Emulator: Opening Talent Super Gigolo

What if I Agree?

Lin Chang`an was still in a daze, staring dumbfoundedly into the distance ahead.

His fingers trembled as he stretched one out, as though it was aging gradually.

“Golden finger, golden finger!”

“Damn, it has finally appeared!”

A system interface shimmering with a bright glow floated in the air before him.

Lin Chang`an felt some warmth in the corner of his eyes.

(It has been three years, do you know how I had to live?)

(I almost had to sign a humiliating ‘slave contract’!)

(That’s after all a subservience contract and not marriage.)

(A subservience contract means that I would lose a portion of my human rights.)

The most basic condition was that those who signed it couldn’t resist and had to accept all requests made by the owner, even if those requests were unreasonable.

Being a vassal wasn’t as easy as simply eating ‘soft-rice’*.

Many females would basically become tools for their owners to vent their lust on.

Lin Chang`an finally heaved a long sigh of relief after staring dumbfoundedly at the system interface for a long while.

“In view that the world will’s rejection of you is growing more intense, your death rate is now 1,000 times higher compared to ordinary people.”

“Hence, an external cheat has been activated – life emulator.”

“You can simulate your life or the life of other characters after achieving a certain entanglement degree with them. Every time the simulation ends, you can choose one of the five rewards.”

A red button floated before him: Activate simulation.

Character selection interface. Currently, he was the only person in there.

“Every time you emulate, you have to spend $1,000.”

“Balance: 4,052.”

This balance was all of Lin Chang`an’s current savings.

Three years ago, his parents died in a bewildering dream calamity and Lin Chang`an became an orphan.

This was also the point in time when he transmigrated.

Lin Chang`an guessed that the original owner had also died in the bewildering dream, and his soul which transmigrated over then occupied the original owner’s body.

These $4,000 were something he had saved through three years of work.

After all, he still had to live. It also wasn’t easy for him to save this bit of money.

In addition, it seemed that the reason why he was so unlucky before this was because of the world will!

Evidently, his talent had been suppressed.

(I was wondering why a transmigrator like me has been living so arduously!)

“I wonder what effects this system has.”

He finished reading the system introduction. Five types of rewards?

Now, as long as it was any casual reward, he would already feel so grateful that tears flowed from his eyes.

The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to activate it to test.

[Simulation start!]

[You sank into deep thought as you looked at the contract before your eyes, but you eventually chose to reject it.]

[Su Xi`er seemed to have anticipated that this would happen. “I will think of another solution for you.”]

[You continued cultivating bitterly, but your talent was very poor.]

[Five days passed, and your qi and blood value increased by 1 point.]

[Another five days later, Su Xi`er looked for you. “I finally managed to get a special contract from my house. This is a linked-contract, but it only implicates you solely. There isn’t too great of a restriction. The main thing is that no matter what, you cannot change your feelings for me and you…]

[Su Xi`er’s face blushed. You took the contract over and attentively read through each line.]

[“Isn’t this contract a little too good?” You who had read the slave contract before naturally didn’t hesitate.]

[The two of you became linked.]

[After that, Su Xi`er seemed to have awakened some sort of talent and you became somewhat absent-minded.]

[After the unified examination, she was smoothly recruited by the S-Grade Huaxia Martial Academy, and you also entered due to your status as her linker. However, you didn’t have a student’s identity and rights, so you could only listen from the side.]

[Her strength soared drastically by leaps and bounds as though her destiny had arrived.]

[As her linker, you obtained many resources. Su Xi`er also gave many of her resources to you.]

[However, your talent was truly too poor.]

[At 20 years old, your qi and blood value had yet to break the 200 mark. The professors of the martial academy had also confirmed that in this life, it was basically impossible for you to open up your spirit sea.]

[Su Xi`er soon became the name card of Huaxia Martial Academy. You could deeply sense the gigantic distance between the two of you, to the point that you didn’t even have the qualifications to be bound by the linked-contract with her.]

[Mockings and sarcastic remarks rose in waves in the surroundings. Many people were jealous about you being linked to Su Xi`er.]

[Today, you headed alone to the D209 dungeon.]

[The moment you entered the dungeon, a young man appeared before your eyes. “Are you even worthy?”]

[He then slashed out with his sword and you died.]

[This simulation has ended!]

Lin Chang`an regained his senses.

In this simulation, he had a very short life, but it was a very rare experience.

“If I didn’t have the system, such a fate would already be considered a gift of destiny for me.”

