Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

Their methods were as if they had foreseen the future.

In China, some novelists have already started writing urban rebirth novels based on Chen Jie.

The protagonist is reborn and has foreseen the revival of martial arts. He starts planning ahead and makes his fortune by selling energy drinks. At the same time, he is investigating the mysterious disappearance of his parents, which leads to an even more mysterious world.

Chen Jie took a look himself, and his assessment was that it was just right.

Another aspect of its success is its amazing effect, which has been widely praised by all consumers.

In reality, energy drinks with overly potent effects are not only expensive, but their owners are also likely to end up behind bars.

Because of its remarkable efficacy, it must have either contained added medication or excessive levels of additives such as taurine...

But the ingredient list for this beverage from Umbrella is too clean!

Competitors, curious about its powerful effects, had it tested and discovered that the beverage was simply a mixture of sugar water—pure science and ruthless innovation.

It's unethical, but the ingredients used are all legal, and even cleaner than many beverages from major manufacturers.

There have also been instances of industrial spies infiltrating those contract-manufacturing beverage factories in an attempt to steal secrets.

This is also a drawback of expanding too quickly. Beverage factories around the world are basically acquired, and the machines they use are even different. This has led to differences in taste between products produced in two different provinces around the world...

However, it still has that magical effect.

It was as if it had been enchanted.

With his rapid rise to prominence and the mysterious formula, Chen Jie naturally attracted the attention of some people.

They started using underhanded tactics.

But Chen Jie is least afraid of underhanded tactics, because he uses them too, and he's even better at them than those people.

Wearing SP-2, I can stroll around your headquarters and factory. With my super-dimensional hacking abilities, I can infiltrate even physically isolated, offline electronic devices. I can even find out how many times the CEO calls his secretary into his office each day.

They took a bunch of dirt on him and exposed it online.

By placing a few Honkai Energy Crystals in the home of a competitor, killing them silently while simultaneously contributing to the global revival of spiritual energy.

Even if the horrific state of these people's corruption is discovered, the autopsy staff will only assume that they went astray during their own practice and became possessed by evil spirits—because the outward appearances are exactly the same.

At worst, every ten days, you can play a quick fix; with just a single hair, a video of someone's appearance, or even just a name, you can make them disappear from this world.

If an attack on a city hits an ordinary person, they won't even be reduced to ashes.

Last but not least, Umbrella successfully rode the wave of martial arts revival. If they weren't successful, who could have?

Chen Jie felt that it could be replicated in reality.

The Soul Steel Box he stored in the dimensional rift contained samples of Honkai energy, and he could even orchestrate a Honkai revival before the Honkai eruption in Griville Town.

"Before that, let's optimize the Elk One virus first, and integrate the first, second and third viruses together. This will allow for a higher concentration of Honkai energy in the world, and thus a higher upper limit for combat power."

But that's a story for another time.

Chen Jie planned to do the optimization work under the identity of Elke. There was no other reason than that scientific research really depends on talent. Having used supercomputers, who could tolerate the slow progress of the small, broken computers in the computer lab?

Entering Elke's identity will have to wait a little longer.

Once he completes the conversion of the three viruses, he can buy level 1 resistance in the simulator, break through to LV7, and then go.

Because the genetic samples of the Honkai world only support resistance up to LV6, further improvement can only be achieved through the Stigmata gene, but the Stigmata gene takes up too much space, and Chen Jie does not plan to engrave too much into his DNA.

The cost-effectiveness is somewhat low. In addition to increasing Honkai energy resistance, the Stigmata Gene also contains special abilities and a Stigmata Space that, once activated, can melt all humans into one.

In the future, there won't only be Honkai attacks; what if we encounter other disasters that require...?

It's easy to carve it in, but difficult to remove it.

Chen Jie wanted to try and see if, after upgrading to LV7 using the simulator, it could forge a different path from the Stigmata in Honkai Impact 3rd.

……

China, the outer sea, Jianmen Mountain.

An immortal ascended to heaven here, opening the gate to the heavens with a single sword, leaving behind this crystal mountain range, hence the name Jianmen Mountain (Sword Gate Mountain).

