Chapter 2 Simulation
**Simulation complete in one minute.**
**Selectable options from this simulation are as follows:**
**1. Emperor's Gaze (Human Affinity)**
**2. None**
**3. None**
**Since the simulation lasted less than twenty-four hours, the simulator has no damage.**
The second simulation ended swiftly, like a fleeting meteor.
"Well, at least I survived a few more seconds this time."
Zaire felt a burning desire to vent his frustrations. His gaze fell upon the sole reward available in the simulator.
**Emperor's Gaze (Human Affinity): You will be blessed by the Emperor, increasing your favor with most humans while reducing favor with Chaos and alien entities.**
Zaire blinked and selected the reward. His prayer to the Emperor had been a bold attempt, and surprisingly, it drew the Emperor's attention!
The Emperor, the founder of the human empire in the Warhammer universe, is revered by his followers as the God-Emperor, the Master of Mankind, the Omnissiah...
And cursed by his enemies as the Corpse Emperor, the False Emperor, the Sorcerous Corpse...
The Emperor does not love any individual human; he loves humanity as a whole.
"Hope the next simulation won't attract the Chaos Gods again. Emperor's protection..."
Zaire swallowed hard. The thought of his skull shattering left a deep scar on his psyche.
At this moment, Zaire seemed to forget his real-world troubles. Like a teenager addicted to online games, he eagerly began the next simulation.
**Simulation starting—**
**You have arrived in the Warhammer universe.**
**Time: Unknown**
**Location: Catachan System, Catachan Planet**
**You step onto the planet's surface and are delighted to find a small human outpost nearby.**
**Before you can rejoice, you are surrounded by countless deadly plants and animals.**
**You miraculously survive and are rescued by a Catachan human on a hunting expedition.**
**You express your loyalty to the Emperor, and you are temporarily spared.**
**You discover that the small outpost is manned by a single Catachan human, a new recruit undergoing advanced survival training.**
**You attempt to learn combat and survival skills from him. Although he is taciturn, you notice a hint of approval in his eyes.**
**In the first week, you endure extreme physical training with the Catachan recruit, often urinating blood and collapsing in exhaustion.**
**In the second week, the recruit educates you about the deadly flora and fauna of Catachan. Any failure to remember details results in brutal combat training. You lose a few teeth and feel utterly miserable.**
**In the third week, you undergo basic firearms training with the recruit. Your shooting skills earn his recognition.**
**To your surprise, the injuries from the previous weeks' extreme training have healed. You attribute this to the recruit's treasured ant cow canteen, but he remains silent and contemplative.**
**In the fourth week, you request the recruit to take you on a real survival mission, but he refuses.**
**Stubbornly interpreting this as contempt, you venture into the jungle alone to prove your mettle.**
**You cleverly avoid brain leaf parasites, under the approving watch of the hidden recruit.**
**You nimbly dodge the hunting range of barbed grass, with the recruit nodding in approval from a concealed position above.**
**You bravely confront a Catachan trapper, while the recruit intercepts three face-eaters lurking by a fetid pond, shaking his head in dismay.**
**You evade the trapper's attack but fail to notice the approaching heretic mosquitos.**
**Bitten several times, their venom begins to rot your organs.**
**You are near death.**
**In your final moments, you glimpse the recruit's figure and hear his parting blessing as a Catachan longfang pierces your heart, ending your agony.**
**"Emperor protect you, my friend," whispers the solemn recruit, Sly Marbo, in his final eulogy.**
**You are dead.**
**Simulation complete in twenty-seven days.**
**Selectable options from this simulation are as follows:**
**1. Catachan's Deadly Flora and Fauna Guide**
**2. A Catachan Longfang (melee weapon)**
**3. One Month of Catachan Recruit Training**
**Since the simulation lasted more than twenty-four hours, the simulator is undamaged.**
**Cooldown time: twenty-seven hours.**
**Provide resources to reduce cooldown time (none currently available).**
Zaire felt puzzled by his reckless actions within the simulator, but he had no choice but to accept them. He carefully considered the rewards listed by the simulator.
From a practical perspective, the first reward was useless. Catachan's environment was too unique and rarely encountered even within the Warhammer universe.
The second reward, a Catachan longfang, was also impractical for Zaire at this time, serving only as a keepsake.
Regrettably, Zaire chose the third reward: one month of Catachan recruit training.
"Ah—"
Instantly, Zaire's muscles swelled significantly, tightening his previously loose clothes. An array of combat techniques, including stealth assassinations and ambush traps, ingrained themselves in his memory as if they were innate instincts.
"Catachan recruit training is extraordinary…"
Feeling a surge of battle knowledge, Zaire rolled up his sleeve to admire the rippling muscles on his arm, feeling a deep sense of joy.
Since his arrival in this world, Zaire had always felt insecure. But now, confidence surged within him. As long as he continued simulating, he believed he could face any future crisis!
However, the Warhammer simulator required time to cool down. To avoid waiting, resources could be used to reduce the cooldown time. Unfortunately, Zaire still didn't know what kind of resources the simulator needed.
He could only wait to find out.
At that moment, basking in his newfound strength on the couch, Zaire suddenly remembered something. Glancing at the clock, he realized several hours had passed!
It was already 12:20. He had not only skipped his morning classes but was also close to missing his afternoon job!
"If I don't leave now, my aunt will be furious!"
Zaire leaped up from the couch, quickly grabbing his phone and keys before rushing out of the apartment.
