One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count
Chapter 118: Ingenious Micro-Management!
Without a doubt, "Thank You, Taro" was a useless trait that Chen Yi wouldn't use.
Before, when you said these kinds of traits were useless, I wouldn't argue with you. But with the "Trait Slingshot," what should we call them?
Unexpected victories!
The weirder the trait effect, the stronger the apparent negative effect, the better the result when launched.
For example, this "Thank You, Taro," Chen Yi blindly guessed was another area-of-effect crowd control, making enemies face-blind and unable to tell who was who.
In that case, it would be very effective in scenarios like trying to escape from a chaotic melee.
"The two traits, Alchemy Dao and Artifact Dao, can both be left unused for now."
Both traits enhanced learning comprehension. The skills were already learned, and removing the traits wouldn't cause the skills to be lost.
When he wanted to study them in-depth later, he could just equip them again. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
As for the material identification functions that came with the two traits.
Those he had already seen, even after removing the traits, wouldn't suddenly become unrecognizable. Only when encountering new varieties would he be unable to directly identify them and would need to look up information like an ordinary person.
【You used "Ginger Gets Spicier With Age" to replace "Alchemy Sage."】
【You used "Luckier with Age" to replace "Artifact Refining Sage."】
【You used "Foreign Languages Should Be Learned" to replace "Man and Sword as One."】
【In the Demon World, devoid of light and traces of life, a massive bronze cauldron passed through the air like a UFO.】
【Countless demon souls drifting in this world all looked up.】
【They sensed the aura of a living being and were all astonished.】
【It had been a very, very long time since they had felt the breath of life.】
【Perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps out of longing for life, these demon souls often followed the Nine Provinces Cauldron, trying to feel more of that life aura.】
【"Ghosts Come to Rejoice!!"】
【And then they were sucked into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.】
【Sometimes, when the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was full, the demon souls were spared. Wrong, for them, not being refined was unfortunate.】
【Relying on the cultivation feedback from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, your realm arduously advanced another level, reaching Spirit Sea Sixth Layer.】
【"Oh, Trait Dad, when will you give me a higher-grade innate talent trait?
With the rare-tier Low-Grade Bone Structure, logically there should also be an epic-tier Mid-Grade Bone Structure, and a legendary-tier High-Grade Bone Structure, right?
Back in the day, I made a wish to you by the Qing River, hoping you'd be lucky once, and then you gave me the 'Simulator.'
Now, can you be lucky again?
You don't want to watch your host upgrade this slowly forever, do you?"】
【Low-Grade Bone Structure cultivation has truly reached its limit.】
【Every bit of improvement since you entered the Spirit Sea realm has had basically nothing to do with your own cultivation; they're completely unrelated.】
【You sometimes even feel that cultivating is a pure waste of time, and you'd be better off spending time on alchemy and finding resources.】
【Slow cultivation isn't even the biggest problem with poor innate talent.】
【High innate talent means higher gains from doing anything.】
【For example, higher absorption rates for pills, higher efficiency from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's feedback, and so on.】
【After obtaining the "Foreign Languages Should Be Learned" trait, you quickly learned the Demon Tribe language by following the bilingual teacher, Hu Tiangong.】
【There were no living beings in the Demon World, so naturally, there was no food.】
【Fortunately, your storage bag and the small world inside the cauldron had ample reserves, enough to last for a while.】
【But the Demon Tribe Guardian was still unknown when he could be found; it wouldn't do to just sit and eat through the reserves.】
【While the Nine Provinces Cauldron was flying, you stayed in the small world inside the cauldron, farming with Da Chun.】
【This was your original trade.】
【Back in Luoding Village, you were a farmer; farming could be considered your specialty.】
【The Demon World was vast. Currently, the Nine Provinces Cauldron couldn't fly too fast. A year passed, and you still hadn't seen any sign of the sea.】
【Year 42, age 60.】
【Drawing trait...】
【Draw successful!】
【"Traffic Light" (Purple Epic):
When you need it, you can divide your field of vision into three zones: "Red," "Yellow," and "Green." Red represents danger, Yellow represents suspected danger, and Green represents safety.
If a red danger appears near you, the Traffic Light will activate automatically.】
【Adjust traits?】
【Yes/No】
"'Luckier with Age' really has something to it. These green traits are all full of unique skills!"
"Traffic Light" was epic-tier. It seemed to be the superior version of the rare-tier "Spider Sense" and had to be equipped.
The "Spider Sense" trait had been equipped most of the time since he obtained it. Now it could retire.
【You used "Traffic Light" to replace "Spider Sense."】
【You used "Senior Tomato User" to replace "Foreign Languages Should Be Learned."】
【You used "Man and Sword as One" to replace "Luckier with Age."】
"Another wave of brilliant micro-management! What would the 'me' in the simulation do without me? It really taxes my brain cells..."
It was already late at night in reality.
The steady breathing of Shen Qingshan and Chen Yun came from the next room; the two had long since fallen asleep.
Even Hei Feng in the courtyard was sound asleep.
Chen Yi was still continuing this simulation with an uncertain future, not knowing if he could leave the Demon World.
【You were still flying continuously in one direction.】
【Looking through the external view from Da Chun's hands, you saw that besides demon souls, there were other living creatures' souls drifting outside. Other than that, there was nothing else.】
【"What a hopeless world. It's bad enough that all living beings died, but they can't even be released from suffering, forced to endure indefinite 'imprisonment' here, with the entire world as their prison!"】
【However, on second thought, you felt the Demon World deserved it.】
【The Dragon-Man race choosing to attack when the Demon Tribe was defeated and retreating was definitely not a coincidence.】
【It meant the Dragon-Man race also didn't want to clash head-on with the Demon World at its peak strength.】
【If the Demon World hadn't launched a war against the human world, fighting to a stalemate, how could the Dragon-Man race have reaped the benefits?】
【"Very similar..."】
【You remembered the war between the Five Regions humans and the Great Wastes demon tribe in the last simulation.】
【In another dozen or so years, the human and demon tribes in the human world would be at war again. Was it instigated by the Dragon-Man race?】
【Speaking of which, what caused the great war between the two worlds thirty thousand years ago? Was it also related to the Dragon-Man race?】
【You tossed this question to Hu Tiangong. He was an eyewitness, and you estimated he might know.】
【"The Demon Emperor said that if we won all the realm wars, the Demon Tribe could ascend to the Immortal Realm as a whole race, gaining eternal life, endless resources, with no more conflicts or sorrow!"】
【"Really? That's an exaggeration!"】
【"That's what the Demon Emperor said anyway. But no matter what the Demon Emperor said, we would follow him to the death! He is the greatest realm master of our Demon World!"】
【"Wait, win all the realm wars? The Demon Emperor's original plan was to defeat all the Void Realms?"】
【"Exactly!"】
【You couldn't help but want to laugh.】
【The goal was to defeat all Void Realms, but they got beaten hollow in the very first battle against the human world. Then their entire race, even their entire world, was annihilated by the Dragon-Man race.】
【This Demon Emperor didn't seem all that impressive.】