The official Chinese government launched an online referendum to prevent netizens from creating mischief. They provided more than a dozen options and selected the name based on the number of votes received.

The Chinese government has opened Jianmen Mountain to the public, much like a tourist attraction!

The key issue is that despite the long period of lockdown, no solution has been found. Even the most advanced cutting equipment cannot cut even a tiny fragment from Crystal Mountain.

After extensive research, experts could only come to this conclusion: the surface is suspected to be absolutely smooth, making it a material with strong interaction forces.

With research stalled and external forces exerting pressure, they decided to open up the field in exchange for other resources and benefits, and then conduct joint research with other countries.

The entire Jianmen Mountain area is about the same size as the adjacent Linhai City. Even after deducting the area where several research institutes were built, there is still a large area remaining.

Just like a tourist attraction, once the gate is blocked, they start collecting money.

Is it really impossible to build on an absolutely smooth surface? How could that possibly be a problem for a major infrastructure nation? Just give the sacred mountain a reinforced concrete shell.

Although we can't lay foundations and build houses that are too tall, it's still possible to open restaurants, souvenir shops, and guesthouses.

In less than six months, the entire mountain was developed for tourism, and tourists from all over the country and even the world flocked to it.

Beneath the martial arts stele, one can cultivate an enlightenment platform; rent drones to overlook the entire sacred mountain; and cruise ships can circle around Jianmen Mountain…

What's even more amazing is that even those naturally formed, rugged, crystalline rocks have been given all sorts of fancy names by the city's tourism bureau, which built the area.

They even made up legends...

They also found a perfect spot to build a crystal slide and various other facilities. Even the creator, Chen Jie, never imagined that a crystal mountain could offer so many intricate experiences.

He paid for the trip himself and couldn't help but marvel at human creativity.

Chapter 107 A Method for a Permanent Solution

Time to get down to business!

Chen Jie walked into a temporary competition venue that had been set up.

This fighting competition was sponsored by Umbrella Corporation. In order to pass the application, he even opened two factories in Linhai City, making a small contribution to the local economy.

The arena was bustling with noise, and people were taking to the stage from time to time on various large and small platforms, while medical staff moved around below.

Injuries are inevitable in competitions, but fortunately, following Red Bull's history of success, Umbrella's sponsorship has practically monopolized the entire extreme sports world, so no one knows better than them how to deal with this situation.

However, no one has been killed yet, since that's illegal. At this point, the highest D-level combat power is not enough to make people disregard the laws of modern society. Even this kind of fighting competition has to be labeled as a sport.

Since the advent of martial arts, the world has never been so peaceful.

A knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law.

A teenager beat thirteen thugs to death after witnessing his mother nearly being violated; a middle-aged man, upon discovering that his three children were not his own, killed the adulterous couple, and then, gazing at the children he had raised for so many years, finally smashed his own head with a single blow; a worker, after longing for unpaid wages, finally lost his temper and killed his boss…

It's nothing more than reaching the breaking point and seeking revenge.

But for the country, this is a violation of the rule of law. Martial artists, as a newly emerging class with superhuman strength, are like those who carry firearms and controlled knives.

How should it be managed?

China reacted relatively quickly, issuing temporary regulations for the management of martial arts practitioners, requiring all those who have achieved success in martial arts training to register with the local authorities.

It's okay not to report it, but if one day you use martial arts to injure or kill someone, then you'll be charged with an additional crime equivalent to illegally possessing a controlled knife.

As for formal legislation, it's estimated that the higher-ups will have to wrestle around for a few more years.

If things are like this in China, then the situation abroad is even more chaotic.

It was a scene where everyone carried a gun in the streets, a clash between traditional Chinese martial arts and North American martial arts...

Chen Jie didn't even know what specific events were taking place; he was only responsible for making arrangements.

What he wanted to do was to attract the attention of a large number of martial arts practitioners in such a popular tourist area.

Walk towards the very center, to the arena covered with a red cloth.

Whoosh—!

