178 – Continuous Gold! Space Fleet!

“Right, this familiar finishing touch style… Could it be that she is one of the other transmigrator seniors…”

Wang Ping quickly thought of something, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

As Wang Ping was thinking about this, his vision changed, returning to the real world.

“Ding, rewards generated successfully. The host can choose one of the following rewards:
①. Golden Talent: Scarlet Flame Sacred Body.
②. First level of Void God Realm cultivation.”

“I need to choose a reward…”

Wang Ping looked at the reward list and sighed inwardly, feeling a bit conflicted.

He didn’t expect only two reward options this time.

If the Scarlet Flame Sacred Body didn’t have so many hidden dangers, he would definitely choose it.

But, the Scarlet Flame Sacred Body was already cursed by an anomaly and required a huge amount of cultivation resources. Choosing it would be extremely dangerous.

Given Wang Ping’s cautious style, he didn’t want to choose such a risky talent, as it would be too perilous.

“System, I choose ②. First level of Void God Realm cultivation.”

After thinking it over, Wang Ping painfully made his choice.

Although the Golden Talent: Scarlet Flame Sacred Body was very strong, he still preferred to play it safe.

Anyway, as long as he continued the simulation, he was bound to refresh other powerful talents sooner or later.

If he could refresh a talent stronger than the Scarlet Flame Sacred Body and without side effects, that would be the best.

Of course, improving his cultivation to the Void God Realm wasn’t that great, but it was the only choice under the circumstances.

As Wang Ping made his choice, he felt a terrifying power surge within him, causing his cultivation to rise rapidly.

Soon, Wang Ping felt his cultivation reach the Void God Realm, and the intensity of his magical power was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

“Right, this is the Void God Realm breakthrough under the condition of having a Sacred Body. The foundation is much stronger than a normal breakthrough. Although I no longer have the Sacred Body, the cultivation selection was based on the Sacred Body’s condition. In some sense, this is also a bug, right?”

Wang Ping silently thought to himself.

“System, how many resources do I need for the next paid simulation?”

Wang Ping took a deep breath and asked in his heart.

“Ding, detecting that the host’s cultivation has reached the first level of the Void God Realm. The fee for each paid simulation is ten pounds of lower-grade divine sources.”

The system’s voice sounded.

“Ten pounds of lower-grade divine sources?”

Wang Ping heard this number and breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it would be extremely expensive, but it turned out to be just ten pounds of lower-grade divine sources.

However, this didn’t seem quite right either.

After all, the reason lower-grade divine sources felt cheap to him was that he had over a hundred pounds of them, and the breakthrough to the Void God Realm in the simulated life consumed thousands of pounds of lower-grade divine sources.

In reality, both in the Purple Spirit Realm and the Blood Demon Realm, divine sources were extremely scarce. The bit left in the Purple Spirit Realm was left by ascenders long ago, and the total amount wasn’t even half a pound.

“Since my upcoming simulations only require lower-grade divine sources, although I could tell Lin Yuanyuan to stop, it’s killing off nuisances anyway, so there’s no need to stop her. The death of those people would benefit the Purple Spirit Realm more, might even strengthen Lin Yuanyuan a bit and gather some resources, which is beneficial for the chat group’s development.”

Wang Ping looked into the distance and shook his head slightly.

“Of course, I need to remind her not to kill innocent people.”

Thinking of this, Wang Ping sent a message to Lin Yuanyuan.

“By the way, Alpha, that woman, is she from the second-generation Transmigrator Chat Group?”

Wang Ping randomly thought of the woman he saw in the Life Simulator, and asked in his heart.

“Yes. Her name is Ruo Lan, one of the two half-saints. However, based on your memory, I can judge that she became a saint a thousand years later, so she could travel from the Small Universe to the Large Universe.”

Alpha gave a definite answer.

“As expected of a senior transmigrator, she’s really ruthless, becoming a saint in the Era of Decline. Did she trigger her potential to kill me, or was there another situation?”

Wang Ping stroked his chin and muttered.

Then, Wang Ping didn’t bother thinking too much about it. Anyway, she would come from the Small Universe to the Great Origin Ancient Star to find him after a thousand years, so there was no rush.

