Chapter 1 – I am still in the Simulator listening to music at the Pleasure House
Great Abyssal Kingdom.
Green Hills City, Jiang Family Mansion.
"Ding, Life Simulator binding in progress..."
Jiang Yifeng, who was lying in the arms of a maid enjoying a massage, suddenly heard an electronic voice in his mind.
"WHAT?"
Jiang Yifeng was shocked, waving the maid away.
At the same time, lines of text appeared in his mind.
[Life Simulator lv1]
[Host: Jiang Yifeng]
[Age: 20]
[Simulation Attempts: 3]
[Energy Value: 0]
(Note: Everything has energy. The host can convert items into energy value upon contact; silently reciting in your mind will show the energy value of all items.)
[Function 1: You can simulate life once a week, with attempts that can be stored up to a maximum of 3.]
[Function 2: After each simulation, you can spend energy value to exchange for part of the rewards.]
[Tip: As this is the host's first time obtaining the simulator, 3 simulation attempts are gifted!]
[Do you want to start the simulation?]
[Yes] [No]
Looking at the system panel in his mind, Jiang Yifeng excitedly exclaimed.
"Five years! Golden Finger, you finally arrived!
Do you know how I've lived these years?
Every day I could only listen to music and drink, wasting my life in luxury!
I, a model youth of the 21st century, have been living such a decadent life. Do you know how painful it is?"
That's right, Jiang Yifeng is a transmigrator.
Five years ago, he inexplicably transmigrated from Earth to this different world, becoming the young master of the Jiang Clan Firm in the Great Abyssal Kingdom.
The Jiang Clan Firm is a renowned large firm in the Great Abyssal Kingdom, with endless wealth.
After transmigrating into this young master’s body, Jiang Yifeng began a life of drunken revelry, becoming the number one playboy in Green Hills City.
Jiang Yifeng didn't want this either; he wanted to strive for something, but he was good at nothing.
The most crucial thing was that the beauties and fine wines were just too hard to resist!
From the original host's memories, Jiang Yifeng learned that this world was similar to ancient times in his previous life.
There were several dynasties, and everyone was ruled by these dynasties.
There were also some martial artists who knew martial arts.
But most of these martial artists' skills were just flashy moves; practicing them only made one slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Because of this, Jiang Yifeng thought that being a playboy and living a life of luxury was not bad.
After all, with the scale and power of the Jiang Clan Firm, it was enough to protect him for a lifetime of debauchery.
But now, the Golden Finger had arrived.
Jiang Yifeng felt that he could experience different lives through the simulation.
Without hesitation, he silently recited.
"Start simulation!"
[Consuming 1 simulation attempt, remaining attempts 2]
[Detected that the host has no energy value, randomly drawing from free white talents.]
Jiang Yifeng exclaimed, "I was careless," having forgotten to exchange for energy value.
But it was too late now, so Jiang Yifeng could only comfort himself.
"Forget it, remember to exchange next time. Let's continue watching!"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the white talent: Three-Minute Enthusiasm.]
[Three-Minute Enthusiasm]: You have three minutes each day of being particularly enthusiastic and firm.
"What the hell?"
Jiang Yifeng looked at this talent, feeling something was off.
"Only three minutes of firmness each day? Who are you looking down on?"
After complaining a bit, Jiang Yifeng continued to look at the simulator.
***
[First Simulation Start]
[Jiang Family Mansion, after obtaining the Golden Finger, you decided to turn over a new leaf and shed the title of playboy.]
[That day, you visited the most famous martial arts school in Green Hills City, the Wu Family Martial Arts School, expressing your desire to learn martial arts.]
[Although you thought the martial arts in this world were not advanced, you now had the Golden Finger and might create miracles.]
[Wu Youdao, the head of the Wu Family Martial Arts School, thought you couldn't endure the hardships of martial arts, but under your financial persuasion, he accepted you as a disciple.]
[In the morning, you did martial-art squats for an hour.]
[In the afternoon, you did martial-art squats for half an hour.]
[In the evening, after a day of hard work, you felt it was time to relax, so you invited some rascally friends to the Spring Blossom Pavilion to listen to music.]
