A Failed Food Delivery Became the Meal! During the banquet.
Chen Yi heard the old man in Daoist robes beside Shi San whisper to him.
"Gang Leader, tomorrow it's time to bring food to the River God."
This old man was the Black Stone Gang's strategist. Shi San consulted him on every matter, great or small.
Shi San nodded.
"Have Wang Qiang handle it."
"Wang Qiang has already been fed to the fish."
"Oh... I drank too much and forgot about that, hahaha! Then have Fourth Leader pick out a few laborers at the docks tonight... Right, wasn't there a fool? He eats a lot too! He has to go!"
Chen Yi's brows furrowed slightly at those words.
Feigning drunkenness, he probed cautiously.
"Gang Leader, that fool is my fellow villager. He's clumsy and useless—if you have any errands, give them to me. He can't handle them!"
Shi San remained unmoved.
"He can definitely handle this. Just stay here and be an instructor for me. Come, drink!"
Clearly, Shi San had no intention of doing Chen Yi any favor.
Chen Yi said no more.
He still had to grow stronger himself before he could solve the problem facing him and Dachun.
He had to begin the second simulation as soon as possible!
After the noon banquet.
Chen Yi put on a drunken act and staggered back to his room, refusing anyone who came to attend him.
The moment he entered, his drunken demeanor vanished, and his gaze turned clear.
[Guidance mission completed!] [Reward issued!]
"Clang!"
A Crimson Longsword fell before him.
He also had one chance to draw a premium term.
A familiar ball of light appeared before Chen Yi.
The motes of colored light within it were each a term.
There were still many white ones, but fewer than before, because the probability of White Terms was now only 89%.
"Come on, give me a useful term!"
Chen Yi reached in.
Without any surprise.
He drew a White Term.
"It's fine. These are all premium terms. Even if it's white, it should still be useful, unlike something like 'The Beauty of Ji Ni'..."
[Dragon Plays with Phoenix (White Common): Your bedroom techniques and abilities are greatly improved. Everyone who has tried it says it's good!]
"What the hell is this?! I'm full of vigor and have watched countless films—what use do I have for this?"
Chen Yi truly wanted to roll his eyes at the Simulator's terms.
"Premium terms, my ass. They really are just a scam, like an up-rate pool in a gacha game. The drop rate isn't even as good as the standard pool—it's just there to trick players into spending! Better start the simulation already."
[You have completed this simulation's guidance mission and gained a new simulation opportunity.] [Initial equipped terms: Simulator [Rainbow], Low-Grade Bone Structure [Green], Serious Punch [Green], Effort Will Be Rewarded [Green], Dragon Plays with Phoenix [White].] [Simulation begins!] [With the cauldrons smashed and boats sunk, Qin's hundred passes would ultimately belong to Chu. Sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, three thousand Yue soldiers could swallow Wu!] [In order to escape the Black Stone Gang's control with Dachun.] [You deliberately revealed your strength as a Martial Artist, gaining the chance to join the Black Stone Gang and becoming one of its instructors.] [But you had no interest in gang life. You only wanted to find an opportunity to get away...] [Year One, age eighteen.] [Beginning term draw...] [Draw successful!] ["Night Owl" (White): You enjoy hiding by day and coming out at night. If you do not sleep during the day, your mood will suffer.] [Adjust term?] [Yes/No]
White Terms were as reliably disappointing as ever.
If he wanted valuable terms, he still needed to raise his Martial Dao realm and increase the odds of high-quality terms.
Relying solely on luck and miracle draws was far too unreliable.
[You chose No.] [You knew that you had entered a simulation.] [Then there was no need to be overly cautious.] [Tomorrow, take a risk and run!] [The next day, just before dawn.] [Fourth Leader led several gang members, bringing Dachun and two other laborers downstream along the Qing River.] [You knew Fourth Leader was easy to fool, so you said you couldn't sleep and went with him, treating it as a stroll.] [Fourth Leader did not think much of it and brought you along.] [Just like Wang Qiang had said, Fourth Leader claimed that after delivering food to the River God, the three laborers could play at Yihong Brothel for three days.] [As they walked, Dachun asked.] ["Hehe! Fourth Leader, does Yihong Brothel have anything tasty to eat?"] [Fourth Leader burst into laughter.] ["Of course! There's plenty of tasty stuff! Sausage! Abalone! Tofu! Fragrant as can be!"] [Dachun drooled as he listened.] [The group arrived at Ten Mile Pavilion. Fourth Leader shoved Dachun and the other two to the riverbank, then shouted at the water.] ["Lord River God! We've brought you food! Eat and drink well, sir!"] [You saw the gang members who had come with you unconsciously retreat several steps. Clearly, they feared this River God.] [The three laborers, ignorant of the truth, still clutched their meal boxes. They truly believed they had come to deliver food, unaware that they themselves were the meal.] [The Qing River's calm surface suddenly began to churn with whirlpools.] [Fish and shrimp leaped from the water, as though some great terror lurked below and made them afraid to return.] [Just then, standing behind Fourth Leader, you suddenly lashed out with a savage kick!] ["To hell with you!!"] [With a splash, water shot into the sky as Fourth Leader was kicked into the river.] [The gang members behind him immediately drew their sabers.] ["Instructor Chen! What are you doing?!"] [You completely ignored their demands and attacked directly.] [With your current cultivation, dealing with these gang members who were not Martial Artists was more than easy.] [You threw them into the river one by one.] [The Black Stone Gang's people knew all too well what lay in this river.] [They swam desperately toward shore.] ["Chen Yi! You dare set me up! Once I get ashore, I'll skin you alive!"] [Fourth Leader was still making threats.] [But it was as though a pair of giant hands beneath the river were dragging them. After swimming for so long, not only did they fail to reach shore, they drifted ever closer to the center of the river!] [Dachun and the two laborers watched in confusion, not knowing what was happening.] ["What are you standing around for? Run!"] [You grabbed Dachun and fled.] [When you looked back.] [You saw half of an enormous green fish head emerge from the middle of the river.] [That fish head actually spoke human words.] ["The Black Stone Gang really knows how to treat me! Seven people in one go this time? Good, good, good... What a pleasant partnership!"] [Fourth Leader shouted at the words.] ["River God! You've got it wrong! We aren't this month's 'food'—the people on the shore are!"] ["Oh~ This one's the fattest. I like it! Gang Leader Shi truly understands my heart!"] ["What??? I'm the Black Stone Gang's Fourth Leader! Look carefully, sir!!"] [This fish's eyesight was clearly not that good. It could not see Fourth Leader's face at all and simply regarded him as a delicious meal.] [The Fish Demon opened its blood-filled maw and bit down on Fourth Leader and the others. Its mouth was packed with barbed teeth—more than a dozen rows of them, like a serrated belt.] [Blood dyed the river's surface red.]