Of course, considering that in reality, she might rely on the big shots of the second-generation chat group, he needed to be cautious.

“By the way, I need to talk to Qin Tian and Ye Xiaofan about the situation in my world and see if they’re still willing to come.”

Then, Wang Ping opened the chat group and began to create a temporary small group to privately chat with Qin Tian and Ye Xiaofan.

When the two learned about the situation in Wang Ping’s world, they were completely stunned.

Damn, their world was already dangerous, but Wang Ping’s world was even more chaotic, and the anomaly levels were way higher than theirs. It was absurd.

For a moment, the two were really hesitant about whether they should go to Wang Ping’s world.

After all, committing suicide in Wang Ping’s world, reviving, wasting a revival opportunity, and facing such terrifying anomaly threats, they really couldn’t handle it.

“Brother Wang, we’ll develop in the Lower Realm, okay?”

After some hesitation, Qin Tian spoke.

In the Lower Realm, it shouldn’t be that dangerous, right…

“If anomalies break out, the Upper Realm would be finished. Do you think the Lower Realm won’t be affected?”

Ye Xiaofan silently said.

“Uh…”

Qin Tian fell silent.

To be honest, even Qin Tian wasn’t confident about Wang Ping when facing such terrifying anomalies.

Could Wang Ping really grow to a level above these anomalies?

Their Golden Finger came from the chat group. How could it possibly be stronger than the chat group?

“You guys think carefully before discussing it with me again… Anyway, there are many worlds to choose from. It’s just that their power limits can’t compete with ours.”

Wang Ping shook his head slightly, speaking earnestly.

“Besides, with new members joining the group, stronger worlds than mine might appear. The future is unpredictable.”

“Brother Wang is right. I’ll wait a little longer then.”

Qin Tian nodded.

Ye Xiaofan frowned, hesitated for a long while, then said, “The future is unpredictable. To be honest, I think the higher the power level of the world, the more scheming old monsters it has, and the danger isn’t necessarily lower than a world with anomalies causing trouble. So, Brother Wang, I’ll commit suicide and stay permanently in your world.”

“Do you want to go to the Upper Realm or the Lower Realm?”

Wang Ping appreciated Ye Xiaofan’s decisiveness and asked.

“The Lower Realm. Since we are all members of the chat group, when Brother Wang goes to the Upper Realm, we can just use the chat group’s teleportation function to teleport there. For now, I’ll develop in the Purple Spirit Realm.”

Ye Xiaofan replied rationally.

“Hmm.”

Wang Ping nodded, thinking this was a very smart choice.

Seeing this, Qin Tian opened his mouth, but ultimately didn’t follow them, unwilling to admit defeat.

At this moment, the chat group’s notification sounded again, surprising the three of them.

“Ding, member Yu Zhengtao (91) has joined the chat group.”

“Ding, member Zhang Haoran (92) has joined the chat group.”

“Oh, new members have arrived.”

Wang Ping’s eyes sparkled as he entered the main page of the chat group.

At this time, the two newcomers were looking at the Transmigrator Chat Group with bewildered expressions.

However, the newcomers seemed to have sharp minds and quickly checked the chat group’s introduction.

Soon, the two newcomers returned with twitching faces.

Yu Zhengtao (91): “As expected, nothing good comes from a suddenly appearing chat group. Isn’t this basically the Lord God’s Space version of a chat group?”

Zhang Haoran (92): “No words needed. Just looking at the chat group member list tells me the announcements aren’t lying.”

Wang Ping (66): “You two newcomers aren’t bad, criticizing the essence of the chat group so quickly. Of course, the chat group is much better now than it used to be.”

Qin Tian (77): “Brother Wang is right. By the way, you’d better hurry and choose your transmigration method and activate your Golden Finger. I’m curious about what kind of Golden Finger you two newcomers will get.”

Yu Zhengtao (91): “Thanks for the reminder, but let me calm down first.”

Zhang Haoran (92): “+1 above.”

Ding Xuan (88): “Hey, no need to calm down, just transmigrate without thinking too much. Although the risk of physical transmigration is reduced, it still exists.”

