This simulation allowed Qin Che to obtain a lot of useful intelligence.

Although he didn't have much time left due to the Black Catastrophe, the information density was greater than in previous simulations.

The new weapon was created by Fu Xian, who is no longer a member of the royalist faction or the crown prince's party, but has chosen to join forces with Prince Shu.

Qin Che didn't know what Fu Xian's purpose was, but from their past interactions, he knew that Fu Xian was actually an idealist, or that there was a part of idealism in his personality. Joining forces with Prince Shu was probably his only choice, and also the most effective and positive one.

Therefore, Qin Che did not feel betrayed.

He wasn't royalty, and he'd never even been to Wall Ten. Fu Xian's betrayal of the old Spirit King and the royalist faction had nothing to do with him. After all, at this moment, Qin Che was still on the same side as Fu Xian.

However, this simulation also reveals Duan Wujiu's intentions.

Fu Xian was dawdling and not very interested in starting his own company. He also adopted a slow and steady strategy in acquiring the Forest Group. As an ally, Qin Che couldn't really criticize him, but he was indeed a little annoyed.

If they cooperate with Wall No. 10, Duan Wujiu should be able to represent the princelings in granting his request to open a new company selling grain and weapons at Wall No. 10.

Of course, even so, it's only something to consider.

The description in the simulator is rather vague; he still needs Duan Wujiu to offer other bargaining chips.

As for the eldest prince, Sa Lingtian... Qin Che was not familiar with him, but the eldest prince's name had never appeared in this factional struggle, which was very strange. Why would someone like him suddenly appear in the simulator?

After all, the Moon King chose the Third Prince, the Shu King chose the Fourth Prince, and the Second Prince was the second legitimate son of the old Ling King, and was the most rightful heir to the throne. He also gathered a group of royalists and crown princes around him.

But the eldest prince...

This person is too unfamiliar. As the eldest son of the old Spirit King, his sudden appearance in the simulator and his description of the so-called 'Black Disaster' symptoms is definitely not normal.

As for the information that followed... hehe.

As the saying goes, "when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down," and this simulation has already illustrated this point in great detail.

If he falls ill and loses his strength, these people will only gradually distance themselves from him, or even betray him.

Such is human nature; it is the law of nature. Although he was still furious, Qin Che did not intend to do anything. His only option was to wait cautiously.

Although the simulator indicated that he would encounter the Black Calamity while cultivating in the Black Tide World in half a month, Qin Che had already decided to give up cultivation and stop collecting spiritual energy resources from the Black Tide World from now on. After all, the simulator was not entirely accurate, and he had to be cautious.

As for the battle...

He had already recovered from the depletion of this war. Cultivation was to increase the upper limit of spiritual energy and the density of spiritual energy particles, and it did not affect his ability to recover the depleted spiritual energy on his own. This was similar to the process of metabolism in the human body, which he could not perceive from a microscopic perspective.

Although self-recovery is relatively slow, Qin Che dared not venture into the Black Tide world again.

In any case, we'll have to wait until the next simulation, or until we find a solution to the Black Disaster.

Even if this condition is incurable, it's fine as long as we know how to avoid it.

As an extraordinary being, Qin Che navigated the Black Tide like a fish in the sea, yet he still couldn't figure out the rules of the Black Tide world. He was extremely prone to getting lost at times, and the so-called sinking to the bottom and seeing the Imperial Illusion was something that could only happen in a simulator. Qin Che had never encountered it once during his cultivation in reality.

Having figured all this out,

Qin Che rubbed his hands together and chose option two from the three choices.

One is a memory, and the other is the Black Disaster pathogen, both of which are extremely dangerous. Qin Che dared not touch them lightly.

However, the fact that three can be the 'reward' itself is enough to explain everything. Pathogens are a rare commodity, and it is highly likely that the existing wasteland technology is simply unable to study the Black Disaster. Qin Che himself possesses a system, and since he can extract pathogens, it is enough to prove that the system has sufficient technology to study things related to the Black Disaster and psionic energy at the microscopic level.

This is good news.

But it's not something Qin Che can control right now.

Whoosh!

A rough stone appeared in Qin Che's hand.

It was unremarkable, as if it had been picked up randomly from some patch of ground.

The next second, Qin Che secretly fed it some psionic particles.

The stone suddenly lit up with bursts of light, slightly dim, with a color similar to the fluorescence of fireflies, slightly bluish.

This sensation quickly made Qin Che understand its function.

These 'coordinate stones' can be used to help him locate himself in the Black Tide world.

This is undoubtedly a great help.

Because it can be carried into the Black Tide world.

In the chaotic space, if one can grasp the location of each place, one can draw a coordinate system and obtain something similar to a 'map' of the Black Tide World. Qin Che couldn't think of any other use for this map besides its tool-like nature, but it was already a very good reward.

Not only can it enhance Qin Che's safety in the Black Tide World, but it can also help him collect spiritual energy resources and make it easier for him to find various spiritual energy properties. Even if he gets lost, he can sense the location of the coordinate stone and find his way back at any time.

Alas?

With this, why fear falling into the Black Tide and suffering a Black Catastrophe?

Qin Che began to think...
