The System's Hidden Uses: The More Simulation Counts Spent, the Better the Rewards
[Day 34 of entering the Secret Realm]
With Shen Yian involved, the subsequent transactions seemed to gradually change their nature.
You consider yourself a shrewd businessman.
I never expected Shen Yian to be even more shameless!
He can make white appear black, and black appear colorful.
When they encounter female cultivators, they address them as "Fairy Sister" at every turn.
They used various methods to promote new styles of stockings and skirts, along with beauty and health-enhancing pills.
When they encounter a male cultivator, regardless of whether he is old or young, handsome or ugly, they all enthusiastically call him "handsome guy."
The main focus is on promoting various elixirs for strengthening the body and maintaining erectile function.
What will leave you speechless is that once a cultivator came who looked exactly like a wild monkey that had just run out of the mountains.
You're racking your brains trying to figure out how to strike up a conversation without hurting the other person's feelings.
Shen Yian, without changing his expression, said, "This handsome and distinguished young man."
It's one thing to say it, but how does he manage to remain completely unfazed?
Then came a smooth and skillful sales pitch, which completely swayed the other party, leading them to spend Spirit Stone to buy a treasure realm they had no use for.
A monkey bought a mirror to look at his monkey face, and it looked hilarious no matter how you looked at it.
But the benefits are also obvious.
In just a few days, not only did the number of treasures they acquired increase dramatically, but they also gained a considerable amount of Spirit Stone, the hard currency.
[Day 67 of entering the Secret Realm]
Seeing that the various treasures imbued with Dragon Qi had piled up like mountains, you felt that was enough, so you suggested to Shen Yian that you split the spoils in half.
He readily agreed.
However, just as they were dividing the spoils, an unexpected event occurred.
A seemingly honest and simple young cultivator, through some incredible stroke of luck, actually won the favor of a Dragon Clan Maiden.
Although the Dragon Girl was not in love with him, she agreed to accompany him back to his clan for a year to learn about the outside world.
Your eyes lit up instantly!
No matter how pure the Dragon Qi contained in those treasures is, it can't compare to having a living, breathing True Dragon by your side!
So you decisively stepped forward and used all the treasures you had obtained to trade with the young man in exchange for the Dragon Girl to stay at the Xuantian Pavilion for half a year.
The young man hesitated, his eyes filled with struggle as he faced the mountain of treasures.
Just as you were secretly pleased and planning to strike while the iron was hot and add more chips—out of the corner of your eye you caught Shen Yian standing obediently to the side, showing no intention of competing with you at all.
Although you were secretly relieved that he hadn't interfered, you were still somewhat puzzled. Taking advantage of the boy's hesitation, you whispered to Shen Yian:
"Brother Shen, did you come here without the Dragon Qi to complete your mission?"
Shen Yian glanced at you sideways and said in a tone that implied you were very ignorant:
"Dragon Qi?"
"What's so special about that thing?"
"Do you have something better?"
This sentence instantly piqued your curiosity.
"Of course, "Shen Yian nodded directly.
"I Wen Dao Palace. Not only is it surrounded by the Nine Heavens Pure Qi, but it also continuously emits nourishing energy, which is much better than that Dragon Qi."
These words were met with utter disdain by the Dragon Girl.
But you firmly believe it.
My younger sister, Chen Yao, told Wen Dao Palace does indeed have a stone statue, and it is quite extraordinary!
This is probably related to the immense power of the Wen Dao Palace!
Shen Yian continued, "If you want it, considering our past cooperation, I can have someone send one over to exchange for it."
"But let me make this clear first, the price for that thing is extremely high, and you should be the one most prepared."
Upon hearing this, your heart pounded!
Without the slightest hesitation, you immediately terminated the deal with the boy and instead used all the treasures you obtained in the Secret Realm to exchange for the statue.
Shen Yian hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing with a look of utter disappointment.
The deal was done, and he muttered something before he left:
"I'm at a huge loss! I wouldn't have sold it to you if you weren't one of us..."
You watched his departing figure, suppressing your excitement.
Once he could no longer see anything, he finally couldn't help but throw a punch and let out a low growl, "Yay!"
"We made a fortune! A huge profit!"
"Hiss--"
Upon seeing this, Qin Wangchuan couldn't help but gasp.
I just feel like even this direct descendant of the Xuantian Pavilion doesn't seem quite right.
He was completely fooled by just a few words.
"And you, Shen Yian."
"You are the true king of unscrupulous merchants, a model of getting something for nothing."
The simulation isn't over yet.
The attendant beside him, witnessing this scene, was on the verge of tears.
"Young Master, those things are all treasures containing Dragon Qi! They even gave up the Dragon Girl... and exchanged her for a stone statue whose whereabouts are still unknown?"
"Who told you that's all of them?"
You smiled nonchalantly, your face showing no sign of loss, but rather a sly glint of triumph.
Amidst the questioning gazes of your attendants, you reach into your crotch.
Qin Wangchuan:???
After fumbling around for a moment, you pulled out a bead the size of a pigeon egg from your crotch, radiating a bright yellow light!
A deep, majestic dragon's roar could be faintly heard emanating from within the bead.
"Those things are indeed treasures," you said smugly, toying with the yellow pearl, "But in terms of the pure Dragon Qi they contain... all of them combined don't even amount to half of this Dragon Origin Pearl!"
"..."
If Qin Wangchuan only had some doubts before, now he was certain—
Shen Yian definitely had something hidden in his crotch!
"These two... are hard to judge."
[Simulated object leaves the Secret Realm]
[Simulation Ended]
[Please select two of the following rewards to inherit:]
1: 89 years of lifespan.
2: One Dragon Origin Pearl.
3: Origin Source +770.
4: Enhanced Appraisal Technique.
(Note!! Due to the high Simulation Count required for this simulation, the coefficient is 150% of that of a normal simulation.)
(Reward options increased to 150%, currently: 4)
(Reward inheritance increased to 150%: One more reward inheritance option can be selected every two simulations)
Qin Wangchuan looked at the text on the system panel in front of him.
The look in his eyes, which had been amused by Chen Mo and Shen Yian, suddenly sharpened, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.
"In a single simulation, the more Simulation Count consumed, the greater the reward?"
"So there was this other mechanism involved."
He thought quickly.
Normally, Directional Simulation consumes 2 attempts, but this time, because the Secret Realm was not yet open and the information was unknown, it consumed 3 attempts.
However, this also resulted in an additional 50% reward, bringing the reward multiplier to 150%.
"If each simulation in the future consumes four Simulation Count... then the reward options will become six, and each time two rewards can be inherited!"
This discovery greatly encouraged Qin Wangchuan.
I used to think that Simulation Count were precious and I was reluctant to use them.
It now appears that at certain critical junctures, conducting high-consumption simulations with numerous attempts may yield returns far exceeding expectations!
"He's got something."
His lips curved slightly, and he thought to himself that this system was indeed not as simple as it seemed.
"However, this means we can only choose between the reward and the intelligence."
"Unless you're incredibly lucky, you won't get the information you want in just one simulation."
Returning our attention to the reward options:
1: 89 years of lifespan.
2: One Dragon Origin Pearl.
3: Origin Source +770.
4: Enhanced Treasure Appraisal Techniques.
Lifespan can be ignored, Directional Simulation does not consume lifespan, making this option practically useless.
The Dragon Origin Pearl might be a priceless treasure to others, but for Qin Wangchuan, who possesses countless resources, it holds limited appeal.
That leaves only two other items.
