Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

For those who were saved, especially those who held higher positions in the Matrix, reality was a nightmare from which they could not wake up.

The matrix of Hai Si has been established for a long time. Apart from some immortal beings, many ordinary people have reproduced for several generations, and those children are born in the matrix.

"We have to save them!" the squad leader said firmly. "No matter what they think."

"The city's plan is to observe for a period of time; those willing to cooperate with the reconstruction work will be treated as normal citizens, while those who harbor resentment and might turn against Hai Si... will be killed on the spot!"

A thousand years of battles have imbued this civilization with an aura of iron and blood.

Compared to some fellow humans who grew up in different environments and whose loyalty is uncertain, they are more concerned with weakening Hai Si and preventing the other party from continuing to profit.

Destroy the matrix in one fell swoop!

But the advance on the front line came to a halt.

It turns out that not only in Rome, but also after acquiring the human brain matrix, Hai Si has learned to hide his trump cards, and highly evolved specialized individuals are coming from the deep sea.

Opinions have also diverged within Rome regarding whether to invest more technology and military force into this seemingly endless battle—clearly, Haisi has not yet exerted its full strength.

The most powerful individuals, whom they regarded as gods, had not yet appeared in their primordial existence.

In the midst of this tense situation, with a snap, one of the vesicles burst.

Chen Jie (Kalin) climbed out of it.

A faint light was lit in his hand, but the surrounding illusions did not disappear.

He could only pluck a few tentacles from his body and take out his clothes from the dimensional rift to put on.

Three philosophical questions are now available.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

All around were disgusting fleshy walls and vesicles, and many people were sealed in red jelly with tentacles inserted into the back of their heads.

Chen Jie subconsciously reached up and touched the back of his head, and realized he seemed to have a similar interface...

"Simulator?"

I'm here

"So all of this wasn't an illusion?"

In retrospect, those years you spent in Night City were just an illusion.

"WTF!"

Or rather, a virtual world so realistic it's indistinguishable from reality.

Chen Jie looked around, and she finally realized where the sense of familiarity came from.

"So it's not Cyberpunk, it's The Matrix!"

The biological version.

Haisi is now even raising people?

Haisi even knows how to raise children!

"I wonder if there are any other living people left in this world."

Look, aren't they all around your feet?

"Those who are kept by Hai Si don't count!"

Wrapped up and given nutrition, isn't that a shortened form of "sugar baby"?

"Am I the only awakened one, like Neo, a legendary savior destined to awaken humanity and fight against the Sea Siege?"

No matter how great the task, it's clear that in that final breakthrough, your hourglass ran out of time.

Chen Jie looked at the hourglass and saw that it had indeed turned gray.

Sent!

Chapter 155, Chapter Fifty-One—To Be Continued—Awakening from a Dream

At the seven o'clock position, it appears that humans and sea monsters are engaged in battle.

"Are you sure that with my current luck level, I won't be targeted by both sides at the same time?" Chen Jie retorted. "Also, I didn't see anything, so how did you see it?"

My observational skills are slightly better than yours.

"alright."

"Even if there are humans in this world, and they are engaged in a heroic and tragic battle with Hai Si, I will not be able to make contact with them until the next simulation."

He took out a lump of soul steel, set it up, and it turned into a huge coffin. Then he took out a Sequence 3 Ice Core and embedded it in the coffin.

A simple hibernation pod is now complete.

He had never copied the Ice Core before, but when he defeated the berserk Third Herrscher as Biora, a few of them exploded. It is likely that Anti-Entropy copied them in some way and used them as cooling devices for the giant mech.

So, by collecting items into dimensional gaps and expanding the number of items, this came in handy.

A drill emerged from beneath the hibernation chamber, burrowing the entire coffin deep into the ground.

This simulation has ended.

Start settlement

——ToBeContined—— Like Waking from a Dream

That eternal slumber is not a lie; in the wondrous realm of the spirit, the barrier between illusion and reality has long since blurred.

Congratulations on unlocking new terms: Fat, Unconventional, Law Enforcer, Calm and Composed

Fat person (+10): You desperately try to lose weight, only to discover that your body gains weight even from drinking water.

Unconventional (+5): I'm not wrong, the world is wrong!

Law Enforcer (-10): You hold the identity of a law enforcement officer and are recognized by the general public (but not necessarily by the authorities).

Calm and collected (-5): "Wow, bro, look, a really big beauty just walked by, she must be an E cup, right?!" "Oh."

"Human, you're awake. From the outside, it really looks like you just lay down and sat up in an instant."

The familiar bed, the familiar ceiling, the familiar sounds, and the familiar smell of terrible food.

