Chapter 14: 014 Seven Simulations

Translator: 549690339

“At twenty-two, you became a seventh grade Martial Artist and left Liu Family Village. In Wang Family Gully, you rescued Su Qingzhen from a mountain bandit. It was then that members of the Liu family tracked you down in Wang Family Gully. Not wishing to invite trouble, you departed on your own.”

“A month later, you arrived at the county seat, Elephant City in Xiang County. Within a few months, you began distinguishing yourself and won favour with the county governor who recommended you for a post as one of the city’s garrison commanders, responsible for ridding the city of thieves.”

“Over five years, you led your soldiers to wipe out all bandits within Xiang County. The county governor was promoted for this feat but did not take you along to the capital. Two months after the new governor took office, you were transferred and put in charge of guarding the granary.”

“You started to focus on refining your Martial Arts, but progress was slow. You felt like you had hit a bottleneck.”

“At thirty-five, a major flood hit Jiangzhou; after the disaster, the grains of the granaries which you were protecting disappeared without a trace. Seeing the situation was dire, you fought your way out of the county town and fell on the wrong side of the law.”

“You fled to Lian Mountain, leading a secluded life. However, you found your cultivation level couldn’t advance any further. One night, several years later, you were assaulted by a mysterious shadow and met an untimely death at the age of forty.”

A hint of worry flashed through Gu Yang’s eyes when he saw the result of this simulation.

The very thing he feared had happened – his aptitude was not strong, and he would inevitably hit a ceiling beyond which he couldn’t progress.

He hadn’t expected that day to come so soon.

He was only at grade seven now.

But of course, his quick encounter with the bottleneck was likely due to more than just his aptitude.

Gu Yang thought back to the simulation and remembered the shadow cast over his heart by the two sword strikes of that sixth-grade Martial Artist from the Liu family.

“Simulation ended. You may retain one of the following options.” “First, the martial arts realm you reached at the age of forty.”

“Second, the martial arts experience you gained by the age of forty.”

“Third, the wisdom you accumulated throughout your life by the time you were forty.”

He directly chose the first option.

A quantity of experience can provoke a qualitative change; he was sure that accumulating the experience from his repeated simulations would eventually lead him to break through to grade six.

Immediately, Gu Yang felt the True Qi within his body rapidly increasing, nearly doubling.

This was the accumulation of almost twenty years in this show, ‘Simulated

Life.’

“It seems joining the army is not a solution either.”

Gu Yang summarized the experience from this simulated life, and thought he had offended too many people and infringed upon too many people’s interests, which led to his downfall in the end.

Even the governor, who had once appreciated him, abandoned him.

Achieving something in this world is really hard.

In the final analysis, it was because his social status was too low and he didn’t have any backing.

With this realization, Gu Yang made a decision and began another round of simulation.

“…You arrived at Jiangzhou City and asked around for news of well-known martial arts masters; you soon identified a target and decided to ask the knife master, Shi Mingchuan, to be your teacher.”

“After half a year, Shi Mingchuan was moved by your sincerity and agreed to meet with you. He told you, however, that your aptitude was too mediocre to be his disciple and advised you not to squander your efforts; he recommended you join the Lin Family instead.”

“After much hesitation, you decided to heed Shi Mingchuan’s advice and with his recommendation, you joined the Lin Family as a guard.”

“For over ten years, despite rigorous training, you were unable to break through the bottleneck.”

“At the age of thirty-six, after the flood, chaos broke out all over Jiangzhou. Rioters broke into the city and amidst the melee, you were killed. You died at the age of thirty-six.”

This time, after practicing for over ten years, he still couldn’t break through the bottleneck.”

Gu Yang still chose the martial arts realm and his cultivation level was enhanced slightly. However, this increment was much less than last time.”

“Once more.”
