At this moment, Wang Ping spoke up as well.

Wang Ping (66): "I drew a pretty good Golden Finger. Good thing I drew a pretty good Golden Finger, or I'd probably have croaked on the spot too. Tom trembling.jpg."

Cai Yonglong (1): "What happened? What did you run into?"

Wang Ping (66): "It's not that I ran into something. It's that I learned what was about to happen."

The moment Wang Ping said that, the group instantly exploded.

Fang Yun (3): "Holy shit, don't tell me you drew some overpowered Golden Finger like Foreshadowing the Future. Envious and jealous.jpg."

Liu Mei (15): "Going by what the newcomer said, that was most likely it. Same, I'm envious.jpg."

Zhang Hu (5): "Foreshadowing the Future, huh? Among all the Golden Fingers we've seen so far, it could rank in the top three. The newcomer's pretty lucky. His survival ability is basically maxed out now."

Wu Jun (20): "So sour! I'm so sour! Why am I the only one this miserable?! Wuwuwu, I'm so mad!"

Cai Yonglong (1): "Foreshadowing the Future, huh? Not bad, not bad. The newcomer has potential. So, what future did you see?"

Seeing everyone assume that his Golden Finger was Foreshadowing the Future, Wang Ping could not help but freeze.

His first instinct was to explain that his Golden Finger was not Foreshadowing the Future, but the even more absurd Life Simulator.

However, Wang Ping quickly calmed down. Though he was a shut-in, he had still spent several years in society and read plenty of novels. He knew full well that one must never let down one's guard against others.

So, he did not explain.

Wang Ping: "This is what happened."

Wang Ping briefly described the contents of the simulator.

Wu Jun (20): "Uh, that Village Chief seemed pretty nice at first. Why did he suddenly turn hostile and start killing people?"

Liu Mei (15): "I see. I get it now."

Zhang Hu (5): "Tsk tsk tsk, the newcomer really is lucky. If he hadn't awakened Foreshadowing the Future, he probably really would've kicked the bucket. This is truly a classic mistake made by Transmigrators."

Fang Yun (3): "Yeah. Differences in worldview can be fatal."

Wang Ping (66): "So what exactly was the reason?"

The corner of Wang Ping's mouth twitched.

These people were better at speaking in riddles than the last. None of them would spell out the actual reason. It was infuriatingly helpless.

Cai Yonglong (1): "You people, does bullying a newcomer feel that good?"

At that moment, Cai Yonglong spoke up too, and Wang Ping felt a little touched.

Then, in the very next second, his expression froze.

Cai Yonglong (1): "To be fair, bullying newcomers really does feel good. Count me in. Smirk.jpg."

Wang Ping (66): "."

Wu Jun (20): "I think you should stop speaking in riddles, or the newcomer's mentality is going to collapse. That said, I'm actually curious myself too, o(* ̄︶ ̄*)o."

Liu Mei (15): "It's simple. You think modern snacks are delicacies, but in reality, they aren't. So-called modern snacks are packed with all sorts of messy things like additives and preservatives. Even the ingredients have been treated with pesticides. There used to be a joke online: a naïve Transmigrator thinks that giving instant noodles to an emperor will make him linger over them forever, but the moment he pours in the seasoning packet, he gets beheaded for poisoning the emperor."

Fang Yun (3): "Liu Mei's analogy is pretty accurate, though not entirely so. Ordinary people in ancient times might not be able to taste anything wrong. But if it's a world with supernatural powers, they can easily sense whether what they ate is poisonous. Powerful beings can even tell before it enters their stomachs."

Zhang Hu (5): "The two above have explained it thoroughly. So now you know where you went wrong, right? At the same time, we can basically determine that the world you transmigrated into isn't an ordinary one. It's a world with supernatural powers, and that Village Chief is definitely no ordinary person."

Wang Ping: "."

After reading the words of the Transmigrator Seniors, Wang Ping went numb.

Good heavens, danger really lurked everywhere. There was no guarding against it.

One tiny detail done wrong, and he would kick the bucket.

Who could have imagined that chocolate would be seen as poisonous by people from another world?

Wang Ping (66): "Then what should I do now?"

Cai Yonglong (1): "What else can you do? Foreshadow the future where you choose not to take out the snacks."

Wang Ping (66): "My Golden Finger can only be used once a day. The number of uses refreshes at midnight."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Uh, once a day? Alright, looks like your Golden Finger isn't as powerful as I imagined. Still, even so, it's stronger than many Golden Fingers."

Liu Mei (15): "If you're bold, you can just charge ahead. Of course, I'd advise you to be more cautious and wait until midnight for the number of uses to refresh."

Zhang Hu (5): "Liu Mei is right. Under normal circumstances, you would have no choice but to take a risk, but since you have a Golden Finger that foreshadows the future, there's no need to rush."

Fang Yun (3): "By the way, have you considered the possibility of being attacked by strange creatures while spending the night alone in the forest? Even if you're not far from the village, it isn't safe, right?"

Wu Jun (20): "I remember No. 36 was in exactly that situation, right? He hesitated for a long time over whether to enter the tribe ahead, then got bitten by a poisonous insect and died a miserable death on the spot."

Cai Yonglong (1): "Little Wu is right. Staying outside isn't safe either. No. 36's death was pretty tragic. His Golden Finger could be said to be the strongest one we've seen so far. As long as he killed people, he could grow stronger. If he had just kept his head down and developed, he would definitely have become invincible in the future."

Fang Yun (3): "That's why transmigration is just too dangerous. Even if you have an awesome Golden Finger, without luck, it's all in vain. If you're meant to die, you'll still die."

Wu Jun (20): "Stop it. If you keep talking, I really feel like the newcomer's mentality is going to collapse."

Wang Ping (66): "."

Wang Ping was truly numb.

Good heavens, he had originally planned to wait until his simulation attempts refreshed before entering, thinking that would be safer.

But now, it seemed that was not necessarily the case.

Danger really was everywhere. One careless step, and he would kick the bucket.

For a moment, the secret delight he had felt at obtaining the awesome Golden Finger known as the Life Simulator vanished into thin air.

In the novels he had read before, protagonists who obtained simulator systems could survive with ease, then rise rapidly and roam the world unhindered.

He had once thought his own future was bright. Although dying at the very start had made him complain for a while, he had still harbored fanciful hopes in his heart.

Now it seemed that even after obtaining a powerful Golden Finger, getting carried away was unacceptable.

He had to pay attention to every detail and be cautious beyond caution.

Zhang Hu (5): "The newcomer stopped talking. Looks like his mentality really has collapsed."

Liu Mei (15): "You people only know how to bully newcomers. We're all alike, so we should help each other. Wang Ping, based on what you described earlier, I think the people in this village are actually pretty decent. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let you enter the village. So you can absolutely go to the village. Of course, that's only my personal judgment. Whether you go or not, you still have to make that decision yourself."

Wu Jun (20): "I've been wronged! I'm a very, very good person."

Zhang Hu (5): "I'm a good person too. Innocent eyes.jpg."
