The excitement passed, and Jiang Yifeng looked at the remaining two simulation attempts.
Instead of starting the simulation immediately, he went to find the butler, Jiang Dafu.
He asked how long it would take for the next batch of gold and silver jewelry to arrive.
Jiang Dafu hesitated for a long time before finally saying that the firm had been spending too much cash recently, making it difficult to turn around, and the next acquisition hadn't started yet.
Jiang Yifeng was taken aback, realizing that this was definitely due to his recent large-scale purchases of gold and silver jewelry.
He hadn't expected his actions to impact the Jiang Clan Firm's development so quickly.
Thinking back, it was only natural that such a large cash flow would have an effect.
However, despite the impact, Jiang Yifeng felt that he still needed to gather 10 billion energy value to upgrade the simulator quickly.
After all, money was a minor issue; rapidly improving his strength and saving himself was the major concern!
So he told Jiang Dafu to acquire another two hundred boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and then they could pause the acquisitions.
This was roughly what Jiang Yifeng had estimated. Two hundred boxes of gold and silver jewelry should amount to about 3.4 billion energy value, which should be enough to upgrade the simulator.
Once the simulator was upgraded, the Jiang Clan Firm could take a break!
After all, who knew how much energy value would be needed in the future? He still had to rely on the Jiang Clan Firm to help him; otherwise, earning it himself would be too slow.
So, he couldn't collapse the Jiang Clan Firm just for the immediate energy value.
Jiang Dafu was overjoyed to hear that Jiang Yifeng only needed another two hundred boxes of gold and silver jewelry. He praised the young master for his wisdom and then withdrew.
At this moment, Jiang Yifeng was thinking that with only two simulation attempts left, even if he waited until next week for the full three attempts, he wouldn't be able to gather 10 billion energy value.
Even if Jiang Dafu started acquiring gold and silver jewelry immediately.
It would be impossible to acquire and bring back two hundred boxes within a week.
After all, the cities near Green Hills City had almost been bought out by him, and he would need to go to more distant places for acquisitions.
So Jiang Yifeng decided not to continue storing simulation attempts.
He returned to his room and silently recited.
"Start simulation!"
[Consumed 1 simulation attempt, 1 attempt remaining]
[Drawing Green Talent consumes 1,000 energy value, drawing Blue Talent consumes 100,000 energy value, please choose!]
"Draw Blue Talent."
[Ding, 100,000 energy value deducted, drawing Blue Talent, remaining energy value 7.8 billion...]
[Congratulations, you have obtained Blue Talent: Big Eater.]
[Big Eater]: Your appetite is astonishing, and the food you consume will convert into a small amount of energy, enhancing your physical body, with a limit.
Jiang Yifeng was delighted to see this talent.
Finally, a talent that looked promising.
The talents from previous simulations were all quite useless!
Judging by the talent description, it should enhance his Martial Dao, so this simulation would focus on improving his Martial Dao.
And since it relied on eating, he would stay in Green Hills City for now.
Soon, Jiang Yifeng had a plan in mind and then looked at the simulator.
[7th simulation begins.]
[You briefly zoned out, realizing you had entered the simulation state.]
[Thinking of your newly acquired Big Eater talent, you didn't rush to leave Green Hills City.]
[On the first day, you went to the largest restaurant in Green Hills City, "Food Delight Pavilion," and ordered an entire menu.]
[After eating more than ten dishes, you still didn't feel full.]
[After consuming so much food, you felt a slight improvement in your Martial Dao cultivation.]
[The improvement was equivalent to one session of practicing the Unnamed Manual.]
[This made your eyes light up. You could only practice the Unnamed Manual once or twice a day.]
[You thought the Big Eater talent was excellent. Eating one meal was almost equivalent to a day's practice. If you ate all day, wouldn't your improvement speed skyrocket?]
[With that thought, you ordered several more menus, over a hundred dishes.]
[To avoid drawing attention, you had the restaurant deliver all the food to the Jiang Family Mansion.]
[On the second day, you didn't go to the Food Delight Pavilion yourself but had a servant order hundreds of dishes to take away, then dismissed the servant and ate alone in the courtyard.]
[On the third day, you ordered food and ate.]
[In the following days, you completely transformed into a Foodie Expert, either eating or on the way to eat.]
[This significantly accelerated your Martial Dao improvement.]
[Although you didn't quickly break through to the eighth level of body tempering, you could feel your progress in Martial Dao every day.]
[On the twelfth day, after finishing all the food, the butler Jiang Dafu brought a large batch of gold and silver jewelry and handed it to you.]
[Knowing you were in a simulation, you had no particular thoughts and dismissed him.]
[A month passed in the blink of an eye, and rumors spread in Green Hills City that the Jiang Family's cook had an accident.]
[The entire household had to order takeout from the Food Delight Pavilion.]
[This made many people envious, wanting to work for the Jiang Family.]
[Hearing this, you realized that if this continued, your gluttony would be exposed.]
[You weren't afraid of public gossip, but you feared unknown dangers.]
[After all, you thought it was impossible for a normal person to eat so much every day. You worried that the organization preventing others from cultivating might notice you.]
[So you stopped ordering from the Food Delight Pavilion and had servants buy various meats from the market instead.]
[The Jiang Family was large, so buying a few hundred pounds of meat daily wouldn't attract attention.]
[You then started grilling meat in your courtyard daily, self-sufficient.]
[This didn't slow your Martial Dao improvement; it even sped it up a bit.]
[You concluded that eating various meats provided more enhancement.]
[After all, half of the takeout from the Food Delight Pavilion was vegetarian for variety.]
[Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and your Martial Dao cultivation recently broke through to the eighth level of body tempering.]
[This year, you felt it was time to leave Green Hills City and head to the Heavenly Profound Temple in the Evergreen Mountain Range.]
[On a moonless, windy night, you left a letter and sneaked away alone.]
[Three days later, you arrived at the ruins of the Heavenly Profound Temple.]
[As usual, you buried all the remains in the ruins, erected a meticulously crafted tombstone, and cleaned up the ruins.]
[You also obtained the Immortal Dao Mental Cultivation Method, Heavenly Profound Art.]
[You then built a small wooden house beside the graveyard and resumed your gluttonous days.]
[Two months later, you realized a problem: the meat stored in your storage ring from Green Hills City wouldn't last long.]
[In just two months, you had already consumed a third of it.]
[After that, you spent a few hours daily hunting wild beasts for food.]
[In the third year, a white-robed woman appeared on schedule, mistaking you for a descendant of the ruined sect.]
[Three days later, before leaving, she found you and advised you not to reveal your cultivation easily, to carry the hope of the Heavenly Profound Temple, and to live well.]
[She then inscribed a Breath Concealing Talisman on you and gave you a Teleportation Jade Plate and a storage ring.]
