A Meeting Method Like a Fixed Ritual!

You have selected the innate talent 'Mission Impossible (Purple)'

Simulation begins...

Day 1, the apocalypse arrived as scheduled. You chose Safe Zone SC-35 as the starting point of your apocalypse...

Day 2, the temperature plummeted...

Day 61, the Great Fog arrived. You had long been prepared. Not only did you send seven informants under your control into the Great Fog to search for Qi Xiaoye, but you also teleported from Suzhou City to Cloud City and personally entered the Great Fog, risking your life to search for her...

You failed. Fortunately, neither you nor your informants lost your way in the Great Fog. You made a Complete Retreat.

Day 103, you brought your family to BC-10, where you would continue overseeing intelligence work.

Day 113, supported by a powerful intelligence network, you obtained news of nuclear weapons. Unable to restrain your curiosity, you wanted to know whether the fixed date of the Great Fog's arrival, like the apocalypse's endpoint, had a chance of changing...

You began making plans. You wanted to detonate several nuclear bombs.

Day 115, Great Fog...

Day 119, under your forceful urging, several bombers risked taking off and crossed the skies above numerous Contamination Zones. In the end, a bomber successfully entered the airspace of an island nation and blindly dropped a nuclear bomb...

Day 160, the Great Fog arrived, five days earlier than expected. You reached a conclusion...

Like the apocalypse's endpoint, the Great Fog did not necessarily arrive on a fixed date. However, you did not know how nuclear bombs functioned as a variable in this.

You have selected the innate talent 'Cold-Blooded Killer (Blue)'

Simulation begins...

Day 1, the apocalypse arrived as scheduled. You chose SC-35 as your apocalypse spawn point...

Day 2, the temperature plummeted...

Day 19, you completed the deployment of your informants in Cloud City and began investigating all information that might be related to Qi Xiaoye in advance.

Day 39, you still had not obtained any information about Qi Xiaoye.

Day 61, the Great Fog descended. You released all your informants and had them wander recklessly through the fog at the risk of their lives. Two of your informants lost their way in the mist. They had originally been far apart in different locations, but with a single step, the two met in the Great Fog...

You knew this was common in the Great Fog. People could unknowingly teleport, and teleportation often meant losing one's sense of direction. You lost two informants. Their necks were twisted by unknown monsters within the mist.

Day 62, the Great Fog dispersed. You failed again and did not find Qi Xiaoye.

Day 130, you happened to obtain information regarding a Contained Object. With the Cold-Blooded Killer talent, you went to investigate...

Day 131, to be safe, you decided to use Global Link to control others and investigate the Contained Object that had appeared in the building. The Contained Object, which looked like an oversized bug, did not attack your informant at first. It was only when your informant picked up the jewelry that had fallen on the ground...

Your informant was instantly killed by the Contained Object. After weighing your own strength against that of the Contained Object, you gave up the investigation and decisively left.

Day 330, a massive earthquake. Stars Fall...

Congratulations, you survived until the apocalypse's endpoint.

Simulator cooldown: 9 minutes 50 seconds

It was now a little past six in the morning.

The sky outside the window was beginning to brighten, and the cup of water on the desk had already been drained.

Su Ze's gaze rested on the Simulator text as he waited for the cooldown to end once again.

At the same time, he analyzed the intelligence that had appeared in the simulations...

Still can't find her?

Where exactly did things go wrong?

His insistence on finding Qi Xiaoye was, of course, not merely because he was curious about what this perfect-looking girl actually looked like.

More importantly, without her, he could forget about becoming an Awakened in the simulations.

He could also forget about researching those bizarre and unpredictable Contained Objects.

It could not be helped. The simulated version of himself would always place survival above all else.

Without knowing anything about a Contained Object, the simulated him simply could not risk investigating it...

And not taking the risk to investigate meant that the path for him to become an Awakened would remain difficult to fully understand.

Another noteworthy point was that he had confirmed in the simulation that the arrival dates of the Great Fog and the apocalypse's endpoint were not fixed.

But as for why they were not fixed, Su Ze could not yet offer an accurate explanation.

In any case, after obtaining this piece of information, he had basically avoided touching nuclear bombs in subsequent simulations.

The reasoning was easy to understand.

The simulated him merely wanted to live a few more days...

If he touched nuclear bombs and caused the apocalypse's endpoint to arrive early, what benefit would that bring him? None!

