“What? I’ll be transmigrating in ten days?”
Zhao Hao’s mind suddenly went blank. It was as if tens of thousands of horses were galloping past his mind in an instant. He had never thought that he would finally chance upon a way to transmigrate that he had been waiting for so long.
A light screen suddenly lighted up in front of his eyes.
[Transmigration Countdown: 239:58:13]
[Do you wish to activate the Transmigration Simulator?]
“Whew…” Zhao Hao let out a deep breath and tried to get a hold of himself. As a geek who had only two hobbies—playing games and reading novels, Zhao Hao had fantasized about transmigration countless times day and night. Therefore, he quickly calmed down and began to think about what he should do.
“Transmigration Simulator? This thing is probably like a cheat code for me, I guess. Activate it.”
As Zhao Hao activated the simulator, the words on the light screen slowly changed.
[Ding Dong. The Transmigration Simulator has been activated.]
[As it is detected that the Host is about to transmigrate into the fantasy world, the System has received several Cultivation Talents by default.]
[Currently available Cultivation Talents: “Intellectual Giftedness”, “Inborn Disability”, “Devil Fetus”, “Son of a Butcher” …]
[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]
Zhao Hao looked through the ten talents that appeared in a random sequence and decisively selected three of them.
[Devil Fetus (Gold Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 50. Your defense power increases by 20%. Your aptitude for practicing fist, leg, foot, and palm skills increases by 50. Your speed of practicing Evil Cultivation Methods doubles.]
[Son of a Butcher (Blue Talent): Your physical qualities increase by 10. Strength increases by 10. Your intelligence decreases by 20. Your aptitude for practicing Cultivation with Killing Intent slightly increases.]
[Intellectual Giftedness (Blue Talent): Your intelligence increases by 30. You’re full of creative talents and extremely eloquent.]
[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]
[On the first day, you transmigrated to a small village at the foot of the Tianwu Mountain. You were determined to become a Great Cultivator and live forever. You walked out of the village that day and headed to the mountain.]
[On the second day, you rushed through the mountain but did not find any food along the way. Your hunger and thirst were unbearable. That night, you had no choice but to sleep in a ruined temple. Unexpectedly, there were demons in the temple, but you did not have any strength to fight back, so you died.]
[Ding! This Cultivation Simulation is over. Each day, you get to permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]
[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: Two days. System Cooldown Time: Two minutes.]
Zhao Hao looked at the simulation outcome on the light screen in front of him, and he got chills throughout his body. He suddenly realized that the cultivation world was very difficult to live in. Far from the harmonious society that we live in today, danger was everywhere in that world.
The Cultivation Talents that he had chosen earlier were the best three out of the ten, so he had never expected that he would only survive for two days in the cultivation world.
“If I transmigrated to the real cultivation world instead, wouldn’t I have died right away…?” he thought to himself.
However, he was tempted again as soon as he saw that he could permanently retain a Cultivation Talent each day and extract it into the real world. He quickly asked the System, “System, how does the extraction of the cultivation talent work?”
[Ding Dong. Host, please note that you can extract a Cultivation Talent that you need and transfer it to your body in the real world after each Cultivation Simulation.]
[This talent can be brought into the next Cultivation Simulation without occupying a slot on the Cultivation Talent Pane.]
[Please note that you can enter countless simulations every day, but you can only extract one Cultivation Talent.]
[After the Host transmigrates successfully, the System will automatically level up, and you will no longer be able to extract any Cultivation Talent.]
Zhao Hao quickly got up from his bed and paced back and forth in his room. According to the system notification, he still had ten days to prepare for his transmigration into the fantasy world, and he would transmigrate with ten Cultivation Talents.
At the thought of this, Zhao Hao began to tremble with excitement. After the simulation, he had lost hope for his future fate in the fantasy world since it was so dangerous out there. But now, he saw a glimpse of hope for survival.
“So, this means that I’ll be able to transmigrate into the fantasy world with ten Cultivation Talents. Although I won’t have any Cultivation Base in the beginning, I should be able to grow very quickly with these ten talents.”
Suddenly, Zhao Hao thought of a crucial point. He now had a Gold Talent, but what if a higher-level Cultivation Talent appeared in the simulator after he had extracted it? So, he hurriedly asked the System, “System, can an extracted Cultivation Talent be changed to another talent?”
[Ding. Host, please note that the Cultivation Talent selected for extraction may be changed countless times within a day. If you do not extract any Cultivation Talent one day, the chance will be wasted for that day.]
“What time is considered the end of the day?”
[Host, please note that you should always refer to the countdown time. One day ends when 24 hours have passed.]
Zhao Hao looked at the countdown panel next to the light screen.
[Transmigration Countdown: 239:35:23]
There were still over 23 hours left until the next reset of the Cultivation Talents.
Then, Zhao Hao calculated silently based on the information provided by the System.
“What I should do is to make use of the Cultivation Simulator as many times as necessary to identify the best Cultivation Talents, and I also need to select some talents that will allow me to die easily. This way, I will be able to obtain a Cultivation Talent as fast as possible. Otherwise, if I successfully cultivated for a few decades, I’d lose these golden opportunities to obtain the Cultivation Talents.”
Having understood this, Zhao Hao stood still on the spot until he thought things through. Then, he said to the System, “I’ll keep the Gold Cultivation Talent ‘Devil Fetus’ for now.”
Retaining the best Cultivation Talent so far would not be a bad move, after all.
[Ding! The Cultivation Talent has been extracted.]
Zhao Hao was a little puzzled, as he did not feel any changes in his body.
“That’s it?”
As soon as he said that, Zhao Hao’s expression suddenly changed. He began to tremble wildly, and several muscles instantly emerged on his body.
His body went from 1.8 meters to 2.2 meters at once. Little did he notice that he began to emanate various evil auras from his head to toe.
His heart kept beating faster and faster. He could hear the sound of his heartbeat very clearly.
“F*ck, it’s too painful…”
Although Zhao Hao could feel that his entire body was filled with strength, such bone-piercing pain was too much for him to bear.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a few minutes before his body completely adapted to this Cultivation Talent.
“Not bad, not bad. Although this evil aura is a little annoying, I’m way stronger than before.”
Zhao Hao clenched his fist and punched the floor at his feet.
“Boom…”
There was a loud bang. His fist pierced through the hard floor and went right into the ground. There were no injuries on it at all when he pulled it out.
“Thank God I live in a single-story house. If I lived upstairs, I would’ve frightened the people downstairs to death…” Zhao Hao looked at his fist and said with satisfaction.
