Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 591: One Second Simulation, Golden Finger’s Gift Method_1

"Has the simulation started?" Wang Linchi keenly noticed the changes in Bai Xuan and investigated immediately. The very next moment, Bai Xuan returned to his normal state.

It wasn't that he had noticed Wang Linchi's scrutiny, but rather that the character he was simulating had died, the modification had failed, and thus he had returned. Simulations always started from scratch. This, combined with the typically high death rate in simulator-type systems, meant the initial mortality was extremely high for anyone without a thorough understanding of the plot. He often died over minor issues.

Has the flow rate between the two worlds become problematic again? Or is it due to some spacetime factor? Wang Linchi noticed that no matter how long Bai Xuan spent in the other world, his return to this one was instantaneous, a mere second, not a duration scaled by any flow rate. It shouldn't be an issue with the world's temporal flow, but rather with Bai Xuan's Simulator System.

It seems Bai Xuan needs to run a few more simulations to get the hang of it. Wang Linchi felt that Bai Xuan was really throwing himself into this. Although Wang Linchi couldn't see how Bai Xuan died within the Simulator System, he could perceive changes and differences in him through data monitoring.

Save, write, overwrite, and finally, the alteration is formed. Through Bai Xuan's simulations, Wang Linchi was gathering firsthand data on the Simulator System.

So, he isn't actually entering the End of Law World each time. Instead, he runs multiple simulations, only truly entering on the final attempt.

How does the Simulator System read my data? Wang Linchi mused. Given my unique situation, even the Heroic Spirit System doesn't have my personal data, let alone this Simulator System. In the grand scheme of world systems, the Heroic Spirit System is undoubtedly more advanced than the Simulator System. If the Heroic Spirit System can't obtain my data, on what basis could the Simulator System?

No, that's not right. The Simulator System most likely can't read my data directly either. It probably reads environmental data and uses that to generate secondary, extrapolated data, rather than my actual, direct data.

That would explain why I couldn't perceive any temporal changes in the End of Law World. Here, in this world, he could actually sense it. Each time Bai Xuan overwrote the End of Law World, the Heroic Spirit World was synchronously overwritten. After all, the two worlds were linked; any action from Bai Xuan would inevitably cause a corresponding butterfly effect. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He isn't actually changing time; he's just rewriting and overwriting history... Though, thinking about it, that's not much different from altering a timeline. It might even be more cost-effective than changing a timeline.

Wang Linchi wasn't entirely sure if the Simulator System's alteration ability was temporal in nature, mainly because he hadn't detected any time-related fluctuations. Such changes might exist but could have already occurred in the past—perhaps even before he arrived in this world. If so, how could he have perceived them? His sensitivity to time was rooted in the present, not the past or future.

This thing is rather interesting. Wang Linchi increasingly desired to obtain the Simulator System's core data and technology. However, he was still on the periphery, unable to penetrate its core. It seemed he lacked sufficient causality. Bai Xuan was, after all, a protagonist. How could one expect to delve into a protagonist's Golden Finger with just a few minor favors? This wasn't some transmigration novel where the villain could easily turn the original protagonist into a clown.

The seventh Heroic Spirit... given his current high-intensity simulation rate, he should complete it in five days at most. I need to give him something significant, something that will indebt him with a substantial amount of causality. Wang Linchi pondered what gift would be suitable.

Bai Xuan had a rather difficult personality. If a man showed him kindness, especially sustained kindness, Bai Xuan was liable to take it for granted. Consequently, he had very few male companions; after one or two attempts at friendship or assistance, most men gave up on him. However, excluding those who deliberately tried to set him up with women, if other women offered him small, inexpensive tokens of goodwill, Bai Xuan would often give a wry smile and remark, "Favors from beautiful women are the hardest to repay." The double standard was striking.

He would then naturally try to curry favor, but he did so with a measured approach, never overcommitting himself and always maintaining his rationality. Unfortunately for Bai Xuan, dealing with Wang Linchi was different. It wasn't a matter of simply accepting gifts; if a favor wasn't returned, the debt of causality remained. Others certainly didn't operate under such principles. They weren't bound by rules or laws like causality, so if they gave something to Bai Xuan and he simply took it without reciprocation, they would indeed be at a significant loss.

