Alright, so that’s how we’re playing this, huh? Chen Pingchuan thought, feeling as if he had returned to his youth. As a quick-draw artist, the number one rule is to be fast! I didn’t even last a week in the simulation. I attended a drinking party, waited for a few days, and then it was just endless battles until I finally died of exhaustion. Anyone who knew what happened would know I was fighting the Insect Race, but anyone who didn’t might have thought I was out having the time of my life.

Still, it was a good run. The haul was impressive. A gleam flashed in Chen Pingchuan’s eyes as his lips parted slightly.

”Don’t solidify anything. Exchange for the Mutation skill and inherit the body state.”

[Ding! 100,000 Simulation Value deducted. Silver-rank skill, Mutation, has been acquired.]

[Ding! 200 Simulation Value deducted. The strongest body state from this simulation has been inherited.]

As Chen Pingchuan finished speaking, a peculiar sensation suddenly bloomed within him.

The next second, he commanded, ”Mutate the Parasite skill.”

[Ding! Mutation successful. The Purple-rank, Dark-type skill ”Parasite” has been successfully mutated. The mutated skill is now the Silver-rank, Light-type talent ”Symbiosis”!]

[Display skill details page?]

”Huh!” he exclaimed in surprise. ”Expand.” Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ????????????????????⁂????????????????⁂????????????

[Ding! Symbiosis talent details are as follows:]

Symbiosis: A Silver-rank, Light-type talent. This skill possesses a unique life form and can generate one golden Symbiotic Spirit per week. (Generation Rate: 1 Symbiotic Spirit/week).

By implanting the Symbiotic Spirit into a target’s body, a soul link can be achieved.

Effect 1: Life Sharing (Two-way)

The host and the target’s maximum health will both be set to the average of their original individual maximums. The host can close this life-sharing channel at any time. Connects up to two life units simultaneously.

Effect 2: Ability Complementation (One-way)

The host can temporarily inherit any single physical attribute, skill, or talent from the target. The effect cannot exceed the upper limits of either party. The host can also temporarily lend one of their own attributes, talents, or skills to the target. Connects up to one life unit.

Effect 3: Damage Diversion (Multi-channel)

When the host takes damage, this effect can be activated. The symbiotic targets will then take half of the damage effect meant for the host until they die. This applies to all forms of damage, not limited to physical or mental attacks. The maximum number of connections is determined by the number of targets.

Effect 4: Mental Link (Multi-channel)

The host can mentally communicate with targets, understanding their thoughts and feelings without words. They can also slowly probe a target’s true thoughts, though this requires close observation and consumes a certain amount of time and energy. The host can also sense the location of the targets from a distance. Maximum of ten connected units.

PS: Once the symbiotic seed is planted, it binds deeply to the target’s soul. Even if the target moves far away from the host, they cannot escape its influence. If a target attempts to forcibly break the connection, they will suffer a soul-level backlash. The damage from this backlash is proportional to the intensity of their struggle.

Looking at the dense wall of text, Chen Pingchuan clicked his tongue in admiration. Worthy of a Silver Flash skill you only get once a month. Compared to what I had before, this is an absolute win. It may not have the undying characteristic anymore, but its flaws have been eliminated. From now on, I’ll get a new, powerful skill or talent every month. It’s just as they say: the longer it takes, the stronger I become!

Chen Pingchuan felt his luck was running hot today, so he didn’t stop. Time to continue the simulation. This time, I have to find a way out. The only shame is that I can’t take the treasures from my vault with me, but they’re not important compared to my life. After all, I can always earn back what I’ve lost.

”Continue the simulation!” he commanded. ”Activate time acceleration.”

[Ding! 1,680 Simulation Value deducted. Remaining Simulation Value: 1,232,042. Remaining Simulation Attempts: 1.]

[Enter simulation?]

[Yes] [No]

”Enter simulation! Yes!”

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! Your profound fortune has earned you the favor of a mysterious spatial power. You have obtained the skill: Unstable Space Travel (Silver Flash)!]

BANG!

A loud noise echoed through the room, startling awake even the other prisoners on the same floor. They immediately started shouting and cursing.

”Who’s so damn inconsiderate? It’s the middle of the night! Won’t you let people sleep?”

Meanwhile, a grin spread across Chen Pingchuan’s face.

Today is another energetic day.
