READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 1
Chapter 1: I Bound the Immortal Cultivation Simulator
Translator: yikaii Editor: yikaii
The Great Xia Kingdom, Beijing.
(TL Note: I’ve seen a few translations put down Beijing as Kyoto. The original word in chinese is 京都 which just means the capital of the country (which in this case is China). A more accurate translation would be the capital but it will become very awkward to just call it the capital instead of a name. I assume other translators are using MTL because Kyoto in Kanji is also 京都 since a lot of Kanji originates from Traditional Chinese, it gets wrongly translated as Kyoto. Also it doesn’t make sense for a place called The Great Xia Kingdom to be in Japan xD https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E4%BA%AC%E9%83%BD)
The top institution for Awakeneds, Beijing Awakened University, a certain male dormitory.
[Ding~]
A sudden sound appeared in Su Xing’s mind.
Su Xing, who was packing his gear and preparing to enter a dungeon for loot, froze in place.
“Who? Who’s playing a prank?”
Su Xing looked around the empty dormitory but found nothing.
But then, a series of sounds echoed in Su Xing’s mind.
[Life Simulator Binding…]
[Binding Successful!]
[Host: Su Xing]
[Age: 21]
[Profession: Cultivator]
[Simulation Chances: 1]
[Energy Points: 100]
[Introduction: The Life Simulator will simulate your future based entirely on the trajectory of your real-life development. After the simulation ends, you can receive some rewards. Each simulation consumes a certain amount of energy. The chances for simulations refreshes once a week.]
Su Xing rubbed his eyes and looked incredulously at the virtual panel in front of him.
Immediately, two lines of text appeared on the panel.
[Start Simulation?]
[Yes] [No]
Looking at the panel in front of him, Su Xing’s eyes suddenly reddened.
“Three years! Do you know how I’ve lived these past three years?”
“Damn, I thought I didn’t have a golden finger as a transmigrator!”
That’s right, Su Xing was a transmigrator who had crossed over to this strange world three years ago.
Unlike his previous life on Earth, in this world, games had become reality.
Monstrous beasts, mysterious realms, equipment, and items were all abundant…
Even more amazing was that everyone would receive a profession and become an Awakened at the age of eighteen. By killing dungeon monsters, they could gain experience and become stronger.
Three years ago, when Su Xing first transmigrated, he awakened a new hidden profession, Cultivator!
This news caused a sensation throughout Beijing at the time, and Su Xing was directly recruited into one of the nation’s top universities, Beijing Awakened University!
At first, Su Xing’s performance was indeed excellent. Relying on the strong physical qualities of a Cultivator, he quickly stood out among a group of freshmen.
But soon, Su Xing discovered a fatal problem: he couldn’t level up!
Other Awakeneds could gain experience points as rewards for killing dungeon monsters.
But no matter how hard Su Xing tried to kill monsters and level up, he couldn’t gain a single experience point.
Thus, three years passed.
Now in his fourth year, his classmates had grown from Bronze rank to Silver rank, Gold rank, and even higher…
But he was still just a small Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivator.
However, Su Xing was unwilling to give up. He frantically searched for a way to level up and finally found a method.
That was body refinement!
Since he couldn’t refine Qi, he would train his physique!
So Su Xing crazily entered dungeons, farmed equipment, sold items, and even took freshmen into dungeons to level them up.
He used the money he earned to buy dungeon items that could enhance his physique.
Finally, after three whole years, he went from Body Refinement Stage 1 to Body Refinement Stage 6.
Body Refinement Stage 6, with strength reaching thousands of pounds, sounded impressive.
But in actual combat power, he wasn’t even as strong as a Level 30 Bronze strength-type Awakened.
Su Xing, however, didn’t give up and continued to enter dungeons for gold and training, constantly tempering his physique.
Scenes from the past flashed before his eyes, and Su Xing, with an excited heart and trembling hands, silently chanted:
“Start Simulation!”
