Chapter 1: Time Travel, Simulation!



(Would you release a zombie to eat your brain? (ˉ?ˉ?))

(The early part of this book is all about martial arts; it will move on to high-level martial arts later on.)

(The main character is quite cautious and only plays in one-sided matches.)

(A mix of humorous and abstract elements, with some minor enemies turning into comedic characters later on, while true enemies are finally defeated.)

In the 269th year of the Daqing era, in Beichuan County, outside Qingcheng, by Qinghu Lake.

In the early morning, Yun Shou opened his eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have grown another year older. Your foundation has increased by 1%, bringing your current growth rate to 14%]

A warm current surged through his body, and the boy suddenly felt full of energy and his body felt much lighter.

This is the cheat code he brought with him when he transmigrated. Its function is "foundation enhancement," and the effect he feels so far is that it makes his body a little healthier.

only……

"God, since you've already given me a life, can't you at least give me a good family?"

Yun Shou silently questioned the heavens.

The cheat is very strong! That's true. For those martial artists who roam the world and those grandmasters who are famous throughout the land, they would rather go bankrupt than not make their foundation even 1% stronger!

However, Yun Shou was just a fisherman's son.

His family was so poor that all they had left was a boat, which was capsized by a strong wind when he was twelve years old.

His parents capsized with the boat, and he clung to a piece of broken wood, drifting in the water for a day and a half before being rescued by other passing fishermen.

After being soaked in the water for a day and a half, his vital energy was greatly depleted. In addition, he had never been able to eat his fill since birth. So even with the addition of this 14% foundation, he was still not as good as the children from wealthy families of the same age!

Two years after his parents died, he signed a contract of servitude with the Qinghe Gang, which controlled the water transport business near Qinghu Lake, selling himself to the Qinghe Gang for the next twenty years. With the help of a few fishermen, he was able to live peacefully until today.

Otherwise, they would have starved to death long ago.

"It's another day of going out fishing." Yun Shou looked at the sky. Qinghu Lake, which is said to be eight hundred li in circumference, is practically a sea. He could not see the end of the lake at all.

"That damned Qinghe Gang, they use child labor," he muttered under his breath. Luckily, the weather was nice today, so he figured they wouldn't encounter any wind or rain.

"Little Shou, be careful today too," a middle-aged fisherman nearby said with concern.

Yun Shou nodded: "Yes, thank you, Uncle Ji."

After signing the indenture, it was Uncle Ji who took him fishing for a year; otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now without any experience.

As Yun Shou stepped onto the small boat, he was about to untie the reins.

Suddenly, my brain jolted!

A message popped up.

[Ding! The Waste Simulator has been installed]

Yun Shou: "???"

This simulator can be used once a day, but each startup will deplete 1% of your core energy, hence the name "Body-Waste Simulator".

Yun Shou: "Ah... this means I can only use it once a year?"

After each simulation, you can choose to inherit one of the following two options:

1. Martial Arts Cultivation

2. Memorize in detail

[Phew... Data changed, updated.]

The system suddenly froze, startling Yun Shou, but the familiar content quickly reappeared.

After each simulation, you can choose one of the following three options to inherit:

1. Detailed memory (excluding martial arts memories, nothing is missing)

2. Martial arts cultivation (including martial arts memory, muscle memory, etc.)

3. Foundation for Growth

Yun Shou was stunned.

"What does it mean to have a selectable growth base after simulation? No, it means system."

Originally, this "disabled body simulator" seemed to be really useless. An ordinary person could only use it to simulate the simulator 99 times at most. Even if they became a grandmaster after 99 times, they would only have 1% of their foundation left, and their strength might not even be as good as an ordinary person!

Moreover, who knows if one's foundation will affect their aptitude for martial arts and their lifespan!

But now, combining the two seems to have created a huge bug!

Without further ado, he immediately began the simulation!

"Give me a meteoric rise to the heavens, and I will become a martial artist!"

"I've come to visit you, my simulated self!"

[Ding! Foundation -1%, current foundation 113%]

[In the 269th year of Daqing, you blinked, realizing you had entered a simulation.]

Unfortunately, you'll find that a second simulation cannot be performed within the current simulation.

[To achieve your goal of surviving beyond the simulation, you decide to continue working as a child laborer fisherman until you can barely survive for a year and recoup your investment!]

[In the 270th year of Daqing, your main strategy this year has been stability. You were reluctant to set sail even in the face of slightly larger storms, and finally managed to survive until age 15, with your foundation increasing by 1% to reach 114%.]

In the 271st year of Daqing, the old fisherman Wang, who had once helped you, passed away. His son cried bitterly, but instead of using the gifts from nearby fishermen for his burial, he carried out a "water burial" in the lake.

Six months later, Old Wang's son used the funeral money to get married.

In the 272nd year of the Daqing era, you were still fishing, but as your skills and experience improved, you were not only able to support yourself but also save a small amount of copper coins.

In the 273rd year of Daqing, the wife of Uncle Ji, who had helped you, gave birth to a daughter, but you heard that the daughter was left behind by a young swordsman who was on a boat.

You wanted to comfort Uncle Ji, but his face showed no sadness whatsoever; he and his wife were happily holding their daughter.

Yun Shou: "..."

He knew that these "ancient" fishermen sometimes also worked as boatmen to ferry people, and many boats had "boat wives" who were the boatmen's wives but also provided sexual services.

But the boatman wouldn't feel ashamed; on the contrary, he would be delighted to have a better "seed," since the child was fake, but the family affection was real.

Although you completely disagree with this viewpoint, you don't despise Uncle Ji. Poor people have their own way of life, and you, who grew up relying on him, have no right to criticize them.
