Chapter 1: Savior Simulator
Wang Ran sat in the back row, idly twirling his pen.
He couldn't understand any of the mathematical symbols on the blackboard, because his soul came from a parallel world where he had already graduated and worked for many years, long forgetting these advanced math formulas.
Suddenly, he saw several lines of fluorescent green text.
[Doomsday Countdown: 14 Days]
[Savior Simulator Activated]
[Begin First Simulation?]
Wang Ran was stunned for a moment. He silently shifted his gaze, and the text moved along with his line of sight, as if stuck to his retina.
Doomsday countdown - was this world going to end?
Wang Ran felt shocked, but as a transmigrator, he quickly accepted this fact and shifted his attention to the Savior Simulator.
After so many days of transmigration, his cheat ability had finally arrived.
He silently thought "Begin simulation."
[Simulation Start]
[Day 1: While cleaning the basement, there is suddenly a violent shaking. You hit your head on the wall and fall unconscious.]
Seeing this line of text, Wang Ran's first reaction was that an earthquake had occurred.
The simulator text continued scrolling.
[Day 2: You wake up from your coma under the care of campus beauty Lin Ying.]
The campus beauty is also in the basement? Wang Ran was somewhat surprised.
Lin Ying's family was a local powerhouse, with the women in her family being more beautiful than the last. Lin Ying had inherited their genes and could be called a heavenly beauty.
[You discover the only exit from the basement is blocked by rocks. There is no cell phone signal. You and Lin Ying try many methods but are unable to leave the basement.]
[Lin Ying is very frightened. You comfort her thoughtfully.]
Wang Ran's brows furrowed.
With the basement exit blocked by rocks, people inside had no way to escape and could only rely on external rescue.
But would there be any rescue during the apocalypse?
At this time, the simulator text continued scrolling.
[Day 3: You find an iron pipe connected to the outside in a damaged wall. You knock on the pipe, hoping to attract the attention of potential rescuers, but receive no response.]
As expected, there was no rescue during the apocalypse. Wang Ran's mood grew increasingly heavy.
[Under the influence of the suspension bridge effect, you and Lin Ying develop feelings for each other, cuddling together to share snacks, water, and stories.]
People in crisis situations often develop feelings for each other - this was a common psychological phenomenon. Wang Ran paid it no mind.
He had a premonition that this simulation would end soon.
Starting trapped in a basement, isolated and helpless, the outcome would be either starving or dying of thirst.
[Day 4: You both make your maximum efforts, but rescue still hasn't come. You and Lin Ying both feel extremely desperate.]
[You already sense the inevitable doom approaching.]
Before Wang Ran could react, in the next second, the plot took a huge turn!
[That night, under your active advances, you and Lin Ying engage in indescribable activities.]
The simulator text scrolled rapidly.
[Day 5: You did nothing else. Indescribable activities occurred all day long.]
Wang Ran: ??
He could hardly believe his eyes.
What kind of ridiculous plot development was this?
Developing feelings on day 3, engaging in activities on day 4, and then all day on day 5?!
"This simulator must be broken!" Wang Ran said with a dark expression.
In a life-or-death situation, how could he waste precious energy on such matters between men and women?
Did he not want to escape anymore?
Giving up in despair?
Indulging in a final frenzy before death?
Amidst Wang Ran's chaotic thoughts, this simulation came to an end.
[Day 6: While you are engaging in activities with Lin Ying, you suddenly hear movement outside the basement.]
[You call out loudly for help.]
[A dark shadow flashes by. You die.]
[Simulation End]
Dead!
Wang Ran's pupils constricted. He temporarily put aside other thoughts and focused all his attention on the last sentence.
A dark shadow flashed by...
I died...
Was I killed?
Wang Ran felt extremely surprised. At the same time, a waterfall of text fell before his eyes.
[Begin Calculation]
[You achieved the following accomplishments in this simulation:]
[Novice: Completed first simulation]
[Apocalyptic Revelry: Indulged desires in despair]
[I Died: First death]
[Survival time this simulation: 6 days]
[For each day survived or accomplishment achieved, reward 10 free attribute points and 1 talent draw chance]
[Congratulations! You obtained 90 free attribute points]
[Congratulations! You obtained 9 talent draw chances]
Wang Ran frowned deeply. He couldn't figure out what the dark shadow that killed him was. Surely it couldn't be someone from outside the basement stabbing him with a long spear or something?
What grudge or enmity could there be?
The information was too scarce.
Wang Ran suppressed his doubts and silently called up the attribute panel.
[Strength: 5]
[Constitution: 6]
[Agility: 5]
[Spirit: 10]
[Comprehension: 5]
[Free attribute points: 90]
The panel was very concise, without any explanations, but the functions of each attribute could be guessed from their names.
Wang Ran mused thoughtfully: "The attribute cap for adults should be 10 points. My spirit is 10 points - is it because I'm a transmigrator?"
He had a total of 90 attribute points. If distributed evenly, he could be transformed into a small superman twice the human limit in all aspects.
But average also meant mediocre.
After some contemplation, Wang Ran used 19 attribute points to raise all attributes to 10 points, then distributed the remaining 71 points to the basic three stats of strength, constitution and agility in a 2:1:1 ratio.
The extra 3 points were added to agility.
As a result, his strength, constitution and agility reached 44, 27 and 30 respectively.
Such a stat panel was enough to crush any human.
Wang Ran excitedly clenched his fist, but felt no difference.
He was a bit puzzled.
A line of fluorescent green small text floated up.
[Do you want to activate the talent "Spacetime Substitution"?]
Wang Ran tentatively thought "View talent."
Five translucent frames appeared before his eyes, one of which contained a dark gold pocket watch floating up and down.
Wang Ran focused his attention on the pocket watch.
["Spacetime Substitution I": Temporarily substitute the apocalypse panel, duration 3 seconds, cooldown time...]
