Shocking! Someone Used a Sliding Tackle to Deliver Takeout

The Gold Necklace greatly boosted Jiang Qiao's initiative. Full of anticipation, he began the second round of simulation.

[The Eerie Simulator has been activated!]

[Currently available talents for fusion: "Morning and Evening Pills," "The Dying," "Uncle Pan's Admonition," "Sliding Master"...]

[Morning and Evening Pills (C-rank): At dawn and at night, you can always roll some strange substances into the right pills, producing excellent effects when people take them. Such as paralysis, death, or being cursed.]

[The Dying: (B-rank): Old legends say that those on the verge of death can see another world. With only one breath left, you lie in bed and gain a marvelous experience.]

[Uncle Pan's Admonition (C-rank): You're still young. Uncle is afraid you can't handle it, so let Uncle do it.]

[Sliding Master (B-rank): When a Vicious Ghost lunges at you, you slide tackle it and punch its abdomen hard. It falls to the ground, and you take the chance to adjust posture. When it lunges at you again, you slide tackle it... Repeat this, and you can battle ghosts to the death!]

The talents were still bizarre. Their ranks were about fifty-fifty with the last simulation.

He just didn't understand why a talent like "The Dying" was classified as B-rank.

Sure, it let you see Vicious Ghosts, but your body was weak as hell.

You couldn't even get out of bed. So what if you could see them?

Could you jump up and hit a Vicious Ghost in the knees or something?

In the end, Jiang Qiao chose "Sliding Master." He felt that a sliding tackle counted as an attacking stance.

[Talent selection complete--]

[Current talents: "Mason," "Sliding Master"]

[Beginning Weird Simulation!]

[Day One. A bluish haze blanketed the city. Water, electricity, and gas were all cut off. You stood by the window and could see nothing. But the screams that occasionally rang out told you that Vicious Ghosts had begun slaughtering people on a massive scale!

Well prepared, you did not panic at all. You placed several soccer balls in the living room and constantly practiced sliding tackles!]

[Day Two. You heard someone knocking on the door.

Through the peephole,

you discovered a faceless Vicious Ghost outside, wearing a Gold Necklace.

When you stared at the Vicious Ghost, the Vicious Ghost stared back at you!

It opened the door and walked in on its own, then asked whether you had seen its face.

The way it acted as though it were returning to its own home made you feel offended.

Without another word, you immediately performed a sliding tackle!

The Vicious Ghost lost its balance. Taking the opportunity, you bricked it into the wall and took its Gold Necklace.

That night, you reinforced the wall.]

[Day Three. In the morning, you heard the faint sound of loudspeakers in the distance. The Search and Rescue Team was entering the city to look for survivors.

At noon, you dealt with a round of Orléans. Just as you were about to go to the living room and continue practicing sliding tackles, you heard movement coming from the toilet.

A gaunt Vicious Ghost crawled out of it!

You could not understand how it had done that, but you were deeply shocked!

The moment it saw you, it lunged at you!

With a chuckle, you slid forward and prepared to reach out and strike its abdomen hard!

But it actually exploded in midair!]

[You were careless and failed to dodge.]

[You died!]

[This Weird Simulation has ended!]

[The host survived for a total of three days. Cooldown time: 6 minutes]

[Congratulations, host. You acquired the talent "Sliding Master" in this simulation. It will be automatically used in the next simulation.]

[Congratulations, host. You acquired one "Gold Necklace" in this simulation. This item can be manifested in reality.]

Fuck!

How could a Vicious Ghost crawl out of the toilet?

And it could fucking self-destruct too!

Was that really so flashy?

Could Ghost Lao Ba have followed the smell here?

And Ghost Lao Ba had indigestion too...

Jiang Qiao was speechless.

Still, the gains from this simulation were not small.

First, "Sliding Master" was very powerful. It could actually make a Vicious Ghost lose its balance, which might prove extremely useful at critical moments.

Second, Jiang Qiao discovered that in this simulation, he had reinforced the seal on the Faceless Ghost, avoiding the awkward situation where it crawled out and strangled him.

This meant that thinking after each simulation would affect the next one?

But he could not choose to jump directly off a building. It seemed this influence had to remain within certain rules.

After some thought, Jiang Qiao felt he had grasped a few tricks for using the Simulator.

Of course, the biggest gain was learning that a Ghost Lao Ba would crawl out of the toilet. That was vital intelligence!

Otherwise, if he happened to run into it while using the toilet...

That image...

In any case, this round had not been a loss!

Continue simulating!

[The Eerie Simulator has been activated]

[Currently available talents for fusion: "Gourmet," "Scavenger," "Flying Legs," "Fitter"...]

