5 – Envy from Group Members
by spirapiraAt this moment, Wang Ping also spoke.
Wang Ping (66): “I drew a pretty good Golden Finger, luckily I drew a good one, or I might have died instantly…Tom shivering.Jpg…”
Cai Yonglong (1): “What’s going on, what did you encounter?”
Wang Ping (66): “It’s not what I encountered, it’s what I know is going to happen.”
As soon as these words left Wang Ping’s mouth, the group chat exploded.
Fang Yun (3): “Damn, don’t tell me you got a future-seeing cheat Golden Finger, so envious…jealous.Jpg.”
Liu Mei (15): “Hearing what the newbie said, it’s highly likely. Also envious…Jpg.”
Zhang Hu (5): “Seeing the future, out of all the Golden Fingers we’ve seen so far, it must be in the top three. The newbie has some good luck, this survival ability is maxed out.”
Wu Jun (20): “So sour! I’m so sour! Why is my luck so bad! Woo woo woo, so mad!”
Cai Yonglong (1): “Seeing the future, not bad at all. The newbie has potential. By the way, what future did you see?”
Seeing everyone assuming his Golden Finger was to see the future, Wang Ping was momentarily stunned.
He instinctively wanted to explain that his Golden Finger wasn’t to see the future, but was the more abnormal Life Simulator.
However, Wang Ping quickly calmed down. Although he was a homebody, he had a few years of social experience and had read many novels. He knew the importance of protecting oneself.
So, he didn’t explain.
Wang Ping: “Here’s what happened…”
Wang Ping briefly explained the content of the simulator.
Wu Jun (20): “Uh, the village head seemed nice at first, why did he suddenly kill people?”
Liu Mei (15): “I understand now.”
Zhang Hu (5): “Tsk tsk tsk, the newbie is really lucky. Without awakening the future-seeing ability, he might really be dead. This is a classic mistake for someone who has transmigrated.”
Fang Yun (3): “Exactly. Different worldviews can be fatal.”
Wang Ping (66): “So, what’s the real reason…”
Wang Ping’s mouth twitched.
This group, each one more cryptic than the last, wouldn’t explain the real reason, leaving him helpless.
Cai Yonglong (1): “You all enjoy bullying the newbie, don’t you?”
At this point, Cai Yonglong spoke again, touching Wang Ping.
Then, in the next second, his expression froze.
Cai Yonglong (1): “To be honest, it is fun bullying a newbie. Count me in… humorous.jpg.”
Wang Ping (66): “…”
Wu Jun (20): “I think you guys should stop being cryptic, or else the newbie’s mindset might collapse. To be honest, I’m also very curious… o( ̄︶ ̄)o.”
Liu Mei (15): “It’s simple. You think modern snacks are delicious delicacies, but in reality, they’re not. Modern snacks are full of additives and preservatives, and even the ingredients are treated with pesticides. There was an online joke once. A naive transmigrator thought giving instant noodles to the emperor would make him adore them, but was executed for poisoning when pouring the seasoning packet.”
Fang Yun (3): “Liu Mei’s analogy is correct, but not entirely. Ordinary ancient people might not notice, but in a world with extraordinary powers, it’s easy to sense if what they’re eating is poisonous. Even powerful beings can judge without tasting.”
Zhang Hu (5): “The previous two explained it well. So now you know your mistake. Also, we can deduce that the world you’re in isn’t an ordinary one, but a world with extraordinary powers; that village head isn’t an ordinary person.”
Wang Ping: “…”
After reading the advice from the veteran transmigrators, Wang Ping was paralyzed.
Damn, danger really is everywhere, unavoidable.
A tiny mistake can lead to death.
Chocolate, seen as poison by people in other worlds, who could’ve thought of that?
Wang Ping (66): “So, what should I do now…”
Cai Yonglong (1): “What else, predict the future where you don’t take out snacks.”
Wang Ping (66): “My Golden Finger can only be used once a day…it refreshes at midnight.”
Cai Yonglong (1): “Uh, once a day? Well, it looks like your Golden Finger isn’t as powerful as I thought. But even so, it’s stronger than many others.”
Liu Mei (15): “If you’re brave, you can go for it. But I recommend being cautious and waiting until the count refreshes at midnight.”
Zhang Hu (5): “Liu Mei is right. Normally, you must take risks, but with a future-seeing Golden Finger, there’s no need to rush.”
Fang Yun (3): “By the way, have you considered the possibility of nocturnal creatures attacking you in the forest? Even near the village, it’s not safe.”
Wu Jun (20): “I remember the newbie No. 36 faced something similar. Hesitated to enter the tribe ahead, got bitten by a venomous insect, and died.”
Cai Yonglong (1): “Little Wu is right. Staying outside isn’t safe either. No. 36 died pitifully. His Golden Finger was the strongest we’ve seen, could become invincible with murder, but he died regrettably.”
Fang Yun (3): “That’s why transmigration is so dangerous. Even with a strong Golden Finger, without luck, you’re doomed.”
Wu Jun (20): “Stop it, you guys. If you keep going, you’ll really crush the newbie’s mentality.”
Wang Ping (66): “…”
Wang Ping was really paralyzed.
Damn, he originally planned to wait for the simulation to refresh before going in, thinking it would be safer.
But now, it doesn’t seem so.
Danger is everywhere… one tiny mistake and you’re dead.
In an instant, the glee of acquiring a powerful Life Simulator vanished.
In the novels he read, protagonists with simulator systems easily survived and quickly rose to power, dominating the world.
He also thought his future was bright, despite the initial death, he still had wild fantasies.
Now it seems, even with a powerful Golden Finger, arrogance has no place. Carefulness in every detail is paramount.
Zhang Hu (5): “The newbie isn’t responding, seems like his mentality really collapsed.”
Liu Mei (15): “You guys are always bullying newbies. We’re all the same, we should help each other. Wang Ping, based on your description, the villagers seemed nice. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let you in. So, you might as well go to the village. Of course, that’s my personal judgment. Ultimately, it’s your decision.”
“I’m innocent… I’m a really good person,” said Wu Jun (20).
“I’m also a good person. Pure and innocent look.jpg,” replied Zhang Hu (5).