[That night, you fought for three minutes before surrendering.]
[It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that you recovered, staggering out of the Spring Blossom Pavilion.]
[You felt you overexerted yourself last night and decided to rest at home, planning to train harder the next day.]
***
In reality, Jiang Yifeng's face turned black.
"Damn it, fought for three minutes and surrendered.
And then rested until the afternoon of the next day, overexerted?
This damn thing, you call it a talent?"
***
[On the third day, your friend Liang Zhilei invited you to drink and compose poetry. You refused, but he said Qiu Zhixuan, the top courtesan of the Spring Blossom Pavilion, would be there; you replied that training could wait until tomorrow.]
[Another day of drunken revelry, and that night you fought for three minutes again.]
[On the fourth day, you listened to music at the pleasure house, firm for three minutes that night.]
[On the fifth day, drinking and having fun...]
[A year passed, you practiced martial arts for an hour and a half, listened to music at the pleasure house for 364 days, and stayed firm for three minutes every night.]
***
Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng's face twisted in pain, tears welling up in his heart.
"Am I really this kind of person?
Only three minutes every time? And every day?
How could I be like this? There must be a mistake.
Can't I work hard to practice martial arts, strengthen myself, and experience the world of martial artists? That would be pretty good too!
Show some backbone!"
Jiang Yifeng shouted in his heart, looking at the simulation panel again.
***
[On a certain day in the second year, you felt you shouldn't continue to be so decadent, starting to refuse your rascally friends' invitations to the pleasure house, and worked hard to practice martial arts.]
[On the first day, you practiced martial arts for half a day, then collapsed from exhaustion.]
[On the second day, you practiced martial arts for 2 hours, then collapsed for the rest of the time.]
[On the third day, you practiced martial arts for 1 hour.]
[On the fourth day, unable to resist temptation, you went to the pleasure house to listen to music again.]
[Ten years passed without you realizing it.]
[You shouted slogans of hard work again and again, but the actual progress was almost zero.]
[During these ten years, under the efforts of your father Jiang Fushan, the Jiang Clan Firm grew bigger and bigger.]
[Now, the Jiang Clan Firm is the number one firm in the Great Abyssal Kingdom, and it's not an exaggeration to say it's as wealthy as a nation.]
[In the eleventh year, the Jiang Clan Firm received a big business deal, and your father Jiang Fushan went on a business trip to the neighboring Liang Kingdom.]
[In the twelfth year, you noticed that your father often seemed restless, as if he had something on his mind.]
[In the thirteenth year, you saw a shadowy figure arriving with the wind, standing in the void outside your mansion.]
[The shadowy figure said nothing, directly striking forward, a huge palm shadow descending.]
[Your mansion collapsed instantly, and you were crushed to death.]
[In an instant, you died at the age of 33!]
[This simulation ends.]
[You can choose one reward from this simulation: Three-Minute Enthusiasm (Talent), Martial Arts Experience (8.5 hours), Pleasure House Listening to Music (10 years of experience)]
[Three-Minute Enthusiasm (Talent)]: Price 100 energy value.
[Martial Arts Experience (8.5 hours)]: Price 0 energy value.
[Pleasure House Listening to Music (about 13 years of experience)]: Price 0 energy value.
Looking at the words on the simulator.
Jiang Yifeng's eyes widened, and he blurted out.
"W T F!"
Arriving with the wind, standing in the void? One palm destroyed the entire Jiang Family Mansion!
What was that?
A cultivator? Jiang Yifeng suddenly felt a bit scared!
Originally, he just planned to treat the simulator as a game, but he didn't expect such a huge change.
He had been in this world for over five years, always thinking it was just an ancient society with divided dynasties.
But thirteen years later, a cultivator appeared, and even targeted his family.
From the simulator's description, that shadowy figure's palm shadow crushed the entire Jiang Family Mansion.
If this happened in reality, wouldn't the Jiang Family be doomed?
At this moment, he was immensely grateful for obtaining the simulator, knowing what would happen thirteen years later.
This way, he still had a chance to change everything.
