In the previous simulations, that Great Fog...
I suddenly found myself trapped within it, then encountered terrifying creatures, and ultimately met a bitter end.
It looked similar to what had just happened in this simulation.
What exactly was the connection between the two...?
Was I just unlucky enough to run into this kind of misfortune, or was this misfortune... specifically coming for me?
Su Ze stroked his chin and continued pondering...
Based on the information he had so far, it was still more likely that he had simply been unlucky.
After all, he was not the only one to encounter such a horrifying event.
And it seemed that some people had not only encountered it, but had successfully escaped...
If I simulate a few more times, the relevant information might become clearer.
Putting those thoughts aside, Su Ze took a deep breath.
Come to think of it, Chen Keqing had also successfully evolved into an Awakened in the previous simulation...
That result was not particularly surprising.
After all, he possessed a great deal of information.
At the very least, when it came to the incantation, he definitely would not let Chen Keqing suffer a disadvantage.
That being the case, all Chen Keqing had to do was pass the trial in her nightmare.
This trial usually had no direct connection to combat ability.
However, it generally had a fixed theme.
For instance, in the Contamination Zone of "Mutated Animals," if someone came into contact with that zone's Pollution Source, then the Nightmare Trial that appeared would inevitably be related to animals.
As for whether everyone's Nightmare Trial was the same, Su Ze had yet to figure that out...
If the trials are fixed, can I understand Nightmare Trials as game dungeons? If I knew the strategies for clearing every dungeon in advance, wouldn't I be able to pass the trials easily...
Even so, Su Ze remained pessimistic about his own plan to become an Awakened.
After all, he had failed too many times before...
And he had failed many times despite possessing sufficient information.
It was enough to make one wonder whether heaven itself was deliberately targeting him...
Before long.
The Simulator's ten-minute cooldown was nearing its end.
Su Ze also wrote down several pieces of information that needed investigating on paper...
Was the path to becoming an Awakened truly fixed?
What exactly were those terrifyingly powerful creatures that appeared after the apocalypse?
Questions like these needed to be answered in the upcoming simulations...
Simulator cooldown has ended... Doomsday Simulation has begun
As soon as the time was up, Su Ze started another simulation.
Please choose one of the following three talents as your innate talent for this simulation! Demon Contract (Gold): You can live for no more than 60 days, but fate will guide you to obtain a treasure during your limited journey through the apocalypse. I am MT (Green): You are tough and exceptionally good at taking hits. You can also use the Taunt skill. It may not always work, but once it does, the enemy will only attack you. Sword Control Technique (Blue): You can wield flying swords and control up to six at once. Their maximum power is equivalent to small-caliber artillery shells, but using this talent requires a considerable amount of energy.
As expected, Su Ze's gaze was drawn to the Gold Talent.
However, this Gold Talent before him was truly rather strange...
A talent that only lets me survive for 60 days, and that's the maximum...
With a Gold Talent appearing, there was no reason not to choose it.
It was just that the ability of this talent made Su Ze feel extremely uneasy.
What kind of treasure could be worth paying such a heavy price for...?
If this were the real apocalypse.
Su Ze certainly would not choose this option.
But this was simulation time...
Then there was nothing more to say.
Let's do this!
Innate talent "Demon Contract (Gold)" selected. Simulation begins... Day 1: The apocalypse arrived as scheduled. You chose Aobo Community as your starting point for the apocalypse... Day 2: The temperature plummeted. Chen Keqing and you cooked a steaming pot of hot pot at home. After dinner, you sat together, and you told her much information about the apocalypse. She became very frightened after hearing it... To soothe her frightened heart, you had sex with her. Day 3: All sorts of horrifying news filled the air, seemingly confirming the horrors you had described yesterday. Yet Chen Keqing became much calmer instead, and you praised her change in mindset. Day 4: The electricity and water were cut off. The situation grew even worse... Day 5: Many refugees arrived in the community. Day 6: You taught Chen Keqing how to use a gun because you felt your current residence was not safe, especially after Awakened began to appear...
