Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?! Chapter 2 What Are These Underworld Talents?
Previously on Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!...
Gazing upon the script of his life.
Lu Yuan wrinkled his forehead deeply.
The martial arts dojo got seized, his clan wiped out, and he escaped overseas.
He couldn't even reach maturity.
This trial run turned into a brush with doom.
Right as he wrestled with a throbbing head, another notification chimed in.
[New users to the simulator get a random talent draw; do you wish to proceed?]
"What's a simulation talent?"
Lu Yuan let out a breath of ease.
These abilities vary from feeble to mighty, graded from F up to S.
Higher ranks bring greater potency.
Take those fortunate souls who snag an S-grade—they can overturn destiny and harvest massive gains effortlessly.
Should he pull a solid opener, this trial's challenges would drop sharply.
Yet upon viewing his Talent Card selection.
He stood there stunned.
[Blossoming Wealth (C-level): The tongue of steel wool blooms speaks of endurance and riches. As a male, you'll draw extra fondness from elder women.]
[King of Kings (D-level)]: Boost your work pace by 50%, though the endless rivalry wears you down, cutting life by 50 years.
[CPU Master (C-level)]: You shine in performance, grasp folks' psyches, and wield words to sway and dominate others for your gain.
[Brother Fu V50 (D-level)]: Post this line anywhere in comments, and some random online stranger must wire you fifty dollars. (Capped at ten daily uses)]
"What kind of twisted abilities are these?"
Lu Yuan's eyelids kept jumping.
Gifts might stay real but never this infernal.
So what's up with this pool?
Every single one's a freakish pick!
The sole practical choice is [Brother Fu V50].
Ten pulls daily mean 500 dollars.
That's lounging idle for 15k monthly?
Straight-up compelling web users to pay up.
No risk of getting busted?
With the timer ticking down.
Lu Yuan clenched his jaw and picked a draw despite his reluctance.
[Selecting talent...]
[Alert! Glitch detected in sim rebirth!]
[Fixing... Talent Card Pool refreshed!]
[You've snagged the sole secret gift: Adaptive Talent!]
[Assessing the gift...]
[Provisionally classed as: Divine Level]
[Adaptive Talent]: Upon diving into a mock existence, this gift shifts to fit the sim perfectly.
Divine Level?
Lu Yuan drew in a sharp breath.
From what he recalled, S-grades topped the charts.
Divine ones were mere myths, never seen in reality!
Is this the overdue cheat code for cross-world jumpers?
[Adaptive Talent triggered...]
[Well done—in this round, you gain the Divine Level Talent [Heaven Rewards Diligence]]
[Heaven Rewards Diligence: Each toil yields a hundred times the fruit. Inhaling builds your power. Sticking to a task brings surprise boons! (Lasts 10s, toggleable.)]
[Info: This gift drains vitality heavily; runtime ties to stamina. Tougher frame means extended use.]
As the alert rang out.
A gleaming gold talent card materialized before Lu Yuan.
Golden epic?
Ecstasy surged through Lu Yuan.
Even an S-grade lets one rewrite fate and seize control.
Kicking off with Divine grade? He'd soar right away!
Dojo mismanaged, on the brink of collapse?
Me, a child prodigy in combat skills from age three!
Inviting foes in, losing family fortune?
I'll forge the Way via fists, unbeatable across eras!
Whatever top fighter, whatever Red Lotus Sect.
Dare mess with me? One smash ends them!
"This round, no way will old horrors replay!"
Lu Yuan's eyes burned with resolve.
[Talent applied.]
[Overly strong gift found; sim challenge bumped to Hell Level!]
[Mock rebirth commences now!]
Scarce moments after the message.
Lu Yuan barely had a second to think.
His mind shot upward swiftly, landing in a fresh realm.
...
Year 2123.
Qian Nation, the capital.
Inside one medical center.
With a sharp, ringing wail.
An infant lad entered the realm.
"Mr. Lu, Madam Lin, felicitations—it's a son!"
The nurse cradled the plump newborn boy, eagerly sharing the joyful tidings.
"Wonderful, the Lu lineage gains its successor!"
"Xue'er, see this—his nose, those eyes, like a perfect mold of yours."
Lu Yuan's dad gently accepted the child, joy spilling over his features.
"Hush now, don't startle him."
Lu Yuan's mom softly scolded.
"Hey, we still need a name for him."
"The martial path is tough and burdensome; great duties await—call him Lu Yuan."
"He seems clever; he'll no doubt elevate Lu's Martial Arts Hall ahead!"
Lu Zhengming chuckled broadly.
Yet recalling the dojo's plight, his grin soured slightly.
Catching his laid-back father's words.
Lu Yuan rested in his wrappings, mind sharpening.
Each rebirth realm holds its unique Heavenly Dao intent.
Still, the cosmic Will shapes all such worlds.
Like matching names across lives—it's bound to happen.
Plus, his household setup here looks promising.
Way superior to orphan origins.
At the same time.
Lu Yuan mulled over coming strategies inwardly.
Per the life outline's path.
A chill would strike him at age one, planting a lasting weakness.
By three.
Lu clan's dojo flunked its review.
Desperate, Lu Zhengming offloaded key holdings to bring in a peak Internal Force master for a turnaround.
That sparked the whole catastrophe.
To halt the repeat downfall, Lu Yuan had to alter those two factors.
Beyond that.
The Hell difficulty loomed darkly in Lu Yuan's thoughts.
From his knowledge.
Starter sim challenges.
Tend toward easy or standard.
Rarely.
Touching Hard mode.
"Just how potent is [Heaven Rewards Diligence]?"
On that note, Lu Yuan quietly switched on the gift while his folks were away.
[Breath finished—lungs and heart bolstered!]
[Wail done—body state mildly upgraded!]
[Tiny pee accomplished—your mini tool faintly empowered!]
[Vitality spent; gift time expired.]
Notifications flooded in abruptly.
Amid Lu Yuan's slack-jawed stare.
A cozy flow rose inside, wrapping him in soothing warmth, like bathing in a thermal pool.
Even his mini tool felt a tad larger?
Toil once, harvest a hundredfold.
Who knew a Divine gift worked this way?
