Chapter 380 A Life on Thin Ice

Lao Pi was cursing and looking for sympathy in the forum, and the more he looked, the angrier he got.

But suddenly, he saw a post with the title:

[Simulation is the correct answer. I'm so confused about choosing one of the three options!]

He was stunned for a moment, then clicked on it and saw the screenshots posted by the host were very arrogant:

[Simulation results: three optional entries]

【Dao Bone Initial Formation】（Cultivation growth speed +5%）

[Wind Without Trace] (Movement speed +10%, and less likely to trigger random events)

[Ordinary Mind is Easily Destroyed] (Stable mind, +5% chance of breakthrough)

The host proudly wrote:

"Brothers, don't travel yet! Don't travel! Simulate to save your life! I'm taking off directly!"

The comment section is also full of inquiries.

"Hey bro, what did you simulate? This entry is really good!"

"Damn, my simulations are all garbage, you're so lucky!"

"Different experiences lead to different entries!"

Lao Pi was drooling as he watched.

"Simulation and deduction... can produce something this amazing?"

"I just happened to believe in the travelogue, and ended up getting killed in Shekou."

"If I had known earlier, I would have used it too. I wouldn't have been so worried about it!"

"The most painful thing in the world is that the person dies, but the simulation still exists!"

In the post, the host pretended to be calm in his reply:

"I'm planning on just going offline now and waiting for the Zhoutian competition. There's nothing much to do in traveling. The main thing is that traveling carries the risk of death!"

"I just took a casual trip and found that after installing the entry, the risk of the trip became much greater! So I just gave up!

As Lao Pi watched, the corners of his eyes twitched wildly.

He couldn't help but flip through the post, his eyes almost staring into the screen.

It wasn't just this one person. He then posted several similar sharing posts.

[Simulation is like buying lottery tickets, guaranteed to win!]

[Travel is risky, simulation is the way to go!]

In the screenshots, each player posted the entries they got:

[Gathering Qi Like a Tide], [Meditation], [Foundation-Building Seed]...

Although most of them look ordinary, at least people survived!

Compared to his miserable situation of being dead within an hour of starting the game and having to wait a week for cooling down, this is so much better.

The corners of Lao Pi's mouth twitched,

"So we can just hang up and wait for the Zhoutian competition?"

"It's a pity that I don't even have the hope of participating in the Zhoutian Competition now!"

"I was just too obsessed with the simulation before!"

He could no longer control the greed in his heart.

Lao Pi suddenly had an idea.

The account of "Zheng Changsheng" is bound to the Deep Blue platform,

If you don’t have so many accounts, why not just borrow one from your sister?

She doesn't play games anyway!

Soon, with a phone call, Lao Pi directly logged into his sister's number.

Soon, the familiar panel popped up on the screen.

Lao Pi continued his journey of immortality.

Then comes the familiar operation.

But this time, he didn't click "travel" randomly at all.

After all, every journey is full of unknowns. If he dies, he will have to continue borrowing an account.

So, Lao Pi directly moved his hand to "simulation and deduction".

[Do you want to conduct a simulation? Cooldown period: 7 days]

【Confirm/Cancel】

Lao Pi decisively clicked "Confirm".

The next second, the screen suddenly went dark, as if it had switched to another dimension.

Lines of text appeared in the center of the entire interface, describing the character's future life:

[Your name is Kaigong. You were born in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and were extremely poor.]

[I have no equipment or assets on me]

You lived to be ten years old on social welfare.

[At the age of ten, he entered Songtao Temple and began to learn about Taoism.]

You spent the first day of your life cultivating immortality, meditating diligently and trying to sense spiritual energy.

[When you were fifteen, your cultivation encountered obstacles, and your master gave you a worn-out copy of the Heart Sutra.]

[At the age of twenty, you had just begun to glimpse the sea of ​​​​spiritual energy, but due to your mediocre physique, your spiritual power grew slowly.]

You begin to meditate at night, but due to a lack of spiritual energy, you feel drowsy.

