Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
That night, Su Xing returned to the dormitory in a good mood.
Don’t misunderstand, Su Xing didn’t do anything inappropriate.
He merely invited the freshman girl into a small dark room and gave her a heartfelt talk.
For such freshmen who were about to step into the abyss, Su Xing’s main approach was spiritual redemption.
In the following week, Su Xing started taking on orders like crazy, leveling up with freshmen every day, and converting the equipment he earned into energy.
In just a week, Su Xing made more than 200,000 Great Xia coins, a significant gain.
During this time, Su Xing also tried buying higher-quality equipment and potions to convert into energy.
But he found that exchanging white-quality equipment for energy was still the most cost-effective choice.
Today, the Life Simulator’s cooldown period ended.
Su Xing lay excitedly on the bed and chose to simulate.
“Start simulation!”
[Consumes 200 points of energy, remaining energy 1082 points, remaining simulation attempts: none.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a white talent costs 100 points of energy, drawing a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, proceed?]
Su Xing hesitated for a moment and chose to draw a white talent.
[Spent 100 points of energy, remaining energy 982 points, drawing talent randomly…]
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the white talent, Business Elite!]
[Business Elite]: Your business acumen surpasses ordinary people, making it easier for you to earn money through transactions than regular merchants.
Su Xing nodded slightly.
Although the Business Elite talent wouldn’t directly enhance his strength, it would allow him to accumulate more wealth in the simulation, which was still quite good.
[In the dormitory, you possess unique business acumen and plan to invest and make money.]
[You spent all your savings to purchase a large number of low-level skill scrolls and equipment.]
[You continued to help freshmen level up, earning extra money.]
[While leveling up, you recommended equipment and skills to the freshmen.]
[The freshmen were convinced by your eloquence and eagerly bought them!]
[Through buying low and selling high, you made 30 million within a year.]
[As you were about to graduate, you, still at Body Refinement Stage 6, unsurprisingly repeated the year.]
[But you weren’t discouraged and continued your second-hand business.]
[You started monopolizing the second-hand market within the school, dealing in everything from equipment and skill scrolls to restorative potions.]
[Within just two years, you became a billionaire businessman.]
[Not satisfied with this, you began developing an underground network.]
[You established a trading organization called the “Tarot Club” and opened shops throughout Beijing.]
[Two years later, you were expelled from school.]
[But you didn’t care because your business continued to grow, until one day, you attracted unwanted attention.]
[A woman named Wang Qingxuan approached you, and you were surprised to find that she was the freshman girl you had once spiritually redeemed.]
[She told you that she had joined a mysterious organization, and her mission was to recruit you into it!]
[You asked her what the organization was, but she didn’t tell you.]
[You refused to join the mysterious organization.]
[She told you that if you didn’t join, you would be left with only one path: death.]
[You sneered and summoned several master-rank Awakened bodyguards.]
[Your bodyguards were effortlessly killed by her.]
[You were shocked to discover that she had become a grandmaster-rank Awakened after all these years.]
Su Xing was stunned as he read this.
It must be noted that the Awakened ranks in this world, from low to high, are:
Bronze Rank, Silver Rank, Gold Rank, Master Rank, Grandmaster Rank, King Rank, Emperor Rank, Legend Rank, Absolute Sovereign Rank, Saint Rank, and God Rank.
And each major rank has thirty minor levels.
For instance, a level 30 Bronze Awakened cannot continue to level up after reaching the cap. They must complete an advancement quest in an “advancement dungeon” to progress further.
While top universities like Beijing Awakened University allow students to graduate if they reach the Gold rank within four years, only prodigies like Fatty Yu can hope to attain the Master rank.
But Wang Qingxuan had grown from Bronze rank to Grandmaster rank in just five years?
“Hiss~ This mysterious organization must be hiding some big secrets!”
Su Xing gasped in shock and continued reading.
[You thought you were doomed, but Wang Qingxuan didn’t kill you.]
[She told you that she owed you a favor for your kindness in the past and wanted to repay you.]
[That night, you spent the night together.]
[The next day, she left, leaving bloodstains on the bed sheet.]
Su Xing was stunned. He hadn’t expected Wang Qingxuan to actually be a virgin. So why did she seem so different in the previous simulation? What had happened in between?
[After she left, you felt guilty, thinking you had misunderstood her all along.]
[You searched for her whereabouts but unexpectedly learned of her death.]
[You were shocked. How could someone as powerful as a Grandmaster die so easily?]
[You suspected that Wang Qingxuan had failed her mission and was secretly dealt with by the mysterious organization.]
[You began investigating the mysterious organization behind Wang Qingxuan but found nothing.]
[You gave up on the investigation and instead focused on improving your strength.]
[While running your business, you also bought a large number of dungeon items to enhance your physical attributes.]
[At the same time, you never stopped searching for cultivation methods.]
[Two years passed, and although you didn’t find any cultivation methods, your body refinement reached perfection.]
[You suddenly remembered that this was the year your sister Su Nianan died.]
[You went home and earnestly told your sister not to enter any dungeons this year.]
[Although puzzled, Su Nianan obediently agreed.]
[Your sister remained safe throughout the year.]
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief, finally saving his sister.
But then his expression changed.
[The following year, your sister resumed her dungeon missions and died.]
[You began investigating your sister’s death but found nothing.]
[Unwilling to give up, you used considerable resources and various means to continue the investigation.]
[You eventually learned that your sister died in a dungeon called Demon Subjugation Pass.]
[You started inquiring about the Demon Subjugation Pass dungeon but found nothing.]
[Helpless, you gave up and continued running your business while working on your physical training.]
[Three years passed, and your strength remained stuck at the peak of body refinement, unable to advance.]
[You suddenly remembered that this was the year your good brother Yu Yan died.]
[So you found Yu Yan and told him not to enter any dungeons this year.]
[Yu Yan hesitated but eventually agreed.]
[A month later, you received terrible news: Yu Yan was dead.]
[You felt something was wrong and started investigating Yu Yan’s death.]
[Sure enough, you discovered that Yu Yan also died in the Demon Subjugation Pass dungeon.]
[And not just him—most of your classmates from that year also died in that dungeon.]
[You felt a sense of dread. This dungeon, Demon Subjugation Pass, seemed like a meat grinder, constantly claiming the lives of those around you.]
