Simulating Endless Possibilities: Invincible Once I Act

Chapter 42: Truly a talent for harming others for one’s own benefit

Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Jiang Yifeng continued to spend his days idly at the Pleasure House, listening to music.

Now that the simulation count had refreshed, he immediately returned to his room to start a new round of simulation.

He murmured softly.

"Start simulation."

[Simulation count -1, remaining count 0]

[Drawing a Blue Talent costs 100,000 Energy Value, drawing a Purple Talent costs 1,000,000 Energy Value. Please choose!]

"Draw a Purple Talent."

[Ding, 1,000,000 Energy Value deducted. Drawing Purple Talent. Remaining Energy Value: 11.1 billion...]

[Calamity Body]: People or objects around you will always suffer from unforeseen disasters, but your vitality is tenacious and your cultivation speed is doubled.

After reading the talent he drew, Jiang Yifeng found it hard to evaluate.

Good? It was beneficial for cultivation, but the backlash seemed quite troublesome.

With this talent, his family and friends would likely suffer.

It was truly a talent that benefited oneself at the expense of others.

Jiang Yifeng pondered whether to extract this talent as a reward after the simulation.

He couldn't decide just yet.

He wanted to see how severe these unforeseen disasters could be. If they were within a tolerable range, he could accept this talent.

So, he looked at the development in the simulator.

[14th simulation begins.]

[You quickly realize you are in the simulation.]

[This time, you don't rush to leave the Jiang Family Mansion.]

[You want to see how severe the aftereffects of the Calamity Body are.]

[On the first day, your maid Little Peach brings you hot water for washing. She trips over the threshold and gets scalded by the hot water.]

[On the second day, a patrol of guards passes by your courtyard. The wall of your courtyard suddenly collapses, injuring three guards.]

[On the third day, the steward Jiang Dafu comes with people to repair the courtyard wall. The wall collapses again, and Jiang Dafu gets a head injury.]

[On the fourth day, you hear that a batch of goods from the Jiang Clan Firm has issues, and they are selling off shops on a large scale to raise funds for compensation.]

[On the fifth day, a poisonous snake sneaks into your father's room while he sleeps, biting him and causing him to fall into a coma from the poison.]

[On the sixth day, you no longer dare to test it. The danger of the Calamity Body is more terrifying than you imagined.]

[That night, you sneak into your father's room and use spiritual energy to clear the snake venom.]

[Then you leave Green Hills City under the cover of night.]

[You worry that if you stay any longer, your talent's aftereffects will ruin your entire family.]

[On the eighth day, you arrive at the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple.]

[On the ninth day, you clean up the place as usual, burying all the bones in the ruins.]

[Then you begin to cultivate alone.]

[In the first year, you exhaust over 20,000 spirit stones.]

[This is partly because your higher cultivation level allows you to absorb spirit stones faster, and partly because the Calamity Body talent enhances your cultivation speed, so you consume more resources.]

[Of course, the effect of tempering your Golden Core this year is definitely stronger than before.]

[Besides the change in cultivation speed, it's worth mentioning that this year, you no longer need to go out hunting for food.]

[Because after each cultivation session, you can find some injured animals nearby.]

[For example, rabbits that ran into trees, birds with broken wings, or beasts crushed by falling trees.]

[You know these animals are affected by your Calamity Body.]

[They probably got too close to you and suffered some unforeseen disaster.]

[So you can only wipe your mouth and put them on the grill, making their lives more flavorful.]

[In the second year, without spirit stones, your cultivation efficiency slows down.]

[Still, many animals suffer from unforeseen disasters this year.]

[Besides animals and plants, you notice other things around you seem to change as well.]

[You feel the flowers, grass, and trees around you seem to wither.]

[You can only apologize in your heart and continue cultivating.]

[In the third year, the area around the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple is devoid of life.]

[Everywhere is yellowing weeds, even the towering trees have withered, many inexplicably broken in half.]

[You look at the situation, feeling bitter.]

[You know Bai Ruoxue, the "ATM," will arrive soon. If she sees this place like this, will you still be able to get any benefits from her?]

[You are unsure, so you try to clean up the yellowing weeds and broken trees.]

[One day, Bai Ruoxue suddenly arrives.]

[You are still busy cleaning the withered and broken towering trees, not noticing her arrival.]

[Bai Ruoxue sees you but doesn't pay much attention.]

[She looks more at the surrounding environment, her expression sorrowful.]

[She remembers sneaking here when her senior brother was still around.]

[Back then, this place was lush and green, surrounded by towering trees.]

[But now, it's lifeless.]

[Bai Ruoxue doesn't know this is all caused by your Calamity Body. She thinks it's all due to Heavenly Thunder.]

[After a brief moment of sorrow, Bai Ruoxue grabs you and asks your identity. You answer truthfully.]

[Finally, Bai Ruoxue examines you inside and out.]

[When she examines your Golden Core, she looks at you as if she's seen a ghost, her expression incredulous.]

[Bai Ruoxue feels your current situation challenges her understanding.]

[She wants to ask you: A Ten-Grade Golden Core, with unconnected patterns, who taught you to cultivate like this!]

[But despite her doubts, Bai Ruoxue's eyes show excitement.]

[She is almost certain you are not from the Immortal Arrival Sect.]

[And she has already seen through your bone age of twenty. At such an age, you have a Ten-Grade Golden Core.]

[Although it's cultivated wrong, if you can be saved, you might break history and become the unique Eleven-Grade Golden Core.]

[In Bai Ruoxue's eyes, you are now an unpolished gem.]

[She secretly decides to support you and help you grow quickly.]

[If you can achieve an Eleven-Grade Golden Core, once you grow, she believes you might surpass Mo Jingtian, who broke this sealed land millions of years ago.]

[Then, to escape this sealed land, you will surely confront the immortals in the sky.]

[In this way, her senior brother's revenge might be avenged.]

[Bai Ruoxue is already lost in her own thoughts.]

[But soon, Bai Ruoxue's face darkens, and she throws you aside.]
