One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

Welcome to Liu Zi’s new book, the bowl is set out! Begging for follow-up reads!

New friends might not know me yet, let me introduce myself, the following screenshots are from my old book:

”Da Chun, dare you gamble one more time?”

Chen Yi, carrying a heavy burlap sack on his shoulder, stood by the dock, looking at the endlessly flowing Qing River water.

He wanted to jump into the river.

Da Chun chuckled.

”Yi Ge, Old Zhang and the others said there are man-eating monsters downstream! The Black Stone Gang at least provides food, even if we can’t eat our fill, hehe...”

Chen Yi sighed, glancing at this plump friend whose eyes seemed to stand guard separately.

He wished he could be as carefree as Da Chun.

Even after being forcibly conscripted by a gang, signing a life indenture, doing free labor as a dockhand.But...

I’m a transmigrator, and I have a system, am I doomed to be trapped at this lousy dock for my entire life??

Before his eyes, a prompt only Chen Yi could see flickered intermittently.

[Time until next trait draw: 00:10:03.]

With a thought, the system panel appeared.

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Cultivation Realm: None]

[Techniques: None]

[Equipped Traits (3/3): Developed Deltoids [White], Hunger Resistant [White], Super Beast’s Pain Tolerance [White]]

[Acquired Traits (17): Pointy Head [White], Food Protective [White], Loves Eggs [White]...]

[Current probabilities for each quality trait:]

[White Common 99%, Green Rare 0.9%, Purple Epic 0.089%, Gold Legendary 0.01%, Prismatic Mythic 0.001%]

This was Chen Yi’s trait draw system.

This golden finger had two small problems.

First, you could only draw once a year.

If the drop rate was high, a low number of draws would be acceptable.

But its second problem was that the drop rate was extremely low!

The lowest-tier White traits were as high as 99%, severely polluting the pool!

In the past seventeen years, Chen Yi had drawn seventeen times, all White!

To increase the probability of high-quality traits, and to equip more traits, wasn’t impossible either—cultivate martial arts, elevate one’s realm!

However, Chen Yi had no innate talent, he couldn’t cultivate martial arts.

Well, dead end.

White traits weren’t completely useless.

Like the three Chen Yi currently had equipped.

”Developed Deltoids” slightly increased his shoulder strength, making it easier to carry goods.

”Hunger Resistant” reduced the discomfort of being hungry.

”Super Beast’s Pain Tolerance” lowered his sense of pain, making it a bit more bearable when he got beaten.

The overseer saw Chen Yi standing by the river in a daze and whipped him.

”What are you spacing out for! Looking for a beating!”

He got hit again.

Chen Yi made a pained expression, but it actually didn’t hurt at all, though the injury was still real.

Chen Yi worked while staring at the countdown.

[Time until next trait draw: 00:03:01.]

”System, you gotta perform, the probability for good traits is indeed low, but do you know Murphy’s Law?

Can’t you let me get lucky just once?

You don’t want to see your host waste his entire life like this, do you?”

Recalling the past eighteen years.

Chen Yi was born into a peasant family in Luoding Village, Baiyun County.

Although not wealthy, at least food and drink weren’t major problems, which was considered decent in feudal society.

Until three months ago, a group of mysterious people stormed the village.

Luoding Village suffered a massacre, leaving no chicken or dog alive.

Chen Yi lost all his relatives overnight.

Chen Yi survived thanks to the village simpleton Da Chun, who had an IQ of 250, dragging him into the Qing River that flowed through the village.

The two sank into the turbulent river and lost consciousness.

When they woke up, they had drifted to the neighboring Qinghe County town and were fished out by the Black Stone Gang.

”The Black Stone Gang saved you, and to repay this life-saving grace, you’ve decided to work as laborers for us, with just one meal a day provided? Oh my! How could we accept such generosity!”

The life indenture wasn’t read clearly.

The fingerprints were forcibly pressed onto it.

The burlap sacks were shouldered on the spot.

And so, Chen Yi and Da Chun carried sandbags at the dock in Qinghe County town for three months.

Coming from a peasant family, Chen Yi wasn’t afraid of hardship or exhaustion.

But no wages, not enough to eat, and frequent beatings were truly unbearable!

Who knew how long this bitter life would last.

Finally, the countdown for the trait draw ended.

A ball of light only Chen Yi could see floated before his eyes.

This light ball was composed of countless points of light, like a galaxy.

All the light points were moving at high speed in irregular patterns.

The light ball was mostly white.

If you looked closely, you could see green and gold points of light, even that extremely faint hint of prismatic color!

These points of light were the traits.

Whichever one Chen Yi touched, he would draw.

Chen Yi really wanted to grab those purple and gold points of light.

But they flashed too quickly, there were too few of them, and the field of view was almost entirely white.

”Forget it, just grab one blindly! God of Luck, grant me your power!”

Chen Yi closed his eyes and pressed down.

At this moment, the gears of fate finally began to turn!

All the points of light scattered, only the one Chen Yi first touched rapidly grew larger and brighter!

A dazzling rainbow of seven-colored light, even with his eyes closed, illuminated Chen Yi’s pupils.

”So bright, so flashy... Holy crap!!”

Chen Yi roared internally, struggling to suppress the expression on his face, straining his muscles until they twitched.

Prismatic, a Mythic trait!!!

[Simulator (Prismatic Mythic):

As you can see, you’ve acquired the cheat of a simulator, but each time you use the simulator, you must complete a guidance task or wait for the cooldown, except for the first time.

During simulation, you can moderately intervene in the simulation process, and you can perform one trait draw per year, but this trait must always be in the equipped state; if removed, the simulation ends early.

After the simulation ends, inherit all traits, memories, cultivation realms, techniques, and skills.

Start simulating, young man~]

What child cries every day, what gambler loses every bet!

The 0.001% mythic probability, and it was actually drawn on the eighteenth try?!

Wait.

Am I still alive?

Didn’t trade my lifespan for luck, did I?

Chen Yi felt himself up and down, good, everything was still intact, no signs of aging either.

Seems it was just a pure stroke of luck.

After reading the effects of the ”Simulator” trait, Chen Yi had only one thought.

This isn’t mythic, this is freaking cheating!

Before transmigrating, he had also devoured various web novels on Huang Qie and was no stranger to what a simulator was.

”Judging from this description, as long as I live long enough in the simulation, it’s like having many more chances to draw traits, indirectly increasing the drop rate!”

If even a 0.001% mythic trait could be drawn, Chen Yi believed the system’s pool wasn’t rigged at all.

By increasing the number of draws through simulations, he could always draw a useful trait.

The system’s traits encompassed everything; even a trait granting innate talent wasn’t impossible!

With the simulator, forget escaping the Black Stone Gang, crushing the Black Stone Gang would be a breeze!

”The Black Stone Gang that exploits me and Da Chun, and that group that killed my family, wash your necks and wait, I’m coming to settle the score soon! Start simulation!”

It happened to be lunchtime. Chen Yi, holding his bowl of thin porridge and gripping a steamed bun, moved away from the crowd.

Lines of black text on a white background appeared before Chen Yi’s eyes, like a text adventure game.

[First simulation does not require completing a guidance task or waiting for cooldown.]

[Initial equipped traits: Simulator [Prismatic], Developed Deltoids [White], Hunger Resistant [White].]

[Simulation begins!]
