Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Immediately afterwards, he was startled by his own thoughts.

How could I…?

Zhang Lingyu, her mind in turmoil, lowered her head.

"It feels like a pit has been dug, waiting for people to jump in."

Fang Rui expressed his amazement, but Ma Xianhong remained expressionless and offered no comment.

He hated both the 'company' and the Quanxing.

Let's fight! It's best if we both suffer heavy losses!

As Ma Xianhong sorted through the blueprints, he decided to study them again tonight to see if he could find any areas for improvement.

"If you want to set a trap, I can send some people to help."

Fang Rui said with a smile.

"Okay, we'll let you know once we've discussed it." Lu Jin nodded slightly, expressing her anticipation for the trap set by the weapon refiner.

"When will the company's people arrive?" Fang Rui asked upon hearing this.

"If it's as soon as today, it might be as late as tomorrow," Lu Jin replied.

Chapter 127 A Slightly Changed Plan

After the conversation ended, Fang Rui and Ma Xianhong took their leave and followed Zhang Lingyu to the residence provided by the Zhengyi Sect, a rather historic Chinese-style bungalow with a spacious courtyard.

The others who came with Fang Rui and Ma Xianhong lived in the area near the house.

Ma Xianhong was studying the design drawings inside the house, while Fang Rui chose to go to the world of fox spirits.

[Loading the world...]

As a circular passage filled with countless rapidly flowing lines of colored light appeared in his field of vision, Fang Rui felt himself moving forward at a rapid pace...

A few seconds later, the colored light lines disappeared, and what appeared in Fang Rui's field of vision was an alley between two buildings. The walls on both sides, made of blue bricks, were pitted and uneven, and it was obvious that the walls had been built a long time ago.

His gaze fell ahead, where the road connecting to the alley was a main thoroughfare bustling with people. One after another, people dressed in simple, ancient clothing entered his field of vision and then left.

'Not in the forest.'

Fang Rui thought to himself, having already confirmed his location.

We now have a better understanding of the login process in the simulation scenario. After exiting the simulation scenario last time, logging back in may not necessarily return us to the same location. As for the timing...

The same principle applies!

After asking a passerby, Fang Rui learned that more than two hundred years had passed since his last login.

"I hope the idiot who ambushed me wasn't killed by any other person or demon. After all, I'm a vengeful person, and I won't feel at ease until I kill that guy once."

With that in mind, Fang Rui began to wander around the town, unlocking the fog of war on the map, increasing his exploration progress, and acquiring virtual currency.

Meanwhile, observing the town, one sees shops lining the streets and pedestrians bustling about, all testifying to the town's prosperity.

During the period when the war between humans and monsters was not over, if a human town had a large and prosperous population, it meant that the town could withstand a certain degree of monster calamity. Of course, it could also mean that it was located in the core area of ​​the human world.

According to the information Fang Rui gathered while wandering around the city, the area where the town is located is on the edge of the human world, so it is often attacked by monsters.

A cultivator who can withstand wave after wave of demonic tides must be incredibly strong; the word "powerful" is certainly an understatement.

Moreover, according to the information he gathered, there were quite a few cultivators stationed in the city.

"Oh dear, this looks like things are going to get a bit complicated."

Fang Rui spoke in a slightly strange tone while patting talismans onto his body.

Invisibility charm, you know you possess it!

As for the concealment talisman, Fang Rui didn't need it. The Six Treasures Immortal Thief's aura concealment was at least A+ level.

Fang Rui's infiltration of the cultivators' settlement was smooth and easy, with no obstacles along the way.

It was noon, and most cultivators were having lunch, either in their private residences or in the common living room... but some special areas still needed to be guarded.

For example, a vault for storing treasures and a library...

Fang Rui's first stop was the library, but unfortunately, the books there disappointed him. The recorded techniques were all very ordinary, mostly basic, and lacked any profound content.

"Thinking about it carefully, it's quite normal that there aren't any rare books in the library. After all, the cultivators guarding the library are very weak, and they would be easily stolen if left here..."

After reading through all the spells in the library, Fang Rui headed to the treasure vault of the outpost. The guards were very strong, so Fang Rui's method was to launch a sneak attack and defeat them in one blow.

Then everything in the treasure vault was put into a cloth bag and hidden somewhere within the base.

After that, they would ambush cultivators one after another, knock them unconscious, and then search for books recording techniques like robbers breaking into a house. They would be happy for a while for each book they found, and if they found nothing, their desire for the "Dual-Handed Technique" would increase.

The ability to freely access other people's memories is really useful in some ways!

It seems I need to find a way to get my hands on the cultivation manual for the Dual-Handed Technique!

Otherwise, it will interfere with my spell collection!

With that thought in mind, Fang Rui looted the camp and left a note on a wall inside the treasure vault: "Fang Rui was here." Then he left carrying a bag of treasures.

Several hours later, the awakened cultivators roared angrily, alarming the entire town as they searched for the arrogant thief.

Meanwhile, Fang Rui had already left and was on his way to other towns.

For various reasons, in the outer areas of the human world, in the areas between towns, no matter how many times cultivators clean up, there are always a bunch of monsters entrenched, doing the work of "this mountain is mine, this tree is mine, if you want to pass through, leave your toll."

