In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 16: A Lifetime: Cyber ​​Brothels, Electronic Welfare Girls?

"The Dragon Group has finally shown up?"

Lu Yuan had anticipated this.

Before this.

He had been assassinated by the Red Lotus Cult on several occasions.

Thanks to its own formidable strength.

That's how he managed to escape danger and live to this day.

"The decline of martial arts is a foregone conclusion. If you insist on going your own way, you will find yourself in danger sooner or later."

Ye Tianxiong stared at Lu Yuan, his expression somewhat complicated.

Actually.

He harbored no hostility towards Lu Yuan; on the contrary, he quite admired him.

But when you're in the world of martial arts, you're not always in control of your own destiny.

There are some things that are beyond his control.

"Is it?"

"I've heard that you are hailed as the number one martial artist, senior. I am not very talented, so I humbly request your guidance!"

Lu Yuan didn't want to waste words.

Debating scriptures only hinders brain development; fists are the answer to everything.

Who's right and who's wrong? We'll only know after we fight!

Ye Tianxiong smiled.

Because Lu Yuan's actions were very much to his liking.

The two attacked without holding back any strength.

The two figures collided instantly, like shooting stars from outer space.

But after the fight...

Lu Yuancai was stunned to discover that his opponent was actually at the pinnacle of martial arts!
However, Ye Tianxiong seemed to have used some kind of secret medicine, which depleted all his potential.

As a result, he possessed the realm but lacked the corresponding strength.

But anyway.

Ye Tianxiong was ultimately the first martial arts master he had ever encountered!
This battle.

This was the most difficult battle Lu Yuan had ever faced since his debut.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan possessed profound and powerful internal energy, and had already mastered many advanced martial arts techniques to perfection.

And immediately activated the "Heaven rewards diligence" program.

Lu Yuan fought for a day and a night, his entire body covered in wounds, not a single spot was unscathed.

However, the effect of "Heaven rewards diligence" is incredibly powerful.

As long as you don't die, you can become stronger rapidly in battle!
Ye Tianxiong's situation wasn't much better.

As Lu Yuan's combat experience grew, so did his.

He gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, and eventually fled wounded and defeated.

Watching Ye Tianxiong's retreating figure.

Lu Yuan didn't dare to linger and turned to leave in another direction.

It didn't take long.

A five-person squad suddenly appeared in this place.

But when they finally arrived...

The place is now completely empty, leaving only a cratered battlefield.

The ground was riddled with holes, and several nearby hills were almost completely leveled.

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement.

They usually only knew that the captain was very strong, but they didn't know just how strong he was.

Until I saw this earth-shattering, sea-overturning power.

They finally understood the terrifying nature of the pinnacle of martial arts.

What alarmed them even more was...

Judging from the remaining traces of the battle.

Lu Yuan, a rising star, was able to hold his own against Ye Tianxiong.

Such talent and potential are truly unbelievable.

"No trace of Lu Yuan has been found. It seems the captain has failed."

"The captain has been missing ever since, and I'm afraid he's in grave danger."

"This matter is of great importance and must be reported to Dr. Chen immediately!"

……

Wudang Mountain.

Inside a secret room.

It took Lu Yuan two months of dedicated recuperation to fully recover from his injuries.

[Defying Fate: You traveled south to discuss martial arts, single-handedly promoting the art and temporarily slowing its decline.]

[Reward: 2 simulation points!]

Main storyline completion: 60%!

[Simulation rating upgraded to S level!]

The arrival of the (Five Obstacles) calamity has been postponed by twenty years!

[Your strength has broken through to the Grandmaster level in Martial Arts; the duration of 'Heaven Rewards Diligence' has been increased to twenty hours!]

"Has the arrival of the Five Obstacles Calamity been postponed?"

A beep is heard.

Lu Yuan looked surprised, even more surprised than if he had won the lottery.

Because the simulator is an outsider, it is difficult for them to be accepted by the will of the reincarnated world. The longer they stay...

The rejection from the world's will will also become stronger.

this means.

The Sims has a time limit.

Most Sims reincarnate every forty years.

