also begun to be glanced at with some disdain since newcomers who arrived to the school were nearing the Half-step Grade 9 martial arts realm. But given that they spent a few months in the school and you just barley joined...you felt disdain for them honestly.]

[Month 4. Age 17.

Iron Palm Level 2

Iron Body Level 2

Fire Palm Level 2

True Sun Technique Level 2

Cultivation:30/100 to Grade 9 Martial realm

You ventured out of the school after months of getting your techniques up to stuff because of the injured bear. The bear was injured...doesnt that meant there are more injured Half-step bears within the demonic forest outskirts? Even though you could also find it since you didn't reveal its existence to the Martial school...you feel like you could take it on now. If you could fight it as a strong mortal when it was injured you feel like you can fight it even now with your new strength.

Although you spent some time looking and searching for them you spent the first 2 weeks without any success. You do spend time praticing your techniques so it isn't that bad.

(All techniques gain +10)

But you don't cultivate in fear of being sneak attacked by the beasts within this small part of the demonic forest.

Another week passes by and you finally find traces of the injured bear but it isn't as injured as you thought it was.

In the end after a day of fighting you finally defeat it with some injuries both internal and external. You quickly exit the forest a day before the final week ends.]

[Month 5. Age. 17

Iron Palm Level 2 10/200

Iron Body Level 2 10/200

Fire Palm Level 2 10/200

True Sun Technique Level 2 0/200

Cultivation:30/100 to Grade 9 Martial realm

You return back to the martial school, sending the bear monster core and getting another 1000 contribution points. You spend it on a Genius worth week resources for the 1000 points. Now you realized that you were basically poor within the martial school.

Sighing at your poorness you decide to look at the other services that the school offered such as mercenary jobs or quests.

You take a week to cultivate and use your resourced to further step into the Grade 9 Martial arts realm.

You feel your understanding of the True Sun technique grow. You also feel that your about halfway through Grade 9.

Cultivation:30->>54/100

True Sun Technique:Level 2 0->>25/200]

[Month 6. Age 17.

Its starting. From your Memory this was supposed to happen a few months later but your seeing the signs of the demonic forest slowly beginning to show activity in a large scale. You begin packing while also grabbing some gold.

You take a quest to venture towards another kingdom and then you'd think about what to do then]

[Month 7. Age 17.

You don't cultivate as your on the road to the next kingdom. You glance back towards the kingdom you were once a member of and sigh. You dont practice given that its a bad omen to do so]

[Month 8. Age 17.

You offend an official when you arrived in your new kingdom.

You have died]

[Due to your death the simulation ends here]

[Choose 2 of the following]:

1. Cultivation base at month 5, Age 17

2. White Talent - Smart

3. Cultivation techniques at the level of Month 5, age 17

4. 2 weeks worth cultivation resources

5. Memory fragment

I pondered on the simulation. Looks like the whole once you simulate you attract the world's will or whatever that make me unlucky exists for my cultivation simulator as well.

Oh well. From the looks of it I'll have to either grow strong enough within the next few months or else I'd just be a fat chicken for any other martial arts expert that I encounter while escaping this kingdom. But...honestly who cares I could just respaw-how do I respawn again?

[Ding! Merley by sleeping in a bed can you set your spawn point within the world or by stating where your spawn point should be]

That makes sense.

"Reward 1 and 4" I muttered and suddenly I felt various techniques be stuffed into my head before that sensation vanished and I stared at a few screens popping up in front of me.

[Ding! You have learned the Iron Palm technique and leveled up x2]

[Ding! You have learned the Fire Palm technique and leveled up x2]

[Ding! You have learned the Iron Body cultivation technique and leveled up x2]

[Ding! You have learned the True Sun cultivation technique and leveled up x2]

[Ding! Your cultivation has improved greatly!]

[Ding! There has been various changes made to your status screen please check them out]

I let out a sigh as I felt my body grow...stronger. It felt much better and honestly I felt that with another simulation I should be able to break through to Grade 9 of the Martial Arts realm. By then I should probably work towards getting a better cultivation technique and maybe finding out where some resources to cultivate faster were.

[Ding! Due to your drastic improvements you have gained 1 gacha token]

[Would you like to use it now?]

[Y/N - ?]

I blinked. Oh right, I forgot about that.
