[A member of the Tarot Society told you that in Jinling City, Jiangnan Province, a Grandmaster-tier expert had a rare item called a Spirit Stone.]
[You were ecstatic and rushed to Jinling City overnight.]
[You contacted the Grandmaster and offered to buy the Spirit Stone for one billion Great Xia Coins.]
[The Grandmaster agreed.]
[However, on the eve of the transaction, that mysterious person approached you.]
[You died at the age of thirty-three!] [You triggered the talent "Die with Eyes Open"!] [Your eyes stared intently at the mysterious person.] [The mysterious person was displeased and stomped on your head, crushing it.] [You lost your eyes, and the "Die with Eyes Open" talent became ineffective.]
[This simulation has ended!] [You may choose one of the following rewards:
Calm and Serene (Talent), or Half of the Changchun Technique (Cultivation Technique)]
Seeing this, Su Xing was ecstatic.
"Finally... the last clue to Spiritual Energy is here! The Spirit Stone... it must be related to Spiritual Energy!"
Su Xing calmed his emotions and did not hesitate in choosing the reward for this simulation.
Calm and Serene was quite ordinary and wouldn't significantly enhance Su Xing, though it looked more impressive.
But the Changchun Technique was something genuinely useful for his cultivation!
With the clue of the Spirit Stone, he might be able to bring it back next time and actually start cultivating!
So...
"I choose the Changchun Technique!"
[Ding, you have chosen to bring back half of the Changchun Technique from the simulation, consuming 3000 energy points, remaining energy: 182 points.]
At the same time, an ancient cultivation manual appeared before Su Xing.
Su Xing was ecstatic, quickly examining the Changchun Technique.
[Half of the Changchun Technique: The core cultivation method of the Changchun Sect in the Qingyun Realm. The technique has six levels, with the highest level reaching the Return to Void Stage. However, because this is only half of the technique, it can only be cultivated to the Core Formation Stage. The Changchun Technique absorbs nature's spiritual energy, nourishing the body, and can extend life and maintain youth.]
The cultivation mantra is as follows: "First level, all things prosper. Sleep early and rise early, walk widely in the courtyard, bringing clarity to the mind... Second level: The union of heaven and earth..."
Su Xing was overjoyed after reading the introduction to the Changchun Technique.
This technique appeared far more reliable than the "Three Years to Go from Cultivator to Corpse" book he had bought before.
The first half of the Changchun Technique was only a few hundred words long, and Su Xing memorized it perfectly in less than half an hour.
With a slight sigh, Su Xing said:
"This technique can extend life and maintain youth... but with the world ending in fifteen years, extending life is useless!"
After memorizing the Changchun Technique, Su Xing began planning his next simulation.
He could only simulate once a week, and each simulation consumed a large amount of energy, making simulation opportunities extremely precious.
Su Xing needed to quickly accumulate strength, so he had to have clear goals for each simulation.
"The urgent task is to step into the realm of cultivation. Therefore, the next simulation will likely aim to obtain that Spirit Stone..."
Su Xing thought for a moment. Unless the talent drawn in the next simulation was extremely valuable, he would definitely choose the Spirit Stone.
"But I don't know the true value of the Spirit Stone. How much energy is required? Before the next simulation, I need to save enough energy!"
Su Xing currently had more than 800,000 Great Xia Coins in his account, which could only be exchanged for less than 4,000 points of energy.
Whether 4,000 points of energy would be enough to bring out the Spirit Stone was still unknown.
Su Xing sighed inwardly. It's true that even heroes struggle without money.
Bang!
At that moment, the dormitory door was kicked open.
A chubby figure walked in, it was Yu Yan.
Su Xing rolled his eyes and laughed, cursing:
"Fatty Yu, can you be gentler? This door will be broken by you sooner or later!"
Fatty Yu chuckled and said:
"Haha, I'll be careful next time."
Hesitating for a moment, Fatty Yu carefully said, "By the way, Mr. Liu seems to have something to talk to you about... It seems to be about your occupation..."
Su Xing nodded at the words. He wasn't surprised.
Having "slacked off" for three years at Kyoto Vocational University, the top-ranked school in the country, and being recognized as a failure, Mr. Liu might want Su Xing to voluntarily drop out?
After all, having a "failure" at a prestigious school like this could cause a bad reputation.
Fatty Yu also seemed to guess this, patting Su Xing's shoulder:
"Old Su, don't worry too much. Kyoto Vocational University has never expelled a student... Besides, the occupation isn't something you can control, and you haven't done anything wrong. Just go without worry!"
"No matter what happens, you'll always be my brother!"
Su Xing naturally believed this, as even in the simulation, this fatty never cut off contact with him until his dying moment.
Su Xing hesitated for a moment and said:
"Fatty, I'm a bit short of money lately. Can you lend me some?"
Yu Yan raised an eyebrow. Knowing Su Xing's character, enduring hardships without borrowing money in the last three years of university, he must be in a tough spot now.
So Yu Yan nodded and said:
"How much do you need? Just name it."
Su Xing gritted his teeth and said:
"Five million. Do you have it?"
Yu Yan nodded, taking out a bank card from his account and handing it to Su Xing:
"There are five million in this card... the password is my birthday!"
Su Xing took the bank card, feeling a surge of gratitude, but was at a loss for words.
"Fatty..."
Yu Yan waved his hand and said:
"Old Su, no need for sentimental words. Five million means nothing to me! You're my brother, after all."
"Actually, what I wanted to ask was, when is your birthday again..."
Yu Yan: "..."
Gritting his teeth, Yu Yan said, "Give me back the money!"
Su Xing dodged, grinning:
"Just kidding! I'm off to see Mr. Liu now!"
With that, Su Xing headed for the teaching office.
Mr. Liu, whose full name was Liu Xiaodong, was the life and head teacher of Su Xing's department.
Most student affairs were handled by him.
It was Liu Xiaodong who had initially recruited Su Xing into Kyoto Vocational University.
Knock, knock!
Su Xing knocked on the office door.
"Come in!"
Su Xing entered the office and saw a middle-aged man sipping tea, with an air of authority.
"Mr. Liu, you wanted to see me?"
Su Xing asked directly.
Liu Xiaodong smiled pleasantly and said:
"Su Xing, how is your cultivation going? Have you advanced in level?"
As expected, he wanted to talk about this.
Su Xing had anticipated this, so he shook his head:
"No, I'm still the same. But I'll continue cultivating and strive to break through to the Silver Tier as soon as possible!"
Liu Xiaodong's smile remained unchanged. He took a sip of tea and said:
"Su Xing, actually, I wanted to discuss something with you this time..."
"You know, you have less than a year left until graduation, and our department has requirements for assessment and employment rates..."
Su Xing coldly laughed inwardly, having already guessed most of what Liu Xiaodong wanted to say. But he still pretended to be unaware and asked:
"So, Mr. Liu, what do you mean? I hope you can be straightforward."
Liu Xiaodong, hearing this, dropped the pretense and said directly:
"Su Xing, I hope you voluntarily drop out. It's for the best for both you and the school's reputation!"
