**Great You Kingdom**
**Qingshan City, Jiang Mansion.**
"Ding, life simulator is binding..."
Jiang Yifeng, who was lying in the arms of his maid, enjoying a relaxing massage, suddenly heard an electronic voice echo in his mind.
"What?"
Jiang Yifeng was startled and immediately waved his hand, sending the maid away.
At the same time, lines of text appeared in his mind.
[Life Simulator lv1]
[Host: Jiang Yifeng]
[Age: 20]
[Number of simulations: 3]
[Energy value: 0]
(Note: Everything contains energy. The host can exchange items for energy value by touching them; the host can see the corresponding energy value of all items by silently reciting in their heart.)
[Function 1: You can simulate a life once a week, with up to 3 chances stored.]
[Function 2: After each simulation, you can spend energy to exchange for part of the rewards. (Rewards can be exchanged before the next simulation!)]
[Tip: Since this is your first time obtaining the simulator, 3 simulation chances are granted!]
[Do you want to start the simulation?]
[Yes] [No]
Looking at the system panel in his mind, Jiang Yifeng couldn't contain his excitement.
"It's been five years, Golden Finger, you're finally here!"
"Do you have any idea how I've been living all these years?"
"I've done nothing but listen to music, drink, and waste my life surrounded by women!"
"I am a good young man of the 21st century, yet I am stuck in this luxurious and decadent lifestyle! Do you understand how painful this is?"
Yes, Jiang Yifeng is a time traveler.
Five years ago, he inexplicably traveled from Earth to this alien world and became the prince of the Jiang Chamber of Commerce in the Great You Kingdom.
The Jiang Chamber of Commerce is a prominent and wealthy business in the Great You Kingdom, with vast amounts of wealth.
After arriving in this new world, Jiang Yifeng began a life of indulgence—drinking, visiting brothels, and becoming the most infamous playboy in Qingshan City.
Jiang Yifeng never wanted to live like this. He wanted to struggle and achieve something, but he didn't know how to begin.
The most tempting part was that beautiful women and fine wine were nearly impossible to resist!
According to the memories he inherited from the original owner of this body, this world seemed similar to ancient times on Earth.
It was a world of multiple dynasties, each ruled by different powers. There were also chivalrous warriors—martial artists who practiced unique combat techniques, not unlike the martial arts in Earth's ancient past. It was fine for staying fit, but actual combat was just above average.
This led Jiang Yifeng to completely abandon any idea of self-improvement and instead embrace the life of a playboy. After all, with the wealth and protection offered by the Jiang Chamber of Commerce, who needed to worry about power or influence?
Now that the golden finger—his simulator—had appeared, Jiang Yifeng was eager to see what kind of changes it might bring.
Without hesitation, he said in his mind, "Start simulation!"
[Consume 1 simulation chance. Remaining chances: 2]
[Detecting lack of energy value, randomly drawing a white talent...]
Jiang Yifeng was momentarily confused.
"Wait, there wasn't a talent drawing option mentioned in the system description!"
"If I had known, I would have collected energy first!"
"Hurry up! Start again! Start again!"
Unfortunately, the simulator did not respond to his plea.
Sighing, Jiang Yifeng gave up and decided to look at the results.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the white talent: Three-Minute Surge.]
[Three-Minute Surge]: You are exceptionally strong for three minutes each day.
Jiang Yifeng stared at the talent description, feeling a mix of confusion and disappointment.
"What the hell?"
"Three minutes a day of strength? Who do you think you're fooling?"
"It seems there's no such thing as a free lunch!"
After complaining a bit, Jiang Yifeng continued to examine the simulation panel.
[The first simulation begins.]
[Jiang Mansion, you, having acquired the golden finger, decide to turn over a new leaf and shake off your identity as a playboy.]
[On that day, you visit the most famous martial arts hall in Qingshan City, the Wu Family Martial Arts Hall, and express your desire to learn martial arts.]
[Although you think martial arts in this world may not be impressive, with the golden finger in your possession, you feel confident that you might still achieve something remarkable.]