Fang Yun (3): “Don’t listen to him talking nonsense. The risks of soul transmigration and physical transmigration are the same. Physical transmigration doesn’t guarantee safety, and soul transmigration isn’t much better since you don’t know what kind of entity you’ll end up in.”

Zeng Lingdong (89): “Quietly watching the big shots chat with envy.”

Wang Ping (66) @Zeng Lingdong (89): “By the way, you haven’t been active for a while. How’s the situation in your world? Have you figured out what kind of world it is?”

Zeng Lingdong (89): “I’ve been quietly checking in and developing carefully. I still don’t know what kind of world it is. But one thing I can confirm is that this world has extraordinary power since it contains something like spiritual energy.”

Wang Ping (66): “Spiritual energy, huh? You might have drawn an urban cultivation side quest.”

Cai Yonglong (1): “Speaking of urban cultivation, I think of plots where immortal emperors or supreme beings return and slap faces in the city. Laughing till my stomach hurts.jpg.”

Zhang Hu (5): “To be honest, that’s really funny.”

Wang Ping (66): “Stop laughing. Maybe the world Zeng Lingdong is in really is that kind of world, with a protagonist who’s an immortal emperor returning.”

Hearing Wang Ping’s words, everyone stopped laughing.

If that were true, it would be quite terrifying; Zeng Lingdong would have drawn a very strong world.

Of course, in a certain sense, this was good for the chat group, as it added another world to choose from.

Zeng Lingdong (89): “Uh… If possible, I’d still prefer not having such a situation… I want to slack off and become strong while lying down.”

Zhang Jun (70): “Envious of people who can become strong while lying down.”

Yu Zhengtao (91): “I’ve decided. I’ll go with soul transmigration. It’s a bit safer.”

Zhang Haoran (92): “Good brother, you go first. I’ll be watching! Good luck, brother!”

Yu Zhengtao (91): “…”

Yu Zhengtao’s face twitched; ignoring his fellow newcomer Zhang Haoran, he decisively chose soul transmigration.

Soon, Yu Zhengtao found himself transmigrated into the body of a beggar boy.

“Though I’m a beggar, it’s better than transmigrating into some bizarre animal. Besides, I have a Golden Finger and the support of other transmigrators. I won’t starve to death.”

Yu Zhengtao was extremely delighted, glancing at the clearly retro-dressed crowd around him, feeling that he had bet correctly.

Next, Yu Zhengtao drew his Golden Finger, revealing an expression of surprise.

Qin Tian (77): “How’s the situation with the newcomer? Have you drawn the Golden Finger yet? Hurry up and speak up so everyone can judge!”

Yu Zhengtao (91): “Hahaha, I have transmigrated into the body of a beggar boy! This is awesome! And the Golden Finger I drew is super powerful too!”

Wang Ping (66): “Interesting, what Golden Finger did you draw?”

Yu Zhengtao (91): “Hehe, the Golden Finger I drew is called the Masochist System. As long as I get beaten, I can get stronger!”

Wang Ping (66): “…The Masochist System? Does such a Golden Finger really exist?”

Qin Tian (77): “That’s impressive. This kind of system is a bit bizarre. By the way, you’re so happy to get such a Golden Finger… you don’t have masochist tendencies, do you?”

Yu Zhengtao (91): “I don’t have any masochist tendencies. I just think that compared to enduring hardships, getting beaten to become stronger is quite a good thing.”

Zhang Hu (5): “Haha, I really admire the newcomer’s mindset.”

Fang Yun (3): “Newcomer, if you don’t mind, how about coming to the training ground every day? I’ll beat you to make you stronger. Evil smile.jpg.”

Wang Shuqing (74): “Ahem, I think if another newcomer gets the Sadist System, the two of you together might just take off.”

Chen Kang (67): “Goodness, your imaginations are wild. I’m impressed.”

Wang Ping (66): “To be fair, it does make some sense.”

Wang Ping (66) @Zhang Haoran (92): “Newcomer, put in some effort, survive, and then awaken a Sadist System. Complement each other and become strong together.”

Ding Xuan (88): “Hey, transmigrate again and become a woman, then turn into a sadist queen… wouldn’t that be awesome?”

Zhang Haoran (92): “I’m not a sadist. How could I awaken such a system? Also, I have no interest in becoming a woman, thank you.”

