First Paid Simulation!

"Thank you, Village Chief." Wang Ping accepted the Spirit Stones and thanked him with a smile.

"No need to be so polite." The Village Chief patted Wang Ping on the shoulder, then shuffled away with his back bent.

Now that they had found the Essence Nurturing Grass, it was time to discuss how to deal with those two Gale Leopards.

"Village Chief is closer to Brother Wang Ping than he is to me now. Ten Spirit Stones—he just gave them away without batting an eye."

Off to the side, Chi Feng stared at the Spirit Stones in Wang Ping's hand and muttered.

Ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones were extremely precious. Even many Postnatal Realm martial artists would be tempted by them.

Yet the moment Brother Wang Ping asked, the Village Chief gave them to him. And from what the Village Chief had said, if Brother Wang Ping wanted more, all he had to do was ask.

"You can't use Low-Grade Spirit Stones yet. What's there to envy?"

Wang Ping laughed helplessly and rubbed his head.

"I'm not envious. But Brother Wang Ping, you have even less use for them, don't you? What do you need Spirit Stones for?"

Chi Feng shook his head in rebuttal, then asked curiously.

"Children shouldn't ask so many questions. Your goal is to reach the Martial Dao Peak and revive your parents, isn't it? Shouldn't you hurry up and practice your fists?" Wang Ping smiled, then walked away carrying the Spirit Stones.

Chi Feng rolled his eyes at him and did not follow.

After Wang Ping returned home, he said inwardly, "Simulator, I want to conduct an additional simulation."

"Ding, an additional simulation requires the consumption of one Low-Grade Spirit Stone. Do you wish to pay immediately?"

"Pay."

Wang Ping answered without hesitation.

Although spending an entire Low-Grade Spirit Stone at once pained him greatly, it was money that had to be spent.

Ding, Life Simulation is starting.

Ding, talents are being refreshed. Congratulations, Host, you have successfully refreshed White Talent: Sword Dao Genius; White Talent: Fist Dao Genius. Please choose one talent within one minute.

White Talent: Sword Dao Genius: After obtaining this talent, your aptitude in the Sword Dao will improve to a certain extent, allowing you to become a Sword Dao genius in the eyes of ordinary people.

White Talent: Fist Dao Genius: After obtaining this talent, your aptitude in the Fist Dao will improve to a certain extent, allowing you to become a Fist Dao genius in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Oh? It actually refreshed talents? Paid simulations really are better."

Wang Ping could not help smiling as he looked at the simulation content.

"System, I choose White Talent: Sword Dao Genius."

After thinking it over, Wang Ping silently spoke in his heart.

There was no saying whether the Sword Dao or Fist Dao was stronger.

Compared to using his fists, he preferred using a sword.

He could not help it. In his previous life, he had watched too many immortal hero dramas and fantasy novels about sword-riding. He had always longed to roam the world with a sword at his side.

"Ding, talent selection successful. Simulation begins."

On March 10th, Great Xia Calendar Year 480, you ate meat in great mouthfuls that evening and told Chi Feng the story of Dou Po.

On March 11th, the Village Chief led the villagers to successfully kill the two Gale Leopards and harvest the Essence Nurturing Grass. After returning, the Village Chief held a grand feast in celebration and gave you one stalk of Essence Nurturing Grass.

On August 1st, because you cultivated with increasing diligence, you successfully broke through to the Flesh Training Late Stage. After considering it, you revealed Li Huai's matter. The Village Chief was greatly alarmed, but ultimately trusted you and decided to move the entire village.

On August 3rd, the people of Chi Village left Blackwind Forest. You were forced to separate from the group and remain in Blackwind Town.

After that, you survived in Blackwind Town with extreme caution. You opened a breakfast stall selling buns to conceal your identity. Because your buns tasted quite good, they became popular with many people, which surprised you greatly.

On April 8th, Great Xia Calendar Year 486, you successfully broke through to the Skin Refining Realm Late Stage. You were overjoyed. This time, you did not choose to marry, intending to lie low until death.

On August 1st, Great Xia Calendar Year 487, you successfully broke through to the Skin Training Realm Peak. However, on that day, the demonic beasts in Blackwind Forest fell into unrest, forming a beast tide. You were unfortunately caught up in it and, while fleeing, were bitten to death and devoured by a demonic beast.

Because of your death, this simulation has ended.

"Dead again?"

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content, somewhat speechless.

Besides that, the system had not displayed any text at all about the talent he had chosen. It truly was rather useless.

It should be said that the simulated him had perhaps learned sword techniques, but had barely used them and never had a chance to display them. He had simply been lying low and cultivating bitterly.

Yet even so, he had still been unable to escape death.

Only, this time he had survived a little longer—seven years and five months.

Ding, reward generation successful. The Host may choose one of the following rewards:

①. Skin Training Realm Peak cultivation.

"System, I choose ①."

Wang Ping's expression was subtle as he looked at the reward.

There was only one option. Was there even anything to choose?

"Ding, selection successful."

The system's voice rang out.

Then, Wang Ping felt his body grow hot. Crackling sounds came from all over him, while a powerful surge of blood and qi rose within him, giving him the illusion that he possessed boundless strength.

Only several minutes later did this abnormal sensation finally fade. Feeling the changes in himself, Wang Ping's face filled with joy.

Compared to before, the lines of his muscles had become nearly perfect, while his skin had turned a healthy wheat color and become incomparably tough.

At the Skin Training Realm Peak, ordinary blades and swords would find it difficult to cut him. He could also withstand blunt attacks to a greater extent, dispersing their force and thus protecting his internal organs.

"This feeling of raising my cultivation so easily is just too good."

Wang Ping could not help sighing.

However, after conducting a special simulation, he had lost the newcomer benefit of free simulations. From now on, he could only conduct one free simulation every ten days.

Still, there was nothing to be done about that.

To become stronger, and to seek a way to break the deadlock, he could only use special simulations.

Of course, free simulation attempts could be stored. That was at least a small comfort, since they could be used at crucial moments in the future to avoid danger and find a path to survival.

"By the way, System, what are the differences between talent grades?"

At this point, Wang Ping remembered the matter of talent grades and asked curiously.

"Talent grades, from lowest to highest, are White Talent, Green Talent, Blue Talent, Red Talent, Purple Talent, Gold Talent, and Seven-Colored Talent. Talents of different colors differ enormously. At the same time, the higher the talent grade, the lower the probability of refreshing it."

The system's voice rang out.

"I see." Wang Ping nodded in understanding.

"System, how many Spirit Stones will another additional simulation cost?"

Then, Wang Ping asked inwardly.

"A second additional simulation requires two Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

The system's voice rang out.

"Two? I can accept that." Wang Ping sighed in relief and said, "System, I want to conduct a new Life Simulation."

"Ding, Life Simulation is starting. Talents are being refreshed."

The system's voice rang out.
