One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

The third simulation has ended.

Chen Yi first looked at his head in the bronze mirror.

”The red hair wasn’t inherited...”

Then, he sat on the bed in his small room, spread his arms, and welcomed the power infusion.

”Hum—”

Chen Yi felt a ringing sound in his ears, and every inch of his skin, muscles, and meridians throughout his body trembled slightly.

This time was different from the previous two.

The cultivation inherited from the previous two simulations was only a leap of one realm.

This time, it was not only two realms, but a major leap from the early to the middle stage of martial arts!

Although it felt somewhat unusual, there was no discomfort, only a continuously surging sense of power, bringing confidence, high spirits, steadiness, and fearlessness!The power transfer was complete.

Chen Yi slightly activated his External Technique, circulating his Vitality Energy through a grand cycle throughout his body.

When its circulation speed reached a certain threshold, it was the unique Golden Body state of a martial artist above the Golden Body Realm.

Seeing a faint golden light shimmering on his body’s surface, Chen Yi couldn’t help but curl up the corner of his mouth.

”This is the power of the Golden Body Realm!”

Within the Great Qian territory, it is rare to see a Golden Body Realm martial artist under normal circumstances in county and town-level areas.

If a martial artist serves the imperial court, there is a regulation: those who reach the Golden Body Realm must serve in administrative units at the prefecture level or above.

Therefore, Chen Yi can now basically walk sideways in a place like Baiyun County.

The Golden Body Realm has nine levels, corresponding to the nine stages of Body Refining.

It’s equivalent to walking through the Body Refining Realm cultivation again, but this time, the amount of Vitality Energy required for each advancement is much greater.

Sixty-seven years of memories transformed into scenes that merged into his mind.

Chen Yi did not inherit the emotions, he only learned about various events and experiences, like reading a future biography of himself.

Cultivation methods, combat experience, leadership experience, and so on, all transformed into his own skills, becoming thoroughly integrated.

Finally, the traits.

The first three realm breakthroughs each only added two equippable trait slots, but breaking through from Soul Tempering to Golden Body added three slots at once.

Now there are a total of twelve slots!

Chen Yi has more space to equip traits.

Bringing up the trait system’s panel, Chen Yi adjusted the traits he had equipped.

【Current Probability for Each Quality Trait:】

”Hmm... comfortable!”

In the simulation, because his slots were extremely tight, Chen Yi often had to rob Peter to pay Paul, equipping the traits most needed at the moment and setting aside those of secondary need.

Now with twelve slots, the space is suddenly much more plentiful.

Although there are still some useful traits not equipped, those traits are mostly situational.

For example, ”Ginger Gets Spicier With Age” and ”Luckier with Age,” these types of elderly-focused traits are obviously useless for Chen Yi, who is still eighteen years old in reality.

Chen Yi yawned.

He spent a long lifetime in the simulation, but in reality, it was only half a shichen before Chen Yi’s bedtime.

”Let’s see what the guidance task is before sleeping.”

【Simulation Cooling Down, one year remaining.】

【You can choose to complete the following guidance task to directly obtain a simulation opportunity.】

【Guidance Task: Strike First!】

【Between Feng Yucheng and you, there exists a subtle causal relationship of fated rivals, which is detrimental to your future simulations and real-world direction. While his wings are not yet full, disrupt his cooperation with the demon race, or directly kill him!】

【Rewards:】

【1、Simulation Count +1;】

【2、Premium Trait Draw (Epic or above) *1;】

【3、High-Grade Spirit Artifact · Cold Gleam Overlord Spear *1.】

”Fated rival? I suppose so...”

Three simulations, twice died at Feng Yucheng’s hands.

Although it was caused by various reasons, in a world of fantasy, having causality and fate is not strange.

If I am destined to die at Feng Yucheng’s hands, then I must eliminate him!

In reality, at this current point in time, Feng Yucheng is the Chief Commissioner of Baiyun County’s Demon Slaying Division.

In the eyes of outsiders, there seems to be nothing wrong with him; one might even think he is quite diligent and responsible.

Who would have thought he colludes with the demon race, secretly harming the people of Baiyun County.

Many years later, he would even directly defect to the enemy, using the Demon Refining Pot to harm countless humans.

He can also transform into a monster, definitely not some good guy.

Rather than keeping him and letting him affect my living to a hundred in subsequent simulations, it’s indeed better to strike early!

Looking at this task alone, it’s actually not difficult.

Feng Yucheng from over sixty years later wasn’t even Chen Yi’s match, let alone the current one.

Compared to the battle at Changhen Slope, Chen Yi is just missing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

But Feng Yucheng compared to over sixty years later, what he lacks is much more.

What’s difficult about this task is how to handle the aftermath.

Reality is not a simulation; consequences cannot be ignored.

The Great Qian indeed currently shows signs of a dynasty in its twilight years, but the entire state machinery is still operating normally.

If a county Chief Commissioner is killed, the Dragon Protection Department will definitely investigate to the very end.

A Golden Body Realm practitioner can walk sideways in Baiyun County, but to go against the imperial court, that’s truly walking sideways.

What to do?

Carry out the perfect crime?

No need for such trouble.

The beginning of the third simulation has already provided the answer; just copy it.

He can even check for omissions and make it more perfect.

”The inspector from Baling Prefecture’s Demon Slaying Division won’t arrive for several more months. Instead of waiting here idly, why not take this opportunity to go retrieve the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?”

In the simulation, Chen Yi intercepted Old Liu seventeen years later to obtain the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

But in reality, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner didn’t suddenly pop out of the ground seventeen years later.

It already exists now and is currently wandering around.

Chen Yi asked the Ten Thousand Souls Banner about its experiences before meeting him in the simulation precisely to get information on where the banner is at this very moment.

In future simulations, Chen Yi will still need the Ten Thousand Souls Banner’s assistance.

Since every simulation requires the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and he has to retrieve it in the simulation...

Why not start with the banner already in hand, solving the problem once and for all?

With the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, dealing with Feng Yucheng’s actions next will also be easier.

Killing two birds with one stone.

Chen Yi recalled the information from the simulation, calculating the approximate current location of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The time and place might not be precisely accurate down to the last detail, but Chen Yi has the ”Treasure-Sniffing Nose”; as long as he gets close, he can smell the Ten Thousand Souls Banner’s aura.

Estimating the journey, pushing the horse hard, the round trip would take about five or six months, roughly the same time as when the inspector arrives in Baiyun County.

”I’ll set off tomorrow! Now, sleep!”
