Mechanics
- Wallet balance: The simulator tracks Origin Jade in a wallet and announces balances and deductions. Su Wu begins with 5 Origin Jade, without knowing where it came from 1.
- Simulation rewards: Completed simulations award Origin Jade according to their rating and qualifying achievements. An unrated simulation can yield no reward 1 2 7.
- Knowledge sales: The simulator purchases learned methods and systematic knowledge. Selling knowledge does not erase Su Wu’s memories of it 29 33.
- Separate fees: Starting a simulation, bringing possessions into it, and redeeming rewards afterward are separately priced services 1 2 35.
- Insufficient funds: Purchases can be denied when the wallet cannot cover the fee. Su Wu’s first attempt to unlock the Gang Cave owner’s past life is rejected with a balance of zero 4.
- Talent upgrades: Origin Jade can make temporary talents permanent, but the documented quality upgrades use Talent Upgrade Talismans, not direct Origin Jade payments 5 9 13.
Obtaining Origin Jade
Rating Rewards
These are the documented base rewards, before achievement bonuses.
| Simulation rating | Base reward | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| None | 0 | Su Wu’s first death and his Cloud Dragon Temple death yield no reward 2 7. |
| D− | 1 | Awarded after identifying the shadow-based killer and acquiring Pain Transfer 2. |
| D+ | 5 | Recorded in both future-life and Zhuo Jie past-life simulations 17 27 29. |
| C, middle tier | 30 | Recorded after an escape attempt through Mingzhou 18. |
| C+ | 50 | Recorded in the Shadow Wraith and multiplying-fiend scenarios 5 22. |
| B− | 100 | Recorded after the Lantern Fiend encounter and during Zhuo Jie’s past life 9 33. |
| B | 300 | Recorded after clearing the Trapped Corpse Fiend’s subordinate corpses 39. |
| B+ | 500 | Recorded after clearing the Shadow Fiend scenario 13. |
Achievement Bonuses
| Achievement | Origin Jade awarded | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Acquire a temporary white talent | 1 per talent | Dark Walker, Koi Blessing, Hunger Endurance, and three white talents receive this bonus 5 9 13 22. |
| Acquire temporary Street Fighting at green quality | 10 | Listed separately from the white-talent rewards 22. |
| Discover a safe house | 10 | Appears in several reward breakdowns 13 17 22 39. |
| Evade the Shadow Fiend | 3 per escape | Four escapes award 12 13. |
| Evade Narrow-Sleeved Guanyin | 10 per escape | One escape awards 10; two award 20 27 33. |
| Evade the Eye Fiend | 30 per escape | Fifteen escapes award 450; eighteen award 540 22 39. |
| Evade a Withered Fiend on the verge of revival | 20 | Awarded during Zhuo Jie’s past life 33. |
| Evade a Hair Fiend on the verge of revival | 5 | Awarded during Zhuo Jie’s past life 33. |

| Clear all Trapped Corpses belonging to the Trapped Corpse Fiend | 1,000 | Awarded for temporarily depriving the fiend of its killing ability 39. |
- Repeated clears do not guarantee the same payout: Su Wu notes that clearing the Shadow Fiend’s area eventually stops yielding basic rating rewards, while successful pursuit evasions still earn bonuses 16.
Selling Knowledge
| Knowledge sold | Sale value | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Human-Skin Withered Ghost Painting crafting method | 3,000 | Available after witnessing the entire creation process 29. |
| Complete Fragrant Blood Offering production method | 1,000 | Learned during Zhuo Jie’s past life 33. |
| Partial Corpse Incense Offering production method | 200 | Available after using an offering and learning part of its manufacture 33. |

| Fiend classifications | 500 | Sold alongside the offering methods and Binding Practice knowledge 33. |
Uses and Prices
Starting Simulations
| Simulation | Entry cost | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Su Wu’s own future life | 1 | The initial simulation option 1. |
| Gang Cave owner’s past life | 500 | Requires the relic; its owner is later identified as Zhuo Jie. Another attempt also costs 500 4 24 25 28. |
| Coarse porcelain bowl owner’s past life | 100 | Appears after Su Wu obtains the bowl 16 24. |
| Dagger owner’s past life | 30 | Becomes available through the dagger relic 47. |
- Relic access has a separate physical limit: Each entry into Zhuo Jie’s past life damages the Gang Cave. Once it crumbles, it can no longer be used for simulations 35.
