9. Settlement Rewards
『Simulated evaluation: You are a man who surpasses Otto. You truly understand selfishness to its core, and you can rival gods with your mediocre talents. The only flaw is that you can't withstand Elysia's verbal attacks.』
『Simulation Rating: Perfect-』
System: 『Eliminating the simulation impact, estimated time: 72 hours.』
Before Yun Ling could come to his senses, he fell into a deep sleep.
The system looked at the sleeping Yun Ling and couldn't help but complain, 『This is outrageous! This is truly outrageous! The first simulation was rated 'Perfect-', and it was such a near-catastrophic start... Tsk, this kid is so lucky! I feel like the authority of this system will be crushed to the ground from now on. What's going on?』
Although there has never been such a thing as majesty in the first place.
『Oh, work, work!』
The system stretched with its non-existent body and began to devote itself to its work.
Meanwhile, Elysian Realm.
"Abnormal data detected!" A mechanical voice sounded.
Klein raised her eyes, monitoring the emergence of "abnormal data" with confusion.
Elysian Realm has been operating for 50,000 years, and this is the first time this has happened.
However, no matter how hard Klein investigated, she could not find the location of the "abnormal data".
Somewhere in the Elysian Realm, a girl as beautiful as a flying flower suddenly woke up.
"Am I... dreaming? Such a real dream. Is it possible to dream in the Elysian Realm?"
Elysia was a little distressed.
Mobius couldn't help but sneer at Elysia's question: "Dream? Elysia, have you forgotten that you're just a memory?"
However, she still reluctantly checked Elysia's body and found nothing unusual.
"Could it be that that is really just Miss Pink Fairy's fantasy?" Elysia blinked her beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, she whispered to Mobius, "Mobius, do you know someone named Ling?"
Mobius waved her hand. "No impression. Okay, if you have nothing else to do, please don't bother me while I'm doing my experiment."
Elysia, who was kicked out of the laboratory by Mobius, was a little discouraged, so she confided her troubles to her good friend Eden.
"'Ling'? Sorry, Ely, I don't seem to remember this name."
Elysia asked all the heroes, but got no answer.
"Is this 'Ling' a very important person to Ely?" Eden looked at Elysia in surprise.
Elysia nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, he's very important to me!"
…
"Ling, I hate you! I hate you!! I hate you!!! Woohoo~!!"
Kiana suddenly woke up from her sleep, and the sheets were soaked with sweat.
She held her face with one hand and gasped for breath.
"Am I... having a nightmare? Such a long and very real dream. Ling... No, who is that man?"
Kiana frowned slightly. She found that she seemed to have never seen that man before. Why did she dream about him?
And in the dream, he seemed to have deceived herself and abandoned herself to revive a woman who had long been dead...
Unhappy, very unhappy!
Kiana couldn't help but clench her fists and punch the air twice.
But it must be just a dream.
The carefree Kiana quickly put the matter behind her and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.
…
"Oh my god, does simulation have any side effects?"
Yun Ling pinched his eyebrows, but he still felt dizzy.
The system thoughtfully explained, 『Actually, there weren't such significant side effects. It's just that you took a big leap. Simply put, you took the first step too far, and it messed up your balls.』
Yun Ling: "Tell me in detail."
System: 『Generally speaking, host, you will continuously strengthen your body through the simulator, and your mental strength will also slowly improve in the process.』
At this point, Yun Ling understood almost everything, so he took over the conversation, "But this simulation was too perfect, so I was overwhelmed, right? Even you didn't expect such a rubbish start to reach this level."
It lasted for more than 50,000 years. Even though it was just a simulation, it was a huge burden on Yun Ling's spirit.
The system spread its hands. It was comfortable to have a host with a high IQ. It didn't need to explain too much and could guess it by itself.
"But the better the simulation rating, the better the reward should be, right? Where is my reward?" Yun Ling asked.
System: 『Let me do some statistics.』
『Congratulations to the host for receiving a 'Perfect-' rating, 200,000 bonus points, and 4 chances to choose settlement rewards.』
『Please select four rewards from the following list.
1. Talent: Good Water Affinity, Lucky Guy, Old but Strong, choose one.
2. All authority over the Void Archives.
3. The water control power of the Vipralopa-class Honkai Beast "Leviathan" (considering that the host is currently unable to control it, 99% of the power is temporarily sealed).
4. Master-level acting skills.
5. Physical fitness is greatly improved, mental strength is greatly improved, and resistance to Honkai energy is greatly improved.
6. All the experience points for using the Divine Key. (Except Jizo Mitama)
7. Elysia's mysterious gift.』
Yun Ling only took a glance and immediately deduced, "It's obvious that you, a 13-year-old system, are hindering my growth."
System: 『What's wrong with me just blocking your growth progress?』
Yun Ling was stunned for a second, obviously a little confused by such a straightforward answer.
After thinking for a while, he silently raised his middle finger.
This middle finger implies resistance to power and dissatisfaction with the dark side.
The system replied calmly,『Please don't bark like a dog. This system is training you. If you don't have the corresponding character, even if you become stronger, you will end up like your countrymen.』
『This system advocates the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, and strives to create a good host who can serve as a successor to socialism. I advise you not to be rude and ungrateful.』
Yun Ling sneered at the system's PUA: "I can refuse it, but you can't refuse it!"
System:『...』
So an 8 option was added to the following options.
『8. The full strength of this simulation (PS: If you are not afraid of death, then choose it!)』
"I choose 3, 4, 5, 7."
Yun Ling still chose to follow his heart.
The start was a perfect simulation with great luck. If I had really chosen 8, I might have died suddenly.
The first thing to do to improve your strength is to choose the Vipralopa-class Honkai Beast "Leviathan", which is a Honkai Beast with potential comparable to "Brahma" and is another form of the "Chimera" plan.
The main asset that allowed him to fight against Kevin in the simulator was the fusion of the Vipralopa-class Honkai Beast "Leviathan" and the talent of "Old but Strong".
However, "Old but Strong" is really useless. After all, the current civilization's honkai energy is developing very quickly, and there is no time to wait for the opportunity to use this talent.
Then comes the fifth one, which is the improvement of physical fitness and other aspects, which is very necessary for the weak Yun Ling.
As for why I didn't choose all the permissions of Void Archives...
The Void Archives are now in Otto's hands, but not in his own. Could it be that he has to go to the Schicksal Headquarters to snatch them away?
And the master-level acting skills... Yun Ling felt that it was very necessary.
Finally, there's Elysia's mysterious gift. Are you still hesitant about this? Elymen!