[Consumed 100 energy points, remaining simulation chances: 0.]
[Simulation starts!]
[This talent draw is free, drawing talents randomly…]
[Ding, congratulations on obtaining the White Talent, Spirit Root Holder!]
[Spirit Root Holder]: White Talent. Your spirit roots are different from ordinary people, allowing you to embark on the path of immortality.
Su Xing was stunned when he saw this talent.
Could it be that the reason he couldn’t cultivate all these years was because he had the profession but no Spirit Root, and therefore couldn’t advance in the Qi Refining realm?
Su Xing suppressed his doubts and chose to continue the simulation.
[In the dormitory, you awakened your golden finger, and you were very happy.]
[That afternoon, a few freshmen girls invited you to a dungeon to help them level up, and you readily agreed.]
[In the Bronze-rank dungeon, you performed heroically. After clearing the dungeon, you obtained several white items and a reward of ten thousand yuan.]
[One of the freshmen girls, short on money, wanted to pay in another way.]
[You looked at the girl’s face and agreed.]
[The next day, you felt refreshed and started cultivating, but you didn’t know where to begin.]
[You started searching online for Qi Refining methods and found an astonishing technique called “Pangu Opening Heaven Technique”!]
[You were overjoyed and began cultivating.]
[After a day of cultivation, your skills did not improve, and you nearly deviated in your training.]
[Unwilling to give up, you continued cultivating day and night.]
[A month later, your Qi Refining level was still at the first stage.]
[You realized that online cultivation methods were all fake!]
[So you began spending a lot of money to buy cultivation techniques but ended up with a bunch of cheap goods from Taobao.]
[With no other options, you continued to refine your physique.]
Su Xing felt a chill in his heart. Without a proper cultivation technique, how could he cultivate immortality?
Su Xing sighed and continued the simulation.
[You did not give up. While refining your physique, you kept looking for cultivation techniques.]
[In your spare time, you often took freshmen girls to level up, earning money while also getting close contact.]
[The good times didn’t last long. Six months later, that freshman girl broke through to become a Silver-rank Awakened and cut off contact with you.]
[On a quiet afternoon, with the wind howling, you found her.]
[You asked her: I thought we could develop some feelings with our relationship. She told you: It was just a transaction.]
[Your pride was wounded. You turned your grief into strength and trained hard for six months, finally breaking through to Body Refinement Stage 7.]
[By this time, graduation was approaching. Your classmates had become famous Awakeneds, but you, lacking strength, could not graduate.]
[You were held back a year, but you were secretly happy because a new batch of freshmen girls had enrolled, and you continued to help them level up.]
[Gradually, you became famous. All the freshmen knew there was a senior who had been held back in his fourth year and was great at helping new students level up.]
[You reaped substantial rewards, accumulating assets worth millions in three years!]
Su Xing touched his chin and murmured:
“If I keep being held back, it wouldn’t be so bad! At least there would always be new freshmen girls…”
But then Su Xing’s expression changed.
[You originally thought life would continue smoothly.]
[Unfortunately, since you couldn’t graduate after five consecutive years, you were expelled.]
[After being expelled, you lost your primary source of income and, due to your low strength, could only linger in Bronze-rank dungeons for years.]
[Determined, you decided to train your physique even harder.]
[After two years, spending all your savings, you reached Body Refinement Stage 8.]
Su Xing felt uncomfortable reading this. He didn’t expect body refinement to be so difficult.
It had taken him three years to progress from Body Refinement Stage 1 to Stage 6.
But his future self took seven whole years to go from Stage 6 to Stage 8.
Su Xing patiently continued to read.
[With no money left, you had to return to your old ways, entering dungeons to earn gold.]
[You were still formidable, and with your Body Refinement Stage 8 strength, you were unbeatable in Bronze-rank dungeons, amassing a fortune worth millions.]
[One day, your parents told you that your sister Su Nianan had died…]
