[Ding Dong. The cooldown period of the Cultivation Simulator has ended. Do you want to start the simulation now?]
“Yes.”
[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]
[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]
[Currently available Cultivation Talents: “Battle Maniac”, “Inborn Disability”, “Good Swimmer”, “Extreme Survival”, “Swift Swallow” …]
!!
Zhao Hao looked at them carefully. They were all some bullsh*t White and Blue Talents, so he was interested in none of them.
He randomly selected three talents, and the simulation started.
[Devil Fetus (Gold Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 50. Your defense power increases by 20%. Your apt.i.tude for practicing fist, leg, foot, and palm skills increases by 50. Your speed of practicing Evil Cultivation Method cultivation doubles.]
[Battle Maniac (Blue Talent): Your strength increases by 20. Your attack speed increases by 10%.]
[Inborn Disability (White Talent): Your strength decreases by 10. You were born without an arm, so you can cultivate a special technique.]
[Swift Swallow (Blue Talent): Your agility increases by 10. Your speed of practicing the Lightness Skill doubles.]
[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]
[On the first day, you transmigrated to a small village at the foot of the Tianwu Mountain. You were determined to become a Great Cultivator and live forever. However, you knew that there were monsters in the ruined temple in the mountain, so you did not act rashly.]
[On the second day, you stumbled upon an unt.i.tled sword-fighting manual in the dwelling of Widow Zhang by the side of a small river. You practiced it hard. With your intelligence and multiple Cultivation Talents, you soon achieved a minor success in your sword skills.]
[On the third day, you cultivated nonstop and finally comprehended a trace of Sword Energy. You felt that you were capable enough again. You thought that you became a martial arts expert, and your confidence increased a lot, so you packed your bags and wanted to walk out of the mountain.]
[On the fourth day, you went to the ruined temple where you died last time on purpose and killed all the little demons there. However, you did not expect that there was an Evil G.o.d worshipped in the temple. You were just about to run away, but the Evil G.o.d opened its eyes, and you died.]
[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]
[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: Four days. System Cooldown Time: Four minutes.]
“F*ck. F*ck. F*ck…” Zhao Hao almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he saw this outcome. He did okay this time. It was much better than his first time where he had only survived for two days. This time, he had survived for four days…
Anyway, why was this transmigration location so dangerous? Not only were there demons, but there was also an Evil G.o.d.
Although he had died again, the System had given him much more information this time. Now he knew that in a simulation, he could operate based on what he had already known. For example, he did not know that there were demons in the ruined temple in the first simulation, but he knew about it in the second simulation.
Then, Zhao Hao recalled what happened in the simulation and thought he would do the exact same things as what he had done in the simulation, considering his impulsive personality.
So, he began to recollect the information that he had gotten.
There was an unt.i.tled sword-fighting manual in the dwelling of Widow Zhang by the side of a small river. So, there was a small river at the edge of the village… He considered whether he could leave the village by the water next time.
As Zhao Hao thought about it, the cooldown period of the Cultivation Simulator ended.
[Ding. The cooldown period of the Cultivation Simulator has ended.]
“Start the simulation.”
[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]
[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]
[Currently available Cultivation Talents: “Aristocrat”, “Inborn Disability”, “Descendant of a Mountain”, “Water Spirit” …]
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in front of Zhao Hao.
“Golden Legend…”
No…
“It’s a Red Cultivation Talent!!!”
[Mahayana Holy Body (Red Talent): All your basic attributes increase by 300. This is a unique physique that is rarely seen in a million years. It is the strongest sacred body in the martial arts world. Your apt.i.tude to practice all kinds of Cultivation Methods is the world’s highest. Your attack power is twice the original attack power.]
With no hesitation, Zhao Hao selected this Red Cultivation Talent that is so rare to come by.
“Eh, this talent is so powerful, but I can’t afford to survive in the simulation for too long. Oh, right. I should couple it with two other talents that will allow me to die fast.”
“Although I have the Red Cultivation Talent, I still have to rely on death to get more information…”
[Inborn Disability (White Talent): Your strength decreases by 10. You were born without an arm, so you can cultivate a special technique.]
[Mahayana Holy Body (Red Talent): All your basic attributes increase by 300. This is a unique physique that is rarely seen in a million years. It is the strongest sacred body in the martial arts world. Your apt.i.tude to practice all kinds of Cultivation Methods is the world’s highest. Your attack power is twice the original attack power.]
[Bad Luck (Blue Talent): Your luck decreases by 100. You are cursed with misfortune.]
[On the first day, you transmigrated to a small village at the foot of the Tianwu Mountain. You were determined to become a Great Cultivator and live forever. However, you knew that there were monsters in the ruined temple in the mountain, so you did not act rashly. You wanted to leave the village by water, so you began to cut down the trees and make a raft.]
[On the second day, you completed your raft. You snuck into the room of Widow Zhang and found the unt.i.tled sword-fighting manual.]
[On the third day, you quickly picked up the sword skills. Even though you were born without an arm, you were extraordinarily talented. In just one day, you comprehended several streaks of Sword Energy and mastered the art of sword-fighting.]
[On the fourth day, a bandit came from outside to raid the village. You used your masterful sword skills to kill the bandit and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword.]
[On the fifth day, you started going down the river in the raft to the unknown destination…]
[On the sixth day, as the stream joined the big river, the waves almost broke your raft. You saw many shadows surrounding your raft in the river…]
[On the seventh day, you saw a derelict dock. You had no choice but to go ash.o.r.e here, as the shadows beneath the raft were too scary. The moment you got ash.o.r.e, a big fish smashed your raft into pieces.]
[On the eighth day, you wandered the wilderness without seeing a single human being for a long time. You were tired and hungry. You tried to look for some game, but you could not find any.]
[On the ninth day, you were besieged by a pack of wolves. Fortunately, you had mastered your swordsmanship. You killed them all, peeled off their skins, and solved your hunger.]
[On the tenth day, you finally saw a city. You traded the wolf skins for some money and found an inn to rest.]
[On the 11th day, when you were eating in the inn, you heard the people around you talking, and you found out that cultivation sects were taking in disciples around here.]
[On the 12th day, you went out to find out more information, and you finally learned that there were two groups of cultivators in the city. One was the Evil Ghost Sect, and the other was the n.o.ble Aspiration Sect. Both of them came here from the mountain to recruit disciples. One was part of the righteous faction, and the other was part of the evil faction. You observed them for a long time and finally thought it might be easier to survive in the evil sect. So, you took part in the a.s.sessment of the Evil Ghost Sect and pa.s.sed it smoothly.]
[On the 13th day, your Mahayana Holy Body was exposed on the way to the Evil Ghost Sect, and a Nascent-Soul-stage Elder who was leading the team possessed your body. You died.]
