[Age 29] You integrated all the forces in the county town. Under your management, the lives of the common people in the county town also improved somewhat.
After that, you sought out more Advanced martial arts during the chaotic times.
[Age 30] You did not find a higher level Cultivation Technique, but you Cultivated your Lightness Skill, Hard Qi Skill, and several other External Skills to Perfection, making your strength greater.
[Age 31] You finally found an Internal Skill capable of opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, but it could only open four of them; there was no method to open the Chong, Dai, Ren, and Du Meridians.
Even so, this Internal Skill was extremely precious.
[Age 32] You discovered that opening the Eight Meridians was much more difficult than opening the Twelve Primary Meridians.
It took you two years to open one, and it would only get harder afterward.
[Age 33] The Imperial Court failed to suppress the military rebellion in the south.
The Imperial Court's prestige plummeted, and thousands of rebellious forces of varying sizes suddenly appeared within the Dynasty's territory.
The county town where you resided was invaded several times, but you managed to fend them all off.
[Age 34] You opened one meridian, and you realized that the resources of the county town were no longer sufficient for your Cultivation.
You began searching outward for resources intermittently.
[Age 36] You opened the second meridian.
In these two years, you traveled through large and small county towns nearby and found that the situation had completely deteriorated.
Grain prices had multiplied in many places, and the common people were on the verge of starvation.
The surrounding mountain bandits also increased.
Only the county town where you resided remained a relatively peaceful Sanctuary under your governance.
[Age 40] The capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty was breached, and the Emperor's fate was unknown. The world entered an era of warlords vying for power.
In this same year, you opened the fourth meridian, and the Internal Skill you Cultivated reached its limit. To open the remaining four Meridians, you would require a more Advanced Cultivation Technique.
However, by this point, you no longer had the passion for martial arts, so you stopped pursuing more Advanced Cultivation Techniques and decided to remain in the county town permanently.
Although your strength did not reach the world's Peak, protecting a small county town that was not a strategic necessity was still possible.
[Age 43] You integrated the many External Skills you had learned and created the Horizontal Training Cultivation Technique, Iron Body Skill.
Due to the Iron Body Skill and your own natural Talent, even though you only opened four Meridians, your strength reached the top rank among First-Rate Experts.
Over these years, more forces of varying sizes attempted to incorporate the county town into their Domain, but you repelled them all.
During this time, some people tried to recruit you with superior martial arts, but you refused them as well.
[Age 44] You simplified the Iron Body Skill and passed it on to your Gang subordinates.
With the help of the Cultivation Technique, the strength of your Gang greatly increased.
[Age 45] You were still robust and healthy, and every three days, you reliably went to the Spring Breeze Brothel for a good time.
[Age 50] Your physical functions were still at their Peak state, and the Spring Breeze Brothel was still in existence.
[Age 60] After prolonged warfare across the land, only two powers remained.
One occupied the south, and one occupied the north. Both established nations and ascended the throne as Emperors: one was called the State of Rong, and the other, the State of Chu. Your county town was located within the territory of the State of Chu.
[Age 61] The State of Chu sent someone to assume the position of County Magistrate.
As soon as the County Magistrate took office, he came to visit you. At your request, the county town continued to operate as before.
A portion of your subordinates also joined the County Office as Constables to maintain law and order within the county town.
[Age 70] Your physical functions declined significantly. You knew this was because your regular martial practice had consumed your body's potential; normally unnoticeable, your physique would rapidly deteriorate when nearing your lifespan limit.
[Age 75] You died peacefully of old age. Although you had no wife or children in your lifetime, the people of the county town would forever remember your kindness.
After your death, the populace spontaneously erected a temple to worship you. You were referred to by the people as Lord Lin Hui.
[Simulation Ends]
[Evaluation] Although you did not accomplish anything world-changing in your life, you protected the peace of one area through your own efforts and were even worshipped after death.