Compared to being forcefully paired up and having no rest through the days and night, the life of being linked to Su Xi`er was simply wonderful.

With Su Xi`er as his linker, he could even listen to classes in the Huaxia Martial Academy. This was something many people couldn’t even hope for in their entire lives.

He then looked at the system interface as he pondered.

[The simulation has ended, please choose one of the rewards.]

[One: Super Gigolo Talent. (A-Grade talent. Regardless of what your lover obtains, you will obtain a portion in return.)]

[Two: Cultivation realm at the time of your death (Qi and blood value: 177)]

[Three: Combat experience at the time of your death (No experience)]

[Four: Cultivation insights you’ve gained at the time of your death. (No cultivation insights.)]

[Five: A partial memory fragment.]

He looked at the five rewards and contemplated.

The third, fourth, and fifth rewards were clearly useless.

As for picking option one or two…

Although he really felt like choosing the second option as he yearned for a high cultivation base a lot, Lin Chang`an felt that an A-Grade talent ought to be very rare.

“Super gigolo, there’s no reason not to choose it.”

“I can choose not to eat ‘soft-rice’ and be a gigolo, but I cannot not have the capabilities of being a gigolo!”

After that, he selected the first option, the A-Grade Super Gigolo talent.

He then felt as though he had gained something, but the feeling was very ethereal.

“Oh right, I don’t even have a lover yet. So what the heck can this talent be used for?”

“In addition, the term ‘lovers’ definitely cannot be counted via signing contracts. I have no idea how to actually realize the effects.”

Lin Chang`an naturally didn’t want to eat soft-rice, but now with the emulator in his hand, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had no other choices left, he wouldn’t have chosen this talent.

He silently observed and then looked at his system interface’s character selection page.

It looked extremely crude.

Name: Lin Chang`an

Cultivation: Zero realm (Qi and blood value: 134)

Zero meant the lowest cultivation base. He wasn’t even at the first realm.

The qi and blood value of 134 points could allow one to understand this realm.

Only with 1,000 qi and blood value could one attempt to open their spirit sea and enter the first realm, becoming a genuine cultivator.

Hence, his 134 points were really trash.

In his entire class, he was the only one with a value below 200. Even the next weakest person was around 300+. In the previous test, there was even a monstrous existence with over 600+ points in qi and blood value.

He then continued reading the system interface.

Dao Heart: Mortal Heart (Mental energy: 275)

“My mental energy is actually so much higher?”

Qi and blood were the basis of cultivation.

And one would temper their mind for the sole reason of controlling their qi and blood.

If not, if one merely had powerful qi and blood yet insufficient mental energy, they would not only be unable to unleash their strength well, but they would even fall into qi-deviation easily, becoming an idiot or dying due to their qi and blood exploding.

The stronger one’s power was, the higher the mental energy value required for control.

If not, the minor issue was that one wouldn’t be able to use their power well, and the major issue was that one might lose all control.

He continued reading.

Talent: Super Gigolo (A-grade, +)

There was a + sign behind it. This seemed to indicate that this talent could be upgraded. However, it was currently grayed out.

At this moment, he meticulously checked through the entire system once more.

[The five rewards are fixed rewards. Talent, cultivation realm, combat experience, cultivation insights, memory fragments…]

“This system can endlessly simulate my life. It means that when I have to make a choice, I can always try simulating it first. In any case, this isn’t disadvantageous for me.”

Lin Chang`an thought about it and started the simulation again.

He wanted to see what would happen if he agreed to the subservience contract with Su Xi`er’s mother.

[Simulation starts!]

[You didn’t hesitate when you looked at the contract in front of you and chose to agree directly.]

…

On the other end.

“Master, what if he agrees?”

“If he agrees…” The human shadow had never thought of this before. “Although he is currently sinking in deep mud, I feel that he is someone of great pride and great ambitions. He exudes a faint sense of having an extraordinary fate, so he won’t agree to this.”

“Oh, okay then.”

Su Xi`er inclined her head.

When she recalled her master’s words, she suddenly felt that it was these things that attracted her to him.

Because she had a good family background, talent, and a beautiful appearance, she had always been admired and looked up to by others. Moreover, everyone would feel that they were shorter by a segment when they saw her talent.

Only Lin Chang`an didn’t act like this. His sense of calmness was real.

It definitely wasn’t something feigned like those who were pursuing her would do.

It was also because of this special characteristic that she felt some goodwill for Lin Chang`an through these three years of interaction.
