Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

The Key to Dimensions (True Shadow) (16/27) (Completion in progress 0.01%)

Although things didn't go as Chen Jie expected—the spatial core didn't appear in the dimensional rift but was instead swallowed up by the dimensional key—it was still a gain nonetheless.

A true Herrscher Core should be enough to satisfy this greedy piece of equipment!

"Chen Jie, you!!!"

Mebius's roar echoed in her mind, actually calling out his real name. In an instant, a strong spatial-temporal effect appeared, and bad luck descended. The frozen ground beneath her shook and cracked.

Dr. Mebius will likely use all the dirtiest, most obscene, old-generation slang he's ever learned.

I'm outta here, simulation over.

It is clear that doing so is unethical, but it does not violate the agreement signed between the two parties.

Don't underestimate the village chief. Although the Nebula Core is not among the thirteen Herrschers, after merging with the World Bubble, it can be considered an existence of equal rank.

It has a core and a body, making it a complete Herrscher, no problem, except that it has lost its spatial abilities, turning a dual-core into a single-core.

It doesn't violate the contract, but it's very unethical.

Even without the spatial core, Biola's combat power still surpasses S-class. Besides, Mebius is not someone who likes to fight and win by brute force. Chen Jie is about to face the collapse and more disasters. He naturally has a scale in his heart to weigh what is more important.

"I'm sorry, Doctor. If we meet again in a simulation, I'll try to make it up to you."

This simulation has ended.

Start settlement

Since this simulation is a reconnection mode, there is no final score evaluation, settlement lottery, or new entry unlocking.

This settlement was completely different from all the previous ones; it was a PowerPoint-like animated sequence.

After his consciousness left, the simulator's suppression was gone, and the unfortunate Herrscher consciousness rose up, only to be suppressed by Mebius again.

She slowly crawled out of the crack in the ground, cursing as she did so.

After sitting in the snow for a while, reviewing Biora's memories, he disguised himself and infiltrated Otto's side.

They rescued the captured raven and then returned to the world to take over the reins of the serpent.

In the World Serpent, Mebius took the throne that had always been reserved for Kevin, with Raven, Tibetan Fox, and several other faces that Chen Jie didn't recognize, presumably newly recruited officers.

Finally, the scene flashes back to the group photo that Alicia took of the three of them.

——TeEnd—— The End of the Journey

……

PS: I saw some readers commenting that the plot was progressing too slowly, but it's not slow at all. We've been rushing to catch up on the plot. The heroes are just going through the motions. The rest are all foreshadowing elements that can't be omitted, and parts that would change the character development and personality if omitted.

Readers feel the pace is slow, probably not because the plot is slow, but because I update slowly (I'm aware of that)...

Chapter 101 Love Gate!

The journey of the Second Herrscher begins and ends in the snowfield.

Foreign intrusion detected!

In the process of assessment... it seems I can't resist... I'm lying down.

Reward ★☆……Settlement

—Congratulations! You have completed the achievement "First Encounter with the Adorable Heroes"!

Obtaining special rewards is a must.

Suddenly, a piece of amethyst shimmering with brilliant light appeared in Chen Jie's hand. With a gentle squeeze, the fragments floated and spun, forming a large bow, as if composed of starlight.

"Although... such unique equipment makes it immediately clear who sent the reward."

The inevitable failure

Quality: Sublimation

Usage requirements: The mark possessed.

Crystal Blessing: Consumes one arrow to perform a guaranteed hit attack on the selected target, judged as extraordinary.

Note: Dear titmouse, please carry my arrows, my flowers, and my love to that solitary traveler.

Brilliant Starlight: Consumes two arrows to perform a guaranteed hit attack on the selected target, with a critical hit rating of Extraordinary+.

Note: May the ocean be vast, may the earth be bountiful, may the stars shine brightly.

Causal Spiral, Spinning Infinitely: Consumes three arrows to perform a guaranteed hit attack on the selected target, judged as an Ascension.

Note: Time stands still, glory lasts forever, like waking from a dream, a flawless life!

Arrows of Flowers and Birds: Starts with three arrows. Consumed arrows will regenerate over time, up to a maximum of three.

The recovery time varies depending on the number of arrows remaining. With 0 arrows remaining, the recovery time is 1000 days; with 1 arrow remaining, it's 100 days; and with 2 arrows remaining, it's 10 days.

This time is the absolute time experienced by the main consciousness, excluding the period of text simulation.

Note: So, how was it? Do you like my gift? It will make most of the monsters you encounter on your future journeys incredibly easy!

The Sound Stone: Besides being a weapon for self-defense, it also has a message function. Just between you and me, it contains over ten thousand of my blessings. Whenever you draw your bow and shoot, you'll hear my sweet and lovely voice.

Note: Even across vast distances of time and space, Alicia will still respond to your expectations.

"!!!"

A weapon that elevates quality!

Although it's unclear how Alicia managed to do it, it was indeed a generous gift that Chen Jie couldn't refuse.

It's like someone who was fighting a tough battle with a rifle one moment, and suddenly gets a nuclear bomb button.

No, this is no longer a nuclear bomb.

A full-force attack from a transcendent level would be enough to destroy a city and a large area around it once the power is fully charged. If it were a transcendent+ level, it would be like the Herrscher of the End, destroying an entire continent in one strike.

sublimation?

This isn't a nuclear bomb, it's a planet-destroying cannon!

"Hehehe, the atmosphere suddenly became unbeatable."

Which man wouldn't like this kind of planet-destroying cannon?

Chen Jie lovingly stroked the crystal bow inch by inch. The suspended fragments gathered around the core in his hand, without any support. His fingers could pass through the middle to touch the internal structure, yet it was as unshakeable as a whole.

