"Hiss~"
Han Han drew a sharp breath as countless memories flashed through his mind like a slideshow, a process that lasted for a full hour.
"Where am I...?!"
Han Han stepped out of the room and found himself on an incredibly massive tree, which housed hundreds of millions of treehouses.
"So beautiful."
"What a pity... this Qianye Star is a planet that has been enslaved for generations."
After absorbing the memories, Han Han realized which world he was in and understood his current predicament.
Without a doubt.
He had retrieved key information such as slave planets, the universe, Apprentice level, Planetary level, and most importantly, the Virtual Universe, confirming that this was the world of Swallowed Star.
As for Qianye Star, where he currently resided, it was a slave planet that had been under subjugation for over 200 years.
Qianye Star had a population of over ten billion; everyone reached the Apprentice level upon adulthood, and those with a bit of talent could reach the ninth rank of the Apprentice level, though few could break through to the Planetary level.
As for the original owner of this body.
He had just come of age today, but he had died suddenly due to an accident while absorbing cosmic origin energy, and Han Han, a transmigrator, had taken over the body in the final moment before death.
"Qianye Star employs an elimination system."
"You come of age at 20, and if you haven't broken through to the fifth rank of the Apprentice level by 25, you are reduced to a breeding tool."
"Four ranks in five years... that's going to be difficult."
Han Han knew very well that the first time one absorbs cosmic origin energy, the effect is the best; some people can even reach the third or fourth rank of the Apprentice level in one go.
Yet, he hadn't even reached the second rank.
With such talent, if nothing changed, he would undoubtedly become a breeding tool in five years, and the average lifespan of a breeding tool was only 27 years...
"Beep!"
A crisp sound rang out.
It sounded mechanical, but to Han Han, it was more delightful than any beautiful music.
[Life Simulation System bound successfully]
[The host can consume simulation attempts to perform a life simulation. Based on the evaluation, you can bring back items, insights into laws, and more to reality]
"How do I obtain simulation attempts?"
Han Han suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked. If he could, he would have loved to shout: I have a cheat too!!!
[Apprentice level: one attempt every three days; Planetary level: one attempt per month; Stellar level: one attempt per year; Universe level: one attempt every ten years, and so on]
[Simulation attempts can be accumulated]
[Upon breaking through to a major realm, simulation attempts reset to one. Please choose your rewards wisely]
"Not bad, not bad." Han Han was delighted.
He had read many novels where some simulation systems allowed for the exchange of items for simulation attempts. While this was different, it was perfectly acceptable.
As for the last two pieces of information, they were easy to understand.
"In that case, if I want to choose a reward for crossing a major realm, it's best to wait until the very last moment, otherwise the accumulated simulation attempts will reset to one." Han Han analyzed.
That was fine, too.
If his simulation attempts were at zero, he would immediately gain one upon breaking through a major realm.
"I should have one simulation attempt now, right?" Han Han communicated with the system in his mind. Logically, since he had just broken through to the Apprentice level, it counted as the first realm.
[Simulation attempts: 1]
"Then... wait, let me hold off for a second."
Han Han looked around and ultimately decided to return to the treehouse, sitting cross-legged to pretend he was cultivating.
One had to know that Qianye Star was covered in surveillance cameras. At least in the area where he lived, every move he made could not escape the eyes of the overseers. This was why he had held back his reaction to transmigrating earlier.
Ready, Han Han closed his eyes.
"Start."
[Simulation attempts: 0]
[During the simulation, the host will not possess memories related to the world, but your personality and other traits will remain exactly the same as the host's]
[The host's realm is weak, so this simulation will be presented in text form]
"Reasonable."
Han Han understood that he was only at the Apprentice level, and merging with the original owner's memories was already a bit of a strain. If he had to personally enter the simulation time and time again, he would eventually go insane.
[Life Simulation begins]
[At 20 years old, the age of adulthood for a Qianye Star person, you successfully break through to the first rank of the Apprentice level, though your first attempt at absorbing cosmic origin energy was not very effective]
[At 21 years old, your neighbor also becomes an Apprentice, but he breaks through directly to the third rank of the Apprentice level and awakens a rare talent for spirit readers. However, with your worrying talent, you remain at the first rank of the Apprentice level]
[Age 22, you are sent by the overseer to harvest Three Illusion Leaf.]
[Age 23, knowing you must reach the fifth rank of the Apprentice level by age 25, you harvest Three Illusion Leaf with your life on the line. Your efforts stand in stark contrast to the other Qianye Star People, who believe you are simply born with the fate of a slave.]
[You are ostracized.]
[But you do not care. That same year, your hard work leads to a group of Qianye Star People being executed, and it also makes the overseer realize that efficiency can be this high; the harvest standard for Three Illusion Leaf is increased by 50%.]
[You are rewarded with some basic resources.]
[Age 24, you break through to the second rank of the Apprentice level.]
[Due to the increased harvest standards, even though you work incredibly hard, you are unable to reach the reward threshold again.]
[Age 25, you break through to the third rank of the Apprentice level.]
[Age 26, you fail to break through to the fifth rank of the Apprentice level by this age. According to the regulations of the Qianye Star, you belong to the group with extremely poor talent.]
[You are labeled as a breeding tool.]
[You are assigned to the breeding zone of the Qianye Star, where all the female Qianye Star People with poor talent are kept. You are given 4 mating partners.]
[Age 27, you strive to reproduce, and the probability of siring offspring is extremely high. Your mating partners are increased to 8.]
[Age 28, your fertility rate is far ahead of the rest.]
[Age 29, in just 3 years, you have impregnated 169 female Qianye Star People and sired nearly 300 children. Consequently, the breeding standard is increased by 20%.]
[You are rewarded with some basic resources, and you break through to the fourth rank of the Apprentice level.]
[Unfortunately, in a job where the average life expectancy is only 27, your body is severely depleted. Even with resources to assist your cultivation, you cannot make up for it.]
[Age 30, you sense that death is approaching, so you decide to risk your life to attempt the fifth rank of the Apprentice level. This is the realm that will determine your fate.]
[You succeed, but you also die.]
[Simulation ended.]
[Rating: A-66]
[Ratings range from A to G to SSS, with each grade using a 100-point scale.]
[In the simulation, you worked hard to harvest Three Illusion Leaf and strove to reproduce, successfully increasing the enslavement standards of the Qianye Star single-handedly. The Qianye Star People will not forget your name.]
[You may choose one of the following options.]
[One: Fifth rank of the Apprentice level.]
[Two: Basic resources X2.]
[Three: Three Illusion Leaf harvesting experience, superb mating experience.]
"Hiss~"
Han Han draws a sharp breath, "As expected of me, single-handedly increasing the enslavement level of the Qianye Star."
From the simulation, it is clear that he truly has talent.
The harvest standard for Three Illusion Leaf increased by a full half, and the fertility rate increased by one-fifth; one can only say that his talent points were misallocated and not spent on cultivation.
But the simulation also fits his personality perfectly.
If he hadn't given it his all, it would have been good enough if he had managed to reach the third rank of the Apprentice level in the end.
