One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

During the meal.

Chen Yi overheard the old man in Taoist robes sitting beside Shi San whisper to him in a low voice.

”Gang Leader, tomorrow is the day to deliver the meal to the River God.”

This old man was the Black Stone Gang’s strategist. Shi San consulted him on matters both big and small.

Shi San nodded.

”Have Wang Qiang handle it.”

”Wang Qiang has already become fish food.”

”Oh... I drank too much, forgot about that, hahaha! Then have Old Fourth go to the dock tonight and pick a few laborers... Oh right, I remember there’s a fool, isn’t there? He eats a lot too! He must go!”

Hearing this, Chen Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.

Feigning drunkenness, he probed further.”Gang Leader, that fool is my fellow villager, clumsy and all thumbs. If you have any task, give it to me to do. He can’t handle it!”

Upon hearing this, Shi San remained unmoved.

”This matter, that fool will definitely be able to handle it. You just focus on being an instructor here. Come, drink!”

Clearly, Shi San had no intention of giving Chen Yi any face.

Chen Yi said no more.

He still needed to rely on himself to become stronger in order to solve the problems for himself and Da Chun.

He had to start the second simulation as soon as possible!

After the luncheon.

Chen Yi pretended to be drunk, swaying unsteadily back to his room, declining any offers of assistance.

The moment he entered the room, all signs of drunkenness vanished, his gaze sharp and clear.

[Guidance Task Completed!]

[Rewards Distributed!]

”Clang!”

A crimson longsword fell before him.

Along with one chance to draw a Premium Trait.

A familiar ball of light materialized in front of Chen Yi.

Inside, specks of various colors represented individual traits.

White ones were still plentiful, but compared to before, they had decreased somewhat, as the probability for white traits was now only 89%.

”Give me a useful trait!”

Chen Yi reached out to touch it.

Without any surprise.

He touched a white trait.

”No matter, these are all Premium Traits. Even if it’s white, it should be useful, unlike ’You’re Too Beautiful’...”

[Dragon Plays with Phoenix (White Common): Your bedroom skills and abilities are significantly enhanced. All who experience it praise it!]

”What the heck is this! I’m in the prime of my youth and have watched countless videos, do I need this?”

Chen Yi really wanted to roll his eyes at the ”Simulator” trait.

”Premium Traits, sure enough, are just a scam. It’s like the featured banners in gacha games. The drop rates aren’t even as good as the regular pool, just there to trick players into spending! Better start the simulation quickly.”

[You have completed the guidance task for this simulation and obtained a new simulation opportunity.]

[Initial Equipment Traits: Simulator[Mythic], Low-Grade Bone Structure[Green], Serious Punch[Green], Effort Guarantees Reward[Green], Dragon Plays with Phoenix[White].]

[Simulation Start!]

[Breaking cauldrons and sinking boats, the hundred and twenty Qin passes ultimately returned to Chu. Sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, three thousand Yue soldiers could swallow Wu!]

[In order to successfully escape the Black Stone Gang’s control with Da Chun.]

[You deliberately displayed martial prowess, thus gaining the opportunity to join the Black Stone Gang and becoming an instructor within the gang.]

[However, you have no interest in gang life, aiming only to find an opportunity to escape...]

[Year One, Age Eighteen.]

[Initiating trait draw...]

[Draw successful!]

[’Night Owl’ (White): You prefer being active at night and sleeping during the day. You become moody if you don’t sleep during the day.]

[Adjust traits?]

[Yes/No]

The white trait continued its stable performance.

To obtain valuable traits, one still needed to improve their martial arts realm, thereby raising the probability of higher-quality traits.

Relying solely on luck and divine draws was still too unreliable.

[You chose No.]

[You know you have entered the simulation.]

[Then there’s no need to be overly cautious.]

[Take a risk tomorrow and run away!]

[The next day, during the twilight hour just before dawn.]

[The Fourth Boss led a few underlings, taking Da Chun and two other laborers, walking along the Qing River bank downstream.]

[Knowing the Fourth Boss was easy to fool, you said you couldn’t sleep and would go with the Fourth Boss, just for a walk.]

[The Fourth Boss didn’t think much of it and took you along.]

[The Fourth Boss used the same line as Wang Qiang, saying that after delivering the meal to the River God, those three laborers could play at the Red-Light House for three days.]

[Da Chun asked as he walked.]

[”Hehe! Fourth Boss, does the Red-Light House have good food?”]

[The Fourth Boss laughed heartily upon hearing this.]

[”Yes! Plenty of good food! Sausages! Abalone! Tofu! Very fragrant!”]

[Da Chun drooled as he listened.]

[The group arrived at the Ten-Mile Pavilion. The Fourth Boss pushed Da Chun and the other two to stand by the riverbank, then shouted towards the river surface.]

[”Lord River God! We’ve come to deliver your meal! May you eat and drink well!”]

[You saw the gang members who came along all unconsciously took a few steps back, clearly somewhat afraid of this River God.]

[The three laborers, unaware of the truth, still held the lunch boxes, truly believing they were there to deliver a meal, not knowing they *were* the meal.]

[The calm surface of the Qing River suddenly began to churn with a whirlpool.]

[Some fish and shrimp jumped out of the water, as if there was some great terror beneath, making them afraid to go back down.]

[At that moment, you, standing behind the Fourth Boss, suddenly delivered a powerful kick!]

[”Go on then!!”]

[With a ”splash,” water sprayed into the sky as the Fourth Boss was kicked into the river by you.]

[Seeing this, the gang members behind immediately drew their broadswords.]

[”Instructor Chen! What are you doing!”]

[You completely ignored their questioning and directly attacked.]

[With your current cultivation level, dealing with these non-martial gang members was more than enough.]

[You threw them one by one into the river water.]

[The gang members of the Black Stone Gang knew all too well what was in this river.]

[They desperately tried to swim towards the bank.]

[”Chen Yi! You dare harm me! Wait until I get ashore, I’ll skin you alive!”]

[The Fourth Boss was still spouting threats.]

[But it was as if there were a pair of large hands in the river, pulling them. After swimming for a while, not only did they not reach the shore, but they were getting closer and closer to the river center!]

[Da Chun and the two laborers watched this scene, somewhat bewildered, not understanding what was happening.]

[”What are you standing around for? Run!”]

[You grabbed Da Chun and fled.]

[Looking back.]

[You saw half of a massive green fish head emerge from the middle of the river.]

[That fish head actually spoke human words.]

[”The Black Stone Gang is really thoughtful, sending seven people all at once this month? Good, good, good... Cooperation is truly pleasant!”]

[Hearing this, the Fourth Boss yelled and screamed.]

[”River God! It’s a mistake! We aren’t this month’s ’meal,’ the people on the bank are!”]

[”Oh~ This one is the fattiest, I like it! Gang Leader Shi truly knows my heart!”]

[”What??? I’m the Fourth Boss of the Black Stone Gang! Look carefully, old one!!”]

[This fish’s eyesight was clearly not that good. It couldn’t see the Fourth Boss’s face clearly at all, simply treating him as a delicacy.]

[The fish demon opened its bloody maw and bit towards the Fourth Boss and the others. Its mouth was full of barb-like teeth, arranged in over a dozen rows, resembling a serrated belt.]

[Blood stained the river surface red.]
