Chapter 4 – Cultivation Advances, Grand Perfection of Body Tempering!

Seeing this, Su Xing’s expression changed completely. What kind of place was this Demon-Sealing Pass dungeon?

How could so many Class Users have died within it?

Moreover, these Class Users all seemed to have compelling reasons to go — they had no choice but to enter the Demon-Sealing Pass dungeon!

Su Xing continued the simulation.

【You did not give up your investigation, running your business while diligently cultivating.】

【A year passed. Your business had captured half of Capital City’s low-rank Class User market, but your cultivation remained stuck at Grand Perfection of Body Tempering.】

【This year, relying on your foreknowledge, you rapidly sold off large quantities of low-rank equipment and pivoted to purchasing recovery potions.】

【As the market fluctuated, you raked in enormous profits.】

【You became a commercial tycoon in Capital City’s low-rank Class User market.】

【But you never let your guard down, because you knew that in four years, a catastrophe would sweep across the entire continent.】

【You began laying the groundwork for this disaster, attempting to use your wealth and influence to deliver the warning to key individuals.】

【You failed. No one believed your message.】

【Left with no other choice, you could only focus on preserving yourself.】

【You began dumping your domestic assets en masse and purchasing properties overseas.】

【Three years later, you took your parents and hundreds of billions in funds and emigrated to America.】

【America was also a powerful nation, with countless high-level Class Users, located across the ocean tens of thousands of miles away.】

【The professions here were very different from those in your former country, featuring distinctive classes such as vampires, werewolves, and western cowboys.】

【Another year passed, and the year of the giant beast’s assault finally arrived.】

【Your heart was filled with anxiety, hoping you could survive the beast’s attack by hiding in America.】

【That day, a demon that blotted out the sky appeared above America.】

A demon?!

Su Xing was stunned. Could it be that there was more than one monster attacking the real world?

【Countless Class Users soared into the sky, hoping to defeat this demon, but they were merely throwing their lives away.】

【Civilians and Class Users on the streets fled in a mad panic, while some took advantage of the chaos to loot.】

【You let out a sigh, knowing death was certain. Before dying, you took one long, deep drag on a cigarette.】

【The demon unleashed an endless curse, and every human in America perished.】

【You died at the age of thirty-six!】

【This simulation has ended!】

【You may select one of the following rewards: business elite (talent), Grand Perfection of Body Tempering (cultivation)】

【business elite (white talent)】: Costs 1000 energy points.

【Grand Perfection of Body Tempering (cultivation)】: Costs 500 energy points.

Su Xing studied the two rewards before him for a moment, then silently declared:

“I choose cultivation!”

【Ding! You have chosen to bring back Grand Perfection of Body Tempering (cultivation) from the simulation. 500 energy points consumed, remaining energy: 482 points.】

Boom!

At that instant, Su Xing’s physical strength began surging violently.

In mere seconds, he shot up from the sixth layer of Body Tempering to the seventh.

Then the eighth layer… the ninth layer… Grand Perfection of Body Tempering!

Su Xing carefully felt the power coursing through his body. His strength now surely far exceeded ten thousand catties!

His power was several times greater than before!

“Hiss… my current strength should be comparable to a Silver rank Class User who just advanced, right?”

Su Xing was glad he hadn’t chosen the wrong reward.

The business elite talent could bring him great wealth in the simulator, but it offered no immediate help for his real-world self.

Grand Perfection of Body Tempering, on the other hand, was tangible, real power. With this surge in cultivation, his efficiency in leading teams through dungeons for leveling and gold-farming would improve dramatically.

That meant he could acquire more equipment, convert it into energy, and run better simulations.

Even as his strength grew, Su Xing’s mind was also churning through countermeasures.

“Is there really no way to avoid the catastrophe fifteen years from now?”

Su Xing shook his head lightly. In the simulation, he had been a billionaire worth hundreds of billions.

Though still insignificant in the eyes of high-rank Class Users, he had at least commanded some influence.

Yet no one among humankind had believed his warning.

Was it truly disbelief?

