Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

Chapter 97: 97 The first simulation after the update

But since the money was spent, it’s natural to start the simulation.

[Second Day of the Great Turmoil: You went to the Directorate of Education early and found Gao Zheng and others. They thought you had spent a night of revelry there too. The so-called ’not knowing each other until fighting’, your strength was recognized by them. Since you all visited a brothel together, they acknowledged your identity as the Captain of Eastern Capital.

That day, you went to see Consort Jing again. Although she still said you couldn’t be together, your relationship deepened a bit, the more flirtatious you even ate a big white bun.]

[Third Day: You shuttled between Weiyang Palace, the Infantry Department, Jingru Palace, and Shenxiao Temple, a peaceful day.]

[Fourth Day: Through further emotional exchange with Consort Jing, you ate her food. Meanwhile, your relationship with the Empress and Noble Consort Fu Mao progressed rapidly.

Moreover, that night, you made a bowl of sweet dumplings for the Empress and explained the meaning of the dumplings to her, once again gaining her trust and favor. You moved closer and kissed the Empress, who with a reddened face, pushed you away.]

[Fifth Day: Wang Ying was still missing, so for the operation of Weiyang Palace, you took over his position, gaining your own small courtyard, along with the opportunity to select a palace maid of your own.]

[Sixth Day: Taking advantage of no one around, you held the Empress and kissed her. Although she resisted, under your assertiveness, she embraced you.

At the same time, she discovered you were not a eunuch but did not expose you, instead feeling somewhat happy.

That day, Huangfu Hao was recommended to lead troops to quell the rebellion, with an army from the Infantry Department accompanying him. You, through your relationship with the Empress, led the Eastern Capital to join him.]

[Seventh Day: Huangfu Hao led the cavalry, reaching Nanyang first.]

[Eighth Day: Relying on your strong cultivation talent, you broke through to Fifth Grade Martial Artist and arrived in Nanyang the same day.]

[Ninth Day: In the process of quelling the rebellion, in an abandoned Daoist temple, you found the first beauty of Nanyang, Luo Zhen, and took her in.]

[Tenth Day: You conquered a city.]

[Eleventh Day: Leading the Eastern Capital, you wiped out a rebel army of three thousand, earning Huangfu Hao’s admiration and a credit to your name.]

[Simulation ends, you may keep one of the following options.]

[One, the realm of Fifth Grade Martial Artist.]

[Two, ten days of martial arts experience.]

[Three, the exact location of Luo Zhen’s Daoist temple.]

Originally, Chen Mo felt at a loss because the Cultivation Simulator made him so fickle in the simulation.

But upon seeing the three options.

He suddenly felt immense joy.

The four thousand silver was worth it!

Without hesitation, Chen Mo chose One.

Among the three options, clearly, one was more cost-effective.

And through all the simulations, whether with Xiao Yunqi or Noble Consort Hu, these two were unreliable.

Only strength is the hard truth.

Only strength is the king’s way.

With Chen Mo choosing One.

The next moment, Chen Mo felt a warm current sweep through his whole body, his dantian expanded more than twice its capacity, able to store more True Qi.

The most crucial point is, although he was at Level One from system reward, his cultivation felt as if he advanced it himself, with no awkwardness or lack control over the strength of a Fifth Grade Martial Artist.

He had already stepped into the ranks of Fifth Grade Martial Artist.

Chen Mo was elated.

If things continue like this, before the Emperor breaks through to First Grade expert, perhaps I can achieve an advance breakthrough.

And if I can truly make a breakthrough to First Grade expert before then, I would have the capital to turn the tide.

But just when Chen Mo thought the situation had gotten better.

The system’s next prompt changed his expression.

[Today’s simulation attempts are used up.]

[Cooldown time 24 hours, next simulation, eight thousand silver. You may recharge in advance.]

What the heck!

Is this for real?

Fully doubled.

Chen Mo hurriedly checked the system’s update content.

[Daily simulation attempt once, each requiring a certain amount of money, and as the realm increases, the required money increases as well.]

Does this increase mean double?

Following this rule.

Doesn’t that mean I need sixteen thousand silver per simulation at Fourth Grade Martial Artist?

Damn it.

Even if I have silver, I can’t spend it like this, right?

As a worker in the Imperial Palace with meals and accommodation covered.

Originally Chen Mo had no financial crisis.

But now, he has one.

Although he got Wang Ying’s fortune.

But how long can that box of money last?

Isn’t this a product from the pig farm?

Even Tencent isn’t this ruthless!

Seems like I have a new goal.

Make money!

Make a lot of money.

Chen Mo took a deep breath and calmed down. Although this system is money-grubbing, it at least lets Chen Mo see hope for resolving the impending crisis.

...

After a night.

The east brightens.

Chen Mo no longer wore the eunuch’s uniform.

But changed into what he wore yesterday.

If wearing the eunuch’s uniform, he only has a third of readers’ attractiveness and charm.

This outfit now gives him two-thirds of it.

After washing up, Chen Mo made himself known at the Empress’s place and then swiftly headed for the Directorate of Education.

It was still early, Gao Zheng and the others hadn’t emerged yet, Chen Mo tidied up a bit and started waiting.

When Gao Zheng and the others came out of their room, Chen Mo, arm around a girl’s waist, also came out from a room, greeted Gao Zheng and the four from a distance.

”Sir, come back often!”

As they left the Directorate of Education, Xu Dabong still looked reluctant and said, ”The Directorate truly lives up to its name. Although its girls are not as skilled as those in other brothels, their innocent look, tsk, tsk, I just love that.”

Just after he said that.

There was a ’thwack’, Gao Zheng slapped Xu Dabong’s nape, and scolded, ”What nonsense are you talking about in front of the Captain?”

”I forgot, I forgot.” Xu Dabong rubbed his neck with a smile, then bowed to Chen Mo and said, ”Captain, I’m a rough man who loves to make these kinds of jokes, please don’t mind.”

”It’s alright, I, this Captain, love straightforward people like Commander Xu.” Chen Mo patted Xu Dabong’s shoulder and laughed.

Gao Zheng sighed in relief, while Xu Dabong, being unable to hide anything, immediately pledged, ”From now on, in the Eastern Capital of the Three Armies and Four Camps, I, Xu Dabong, will follow Captain Chen without question.”

After speaking, he remembered his previous words about driving away the New Captain, looking apologetically toward Gao Zheng.

Gao Zheng internally sighed, but also admired Chen Mo’s way of winning people’s hearts, at least he couldn’t invite them to the Directorate of Education.

Immediately, Gao Zheng cupped his fists toward Chen Mo, ”From now on, the few of us brothers, will work together with Captain Chen.”

Chen Mo laughed heartily, beginning to draw a vision for them.

As for Chen Mo’s vision.

Gao Zheng and the others were relatively convinced.

After all, he was personally appointed by Marshal Xiao.

This indicates his relationships are not ordinary.

The few of us following him to work together.

Means we have someone above us from now on.

This reason is also why they chose to follow Chen Mo.
