[Simulation begins--]

[Day One. Inverted City hung high overhead as you fought Vicious Ghosts upon the blood-red earth.

You developed a way to absorb Ghost Qi, and your strength rapidly increased. Your Lightning Thunder Fist successfully broke through to Second Tier.

That night, you captured a female ghost and pasted a poster of a teacher onto her head.

To the BGM of rolling marbles, she lay prone and played Poker Cards with you all night.

Your Invincible Body broke through to Second Tier.]

[Day Two. You went to the hospital and captured every Ghost Infant. You fought the female ghost in the basement, severely wounded her, and found a way to become the Ghost Infant's Father.

You took the Purple River Cart from the female ghost. After eating it, your Dual Pupils mutated and broke through to Second Tier.

Second Tier Dual Pupils could fire a beam of Gray Light. Now, whoever you glared at died.]

[Day Three. The military Search and Rescue Team entered the city to search for survivors. You helped one of their squads and earned their goodwill.

They invited you to go to the Shelter Camp. You refused, but said you could cooperate with them.

That night, you made Ghost Infants into a potion. Drinking it could accelerate the absorption of Ghost Qi.

Taking advantage of the potion's effects, you captured three large, pale female ghosts, covered their faces, and played Landlord with them all night.]

[Day Four. You returned to the hotel and found many Paper People in the corridor.

You saw Vicious Ghosts inside them and black threads on their backs. You found a mark on them that read "Paper Figure Maker."

You wiped away the mark, and all the black threads behind the Paper People snapped.

A twisted ghostly face appeared in the void. You tried to punch him in the face, but failed.

But this only made him angrier.]

[Day Five. You successfully claimed the Paper People for yourself and sent them to scout the map.

You discovered that North City District was shrouded in smog, while East City District had many lanterns.

The Paper People who entered South City District saw a ten-meter-tall giant, then lost contact.

You vaguely saw that he was wearing a floral shirt.]

[Day Six. You found a female survivor in a building. She was being gang-beaten by a group of Vicious Ghosts.

You discovered that she was incredibly fierce. Not only could she fight Vicious Ghosts hand-to-hand, she could also use Telekinesis.

Through Dual Pupils, you discovered that her Telekinesis came from a semi-transparent tentacle.

You helped her kill the Vicious Ghosts, and she was very grateful to you.

You invited her to research special abilities with you. After thinking it over, she reluctantly agreed.]

[Day Seven. After helping her treat her injuries, you conducted several tests and offered your opinions.

Your rigorous attitude earned her initial trust. She told you her name was Shen Yingning.]

[Day Eight. You and Shen Yingning traveled together and encountered a military Transport Team headed for the War Reserve Warehouse.

You followed them there and killed the Skin Ghost in the warehouse.

After obtaining the supplies, the military was deeply grateful to you.]

[Day Nine. You used the Skin Ghost to make a bag. It was only the size of an ordinary pocket, but could hold an entire truckload of supplies.]

[Day Ten. You brought Shen Yingning to the Eastern Suburbs.

That night, the Human Head Lanterns awakened. You had Shen Yingning use Telekinesis to briefly restrain the lanterns, then used Gray Light to blast them apart one by one.

You discovered that Gray Light's single-target damage was frighteningly high, but the strain on your body was also enormous.

After absorbing the Human Head Lanterns' Ghost Qi, your Lightning Thunder Fist successfully advanced to Third Tier.]