"I made some barbecue, do you want some?"

So here's the question: what kind of grilling method can he do in the short few minutes between entering the simulation, selecting the entry, and waking up?

They probably cooked it with acid!

"No."

His true form is still a mortal body, and he cannot enjoy the delicacies of a Herrscher level.

Your performance in this simulation is rated as: ★★★

If the maximum score is five stars, then you've achieved a passing grade, but unfortunately you haven't.

Your total points earned in this simulation are: 105 (base points) * 3 (evaluation coefficient) = 315 points

Adding to the previous 570 points, Chen Jie has now accumulated 885 points.

However, whether it's the Herrscher core worth tens of thousands or the complete set of Honkai energy characteristics worth hundreds of thousands, they all seem a bit short of money.

Available items and abilities: Click to browse

Chen Jie took a look and realized that Night City actually had all those advanced technologies!

It's perfectly normal; those things weren't made up out of thin air.

The simulator answered his questions.

In the Matrix world that Hai Si created, everything had a prototype, including the Holy Roman Empire and that emperor… These technological creations were also things that could actually be built and used, not just completely fictional data.

The only fictional element is probably the floating squid guardian that defies the law of conservation of mass at the end.

However, you'd better not have too high expectations for the advanced technology in the Ark world. Ultimately, much of it is just a reshaped Originium staff with its own engine.

"I understand, I'll stop after this free draw."

Washing hands and face, praying to gods and Buddhas, what are these rituals and practices?

No way! This lucky person is just that confident; they'll just click to draw!

微光

Quality: Exceptional

Conditions for use: Having hope in one's heart.

Unfading Light: Extracted and solidified Originium Arts, a small lamp that burns eternally. It may not be bright, but in the boundless darkness and terror, it can preserve a sliver of your inner sanity.

While wielding the Glimmer, your mental strength will be locked and will not drop below 1, regardless of the type of mental attack you suffer (the intensity of which cannot exceed Ascension+).

"nice one!"

This means that the most useful items in the entire prize pool have been drawn.

A pattern emerges from these lotteries: the simulator will assist him to the best of its ability.

This isn't using a back door; this is using the VIP lane!

Mental protective equipment.

Every time Chen Jie acquired a new piece of equipment, he wanted to find a way to test it, but unfortunately, there was no one around who knew how to use mental attacks.

Let's try coupling it with SP-2 and see what interesting new abilities we can develop.

When he retrieved the equipment from the dimensional rift, he suddenly discovered that everything he had stored in the Matrix world was still there!

"Could it be that, like Oliveira's ability, she can pull things out of the fantasy world?"

Let's do an experiment first. We took out a dirty piece of clothing from it.

Back then, as Karin, I was infected by my innate laziness. I was often too lazy to change my clothes, and when they got dirty, I would just throw them into the dimensional rift and then buy new ones...

...59, 60!

Disappeared.

The ability rules are similar to those for creating counterfeits.

Then I tried taking out a dirty piece of clothing and putting it back. Sixty seconds later, the dirty clothing disappeared directly into the dimensional gap.

It can exist stably in the gap between dimensions, but once it is taken out and exposed to reality, it will begin to disintegrate irreversibly.

Understanding these rules didn't bring Chen Jie much joy. The biggest problem now was how to extract the gains from this simulation.

The knowledge-based ones are alright; Hai Si is quite honest, and what I learned in the matrix is ​​real.

However, the Originium ore exploration equipment that was specifically purchased for the present world cannot be retrieved, nor can the blueprints...

I was originally planning to use this thing to dig out that prophet who had been hiding for hundreds of years as soon as possible!

However, there are always more solutions than problems in this world, as long as we don't give up.

Chen Jie turned his gaze to the fairy Ellie, who was devouring the barbecue. The juice that accidentally splashed out easily burned a large, charred hole in the expensive mahogany table.

"Although concentrated sulfuric acid will show burn marks when it is poured on something, you can't use it as a way to cook food quickly."

"I'll definitely pay attention next time."

You said that after she made some terrible food, she knew there was something wrong with what she made, but at least she would eat it all herself and not waste any.

Damn it, they're really taking advantage of their Herrscher status to do whatever they want.

Chen Jie suspected that she was capable of doing normal things, but she just couldn't control her active nature and always wanted to try new things.

It's too advanced for Earthlings to accept.

"Do me a favor, do this first, then..."

Chen Jie took out the Soul Steel, modified the program, and created two scanning machines.

The fairy Ellie entered the dimensional rift with her equipment to photograph the blueprints and scan the finished product.

She came out after she finished.

"Indeed, I am a genius!"
