"You put all those drugs in?" Wang Yuanyi asked in astonishment.
"Yep!" Wang Yulin sounded as though she were asking for praise.
"This batch of drugs is potent as hell. If you put all of them in, you'll poison him to death! I haven't even played with this boy once!"
Wang Yulin's voice turned flustered. "Brother, I didn't know you changed the drugs this time."
"Go check first!"
Wang Yuanyi and Wang Yulin's footsteps echoed through the room.
You hurriedly hid to one side.
Only after watching the brother and sister leave the courtyard did you come out.
You remembered the pot of tea in your room that had already been emptied.
It suddenly dawned on you. The previous owner of this body had been poisoned to death after drinking an excessive dose of an aphrodisiac.
And from the siblings' conversation, it was clear that they had worked together to toy with and harm little boys more than once or twice.
As for why there were no other boys in the academy, you understood after a moment's thought. Those boys who had vanished could basically be confirmed dead.
And you had nearly become one of them.
Your hatred for the siblings surged to its peak.
You sneaked into Wang Yulin's room and searched it, but found no martial arts manuals.
You found only a few storybooks, all about taboo, tortured love where a younger sister loved her brother but could never have him.
You were deeply shaken, repeatedly lamenting that this family was fucked-up beyond belief.
After the shock passed, you decided to steal martial arts manuals from the academy's Scripture Pavilion that night.
You did not leave the room again. Instead, you hid beneath Wang Yulin's bed.
Because once the siblings discovered you were gone, they would definitely grow suspicious and search everywhere for you.
You decided to hide in plain sight and give them a taste of darkness beneath the lamp.
Night soon fell. Having failed to find you, Wang Yulin returned to her room looking exhausted.
Wang Yulin and Wang Yuanyi believed you had escaped the academy and temporarily gave up the search.
After Wang Yulin had fallen completely asleep, you carefully crawled out from beneath the bed.
The little knife in your hand reflected a chilling gleam in the darkness.
Without the slightest hesitation, you slashed open Wang Yulin's throat.
Blood spurted out. Using the quilt from the bed, you pinned the dying, struggling Wang Yulin down hard to keep her from making a sound.
A few breaths later, Wang Yulin stopped struggling.
You lifted the quilt.
Terror and disbelief were forever frozen upon Wang Yulin's lovely face.
She was dead.
You wiped the blood from the knife on her clean, soft undergarment, then quietly left the room.
Under cover of night, you crept outside the Scripture Pavilion.
But two martial artists guarded the Scripture Pavilion. There was no way for you to get inside.
You decided to make some trouble.
You went to the back kitchen and packed all its rice, flour, grain, oil, wine, meat, and other food into the infinitely vast Simulation Device space.
Within that space, the food could be preserved forever.
It was enough food to feed you alone for three or four years.
You returned to the Scripture Pavilion.
Quietly, you splashed the wine stolen from the back kitchen all over the walls around the Scripture Pavilion.
After splashing the wine, you took out a tinderbox and set the Scripture Pavilion ablaze.
The Scripture Pavilion immediately erupted into raging flames.
"Fire! Fire!!"
The two guards of the Scripture Pavilion shouted in panic.
One guard hurried off to call people to put out the fire, while the other remained cautiously at his post.
You had no opportunity to enter the Scripture Pavilion and could only continue lurking nearby.
The guard who had gone for help quickly returned with dozens of people from the academy. Carrying large and small basins, they frantically threw water on the flames.
Wang Kun and Wang Yuanyi also arrived. Their faces were anxious as they barked harsh orders for the academy's instructors and apprentices to extinguish the fire quickly.
The Scripture Pavilion stored not only martial arts manuals, but also a portion of Golden Saber Academy's wealth.
But the blaze was too fierce. Even the Scripture Pavilion's thick doors and windows had burned through, leaving several gaping holes. The whole building was on the verge of collapse.
Your hiding place was closest to the Scripture Pavilion. Seeing that the time was ripe, you suddenly charged out of the darkness.
Like a huge black rat, you sprinted straight toward the Scripture Pavilion!
"Who goes there?!" Wang Yuanyi roared, reacting first.
He violently kicked off with his rear leg, shattering the floor beneath his feet as he charged at you.
After seeing your face clearly, Wang Yuanyi was utterly stunned. "How is it you?!"
"It's your grandpa!"
Ignoring everything else, you threw yourself into the raging fire at the fastest speed of your life.
Wang Yuanyi was too far away to catch you.
He watched helplessly as the sea of flames swallowed you.