[Though Wu Youdao, the owner of the Wu Family Martial Arts Hall, believes that you can't handle the hardships of martial arts, he accepts you as a disciple after a financial push from you.]
[In the morning, you hold a horse stance for an hour.]
[In the afternoon, you hold the horse stance for half an hour.]
[In the evening, after a full day of training, you decide to relax by inviting a few friends to the Chunyanlou to listen to music.]
[That night, you "trained" for three minutes, but couldn't keep it up.]
[It wasn't until the afternoon the next day that you recovered and staggered out of Chunyanlou.]
[You think to yourself that it was too much effort the night before and that it's better to take a break from martial arts today. You decide to rest at home and strengthen your training the next day.]
Jiang Yifeng's face darkened as he read this.
"What is this nonsense? 'Training' for three minutes? And then resting until the afternoon? What kind of talent is that?"
"I must be cursed or something!"
Despite his complaints, he continued reading the simulation.
[On the third day, your good friend Liang Zhilei invites you to drink and write poetry, but you refuse, saying you'll practice martial arts tomorrow. However...]
[That night, you live the same decadent life of drunkenness and dreams. You "trained" for three minutes again.]
[On the fourth day, you went to a brothel to enjoy music, and that night you "stood strong" for three minutes.]
[On the fifth day, you continued to drink and revel in excess...]
...
[A year has passed. You practiced martial arts for a total of one hour and thirty minutes, spent 364 days listening to music in brothels, and "trained" for three minutes every single night.]
Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng's face twisted in disbelief.
"Is this really me? Only three minutes of effort each day, and the rest of my time spent in indulgence?"
"This is beyond ridiculous. There must be something wrong with this!"
"Can't I just work hard to improve my martial arts and explore the world of chivalry?"
"Let's get serious this time."
Determined, Jiang Yifeng shouted silently in his mind, focusing once again on the simulation panel.
[On the second year's first day, you decide you can't continue living like this. You refuse the invitations of your friends to visit brothels and focus on martial arts.]
[On the first day, you practiced martial arts for half a day before collapsing.]
[On the second day, you practiced for two hours, then lay down for the rest of the day.]
[On the third day, you practiced martial arts for one hour.]
[On the fourth day, you succumbed to temptation and visited a brothel again...]
...
[Ten years passed without you realizing it.]
[You've shouted slogans of struggle countless times, but real progress has been nearly non-existent.]
[In the past ten years, Jiang Fushan, your father, has worked tirelessly to grow Jiang's business.]
[Now, Jiang's business is the largest in the Great You Kingdom, wealthy enough to rival entire nations.]
[In the eleventh year, Jiang's business secured a major deal, and your father went on a business trip to the neighboring Liang State.]
[In the twelfth year, you noticed your father seemed increasingly anxious, as if he was hiding something.]
[In the thirteenth year, you witnessed a man in black standing outside your mansion, riding the wind and floating in the air.]
[The man in black didn't say a word but slapped the air, sending a massive palm shadow crashing down.]
[Your mansion instantly collapsed, and you were struck directly.]
[In an instant, you died at the age of 33.]
[The simulation ends.]
[You can choose one reward from this simulation: Surge of Energy (Talent), Martial Arts Experience (8.5 hours), or Music Immersion Experience (Ten Years).]
[Surge of Energy (Talent): Requires 100 Energy.]
[Martial Arts Experience (8.5 hours): Requires 0 Energy.]
[Music Immersion Experience (Ten Years): Requires 0 Energy.]
Jiang Yifeng's eyes widened as he looked at the options.
"Immortal cultivator? Riding the wind and standing in the void? Crushing my entire mansion with one palm?"
"Is this really happening?"
Jiang Yifeng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
After five years of living in this world, he had learned that this world was an ancient society divided by dynasties.
But now... Immortal cultivators were real.
And they were coming for his family.
This was beyond comprehension. Without the simulator, his entire family would have been wiped out in just a few short years.
Luckily, now he knew.
He had a chance to change it all.