[Gourmet (B-rank): High-end Ingredients often require only the simplest cooking methods.

You enjoy chasing after Ingredients and gnawing on them, because that makes them freshest!]

[Scavenger (B-rank): Budget under fifty. Buying computers that can run AAA games. As long as you're willing to cover shipping and guarantee next-day delivery, I'll take as many as you've got!]

[Flying Legs (C-rank): Your legs grow some green hair that flutters constantly in the breeze.

They are so resilient that you cannot help singing, "Who is using leg hair to play a tune of East Wind Break..."]

[Fitter (C-rank): Your neck is a little crooked. Let me help you with that.]

"What the hell is with these talents? They're either B or C."

Jiang Qiao looked at the talents that had appeared and felt somewhat helpless.

Where were those legendary high-end talents?

He had drawn three times and had not even seen an A-rank talent. How was he supposed to play this?

Jiang Qiao casually picked the familiar-looking "Scavenger" and got straight to work.

[Talent selection complete--]

[Current talents: "Mason," "Sliding Master," "Scavenger"...]

[Beginning Weird Simulation!]

[Day One. A bluish haze blanketed the city. Water, electricity, and gas were all cut off.

You stood by the window and could see nothing.

But the screams that occasionally rang out told you that Vicious Ghosts had begun slaughtering people on a massive scale!

You hid at home, practiced sliding tackles, watched some porn, and played a few offline games, spending the day in boredom.]

[Day Two. The Faceless Vicious Ghost came knocking.

You took the initiative to open the door and traded a can of fermented herring for the Vicious Ghost's Gold Necklace.

The Vicious Ghost asked whether you had seen its face. You said that as long as it brought more necklaces, you would tell it where it could find a face.

It wanted to say something else, but you advised it not to be ungrateful.

The Vicious Ghost was somewhat bewildered and ultimately chose to leave.]

[Day Three. In the morning, you heard loudspeakers in the distance. The Search and Rescue Team was entering the city to look for survivors.

At noon, you dealt with a round of Orléans and sealed the toilet with cement.

In the afternoon, the haze outside began to thin. Corpses covered the streets like hell itself, yet no Vicious Ghosts could be seen.

A Search and Rescue Team came to the foot of your building. Feeling that being alone was too lonely, you went downstairs to join them.

You were very grateful to the Search and Rescue Team, so you led them to many useful supplies.

There was the Barbecue Piano Car, the Cleaver Phone Case, the Stainless Steel AK Keyboard...

The Search and Rescue Team was also very grateful to you and hoped you would not do this again next time.]

[That night, after returning to the Shelter Camp, you ate three bowls of rice.]

[Day Four. You heard that the city had been occupied by paranormal phenomena, but many other cities still had large safe zones, and order had not truly collapsed.

The rear was actively organizing manpower and resources for rescue operations.

You breathed a slight sigh of relief and began searching the Shelter Camp for useful items.]

[Day Five. You bought used Banknotes in the camp.

You bought 100-yuan notes for 85,

and 50-yuan notes for 40.

You claimed that larger quantities got better prices, with absolutely no middleman taking a cut.

After an entire day, only an Old Man surnamed Qin traded with you.]

[Day Six. Supplies at the Shelter Camp began running low. The military decided to organize a Transport Team to retrieve food from the War Reserve Warehouse.]

[Day Seven. Today was peaceful. Grandpa Qin traded with you again and gave you a five-star review!]

[Day Eight. After two days of planning, the military dispatched a Transport Team to the War Reserve Warehouse.

Large quantities of food were transported back to the Shelter Camp, and everyone was celebrating.

But you felt somewhat uneasy.

While wandering around at dusk, you picked up a sack used for holding rice and discovered that it was made of skin!

You even found several wallets inside it.

You vaguely felt that something was wrong.]

[Late at night, your vigilance made you notice that those sacks had begun to swell before turning into Vicious Ghosts.

These Vicious Ghosts resembled sheets of human skin. Whenever they saw someone, they stuck themselves onto them, wrapped them up, and packed them inside!

Soon, those who had been packed inside also turned into human skin.

The Vicious Ghosts slaughtered people everywhere. Seeing no way to escape, you bricked yourself into a wall!]

[Day Nine. You were thirsty and hungry. The tiny air hole you had left made you feel somewhat suffocated.]

[Day Ten. Your thirst became unbearable.

You figured the Vicious Ghosts might have already left, so you climbed out of the wall.

The moment you landed, you found yourself staring directly into the eyes of a Skin Ghost!

You performed a sliding tackle, wanting to strike first with your feet, but slid straight into the Skin Ghost's sack!]

[You died!]