Zhang Haoran was speechless; these big shots really had some bizarre preferences.

Could it be that surviving in this environment inevitably messes with one’s mind?

Zhang Haoran (92): “However, transmigrating sounds like a good option. I’ll choose to transmigrate!”

As Zhang Haoran spoke these words, he chose to transmigrate.

Then, something happened that left him speechless. Whether it was due to Ding Xuan’s jinx, he really transmigrated into a woman.

For a moment, Zhang Haoran panicked, fearing he might actually draw a bizarre Sadist System.

However, as he drew his Golden Finger, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t draw any bizarre Sadist System. The Golden Finger he drew was quite decent.

Zhang Haoran (92): “I survived the transmigration… Although it’s unpleasant to become a woman, my Golden Finger is strong, which calmed me down a bit.”

Ding Xuan (88): “Damn, you actually became a woman. I’m so jealous.”

Zhang Haoran (92): “What’s so enviable about becoming a woman? Are you some kind of pervert? Shocked.jpg.”

Wang Ping (66): “He is indeed a pervert. He wanted to transmigrate into a woman, but unfortunately, he ended up transmigrating into a tigress. His future goal is to become human again.”

Zhang Haoran (92): “…”

Wang Ping (66): “Alright, enough about that. What’s your Golden Finger?”

Zhang Haoran (92): “Synthesis System. I can combine two items into a new one, though there’s a chance of failure.”

Wang Ping (66): “Synthesis System? Not bad!”

Wang Ping’s eyes lit up.

He had read novels with Synthesis System types, and the potential for such Golden Fingers was high.

If he got some good items in the future and gave them to Zhang Haoran to synthesize, it might yield unexpected results.

More importantly, Zhang Haoran’s talent, combined with Xu Yi’s Multiplication, was quite complementary.

“However, Xu Yi is too greedy, untrustworthy, and not worth nurturing. Moreover, during one mission, he betrayed his teammates and fled alone due to a powerful enemy, causing Chen Yao to die once…”

Wang Ping thought of this and frowned slightly.

“Alpha, can I get permission to erase his memories, brainwash him, and make him a simple tool?”

After considering, Wang Ping asked in his mind.

When in doubt, ask Alpha—it never goes wrong.

“It’s against the rules.”

Alpha’s cold voice answered.

This made Wang Ping frown in disappointment.

“However, for the sake of the chat group’s development, you’re allowed to enslave and control those prone to betrayal.”

At this moment, Alpha spoke again.

“That’s more like it.”

Wang Ping smiled.

Ha, Alpha, who had been betrayed twice before, wasn’t likely to tolerate such members. Allowing enslavement was indeed the normal response.

“Xu Yi, you’ll become a tool and make outstanding contributions to the chat group’s development.”

Wang Ping’s eyes glittered as he thought.

In this case, he could spend some group points to upgrade Xu Yi’s Golden Finger first.

As for Zhang Haoran, that would be considered later.

If possible, directly spend group points to cultivate.

When the time comes, with various fusions, he will directly obtain all kinds of good things, isn’t that delightful…

While Wang Ping was envisioning the future and the chat group was astonished and envious of Zhang Haoran’s Golden Finger, the chat group’s notification chimed once more.

“Ding, detected major life crisis of group member Wang Shuqing (74), group members can participate in rescue.”

At that moment, the chat group’s red alert suddenly sounded, surprising everyone in the chat group, including Wang Ping.

It’s rare for an old group member to suddenly encounter life-threatening danger.

Moreover, it’s a rare red alert.

Wang Ping (66) @ Wang Shuqing (74): “Wang Shuqing, what’s happening on your side? Weren’t you just chatting casually?”

Wang Shuqing (74): “I don’t know? What major life crisis? I’m a bit confused.”

Wang Ping (66): “It seems like there’s a crisis you aren’t aware of, you might just be one of the affected. Wait a moment, I’ll come to your world.”

Wang Shuqing (74): “Alright! With Brother Wang coming, I feel extremely secure!”

Lin Yuanyuan (80): “Brother Wang, although I’d love to say I’d go, I’m currently involved in a fight, so I’ll pass.”

