Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"How do you know so much about this?! Could it be... that you've eaten it?"

Looking at Bi Yuan, who was speaking eloquently, Fang Rui had a strange look in his eyes, which contained a hint of surprise.

"Of course not!!!" Bi Yuan denied excitedly, giving a convincing reason, "How could I possibly go to **Spirit Realm? I can't possibly beat them..."

"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, I believe you," Fang Rui quickly reassured him. Once Bi Yuan calmed down, he asked again, "Then how do you know the texture is similar to rubber?"

“I guessed.” Bi Yuan rolled his eyes. “Think about it, even an ordinary kitchen knife will become very hard after being nourished by Qi for a long time. So what about meat that has been nurtured by Qi for decades, hundreds, or thousands of years?”

"Old and frail?"

Fang Rui said uncertainly, because in many online novels, whether it's a dragon that has lived for hundreds of years or anything else, as long as it's edible, it's all on the protagonist's plate, and it's very delicious... Unfortunately, that's just the plot in the novel and can't be taken as an example.

and many more……

Since it takes too long to obtain Qi, why not choose an animal that has obtained Qi for two or three years, or even less?

That's what he thought, and that's what he asked.

Bi Yuan was speechless. He just couldn't understand why Fang Rui was fixated on this point.

"Why do you insist on having the flesh of a spirit? Has some spirit offended you?"

"No," Fang Rui shook his head in denial.

He frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "I want to find more uses for animals that possess Qi."

A trace of doubt still lingered in Bi Yuan's eyes, but he said nothing. Instead, he pondered another question raised by Fang Rui... Could it have more uses?

Upon closer examination, there are quite a few. Although animals that have attained Qi are given the title of "spirits" and differ from ordinary animals, they still retain certain characteristics...

For example, cows can still produce milk after obtaining Qi, and chickens and ducks can still lay eggs after obtaining Qi...

After sharing these thoughts, Fang Rui had a look of sudden realization; he now understood why his simulated self had wanted to start a breeding farm…

As a special kind of energy, although he was unsure whether Qi could have a miraculous effect on milk and eggs, Fang Rui was certain that Qi could enhance wool.

Fang Rui couldn't be sure what changes would occur to the wool after it was enhanced with Qi, but it would at least be stronger than ordinary wool...

"I see, that's why there were textile machines in those design drawings..."

Fang Rui muttered to himself.

Bi Yuan, who was standing next to him, twitched his ear. "What textile machine? What's wrong with a textile machine?"

"Thanks~"

Fang Rui reached out and picked up a slice of watermelon, then turned and left.

I don't know why, but I suddenly have a premonition...

As Bi Yuan watched Fang Rui's departing figure, he silently felt a premonition that the future of Biyou Village was going to be chaotic.

After parting ways with Bi Yuan, Fang Rui walked through the village, looking around in all directions, searching for a suitable place to build a breeding farm.

Biyou Village is nestled among mountains, with a small river flowing along its edge...

First, it should be excluded if it's near a river, and it also shouldn't be too close to a village.

Fang Rui's gaze fell on the area between the two mountains, and he thought, why not build the breeding farm there?

Now that the site selection is complete, the next step is to figure out how to build it...

This problem can be left to the villagers. Anyway, there's not much going on in the village, and the villagers are quite idle all day long.

With this in mind, Fang Rui found a few villagers and asked them to take charge of the matter, mainly to solve the two problems of how to build the farm and purchase livestock.

For now, we'll raise sheep and dairy cows, and we don't need too many of them; we'll just test the waters first.

"Master Fang Rui, you can rest assured and leave it to us!" a villager assured him, patting his chest.

Fang Rui nodded slightly. He was quite relieved about the matter, as it wasn't a difficult task to begin with.

After the villagers accepted the task and left, Fang Rui, who had issued the task, also left.

He had another task to complete: to "invite" Lü Huan to treat Liu Hongzhong and to serve as the manager of the breeding farm.

As for why Lü Huan was chosen as the manager of the farm, Fang Rui had a guess, but he couldn't guarantee it was correct.

However, he needed to make some preparations before leaving the village.

After all, his way of "inviting" was not very friendly, so some props for disguise purposes need to be prepared.

The combat methods also need to be changed. We can't use the combat methods of weapon refiners. It's best to use more common and unorthodox techniques. If it's too special, it will be guessed as soon as we use it.

As for the Tongtian Talisman... it's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary.

"So... I need to learn a common supernatural skill."

In previous simulations, he had learned sword energy, but sword energy is extremely destructive. If it were used as a regular attack method, perhaps more than half of the villagers in Lüjia Village would lose limbs...

So... what should I learn?

To be honest, I'm not even very clear about those common and unusual supernatural arts.

Fang Rui tilted his head and thought for a while, then decided...

Chapter 30 Arrival at Lüjia Village

Twenty-odd hours later, a text message appeared in his field of vision.

[The emulator has been upgraded. Players are welcome to explore it on their own...]

