NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 13
Chapter 13: Simulating Again, Accumulating Spirit Stones!
Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
【Longevity】: Green talent. You will live a long life free from illness, up to one hundred years old.
Su Xing: “…”
Seeing the newly drawn green talent, Su Xing couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
What kind of joke is “Longevity”?
He was a Cultivator. Living to a hundred years would be a premature death!
Moreover, the apocalypse was coming in fifteen years. What good would longevity do?
Su Xing sighed.
His initial goal was to try his luck and see if he could draw a green-quality Spirit Root talent.
After all, in the last simulation, the elder had explicitly stated that his talent was lacking, being just a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root.
If Su Xing’s talent improved further, he might be able to get better rewards.
“Alas, a thousand energy points wasted…”
Su Xing felt a bit heartbroken but chose to continue simulating.
【You received an order from a new junior, and you went out for power leveling.】
【For the next month, you diligently helped with leveling and spent your free time cultivating.】
【Your Qi Refining cultivation increased to the fourth level of the Qi Refining stage.】
【On November 18, 2023, New Era, you set off for Nanjing City.】
【The next day, you pretended to encounter Jin Congxue by chance outside the city.】
【Using the same tactic, you requested Buddhist teachings from Jin Congxue and gained the opportunity to travel with her.】
【You took a shortcut through a small path back to the city, and accidentally discovered the Azure Cloud Spiritual Field Dungeon.】
【You entered the “Azure Cloud Spiritual Field” Dungeon.】
【You accepted the elder’s task in the Dungeon and began farming.】
【Because you had diligently studied some farming knowledge, the spiritual grains in your field grew even better than before.】
【In your spare time, you focused on improving your cultivation, teaching Jin Congxue farming knowledge, and using wood-attribute spiritual energy to help her with farming.】
【Jin Congxue’s goodwill towards you greatly increased, and you became friends.】
【On the task submission day, the elder gave Jin Congxue fifteen spirit stones and ten catties of spiritual rice as a reward.】
【The elder had you place your hand on a transparent stone, and after testing, confirmed that your talent was still a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root.】
【The elder sighed and gave you thirty-five spirit stones and thirty catties of spiritual rice.】
【Unwilling to give up, you tried to become the elder’s disciple.】
【The elder gently shook his head and frankly said that your aptitude was too poor, with no hope for acheiving immortality, and you were expelled from the Dungeon.】
【You stayed in Nanjing City for over ten days, becoming close friends with Jin Congxue.】
【You returned to Beijing and continued selling equipment.】
【Several months later, Wang Qingxuan found you, and you used the same old tricks.】
【Five years passed, and your business grew larger, your net worth reaching a billion.】
【You kept the thirty-five spirit stones you had newly acquired and ten catties of spiritual rice.】
【In five years, your Qi Refining cultivation advanced to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage, and your physical cultivation advanced to the first level of Bone Refining.】
【Wang Qingxuan found you again and brought you the first half of the Everlasting Spring Technique. You refused to accept it and asked her to find the second half.】
【In the seventh year, your sister Su Nianan died, and you attended her funeral.】
【In the tenth year, your good brother Yu Yan died, and you attended his funeral.】
【In the eleventh year, market fluctuations caused your net worth to multiply tenfold.】
【You looked for Jin Congxue. You had been in contact with her all these years. You requested the fifteen spirit stones from her, which she gave to you for free.】
【In the fifteenth year, the giant beast descended.】
【You gave the beast the middle finger.】
【The beast swallowed the entire Great Xia Country in one bite, and you died at the age of thirty-six!】
【Your Unyielding Gaze Talent activated…】
【Ding, this simulation has ended!】
【You can choose one of the following rewards: Longevity (Talent), Bone Refining Second Stage (Cultivation), Great Perfection of Qi Refining (Cultivation), Fifty Spirit Stones (Item), Ten Catties of Spiritual Rice (Item)】
Su Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and looked at the rewards.
【Longevity】: Green talent, priced at 10,000 energy points.
【Bone Refining Second Stage】: Cultivation, priced at 2,000 energy points.
【Great Perfection of Qi Refining】: Cultivation, priced at 900 energy points.
【Fifty Spirit Stones】: Item, priced at 50,000 energy points.
【Ten Catties of Spiritual Rice】: Item, priced at 10,000 energy points.
Su Xing chose the reward of 50 spirit stones without hesitation. Although spending 50,000 energy points made him feel a bit pained, the spirit stones were essential for him.
Then, Su Xing looked at the description of the spiritual rice.
【Spiritual Rice】: Rice nourished by spiritual energy and springs, sweet and delicious. Long-term consumption can improve constitution, enhance physical strength, and prolong life.
Seeing the description of the spiritual rice, Su Xing had a knowing expression.
The reason he could break through to the Bone Refining stage was rooted in this spiritual rice.
However, this time he lost the Fitness Expert talent, so his simulated cultivation was not as high as before.
“It seems I need to adjust my plan. Not just spirit stones, I also need to accumulate some spiritual rice…”
Su Xing squinted his eyes and thought to himself.
“Ring ring ring~”
At that moment, Su Xing’s phone rang.
“Hello, Senior Su, do you have an appointment this afternoon? I’d like to ask you to help us level up!”
Su Xing nodded and said, “Sure, bring Wang Qingxuan along too. I’ll help her level up as well.”
“Okay, Senior!”
After getting ready, Su Xing prepared to go out.
He soon saw six or seven well-dressed junior girls at the agreed location.
Hiding behind the crowd was the somewhat self-conscious Wang Qingxuan.
Wang Qingxuan stood in the corner, occasionally stealing glances at Su Xing, her face slightly red.
Su Xing pretended not to notice and continued his usual monster grinding.
During this period, Su Xing would often call Wang Qingxuan to join him in the Dungeon for leveling, even allowing her to write IOUs to repay later.
The purpose was naturally to maintain a good relationship with Wang Qingxuan. After all, the clue about the mysterious organization she had was crucial, relating to the second half of the Everlasting Spring Technique, though Su Xing didn’t have the time to pursue it yet.
According to Su Xing’s findings, Wang Qingxuan hadn’t yet contacted the mysterious organization. She would actually make contact about ten months later.
But this didn’t affect Su Xing’s efforts to build goodwill! It would eventually be useful.
Time flew by, and another week passed quietly.
During this week, Su Xing’s income was still less than fifty thousand, all of which he converted into simulation energy.
On October 28, 2023, New Era, Su Xing prepared for a simulation in his dormitory.
“Start simulation!”
【Consuming 800 energy points, remaining energy: 200,870 points, no remaining Simulation Chance.】
【Simulation starts!】
【Extracting white talent costs 100 energy points, green talent costs 1,000 energy points. Proceed with extraction?】
“Extract green talent”
Su Xing still wanted to try his luck. After all, a green-quality Spirit Root talent was very important to him.
【Ding, congratulations on obtaining the green talent, Swordsmanship Prodigy!】
(Author’s Note: Just a brief explanation, the Azure Cloud Spiritual Field Dungeon, according to the information the protagonist has, is a time-limited Dungeon that will disappear in a month. After this Dungeon disappears, from the protagonist’s perspective, there are no other channels to obtain spirit stones and spiritual rice, thus the priority is extremely high～)