Chen Yao (71): “Yuanyuan has become so confident? Seems like you’ve gotten a lot stronger.”

Lin Yuanyuan (80): “Not much, just at quasi-immortal level. Covering my mouth and laughing.jpg.”

Everyone: “???”

As Lin Yuanyuan’s show-off exploded the chat group, Wang Ping also exited the chat group, planning to head to Wang Shuqing’s world.

“System, give me a paid simulation.”

However, thinking he might encounter a situation he couldn’t handle, Wang Ping decided to operate as he did before.

“Ding, consuming ten jin of lower-grade divine sources, paid simulation successful, life simulator starting, talents refreshing”

The system’s voice sounded.

“Ding, talents refreshed successfully, congratulations to the host for refreshing to Golden Talent: Incomplete Spacetime Dao Body; Red Talent: Maniacal Clown.”

Golden Talent: Incomplete Spacetime Dao Body: Spacetime Dao Body, one of the top physiques in the world. Although this talent only grants you an incomplete Spacetime Dao Body, it’s still stronger than ordinary Sacred Bodies.

PS: Of course, if it weren’t incomplete, this talent wouldn’t be Golden, and the host wouldn’t have refreshed it.

Red Talent: Maniacal Clown: With this talent, the host will become manic, enjoying dressing up as a clown and laughing. At the same time, the host will receive a power boost and will also turn people around into clowns.

“Another golden! Isn’t my luck a bit too terrifying!?”

Wang Ping was stunned looking at the refreshed talents.

He never expected to get consecutive golden results.

Wang Ping suspected that after these two waves, he would have a long period of bad luck.

“This Red Talent: Maniacal Clown is kind of interesting, I would have definitely chosen it in the past. Unfortunately, compared to the golden one, it’s not much.”

Wang Ping sighed as he read the Red Talent’s description.

At this moment, Wang Ping felt his consciousness flicker, sensing an immersive simulation coming.

However, Wang Ping forcefully stopped this feeling, opened the chat group, and chose to transmigrate.

He needed to go to Wang Shuqing’s world first and save him.

As Wang Ping transmigrated to Wang Shuqing’s world, he saw Wang Shuqing still looking somewhat bewildered.

“Brother Wang, you’re here.”

Upon seeing Wang Ping, Wang Shuqing snapped out of it and greeted him enthusiastically.

“I have a grasp of your world’s situation.”

Wang Ping nodded to Wang Shuqing and spoke.

“Eh? Brother Wang, haven’t you…”

Wang Shuqing was puzzled.

Wang Ping just arrived, clearly didn’t use any Golden Finger, how did he know the truth about his life-threatening danger?

“My sensory abilities are very strong, not only can I cover the planet, but I can also observe some situations in space.”

Wang Ping gazed into space, his eyes sharp as electricity, and spoke slowly.

“Space?”

Wang Shuqing froze, then his pupils shrank violently.

“Brother Wang, do you mean the enemy is from space, isn’t that…”

Wang Shuqing’s mouth gaped.

“Indeed, it’s extraterrestrial civilization. Alien civilization has invaded Blue Star.”

Wang Ping nodded, affirming Wang Shuqing’s guess.

“Some of the technology and martial arts in your world are inherited from alien ruins, so it’s not abnormal for an alien civilization to exist.”

“Well, it’s normal, but the sudden invasion caught me off guard. Also, they’re too strong… Even though I have seven-star combat power now, with terrifying defense, I can still be affected to the point of death?”

Wang Shuqing’s mood was complicated.

“They have a space fleet, and I can sense very strong life auras in the fleet. While the strength doesn’t reach the ten-star level, it’s close enough.”

Wang Ping shook his head and said.

“To be honest, their greatest strength isn’t individual prowess, but the threat posed by their space fleet. I can feel it… If that fleet wanted to, it could obliterate Blue Star with ease using their so-called planet-destroying cannons.”

Wang Shuqing was at a loss for words, finally understanding why the chat group issued a red alert.

After all, faced with such a powerful space fleet, Blue Star truly had no means of resistance. It was very likely he would perish in the aftermath.

“To be honest, their arrival, in my opinion, is actually a good thing.”

Wang Ping rubbed his chin, speaking with interest.

“Why do you say that?”

