Chapter 6: Talent, Unyielding Gaze!
Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
【He continues to search your body, eventually taking the half of the “Everlasting Spring Technique” and crushing your head with a stomp before leaving.】
【You lose your eyes, rendering the Unyielding Gaze talent ineffective.】
【This simulation ends!】
【You can choose one of the following rewards: Unyielding Gaze (Talent), Half of the Everlasting Spring Technique (Technique)】
【Unyielding Gaze (White Talent)】: Price: 1000 points of energy.
【Half of the Everlasting Spring Technique (Technique)】: Price: 3000 points of energy, the most common wood attribute cultivation technique, capable of prolonging life and accelerating the absorption of spiritual energy.
“So I didn’t survive until the end of the world, but was killed by a mysterious person?”
Su Xing’s expression was serious.
“That mysterious person took the Everlasting Spring Technique that Wang Qingxuan gave me… Maybe he is also part of the mysterious organization?”
Su Xing frowned slightly and then noticed the simulation rewards.
“It really is a cultivation technique!”
“Half of the Everlasting Spring Technique requires 3000 points of energy?”
Su Xing fell into a dilemma, murmuring to himself:
“So should I choose the Unyielding Gaze talent, or the Everlasting Spring Technique?”
Although Su Xing didn’t have 3000 points of energy, he could buy more white equipment and convert it into energy to get the technique.
However, the Unyielding Gaze talent was clearly a divine skill in the simulation!
At the very least, Su Xing could know the cause of his death and even understand what exactly happened on the day of the apocalypse!
“Ugh…”
Su Xing rubbed his temples, murmuring:
“I might have another chance to get the Everlasting Spring Technique in the next simulation, but who knows how long it will take to randomly get the Unyielding Gaze talent again…”
Su Xing gritted his teeth and chose the Unyielding Gaze talent.
【Ding, you have chosen to bring back the Unyielding Gaze talent from the simulation, consuming 1000 points of energy. Remaining energy: 782 points.】
Only 782 points of energy were left.
Su Xing frowned slightly. He had already planned for the next simulation.
He needed to bring back the Everlasting Spring Technique!
But to redeem the Everlasting Spring Technique, he needed 3000 points of energy.
And with the energy cost increasing by 100 points each time, the next simulation would require 400 points of energy, plus 100 points to draw a talent.
He needed at least 3500 points to bring back the Everlasting Spring Technique!
He was short by nearly 3000 points of energy.
Assuming an average of 5 points of energy per white equipment, he needed to buy 600 pieces of white equipment.
Each piece of the cheapest white equipment cost at least 1000 to 2000 Great Xia coins.
In other words, he needed to spend at least 600,000 Great Xia coins to gather enough energy points.
“Sigh, it’s a headache… But I must get the Everlasting Spring Technique!”
“The key is to make more money!”
So for the next week, Su Xing started taking dungeon training jobs day and night, occasionally checking on Wang Qingxuan.
In a week, Su Xing crazily completed 50 dungeon runs, earning over 500,000 Great Xia coins!
Including his previous savings of 1 million, Su Xing had over 1.5 million in his hands.
However, after buying 600 pieces of white equipment, Su Xing’s savings dropped sharply to 700,000 Great Xia coins.
“Start simulation!”
【Consumes 400 points of energy, remaining energy: 3282 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?】
“Draw a white talent!”
【Ding, congratulations on obtaining the white talent, Calm and Serene!】
【Calm and Serene】: No matter how turbulent your heart is, you always appear calm on the surface, commonly known as a poker face.
Seeing this talent, a peculiar expression appeared on Su Xing’s face.
Can a poker face actually count as a talent? Really like the Cold-Faced Emperor, Old Thief Sima?
(TL Note: Reference to a League of Legends player, Smlz. His ID Smlz is an acronym for his Chinese ID, 司马老贼 (Si Ma Lao Zei). 司马老贼 is a derogatory name for Si-Ma Yi, his favorite historical character, who was a military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period of China and the de facto groundbreaker of the Jin dynasty. The player, smlz barely talks and never smiles and sometimes blocks his fans if they message him, hence why he is called the Cold-Faced Emperor. https://lol.fandom.com/wiki/Smlz)
Su Xing shook his head, muttering to himself:
“Why am I thinking about this now? Let’s continue the simulation first!”
【You had previously arranged for the freshmen girls to go leveling up in the dungeon with you, and you head out.】
【Seeing the girls’ fair thighs and good figures, you are delighted inside, but on the surface, you remain calm and maintain the appearance of a gentleman.】
【Over the next year, you take the freshmen girls to level up in the dungeon every day. Despite their advances, you keep a calm facade while struggling to restrain yourself internally.】
【In one year, you earn 25 million Great Xia coins.】
【At the same time, you frequently check in on Wang Qingxuan.】
【But you fear interfering with the previous simulation’s process, so you deliberately keep a certain distance from her.】
【One day, Wang Qingxuan comes to you and tells you about the mysterious organization.】
【You follow the script from your memory and persuade her not to join.】
【That night, you try new positions.】
【The next day, Wang Qingxuan drops out of school and disappears.】
【You know Wang Qingxuan has joined the mysterious organization, so you are not worried.】
【This year, you fail to graduate due to insufficient strength.】
【For the next four years, you continuously enter dungeons to earn money, amassing a fortune worth several hundred millions.】
【As expected, you get expelled from school.】
【You leave the school, establish the Tarot Club, and start a second-hand equipment business in Beijing.】
【You quietly wait for Wang Qingxuan to come to you.】
【One day, Wang Qingxuan indeed visits you.】
【After spending the night together, she leaves behind half of the Everlasting Spring Technique!】
【You memorize the entire content of the Everlasting Spring Technique and try cultivating it a few times.】
Seeing this, Su Xing was excited, clenching his fists.
“As expected, as long as I follow the previous simulation process, I can obtain the Everlasting Spring Technique!”
Su Xing continued the simulation.
【You still cannot cultivate, so you stop dwelling on it and choose to investigate the whereabouts of spiritual energy.】
【You send members of the Tarot Club all over the Great Xia Country to help you find clues about spiritual energy.】
【Two years pass, and you still find no trace of spiritual energy.】
【But your business grows larger and you accumulate tens of billions in assets.】
【This year, you know your sister will die, and you cannot stop it.】
【So you spend a huge amount of money to buy a Grandmaster-rank piece of equipment, hoping it will help save your sister’s life.】
【Before Su Nianan goes to the Demon Subjugation Pass, you return home, give her the equipment, and spend a lot of time talking with her.】
【A month later, news of your sister’s death arrives.】
【You are saddened but helpless.】
【Three years pass, and your business continues to thrive, with members of the Tarot Club spread across the Great Xia Country.】
【You know Fatty Yu is the next to die.】
【So the day before Fatty Yu goes to the Demon Subjugation Pass, you go drinking with him.】
【That night, you drink a lot, and Fatty Yu takes you home.】
【Shortly after, you attend Yu Yan’s funeral.】
【This year, you invest all your funds in the potion industry, earning a massive fortune worth hundreds of billions.】
【But you are worried because you know the mysterious person will come for you in a year.】
【So you plan to escape to another country. Before leaving, you sell most of your assets.】
【However, an unexpected event occurs.】
【Lady Luck smiles upon you. A few days before your departure to the United States, you receive news about spiritual energy…】
