Second Simulation

[Enter simulation?]

[Yes]

[Please select three of the following random talent entries to begin your life simulation.]

[Alluring Youth (5 stars) (Locked): You are a natural-born heartthrob. If you so desire, even dogs will look at you with affection.]

[Longevity Lock (3 stars): You are not easily killed.]

[Versatile (4 stars): You are proficient in various things that may never come in handy, such as the rich woman's joy ball, the rich woman's joy zither, etc. Remember, the flower language of the steel wool ball is wealth and forbearance.]

[Great Fortune (2 stars): You will be born in a remote corner of the Xianzhou, untouched by knowledge. Although you lack talent and virtue, you never know when you might stumble upon a windfall.]

[Cucumber Head (1 star): You are born different. From birth, you have a cucumber head with red lips and white teeth. Perhaps you can become a rare critic in the world, but only if your parents don't commit infanticide.]

[Sword Heart (5 stars): Anyway, it's not easy to break.]

When Bai Heng first saw these talent entries, his eyes were drawn to [Cucumber Head]. After all, being born with a cucumber head was indeed pretty cool.

Moreover, the description of [Longevity Lock] as "not easily killed" perfectly offset the debuff brought by Cucumber Head.

This way, at least his parents wouldn't strangle him at birth and scream, "Fami... family... family, who understands... ah--------" until he was choked to death.

As for [Versatile], it was a must-pick out of emotion and reason. Who could refuse the opportunity to live off rich women with his skills?

The remaining options were [Great Fortune] and [Sword Heart]. As a five-star talent entry, [Sword Heart] was naturally a lock.

In the end, he leaned towards [Longevity Lock] over [Great Fortune], as lacking talent and virtue would have too great an impact on him.

After a brief analysis, Bai Heng made his choice.

"Select [Longevity Lock], [Sword Heart], [Versatile], and begin simulation with locked [Alluring Youth]."

[Simulation begins.]

[Consciousness transfer in progress, random scene generation in progress.]

Compared to the chaotic sensation of sinking into the sea during his first simulation, this time the process was significantly more comfortable.

It was like lying on a lush field of flowers, opening his hazy eyes.

[One year old: As a short-lived species, you are born on a planet under the jurisdiction of the Buli People. You are a healthy child, and your parents are overjoyed. Unfortunately, the family is poor, and even as a newborn, you often go hungry.]

[Two years old: You grow up normally. There are two older brothers and an older sister in the family, all under ten years old, but they also often go out to work to supplement the family income. They take special care of you, their newborn sibling, and sometimes give you some of their meager rations.]

[Three years old: This year, one of your brothers goes missing. But you are too young to know where he went.]

[Four years old: Your mother is pregnant again. You are going to be an older sibling, and you feel a sense of responsibility.]

[Five years old: You reach the minimum working age on this planet. For the meager salary and barely enough food, you enter the Buli People-controlled mine. Here, you witness the numbness in the eyes of the workers, because even after working all day, the food they earn is only enough for one person to survive normally. But if you don't work, you won't even get that one person's worth of food. All the workers are so skinny, yet they have to toil here.]

[In an accident, you stumbled into a bunker while chasing a wild rabbit in the mountains. Here, you saw many plump but pale people. Out of curiosity, you used your small size to squeeze into a ventilation duct and climbed towards the inside of the bunker. But as you went deeper, you were surprised to find that there were also many people in the bunker who were as skinny as the workers in the mine. They were generally young, appearing to be between 10 and 30 years old.]

[These people were all locked in cages. Once a whistle sounded inside the bunker, they would be released and come to a hall.]

[In the hall was a huge long table, and on the long table was greasy and dirty food. These people numbly swallowed the food, just eating and eating until their mouths were full of oil and they couldn't eat anymore. This scene was like... like livestock raised in a settlement.]

[Smelling the greasy swill in the air, you climbed deeper into the bunker, and the scene that followed was unforgettable.]

[Deep in the bunker was a giant factory built underground. The area of the underground factory was almost a thousand times the size of the bunker. And in this factory, you saw many giant beasts like insects, greedily devouring flesh and blood with human remains, just like the people you had seen before.]

[Two images were linked together in your mind.]

[You finally understood why your brother was taken away two years ago. You also understood why those people were being fed and fattened.]

[That day, you suppressed your nausea and didn't remember how you escaped from the ventilation duct.]

[Three months later, your sister disappeared. But you remembered that the night before she disappeared, she came to your room and kissed you goodbye on the forehead. You hadn't actually fallen asleep, because since seeing the scene in the flesh and blood factory that day, you hadn't been able to sleep peacefully. You were worried that in a dream, you would be sent to that flesh and blood factory and become food for those things.]

[That night, you lay by the window. You witnessed two adults taking your sister away.]

[Although the night was dark, you still clearly saw the appearance of the two adults. They... were your parents.]

[Six years old: Life goes on as usual. Now there are five people left in the family: you, your parents, a nine-year-old brother, and a one-year-old sibling. Your life seems to have not changed, but you notice that your parents are starting to pay attention to your older brother. They also occasionally measure your height, and they are especially happy when they find that you have grown taller.]

[Seven years old: Your older brother disappears as expected. And your mother is pregnant again this year. You know that it will be your turn soon, so one day, you secretly make arrangements with several miners and hide together in the ore carts that supply the Buli People.]

[You have secretly observed that these minerals are sent to the Buli People's starships by ore carts, and then transported to their home planet.]

[A miner claimed that he had driven small starships for the Buli People. As long as you find a chance to sneak into the starship, you will have a chance to escape to another planet and start a new life. He is secretly looking for helpers in the mine, but most people think he is crazy. Only three miners, including you, decide to take a chance with him.]

[Perhaps heaven is also on your side, the ore cart is indeed sent into the starship as expected, and you successfully find an abandoned starship. You secretly enter the abandoned starship on a day when security is lax and take the opportunity to head into space.]
