As for the B-rank test.

Since he couldn't pass it with absolute certainty, why put himself through that suffering? It wasn't as though he absolutely had to enter the Elite Training Camp.

Yang Wu's original plan had been to reveal his talent, join the Limit Martial Hall early, then buy manuals so he could rapidly farm experience and insights in future simulations.

However, after signing all the contracts, he remembered that Limit Martial Hall warriors needed to access the internal Limit Home network in order to purchase manuals.

And to enter Limit Home, one had to become an official Limit Martial Hall warrior. In other words, he had to pass the Martial Warrior Combat Exam on August 1.

Even the relatively open HR Alliance required a warrior ID.

Those were the rules!

Of course, if one had an influential background or possessed Planet Level strength beyond the War God Level, one could choose to ignore them.

Rules could be flexible, after all.

There were still two months until the Martial Warrior Combat Exam. Although the results of revealing his talent this time had differed somewhat from his expectations—

Yang Wu had come up with a new idea for the simulation. The next two months would be perfect for testing it out.

The following morning.

Dressed in nothing more than casual clothes, Yang Wu arrived at the entrance to Mingyue Community.

Though he was supposedly moving house, for a lone wolf like Yang Wu, it was more like changing locations to keep lazing around.

Besides, why bring old clothes and belongings to a new home? He simply replaced everything with new items, packed up the old ones, and left them in his home at Landu Garden Community.

As long as the building didn't collapse, that home would always be his. He could return and stay there whenever he wanted.

His move-in notice had already been issued, and Yang Wu wasn't in a hurry to go inside. So, he began chatting with Uncle Qin at the gate.

He had quite a favorable impression of the old man. At the very least, every time Yang Wu had attended the Quasi-Warrior assessment before, Uncle Qin had sincerely reminded him of things to watch out for.

After chatting with Uncle Qin for roughly half an hour, Yang Wu got up and left, entering Mingyue Community without obstruction.

Although Yang Wu had come here several times and was already familiar with the route to Limit Hall, his state of mind was completely different as he walked through Mingyue Community now.

There was a feeling known as belonging.

From a psychological standpoint, outsiders and insiders felt completely different.

At the center of Mingyue Community stood the towering Limit Hall, surrounded by rows of neatly arranged detached villas.

"Mingyue Community!"

Looking at the villas nestled amid little bridges and flowing water, Yang Wu couldn't help but sigh.

Who still remembered that Galaxy Lord Luo Feng's original dream had merely been to own a slightly better house?

After swiftly completing the move-in procedures on the second floor of Limit Hall, Yang Wu was led by the relevant staff to the entrance of his villa.

This luxurious villa before him would be his new den from now on.

But when he saw the house number, he froze.

No. 198!

If Yang Wu remembered correctly, Luo Feng's home was No. 199. He walked a short distance to another villa, and sure enough, it was Villa No. 199.

Right next door to his.

Next-door neighbors?

Uh... was that a coincidence?

Time slowly passed.

June 28, Villa No. 198, Mingyue Community, second-floor training hall.

Bang!

"56,007 kg."

A string of numbers was clearly displayed on the fist-strength testing machine's screen.

"This rate of improvement is still far too slow."

Compared with the previous result of 55,273 kilograms, he had only gained 734 kilograms in over twenty days.

Without the assistance of other resources, relying solely on cultivating Genetic Force increased his punching strength by only about 36 kilograms per day.

This turtle-like pace was unbearably slow.

"I still need cheats!"

It was hard to return to frugality after luxury. Having gotten used to the explosive growth in strength that came from cheating, returning to this normal rate of improvement felt utterly miserable.

[Simulation Panel]: Simulation Attempts: 1 (can be accumulated at the same stage) Simulation Period: The next three years (current) Cooldown Refresh: One month (current) Extraction Options: 1. Insights, 2. Experiences, 3. Opportunities. Setting 1: The simulation is based on the current state and simulates the future for extraction. Setting 2: The self within the simulation possesses no memories from before transmigration and no talent for Extract the Future. Setting 3: If death occurs during the simulation, the simulation ends upon the first death. Setting 4: With the opportunity option, causal threads are automatically blocked for half an hour before and after the simulation... Setting 5: (Pending update)

With the third simulation about to begin, Yang Wu carefully studied every setting. Then, his gaze settled firmly on the fourth one.

Setting 4: With the opportunity option, causal threads are automatically blocked for half an hour before and after the simulation...

This setting suddenly made him realize that he could be bolder. He could add something more... He found a sheet of paper in a drawer and busied himself for a while.

[Simulation begins!] [You felt dazed for a moment, then discovered a folded sheet of paper on the table. You were puzzled, because you did not remember placing any paper there.] [You opened it and looked inside. The contents nearly made you cry out—it contained examples of events that had yet to happen, as well as a list of special treasures: Plant Spirits, the Black God Set, Mu Ya Crystals...] [You had never even heard of these things. You could not find any information about them even after searching online. You remained skeptical and decided to test the nearest upcoming event first.] [On July 1, two days later, just as the paper stated, Luo Feng took part in the Quasi-Warrior assessment and passed. He was then imprisoned for assaulting someone, where he awakened his spiritual reader talent.] [Could everything on the paper be real? Were these events that were about to happen? The special treasures listed on it had their times and locations marked with perfect clarity.] [Then there was the mysterious Mist Island, the mild and highly effective Plant Spirits, and the Mu Ya Crystals that could allow someone to directly advance into an existence beyond the War God Level... At that thought, your breathing began to quicken...] [However, you ultimately held yourself back. Those things were still too far removed from the current you.] [Looking at the paper's contents, you remained uneasy and decided to test it once more.] [On August 1, you passed the Martial Warrior Combat Exam and became a Limit Martial Hall warrior.] [With Zhuge Tao's financial support, you directly purchased top-tier weapons and equipment, as well as the first two levels of the spear technique manual World Destruction.] [You chose to enter the Wilderness Area alone and slaughter monsters on a large scale. The days passed, and before you knew it, November had arrived. You came to County City 0231 and waited for the rat tide to erupt on the twenty-ninth.] [Because you deliberately paid attention to it, you often ventured into the wilderness to investigate the abnormalities surrounding the rat tide's outbreak.] [As time passed, although you still had not discovered anything unusual, you did not relax your vigilance because of it.]