Wang Shuqing was somewhat puzzled.

“Since the space fleet has powerful individuals, it means that the martial arts system in the universe is strong, and they may not even be considered top-tier.”

Wang Ping raised a finger, speaking slowly.

“This means that your martial arts system could be expanded. Additionally, you could also connect with extraterrestrial civilizations. By then, your technology might also see a rapid growth. How many benefits do you think you could gain in such a situation?”

!!!

Upon hearing this, Wang Shuqing’s eyes brightened, and his heart began to pound.

He wasn’t an idiot, he just hadn’t thought about it initially.

“Brother Wang, it’s very tempting. But, Blue Star is so weak… If we really enter the universe, we’d be like ants. We can’t always rely on you to come and help, and even if you do, I’m not sure you could handle all those civilizations.”

Wang Shuqing scratched his head, mumbling.

“Take it one step at a time. No one’s asking you to connect with extraterrestrial civilizations immediately; who knows how many years that will take. By then…”

Wang Ping rolled his eyes, spouting complaints.

But in the end, Wang Ping didn’t say the last phrase: ‘Who knows how strong I’ll be by then.’

The future is unpredictable, and even the Life Simulator can’t fully forecast it, so it’s better not to make bold declarations only to end up humiliated.

“Anyway, take it slow, don’t rush. I’ll scout ahead first. A small space fleet from an alien civilization… I can still handle it single-handedly.”

Wang Ping lightly coughed and patted Wang Shuqing on the shoulder.

“Thank you, Brother Wang!”

Upon hearing Wang Ping’s words, Wang Shuqing also smiled.

Indeed, Brother Wang’s strength increases so quickly that even if the alien civilizations are strong, Brother Wang could certainly grow stronger than them in the future.

“I’ll be back soon.”

Wang Ping’s eyes flashed, and he tore through space, disappearing.

For him, this was also an opportunity. If he seized it, he could acquire the advanced martial system of this high-level martial world.

By then, he’d have another path to follow. He could exploit the Life Simulator’s glitches, growing stronger while the resources consumed by the simulation wouldn’t change, which would be very convenient.

In outer space, a hundred spaceships hovered, with extraterrestrial beings inside gazing down at Blue Star.

“What a beautiful planet. If we sold it, we could certainly make a lot of money.”

In the mothership, an octopus-like alien’s eyes gleamed with a bit of frenzy.

The universe is vast, but life-bearing planets are still rare, making them incredibly valuable.

Thus, these cosmic exploration fleets are dedicated to locating and selling these life-bearing planets, expanding their teams and earning more resources to strengthen themselves.

“So, have we completed the civilization level scan of this planet? What’s the strength of its strongest being?”

Subsequently, the octopus-like alien turned to his deputy and asked.

“The civilization level is very low; they haven’t even achieved interstellar migration—it’s completely a primitive planet. As for the strongest being, they’re pathetically weak, at merely the Seven-Star Golden Body level.”

The deputy replied with disdain.

“Haha, a primitive planet with its strongest at Seven-Star Golden Body? This will be an easy conquest.”

The octopus-like alien also showed a disdainful expression.

“In that case, deploy the weapons and annihilate the primitives on this planet. It’s like weeding out some insects.”

“Understood.”

The deputy nodded nonchalantly.

To them, civilizations disconnected from the universe are insignificant, and all intelligent life on such planets are like insects. They’ve exterminated many such ‘insects’ before.

In fact, exterminating such ‘insects’ doesn’t even require them to lift a hand. They just need to research their DNA a bit, then drop some tailored viruses to kill them all without damaging the planet’s environment or other species.

“Who are you calling insects?”

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out, startling the octopus-like alien captain and the other aliens.

Simultaneously, the fleet’s energy system began emitting a shocking red alert, detecting the terrifying energy within Wang Ping.

Even the energy detection devices on the mothership couldn’t fully measure the extent of Wang Ping’s energy, only knowing it surpassed the detection limit.

“Hey? Are you joking? You call this a weak primitive?”

The octopus-like captain widened his peculiar eyes in disbelief.

“But… the previous intelligence and energy scans were indeed like this…”

The deputy was also in disbelief, unable to comprehend the situation before his eyes.
