Although Xiao Feng knew that the increase in his cultivation would inevitably lead to a rise in the cost of his Projection Simulation, he hadn't expected it to increase by so much.
If Xiao Feng was correct, with every significant breakthrough in cultivation, the Projection Simulation would consume ten times more merit points.
Glancing at his meagre merit points of less than 2,000, Xiao Feng reluctantly chose [Text Projection Simulation].
"Ding! Text Projection Simulation starting!"
[Day 1: You wake up from a dream, only to find yourself in a strange country. You feel confused but also a bit excited.]
[Day 2: Penniless, you spend the entire day hungry, and with no magical system or "cheat" ability appearing as expected, you begin to accept reality and decide first to find a job to feed yourself.]
[Day 3: By offering to work for half the usual wage, you successfully land a job as a waiter in a Western restaurant...]
[Day 16: While working as usual and full of complaints, you suddenly notice three new customers. They look like a family of three—a young couple with a daughter who's just started kindergarten. But when you see their faces clearly, it's as if you're struck by lightning! The pink-haired girl with those unique horn-like hairpieces looks just like Anya, the protagonist from the popular anime Spy x Family! The man in the green suit with short blond hair is unmistakably the renowned master spy—Twilight! And the tall, stunning woman with long hair must be Yor, the deadly assassin known as the 'Thorn Princess.' As for the white dog Anya is holding, it must be Bond, the dog with precognitive abilities.]
[You realise at that moment that you have somehow crossed over into the world of Spy x Family. Still in shock, you overlook Anya staring at you excitedly—your identity as a "transmigrator" has already been exposed...]
Seeing the content displayed on the simulation panel, Xiao Feng couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
A transmigrator without any cheat abilities, appearing before Anya who can read minds? It would be nearly impossible to hide his identity.
[One Month In: You're thrilled after receiving your first paycheck and decide to treat yourself to a big meal. But as soon as you step outside, you realise you're being followed. You glance back at the fire hydrant and spot that familiar tuft of pink hair along with those horn-like hairpieces. You shake your head helplessly. Ever since Anya accidentally read your thoughts and uncovered your secret of being a transmigrator, she has taken a great interest in you. Although you also adore the cute Anya, you try to keep your distance from her dangerous family, given Twilight and Yor's work. Soon, you arrive at a famous snack shop, order some inexpensive but delicious food, and begin enjoying your meal. As you eat, you notice Anya staring at you hungrily from outside the glass window. After staring at her big, pleading eyes for a while, your heart softens. You wave her over and order her a kids' meal. Because both of you share secrets you can't reveal, and you each know the other's secrets, it's only natural that you two become close friends...]
[Three Months In Now that you've inevitably become friends with Anya, you start using her mind-reading ability to help you survive better in this world. You take her to various lottery events, successfully securing your first bit of capital. Then, based on the business opportunities Anya overhears, you quickly make millions. Now, a wealthy man, you quit your job as a waiter and buy a 500-square-meter villa. According to your agreement with Anya, you split the money 50-50, so half of the villa belongs to her. At Anya's request, you redecorate half of the rooms in her favourite style, filling them with designer clothes, toys, and comics. Whenever Twilight and Yor are out on missions, Anya brings Bond over to the villa to hang out with you. Without even realising it, you start treating Anya as your daughter...]
[Five Months In One Day, while you're buying amusement park tickets to take Anya out the next day, you hear her voice behind you. You instinctively turn around to see her riding Bond, rushing towards you with a look of panic. Although you're a bit surprised to see her, you smile and wave. However, in her eyes filled with despair, the man in black behind you opens his briefcase and activates the bomb, just as Bond foresaw. In an instant, the explosion engulfs you, and you die.]
[Simulation Ended!]
[Now drawing simulation rewards. Please purchase any desired simulation rewards first, and then a random reward will be selected.]
[Anya's Mind-Reading Ability (Price: 50,000 Merit Points)]
[Bond's Precognition Ability (Price: 100,000 Merit Points)]
[Yor's Gold Needle (Price: 1 Merit Point)]
[Twilight's Custom Suit (Price: 1 Merit Point)]

[Deluxe Kids' Meal (Price: 1 Merit Point)]
[Penguin Plushie (Price: 1 Merit Point)]
[Iced Lemonade (Price: 1 Merit Point)]
[Butter Bread (Price: 1 Merit Point)]
Seeing this, Xiao Feng immediately spent eight merit points to buy the eight cheapest rewards and then randomly selected from the remaining two rewards.
"Whoosh!!!"
When Xiao Feng opened the chest, a pink ball of light, about the size of a fist, flew out.
Curious, Xiao Feng touched the light ball, and a flood of information appeared in his mind—it was Anya's mind-reading ability.
"Use!"
As soon as Xiao Feng mentally activated it, the pink light ball entered his forehead.
[What should I eat tonight?]
[That Xiao Feng guy is really handsome, but I wonder if he's all looks and no skill...]
[Soul Scattering Powder and Five-Step Poison—Combining these two should increase the toxicity several times. It should be a Grade 4 poison now...]
Before Xiao Feng could react, a flood of chaotic thoughts poured into his mind from all directions.
