I Bound the Cultivation Simulator

Great Xia, Capital.

Kyoto Vocational University, a men's dormitory.

Ding~

A sudden voice rang out in Su Xing's mind.

Su Xing, who had been packing his gear and preparing to run dungeons for gold, froze where he stood.

"Who? Who's pulling a prank?"

Su Xing looked around the empty dormitory but found nothing.

But immediately after, a string of voices rang out in Su Xing's mind.

Binding Life Simulator...

Binding successful!

Host: Su Xing

Age: 21

Profession: Cultivator

Simulation Count: 1

Energy: 100

Introduction: The Life Simulator will simulate your future entirely according to your development trajectory in the Real World. After the simulation ends, you can receive some of the rewards. Each simulation consumes a certain amount of energy. Simulation Count refreshes once per week.

Su Xing rubbed his eyes and stared at the virtual panel before him in disbelief.

Then two lines of text appeared on the panel.

Start Simulation?

Yes/No

Looking at the panel before him, Su Xing's eyes suddenly reddened.

"Three years! Do you know how I've spent these past three years?"

"Damn it, I thought a transmigrator like me didn't have a Golden Finger!"

That was right. Su Xing was a transmigrator who had arrived in this wondrous world three years ago.

Unlike Earth in his previous life, games had descended upon reality in this world.

Demonic Beasts and Monsters, Secret Realm Dungeons, items and equipment—they emerged one after another...

Even more amazingly, everyone could change professions into a Professional upon turning eighteen. By killing Dungeon monsters, they could gain Experience Points and grow stronger.

Three years ago, Su Xing, who had just transmigrated here, awakened the Unique Hidden Profession: Cultivator!

The news shook the entire Capital. Su Xing was directly admitted through special recruitment into one of the nation's Highest Institutions, Kyoto Vocational University!

At first, Su Xing's performance had indeed been outstanding. Relying on the Cultivator's formidable physical constitution, he quickly stood out among the Freshmen.

But before long, Su Xing discovered a fatal problem: he could not level up!

Other Professionals could obtain Experience Points after killing Dungeon monsters.

Yet no matter how hard Su Xing worked to kill monsters and level up, he could not gain even a single point of Experience Points.

And so, three years passed.

Now a senior, his classmates had each grown from Bronze Rank to Silver Rank, Gold Rank, and even higher...

While he remained a mere Qi Refinement Realm Stage One cultivator.

But Su Xing refused to accept this. He frantically searched for a way to level up, and at last, he found something.

That was body refinement!

Since he could not cultivate qi, he would temper his physique!

So Su Xing crazily ran Dungeons to farm equipment and sell it for money. He even brought Freshmen into Dungeons to level up.

He then used the money he earned to buy Dungeon Items that could strengthen his physique.

It took him a full three years to go from Body Refinement Stage One to Body Refinement Stage 6.

At Body Refinement Stage 6, one could wield the strength of several thousand jin. It sounded impressive.

But his actual combat strength was not even comparable to that of a Level 30 Bronze Rank Strength Type Professional.

Yet Su Xing did not give up. He continued Dungeon Crawling for gold, power-leveling others, and ceaselessly Tempering the Physique.

Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes. With a pounding heart and trembling hands, Su Xing silently recited:

"Start Simulation!"

100 Energy consumed. Remaining Simulation Count: none.

Simulation Starts!

This Talent draw is free. Random Talent Drawing...

Ding, congratulations! You have obtained the White Talent: Spiritual Root Holder!

Spiritual Root Holder: White Talent. Your roots are different from ordinary people's, allowing you to embark on the immortal path.

Su Xing was stunned when he saw this Talent.

Could it be that he had been unable to cultivate all these years because he had the profession but no Spiritual Root, leaving him unable to raise his Qi Cultivation realm?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Su Xing chose to continue the simulation.

In the dormitory, you awakened your Golden Finger. You were very happy.

That Afternoon, several freshman girls invited you to take them into a Dungeon to level up. You readily agreed.

You performed valiantly in a Bronze Rank Dungeon. After clearing it, you obtained several pieces of White Equipment, along with ten thousand yuan in payment.

One of the girls was short on money and wanted to pay in another (ruta) way.

You looked at her face and agreed.

The next day, you began cultivating, feeling Refreshed, but had no idea where to start.

You began searching Online for qi cultivation techniques and found a world-shaking technique called "Pangu's Heaven-Opening Art"!

Overjoyed, you began cultivating it.

After cultivating for a day, your cultivation did not improve, and you nearly cultivated yourself into a case of qi deviation.

Unwilling to give up, you continued cultivating day and night.

A month later, your Qi Cultivation was still at Qi Refinement Realm Stage One.

You understood. All those cultivation techniques Online were scams!

So you began spending heavily to acquire cultivation techniques, only to receive a pile of cheap junk sold on a Certain E-commerce Platform for 9.9 yuan with free shipping.

Left with no other choice, you could only continue to Temper the Physique.

When Su Xing saw this, his heart went cold. Without cultivation techniques, how was he supposed to cultivate?

Su Xing sighed and continued the simulation.

You did not give up. While Tempering the Physique, you also asked around for news of cultivation techniques.

In your spare time, you often took freshman girls to level up. While making money, you also had no shortage of zero-distance contact.

Good times did not last. Half a year passed, and that freshman girl broke through to become a Silver Rank Professional, cutting off contact with you.

A Peaceful Afternoon, the wind was extraordinarily boisterous. You found her.

You asked her, "I thought that with the friendship between us, we could talk about feelings." But she told you, "That was only a transaction."

Your self-respect was wounded. Turning sorrow and indignation into strength, you cultivated diligently for half a year, and finally broke through to Body Refinement Stage 7.

Graduation was now approaching. Your classmates were all already renowned Professionals, while you, with Insufficient Strength, could not graduate.

You repeated the year, but were Secretly Delighted, because a new batch of freshman girls had enrolled, and you could continue taking them to level up.

Gradually, you became famous. All the new students in the school knew there was a senior who had repeated his fourth year and was insanely good at taking new students to level up.

You reaped great rewards, amassing assets worth tens of millions in three years!

Seeing this, Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered:

"It wouldn't be bad to keep repeating the year like this! At least there'd always be fresh freshman girls..."

But then Su Xing's expression changed.

You had originally thought your days would continue peacefully like this.

Unfortunately, because you had failed to graduate for five consecutive years, you were expelled.

After being expelled, you lost your greatest source of income. And because your strength was so low, you could only spend your days in Bronze Rank Dungeons.

Having learned your lesson from bitter experience, you decided to work hard at Tempering the Physique.

You spent two years and exhausted all your savings to reach Body Refinement Stage 8.

Seeing this, Su Xing felt miserable. He had not expected body refinement to be so difficult.

He had spent three years going from Body Refinement Stage One to Body Refinement Stage 6,

But his future self had spent a full seven years going from Body Refinement Stage 6 to Stage 8.

Su Xing patiently continued reading.

Penniless, you could only return to your old trade and live a life of Dungeon Crawling for gold.

Your blade had not grown old. At Body Refinement Stage 8, you were invincible throughout Bronze Rank Dungeons, saving up a fortune worth tens of millions.

One day, your parents told you that your younger sister, Su Nian'an, had died...
