[Would you like to replay your simulated life?]

"440 Simulation Coins?"

Good heavens, this one trip had nearly matched the total of everything he had gained since obtaining the Simulator.

Sure enough, fighting bosses was where the money was!

"Only 9 Simulation Coins left until Diligence Compensates for Lack of Talent. But if Spiritual Vision is my goal, I'm short by a full 9,009 Simulation Coins. Sigh, the road ahead is long and heavy."

If the Melon Skin Hat had not come knocking with that photograph, He Zhao would definitely have gone to a bar and drunk himself lightly tipsy to ease the pressure in his mind.

"Forget it, keep grinding. Who knows when that thing will come knocking? What if killing that Little Ghost underling of theirs enrages the owner of the photo? Wouldn't this day next year become the anniversary of my death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Zhao once again spent the 10-Simulation-Coin admission ticket, along with 1 Simulation Coin for the [Child of the Night] talent, to enter [Qinghe Town: Demon Subjugation Chapter].

Same old rules: use the pig to kill the demon, play dumb and act insane, strike back from the brink, and perish together!

He Zhao awoke from his daze and expressionlessly checked the Simulator's evaluation.

[Congratulations, you survived for four days.]

[Rating: E.]

[Enemies killed: Demon Eater (1).]

[Rewards: 30 Simulation Coins (rating).]

[My Wallet: 1,420 Simulation Coins.]

[Would you like to replay your simulated life?]

After browsing through it, He Zhao immediately opened the Past Life Mall he had long been coveting.

[Diligence Compensates for Lack of Talent: A genius consists of 99% talent and 1% sweat. Though you possess only that one percent, as long as you work hard, you can make up for some of your shortcomings. Price: 1,000 Simulation Coins.]

After a flurry of operations, 1,000 Simulation Coins vanished in an instant.

[My Wallet: 420 Simulation Coins.]

[Purchase successful. Enjoy the game!]

"Simulator, list the skills I've mastered."

[

Advanced Medical Mathematics (Roughly Understand): 25/500

Medical Biology (Roughly Understand): 15/500

Medical Physics (Roughly Understand): 65/100

Systematic Anatomy (Proficient): 200/500

Toxicology (Proficient): 499/500

]

"Only show what I learned in the Simulator."

He Zhao saw that after five years, only two of his skills had reached Proficient, while all the rest merely skimmed the surface at Roughly Understand. Fortunately, he had not chosen to intern at a hospital. Otherwise, he would surely have become a quack cursed by everyone.

"Good thing I have a good dad. Others are born as oxen and horses, while I was born straight into Rome."

After lamenting life for a moment, he swiftly looked toward the information that had popped up in the upper-left corner of his vision.

[Burning Rage Method (Incomplete) Proficient: 391/500.]

All alone. It looked rather pitiful.

Ruthless He Zhao was not surprised in the slightest. After all, his former lifetime of learning had turned into talents and then been tossed into the title fusion voucher. How could the Simulator possibly leave behind a pile of loopholes?

"Sigh, when ordinary people cultivate the Burning Rage Method, they need to wait at least several days between sessions. The longer the interval, the better the results of cultivating it again. The best method, however, is to cultivate it once a month."

His past self in [Qinghe Town: Demon Subjugation Chapter] was not without talent. It was simply that he had only started half a year ago, and the Hetu Dao Master had secretly cared for him since childhood. How many things could there have been to make him angry?

It was understandable that his cultivation was not high.

"If only I could keep cultivating it." Thinking of his helpless death, He Zhao sighed.

Boom—

Within his spiritual world, the gray Void Fire burned. Moments later, it left only ashes before going out.

[Burning Rage Method (Incomplete) Proficient: 395/500.]

"Hm? I can still cultivate it!"

This discovery left He Zhao utterly baffled. That should not have been possible.

So, he recalled all the various fancy ways he had died since obtaining the Simulator.

Within his spiritual world, flames blazed fiercely.

[Burning Rage Method (Incomplete) Minor Accomplishment: 5/1000.]

After that, He Zhao could make no further progress.

"Did I find a BUG in the Simulator? It feels like I only began cultivating the Burning Rage Method after four days had passed. No, it doesn't just feel that way. I really did spend four days in the Simulation Scenario!"

Ruthless He Zhao's eyes gleamed as he once again spent 11 Simulation Coins to enter [Qinghe Town: Demon Subjugation Chapter].

[Congratulations, you survived for four days.]

[Rating: E.]

[Enemies killed: Demon Eater (1).]

[Rewards: 30 Simulation Coins (rating).]

[My Wallet: 849 Simulation Coins.]

[Would you like to replay your simulated life?]

He Zhao could not be bothered with anything else and recalled his anger to cultivate.

[Burning Rage Method (Incomplete) Minor Accomplishment: 115/1000.]

"Simulator, you're forever the god!"

Daily face-changing (√).

"The longer I stay in the Simulation Scenario, the stronger my cultivation progress in the real world will be, won't it?"

He Zhao stroked his chin in thought. He felt that the next time he entered, he should not keep using the same old routine.

A higher rating, a longer stay.

"My understanding of Sacrificial Vessels isn't very detailed. Even now, I still don't know exactly how to slow the blood patterns after using them. The Bone Dagger I obtained in the Spirit Realm adds one-tenth of its progress every time it is used."

"Those Unusual Scholars must have methods to ease it, perhaps even to remove the revival caused by frequent use of Sacrificial Vessels. Otherwise, the Hetu Dao Master could not have entrenched himself in Wancheng for more than a decade without changing a single day, only to die early beneath three Sacrificial Vessels."

"Besides, I need to learn more about Secret Blood Warriors. Ever since becoming Secret Blood—no, under the powerful suppression of the Spirit Realm, I never used Golden Powder or the Jade Dagger. I shouldn't call myself a Secret Blood Warrior. Perhaps I should be called an Original Blood Warrior?"

"And they surely have ways to speed up the conversion of Mutated Blood within the body. Through natural conversion, the 10% Mutated Blood in the body within the Simulation Scenario would need at least three to five years before advancing to 20%."

He Zhao memorized his next plan deep in his mind, then smacked his forehead.

"That's right! I almost forgot. The Black Broken Blade the Hetu Dao Master threw down at the end must have some special purpose. I'll find a chance to pry out information about it."

After clearing the [Qinghe Town: Demon Subjugation Chapter] dungeon once more, his wallet had swelled.

[My Wallet: 1,278 Simulation Coins.]

"I can finally bring the [Diligence Compensates for Lack of Talent] talent in."

Just as He Zhao was about to begin the Simulation Scenario, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have four lottery draws left.

This time, he was staking everything on one throw. Keeping them would not make them breed.

So he concentrated, and a Lottery Tube appeared before his eyes.

"Bless me, dear dad."

After taking a deep breath, the Hetu Dao Master, Old Huang, and the others he had once encountered appeared before him one after another.

The Lottery Tube gave a light shake, and a Bamboo Slip fell out.

Clatter!

When he turned it over, he saw a [.] written on it.
