Chapter 1: I Bound the Cultivation Simulator

Daxia Kingdom, Capital City.

The highest institution of learning, Capital Vocational University, in a certain male dormitory.

[Ding~]

A sudden voice appeared in Su Xing's mind as he woke up.

Su Xing, who was packing his gear and preparing to go to a dungeon to farm gold, froze in place.

"Who? Who's pranking me?"

Su Xing looked around the empty dormitory but found nothing.

But then, a series of voices echoed in Su Xing's mind.

[Binding the Life Simulator...]

[Binding successful!]

[Host: Su Xing]

[Age: 21]

[Occupation: Cultivator]

[Simulation Times: 1]

[Energy: 100]

[Introduction: The Life Simulator will simulate your future based entirely on your development trajectory in the real world. After the simulation, you will receive partial rewards. Each simulation will consume a certain amount of energy. The number of simulation times refreshes weekly.]

Su Xing rubbed his eyes and looked at the virtual panel in front of him in disbelief.

Then, two lines of text appeared on the panel.

[Do you want to start the simulation?]

[Yes][No]

Looking at the panel, Su Xing's eyes suddenly reddened.

"Three years! Do you know how I've been living these past three years?"

"Damn, I thought I was a穿越者 without any special abilities!"

Indeed, Su Xing was a穿越者, having transmigrated to this wondrous world three years ago.

Unlike the Earth of his previous life, in this world, games had descended into reality.

Monsters, dungeons, items, and equipment were everywhere...

More astonishingly, everyone could choose a profession at the age of eighteen, gaining experience by killing dungeon monsters and thus becoming stronger.

Three years ago, when Su Xing first transmigrated, he awakened as the only hidden profession, a Cultivator!

This news caused a sensation in the entire capital, and Su Xing was directly recruited into one of the highest institutions of learning in the country, Capital Vocational University!

At the beginning, Su Xing's performance was indeed outstanding. Relying on the strong physical attributes of a Cultivator, he quickly stood out among the freshmen.

But soon, Su Xing discovered a fatal problem: he couldn't level up!

Other professionals could gain experience points by killing dungeon monsters.

But no matter how hard Su Xing tried to kill monsters and level up, he couldn't gain even a single experience point.

Three years passed.

Now, as a senior, his classmates had grown from Bronze level to Silver, Gold, and even higher...

But he was still a mere First Stage Qi Cultivator.

But Su Xing was not willing to give up. He frantically searched for ways to level up and finally found a solution.

That was to strengthen his body!

Since he couldn't cultivate Qi, he would train his physique!

So Su Xing went crazy, farming dungeons for equipment to sell, even taking freshmen to dungeons to level up.

He then used the money earned to buy dungeon items that could enhance his physique.

Finally, after three years, he went from First Stage Body Strengthening to Sixth Stage Body Strengthening.

Sixth Stage Body Strengthening, with strength reaching several thousand pounds, sounded impressive.

But in actual combat, it was even inferior to a Level 30 Strength-type professional.

But Su Xing did not give up. He continued to farm dungeons for gold and proxy leveling, constantly training his physique.

Memories of the past flashed before his eyes. Su Xing, with an excited heart and trembling hands, muttered:

"Start the simulation!"

[100 energy points consumed, remaining simulation times: 0.]

[Simulation started!]

[This talent draw is free, random talent drawing in progress...]

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining a white talent, Spirit Root Holder!]

[Spirit Root Holder]: White talent. Your roots are extraordinary, allowing you to embark on the path of cultivation.

Su Xing was stunned when he saw this talent.

Could it be that he couldn't cultivate all these years because he had the profession but lacked the spirit root, preventing him from advancing in Qi cultivation?

Suppressing his doubts, Su Xing chose to continue the simulation.

[In the dormitory, you awakened your golden finger, and you were very happy.]

[That afternoon, a few freshmen invited you to take them to a dungeon to level up, and you happily agreed.]

[You performed bravely in the Bronze-level dungeon. After clearing the dungeon, you obtained several white items and a reward of 10,000 yuan.]

[One of the freshmen was short on money and wanted to pay in another (ruta) way.]

[You looked at the freshman's face and agreed.]

[The next day, you started cultivating with a clear mind, but you didn't know where to start.]

[You began searching online for Qi cultivation techniques and found a shocking technique called "Pangu Creation Technique"!]

[You were overjoyed and started cultivating.]

[After a day of cultivation, your cultivation did not improve, and you almost cultivated to the point of岔气.]

[Undeterred, you continued to cultivate day and night.]

[After a month, your Qi cultivation was still at the First Stage.]

[You realized that the cultivation techniques online were all scams!]

[So you started spending a lot of money to acquire cultivation techniques, but you only got a bunch of cheap items from a certain online marketplace.]

[With no choice, you could only continue to train your physique.]

[Seeing this, Su Xing felt a chill in his heart. Without cultivation techniques, how could he cultivate?]

[Su Xing sighed and continued the simulation.]

[You did not give up, training your physique while searching for cultivation techniques.]

[In your spare time, you often took freshmen to level up, earning money while also getting close to them.]

[Good times didn't last long. After half a year, the freshman broke through to become a Silver-level professional and cut off contact with you.]

[On a peaceful afternoon, the wind was noisy, and you found her.]

[You asked her: I thought with our friendship, we could talk about feelings. She told you: It was just a business deal.]

[Your self-esteem was hurt, and you turned your sorrow into strength, training hard for half a year. Your Body Strengthening finally broke through to the Seventh Stage.]

[By this time, it was nearing graduation. Your classmates of the same year had all become famous professionals, but you lacked the strength to graduate.]

[You were held back a year, but you were secretly happy because the new freshmen had already enrolled, and you continued to take them to level up.]

[Gradually, you became famous. All the new students knew there was a senior who had been held back and was very good at taking freshmen to level up.]

[You reaped great benefits, accumulating tens of millions of assets in three years!]

[Seeing this, Su Xing stroked his chin and muttered:]

"If I keep being held back, it's not bad! At least there will always be new freshmen..."

[But then Su Xing's expression changed.]

[You originally thought life would continue like this.]

[Unfortunately, because you failed to graduate for five consecutive years, you were expelled.]

[After being expelled, you lost your main source of income. Due to your low strength, you could only frequent Bronze-level dungeons.]

[You resolved to train your physique harder.]

[You spent two years, using up all your savings, to reach the Eighth Stage of Body Strengthening.]

[Seeing this, Su Xing felt very bitter. He didn't expect Body Strengthening to be so difficult.]

[It took him three years to go from the First Stage to the Sixth Stage of Body Strengthening,]

[But in the future, it took him seven years to go from the Sixth Stage to the Eighth Stage.]

[Su Xing patiently continued reading.]

[With no money, you had to return to your old job, farming dungeons for gold.]

[You were still sharp, and at the Eighth Stage of Body Strengthening, you were invincible in Bronze-level dungeons, accumulating tens of millions of assets.]

[One day, your parents told you that your sister, Su Nian'an, had died...]
