However, when Ling Yi saw this person's stats, he felt no sympathy whatsoever.
[ Pang Qi ]
[Identity: Flower Thief (committed 77 crimes, directly or indirectly causing 12 deaths)]
[Cultivation Level: Rank Fourth Pin Martial Practitioner ( Minor Accomplishment of the Marrow Refining Realm )]
[ Karmic Luck: -100]
Good heavens, someone so handsome is actually a womanizer?
Damn, with looks like that, if he just stood anywhere, wouldn't girls be swooning over him? Why would he need to be a womanizer?
Fourth Pin Martial Practitioner, no wonder he pierced his collarbone with a hook.
If left unchecked, this wooden cell in the prison simply cannot contain this person.
But how could this person's Karmic Luck be negative?
What exactly is this Karmic Luck?
Ling Yi glanced at the two prison guards escorting him again.
[ Tang Sanshan ]
[Position: Jailer of Sanhe County ]
[Cultivation Level: First Pin Martial Practitioner ( Minor Accomplishment of the Skin Refining Realm )]
[ Karmic Luck: -100 to 11]
[ Peng Tuohai ]
[Position: Jailer of Sanhe County ]
[Cultivation Level: First Pin Martial Practitioner ( Minor Accomplishment of the Skin Refining Realm )]
[ Karmic Luck: -100 to 7]
Is this the range of Karmic Luck Karmic Luck for these two people?
Why is it that the Karmic Luck of these two people fluctuate, while Pang Qi's Karmic Luck remain fixed?
Based on the barrage of comments from the previous two Simulation, Ling Yi had some guesses in his mind.
Pang Qi is a womanizer with a criminal record; barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is almost certainly dead.
Tang Sanshan and Peng Tuohai were prison guards in Sanhe County. Ten days later, during the incident involving the men in black, their fates were hanging by a thread.
If you happen to be on duty when they are on duty, you will surely die. If they change shifts, or if they happen to be not in the cell at that time, you might survive.
Karmic Luck inevitably leads to misfortune.
Does this negative 100 Karmic Luck mean Death Qi?
To be honest, even if his cheat system didn't have the Simulation function, the ability to see people's data panels alone is incredibly overpowered.
I just don't know if Karmic Luck can increase my Karmic Luck Points.
Two jailers escorted Pang Qi past Ling Yi's cell, but as they passed Ling Yi's cell door, Tang Sanshan and Peng Tuohai each clasped their hands in a fist salute to Ling Yi.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
These jailers are actually being so polite to me—no, to the Third Prince?
But thinking about it, it makes sense.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; the third prince, though he has committed a crime, is still a prince.
Ling Yi didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
The two jailers bowed to Ling Yi again, then led Pang Qi past Ling Yi's cell and locked him in the cell next to Ling Yi's Pang Qi.
Before being locked up, Pang Qi gave Ling Yi a strange look.
There was a wall between them, so Ling Yi couldn't see what was happening next to him.
After Tang Sanshan and his companion left, the sound of chains rattling came from next door. Pang Qi went to the edge of the cell door and knocked on the Prison bars.
His voice was a little hoarse as he said, "This humble servant, Pang Qi, greets Your Highness the Third Prince."
Ling Yi remained silent; after all, he wasn't the Third Prince, and saying too much would only lead to mistakes.
Ling Yi simply responded with an "Oh."
"It would be my great honor to die alongside Your Highness."
Ling Yi gave another faint "hmm" and remained silent.
Seemingly sensing that Ling Yi was unwilling to say more, Pang Qi said, "This humble servant will not disturb Your Highness's rest any longer."
Then there was silence.
Pang Qi, leaning against the prison door, seemed to be thinking about something, yet a smile played on his lips.
Wearing handcuffs and shackles, with his collarbone pierced and blood seeping out, yet still able to laugh—this person is either mentally ill or possesses immense willpower.
Ling Yi, after two minutes, also started laughing.
Because he discovered that his Karmic Luck Points had increased.
Furthermore, it increases by 1 point per minute. Although it's not as fast as the 1 point per second when the Third Prince was around, 1 point per minute is still quite a lot.
The only one who can provide Ling Yi with Karmic Luck Points is Pang Qi.
Therefore, Karmic Luck can also provide Ling Yi with Karmic Luck Points.
For Ling Yi, knowing this is enough.
"System, continue the Simulation!"
[Ding, would you like to start the Simulation by consuming 2 points of Karmic Luck?]
"Yes!"
[On August 13th, 1208 of the Great Qian Qianli era, you began practicing the Overbearing Fist. Having already grasped the Overbearing Fist techniques, and with the added boost of your Qi and Blood from the Lesser Completion of the Skin Refining Realm Minor Accomplishment, you quickly mastered the Entry and rapidly became proficient.]
[During this time, Pang Qi has been intentionally or unintentionally testing you, seemingly having discovered the fact that you are using a false identity, but you remain unmoved. In your mind, Pang Qi is merely a tool to provide you with Karmic Luck Points.]
[That evening, the jailers came to feed the prisoners. The two men who brought the food were Tang Sanshan and Peng Tuohai. Tang Sanshan brought you food, and Peng Tuohai brought food to the others.]
[Your meal is quite lavish, with wine, meat, and fragrant rolled pancakes, but Pang Qi's meal is just a bowl of spoiled white porridge.]
[Because you cultivate the Overbearing Fist, you need to replenish a large amount of Qi and Blood. The higher your cultivation level, the more Qi and Blood you consume. Ordinary food simply cannot replenish the Qi and Blood you consume.]
