Fourth Simulation!

Looking at the dazzling array of food in the kitchen, Zheng Qian's eyes lit up.

However, he didn't plan to take too much.

Admittedly, with a thousand cubic meters of storage space, he could easily pack up the entire kitchen and take it away.

But if he dared to do that, the owner who lost so much would likely report it to the authorities directly, and who knows if the constables would follow the trail and find him.

So, he had to know when to stop.

In the end, Zheng Qian only took a roast chicken, a roast goose, two pieces of braised beef, ten steamed buns, ten plain buns, a bowl of pickled vegetables, two plates of pastries, and some vegetables that could be eaten raw.

These things seemed like a lot, but compared to the mountain of food in the kitchen, they only accounted for a small portion, and were only enough for him to eat for three or four days.

There was no way around it; his talents, 'Eating is a Blessing' and 'Strength Multiplier,' would greatly increase his appetite.

In addition, as a Houtian martial artist, and one who also practiced body refinement, his appetite would also increase greatly.

With these two factors combined, these things would only keep him from being hungry for three or four days, far from being full.

Soon, after putting everything into his storage space, Zheng Qian quietly returned to the dark cave inside the well.

Unconsciously, more than half a month had passed.

In these twenty-odd days, he had spent almost all of his time in the cave inside the well, except for going out every few days in the middle of the night to throw away the garbage and get some food. He even ate, drank, and relieved himself there, as if he were in an even smaller prison.

Of course, he hadn't gained nothing in these days.

First of all, there was the matter of his escape.

Although he had been hiding in the well for the past twenty-odd days, it was the only garden in the mansion, so it was still very lively on weekdays. Gardeners, passing servants, the owner of the house, Master Li, and his family would often appear here.

And from these people's chats, he learned a lot of information.

First of all, the wanted order for him had been posted all over the streets and alleys of Tongyang County, and even in the surrounding towns and villages.

Secondly, regarding his identity in this world, he was actually the son of a wealthy merchant, but not the legitimate son, just a son born to a concubine.

This wealthy merchant was named Zheng Zhoushan, and he was from Tongyang County.

It was unknown who he had offended or what he had really done, but he had been charged with treason.

This was a crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the family.

His predecessor, as an illegitimate son, didn't know anything, but he was implicated and sentenced to be executed after the autumn harvest.

And now that the time for execution after the autumn harvest had passed, it was likely that all those related to his predecessor had been executed.

Finally, his [Simulation Points] had reached a total of nine points two days ago after more than twenty days of slow growth, and he only needed one more point to start the simulation again.

As for his strength, because he had no cultivation method to practice, his Internal Force had hardly increased. He didn't dare to cultivate randomly, lest something go wrong.

Of course, although he couldn't improve his realm without a cultivation method, he had also figured out many moves to mobilize Internal Force in martial arts, which made his actual combat strength even better.

And today, he could get the last [Simulation Point] and have enough for a Low Martial World simulation.

Time flew by like water. Unconsciously, as the time came to 12:00 AM, the total number of [Simulation Points] on Zheng Qian's panel increased by one again.

"Phew! I finally have enough. I wonder which world I'll enter this time?"

Looking at the 10 [Simulation Points] that he had finally saved up on the panel, Zheng Qian's eyes lit up.

Then, he didn't hesitate to silently say in his heart, "Start the simulation!"

[Ding! Consuming 10 Simulation Points, simulation activated! Randomly selecting Low Martial World...]

[Ding! World selection complete, host will enter The Smiling, Proud Wanderer world!]

"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer?!"

Hearing the prompt in his mind, Zheng Qian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes immediately lit up.

This was a very popular world in his previous life, and he knew it very well.

Dongfang Bubai's Sunflower Manual, Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Great Method, Feng Qingyang and Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords...

And Purple Dawn Divine Skill, Bixie Swordplay, Yi Jin Jing...

All kinds of well-known divine skills, the turbulent Jianghu situation, grievances and hatred...

Every scene was deeply imprinted in Zheng Qian's memory.

Just as he was sorting out the plot, the Simulator's prompt sounded in his mind again:

[Ding! World loading complete. Because the host is conducting a Low Martial World simulation for the first time, you will receive a free chance to draw a green talent. Starting to draw talent! Drawing talent...]

[Ding! Talent drawing complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the green talent [Acquired-Level Cultivation Method/Martial Art Simplification Opportunity x1].

With this talent, the host can simplify any Acquired-level or lower-level cultivation method or martial art, thereby accelerating the speed of cultivation.

(Note: This talent is a one-time talent. Whether in the simulation or in reality, it will disappear after being used once. Please use it carefully)]

[Select this talent or give up the selection?]

"[Acquired-Level Cultivation Method/Martial Art Simplification Opportunity x1]? There's such a talent? This..." Looking at the talent he had drawn, Zheng Qian's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself in disbelief.

He didn't expect that the Simulator could actually give him such a unique and powerful talent.

As for the fact that this talent could only be used once, that was not a problem. As long as he could become stronger, it was fine.

Of course, since there was only one chance, he had to carefully select a powerful cultivation method or martial art.

In the entire world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, there were only a few cultivation methods and martial arts that caught his eye: Dugu Nine Swords, Purple Mist Divine Skill, Yi Jin Jing, Star Absorbing Great Method, Cold Ice True Qi, Tai Chi Swordplay, and others.

As for the Sunflower Manual and Bixie Swordplay, which could be quickly mastered, he wouldn't choose them even in the simulation.

Because after the simulation, he would definitely choose cultivation, and who knows if the Internal Force cultivated with those two would make him explode.

"Yes, choose this talent." Without any hesitation, Zheng Qian confirmed directly.

[Ding! Talent loading successful, simulation begins...]

With a mechanical prompt, a pale blue screen immediately appeared in front of Zheng Qian.

Subsequently, lines of black text began to appear on the screen.

[Year 1: You were born into a farmer's family in the Mount Hua region of Shaanxi in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer world.

Your father was very happy about your arrival. Lacking education, he specially spent ten copper coins to have a passing scholar give you a name: Tao Jun.]