Day 7: Chen Keqing learned very well. Day 8: Awakened appeared in the community. With Father God's Listening, you began gathering information everywhere. You had a plan: help Chen Keqing become an Awakened as soon as possible. Day 9: You told Chen Keqing about your plan and clearly explained the dangers involved. She was somewhat afraid. Day 10: The atmosphere within the community became more unrestrained. You continued secretly gathering information. Day 11: You completed your information gathering and believed you were fully prepared. At the same time, Chen Keqing mentally prepared herself and decided to take the risk, but she had one condition... Day 12: You spent the entire day in bed. This was Chen Keqing's condition. Day 13: After exhausting yourselves, you revealed your healing ability to Chen Keqing. She was utterly shocked, and her confidence greatly increased. She was no longer afraid of the upcoming risk at all. Day 14: The number of Awakened in the Safe Zone increased. You drove Chen Keqing to a Contamination Zone, and both of you came into contact with the Pollution Source. Day 15: You watched over Chen Keqing all night, but nothing happened. Day 16: Chen Keqing had a nightmare. After waking up, she successfully advanced into an Awakened. She had forgotten most of the dream, only vaguely remembering that all the information you had given her had been useful.
Success once again...
Using his informational advantage, he had helped Chen Keqing advance into an Awakened without any real danger.
Since this method could work on Chen Keqing, it should also work on others.
It merely depended on whether Su Ze had such intentions.
Aside from that...
The simulation content before him gave Su Ze another thought.
Safe House... it doesn't provide any sense of safety at all.
Though the simulation's description was brief, Su Ze could sense the problem.
The simulated version of himself clearly did not feel very secure.
Staying in the Safe Zone meant having to remain wary of others at all times.
Especially after Awakened began appearing.
And in this round of simulation, he had not chosen a Combat Talent.
If he directly clashed with an Awakened, he would likely gain no advantage.
That was precisely why his simulated self had helped Chen Keqing become an Awakened so quickly...
He needed a safer environment.
Day 17: An Awakened coveted Chen Keqing's beauty. The two of you teamed up and killed him. During the process, you displayed your heaven-defying healing ability, causing some Awakened to attempt to recruit you. Day 18: The situation in your Safe Zone stabilized. Chen Keqing and you became deeply involved with the Safe Zone's leadership team... Day 19: You attempted to become an Awakened but failed. Healing Energy decreased by one... Day 20: You noticed that some Awakened were still restless because of Chen Keqing's beauty. You set a trap and killed them, but there were some minor mistakes, and the news leaked out... Day 21: After discussing it with Chen Keqing, you left the Safe Zone... Day 22: You returned to Half-Mountain Community near the school. This was the Contamination Zone of the Mirror World, and you and Chen Keqing settled down here. Day 23: You calculated the time when the Mirror World would next activate and made a detailed schedule... Day 24: Chen Keqing and you began your shameless daily routine...
Day 35: The activation time of the Mirror World changed slightly, but fortunately, due to the Demon Contract, you sensed a powerful threat in advance. You took Chen Keqing outside to avoid the danger and escaped a deadly crisis. Day 36: You returned home and resumed your shameless routine. Day 37: Shameless routine...
Day 45: You felt a powerful sense of destiny. You drove away from your residence, passed through several Contamination Zones, and found your treasure beneath the bridge pier of the cross-river bridge... You brought the treasure back and studied it all day. Day 46: The treasure was mysterious, and you had no clues, but Father God's Listening suddenly activated... You learned the answer—the item you had obtained was a fragment of draft paper from when the Gods attempted to create the world. This fragment had no name, so you gave it one. From now on, it was called Avalon. Day 47: You studied how to use Avalon. It could be simply understood as a dimensional space, and you could shape its internal structure through imagination... But you could only shape it once. Day 48: You successfully shaped Avalon's internal space. Chen Keqing was overjoyed and showed off her cooking, making many delicious dishes... But the price of the Demon Contract activated at this moment. Blood streamed from your seven orifices, and you could not use your healing ability. As you lay dying, you heard Chen Keqing crying, followed by a gunshot. She died for love with you.