Fang Rui's attention was immediately drawn to it, and he began to examine the upgraded simulator.

First, a selectable time unit, the month, is added. Second, a low-probability random event, the otherworld adventure, is added. In short, it involves unexpectedly arriving in another world and then starting an adventure.

His situation is somewhat similar to his own...

Finally, regarding the changes in the simulated store, the top item is still "System Upgrade Patch," and the rest remains shrouded in mystery, but...

After the page is switched, a text message appears, informing the user that more and more items will be added to the store, and that these items are derived from simulated rewards and can be purchased with simulated currency.

There are currently no new ways to obtain virtual currency.

After reading the update, Fang Rui understood one thing: he no longer needed to worry about encountering situations where he wanted two or three rewards but could only choose one.

That's good news!

Switching to a different page, Fang Rui decided to give the simulator a try and see how good the emulator 2.0 was.

[First year.]

[In September, you began learning the Horizontal Training: Golden Bell Shield and successfully mastered it. You are very satisfied with your Golden Man form.]

In October, you trained diligently, slightly improving your "Iron Bell Shield" technique, and found Fu Rong lost in the mountains.

In November, with Jin Yong's help, your Horizontal Training: Golden Bell Shield skill rapidly improved...

As he watched the text continuously refresh on the screen, Fang Rui nodded slowly, having gained a sufficient understanding of what the "month" time unit added to the simulator meant.

This feature... isn't very useful!

Fang Rui thought for a while and silently said it to himself.

[Second Year]

In March, you received a message from Shen Chong about Lü Liang, who was beginning to make a name for himself within the Quanxing sect.

Some time ago, he asked Shen Chong about Lü Liang's whereabouts, so it wasn't surprising that Shen Chong would inform him after learning about Lü Liang's situation.

However... based on the information provided by the simulator, the time when Lü Huan fell off the cliff should be sometime this year. After all, from the time Lü Huan had the accident to Lü Liang escaping from Lü Family Village, and then to Lü Liang becoming famous in Quanxing, it was not something that could be done in a short time; it would take at least several months.

In other words, if he wants to "invite" a certain "doctor," he should not delay too long, otherwise... if he goes too late, there won't be any "doctors" left.

Having already made up his mind, Fang Rui quietly watched the text that kept appearing, and finally claimed the reward "Horizontal Training - Golden Bell Shield". Knowledge about Horizontal Training - Golden Bell Shield then appeared in Fang Rui's mind.

He circulated the Qi within his body according to the Qi circulation route of the Horizontal Refinement Golden Bell Cover technique, and a golden spot appeared between his eyebrows, spreading out at a visible speed, instantly turning him into a small golden figure.

Raise your arm and spin around...

Fang Rui carefully examined himself and nodded with satisfaction.

Then he struck a cool pose and lowered his voice to imitate Tartarus: "I am Fang Rui, a weapon refiner and warrior of Biyou Village..."

A gust of cold wind blew by, making Fang Rui, who was posing, feel a little cold and also a little embarrassed.

He casually observed his surroundings, and after confirming that no one was around, he withdrew his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to dust off imaginary dust from his body. He then deactivated his invincible shield mode and stepped away from the place.

He needed to hurry up and make preparations so he could leave as soon as possible, since the "doctor" couldn't wait for him for too long.

A week later, Fang Rui's wallet had 700 simulated coins added. He had not received any coins in seven consecutive simulations, nor had he encountered any random events—such as the otherworldly adventure.

After finishing all the trivial matters, Fang Rui left Biyou Village and embarked on his journey to Lüjia Village.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the mountains near Lüjia Village.

Fang Rui turned his gaze forward, and lush green forests came into view, with chirping birds coming from all directions.

He floated in the air, stepping on a ruler, and slowly moved through the mountains and forests...

After some time, he reached the top of the mountain and looked out into the distance at the rolling mountains and the villages nestled among them.

That village was Fang Rui's destination: Lü Family Village, the ancestral home of the Lü family, one of the "Four Families" with a long history.

Fang Rui looked down at Lü Family Village, recalling the intelligence gathered about it...

The Lü family has two family heirlooms... namely, the acquired Ruyi Jin and the innate Minghun Technique. The Ruyi Jin is passed down to men but not women... but that doesn't mean the women in Lü Family Village are without fighting ability.

Forcing our way in is the last resort; let's sneak in and take a look first.

Fang Rui took out a portable oxygen cylinder, checked the direction, and then used the supernatural technique of Earth Travel to dive underground.

After some time, Fang Rui arrived near Lüjia Village. He then used the Earth Immortal's accompanying skill—Secret Investigation—to investigate the surrounding area and gather information.

Although it was very well concealed, progress was extremely slow...

Just as Fang Rui's temper was getting increasingly agitated, he finally found Lü Huan, who was walking out of the village.

Lucky!

If the operation were outside the village, his capture would be much easier.

Following Lü Huan, they arrived at a hilltop. As Lü Huan stopped, Fang Rui, who was hiding underground, also stopped.
