Hit Gold, Keep Testing My Weakness!

Closing early, Su Ze lowered the shop's shutters.

After turning off the unnecessary lights in the store and pouring himself another cup of hot tea, he returned behind the counter and sat back down.

By now, he had more or less figured out the rules for using the Simulator...

Whether he could protect himself after Apocalypse's Arrival—or even do whatever he pleased—would depend entirely on the simulation rewards.

However...

The intelligence he had obtained from that first simulation had been far too limited.

Su Ze could only vaguely tell that this apocalypse was not some run-of-the-mill zombie apocalypse.

Beyond that, he knew nothing.

After all, his simulated self had only survived for a few short days in the apocalypse.

So for the moment, he could not determine what kind of simulation reward he should choose.

Of course, the reward from the first simulation could definitely be ignored...

It was complete garbage.

"If I don't choose a simulation reward, the cooldown is ten minutes..."

"If I choose a reward, the cooldown is twenty hours."

Rubbing his chin, Su Ze did some simple calculations.

At best, he could obtain a total of eight simulation rewards before Apocalypse's Arrival.

But that was too idealistic.

In reality, he should be satisfied if he could get seven decent simulation rewards.

After all, the normal simulation cooldown could not be ignored either...

"No matter what, I need to figure out the true threat of this apocalypse first. Only then can I prepare in advance."

He patiently waited for the Simulator's cooldown.

Very soon.

The very second the cooldown ended, Su Ze started another simulation.

Doomsday Simulation activated, loading...

You may choose one of the following three talents as your innate talent for this simulation!

Animal Ambassador (Green): You can understand some canine sounds and command a small number of dogs to carry out your orders. You need not worry about their loyalty; they are more reliable than your human companions.

Near Max-Level Toxin Resistance (Blue): Your body has been strengthened. You are completely immune to all viruses and bacteria known to humanity, highly likely to be immune to unknown viruses and bacteria, and have a small chance of becoming stronger because of viruses and bacteria.

Built-in Water Canteen (White): Your survival ability has improved. Like a cactus, you hardly need to drink water. But remember, you only hardly need to drink water.

The best talent option was still only blue...

But judging from the description, it seemed fairly good. Extremely high toxin resistance was probably an indispensable special ability in the apocalypse...

Innate talent selected: Near Max-Level Toxin Resistance (Blue)

Simulation begins...

On the first day, the sun no longer rose. The Blood Moon hung high in the sky. Although the authorities released news immediately, the city still fell into panic. You hid in a high-rise detached home and waited to see what would happen...

On the second day, the temperature plummeted and panic escalated. You heard that people had died in fights over supplies. There were even more terrifying rumors, but you did not know whether they were true.

On the third day, the young married woman living downstairs brought you supplies and tried to seek emotional comfort from you... You sternly refused, but after thinking it over, you decided to test your weakness and try out your toxin resistance talent.

You slept with her.

On the fourth day, the power went out, and soon the water was cut off as well. You inexplicably developed a fever, suffered terribly, and before losing consciousness, discovered that your eyes had turned blood-red.

On the fifth day, your consciousness was hazy...

On the sixth day, your consciousness was hazy... You died.

This toxin resistance talent... wasn't much good either!

It was not all that different from the first simulation...

He just did not know whether his toxin resistance was inadequate, or whether that bitch was too toxic.

Or perhaps...

It was not a virus at all.

"No, there's still too little intelligence..."

As he pondered, the simulation rewards appeared.

Simulation evaluation: A brief struggle for survival in the apocalypse, but your courage is commendable.

Please choose one reward from the following options:

1. Near Max-Level Toxin Resistance (Blue)

2. Built-in Water Canteen (White)

3. Custom Baseball Bat

Su Ze directly ignored this round's rewards.

He tried to summarize his experience while patiently waiting through the Simulator's ten-minute cooldown.

Before long, Su Ze started a new round of simulation...

Doomsday Simulation activated...

You may choose one of the following three talents as your innate talent for this simulation!

Succubus Bloodline (Green): Your charm increases greatly, but after the world undergoes drastic changes, you must use this ability wisely, because being too handsome will make others jealous.

Wilderness Expert (White): You can calmly eat disgusting food and use your intuition to determine whether some food is poisonous.

Sports Student (White): Your overall athletic ability improves to a certain extent.

Tch...

Weren't these still three piles of shit?

Pinching his nose, Su Ze once again picked the best of the worst.

Innate talent selected: Succubus Talent (Green)

Simulation begins...

On the first day, the sun vanished. You hid in a high-rise detached home and waited to see what would happen.

On the second day, the temperature dropped drastically, and the world seemed to have entered an ice age. You searched everywhere online for intelligence. Many horrifying reports came in. You heard that a residential complex was haunted, and everyone in an entire building had died in their sleep last night, but you did not know whether it was true.

On the third day, panic spread. It was already difficult to see anyone on the streets. It was not just your city that had come to a standstill; the entire world was the same. The young married woman downstairs came looking for you, but you harshly drove her away.

On the fourth day, the power and water were cut off. Flames soared into the sky from more than one place in the city, and the situation seemed to have completely spiraled out of control. Many people died for no apparent reason. The young married woman downstairs came to find you again... You noticed that her eyes were blood-red, and she seemed to have lost her mind.

You decisively shot her dead and threw her corpse from the high-rise.

A gun?

Tch, it seemed his simulated self had found a way to acquire weapons.

Besides, his simulated self had clearly still chosen to confront that seductive young married woman head-on, rather than changing his choice of Safe House because of her presence...

That choice was understandable.

After all, he currently knew too little about the apocalypse.

Rather than switching to a new Safe House, it was better to treat the known danger accordingly...

On the fifth day, you were not at all worried about the consequences of killing someone and dumping the body, because similar things were happening everywhere at this moment. You continued hiding in your residence and waited to see what would happen.

On the sixth day, you heard that the military's operations had suffered setbacks. A large number of Red-Eyed Patients appeared in your residential complex. These people were like walking corpses, with nothing but desire and violence left in their minds...

On the seventh day, your residence suddenly became the target of everyone. You were forced to kill more than thirty Red-Eyed Patients. You were exhausted.

On the eighth day, you had a nightmare. A strange keyword appeared in the dream—Contamination Zone.

When you woke up, you noticed that your eyes in the mirror had turned blood-red. You decisively went outside to seek a way to survive... You collapsed at the entrance of the residential complex, your consciousness hazy... You were attacked. You died.

Simulation evaluation: A brief struggle for survival in the apocalypse, but you acted decisively.

Please choose one reward from the following options:

1. Succubus Bloodline (Green)

2. Wilderness Expert (White)

3. Sports Student (White)

Although he had survived two days longer than in the previous two simulations, the reward options were still awful...

Su Ze directly ignored them.

While waiting for the cooldown, he tried to sort through the useful information that had appeared in the simulation.

"Red-Eyed Patients... Could they be another form of Zombies?"

"Even the military's operations aren't going smoothly. It probably isn't that simple."

"Contamination Zone? What is that... Could there be a distinction between Safe Zones and Contamination Zones?"

There was too little intelligence, and he still could not arrive at many accurate answers.

There was only one thing Su Ze could be certain of...

Stay away from young married women. Cherish your life.

Doomsday Simulation activated...

You may choose one of the following three talents as your innate talent for this simulation!

Fallen Gift (Gold): ...

Oh—

He hit gold!

Su Ze straightened up and stared intently...