Bringing Items or the Body into a Simulation
| Selection | Documented cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary possessions in the initial item list | 1 each | Includes tissues, a knife, stools, and cups 1. |
| Infrared night-vision device | 1 | Purchased for the stairwell escape attempt 4. |
| Gang Cave | 1 | Purchased alongside the night-vision device 4. |
| One candle | 1 | Individual transfer price 19. |
| Box of twenty candles | 5 | Cheaper than transferring twenty candles individually 19. |
| Imperial Bell | 1 | Listed during the Ghost Hand test simulation 35. |
| Corpse Buddha Ghost Hand | 500 | Charged separately even after Su Wu incorporates it in reality 35. |
| Su Wu’s body in his future life | 10 initially; later 12 and 100 | The increase to 12 is explicitly attributed to improved personal talent 1 7 35. |
| Su Wu’s body in Zhuo Jie’s past life | 20 additional | Offered alongside the 500 entry fee; Su Wu declines 24 28. |
| Su Wu’s body in the Fighter’s past life | 180 additional | Combined with the 30 entry fee for a total deduction of 210 47 49. |
- Ownership restriction: The real-world transfer list contains Su Wu’s possessions, not every object around him 6.
- Past-life restrictions vary: Zhuo Jie’s simulation allows nothing except Su Wu himself, while the Fighter’s simulation offers several possessions. Su Wu suspects eligibility depends on whether an item existed in the simulated period 24 47.
- Physical entry is dangerous: Beneficial and harmful bodily effects are irreversible. If Su Wu enters with his real body and dies, he also dies in reality 1 49.
Redeeming Talents and Rewards
| Reward or purchase | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First-time random permanent talent | 1 | Su Wu receives Composure at green quality 1. |
| Pain Transfer, white | 50 | Converts the temporary talent into a permanent one 2. |
| Dark Walker, white | 50 | Purchased to reduce reliance on night-vision equipment 5. |
| Koi Blessing, white | 50 | Purchased before being upgraded with a talisman 9. |
| Art of Speaking, Street Fighting, and Blood-Draining Berserker, white | 150 total | Redeemed together after the multiplying-fiend simulation 22. |
| Chevrolet Cruze car key | 10 | Taken into reality alongside the three talents 22. |
| Mind-Root Reserve | 1,000 each | Su Wu purchases two together for 2,000 27 29. |
| Incomplete Tiger Demon Curse Mark | 1,000 | Offered by the simulator; Su Wu rejects it 33 34. |
| Fragrant Blood Offering | 1,000 | Listed as a purchasable reward 33. |
| Corpse Incense Offering | 2,000 | Listed as a purchasable reward 33. |
| Corpse Demon's Hand / Corpse Buddha Ghost Hand | 2,000 | Its price is reduced to 1% of its actual value because it derives from an entity in Su Wu’s personal item 13 33. |
| Human-Skin Withered Ghost Painting | 5,000 | Its crafting method can be sold separately for 3,000 29. |
| Corpse Buddha Ghost-Bone Python Form | 50,000 | Also priced at 1% of actual value; forced fusion would kill Su Wu at his current bodily strength 39. |
- Payment does not remove supernatural hazards: The Ghost Hand’s containment, vitality costs, and eventual reawakening remain relevant after purchase 13 34.
- Containment service: The simulator offers to contain the Ghost Hand within its host free of charge upon redemption, but initially reports only a 1% success rate 13.
Story Role
Origin Jade initially forces Su Wu to ration every experiment. He declines unnecessary item transfers, spends his remaining funds on the night-vision device and Gang Cave, and later postpones buying Pain Transfer to preserve a reserve for further simulations. Even when he can afford Zhuo Jie’s past life, he prioritizes investigating his immediate future until he can reach safety 1 4 9 13.
Knowledge sales make larger purchases possible. Selling the Human-Skin Withered Ghost Painting method funds two Mind-Root Reserves; selling what Guangfa teaches him later raises his wallet to 4,558 Origin Jade. He then spends 3,000 on another reserve and the Corpse Buddha Ghost Hand, turning discoveries within simulations into permanent real-world capabilities 29 33 34.
