Emulator: Opening Talent Super Gigolo

The Black Fog Came for Me

[Simulation starts!]

[In the black fog, you decided to save this woman.]

[You brought four people with you and ran up to the mall’s highest floor, hiding in the control room.]

[Some skeletons detected the aura of living humans and came gushing over crazily. You then fended them off by yourself, escaping as you fought. The battle went on for three hours.]

[A spear-wielding skeleton appeared within your vision. You went all out but couldn’t fend off the spear and were injured by it.]

[You lost too much blood and then fell unconscious.]

[Two hours later, you woke up.]

[You realized that you didn’t die, but the other four people were nowhere to be seen.]

[There were blood and pieces of flesh all over the ground, and you can also vaguely see a few broken skulls.]

[You knew that they had been killed, but you had no idea why you survived.]

[The black fog dissipated.]

[Su Xi`er’s death alarmed many people.]

[From the bureau to the central government department, you were questioned countless times, but you couldn’t give an answer.]

[Four days later, a young man came to you with his sword in hand. “Amongst the five, you were the only one who survived after being unconscious. How do you explain this?”]

[You couldn’t answer it.]

[“Let me tell you, it’s because you’re the reason the black fog was attracted! You are colluding with the existence behind the black fog!” The young man brought up his speculation, his gaze filled with fury and he was in great grief. With a sword attack, he erupted with an astral force of one at the third realm and pinned you down, killing you.]

[In your final moments, you saw him laughing maniacally before committing suicide.]

“Hu...!”

Lin Chang`an broke out in cold sweat.

He took a look at Su Xi`er, who was in his arms and was about to faint. Her long lashes fluttered slightly, but she seemed very assured in Lin Chang`an’s arms.

“I almost forgot that she has a distinguished status.”

If Su Xi`er were to die here, there’d be a big problem.

“But that’s strange. Shouldn’t she have bodyguards sent by her clan?”

Shouldn’t there constantly be people standing from afar and protecting her? Did the major clans take things so lightly?

Or were there some hidden reasons behind this?

Another thing was that this simulation was quite strange. Lin Chang`an frowned, unable to make out how he had survived.

Moreover, to think that there was an existence in this black fog that surpassed that of the sword-wielding skeleton. That existence had also discovered him.

He looked to the front.

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

[One: Truth Deduction Talent (B-Grade talent. Your deductive ability will surpass your level of intelligence, being 1.5 times that of your intelligence.)]

[Two: Cultivation realm at the time of your death (Qi and blood value: 1,620. Attribute: Pure Yang)]

[Three: Combat experience at the time of your death (fist art at the conceptualizing stage, movement art at the perfection stage, and defense art at the perfection stage.)]

[Four: Cultivation insights at the time of your death. (Pure yang basic cultivation insights)]

[Five: A partial memory fragment.]

Lin Chang`an chose the talent, and a cooling feeling then entered his brain. He couldn’t help but let out a comfortable moan while at the same time, many guesses suddenly surged in his mind.

Lin Chang`an looked at the woman whose face was filled with a hopeful expression.

He suddenly realized that it didn’t matter if he were to save this woman.

He was the problem!

“I had run many simulations of my life before, but the black fog never appeared once.”

“Clearly, the future has changed because of some things.”

Lin Chang`an started to think, his brain moving crazily. His deduction ability surpassed the limits of his intelligence and started to rise.

In just a short moment, he obtained the most reasonable answer.

The pure yang cultivation art was a little strange!

Other than this, there were no changes in the many runs of simulation he had gone through.

He recalled how this cultivation art was a natural restraint for the skeletons, and he soon realized that this restraint was too preposterous. It was to the extent that he had managed to easily crush a first-realm sword-wielding skeleton.

“It’s not hard to win against it, but it shouldn’t have been a crushing victory...”

“This means that the greater value of this cultivation art has yet to be discovered by the officials.”

“The existence behind the black fog noticed that a perfect successor to this cultivation art has appeared again, thus activating the black fog. It doesn’t wish for this successor to survive.”