【……】

The appearance of lines of text can really attract Lao Pi's attention.

It's not the lines of words, but the words below.

There is a small doll there, with a pixel style, and its image is basically the same as the character.

As the plot progresses, the villain will make corresponding actions:

When becoming a disciple, one kowtows in the animation;

When practicing, one would sit cross-legged on a cushion;

When he was drowsy, the little guy swayed from side to side and fell to the ground, snoring with snot bubbles coming out of his nose.

"Fuck, this is pretty interesting!"

"Why is there animation?"

Lao Pi's eyes lit up.

The text itself makes people feel very involved, but the shadow of this little man is combined with the action performance.

It was as if someone had reduced his life to a puppet show and was performing it for him scene by scene.

"Fuck, this is my first time using a simulator, I didn't even know this thing existed."

"So the simulation isn't just text? It also has animation!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Lao Pi stared at the screen with his eyes almost glued to it, and was completely immersed in it.

"This is much better than wandering around!"

Lao Pi held the phone tightly, holding his breath as he read the lines of text.

It was as if I was also dragged into that strange yet real life.

[At the age of twenty-one, your cultivation is still meager.]

[You don't dare to go out and explore, fearing encountering ferocious beasts or demonic cultivators.]

You meditate every morning, sweep the grounds in the evening, and tend the herb garden at night. Your life is as peaceful as water.

[At the age of twenty-five, your fellow disciples went out to undergo trials, some died in battle, and some returned with fame.]

[You still choose to stay in Songtao Temple, being cautious.]

[At the age of thirty, you realize that your physical condition is limited and there is no hope of a breakthrough, so you begin to doubt the path of cultivation.]

[At the age of thirty-three, you watched your fellow disciples successfully establish their foundation, your eyes dimming.]

At thirty-five, you are disheartened and still struggle to survive.

[At forty, your life span is shortening, and your Qi and blood are weakening.]

[At forty-five, his life span was not yet over, but his will was broken.]

[At the age of fifty, your Dao heart collapsed and your cultivation completely stagnated.]

At the age of fifty-three, you died in meditation due to exhaustion of your lifespan.

The pixel man at the bottom of the screen is more realistic this time:

The appearance of diligently cultivating in youth;

At the age of twenty-five, he looked at his senior brothers and sisters with a lonely look as they left for the distant land;

At thirty, I sat on the futon, clutching my knees and sighing;

Finally, at the age of fifty-three, he closed his eyes and passed away, turning into white light.

As the last line of text appears, the simulation ends.

[Simulation End]

The screen paused, and then a prompt popped up:

[Optional entries are as follows:]

[Operation Veteran]——You have done countless chores, reducing your physical energy consumption by 5%.

[Morning Bells and Evening Drums] - Go to bed early and get up early. This is what you do most in your life. Your daily practice efficiency increases by 2%.

[Cautious as a Shadow]——True bravery is to protect yourself, not to experience danger. Chance of death -1%.

Lao Pi was stunned for three seconds.

"That's it? That's it?"

“I’m so ordinary!”

Three entries, each more ordinary than the last.

It seems that the character I play dares not do anything in his life, which perfectly illustrates what it means to live a life of meager living in retirement.

This is the life of a social animal who cultivates immortality!

Lao Pi wanted to criticize the planner, but staring at the puppet show of the pixel man's life,

Also stopped operating.

This villain's life is like walking on thin ice.

Then these three entries can be considered quite standard!

Lao Pi was silent for a long time and realized the problem with his simulation this time.

This character has no equipment, no attributes, and is just simulated... so the simulated life is naturally an ordinary one!

"If you want to get incredible attributes, you must first accumulate resources, equipment, and attributes."

"Nothing is directly simulated. It's basically like watching a documentary about ordinary people cultivating immortals."

"If there had been some luck in the early stages, things would definitely have been different in the simulation!"

"I must have been a little too hasty!"

"Simulation is an inference based on reality!"

"It seems that this mechanism is quite interesting!"
