Chapter 154: Smulator Upgrade

Sorry for the lack of updates, I had Covid…

…

[You’re dead.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 245 days. System Cooldown Time: 245 minutes.]

…

The room was eerily silent.

At that moment, Zhao Hao’s heart didn’t move at all.

Wasn’t the first human he had encountered after escaping back to the human territory with great difficulty the leader of the investigation team, a traitor of the human race?

He couldn’t be any angrier.

“F*ck! What kind of bullsh*t human race is this!?

“First, that Long Zhan tried to kill me because of a bullsh*t threat, and now there’s that leader of the investigation team, Mountain Rat, who colluded with the Ghost race!? How can I survive after transmigrating!?”

Zhao Hao couldn’t help but curse. He felt a deep sense of powerlessness. No matter how he cultivated, he couldn’t reach the highest realm. There were existences stronger than him.

“Why don’t I just stay in the world in the painting and live until I die?”

Zhao Hao couldn’t help but feel disheartened. He gave up struggling.

Zhao Hao looked at the countdown clock. There were only two days left, and he had already extracted eight of his talents. Zhao Hao couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Hao finally came to a conclusion. No matter how hard he tried to simulate the situation in the remaining two days, there was no way he could reach the strength to travel freely in the human universe.

There was no need to even think about becoming a Supreme being. Even the Sage Emperor realm was unachievable.

Furthermore, the Sage experts he had come into contact with could know the general situation of his simulator. In this way, the probability of an accident occurring was exceptionally high.

Therefore, in the next two days, the best method was to draw two critical Red Talents.

He needed one talent that could ensure he wouldn’t die no matter what and one talent that could quickly increase his cultivation base without exposing himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao felt he couldn’t waste any more time. The simulator’s countdown was about four hours, and there were still about 12 hours before he could extract his talents.

Time was tight, so Zhao Hao flew out of the villa. The sky was still completely dark, but it did not affect Zhao Hao at all.

After recalling the myths and legends, Zhao Hao began to fly toward one place after another.

Nuwa Palace, Pangu Palace, Olympus Temple, Titan Celestial, Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, God’s Church…

Zhao Hao visited all the legendary palaces of powerful existences on the Earth one by one.

Although the quality was uneven and some of the talents were not very powerful, Zhao Hao had collected more than 10 Red talents in one night.

[Ding! The Red Talents in the Cultivation Simulator have reached 100. You have met the requirement to level up. Would you like to level up?”

Just as Zhao Hao was about to return, a system notification sounded.

Zhao Hao was stunned. “The legendary system upgrade!?”

Zhao Hao couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the change in the upgraded Cultivation Simulator?”

Indeed, because his strength had increased too quickly, the current Cultivation Simulator couldn’t provide him with enough help.

Even those experts above the Sage rank could sense it, causing Zhao Hao to be very passive at times.

[Ding! Cultivation Simulator 2.0. All performance has been greatly improved. It will transcend the great Dao of the universe and will no longer be detected by anyone. It will also provide the host with the ability to conceal one’s cultivation. The ability to conceal one’s talent can block anyone’s prying eyes and provide the ability to strengthen one’s Cultivation Talent. After the simulation, the cooldown time will be halved.”

Zhao Hao’s eyes were shining with excitement. His biggest golden finger had received an epic-level strengthening.

He hurriedly opened the interface and checked the additional functions.

[Talent Strengthening: You can extract two Cultivation Talent per simulation and strengthen a Cultivation Talent, solidifying it. There is a certain chance to upgrade the solidified Cultivation Talent.]

After checking the effects of the talent strengthening, Zhao Hao hurriedly opened the simulator and started the simulation.

[Cultivation Simulator activated.]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

There was no Red talent, but there were five Gold talents.

Zhao Hao thought for a moment and picked three talents related to the path of Confucianism.

[Full of Wisdom (Gold Talent): Your intelligence increases by 100. You have the talent to follow the path of Confucianism, and you are hard to approach.]

[Speech Followed Law (Gold Talent): Your intelligence and agility increase by 100. You can make the things you say become a reality by consuming Scholar Qi.]

[Great Scholar Energy (Gold Talent): Your luck increases by 100. One word can vanquish evil by using the Scholar energy of Heaven and Earth.]

…

[On the first day, you descended to the world as an early-stage Profound Void cultivator. You activated the simulator’s concealment effect, and nobody in the Great Desolate Village noticed you.

[You went straight to Butcher Zhang and kicked a few chickens to death in front of him. Butcher Zhang immediately flew into a rage and cut you into pieces.

[You’re dead.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 1 day. System Cooldown Time: 30 seconds.]

[Do you wish to extract two Cultivation Talents to strengthen your solidified Cultivation Talent?]

Zhao Hao’s eyes sparkled as he spoke.

“Extract talent to strengthen.”

In the next moment, the three Gold talents appeared in Zhao Hao’s eyes. He extracted the Speech Followed Law and the Great Scholar Energy talents.

In an instant, Zhao Hao’s eight Red Talents appeared on the interface with a small (+) sign at the back.

Thinking that both of them were Confucian talents, Zhao Hao clicked on the plus sign after the Disciple of the Venerable Sage twice.

[Ding! Red Talent, Disciple of the Venerable Sage Enhancement +1]

[Ding! Red Talent, Disciple of the Venerable Sage Enhancement +2]

[Disciple of the Venerable Sage +2 (Red Talent): Your intelligence increases by 1,200. The Venerable Sage is guiding you personally. The Scholar Qi of heaven and earth infuses the body. Gods and ghosts are not allowed to get close. The poems you write can be manifested directly. One word can determine life and death.]

“Hmm? The talent in itself has not changed, only the basic attribute increased by 200 units. Isn’t it a little useless?”

Zhao Hao could not help but feel a little disappointed. Nonetheless, a small increase was still an increase in power.

As such, Zhao Hao began to simulate and enhance crazily.

[Ding! Red Talent, Mahayana Holy Body strengthening +1.]

[Ding! Red Talent, Asura in the World enhancement +1.]

[Ding! Red Talent, Mahayana Holy Body enhancement failed.]

[Ding! Red Talent, Mahayana Holy Body enhancement +2.]

…

After repeated enhancement tests, Zhao Hao gradually figured out some patterns of enhancement.
