Thick clouds gathered in the sky, completely blocking out the darkness, making it feel oppressive and inexplicably heavy.
It was only early afternoon, but the sky looked like it was already nearing dusk.
The heavy rain continued to pour down, showing no signs of stopping.
The camellia trees in the courtyard swayed their branches and leaves constantly under the wind and rain, making a "whooshing" sound.
In front of the main house.
The stove in front of the door was still burning brightly, and the temperature above it was significantly higher, which made the cold wind passing over the stove less biting and more gentle.
Inside the room, Qu Feiyan, who should have been to Chu Qinghe's left, had already gone to Chu Qinghe's bed and sat cross-legged to refine the medicinal effects within her body.
At the entrance, Chu Qinghe and Dongfang Bubai remained seated facing each other.
But I don't know if it was because of the hot winds that kept blowing on my face, or because of the alcohol.
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai had two more blushes on her face, and her expression was even more languid than before.
However, Dongfang Bubai's current state actually benefited Chu Qinghe, who was standing next to him.
With a beautiful woman by his side, Chu Qinghe could not only enjoy the rain but also admire her beauty.
After drinking the wine, Chu Qinghe, feeling somewhat bored, had a sudden thought.
"System, please check in."
As soon as the voice fell, after a few seconds of silence, system messages began to appear one by one.
[Ding, congratulations host for successfully checking in.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired one hundred taels of gold.]
[Ding, congratulations host, you have obtained the medicine, 1 Wan Ku Cao (万枯草).]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the medicine: 1 century-old Ganoderma lucidum.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Yellow-Rank High-Grade Finger Technique, "Iron Sword Finger".]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a combat simulator (one month).]
[The reward has been automatically added to your system inventory. Please check and retrieve it yourself.]
With these system notifications coming in one after another, Chu Qinghe turned his attention to checking his system inventory.
A moment later, Chu Qinghe's attention quickly focused on the "combat simulator" in the rewards.
Although Chu Qinghe's cultivation has now reached the early stage of the second-rate level, he has virtually no combat experience.
The combat simulator drawn from the system can simulate corresponding enemies in Chu Qinghe's mind and engage in combat according to his requirements.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Qinghe had an idea.
The next second, a system panel popped up in front of Chu Qinghe.
[Please select a simulation target; random/fixed simulation.]
After lingering on the option for a few moments, Chu Qinghe chose "Fixed Simulation".
Immediately afterwards, the system panel in front of me switched to a different display.
It actually asked Chu Qinghe to input the target's cultivation level, the level of the cultivation technique the target was practicing, and the level of the martial arts technique the target was practicing.
Especially in martial arts, different categories are further divided into palm techniques, sword techniques, fist techniques, and so on.
Chu Qinghe can choose any one of the options or select all of them.
After pondering for a moment, Chu Qinghe first set his cultivation level to the same level as himself, namely the early stage of the second rank, and then chose the upper-grade Heaven rank cultivation method and martial arts for the simulated object.
Then, select all the martial arts skills mastered by the simulated combat targets.
A real man does what he's best at.
After making the selection, a system notification popped up in front of Chu Qinghe.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully generating a fixed simulation object. Cultivation level: Early stage of second-rate; Cultivation technique: High-grade Heaven-rank; Cultivation martial arts: High-grade Heaven-rank palm technique, High-grade Heaven-rank lightness skill; Combat experience: Top-tier.]
[Do you want to start a simulated battle now?]
"Sure!"
As soon as Chu Qinghe confirmed the battle, he felt himself being pulled into a huge training arena that resembled a basketball court.
At the same time, on the opposite side of the training ground, a phantom quickly appeared and then flashed towards him.
Facing this illusory figure, Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow and used the lightness skill and martial arts he had just learned yesterday to rush directly towards the opponent.
Then, the next second, Chu Qinghe regained consciousness.
Chu Qinghe: "......."
Looking at the stove in front of him, Chu Qinghe was speechless.
"Too hasty!"
Having been completely outmatched in every way, when Chu Qinghe was about to make contact with his opponent, the illusory figure flashed past him and he was gone.
The speed was so fast that Chu Qinghe barely had a chance to react.
Although Chu Qinghe knew that the gap between himself and the simulated enemy would be huge.
But Chu Qinghe originally thought he could at least hold his own for a few moves.
Who would have thought that they would be instantly defeated like this?
After shaking his head, Chu Qinghe decisively adjusted the simulated object to have the same cultivation level, techniques, and martial arts, but with top-tier combat experience before starting the battle again.
This time, Chu Qinghe held on for about ten more breaths than before.
Reflecting on the battle just now, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, the difference between being experienced and being completely inexperienced is enormous!"
In martial arts combat, having experience and not having experience are definitely two different things.
In situations where martial artists are at the same level and possess equal strength, some experienced martial artists may even be able to control the rhythm of the battle, thereby achieving the effect of defeating or killing their opponents.
Just like the combat opponent that Chu Qinghe had simulated earlier, the power and speed of the attacks were similar to Chu Qinghe's.
However, the opponent's reaction was not only faster than Chu Qinghe's, but their attack was also particularly cunning.
Chu Qinghe even had a clear feeling that every step he took was exactly what the other party expected.
The difference is enormous.
After testing the combat simulator again, Chu Qinghe's interest grew even stronger.
It did give me the feeling of playing fighting games in a past life, except the feeling in this simulator was more realistic.
In Chu Qinghe's opinion, it was a good way to pass the time in his spare time.
However, glancing at the other things he had received from this sign-in session, Chu Qinghe sighed inwardly.
The martial arts skill I received from yesterday's check-in was only at the Xuan level.
This time, it's even better; they've sent a high-grade Yellow Rank item.
However, after three attempts, Chu Qinghe had basically confirmed the system's sign-in rewards for each day.
Basically, the lowest grade of gold is around 100 taels.
Moreover, the worst drug you get when you sign in is a century supply.
There will also be some special sign-in items.
It's like yesterday's intoxicating rouge and today's live-action simulator.
Overall, the difference in the value of the items compared to the first special sign-in is significant.
"It seems I still need to accumulate these check-ins and turn them into monthly check-ins."
After thinking it over, Chu Qinghe shook his head slightly and then selected battle simulation again.
