Coward's Savior

On the bottom third layer, there are three exchangeable items.

These three items refresh randomly and are props that can be used in reality.

All of these items have two exchange prices.

Take the three items currently appearing, for example.

Full Recovery Potion x3 (Virtual: 10 Simulation Point, Real: 100 Simulation Point)

Purification Elixir x1 (Virtual: 10 Simulation Point, Real: 100 Simulation Point)

Coward's Savior x1 (Virtual: 300 Simulation Point, Real: 3000 Simulation Point)

Here, the so-called "Virtual" refers to items that, after being exchanged, appear in the item column of the Panel and can only be used and take effect within that column; they do not exist as physical objects.

"Real," on the other hand, refers to creating something out of thin air so that it appears in reality, allowing it to be used not only by oneself but also by others.

This is also the reason why exchanging for physical items incurs a tenfold cost.

Currently, among these three items in the Shop, Zhao Cheng has used the Full Recovery Potion, which has the effect of restoring 80% of one's state.

This potion is very suitable for cultivation, as it can greatly increase the duration of one's practice.

The second item, Purification Elixir, has the effect of clearing negative status effects below level three from the body.

As for its specific effects, no matter what illness one has—even a disease named after oneself—a single bottle is effective. Even if limbs are severed or chopped off, as long as they are reattached in time, they can be reconnected without any lingering complications, though it cannot regrow limbs for those who lack them.

As for the third item, Coward's Savior, the name might be a bit mocking, but its high price naturally comes with a reason.

While the name of this item is abstract, its effects are solid and tangible.

Coward's Savior: Reorganizes human gene sequences and excavates human genetic potential to the extreme, allowing all aspects of one's constitution to reach the limit of perfect development that genes can attain.

This effect is essentially putting a person through a furnace to be remade; it is equivalent to a stat reset.

To put it simply, it is like resetting innate stats in a game; not only does it max out the stat caps, but it also corrects various negative influences incurred during the development process.

Suppose a person's innate constitution has a max stat of 10. This ten points refers to the points when they fully realize their potential, meaning their constitution can reach ten points after reaching adulthood.

However, if they suffer from malnutrition or various bad lifestyle habits during their development, their constitution might only reach 9 or even 8 points by adulthood.

And this is assuming the person's innate constitution was a max value of 10; if a person's innate constitution was only seven points, they might end up with only 5 points by adulthood after the same experiences.

This Coward's Savior directly erases all negative influences from the development process, and Zhao Cheng feels that this alone is worth 300 points.

As for maxing out the innate stats, Zhao Cheng feels that this item is sold too cheaply.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Zhao Cheng directly used the Shop's lock function to lock the Coward's Savior.

Of course, even with a stat reset and reconstruction, Zhao Cheng would not become a person of innate divine strength who could lift a tripod without cultivation.

Human genes have limits; the ability to lift a tripod belongs to genetic mutation, or rather, it is influenced by traits, which are things closer to the origin than genetic expression.

But even so, it is worth it.

After erasing the negative influences from the development process, to use a metaphysical term, it is an innate body. Although it is not an innate Dao body, there is a saying: "Can you be like a newborn infant by concentrating your qi and reaching softness?" An innate body undoubtedly far exceeds an ordinary constitution in terms of growth potential.

As for the increase in attractiveness and the development of the limbs, these are just minor details, but in a sense, the name Coward's Savior is well-deserved.

Perhaps, in Zhao Cheng's subconscious, this effect is what best matches the name, which is why it manifested this way.

Zhao Cheng's consciousness returned, and he glanced at the time on the electronic clock on the table. From the moment he woke up to completing one simulation and reaching the present, only a few minutes had passed.

When the simulation just ended, Zhao Cheng had glanced at the time; there was almost no time difference before and after the simulation, though it is also possible the time difference was just too short.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng was naturally not sleepy at all, just like a child who had just received a new toy—if he didn't play with it enough, he wouldn't even be able to sleep.

"I want to see exactly what is inside that Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion."

Zhao Cheng vaguely felt he knew how to play this "game."

Isn't it just grinding? He might not have much else, but he certainly doesn't lack the ability to grind; others have a liver in their body, but he is a liver that grew a person.

Simulation start!

It was the familiar darkness, and the Void Kalpa Sword had also returned to his hand.

Without hesitation, the long sword danced in the air, moving with the Wind Severing!

As the sword moved, the sword Zhao Cheng visualized in his heart gradually became clear and agile.

Until a certain moment, his sword path suddenly changed, adding a touch of spirituality.

17th Basic Swordsmanship 6th Revised Edition level +1

His swordsmanship had directly increased from lv7 to lv8.

One must know that just during the day, his swordsmanship was barely lv4. In just two short simulations, spanning only a few hours, his swordsmanship had reached lv8, only two levels away from the master-level lv10.

With the improvement of his swordsmanship and the correction of his sword paths, Zhao Cheng was not only able to train for longer periods with the same amount of vitality, but his efficiency per unit of time had also increased.

Zhao Cheng could clearly feel the process of his spirit and body being "refined."

He felt as if he had transformed into a piece of red-hot iron, while the sword in his hand was a heavy sledgehammer.

Every time he swung his sword, the sledgehammer struck, making his spirit and body even more "pure," as all impurities were hammered out.

Quietude proficiency +1%

Level 8 swordsmanship was in an entirely different league compared to Level 4 swordsmanship; combined with the changes in Zhao Cheng's own talent for the sword, his rate of advancement in realm had increased dozens of times over.

The greater the disparity between his swordsmanship level and his realm, the faster his realm would improve.

Although this speed would drop sharply as his realm rose, at this very moment, Zhao Cheng experienced the thrill of "using a cheat."

Moreover, because this was a simulation, Zhao Cheng did not care at all about the depletion of his life essence caused by overtraining, seeking only to raise his swordsmanship level and sword realm; thus, the duration of this training session was exceptionally long.

However, it was impossible for Zhao Cheng to completely exhaust his vitality and mental energy, so he used a Full Recovery Potion midway to sustain himself.

Until the Blood Moon appeared!