“These skeletons are all looking for me!”

(The black fog came for me!)

After coming to this conjecture, Lin Chang`an didn’t wait and ran another simulation.

“The cost is $10,000. The remaining amount: $280,052!”

[Simulation starts!]

[You chose to split ways with the group to take on the impending skeleton wave by yourself.]

[You kept on changing your locations, and your movement art that was at the perfection stage allowed you to let the skeletons go around in circles.]

[The black fog continued to become denser, and a terrifying existence wanted to come out.]

[However, you kept on escaping, jumping across the various buildings.]

[The first-realm skeletons realized that they couldn’t find you, so they were bumbling around like headless flies]

[After five hours, the black fog dissipated and you survived.]

[However, Su Xi`er died.]

[Su Xi`er’s death alarmed many people.]

[From the bureau to the central government department, countless people asked why you had left the four of them behind.]

[You were unable to explain things and they wouldn’t believe you either.]

[However, you were not targeted by the Su Clan. Su Xi`er’s great grandfather sighed. “People go their separate ways in times of danger. I can understand that you were afraid that they might be a burden for you.”]

[He seemed to have gotten a lot older, crevices filling up his face.]

[The Wan Clan didn’t make things difficult for you either. After all, the one who died was just the fourth master’s second son. They only asked for the deposit amount that had been paid to you.]

[The Wan Clan didn’t lack money, but they always went by the principle of fairness.]

[Neither the Su Clan nor the Wan Clan blamed you, but too many clans and people hoped to be looked upon favorably by the Su Clan. Therefore, they made their own call to make things difficult for you in all aspects, hoping to become the Su Clan’s lackey or the Wan Clan’s servant.]

[No universities were willing to accept you even though you were a genius.]

[No company was willing to hire you.]

[You started to face endless pressure.]

[The Visible Myriad Poisons Talent allowed you to detect the majority of poisonous stuff, and the Truth Deduction Talent allowed you to dodge countless setups. However, the hostility from the surroundings seemed to be endless.]

[At the age of 22, you finally fell into a trap and weren’t able to avoid it.]

[“You’re a genius, but you’re just a youth. You’re nothing compared to the Su Clan. Just die in peace.” Bureau Chief Sun sighed and promised to help you take care of your cat.]

[You died.]

Lin Chang`an rolled his eyes, feeling a little gloomy.

Su Xi`er’s life meant too much.

“What kind of reservations or hidden reasons do these major clans have that they aren’t protecting people with such important statuses?”

He really wanted to find the person in charge and give him a fierce hit!

Valuing people yet not protecting them... Wasn’t this just trying to throw people under the bus?

As he thought this, he picked the Desperate Survival Talent.

[Your ability to survive in harsh environments is 1.5 times that of ordinary people.]

After choosing this, he quickly realized that under extreme conditions, the basic requirement for him to sustain his life had plunged tremendously and his sense of danger had improved tremendously.

He now looked at the flirty woman; there was a hint of despair in her hopeful gaze.

Lin Chang`an’s silence seemed more like a rejection to her.

Her clothes were almost torn and her skin was vaguely exposed. This was what she felt was her greatest asset.

“Come!”

Lin Chang`an said in a deep voice. He then lifted the woman and tossed her to Chu Li.

The lady boss’s qi and blood value was at least 1,000. Otherwise, she’d have been put through forceful pairing a long time ago.

Although she had always said that she didn’t know any martial skills and only had a high qi and blood value, she’d still be capable of bringing along an ordinary person with her and escaping.

At this moment, there was no longer any need for hesitation. He must bring the four of them and escape together.

Any separations in their path could very well lead to the deaths of the four of them.

It was fine for the other three, but Su Xi`er’s death could take his life.

“I can survive if I’m by myself. In the simulation, the black fog continued to become denser, but in the end, no other terrifying existences came out. Moreover, we only need to survive for five hours. It shouldn’t be a problem to bring them along for five hours...”