However, the higher the world level, the longer the reincarnation time will be.

However, if this time is exceeded, the simulator will encounter the Five Obstacles Calamity.

The so-called "five obstacles".

It means shutting down the senses, losing all perception, and even distorting cognition.

He could not see, could not hear, could not speak, could not smell, and could not move.

Even if you were presented with an exceptionally beautiful woman, you wouldn't feel any desire for her.

Moreover, the Five Obstacles Calamity is a real injury that can ignore realm and cultivation level.

No matter how high your martial arts skills or how strong your strength are.

Once the Five Obstacles calamity befalls you, you will eventually suffer a mental breakdown, go insane, and die.

This is why many simulators, despite being able to wield immense power and indulge in a life of luxury in their reincarnated world, are forced to return to the main world.

The only way to avoid the Five Obstacles is to increase the world's recognition of you!

But Lu Yuan didn't expect that.

After I increased the main storyline completion rate to 60%, I actually postponed the Five Obstacles Calamity by twenty years!
This is absolutely a pleasant surprise!

"If I can continue to improve the completion rate of the main storyline, wouldn't I be able to stay in this world longer, or even stay permanently?"

Lu Yuan was filled with emotion, but he quickly calmed down.

To promote martial arts, I spent a full ten years visiting thousands of martial arts schools.

They also spend huge amounts of money and manpower to buy traffic and promote on major media platforms to continuously expand their influence.

The final battle.

He narrowly escaped death and was almost killed by Ye Tianxiong.

It is the result of a combination of factors that has led to our achievements today.

The higher the completion rate of the main storyline, the richer the rewards in the simulated settlement.

Passing is easy, but getting a perfect score is difficult.

The later you get, the more difficult it becomes to complete the main storyline.

Achieving 100% completion is virtually impossible.

Lu Yuan wasn't that greedy.

An S-level rating, plus 60% completion of the main storyline.

Even if he quits The Sims now, he can still receive a generous reward.

"I am still young, and there are still 45 years before the arrival of the Five Obstacles."

"During this period, I might be able to try to get a higher simulation rating."

Lu Yuan clenched his fist.

Since the last battle, his obsession with becoming stronger has become stronger than ever before.

After all injuries have healed and no hidden dangers remain.

Lu Yuan then took out his phone and checked the thousands of unreceived messages.

As soon as he unlocked the screen.

A short video ad suddenly popped up.

Breaking news!

"The groundbreaking virtual reality game 'Arknights' celebrates its 10th anniversary tonight at 8 PM!"

"This game was created by Dr. Chen and his team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is equipped with a brand-new virtual engine and can bring players a 100% realistic experience!"

"Join now, enjoy playing Arknights, and you can also get a free virtual reality headset!"

The female character in the video ad, wearing black stockings, has an extremely hot figure and looks very realistic.

Many netizens exclaimed that cyber brothels and electronic "welfare girls" are just around the corner.

"ark?"

Lu Yuan had some doubts.

In recent years, he has been devoted to martial arts and has paid very little attention to the gaming industry.

But the name Dr. Chen is so familiar to me that I'm practically sick of hearing it.

Chen Hongyu.

Qian Guo was a household name as a genius scholar who won the top prize in the imperial examinations.

He took the college entrance exam at eight and graduated from Tsinghua and Peking Universities at ten.

He started his master's and doctoral studies at the age of twelve and earned multiple doctoral degrees.

He developed the prototype of artificial intelligence at the age of fifteen, becoming the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the history of China.

Father of artificial intelligence, founder of the quantum engine, pioneer of gene technology...

These titles are among the least significant of his many honors.

It can be said.

Chen Hongyu single-handedly propelled human technology forward by more than thirty years.

Such extraordinary scientific talent almost made Lu Yuan think that he was the reincarnation of a simulator.

But this is not possible.

Because a low-level reincarnation world is like a single-player game, where only one simulator exists.

What Lu Yuan couldn't understand was...

Chen Hongyu is considered one of the most outstanding and brilliant scientists of the 22nd century.

Why spend so much manpower and resources to develop a large-scale virtual online game?