A thought struck Su Xing, and he murmured:

“Could it be… that humanity’s leadership already knew about this, but simply couldn’t prevent it?”

“So they suppressed the information just to prevent mass panic among ordinary people?”

Su Xing drew a deep breath. He was fairly confident that this was likely the truth.

As for whether it truly was, that would require further investigation.

After the simulation ended, Su Xing took a look at his Class User panel.

The Class User panel was an ability every Class User possessed — it allowed one to view their own attributes.

【Name: Su Xing】

【Class: immortal cultivator (unique hidden class)】

【Cultivation: Qi Refinement Layer 1, Grand Perfection of Body Tempering】

【Techniques: None】

【Talent: spirit root bearer】

【Skills: None】

【Equipment: Jade Blood Longsword (Green), spiked chain mail (Green), Azure Cloud Boots (Green)】

Due to his unique class, Su Xing’s Class User panel differed from that of ordinary Class Users.

For instance, other Class Users’ “cultivation” field displayed their level.

Such as Bronze rank Level 30, Silver rank Level 15, and so on…

But Su Xing’s displayed cultivation instead, split into two paths: Qi Refinement and Body Tempering.

This allowed Su Xing to enjoy the bonuses of both, effectively making him a dual-class Class User with strength far surpassing ordinary ones.

Additionally, Su Xing’s panel had an extra “Techniques” field that ordinary Class Users lacked.

The only downside was that Su Xing couldn’t learn ordinary skills — he appeared limited to skills related to immortal cultivation.

This meant Su Xing had yet to master a single skill.

Fortunately, Su Xing could still equip all kinds of equipment.

Class User equipment, ranked from lowest to highest, was classified as:

White Common, Green Superior, Blue Refined, Orange Rare, Red Precious, Purple Epic, Gold Legendary, Dark Gold Immortal, Prismatic Mythic, Black Supreme…

Su Xing’s three regular pieces of equipment were all Green Superior quality — not only more durable, but capable of instantly killing ordinary Bronze rank monsters.

“Tch tch, Grand Perfection of Body Tempering — my strength and physical defense are at least several times greater than before!!”

Even before, Su Xing’s physique had been remarkably powerful, over a dozen times stronger than an ordinary person — a genuine superhuman.

Now, with his Body Tempering cultivation having broken through to Grand Perfection, he was roughly several dozen times stronger than an ordinary person!

He was probably even stronger than the average Silver rank Class User.

“But it’s still far from enough… I need to keep improving my strength if I want any hope of facing the catastrophe fifteen years from now!”

Su Xing murmured.

Over the following week, Su Xing continued his frenzied gold-farming.

Thanks to his increased strength, his earnings were significantly higher than before — over four hundred thousand in a single week.

Su Xing set aside roughly one million as operating capital, then spent the remaining four hundred thousand or so entirely on white-grade equipment.

It wasn’t that Su Xing hadn’t tried buying other equipment or items to convert into energy.

But after testing, neither green nor blue equipment offered anywhere near the energy-conversion value of white equipment.

A single piece of green equipment cost dozens of times more than white equipment, yet contained only about ten times the energy.

The cost-efficiency was terrible!

As for other items like healing potions, skill scrolls, and the like — same story. Far too expensive!

Su Xing couldn’t afford them yet…

So after comparing his options, Su Xing resolutely committed to the white-grade equipment grind.

That week yielded a full 1600 energy points.

Su Xing’s total energy had now reached 2082 points!

The moment the Life Simulator refreshed, Su Xing couldn’t wait to begin.

“Start simulation!”

【300 energy points consumed, remaining energy: 1782 points, remaining simulations: unlimited.】

【Simulation begins!】

【Drawing a white talent costs 100 energy points; a green talent costs 1000 energy points. Would you like to draw?】

“Draw white talent!”

Su Xing didn’t hesitate. Bringing back a white talent cost 1000 energy points, so the price for a green talent was surely even higher.

With his current funds, he could only afford to draw white talents.

【Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the white talent: Die With Eyes Open!】
