Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 1: 1 Cultivation Simulator

”My golden finger has finally arrived!”

Chen Mo was tearful, yet without tears.

That’s right, he is a transmigrator, as a fortune-teller once said he was full of evil qi, destined for a killing catastrophe.

Two days ago, for no apparent reason, his soul transmigrated to the Canglan Continent, into a person with the same name in the Great Song Dynasty, a fake eunuch.

It’s said to be a fake eunuch because the original host had a twin brother who looked identical, and their height and voice were almost the same, and sometimes even their parents would mix them up.

Recently, the original host’s hometown was hit by a flood, and his parents died, the entire village was submerged, only Chen Mo survived by chance.

When the original host’s brother serving as a eunuch in the Imperial Palace learned about this, he took leave to go home for the funeral.

Unexpectedly, less than a day after the funeral was completed, the original host’s eunuch brother got sick and passed away hastily.

Before he died, the original host’s brother boasted about the wonderful life in the Imperial Palace and said he was now serving the Empress.

The Empress was kind-hearted and treated him well, and so on...

Thus, the original host impulsively, after handling the funeral of his parents and brother, swapped into his brother’s clothes and, as if controlled by fate, entered the Imperial Palace as a fake eunuch.

No one knew if the original host was infected or something else, but three days ago he had a fever and sweated. The original host, not wanting others to know he was a fake eunuch, didn’t say anything, took a few days off, concocted a remedy, and treated himself.

In the end, he couldn’t resist and passed away two days ago.

And now, Chen Mo occupies the magpie’s nest.

When he grasped all the memories of the original host, Chen Mo broke out in a cold sweat in fear.

What an amazing guy.

The original host was unusually courageous.

Daring to impersonate his brother to be a fake eunuch in the Imperial Palace.

A eunuch serving the Empress.

If discovered, beheading would be the least of his worries.

This could implicate nine generations.

He must have been really brave.

Oh, everyone is gone, so it’s okay.

Besides, Chen Mo remembered once reading a news article online, saying that in ancient times, eunuchs had to undergo a physical examination once a year, called ”pure verification,” and if anything grew back, it had to be cut again.

Therefore, even if Chen Mo could hide this usually, it wouldn’t last.

You might dodge for a while, but not forever.

So, these past two days, Chen Mo lived in agony, constantly worried about his identity being exposed.

Luckily, now the system has arrived.

Anyone who has read novels knows that possessing a system represents ascending to the peak of life, marrying a rich beautiful woman, it’s just a matter of time.

Thinking about the wonderful life that is about to arrive.

Chen Mo excitedly hurried to check the system.

[Ding! Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[Great turmoil countdown: 9 days 23 hours 58 minutes 51 seconds.]

[Do you want to start Immortal Cultivation Simulation?]

”???

Three question marks immediately appeared on Chen Mo’s forehead.

This system is not right.

Shouldn’t there be an attribute panel, then ask me to open a newbie gift pack?

What’s Cultivation Simulator?

Is it that web mini-game?

The name Chen Mo seemed somewhat familiar.

And great turmoil?

But at such a critical moment, Chen Mo didn’t have time to dwell on these issues, and immediately chose to start.

[Ding, Immortal Cultivation Simulation has started.]

[Current selectable talents: Master of Civil Works, Master of Celibacy, Golden Finger, Charm Expert...]

[Please choose three of the above talents for the Immortal Cultivation Simulation.]

Chen Mo felt a surge of interest.

Turns out it’s a gaming-style golden finger.

No one understands this better than I do.

From the ten talents offered, Chen Mo chose three.

[Master of Civil Works (Purple): IQ 250, able to detect the other’s realm cultivation.]

[Master of Celibacy (Orange): To achieve divine skill, must first self-castrate. After self-castration, cultivation techniques and martial arts have a doubled effect, and training speed is super doubled.]

[Charm Expert (Purple): Increase in attractiveness, charisma super doubled.]

Talents have different colors, namely blue, purple, orange, and gold, with blue being the lowest and gold the highest.

Since it’s a gaming-style golden finger, Chen Mo naturally picked the best talents.

As for whether he self-castrates or not, it doesn’t matter, it’s simulation.

[Selection complete, simulation starts.]

[First Day: Great turmoil arrives, uprisings arise throughout the Great Song Dynasty, heaven is dead, Yellow Heaven shall stand. You’re in the Imperial Palace, the safest place in the Great Song Dynasty, planning to develop secretly and then astonish everyone.]

[Second Day: You were exceptionally promoted by the Empress from Third-Class Eunuch to First-Class Eunuch.]

[Third Day: A palace maid accidentally discovered your affair with the Empress, you died.]

[Ding! This Immortal Cultivation Simulation has ended: You may permanently retain one talent, solidifying it in the real world.]

[The Cultivation Simulator enters cooldown, simulation days this time: Three days. Cooldown time: Thirty minutes.]

Chen Mo’s expression was dazed.

A bit stunned.

Whoa, big whoa.

An affair with the Empress.

Though the simulator only used a single sentence to express his consequence.

Yet thinking about it, putting a green hat on the Emperor, being quartered would be lenient.

Chen Mo instinctively shivered.

This must be the effect of the Charm Expert talent.

But I must say, this talent is indeed remarkable.

In just a few days, it managed to lure the Empress into risking her head to have ambiguity with a ”eunuch” like him.

Yet holy cow notwithstanding.

Seeing the simulator’s prompt allowing retention of a talent, solidifying it in reality, Chen Mo’s heart was racing.

This is the true function of the golden finger.

Chen Mo checked the details.

It’s simple.

Firstly, he can, every time a simulation ends, choose a talent to solidify into reality, and the talent will also be included in the next simulation and won’t occupy selectable talent slots.

Secondly, he can simulate countless times a day but can only solidify one talent into reality.

However, before choosing, he can lock what he deems a good talent, and replace it if a better one appears afterwards, but in that day’s time, he must choose one, or it will be considered abandoned.

After reading this, Chen Mo immediately became excited.

If every day I refine one golden talent and bring it out, ten days later, I’ll possess ten golden talents, wouldn’t that directly make me ’Wuhu’!

He saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

He pondered for a while.

He first locked the Master of Civil Works talent.

Master of Celibacy requires self-castration.

As a man, if that thing is gone, no matter how strong, what’s the point?

As for Charm Expert, it’s too troublesome.

Even the Empress couldn’t resist, and he is still in the harem, not to mention hooking up with the concubines, even an affair with a palace maid is a capital crime.

Even ten heads wouldn’t be enough to chop off.

Besides, the original host’s looks are already considered superior, it’s enough.

Because he’s still taking time off, Chen Mo didn’t rush to go to work, and after thirty minutes of cooldown ended, continued to simulate.
