As he looked at the script of his life, Lu Yuan's brow furrowed.
His martial arts hall had been confiscated, his family ruined, and he had been exiled abroad. He hadn't even reached adulthood.
This simulation could be described as nine deaths and one life.
Just as he was getting a headache, another prompt sounded.
[First-time users of the simulator may randomly receive a simulation talent. Do you want to draw it now?]
"Simulation talent?"
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Talents are ranked from F to S, with higher ranks having stronger effects.
For example, some S-ranked talents are so powerful that one could change their fate with minimal effort and gain substantial benefits.
If he could draw a decent starting talent, this simulation would be much easier.
However, when Lu Yuan saw his talent pool, he was stunned.
[Blossoming Prosperity (C-Rank): The flower language of Steel Wool is endurance and prosperity. If you are male, you will receive more love from older women].
[King of Overwork (D rank): Work efficiency +50%. Although you have mastered the way of overwork, years of competitive stress will exhaust you and reduce your lifespan by 50 years.]
[CPU Master (C rank): Your acting skills are excellent, and you have a deep understanding of human nature. You excel at using language manipulation to oppress others and benefit yourself.]
[Rich Guy v50 (D rank): If you post this phrase in any comment section, one netizen will be randomly forced to transfer 50 yuan to you. (Limited to ten times per day)]
"What the hell are these hellish talents?"
Lu Yuan's eyelid twitched.
Talents can be grounded in reality, but they shouldn't be earthly hells.
What's wrong with this talent pool?
They're all bizarre talents!
The only usable one was [Rich Guy v50].
Ten times a day, that's 500 yuan.
Does that mean he could earn 15,000 yuan a month by lying down?
But to force netizens to openly transfer money like that...
Wouldn't he get caught?
As the countdown drew to a close, Lu Yuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and make a choice.
[Drawing talent...]
[Warning! Unknown error detected in simulation reincarnation!]
[Repair... Talent pool has been reset!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained the unique Hidden Talent: Adaptive Talent!]
[Talent Rating...]
[Preliminary Rating: Divine]
[Adaptive Talent] During life simulations, this talent will automatically change to the most appropriate talent for that simulation].
Divine?
Lu Yuan gasped.
As far as he remembered, S-class was the highest level.
But divine talents only existed in legends and had never appeared before!
Is this the late but mighty Golden Finger of a transmigrator?
[Adaptive Talent is now active...]
[Congratulations! In this simulation, you have obtained the divine talent of [Heaven Rewards Diligence].
[Heaven Rewards Diligence: One unit of effort yields a hundredfold return. You become stronger just by breathing. Persevere in a task and you will reap unexpected rewards! (Lasts 10 seconds, can be activated or deactivated at will)]
[Note: This talent consumes a lot of energy and its duration is related to your physical strength. The better your physical condition, the longer it will last].
With this prompt, a golden, glowing talent card appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
A golden legend?
Lu Yuan was ecstatic.
An S-rank talent could change your fate.
Starting with a divine talent, wouldn't it instantly skyrocket?
A failing martial arts hall on the verge of bankruptcy?
I am a young master, practising martial arts at the age of three!
Inviting a wolf into the house, having property confiscated?
I will prove myself through martial arts and conquer the world invincibly!
Any chief martial artist or member of the Red Lotus Sect.
If they dare to cause trouble, I'll beat them all to death!
"This time, I won't let the tragedies of the past happen!"
Lu Yuan's eyes were determined.
[Talent has been activated].
[Overpowered talent detected, simulation difficulty set to hell level!]
[Simulation reincarnation has officially begun!]
As soon as the voice ended, Lu Yuan didn't even react.
His consciousness quickly soared and he arrived at a new dimension.
Year 2123.
Qian Country, Capital City.
In a hospital.
Accompanied by a clear, loud cry, a baby boy was born into the world.
"Mr Lu, Mrs Lin, congratulations, it's a boy!"
A nurse holding a chubby baby boy quickly announced the good news.
"Great, our Lu family has a successor!"
"Xue'er, just look at him. His nose, his eyes, they're carved from your mould."
Lu Yuan's father carefully picked up the baby, visibly overwhelmed with joy.
"Be quiet, don't scare the baby."
Lu Yuan's mother rebuked him gently.
"Right, we haven't given him a name yet."
"The path of martial arts is full of challenges and responsibilities, long and arduous. The baby shall be called Lu Yuan."
"This child looks intelligent. He'll surely carry on the Lu family martial arts hall in the future!"
Lu Zhengming laughed heartily, but his smile turned bitter when he thought about the situation of the hall.
Listening to his father, Lu Yuan, who was lying in the nappy, gained some understanding.
Every reincarnation world has its own heavenly will.
And the will of Heaven affects the world of rebirth in every way.
It's like having the same name in two lives, it's inevitable.
And the family background of this life does not seem too bad.
Better than starting out as an orphan.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan thought about his future plans.
According to the script of life.
At the age of one, he would catch a cold that would leave him with chronic health problems.
At the age of three, the Lu Family Martial Arts Hall would fail its evaluation.
Lu Zhengming, desperate, would sell most of the assets to hire a master in internal force to revive the hall's business.
This would be the beginning of all the disasters.
If Lu Yuan wanted to prevent the same tragedy, he had to change the above points.
In addition, the difficulty of Hell Level cast a shadow on Lu Yuan's mind.
As far as he knew, the difficulty of the initial simulations was usually easy or normal.
At most, it would be hard level.
"I wonder how [Heaven Rewards Diligence] works?"
Thinking about it, Lu Yuan secretly activated the talent while his parents were away.
[One breath completed, improved cardiopulmonary function!]
[One scream completed, minor physical improvement!]
[One small pee, improved genital function!]
[Energy depleted, talent duration ended].
A series of prompt sounds came unexpectedly.
Dumbfounded, Lu Yuan felt a warm current flowing through him, warming him up like a hot spring.
Even his small organ seemed to have grown slightly?
One unit of effort, a hundredfold return.
So this is how divine talents can be used?
