Chapter 83 – Third Immersive Simulation, Luo Shuying!

Su Xing froze when he saw this, then suddenly thought of something. He paused the simulation and silently recited in his mind:

“I want to use the immersive simulation function!”

【Ding. You have successfully activated immersive simulation. 100,000 energy points consumed. Simulation duration: one hour. Remaining energy: 2,523,333 points!】

This was the third time Su Xing had used the immersive simulation function. Each time, there had been a compelling reason to enter personally.

And this time was no different—it was for an equally important reason.

Su Xing felt the world shift before his eyes, and when he regained awareness, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.

It looked like a rural village in some remote township—exactly the kind of place suited for a traitorous organization like the Advent Cult to hide.

Before Su Xing stood a figure clad in a tight black outfit, wrapped from head to toe, wearing a mask with a green-faced, fanged demon visage that looked utterly terrifying.

“Why did you suddenly stop mid-sentence?”

Luo Shuying’s slightly weary voice came from in front of him.

Su Xing smiled and said:

“I was thinking—if the next time I cross timelines and see you, is there some way to make you trust me immediately, without all the testing and probing? Like establishing a code phrase or something?”

This was exactly why Su Xing wanted to use immersive simulation. If they could truly establish a code phrase, it would save considerable time in future simulations.

Luo Shuying froze for a moment, then let out a soft laugh:

“If that day ever comes, just say this to me: ‘Do you still remember that little girl who cried all night in the pouring rain? There’s no going back, Luo Shuying!'”

Su Xing nodded and carefully committed the phrase to memory, then said lightly:

“Don’t worry! Next time I cross timelines, I’ll definitely try to save your homeland and the world again!”

A flicker of anticipation appeared in Luo Shuying’s eyes as she nodded:

“I truly look forward to that day… It’s a shame I’ll never get to see it…”

Su Xing fell silent. For him, each simulation was merely a matter of minutes, but for the people who truly existed within the simulation, it was their entire lifetime.

Over the next several dozen minutes, Su Xing didn’t do anything extra. He simply sat quietly beside Luo Shuying, watching the tranquil country paths and the endless golden rice paddies stretching to the horizon.

As if the whole world were at peace, and the apocalypse and its bloody struggles had been forgotten.

When the immersive simulation was about to end, Luo Shuying suddenly said to Su Xing:

“Elder Medicine, could you take off your mask and let me see your face?”

As she spoke, Luo Shuying removed her own mask first, revealing an exquisite face—skin pale as snow, light blue eyes—like a fairy come alive among mortals. Yet there was always a trace of sorrow lingering between her brows.

Su Xing was momentarily stunned by Luo Shuying’s beauty. If before this, Jin Congxue had been the most beautiful girl Su Xing had ever seen, then Luo Shuying surpassed even Jin Congxue by a clear margin.

Su Xing smiled and removed his mask as well.

In that instant, Luo Shuying froze when she saw Su Xing’s face.

After a long silence, she smiled:

“I never imagined Elder Medicine would be so young and so handsome… I think I understand now why the me from another timeline would ally with you~”

With that, Luo Shuying gave a playful blink. Su Xing smiled faintly and was about to say something when his consciousness was suddenly pulled back to the real world.

【Ding. Immersive simulation experience has ended. Host is now returning to the real world.】

Back in reality, Su Xing stared blankly at the simulation screen before him for a long while before snapping out of it.

“Luo Shuying… she’s another woman with a tragic past, isn’t she…”

Su Xing murmured silently.

For Su Xing, immersive simulation carried no danger whatsoever. The moment danger arose, the simulator would automatically end the immersive session, and his consciousness would return to his body.

Moreover, even if he told people within the simulation that he could cross timelines, they would forget everything by the next simulation, and it would have absolutely no effect on the real world.

It was precisely because of this that Su Xing had used such a bold approach to form an alliance with Luo Shuying.

【Year 10: You successfully persuaded Luo Shuying and defected to the Great Xia Military together. Before defecting, you and Luo Shuying raided the Advent Cult’s treasury, obtaining a massive quantity of medicinal herbs and treasures.】

【The Advent Cult’s upper echelons dispatched six Protectors and over a dozen Elders to hunt you down. Fortunately, you had joined the Great Xia Military and were taken under their protection.】

【Though the Advent Cult was powerful, they dared not clash head-on with the Great Xia Military, and had no choice but to let you go.】

【You met with Lu Yuanwu and handed over all 230,000 Organ Tempering Pills and Essence Nurturing Pills you had accumulated over the years. You personally supervised the Great Xia Military’s soldiers in properly consuming the pills.】

【With the aid of your pill-crafting, in just half a year, the Great Xia Military gained over 40,000 new Grandmaster-stage Class Users! Overnight, the number of Grandmaster-stage Class Users in Great Xia multiplied several times over!】

Su Xing felt a surge of excitement reading this.

From what Su Xing understood, Great Xia had only maintained around ten to twenty thousand Grandmaster-stage Class Users in recent years, and most of these Class Users had come from the seven top academies—Capital City Academy, Jiangnan Academy, and the others.

Each year, the seven academies supplied the military and Demon-Sealing Pass with large numbers of talented Class Users. Tempered by the fires of war, these Class Users typically grew even stronger within a year or two.

Su Xing murmured:

“But ten years from now, the number of Grandmaster-stage Class Users in the Great Xia Military has actually decreased rather than increased. That means the frontline situation at Demon-Sealing Pass has grown increasingly dire—the reinforcements probably can’t keep up with the casualties anymore. That’s why the Grandmaster-stage Class Users dropped from over ten thousand to fewer than ten thousand.”

And the Su Xing of ten years later had single-handedly intervened, adding 40,000 Grandmaster-stage Class Users to the Great Xia Military. With the core fighting force multiplied several times over, they would have a much better chance of holding Demon-Sealing Pass.

“And more importantly, the key is still the Dragon Spirit Pills! Those can produce Heavenly King-stage Class Users!”

Su Xing took a deep breath and continued the simulation.

【Year 11: With the addition of 40,000 Grandmaster-stage Class Users, the frontline at Demon-Sealing Pass gradually turned around. Not only could Great Xia hold Demon-Sealing Pass, but they could occasionally even sally forth to counterattack the foreign races.】

【That same year, in recognition of your outstanding contributions to Great Xia and all of humanity, you were awarded the Great Xia Hero’s Medal and granted First-Class status!】

【In all of Great Xia, only a dozen or so individuals held First-Class status. You could access virtually all intelligence and resource support the nation had to offer. You chose to become a special advisor to the Great Xia Military, holding a rank equivalent to a five-star general.】

【You still had over two hundred stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass remaining—the key to producing Heavenly King-stage powerhouses. You devoted yourself even more diligently to refining Dragon Spirit Pills and continuously improving your success rate.】

【Year 12: Using over two hundred stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass, you successfully refined more than one thousand Dragon Spirit Pills. Combined with your previous stock, you now possessed nearly two thousand Dragon Spirit Pills.】

【After completing the refinement, you invoked your First-Class privileges to convene a high-level Great Xia conference to discuss the deployment of the Dragon Spirit Pills.】