"Ding—"

An alarm clock rang in the bedroom.

But it was quickly turned off.

Chen Keqing was probably getting up. Senior high school students had it pretty hard, waking early and sleeping late...

However, Su Ze did not pay much attention to Chen Keqing.

The Simulator's cooldown had also ended at just that moment. He sat upright at his desk and continued the simulation...

Doomsday Simulation has begun...

Please choose one of the following three talents as the innate talent for this simulation!

Death Singer (Green): Your singing has tremendous destructive power. When your physical body perishes, your singing will still echo through the world for a while.

Christmas Tree (Blue): You can plant a Christmas Tree seed in an enemy's butt. If the enemy does not expel the seed within one day, the Christmas Tree will burst open their body and ultimately kill them.

Let It Go (Gold): You will not gain any talents, but one of your strong wishes may come true.

A Gold Talent had appeared!

Su Ze's gaze locked onto that glimmer of gold.

Without the slightest hesitation, he chose the Gold Talent.

Before the simulation began, he repeatedly muttered to himself...

One strong wish—this wish can only be to find Qi Xiaoye.

Although Su Ze still had other apocalypse-related information he wanted to know.

Such as the terrifying secrets hidden within the Great Fog.

Or how he could become an Awakened.

None of that information was as important as Qi Xiaoye. After all, as long as he found Qi Xiaoye, he might obtain more than one precious piece of key intelligence...

Simulation begins

Day 1, the apocalypse arrived as scheduled. You chose Safe Zone SC-35 as the starting point of your apocalypse...

Day 2, the temperature plummeted...

Day 19, relying on absolute force, you once again consolidated your prestige within the Safe Zone. At the same time, you continued reinforcing your wish to find Qi Xiaoye.

Day 30, without any warning, you became certain that the Let It Go talent was taking effect.

Day 33, your wish was strong, and you received Inspiration. You immediately used the Advent Talent to arrive in Cloud City. You went to Yun City No. 18 Middle School. The school was now a Contamination Zone, but you entered directly...

Guided by the talent, you entered the school field. Following the stairs at Exit No. 3, you walked up twelve steps. As you took the thirteenth step, you silently counted thirteen in your heart...

You seemed to have entered another space. You saw the person you wanted to see. Qi Xiaoye appeared in your sight. She seemed to have entered this space before you. After talking, you learned that the two of you were trapped in an enclosed space. Upon further investigation, you discovered that unless you solved the math problem on the blackboard on one side of the space, neither of you could leave...

The math problem on the blackboard was roughly as difficult as the final major question on a college entrance exam. As a university student, you had long passed your peak of knowledge, so you entrusted Qi Xiaoye with solving it. Yet after racking her brains for three hours, she could not even make headway on the first sub-question...

After thinking for a moment, you struggled to solve the problem before the Advent duration ended, and the two of you escaped the enclosed space.

Day 34, with the Advent Talent, you carried Qi Xiaoye back from Cloud City. For the rest of the day, you secretly investigated Qi Xiaoye. Just as you had imagined, she had forgotten all her memories from before meeting you...

Using your informants in Cloud City, you investigated the Contamination Zone where No. 18 Middle School was located. You discovered that this Contamination Zone had only refreshed once, the day before your arrival in the past.

Day 35, after combining all the intelligence, you reached a conclusion...

The Great Fog had nothing to do with Qi Xiaoye's appearance. The second refresh of the Contamination Zone where No. 18 Middle School was located was the key to the girl's appearance. Therefore, if you wanted to find Qi Xiaoye, you had to act before the Great Fog arrived. Otherwise, after the Great Fog, the Contamination Zone would refresh again, and you would lose the chance to find her.

Swish—

The pen tip moved back and forth across the paper.

Su Ze recorded the contents of the simulation text in detail on paper.

Does this count as getting a reward for free? Heh...

He smiled unconsciously, feeling rather good.

He now knew where the problem lay.

No wonder he had never been able to recreate the scene of meeting Qi Xiaoye in the Great Fog during his previous simulations.

So the Great Fog really had been a smokescreen.

That Great Fog was not a signal for their meeting at all. It was a signal of a final ultimatum.

Once the Great Fog passed, there would be no way to find Qi Xiaoye.

So, as long as I copy the meeting method from this simulation, I'll definitely be able to see her after the real apocalypse arrives...
