Su Xing paused upon hearing the notification, and said with some disbelief,
“The garbage produced in these instances actually contains so much energy?”
Su Xing opened his storage ring and examined the instance dungeon items.
He found the instance dungeon items to be extremely quirky.
“Underwear used by Witch Lillian”…
Lady Aleya’s hairpin… feathers from an unknown bird species… expired Dove chocolate spread… highly effective stain-removing laundry detergent… a necrotic, unidentified pet egg…
From everyday items to the small gifts given by certain NPCs in instances, to body parts of instance bosses, they were odd in every conceivable way.
These strange instance dungeon items were known to professionals as instance garbage.
This wasn’t without reason because these items were in huge quantities, of unknown use, yet always treated as treasures by daydreamers who nurtured the fantasy of “finding a peerless treasure in a pile of trash.”
Those professionals who harbored unrealistic dreams and bought items from instances were affectionately called “trash lords.”
Because these bizarre instance dungeon items were so cheap it was almost pitiable, saying they were sold by weight wasn’t much of an exaggeration.
An item of “instance garbage” could range in price from a hundred to a few thousand Great Xia Coins each, and they were available in large quantities.
Su Xing estimated that there were at least a million pieces of “instance garbage” in his Storage Ring, and calculating an average price of less than a thousand per item, their market value would be around ten billion Great Xia Coins.
But it was this instance garbage, valued at merely ten billion, that contained an energy close to twelve million points!
On average, one hundred and thirty to forty Great Xia Coins could be exchanged for one point of energy!
This price-performance ratio was even five percent higher than when Su Xing had exchanged white-quality equipment for energy!
“Hiss, this way, acquiring instance garbage to exchange for energy sounds very promising!”
Su Xing’s eyes lit up; the energy contained in these instance dungeon items was uncertain, but through massive acquisitions, out of tens of thousands of items, there would always be hundreds that contained a significant amount of energy.
Additionally, since there was such an abundance of instance garbage, buying them in large quantities wouldn’t raise suspicions, making it an excellent channel for Su Xing to exchange for energy!
With this in mind, Su Xing stroked his chin and murmured,
“Looking at it this way, we can absolutely add a business to acquire instance garbage in the Tarot Commerce Association!”
Su Xing was a man of action, and without hesitation, he dialed Jin Congxue and asked her to help him acquire trash items produced in instances.
Jin Congxue was puzzled by Su Xing’s request, but since she had gotten used to his strange demands, she agreed.
However, acquiring instance garbage would take a significant amount of time to obtain from professionals; that work could be delegated to subordinates, and Su Xing would just reap the benefits.
With this, Su Xing’s channel for obtaining simulation energy had widened once more.
White equipment, exotic metals, instance garbage!
White equipment and exotic metals were more stable sources, while acquiring instance garbage was like opening a blind box, and with some luck, he could even gain a massive amount of energy!
“Whew… I see a bright future ahead!”
Su Xing’s lips curved slightly upward; if the plan worked, the abundance of simulation energy would allow his development to speed up. At least, he wouldn’t face a stagnation in development due to lack of energy.
“It’s time to start a new round of simulation!”
Su Xing looked at the simulator panel, which displayed over fifty-two million points of simulation energy, feeling cheerful.
March 17, 2024, New Era, Su Xing prepared to start his 28th simulation.
“Start simulation!”
As soon as Su Xing finished speaking, the simulator’s notification sound reached his ears.
[Ding, detecting that the host has sufficient simulation energy, would you like to spend 10 million points of simulation energy to upgrade the simulator to version 3.0?]
“Ah, I almost forgot about this!”
Su Xing paused for a moment, then nodded and said,
“Use the energy, proceed with the upgrade!”
“Heh heh, purple-quality talent, here I come!”
[Ding, successfully spent ten million points of energy to upgrade the simulator, remaining energy is 42,234,466 points!]
[Simulator updating… please wait… Ding, Life Simulator 3.0 version at your service, the following features have been unlocked…]
Su Xing glanced over the simulator panel’s update content, found no differences from the update preview, and began the simulation in earnest!
“Start simulation!”
[Ding! This simulation will consume 2,800 points of energy. Remaining energy points 42,201,666. Remaining number of simulations unlimited.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, drawing a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, would you like to draw?]
Seeing the option to draw a purple talent finally appear on the simulation interface, Su Xing excitedly rubbed his hands and resolutely said
“Draw a purple-quality talent!”
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining a Purple Talent, Sudden Enlightenment!]
[Sudden Enlightenment]: You occasionally become extremely astute, entering a mysterious state of enlightenment. During this state, the efficiency of your cultivation, alchemy, understanding of Cultivation Techniques, and other activities will experience a terrifying increase. The chance of triggering is random and the duration of enlightenment is variable.]
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing the purple talent he had drawn.
“Sudden Enlightenment, what the heck is this?”
After reading up on it carefully, Su Xing was suddenly struck by the tremendous potential of the talent.
“Hiss, so it’s a talent that can increase the chance of enlightenment, huh?”
“If this enlightenment is really as miraculous as described in fantasy novels of my previous life, wouldn’t that mean I’m about to soar?”