He's used up his attempts for today. I wonder how much progress he's made. Wang Linchi observed Bai Xuan quickly cease his simulations for the day. The Summoning Medium used for simulations had a limited number of uses, and the simulator itself had a daily usage cap. Wang Linchi estimated this to be around ten attempts per day. The quality of the Summoning Medium Bai Xuan was using for the simulations also dictated its maximum uses, which Wang Linchi guessed was between fifty and sixty times, though he couldn't be certain and could only estimate. Therefore, it would take Bai Xuan roughly five to six days to complete all the necessary simulations.

Bai Xuan naturally hoped to summon a Heroic Spirit of Unparalleled Quality. However, achieving this within a limited number of attempts was no easy feat. In any given era, only a handful of individuals could produce something of Unparalleled Quality. This scarcity underscored how extraordinary the achievement was. Even if one could rely on save files to explore different paths, the number of reloads was finite. If Bai Xuan simply kept fumbling around, he might exhaust all his attempts before reaching the desired quality.

However, even if there are fifty or sixty chances on paper, in reality, he probably only has about ten truly viable ones. Wang Linchi knew the Simulator System's usual tricks too well. The initial dozens of attempts would inevitably lead Bai Xuan through all sorts of deaths and misfortunes, ostensibly to "motivate" him. It was the kind of terrible luck where one might choke even on cool water. Only after Bai Xuan had fumbled around enough and was nearing a breakthrough would the System start providing relevant information, guiding him to a perfect success on the very last attempt. This was all a classic setup, designed to make him succeed precisely when his chances were about to run out. If it happened once or twice, it might be a coincidence. But for it to happen every time? Wang Linchi didn't buy that it was accidental; it was more likely deliberate manipulation.

Let me think... what kind of gift would generate enough causality? Wang Linchi began to ponder. Awakening Materials definitely wouldn't be enough. Bai Xuan could acquire those himself; it was merely a matter of time.

A Golden Finger! Wang Linchi instantly knew what the best gift would be. I remember the Reincarnation Seal had abilities like Proficiency, attribute/skill point allocation, and the 'One Certificate Forever' feature. If I give him a Skill Enhancement System that can also be applied to Heroic Spirits, that should certainly generate enough causality. Ideally, it should also function as a plug-in to further monitor the Simulator System he possesses.

Creating this Skill Enhancement System wouldn't be too difficult. The real challenge lay in how to make it bypass the Simulator System's firewall. After all, this was an intervention targeting Bai Xuan. The Simulator System's detection protocols would undoubtedly scrutinize it. If it failed this inspection, forget the firewall; the System might directly execute an anti-virus procedure. If that happened, he'd be trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used as bait—the whole plan would backfire spectacularly.

「...」

Dead again. Every new start is so difficult, Bai Xuan sighed, looking at the notification that he had reached his simulation limit for the day. Hasn't Boss Wang sent anything over today? It was only then that Bai Xuan realized he had grown accustomed to Wang Linchi's occasional gifts. While he found them somewhat irksome, he had accepted them nonetheless. Acceptance, however, didn't mean approval.

His Heroic Spirits weren't at home; they had gone to the Spacetime Rift to continue gathering Awakening Materials. He had planned to go as well but had been tied up with the simulations. Even though each simulation attempt was brief, the Spacetime Rift was a battlefield. What if something went wrong while he was preoccupied?

Looks like nothing has been sent over yet. I need to find a way to refuse him next time; I can't keep accepting these things. Bai Xuan knew that if he kept freely accepting items, it would be very awkward to refuse if Wang Linchi asked for a favor in the future. With the Simulator System in his possession, he was destined to become the strongest Summoner. There was no need to incur unnecessary debts of gratitude, especially since he already owed favors to several beauties.

Of course, he didn't particularly care about the "favors" from 'Wang Xianyu.' Although the gifts were more valuable than those from the beauties, what mattered in gift-giving was the sentiment, not the value. If the giver had ulterior motives, no matter how valuable the gift, there was no genuine sentiment involved.

Therefore, he accepted everything with a clear conscience, taking whatever was offered. Once he became a Tenth-level Summoner, he could simply return the materials he had received. Tenfold? Dream on. Not even double. I'll return exactly what I was given, no more, no less. If 'Wang Xianyu' genuinely intended to support him, he would have given more generously. Unfortunately, it was clear the man was after his secrets.