[And only Zheng Qi can provide you with Qi and Blood Pill, so you directly have Tang Sanshan summon Zheng Qi and tell him bluntly that you can trade 100 Qi and Blood Pill for the top ten images of the Overbearing Fist.]
[Give the remaining two pictures to Zheng Qi before you go to the guillotine.]
Ling Yi nodded; this method of transaction was the most reasonable.
Before becoming Martial Practitioner, it takes two rounds of practicing the twelve diagrams of the Overbearing Fist to consume one Qi and Blood Pill.
However, Ling Yi has now reached the Minor Accomplishment Skin Refining Realm, and each round of cultivation requires the consumption of two to three Qi and Blood Pill.
If Zheng Qi continues to give Ling Yi three pills a day, it won't be enough for his cultivation needs.
In the future, the consumption of Qi and Blood Pill will be even greater.
[For the next few days, you began to practice the Overbearing Fist like crazy, spending almost every day except for meals practicing, unwilling to even rest for a moment.]
[Three days later, you broke through to the Perfection Skin Refining Realm. Five days later, you broke through to the Bone Tempering Realm for the first time, reaching the Rank Second Pin Martial Practitioner. Your strength increased dramatically, but you have run out of Qi and Blood Pill.]
[So you had Tang Sanshan summon Zheng Qi again, preparing to exchange the last two diagrams of the Overbearing Fist Qi and Blood Pill ahead of schedule. You knew very well that you didn't have much time and needed to maximize your strength within the limited time available.]
Upon seeing this, Ling Yi raised an eyebrow.
Does this mean that the self in Simulation mode is aware that it is in Simulation mode?
[After Zheng Qi arrived, you directly proposed trading the two paintings for Wu Bai Qi and Blood Pill. You thought Zheng Qi would haggle, but to your surprise, Zheng Qi agreed, and agreed very readily.]
This piqued your curiosity, so you directly asked Zheng Qi for the reason. Zheng Qi didn't hide anything, and after Zheng Qi explanation, you realized that you had ultimately underestimated the true value of the Overbearing Fist the Third Prince had given you.
[Over the next few days, you cultivated frantically. Five more days passed, and you consumed two hundred Qi and Blood Pill, forcefully raising your cultivation level to the Great Accomplishment of the Bone Tempering Realm.]
This Simulation bullet hell, did they cut corners?
Why is the Overbearing Fist so awesome? What exactly did Zheng Qi say? Show us in the comments! Did he underestimate the Overbearing Fist? How the hell did he underestimate it?!
On the tenth night, the group of men in black appeared and slaughtered all the prison guards on the first floor, including Tang Sanshan and Peng Tuohai. Not only the guards, but Pang Qi was also killed.
[But this time, before the leader of the men in black could kill you, you chose to speak first, asking them why they wanted to Thrusting you, since you were supposed to be beheaded in half a month. Wasn't this pointless?]
[But the moment you opened your mouth, they knew you weren't the Third Prince. The Third Prince had already escaped. This enraged the leader of the men in black, who pierced your heart with his sword. Even though you were close to the Perfection of the Bone Tempering Realm, you still couldn't withstand it and were Instant Kill.]
[But before you died, you heard from the men in black why they wanted to Thrusting you beforehand.]
[Ding! This Simulation has ended. Please select one reward from the following options!]
[Bonus 1: Memories from the Simulation!]
[Reward 2: 10% of your cultivation level!]
[Reward 3: 600 Qi Gathering Pill!]
This time, Ling Yi was somewhat conflicted.
Choose memory, or choose cultivation?
Just how powerful was that Overbearing Fist? What did the man in black say at the end? Why was he Thrusting beforehand?
Ugh, I mean, why was the Third Prince Thrusting beforehand?
The truth was right before his eyes; by choosing reward 1, he could find out the reason, which made Ling Yi extremely eager.
Ultimately, however, he rationally chose to focus on cultivation.
For Ling Yi right now, strength is the key; as for the truth, he'll deal with it after he survives.
Upon making the choice, a massive amount of energy appeared out of nowhere within his body.
This energy rapidly strengthened Ling Yi's body and bones.
Once the energy subsided, Ling Yi could clearly Perception that he had undergone Tilling Changes.
Ears become more sensitive, vision becomes clearer, and Perception becomes more acute.
In the cell diagonally opposite, the sound of rats crawling along the wall, the rhythmic breathing of Pang Qi next door, and the snoring of the distant jailer Tang Shansan all reached Ling Yi's ears with remarkable clarity.
This feeling is wonderful.
In an instant, the whole world seemed to change.
Ling Yi clenched his fist lightly. At this moment, he felt invincible again, and had an inexplicable urge to smash something.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ling Yi opened his system panel.
[ Karmic Luck Simulation System ]
[Host: Ling Yi ]
[Cultivation Level: Second Pin Martial Practitioner ( Bone Tempering Realm Minor Accomplishment )]
[Technique: None]
[Current Karmic Luck: 65]
[ Karmic Luck Radius: 100 meters]
[Each Simulation currently consumes 10 Karmic Luck Points. Consuming 10 Karmic Luck will allow you to skip the Simulation barrage!]
The Second Pin Martial Practitioner was within Ling Yi's expectations, but the sudden increase in Karmic Luck Points consumed in the Simulation to 10 points was beyond Ling Yi expectations.
"A bullet screen skipping function?" Ling Yi's eyes lit up.
