A Wealth of Intelligence!

If he did not choose a Combat Talent...

That meant that, without firearms, his simulated self would not even be able to defeat an ordinary Awakened head-on.

Not to mention Tier 2 Awakened and Awakened who had mastered the Word Spirit Technique.

Once his strength no longer allowed him to roam freely through the apocalypse,

then, given his personality, he would most likely choose the safest possible way to survive the apocalypse.

He would hide inside the Safe House and refuse to come out even if he died.

In the simulations from the previous two days, he had not always possessed the strength to fight Awakened.

But back then, his simulated self did not have Avalon. Even if he wanted to hide, he had nowhere to do so.

He could only take risks in pursuit of power—the power to fight the apocalypse, and the power to fight Awakened...

"If I just lie low, thoroughly and completely... maybe I'll get to see the end of the apocalypse."

That was right...

Su Ze was not trying to become a turtle.

He merely wanted to use the Simulator to obtain more intelligence about the apocalypse.

Today's simulation had already reshaped his understanding of the apocalypse.

Too much information he had never encountered before had appeared in today's simulation.

Who knew what unimaginable things would emerge later in the apocalypse, or what terrifying threats would appear...

And to see the apocalypse further down the road,

he needed to accomplish the most important thing.

—Live long enough.

Besides, survival was the foremost priority in the apocalypse.

Su Ze also wanted to see whether he could live until the very end of the apocalypse...

Simulator cooldown: 4 minutes 55 seconds

The cooldown had not ended yet...

Su Ze read through the intelligence recorded on the paper until his gaze fell upon the final line—Avalon was not absolutely invincible either.

If he destroyed a Pollution Source, then even hiding inside Avalon would be useless. The strange entities would still find him...

"Am I personally special, unable to become an Awakened..."

"Or are there some people like me who simply cannot become Awakened, like the useless spiritual roots in cultivation novels?"

Su Ze pondered inwardly, but he could not find an answer.

Because the simulation had never clearly presented any relevant information.

It had never explicitly stated that someone was destined to be unable to become an Awakened.

Only he, no matter how he tried, could never succeed.

Whether he proceeded cautiously and steadily, following the proper route...

Or, like Brute, took a shortcut by destroying a Pollution Source, neither worked.

The former was slightly better. With the Fallen Gift as a safety net, he would not lose his life merely from trying.

The latter was far more outrageous.

Try it, and die.

There was absolutely no room to maneuver.

"If I had an intelligence-gathering Talent, or a prediction Talent, would my simulated self take the risk and try again..."

Of course, Su Ze had such thoughts because he had not completely given up.

If he truly managed to draw a Talent that could predict the future or divine fortune and misfortune, there would be no reason for his simulated self not to try.

Maybe he would find a way to succeed.

Even if he did not succeed, he would still gain intelligence. Either way, he would not lose out...

Simulator cooldown has ended...

Phew...

Noticing that the cooldown had ended, Su Ze took a deep breath and chose to start another simulation.

This night was destined to be exhausting...

Selected innate Talent: 'Divine Calculator (Blue)'

Day 1: The apocalypse arrived as scheduled. You chose Aobo Community as your starting point in the apocalypse...

Day 2: The temperature plummeted...

...

Day 15: An Awakened intended to harm Chen Keqing. You took her away from the Safe Zone.

Day 16: You helped Chen Keqing come into contact with a Pollution Source. Your Divine Calculator Talent took effect, and you sensed that Chen Keqing could successfully advance to become an Awakened in one go.

Day 17: Chen Keqing became an Awakened. The incantation she used was Starry Sky. To celebrate, you showed her Avalon's secret. You decided to hide inside Avalon and never come out...

...

Day 38: It was Chen Keqing's birthday. You took her to Avalon's twelfth level of space to celebrate. You did not tell her that you wanted to try becoming an Awakened...

Day 39: Chen Keqing said she wanted to hide in Avalon with you for the rest of her life, but you told her that you would soon take a risk and try to become an Awakened...

Day 40: Chen Keqing tried to persuade you not to attempt it. When that failed, she chose to support you.

...

Day 58: After gathering enough intelligence, you destroyed the Pollution Source with the help of your Divine Calculator Talent...

Day 59: Your Talent's prediction failed. You exhausted all your Healing Energy in a nightmare.

You died...

The shortcut of destroying a Pollution Source was most likely not viable.

In that case...

He would keep simulating. It was fine if he could not become an Awakened. At the very least, he should first see exactly what sights existed in the apocalypse.

Selected innate Talent: 'Flour Master (White)'

Day 1: The apocalypse arrived as scheduled...

...

Day 61: Great Fog

...

Day 83: The number of Tier 2 Awakened in the Safe Zone increased, but you did not care. Lacking combat strength, you continued hiding in Avalon with Chen Keqing, living in your little world for two.

...

Day 115: Great Fog

...

Day 120: Father God's Listening Talent took effect. You heard the latest intelligence...

After the Great Fog, the Contamination Zones underwent drastic changes once more. The Contamination Zones, whose boundaries had once been clearly defined, now faced the risk of contamination overflowing—simply put, the monsters in the Contamination Zones might riot and assault the Safe Zones.

...

Day 130: While hiding in Avalon, you heard that the Safe Zone with the largest number of government personnel stationed there had been attacked by monsters. Many people died, and the government suffered a severe blow.

Day 131: News kept arriving of Safe Zones being attacked...

In addition, the number of Tier 3 Awakened increased.

...

Day 136: Father God's Listening took effect. You learned confirmed intelligence: the advancement requirements for Tier 3 Awakened were similar to those of Tier 2, except they required more and higher-grade Extraordinary Materials...

—The Great Fog was a signal that the Contamination Zones were upgrading. After a Contamination Zone upgraded, Awakened could advance along with it and become even more powerful beings.

—After the second Great Fog appeared, Safe Zones were no longer absolutely safe. They could encounter contamination overflow from Contamination Zones, and contamination was difficult to resist.

One piece of new intelligence after another was still meticulously recorded on paper by Su Ze.

The simulation continued onward...

Selected innate Talent: 'Super Elite Ninja (Purple)'

Day 1: The apocalypse arrived as scheduled...

...

Day 165: Great Fog

Day 166: Just as you expected, the Contamination Zones changed once again. Some Contamination Zones became extremely dangerous, and even you were unwilling to enter them casually.

...

Day 177: You noticed Chosen Ones appearing in the Safe Zones...

Chosen Ones were cursed individuals. They would gain immense power within a short period of time. If they were not swiftly killed, severe contamination would appear in the corresponding Safe Zone...
