That night, Su Xing returned to his dormitory in high spirits.
Don’t get the wrong idea, Su Xing didn’t do anything.
He just invited his junior to the little black room for a thorough but heartfelt persuasion.
For a junior who was about to step into the Abyss, Su Xing’s main strategy was spiritual salvation.
Over the next week, Su Xing started taking on a frenzy of orders, leading newbies to level up every day, and exchanging the equipment he obtained for energy.
In just one week, Su Xing had earned more than two hundred thousand Great Xia Coins, a fruitful harvest indeed.
During this time, Su Xing also tried to purchase some higher quality equipment and potions to exchange for energy.
But, regrettably, he discovered that converting white-quality equipment into energy was still the most cost-effective choice.
That day, the life simulator cooled down to completion.
Lying on the bed with excitement, Su Xing chose to simulate.
“Start simulation!”
[You have used 200 points of energy, with 1082 energy points remaining, and unlimited simulations remaining.]
[Simulation begins!]
[Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points, a green talent costs 1000 energy points, do you wish to draw a talent?]
Su Xing hesitated for a moment and chose to draw a white talent.
[You have spent 100 points of energy, with 982 energy points remaining, random talent draw in progress…]
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining a white talent, ‘Business Elite’!]
[Business Elite]: Your business acumen is beyond ordinary people, making it easier for you to make money in trade than average merchants.
Su Xing nodded slightly.
Although the Business Elite talent didn’t directly enhance his strength, it could help him acquire more wealth in the simulation, making it not so bad after all.
[Inside the dormitory, with your unique business insight, you plan to invest to make money.]
[You spent all your savings and purchased a large amount of low-level skill scrolls and equipment.]
[You continued to lead newcomers to level up for extra money.]
[While leveling up, you recommended equipment and skills to the newcomers.]
[The newcomers were persuaded by your eloquence and one by one they took out their money to buy!]
[Through buying low and selling high, you made 30 million in just one year.]
[You were about to graduate, but as a sixth-tier Body Refinement practitioner, you unsurprisingly had to repeat a year.]
[However, you were not discouraged and continued with the business of second-hand dealing.]
[You started monopolizing the on-campus second-hand market, dealing with everything from equipment to skill scrolls to restoration potions.]
[In just two years, you became a businessman worth hundreds of millions.]
[Dissatisfied with just that, you started to develop your own network.]
[You founded a trading organization called the ‘Tarot Society’ and opened shops within Kyoto.]
[Another two years passed, and you were expelled from school.]
[But you didn’t care, as your business was growing bigger and bigger, until one day, you caught someone’s attention.]
[A woman named Wang Qingxuan found you, and to your astonishment, she was the junior you once conducted spiritual salvation on.]
[She told you that she had joined a mysterious organization, and her task this time was to recruit you into the organization!]
[You asked her what organization it was, but she didn’t tell you.]
[You refused to join the mysterious organization.]
[She told you that if you didn’t join the organization, there was only one path left: death.]
[You scoffed and called out several Grandmaster Level professional bodyguards.]
[Your bodyguards were easily taken care of by her.]
[To your surprise, after not seeing her for years, she had actually become a Grandmaster Tier professional.]
Su Xing was stunned at this revelation.
You should know that in this world, the ranks of professionals from low to high are:
“`
Bronze Tier, Silver Tier, Gold Tier, Master Level, Grandmaster Level, Heavenly King Tier, Martial Emperor Tier, Legendary Tier, Great Emperor Tier, Holy Tier, Divine Tier.
And between each tier, there are precisely thirty sub-levels.
For instance, a practitioner at the 30th level of the Bronze Tier, upon reaching max level, can no longer increase their level and must complete an advancement quest in an “Advancement Dungeon” in order to continue leveling up.
And in top institutions like Kyoto Vocational College, breaking through to the Gold Tier within four years would qualify one for graduation.
Only prodigies like Fatty Yu have the potential to reach the Master Level.
But Wang Qingxuan, she actually grew from Bronze Level to Grandmaster Level in just five years?
“Hiss~ There must be a great secret behind this mysterious organization!”
Su Xing took a sharp inhale and continued reading.
[You thought you were surely going to die, but Wang Qingxuan didn’t kill you.]
[She told you, you had shown her kindness in the past, and she wanted to repay you.]
[That night, you made love.]
[The next day, she left, and there were spots of blood on the bedsheet.]
Su Xing was surprised when she saw this; she didn’t expect that Wang Qingxuan was actually a virgin.
So why did it turn out that way in the previous simulation, what exactly happened?
[After she left, you felt guilty, thinking you had misunderstood her all along.]
[You asked around for her whereabouts, but to your surprise, you learned of her death.]
[Shock filled your heart, how could a Grandmaster Level powerhouse like her die so easily!]
[You suspected that Wang Qingxuan was probably unable to complete a mission and was discreetly dealt with by the mysterious organization.]
[You began investigating the mysterious organization behind Wang Qingxuan, but came up empty-handed.]
[You gave up the investigation and instead started to enhance your own strength.]
[While running your business, you also bought a large number of Instance Dungeon Items that could enhance physical fitness.]
[At the same time, you never gave up searching for Cultivation Techniques.]
[Two years went by, you didn’t find the Cultivation Technique, but your Body Refinement Cultivation Level improved tremendously, reaching Great Perfection.]
[It suddenly occurred to you, your sister Su Nianan died in that year.]
[You went home once, and patiently told your sister not to enter any instance dungeons that year.]
[Although Su Nianan was puzzled, she obediently agreed.]
[Your sister was safe and sound that year.]
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon reading this, he had finally saved his sister.
But then, Su Xing’s face changed.
[The next year, your sister continued to take on instance dungeon missions, and she died.]
[You began investigating the cause of your sister’s death, but found nothing.]
[Unwilling to let it go, you used a wealth of resources and many methods in your investigation.]
[Eventually, you made some headway and someone told you, your sister died in an instance called Demon-Subduing Pass.]
[You inquired about the Demon-Subduing Pass instance, but you found out nothing.]
[Having no choice, you gave up and continued managing your business while striving to temper your body.]
[Three years went by, and your strength was still stuck at Body Refinement Great Perfection, making no progress.]
[It suddenly came to you, your good brother Yu Yan also died in that year.]
[Thus, you found Yu Yan and told him not to go down to the instance dungeons this year.]
[Yu Yan hesitated, but eventually nodded in agreement.]
[A month later, you received the terrible news, Yu Yan had died.]
[Something felt wrong to you, and you began looking into the cause of Yu Yan’s death.]
[True to your suspicions, you found out, Yu Yan also died in the Demon-Subduing Pass instance.]
[And it wasn’t just him, many of your classmates from those years also died in that instance.]
[Panic filled your heart, this Demon-Subduing Pass instance seemed like a meat grinder, constantly consuming the lives of those around you.]