The arena was actually made of transparent bulletproof glass, which was filled with colorful knives and dazzling gold nuggets.

At the center of the entire fighting tournament, Chen Jie raised a large flag.

First line: Ten million Federal Dollars, I only ask for one defeat; if you win, it's all yours.

The second line reads: You set the rules; in one-on-one duels or group fights, I'm invincible, you can do whatever you want.

Horizontal scroll: Come and hit me!

He glanced around disdainfully and beckoned with his finger in a provocative manner.

He had such a great presence that even the security guards hired to maintain order in the audience wanted to rush up and beat up their boss.

However, the person in charge still fulfilled their duty and explained the rules to those around them.

If lone wolves enter, a maximum of ten people can enter at a time. New people can only enter after someone is thrown off the stage or leaves on their own. Don't misunderstand, this is not cowardice. There is only so much space around a person. If too many rabble rush in, it will only reduce their combat power.

On the other hand, there is also a team registration channel with no limit on the number of people. You can fill the arena with hundreds of people if you want.

All participants can choose their weapon; the organizers have prepared a variety of common weapons.

Although they were not sharpened, they all gleamed with a bright metallic luster.

Soon, the first batch of ten people went on stage.

Even after the agreement was signed, they still felt a sense of unreality. They tentatively attacked Chen Jie, afraid that if they beat him too hard and killed their benefactor, he would deny everything.

As a result, Chen Jie swept his spear across the stage, knocking them all off.

"That's it?"

He must have something to rely on to dare to open this arena.

That's right, his body was covered with a thin layer of soul steel membrane, like a mecha exoskeleton, which allowed him, who was not even a D-rank, to have combat power close to B-rank (to be honest, because it was extremely thin and disguised as skin, so his output was not too high).

A hundred kinds of martial arts, this is a mecha!

Having made up for her deficiencies in strength, and possessing memories and skills unique to Biora, dealing with these Earthlings who have only been practicing martial arts for half a year is simply a matter of overwhelming them.

Ten people came up, and ten were defeated; ten people came up, and ten were defeated. Challengers came and went in waves, and none of them could last more than one move. They were always in groups of ten, and there wasn't even a single person being replaced.

This was with him holding back, merely using a skillful touch to gently push them off the stage. If he had let go completely, he could have sent the challengers flying like they were being hit by a truck, their internal organs ruptured...

Some people chose ranged weapons like bows and arrows, but Chen Jie completely ignored the arrows and darts. All the attacks that hit him produced a crisp sound like metal clashing.

How can a person's skin be so tough?

This might mean it can already ignore some small-caliber bullets!

The scene here quickly attracted the attention of experts. After reviewing the rules, a genius sneaked into the team registration area.

Although it was a temporary team, they still communicated and discussed among themselves, and managed to gather fifty people to go on stage!

They were playing a game of cat and mouse, like ships linked by iron chains.

They thought that with their numerical advantage and their combined strength, they could stop Chen Jie's sweeping attack and avoid being swept away like trash the moment they met. However, Chen Jie, realizing their intentions, increased the output of his Soul Steel Exoskeleton by a billion points.

It was as if they were swept up and blown away by a hurricane.

But one person managed to keep his balance amidst the gust of wind.

Chen Jie's eyes lit up; he had finally found a target.

The purpose of this visit is certainly not to cheat and dominate weaker opponents.

"Oh?" He showed a slightly surprised expression.

"Finally, I've met someone I can find somewhat acceptable."

With one hand, he pinned the genius down, rendering him immobile, and then gave instructions to the surrounding staff.

"The next group, please wait a moment. I have a few words to say to this young man."

"My name is Chen Jie, the founder of Umbrella Corporation."

Shock!

This is no less than an athlete winning a championship and then saying that he was just playing around and that he has billions of dollars waiting to be inherited.

Others cross over from other fields and surpass you in the very field you excel at.

"Actually, my talent isn't much better than yours. It's just that by chance, I discovered a special mineral deposit."

He took out a pendant from his pocket; it looked somewhat like jade, but it was shaped like amethyst.