You obtained a Life Score: 130
You can use this score to purchase the following items:
1. Strength from the Peak period during the simulation. (120)
2. Martial Dao Knowledge obtained during the simulation. (50)
3. 100 taels of gold. (10)
...6. Insights on Bedroom Arts. (10)
..."I truly didn't expect the simulator's attribute entries to be worth so much!"
Lin Yu hadn't expected the white attribute entry in the simulator to raise his Martial Dao Cultivation in the foreign world so significantly.
If I get a green attribute entry next time, wouldn't I just clear the world immediately!
After exploring the thought, Lin Yu began looking at the options and realized that after purchasing strength, he could at most buy one more item.
He was very conflicted, unsure whether to choose the gold or the Insights on Bedroom Arts.
If it were gold, converting it would be a hassle.
However, as a piece of information arrived, he decisively chose the gold.
This was because the simulator informed him that selecting currency from the foreign world would be directly converted into the Main World's currency at an equivalent value.
100 taels of gold, converted to the gold price of this world, was approximately 4 million Dawn Coins.
The purchasing power of the Dawn Coin in this world was similar to the Renminbi of his previous life.
As Lin Yu finished his selection, a ray of light enveloped him, and he felt a surge of heat erupting within his body.
After a moment, the white light vanished. Lin Yu sensed the changes in his body and found that although his body was several times stronger than after the Fusion with his counterpart, it lacked the transcendental energy known as Internal Energy.
"What's going on?"
Lin Yu quickly questioned the simulator in his mind.
[Because most Cultivation systems are not universally applicable across all worlds. For example, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in the simulation world are a special transcendental organ that requires Cultivation to open.]
[While the host and humans of the Main World also have Meridians, they are naturally open and are not considered transcendental organs.]
[The simulator selectively strengthens the host's abilities based on the conditions of the simulation world.]
Listening to the simulator's explanation, Lin Yu stopped worrying about the lack of Internal Energy.
Afterward, he carefully tested his strength and found that his skin had reached the point of being Impervious to Blades and Spears.
Furthermore, his strength, speed, and nervous reactions all reached a level far surpassing ordinary people.
His lethality might be inferior to his Alternate Self who possessed Internal Energy, but due to the overall enhancement, his sustained combat power was stronger than his Alternate Self.
He then picked up his phone and found that there was indeed a text message.
"Your account ending in 3232 completed a payment transaction on October 23rd at 7:03 AM: Dawn Coin +4,000,000.00 yuan. Balance: 4,023,058.30 yuan."
"It really arrived. But won't this money be traced as having an unknown source?"
[No]
Lin Yu was relieved.
However, he also knew that if he wanted to rely on this money to improve his life, he first had to eliminate the murderer who killed the original body.
"Wait, if I simulate this world again next time, will my simulated self have the memories from this simulation?"
[Yes, but things like martial arts knowledge will be blurred.]
"I see! Then the optimal way to play the simulator is to focus on conquering one world first, making it easier to meet the requirements for clearing it."
Next, Lin Yu stayed in the room, familiarizing himself with his own strength. Fortunately, the enhancement was comprehensive, allowing him to easily control his power.
As time gradually passed, the second day quickly arrived.
"Start simulation."
[Does the host wish to continue simulating the previous world or simulate a new world?]
"Continue simulating the previous world."
[Drawing attribute entries. host, please select one from the following three entries.]
Business Genius (Green): You possess a unique ability to earn massive profits at a very small cost.
World-Shaking Wisdom (White): Your wisdom may not necessarily be powerful, but it is definitely world-shaking.
Peerless Talent (Green): You are a rare Peerless Genius seen once every hundred years. You can reach heights unattainable by ordinary people in any Domain.
Looking at the three attribute entries before him, Lin Yu immediately disregarded World-Shaking Wisdom. It wasn't that he underestimated the white entry, but the term "world-shaking" in the description gave him an ominous premonition.
He then decisively chose Peerless Talent, because according to the introduction, Peerless Talent also possessed some of the abilities of Business Genius, and since the simulation world was a Wuxia world, Business Genius couldn't be fully utilized.
[host selection complete. Simulation starting.]
