Lu Yu's eyes were filled with joy when he saw the scene in front of him!
As a transmigrator, this world didn't abandon him after all. The cheat he was expecting had only arrived now.
Now, he had the chance to change his life and eliminate the fate of being a worn-out iron sword!
"Would you like to start the Life Simulation?" The system's voice rang out in Lu Yu's mind.
"Yes!" Without any hesitation, Lu Yu chose to start the simulation.
If he didn't simulate it now, he would be thrown into the furnace and reforged!
[Life Simulation has been activated.]
[Year 1: You were dug out of the secret realm by Baron Grant, but because of your ugly appearance, you were of little use. You were thrown in the smithery shop's warehouse for a year, and no one asked about you.]
[Year 2: One day, Baron Grant said he wanted to put you in the furnace for reforging. You panicked and suddenly advanced.]
[Arthur, a magic apprentice whose family was exterminated by an influential person, chose you because he was short of money. He drew a blood-drinking formation on your body and took you for revenge.]
[With your help, Arthur quickly achieved energy level two.]
[Year 3: You killed everything while in Arthur's hands and absorbed blood to live. As you grew rapidly, you successfully advanced to an intermediate magic tool!]
[Year 4: Arthur, whose strength had reached energy level three, used you to wipe out the entire Spencer family. After that, his name shook the nearby territory of the Canglan Empire.]
[Year 5: Arthur successfully advanced and became an energy level four transcendent. He added all kinds of ores to you and upgraded you into a flawless intermediate magic tool. Thanks to this, you gained a new ability– [Repair].]
[Year 6: As you killed more and more people, you continuously used the blood-drawing ability. The demonic nature in your body gradually deepened. Arthur inherited your demonic nature as the wielder, causing his personality to change. He offended many people.]
[Year 7: Enemies came to Arthur's door. In the end, Arthur was defeated and died in battle. Along with your owner, you broke into several pieces and also died.]
[Life Simulation completed. Current score: Grade D. You will inherit part of the abilities from the Life Simulation, and you will receive a talent!]
[The grades are SS, S, A, B, C, D.]
[Inheritance 1: A precious item from the Life Simulation.]
[Inheritance 2: The grade and rank you achieved from the Life Simulation.]
[Inheritance 3: A memory fragment from the Life Simulation.]
Three options popped up before Lu Yu.
He checked the information in the Life Simulation and complained to himself.
As a magic tool, he really was a piece of trash.
After six years, he had only become an intermediate magic tool, and this was only because his owner was an energy level four user.
Moreover, it seemed that after 'Arthur' finished his revenge, his body and mind took a wrong turn. He made enemies everywhere he went. Ultimately, his level couldn't keep up with the number of enemies he had made. He died by the consequences of his own actions.
However, Lu Yu would still be able to live for a few years after leaving this place. It would be much better than staying in the blacksmith shop and getting reforged.
He weighed the options he was given.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining part of the ability from the Life Simulation."
"With [Repair], you can repair yourself using a certain amount of points."
While Lu Yu was still thinking, a surprise appeared before his eyes! He hadn't even decided yet, but he had already obtained an ability!
If he uses [Repair], he would no longer have to stay as a worn-out iron sword!
Realizing this, Lu Yu was overjoyed. Immediately after, he turned his gaze back to the options he had received.
He didn't obtain any valuable items in this Life Simulation, so the first option was a waste.
As for the third option, he would only get memories, but he wouldn't be able to do anything as a sword. Moreover, there seemed to be no special memory from this Life Simulation.
The second option clearly seemed like the best one. Although he would only be upgraded to an intermediate weapon, it was more than enough for now.
"I'll take the second option!" Lu Yu made his choice.
"Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained the grade and rank from the Life Simulation. You have now become an intermediate magic tool."
A series of notification sounds rang out.
Lu Yu felt an indescribable change in the sword he was on. It was like when he was a human being. It felt like he had been sick for many years, but one day he suddenly woke up feeling much healthier and stronger.
His entire being felt much more relaxed.
While Lu Yu was busy with his Life Simulation, Baron Grant had already brought Arthur, the magic apprentice, out of the warehouse.
The huge warehouse was tranquil again.
Nighttime passed, and the sky was beginning to light up.
Lu Yu heard workers getting up and working, and the entire smithery gradually became lively.
Creak!
Morning light shone in as the warehouse's door was pushed open. In the past two days, people had visited the warehouse that usually wouldn't have any visitors. Lu Yu looked over out of boredom.
A familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was Baron Grant who was planning to reforge Lu Yu.
He gently walked to Lu Yu and took him down from the wall. The moment he picked up the scabbard, he felt something was off!
After a day, he felt that this sword was much heavier than before. He quickly pulled Lu Yu out of the sheath to inspect the sword.
"Hiss!" he quickly pulled his eyes away in pain.
His eyes hurt from the sudden bright light released by the sword!
When he came to take a look yesterday, it was only a worn-out iron sword. So why was the sword now glowing with a light so bright it could blind someone?
Baron Grant pointed the blade at himself. When the tip barely grazed his skin, he felt a sharp pain as blood came out!
This… This was already an intermediate magic tool!
Baron Grant's mouth was wide open, his eyes filled with disbelief.
How could this damaged sword become an intermediate weapon within just one night?
He had never heard of such a thing. He originally wanted to reforge Lu Yu, but now, he changed his mind.
He left Lu Yu in the warehouse and quickly ran back home. Baron Grant vaguely recalled seeing a description of this in an ancient book.
However, it had been a long time, so he couldn't remember many details. To satisfy his curiosity, he had to go over and take a look!
After returning home, Baron Grant hurriedly opened the ancient book in his study room. It was already covered in dust, but he didn't mind dirtying his hands as he directly flipped through the book.
He read the series of descriptions written in the book.
"In the legends, only holy weapons can repair themselves."
"In the continent, the owners of every holy weapon are all extremely powerful and famous powerhouses!"
"In this era, only Saints, Grand Magisters, and Paladins have traces of these sacred weapons."
"Year 764 of the Canglan Empire: Saint Joseph wielded a holy weapon. Holy light fell from the sky, instantly wiping out 10000 enemies in an instant."
"Year 962 of the Canglan Empire: Holy Knight Pulitzer wielded a holy weapon and single-handedly defeated an army of 30000 griffins in the Demonic Abyss Canyon! He completely crushed the Sky Empire's ambition to swallow up the Canglan Empire!"
The text recounted the historical events of the people who wielded holy weapons. With every sentence that Baron Grant read, his body trembled further from excitement!
He had found it in the secret realm and initially thought it was just a worn-out iron sword, but it was actually a holy weapon!
These were things that only the famous experts of the continent could control. Each of them was as precious as an heirloom!
He had dug out such an incredible weapon from the ruins!
Baron Grant could feel his heart thumping. He put down the book in his hand and ran back to the smithery.
He could no longer leave this sacred weapon in the warehouse. Instead, he had to keep it in his hands to be at ease.
