Gathering Information

[At age 20, you drink the inferior Purple Light Dew to assist your cultivation before the guards arrive, thus avoiding a brutal beating and, due to special circumstances, breaking through to the sixth rank of the Apprentice level.]

[Although your absorption efficiency did not meet the expectations of the supervisor Hua Chuan, and he harbored some suspicions regarding your sudden breakthrough, he dismissed the idea of investigating further due to his fear of the owner of Thousand Leaf Planet and his indifferent attitude.]

[You are cultivating.]

[The speed of your cultivation is extremely slow.]

[At age 21, building on your previous foundation, you use up the remaining inferior Purple Light Dew but only manage to break through one rank.]

[Hua Chuan is very disappointed.]

[You are given a lesson.]

[You are gifted a bottle of inferior Purple Light Dew, and Hua Chuan sets a goal for you: you must break through to the Planetary level within one year.]

[At age 22, with the help of the inferior Purple Light Dew, your cultivation speed is greatly accelerated, but you are still a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the eighth rank of the Apprentice level.]

[Hua Chuan conducts a detailed examination of you.]

[Looking at the flawless results of the examination, Hua Chuan cannot help but feel suspicious of the surveillance footage.]

[At age 23, you are re-labeled as a common slave.]

[You are sent back to the Thousand Tree District. Although your potential was greatly overestimated, Hua Chuan and the others still believe you can break through to the Planetary level, which would allow them to recoup quite a few losses.]

[At age 24, you break through to the eighth rank of the Apprentice level.]

[At this point, you learn why you had not been implanted with a Slave Chip; on Thousand Leaf Planet, only those who reach the ninth rank of the Apprentice level are implanted with a Slave Chip.]

[At age 25, you are cultivating.]

[At age 26, you are cultivating.]

[At age 30, the bottleneck of the ninth rank of the Apprentice level has held you back for five years. You vaguely discover that several eighth-rank Apprentices in the Thousand Tree District seem to be suppressing their cultivation, and they even gather from time to time to discuss matters. You go to talk to them.]

[You are rejected.]

[Because your exploits are very famous in the Thousand Tree District, and you have been to the Central High Tower, they have always been on guard against you.]

[At age 31, your guess was correct. On this day, 16 eighth-rank Apprentices break through simultaneously, and they are all taken to the Central High Tower to be implanted with Slave Chips.]

[You seem to sense that something is wrong, but your strength is too poor, and you seem unable to change anything.]

[That same day, in the area where those people originally lived, countless emerald-green vines shoot into the sky, wrapping around the Central High Tower at an incredible speed.]

[The riot has begun.]

[You yearn for freedom above all else and resolutely choose to join the side of the rioters, because you know very well that even if you helped the administrators suppress them, you would still be a slave.]

[You are executed by a Planetary level guard.]

[In the end, you discover that Thousand Leaf Planet has been enslaved for too long; many residents have developed a slave mentality and actually chose to hide and stay out of it during the riot.]

[You died.]

[This simulation has ended.]

"No wonder."

Han Han had also been wondering why he hadn't been implanted with a Slave Chip; it turns out one has to wait until reaching the ninth rank of the Apprentice level. "This is fine, at least I don't have to worry about my life before then."

Then there was the issue of the riot.

The simulation was much like he had guessed, but this time, because he had broken through to the eighth rank of the Apprentice level, he avoided the fate of being taken away for breeding.

"Analyzing from the simulation, to participate in the riot, one must be able to break through to the ninth rank of the Apprentice level at any time. I must reach the eighth rank of the Apprentice level by at least age 28 to have a chance," Han Han thought to himself.

"I am currently at the sixth rank of the Apprentice level."

"I can't stay here. I need to break through to the seventh rank of the Apprentice level at most within these two years, and then get taken back to the Thousand Tree District."

This step is not difficult.

As long as he doesn't choose a cultivation level in the simulation and just follows the routine, he will be taken back just like in the simulation, even if he gets beaten by the guards along the way.

But if he wants to participate in the riot, returning to the Thousand Tree District is the most crucial link.

In truth, the people of Thousand Leaf Planet have been enslaved for too long.

With a plant-based lifeform as an aid, if the people of Thousand Leaf Planet rose up in resistance, the riot would surely succeed. However, Han Han did not live to the end in these two simulations, so it is hard to judge whether it succeeded or not.

"I won't choose cultivation this time."

Han Han looks at the final evaluation and options of the simulation.

[Evaluation: A-82]

[You were unremarkable in the simulation. Even with sufficient resources, you were unable to improve yourself quickly. However, had it not been for your bad luck in being suppressed, you still had a glimmer of hope to escape.]

[You may choose one of the following options.]

[One: Eighth rank of the Apprentice level cultivation]

[Two: Inferior Purple Light Dew x2]

[3: 11 years of combat experience]

"Choose 3."

Although Han Han had leaped from an ordinary person to a Tier 6 Apprentice in just a few days, his combat experience was practically zero, and his actual combat power was likely only slightly stronger than a Tier 5 Apprentice.

Only by combining realm with experience could one perfectly unleash their strength.

As for the Inferior Purple Light Dew... there would be plenty of opportunities later; at the very least, it should appear in every simulation at this stage.

[Reward has been issued]

Experience was something intangible, so there was no need to worry about Hua Chuan noticing anything unusual.

However, Han Han had clearly overestimated this 11 years of combat experience; while it was called 11 years, the experience from that final battle before death actually accounted for 90% of it.

"Accumulating bit by bit is fine too." Han Han didn't feel discouraged.

With a simulation every three days, he could still perform over 1,200 more simulations before the riot began, and setting aside 200 of those to choose combat experience would still yield him a bountiful harvest.

Next.

Han Han began to follow the methods from his simulations, relying solely on his own cultivation to improve his realm.

Needless to say, the results were effective; one year passed, and he successfully broke through to a Tier 7 Apprentice on his own, after which he got beaten up to obtain his second bottle of Inferior Purple Light Dew.

In fact.

He had conducted 118 simulations that year, and due to fluctuations in his ratings, he had obtained a full 100 bottles of Inferior Purple Light Dew.

The system had stated that this stuff would damage his vitality, so he definitely couldn't overconsume it, but even if he wanted to drink it, he wouldn't dare take it out while in the Central High Tower.

Secondly.

He had chosen combat experience over 20 times, though he mostly accumulated only a little bit by participating in the riots.

Actually, among these 118 simulations, there was one where the combat experience was extremely rich, and the options for that run were the most generous in history.

That was the 99th time.

Through a stroke of luck in that simulation, he had managed to break through the shackles of a Tier 9 Apprentice ahead of schedule, only to be implanted with a Slave Chip and thrown into the slave market.

Before being put up for sale, he was subjected to a series of operations, including grueling training and brainwashing.

In the end, he was purchased by a Tier 9 Planetary level powerhouse, and after 69 years of forced labor, he had actually broken through to a Tier 1 Planetary level.

Of course.

He was killed later while protecting that Tier 9 Planetary level master during an escape.

This simulation received a B-34 rating, allowing him to choose between the Tier 1 Planetary level realm, an Auxiliary Optical Computer, an A-1 Basic Metal Battle Suit, and combat experience.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Han chose the metal battle suit.

Choosing the realm now would cause major problems, the Auxiliary Optical Computer had little to do with the upcoming riot, and he wasn't lacking in combat experience for the time being.

Only the metal battle suit!

Who would have thought that a mere slave would be wearing a metal battle suit while participating in a riot? It might just produce unexpected results at certain moments.
