Another Gold Talent Acquired!

As Su Ze's thoughts continued to ferment,

The simulation continued...

On the 234th day, after the Great Fog, the Contamination Zones changed as expected, becoming even more dangerous and deadly...

On the 239th day, intelligence from multiple sources confirmed that Safe Zones were no longer absolutely safe. All ordinary people would be forced to take risks and attempt to become Awakened. The Kindling Project was therefore called into question...

On the 245th day, various sides vied and debated whether the Kindling Project should continue. You watched from the sidelines, utterly indifferent, and continued gathering the intelligence you wanted.

On the 260th day, you once again obtained crucial intelligence regarding Contained Objects. An Awakened from abroad had tamed a terrifying creature that seemed to be a Contained Object. Relying on the terrifying creature beneath him, the Awakened swept through all opposition and was exceptionally powerful...

After some thought, you believed there might be something suspicious about this intelligence.

On the 262nd day, you received confirmed intelligence that the foreign Awakened who had previously tamed a Contained Object was dead. The cause of death was unknown, and the Contained Object vanished along with him.

On the 288th day, the Great Fog.

On the 290th day, the source of pollution in a Contamination Zone was found and destroyed, and the Contamination Zone promptly disappeared. With the intelligence network you had built, the news was quickly relayed to other Safe Zones.

On the 300th day, the apocalypse seemed to be ending. Many people began making plans for rebuilding after the apocalypse. You watched coldly and led the subordinates loyal to you in searching for intelligence concerning the apocalypse's end—Stars Fall.

On the 315th day, someone saw Stars Fall in a nightmare. You investigated but gained nothing. The nightmare seemed to have been merely accidental, yet that person had indeed obtained the Word Spirit Technique from it...

You learned that Awakened could obtain Word Spirit Techniques not only when advancing; other special opportunities could also grant them Word Spirit Techniques.

On the 320th day, under the banner of post-apocalyptic reconstruction, you were asked to choose a side. Tired of these people's childish games, you began systematically killing some of them.

On the 329th day, you were disappointed, for you still had not found any clues about Stars Fall.

On the 330th day, a massive earthquake struck. Stars Fall. You seemed to have witnessed the end of the apocalypse...

Congratulations, you have completed the entire Doomsday Simulation.

This simulation's evaluation: A ruthless apocalypse hunter.

Please choose one of the following three simulation rewards:

1. Spider Sense (Purple)

2. Global Link (Gold)

3. One accurate piece of intelligence regarding a Contained Object (Mythical Creature)

Once again, he had lived to see the end of the apocalypse.

Unfortunately...

He still had not found any intelligence related to the apocalypse's end.

Su Ze steadied himself for a moment before selecting some potentially useful content from the simulation text and recording it on paper.

"Phew..."

After finishing his notes, Su Ze let out a breath of stale air.

Then, with a snap, he set down the pen in his hand, raised his head, stretched his brows, and loosened his muscles.

"These pieces of intelligence about Contained Objects... can only serve as references."

After resting for a moment, Su Ze looked through the simulation text again.

He first reviewed the intelligence regarding Contained Objects, then carefully considered the struggles and contests of the others in the apocalypse.

Whether it was those who continued fighting for power and profit in the apocalypse or those who chose to sacrifice themselves to preserve the Kindling Project, he had no desire to judge either side.

Because separating the two into right and wrong was far too childish.

Besides, some things could only be truly felt after seeing them for oneself.

In other words, he would talk about it when that day truly came!

Simulation reward selected—Global Link (Gold)

Simulator cooldown: 19 hours 59 minutes

He directly chose the simulation reward.

Although the other two rewards were also rather tempting.

There was no need to mention Spider Sense.

As for the third reward, an accurate piece of intelligence about a Contained Object, Su Ze truly wanted to open it and take a look.

After all, he had gone through so many simulations, and he had continuously grown stronger within them.

Yet he still knew very little about Contained Objects, which was enough to show just how mysterious they were...

"Maybe the key to breaking Stars Fall lies with those Contained Objects..."

Such a thought surfaced in Su Ze's mind.

He still was not sure whether his Avalon could keep him safe when Stars Fall came.

That was why he remained so persistent in gathering intelligence about Stars Fall.

He could not just resign himself to living only these last few hundred days.

"Mm, let's test the Talent first..."

Still seated at his desk, Su Ze closed his eyes. After sensing the Talent's ability, he quickly came up with a name in his mind...

Qin Yushi.

As her name and appearance surfaced in his mind, an arcane sensation arose.

Although his eyes were closed, he could still see faint, dim lights. The lights seemed to form a spacetime tunnel, twisting and folding before his eyes.

Then all movement abruptly stopped, locking onto a vague destination...

"So that's how it's used."

Su Ze nodded to himself.

He understood.

As long as he knew there was a person named Qin Yushi in the world, he could directly locate her and attempt to link with her.

However, if he wanted to use this ability to investigate her location or even spy on her actions, that would not work.

Because he could not see anything. There was merely a terminal he could link to...

If I linked with Qin Yushi right now...

Su Ze wanted to test it further, to see what it would feel like after linking with a target.

He even wanted to try controlling the target and see what that felt like.

But Su Ze only thought about it and had no intention of actually trying it now.

Because, as he had said before, he did not want anyone else to know that he knew about the apocalypse in advance, much less that he had already obtained all kinds of powerful abilities before it began...

"That's enough."

Withdrawing Global Link, Su Ze's vision returned to normal.

Outside the window, the sunlight was just right, and he could hear the elderly residents in the complex chatting and laughing.

"Bzz—"

The phone on the desk vibrated.

Chen Keqing had sent him a message, asking whether he was working part-time at the convenience store right now.

They had agreed to meet at ten in the morning, and it was now ten...

"I'll be at the store soon," Su Ze replied.

"Oh, okay. Then I'll bring it over to you in a bit. (Smile.)"

After replying, Su Ze rose from his desk.

He picked up the cup of hot water beside him and took a big gulp, then returned to his room to change into clothes for going out.

When he came back to the desk, he picked up his phone and glanced at the messages in the class group. The class social event they had previously arranged was also today in the afternoon. Students from both classes would be going to Chu River Park for a group activity...

After reading the messages, Su Ze slipped his phone into his pocket.

Before leaving, he briefly tidied up the notebook on his desk. Only after arranging the intelligence about the apocalypse neatly did he head out...