Wary of the blaze, he did not dare follow and forcibly stopped himself.
If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!
Wang Yuanyi and Wang Kun exchanged bewildered looks.
They could not understand why you would make such a resolute move toward death.
You rushed into the blazing Scripture Pavilion, and the searing heat immediately burned away the hair on your body.
Your clothes began to catch fire as well, so you simply stripped naked and kept moving.
The high heat scorched your skin, and you soon smelled the fragrance of roasted meat.
The intense pain instead sent adrenaline bursting through you as you searched continuously for martial arts manuals.
You found four manuals. With no time to inspect them, you directly placed them into the Simulation Device space.
You wanted to search further, but discovered that all the remaining manuals had been destroyed by the flames.
But to your delight, you discovered that besides martial arts manuals, the Scripture Pavilion also contained three large chests of gold and silver.
You packed all the gold, silver, and money into the space.
You did not know the exact amount, only that it was a great deal.
You stripped the Scripture Pavilion clean, yet discovered that you still had not burned to death.
Your entire body had been scorched black and carbonized, and you had suffered only a mere fatal wound.
An idea flashed through your mind, and you decided to go outside and show off.
Relying on your last shred of consciousness, you staggered your way to the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion.
When you emerged, blackened from head to toe, Wang Yuanyi, Wang Kun, and everyone in the academy were fucking dumbfounded.
Behind you stood the Scripture Pavilion with flames reaching the heavens, the firelight illuminating the entire night sky.
Before the Scripture Pavilion stood you, charred black.
You stood tall and proud.
You thought you looked damn handsome.
The academy crowd stood frozen as though they had seen a ghost.
Although everyone present could smell the scent of roasted meat, not one of them had the slightest appetite.
With your already burned-out eyes, you made a sweeping motion around the crowd, then said in a muffled voice, "We'll meet again."
Boom—
The burning Scripture Pavilion collapsed with a thunderous crash, burying you beneath it.
You died.
This simulation had ended.
He Yu sat before the table, his thoughts returning to reality.
Although a day had passed in the simulation, no matter how much time passed there, only an instant passed in reality.
He Yu had gained enormously from this simulation—martial arts manuals and wealth alike, everything was there.
"Holy shit, I'm rich!"
He Yu began taking stock of this simulation's gains.
Golden Saber Art (First-Rate Bone Tempering Skill) Spirit Serpent Spear Technique (Third-Rate Skin Refining Skill) Iron Armor Skill (Third-Rate Skin Refining Skill) Cloud Stepping Gait (Second-Rate Movement Martial Art) 381 taels of gold 5,428 taels of silver A small quantity of pearls, jade, and other jewelry 2,670 jin of white rice 834 jin of flour 1,756 jin of vegetables 1,812 jin of meat 299 jin of wine 1,095 jin of medicinal herbs required for Martial Path cultivation
Looking at the long string of reward notifications, He Yu rolled around on the floor three times in excitement.
He had even obtained the four martial arts manuals he had dreamed of!
He Yu could finally use them to embark upon the path of Martial Path cultivation!
Cultivating the Martial Path required vast quantities of food for nourishment and medicinal supplements for assistance. It demanded enormous expenditures of money to supply those needs.
Therefore, wealth was a necessary condition for cultivating the Martial Path.
As it happened, He Yu had also obtained thousands of taels of gold and silver, along with over a thousand jin of medicinal herbs this time. He no longer needed to worry about cultivation resources!
He Yu briefly flipped through the manuals and gained a preliminary understanding of the Martial Path cultivation realms.
There were eight realms in total. From lowest to highest, they were: Skin Tempering Realm, Bone Tempering Realm, Marrow Washing Realm, Divine Organs Realm, Essence Refinement Realm, Dragon Transformation Realm, Grandmaster Realm, and Apex Grandmaster.
Wang Kun, master of Golden Saber Academy, was at the early Bone Tempering Realm.
His son Wang Yuanyi was only twenty-eight, yet he had already reached the Skin Refinement Peak and was not far from Bone Tempering Realm. His Martial Path talent was terrifying indeed.
He Yu knew that if he cultivated normally, he definitely could not match Wang Yuanyi's cultivation speed.
But how could He Yu, a cheat-user, possibly cultivate normally? He only needed to run a few more simulations, and his cultivation would leap three levels on the spot!
When Wang Yuanyi came for him, what awaited him would be Patriarch He Yu!
He Yu knew he could not afford to delay, so he immediately began the next simulation.
You entered the simulation.
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't lose it next time!