Therefore, on his way to other towns, Fang Rui was stopped by a group of bandits. He looked at the bandits, who were made up of monsters such as dog-headed men, wolf-headed men, and pig-headed men, and listened to the monsters discussing things like "I want a leg," "I want a hand," and "I want a heart."

Fang Rui revealed a rather "kind" smile, slowly raised his right arm, palm facing the group of monsters, and said softly:

"Spell—Master the Five Thunders!!!"

One of the spells from the spell gift pack, its name and spell principle come from Mastering the Five Thunders, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques.

Although its power is not as strong as the Five Thunders Technique, one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques described in the text, it cannot be weak in terms of power, given that it is given this name!

A dazzling azure lightning erupted from Fang Rui's palm, like a river bursting its banks. The surging waves of lightning engulfed everything in its path, turning everything—flowers, trees, rocks, and soil—into dust under the onslaught of the lightning.

A few ordinary demons were naturally no match for such a powerful spell. They vanished without even a scream, amidst the roar of thunder.

"Ah~" Fang Rui ran his right hand through his jet-black hair, slowly pushing it back, and looked up at the azure sky, his voice low and somber: "I'm in a bad mood!"

Although I know that humans and monsters are at war and such things happen from time to time, it is still infuriating to actually encounter them, even in a simulated scenario!

But world peace is impossible for him to achieve, after all, he's just a player...

but……

"I may be able to offer some insignificant help for world peace."

For some unknown reason, Fang Rui revealed a chilling smile.

He then changed course, temporarily canceling or, more accurately, postponing his plan to plunder various human sects, as he needed to make some preparations before taking action.

With the idea of ​​not wasting virtual currency, Fang Rui used this location as a center and traveled rapidly across an area of ​​thousands of miles, unlocking the fog of war on the map and attracting many little demon kings to chase after him.

Afterwards, Fang Rui fought against ten demon kings who were chasing him, and then manually exited the simulation scene.

Chapter 128 Well Prepared

[This simulation has ended. You have explored 0.05% of the human realm, collecting 103 spells and 209 spiritual materials.]

[Reward: 5000 Simoleons.]

"The harvest was quite substantial."

Fang Rui muttered something to himself, switched the interface to text simulation, silently recited "Dual-Handed" in his mind, selected "year" as the time unit, and then started the simulation.

In the first year, after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony ended, you returned to Biyou Village and met Qu Tong. After spending some time alone with Ma Xianhong, Qu Tong left Biyou Village by car, and you seized the opportunity to kidnap her.

By demonstrating force, threatening words, and patiently persuading, you successfully got Qu Tong to reveal the cultivation method of the "Dual-Handed Technique".

The turmoil in the world of supernatural beings has not affected Biyou Village, and the afforestation plan is progressing steadily.

In the second year, you diligently studied the Double-Handed Technique and your proficiency improved rapidly. One day, Ma Xianhong happened to meet Chen Duo while he was out on business and took her back to Biyou Village. Personnel from the company who were inquiring about and handling the matter arrived at Biyou Village one after another.

After some discussion, Chen Duo was allowed to remain in Biyou Village as a patient, with Liao Zhong accompanying her as her guardian. Three months later, Chen Duo's health issues were resolved, and after a check-up at her company, she was granted the right to reside outside the village and settled there.

Another week has passed, and the initial batch of planted 'spiritual trees' has been in place for some time. Some areas have begun to show abnormalities, drawing the company's attention.

In the third year, you attempted to use your dual-wielding hands to modify poultry and create legendary beasts, but unfortunately, you failed every time.

The energy tides have begun to show results; plants and animals are growing rapidly under the nourishment of that energy, and discussions about the revitalization of spiritual energy are rampant online.

In the fourth year, you began researching spells related to dual-wielding, but have yet to achieve any results.

Due to energy tides, supernatural beings have come into the open, with martial arts and technology developing in parallel.

[In the fifth year, your research has yielded results, and you have developed several spells related to memory.]

As energy concentration rises again, marine life begins to change, and sea monsters emerge.

[In the sixth year, you...]

Looking at the text displayed on the simulator, Fang Rui rubbed his cheek and muttered to himself, "It takes more than two years for the energy tide to show initial results. The time required is a bit long... We need to find a way to shorten it a bit."

Instead of focusing on the subsequent simulations, he turned his attention to the energy tides: "Let me think about what to do..."

The simplest way is to plant more trees.

According to Fang Rui, the reason why it took more than two years to create an energy tide is twofold: firstly, it takes time for energy to accumulate to a level sufficient to create an energy tide; secondly, the number of 'spiritual trees' is relatively small, and the accumulation speed is slow.

Therefore, the simplest solution is the variety of trees that Fang Rui mentioned earlier. As long as there are enough "spiritual trees", the time required to accumulate energy can be reduced.

The problem is... we have a lot of "spiritual trees" in stock, but we are short of people to plant them.

"It seems I need to think of a new way to plant trees."

Fang Rui's eyes flickered slightly. If he remembered correctly, there was a demon clan in the fox demon world called the Moon Cry Clan. The magical artifact they possessed, the Seven Treasures Tree Bark, had the ability to control all plants.

If he could obtain the magical treasure—the bark of the Seven Treasures Tree—it would be an excellent aid to his tree-planting plan.

"You can give it a try."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Rui made his decision.

With this matter resolved, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the simulator interface. The text was constantly refreshing. With unparalleled strength and the life-extending ability of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, each simulation was a novel of at least several hundred thousand words.
