New Discovery: The Catastrophe Date Could Change!

You have selected the innate talent "Arrival."

Simulation begins.

Day 1: The apocalypse arrived as scheduled. You chose SC-35 as your apocalypse spawn point...

Day 2: Temperatures plummeted, and panic spread. Although there was no real shortage of food at home, Chen Keqing still dragged you out to stock up. Unfortunately, too many people were panic-buying, and you returned empty-handed...

Day 3: Alarming news kept coming in...

Day 17: You defeated the challenger once again and cultivated new informants.

Day 18: You truly used the Arrival talent for the first time. You set Avalon as the transmission origin and transmitted only yourself. You arrived at Safe Zone BC-18, slapped a middle-aged woman hard across the face, then chose to transmit back...

You now understood exactly how to use Arrival. You were glad to have the Global Link talent; otherwise, the Arrival Talent would not have been convenient to use.

Day 61: The Great Fog arrived. You had long since planted seven informants in Cloud City and sent them all into the Great Fog. Six of them found nothing, while one lost their sense of direction within the fog...

The disoriented informant encountered a terrifying creature in the Great Fog. Because you shared the informant's vision, you too gazed upon the indescribable monster. You consumed one layer of Healing Energy before finally recovering.

Day 62: You continued controlling your informants, searching Cloud City for traces of Qi Xiaoye...

Day 101: You arrived at BC-10 and continued overseeing intelligence work.

Day 153: You obtained intelligence regarding a Contained Object—or rather, a Mythical Creature—but did not consider investigating further in the slightest. The reason was that the terrifying creature you had seen on Day 61 still filled you with fear. You knew that in that unknown Sea of Darkness, countless terrifying beings capable of killing you still existed. You did not want to take the risk...

Day 305: You still could not find Qi Xiaoye.

Day 315: While fighting with other factions, you obtained intelligence about nuclear bombs. Through your maneuvering, a nuclear bomb was detonated, causing an unknown number of casualties.

Day 325: A massive earthquake. Stars Fall...

Congratulations, you have completed the entire Doomsday Simulation.

Simulation evaluation: Fear is humanity's oldest and strongest emotion, and you were fortunate enough to taste it.

Please choose one of the following three simulation rewards:

1. Arrival (Gold)

2. Kiss of Healing (Green)

3. Thousand Mile Ears (Green)

Before the desk, Su Ze's gaze was somewhat vacant.

It was nothing else—just that this round of simulation seemed to contain rather a lot of details worth examining.

First, there was the information about Qi Xiaoye. There still had not been much progress, so he would set that aside for now.

Then there was the Gold Talent he had selected in this simulation. That was fairly simple as well.

The key to using the talent was knowing the exact destination. Only then could one transmit there safely. He would not delve into that for the moment either...

There were two things that truly had Su Ze deep in thought.

The first was the terrifying creature he had seen on the sixty-first day of the apocalypse.

The simulation did not clearly describe what kind of existence it was.

Yet merely looking at it head-on had forced him to rely on Fallen Gift to heal himself.

In other words, if he had not possessed healing abilities, he might have kicked the bucket from just one look at it...

"What level of terrifying existence was that?"

As the question arose, Su Ze silently added another layer of vigilance toward the apocalypse.

It was best not to wander around recklessly on Great Fog days.

Thinking about it, Qi Xiaoye seemed to be terrified whenever the Great Fog appeared in the previous simulations.

When he had previously read those simulation records, he had assumed Qi Xiaoye was merely traumatized from having lost her way in the Great Fog.

But now, it seemed that perhaps she was more sensitive to those terrifying beings, which was why she feared the Great Fog...

Aside from this information about Mythical Creatures,

there was another new piece of information that caught Su Ze's attention.

"Why was the apocalypse's end date brought forward?"

It had always been Day 330 when Stars Fall appeared and the apocalypse ended.

But in this simulation, that fixed date had changed.

It had been brought forward by several days...

"Could it be because of the nuclear bomb?"

Su Ze read the text and formed a question.

That really was a variable.

In previous simulations, he had also obtained intelligence about nuclear bombs, but no one had detonated one. Or perhaps someone had, but somewhere far away—so far that even his intelligence network could not reach it...

"This is worth looking into..."

Su Ze first came to that conclusion, intending to observe this point in later simulations.

However...

For the moment, he had no way to continue observing it.

Because he had to choose the talent "Arrival."

It was a Gold Talent, after all. Su Ze believed that since this talent was of the highest rank, it must have its reasons, so he could not let it slip by...

Besides, he no longer needed to worry about not having enough simulation time left.

Once this round's cooldown ended, he would still have a full nineteen hours to simulate the apocalypse to his heart's content. As long as he timed it for the very end and then chose a simulation reward, that would be enough...

Bang!

A sound came from the guest bedroom.

It seemed some idiot had accidentally bumped her forehead and was stubbornly holding back any sound out of embarrassment.

Su Ze smiled knowingly, came back to himself, and chose the simulation reward first.

You have selected the simulation reward "Arrival (Gold)."

Apocalypse Simulator cooldown: 19 hours 59 minutes

Not long after.

The guest bedroom door was slowly pushed open.

Chen Keqing cautiously poked her head out.

"You're awake? There are ingredients in the fridge. How about showing off your cooking skills and making breakfast for two?"

In the study, Su Ze tilted his head and smiled at her.

"Oh—okay! I'll get right to it!"

The moment she heard that the task involved cooking, something she was good at, Chen Keqing immediately got fired up.

Not long after.

Chen Keqing brought two exquisite breakfasts to the dining table.

Su Ze was already seated at the table, all ready to eat, though he was on the phone at the moment.

He said a whole string of "Mm, mm, okay."

Wow—

This really feels like having a successful husband who's always busy with business...

Eek, it feels like we got married in a flash. Ah, so embarrassing. Hehehe...

Still unaware that her inner thoughts had been stolen,

Chen Keqing pursed her lips, savoring the sweetness of it all.

On the other side, Su Ze soon finished the call. Then, while eating breakfast, he said, "After we finish eating, let's move. It'll be good to get some exercise."

Chen Keqing's mouth fell open. "Huh?"

Several hours later.

Chen Keqing carried a bag of luggage to Su Ze's newly purchased home.

"Ah, I'm exhausted..."

After dropping the luggage onto the floor, Chen Keqing collapsed onto the sofa.

There was not actually much to move. She was simply in poor physical condition.

As for why they were moving...

Naturally, it was because this residential complex was the place Su Ze had chosen countless times in his simulations as his apocalypse spawn point: Safe Zone SC-35.

Of course, at this moment, no one yet knew that designation...

"Thanks for the hard work."

Su Ze followed in behind her and casually shut the door. Then he asked Chen Keqing, "By the way, high school students like you still have classes tonight, right?"
