Chapter 1 Savior Simulator_1

Sitting in the back row, Wang Ran twirled his pen with boredom.

He couldn't understand the math symbols on the blackboard at all, as his soul came from a parallel world where he had graduated and worked for many years, and had long forgotten these advanced math formulas.

Suddenly, he saw a few lines of fluorescent green text.

[Apocalypse Countdown: Fourteen Days]

[Savior Simulator Activation]

[Would you like to start the first simulation?]

Wang Ran paused for a moment, silently shifting his gaze. The text in front of him moved with his line of sight as if it were stuck to his retina.

Apocalypse countdown—was this world going to end?

Wang Ran was astonished, but as a transmigrator, he quickly accepted this fact and turned his attention to the Savior Simulator.

After so many days of transmigrating, his golden finger had finally arrived.

He silently thought, "Start simulation."

[Start Simulation]

[Day one, you are cleaning in the basement when suddenly the earth shakes and your head hits the wall, knocking you unconscious.]

Seeing this line of text, Wang Ran's first reaction was that there had been an earthquake.

The simulator's text continued to scroll.

[Day two, you wake up from the coma under the care of School Beauty Lin Ying.]

The school beauty is also in the basement?

Wang Ran was somewhat surprised.

Lin Ying's family was locally prominent, and the female elders in her family were all more beautiful than the last; Lin Ying had inherited their genes, and was truly a heavenly beauty.

[You discover the only exit from the basement is blocked by stones and there is no signal on your cell phone; you and Lin Ying try many methods but cannot leave the basement.]

[Lin Ying is very scared, and you comfort her with care.]

Wang Ran's brows furrowed.

With the exit of the basement blocked by stones, it was impossible to escape from inside; they could only rely on external rescue.

But would there be any rescue during an apocalypse?

At that moment, the simulator's text continued to roll.

[Day three, you find a broken pipe in the wall that connects to the outside; you hit the pipe hoping to attract the attention of any possible rescuers, but get no response.]

As expected, there was no rescue during the apocalypse.

Wang Ran's mood grew heavier.

[Under the influence of the suspension bridge effect, you and Lin Ying develop affections for each other and cuddle up to share snacks, water, and stories.]

It's a common psychological phenomenon for people in crisis to develop feelings for each other.

Wang Ran didn't pay it any mind.

He had a feeling that this simulation would end soon.

Trapped in a basement from the start,

Isolated and helpless,

The outcome would be either starvation or dehydration.

[Day four, you both make the utmost effort, but rescue still doesn't come, and both you and Lin Ying feel very desperate.]

[You already sense the inescapable calamity.]

Before Wang Ran could react, the next second, the plot took a massive turn!

[That night, under your aggressive initiative, you and Lin Ying have an indescribable encounter.]

The simulator's text scrolled rapidly.

[Day five, you two do nothing, the indescribable event lasts all day]

Wang Ran: ???

He could hardly believe his eyes.

What kind of preposterous storyline was this?

Day three, developing affections;

Day four, an event happens;

Day five, an entire day of events?!

"This simulator must be broken!"

Wang Ran said with a dark face.

At the brink of life and death, why would he waste precious energy on affairs between men and women?

No longer wanting to escape?

Giving up in despair?

Reveling in indulgence before death?

In the midst of Wang Ran's chaotic thoughts, the current simulation approached its end.

[Day six, while you and Lin Ying are having your encounter, you suddenly hear noises from outside the basement.]

[You shout loudly for help.]

[A shadow flickered by, and you died.]

[Simulation End]

Dead!

Wang Ran's pupils constricted sharply as he momentarily set aside all distractions, focusing intently on the final sentence.

A shadow flickered by...

I died...

Was I murdered?

Wang Ran felt extremely surprised, and at the same time, a cascade of text poured down before his eyes.

[Begin Settlement]

[In this simulation, you have achieved the following]

[Rookie's Start: First Simulation Completed]

[Doomsday Revelry: Indulging Desires in Despair]

[I died: First Death]

[Survival Time in this Simulation: 6 days]

[For each day survived or achievement attained, reward 10 Free Attribute Points and 1 Talent Drawing opportunity]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 90 Free Attribute Points]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 9 Talent Drawing opportunities]

Wang Ran furrowed his brows; he couldn't figure out what the shadow that had killed him was. Surely it wasn't someone jabbing him with something like a spear from outside the basement, was it?

What grudge, what enmity?

The information was too scarce.

Wang Ran suppressed his doubts and silently called up the attribute panel.

[Strength: 5]

[Constitution: 6]

[Agility: 5]

[Spirit: 10]

[Comprehension: 5]

[Free Attribute Points: 90]

The panel was very simple, with no explanations, but one could guess the function of each attribute from their names.

Wang Ran mused, "The upper limit for an adult's attributes should be 10 points; my Spirit is at 10 points, is it because I am a transmigrator?"

He had a total of 90 attribute points, and if distributed evenly, he could create a little superman who would reach twice the human limit in all areas.

But even average meant mediocrity.

After some deliberation, Wang Ran used 19 points to increase all his attributes to 10 points, and then allocated the remaining 71 attribute points to his base attributes of Strength, Constitution, and Agility in a 2:1:1 ratio.

The extra 3 points were added to Agility.

Thus, his Strength, Constitution, and Agility reached 44, 27, and 30, respectively.

Such a panel was enough to overpower any human.

Wang Ran excitedly clenched his fist, but did not feel any different.

He was somewhat puzzled.

A line of fluorescent green letters floated up.

[Would you like to activate the Talent "Time-Space Transposition"?]

Wang Ran tentatively thought about checking his Talents.

Five translucent squares appeared before his eyes, one of which contained a dark gold pocket watch that bobbed up and down.

Wang Ran focused his attention on the pocket watch.

[Time-Space Transposition One: Temporarily exchange the doomsday panel, duration 3 seconds, cooldown 24 hours, upgrade conditions require achieving 10 different achievements]

Wang Ran wondered, "Do I need to activate this Talent to use my panel in reality?"

[Yes]

Wang Ran puzzled, "What can I do in 3 seconds?"

The simulator did not answer Wang Ran's question.

Wang Ran curled his lips, thinking it's better to have it than not and hoping that an upgrade would extend the duration.

The upgrade requirement was to achieve 10 different achievements,

He had already accomplished 3,

Seven more and he could upgrade.

Wang Ran turned his attention to the blank squares, silently thinking about drawing a Talent.

A huge number 9 appeared in his vision.

Thud!

A melodious bell rang in Wang Ran's ears, the number 9 shedding a layer of golden powder from the sound, morphing into the number 8, while the falling gold powder gathered below into a line of hazy text...