Even if it were used as a stick to smash people, its sublimated quality would make it indestructible.

The smooth crystal felt more wonderful to him than the touch of a young girl's skin; the crisp sound it made when lightly tapped was like celestial music.

"If before I got this bow I was playing a torturous Dark Souls game, after I got it I'm playing a hack-and-slash Dynasty Warriors game! Emulator, emulator, look at you, at this stage you're not as helpful to me as this Bingo."

I have nothing to say, I just want to advise you: don't be fooled by bad women outside. I am your strongest support.

"Love!"

For half a day, Chen Jie stayed at home, appreciating Bingzhi's mistakes from different angles, occasionally letting out strange "hehehe" laughs, his mind wandering as if Alicia's message was echoing in his ears.

He even temporarily neglected his favorite activity, fishing.

Men are boys until they die; when they get a new, big toy, they naturally want to try it out.

How about we send an arrow to Japan, where the little Japanese are living quite well... no, in this world called Yamata no Koku?

With a weapon in hand, the desire to kill arises naturally.

However, after thinking about it, I decided against it. Arrows are only the most powerful threat before they leave the hand. This is clearly a trump card, a grand finale to achieve a decisive victory, rather than something he can use at any time.

I tried shooting an arrow, and although it was satisfying, I couldn't use the Ascended level attack for ten days.

What if the sun explodes within these ten days, an alien mothership the size of a planet arrives, or some other unsolvable problems arise?

He chose to believe Alicia and the simulator's description.

Having stolen half a day of leisure, the remaining half day naturally cannot be wasted. Following the previously planned trajectory, the construction and development of the protective umbrella must continue.

As night fell, the streets of the Federation fell silent.

Some sheepdogs always think that the nightlife in that developed country across the sea is so vibrant, but little do they know that with its vast land, sparse population, rampant gun violence, gang dealings, and violent crime, people in other areas dare not wander the streets at night, except for a few wealthy neighborhoods where police patrol at all times.

Here's an American joke: according to shooting statistics, New York City is actually safer than Gotham City.

Chen Jie was too tired lately and had no interest in playing any dark hero games. As the clock struck midnight, the gray button lit up again.

Real-world simulation!

With light in his eyes and fire in his heart, he is now bursting with confidence.

This time he has made full preparations to face and defeat the Honkai!

After all, this Honkai Impact 3rd only reached LV1. Judging from the emulator's track record, there might be LV2-LV9 later. With two Reversal Keys, Herrscher shells, Humanity Gift, Loss of Response, and so much equipment.

If you're not even confident you can beat level 1, then don't bother playing anymore. Just surrender early and go enjoy yourself in the simulation world.

They retrieved the incubation chamber from the dimensional rift and dressed the clone in clothes.

He took out the crystal flower that he had collected three engraved badges to exchange for, and placed it on her head...

A flash of purple light appeared, and the clone slowly opened its eyes.

"Fairy Number One is ready!" She saluted Chen Jie. "Hello, Traveler Chen Jie. Fairy Airi reporting for duty."

"..."

I originally thought that Alicia gave me a simple piece of equipment, but I didn't expect that this equipment also came with intelligent assistance.

"Can you create the human barrier I need?"

"Of course, that's the purpose for which I was created."

Then there's no problem.

……

Chapter 102—TeEnd—A Tiny Victory (End of Volume)

As is customary, the Elk-1 virus will be released to grant all of humanity resistance to Honkai energy.

We will develop a protective umbrella based on the experience of previous simulations, but not by copying it entirely. We will make minor adjustments to certain aspects, accumulate experience, and explore more possible directions.

It sounds complicated, but once you get the hang of it, especially after gaining experience, it's actually quite simple.

He is no longer the poor, clueless newbie who plunged headlong into the capital market with a large sum of money and almost got wiped out.

Hire a few professional managers.

Others hire professional managers by spending a lot of money to poach capable people, promising them profit sharing, or even giving them permanent equity after a certain number of years of service, allowing them to fully utilize their talents. But Chen Jie did the opposite.

He would look for people who were average in ability but obedient, and pay them a fixed salary. The former didn't have any of their own ideas, while the latter were paid a fixed salary so that they could carry out his wildly imaginative plans with peace of mind.

Without the ability to foresee the future, these plans are like a classic case of an amateur directing a professional; managers with profit-sharing agreements will never approve, and only those slackers with fixed salaries will feel comfortable carrying them out.

In any case, whether the company makes a profit or loss, it won't affect his income.

Once the tasks are assigned, they don't need to think about anything; they just need to follow the rules.

Drinking red wine every day and looking at reports, an energy drink empire was rapidly built amidst the incredulous admiration of those managers.

Those who use their minds govern others; those who use their strength are governed by others.

The reason why rich people live an easy life is that they are good at delegating their tasks.

Like an ordinary person experiencing a midlife crisis, he has to take care of his aging and frequently ill parents and elders, as well as his children who are still in school and require his attention. He struggles to make a living every day, and even as he goes bald, he doesn't become stronger.

The wealthy can hire nannies, drivers, and secretaries, and with a mere snap of their fingers, they can decide the fate of many people each day.

Off topic.

In short, while developing rapidly without the help of a protective umbrella, Chen Jie saved a lot of time.

He certainly didn't waste that time.

He's learning programming techniques from previous generations!

After the Reversal Key advanced to SP-2, it absorbed that alien technology and acquired a black technology called Hyperdimensional Hacking.

He never forgot this, so in the battlefield of the past, he asked Mebius for two sets of codes and information related to Soul Steel.

If one could learn the programming code of the previous generation and manipulate Soul Steel at will, that would be a great help.

The more Chen Jie learned, the more he felt that there are limits to what it means to be human.
