"Beep beep! Host command received. Searching simulated worlds... "Beep beep! 100 Simulation Points consumed. Simulated world search successful. Selected world—Heavenly Azure Realm. The host's new life simulation is about to begin. Please choose your identity."
At Gu Han's command, the transparent attribute panel before his eyes rippled like flowing water. Then, line after line of text began to appear:
Identity: ①: True Sect Disciple You were born into one of the world's most powerful Cultivation True Sects. Everything in the world could be taken at will by your sect and several other True Sects. Your sect was immensely powerful, with countless Cultivation Families and Cultivation Sects as its vassals. Countless mortals, cultivators, and great figures of cultivation sects crawled at your sect's feet. You possessed exceptionally formidable cultivation aptitude and an immensely powerful master. From the moment you were born, you had already surpassed the endpoint countless people struggled their whole lives to reach. Your future might also shine brilliantly, pressing down upon the heads of trillions upon trillions of people. Simulation Points required to exchange for this identity: 5,000–9,999 points ②: Immortal Sect Disciple You were born within a noble Immortal Sect. Your Immortal Sect was incomparably powerful, commanding vast territories and possessing countless Cultivation Families and mortal kingdoms as vassals. Countless mortals and cultivators crawled at your sect's feet. You had a powerful master and relatively high cultivation aptitude. From the moment you were born, you had already surpassed the endpoint of countless mortals and most cultivators. Your future might also be bright. Simulation Points required to exchange for this identity: 2,000–4,999 points ③: Cultivation Family Descendant You were born into a Cultivation Family. Though your Lineage was not as powerful as an Immortal Sect, in the eyes of countless martial artists of the jianghu and ordinary commoners, it stood high above them, immortal beings untouched by the Mortal World! You had family elders with ordinary cultivation, and you might possess average cultivation aptitude. From the moment you were born, you had already surpassed countless ordinary mortals of the Mortal World. Simulation Points required to exchange for this identity: 1,000–1,999 points ④: Mortal Disciple: You were born in the Mortal World. You might be a prince or noble, a descendant of the jianghu, or even a beggar by the roadside. You might even be disabled, missing limbs, deaf from birth and unable to speak. You had no powerful patron and no cultivation aptitude whatsoever. Even your Martial Path Talent might be extremely weak. The cruelty of the world was laid bare upon you. You were one among the countless ordinary masses of the world, and perhaps your birth was merely to make up the numbers. Simulation Points required to exchange for this identity: 0–999 points
Line after line of text surfaced, and one selectable identity after another appeared before Gu Han's eyes. The four identities listed above were merely broad categories, so their Simulation Point ranges were fairly wide. Once Gu Han opened one of those four categories, there would be further subdivisions of identities within.
For example, True Sect Disciples were divided into Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, Core Disciples, and so on.
Mortal Disciples, meanwhile, included divisions such as princes of a kingdom, legitimate sons of ministers, descendants of martial sects, and more. Every one of them had rows upon rows of clearly marked Simulation Point prices, leaving Gu Han dumbstruck.
People often said: all things are fate; not half a point lies in human hands!
Yet here in the simulator, that saying did not hold true at all. Not only could one control one's own fate, but so long as one could afford the Simulation Points, one could choose it at will. It was simply inconceivable, shocking Gu Han beyond measure.
But unfortunately, no matter which world it was, it had always been brimming with malice toward the poor.
These identities were tempting, but when the simulator had searched for a world just now, all of Gu Han's savings had already been consumed. Right now, he did not have even a single Simulation Point on him. How was he supposed to choose?
In truth, there was no choice at all!
"Alas! Simulator, spend 0 Simulation Points and choose Mortal Disciple for me!"
Gu Han sighed inwardly, shedding tears of poverty as he silently replied.
"Beep beep. Host command received. 0 Simulation Points consumed. Identity selection successful. Please choose your talents next."
The system's mechanical voice sounded out. Then the transparent panel before him rippled like flowing water once more and changed again.
Available Talents: ① Innate Divine Strength Your strength was greater than that of ordinary people from birth. Without cultivating any martial arts, you possessed power far beyond that of normal people. In an era without supernatural power, you would be the fiercest general on the battlefield. Simulation Points required to exchange for this talent: 30 points ② Broad Meridians Your meridians were naturally thick and different from those of ordinary people. When cultivating inner force, your cultivation speed would be faster than that of ordinary people. When facing enemies, even if you used the same martial arts, their power would be far greater than your opponent's. Simulation Points required to exchange for this talent: 100 points ③ Astonishing Comprehension Your comprehension had been exceptionally high since childhood. You learned any martial art with extreme speed. While others might need three months to learn something, you might need only three days. You were the embodiment of genius, the incarnation of wisdom! Simulation Points required to exchange for this talent: 500 points ④ Martial Path Talent This was the comprehensive manifestation of your talent in the martial path. It included many martial qualifications, such as meridians, comprehension, physique, and more. It was divided into four levels: weak, ordinary, high-grade, and peerless. They respectively required 0–30 points, 50–100 points, 300–500 points, and 500–999 points. ⑤ Strong Physique
One talent option after another appeared before Gu Han's eyes again. Every one of them was immensely tempting, making him drool with desire and wish he could possess them immediately.
Unfortunately, the poor were not worthy of spending money in games. Looking at the Simulation Points required behind each talent, Gu Han once again silently shed tears of poverty.
"Choose that weak Martial Path Talent!"
Gu Han answered the system inwardly.
The threshold for martial path cultivation had always been very low to begin with. Almost everyone possessed Martial Path Talent, and Gu Han was only making this choice on the off chance.
Because weak Martial Path Talent was not a broad category here among the talents and had no further subdivisions. What if luck favored him, allowing him to win big with a small stake and select the highest-tier weak Martial Path Talent—the one that normally required a full 30 Simulation Points to exchange for? Wouldn't that be a huge profit?
"Beep beep! The host's identity and talent selections are complete. The simulated world is officially opening. Please prepare yourself!"
Just as Gu Han was deep in thought, the system's mechanical voice rang out in his mind once again. Immediately afterward, a blinding white light swallowed his entire field of vision, and in the next moment, he lost consciousness.
If you can't find it by searching the book title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!
