Disaster Simulator, global collapse begins.

"Try it in your hand."

The boy took it and was surprised to find that, under the influence of the amethyst pendant, the speed of his internal energy circulation had increased by three points.

"It's for you."

"Such a valuable item..."

"Valuable my foot! I'm here to sell this!"

Chen Jie played for several more hours without showing any signs of fatigue (obviously, he was using a mech to play for him) and sent out twenty or thirty Honkai Energy accessories.

Then, he took the opportunity to announce that the reason for his strength was this kind of spirit stone.

He had reached a bottleneck in his martial arts and wanted to learn more martial arts techniques from Luo.

From now on, whoever develops a new cultivation method, martial arts style, or even just a line of thought, can contact the Protector and exchange it for these spirit stones that can accelerate cultivation.

Of course, you can have money or anything else if you want.

"I look forward to witnessing the arrival of a golden age of martial arts together with all of you!"

All right.

This is a method that solves the problem once and for all. For the next two and a half years, even if you are lying at home, people will keep sending you cultivation techniques.

……

PS: This chapter was a bit of a struggle to write, and I wasn't in the best state of mind. I was mainly organizing the upcoming plot, since we're about to enter the Originium Cataclysm arc, which involves some major shifts, and I need to sort out the outline and everything.

Chapter 108: The Chairman, whose training period lasted two and a half years, has concluded this simulation.

Chen Jie has too many good things in his possession.

Although he is not afraid of being coveted by other countries, as a law-abiding citizen, he still hopes that the simulation can develop harmoniously in the future.

So he immediately ran to the restricted area of ​​Jianmen Mountain that was not open to tourists, where research institutes from various countries were located.

After explaining his purpose, and after they sent people to test the effects of the Honkai energy crystals, Chen Jie was welcomed inside.

Donate spirit stones to major countries!

He even fabricated a story about his origins, claiming that he had always enjoyed collecting rare stones, and after achieving success in his cultivation, he suddenly discovered that a huge crystal cave resonated with him.

From size and specifications to purchase records, cutting and processing, and the leftover scraps...

Even if various countries go to inspect those companies, what Chen Jie said is true; he had already erased all the loopholes long ago by using his super-dimensional hacking.

After receiving the data and samples donated by Chen Jie, the various countries tallied up the figures and realized that he himself didn't have much left, so they devoted themselves to the research.

In this way, no national-level troubles will come knocking, and as for private matters? They won't even be considered trouble.

……

The following year.

Those who were watching the protective umbrella suddenly realized that Chen Jie seemed to have lost his invincible aura.

Indeed, this is the case. The current Umbrella Corporation has reached a level that previous simulations had never achieved. It has no past experience to draw upon, and every step it takes is pioneering.

Starting a business is easy, but maintaining it is difficult.

A large ship is difficult to turn around, and the same is true for a company. With a large number of employees, even layers of management and rules and regulations cannot withstand the fickleness of human nature.

"What a hassle!"

His mind started racing. Managing the company was too troublesome; it would be great if there were some kind of artificial intelligence assistant.

Chen Jie looked at the fairy Ellie who was cooking.

"Are you good at managing a company?"

She thought for a moment: "Hmm? Although I haven't loaded this function, just like cooking, I can learn it, human."

"The food...you should know how awful it is, right?" Chen Jie grinned.

Ellie, the fairy, once ate something she made herself, but she still vomited because of her Herrscher constitution. It turned out that she had just run out of salt at home, so she searched around and added laundry detergent, which was also a white powder.

Similarly, some people use mustard oil, intended for seasoning, as a regular cooking oil, adding whatever looks similar to it.

"I cut off my sense of taste before I eat!"

The fairy Ellie raised her head, looking proud of herself for not wasting anything.

Because her true form is that crystal flower, and the Herrscher core is also condensed on it, she wears it on her head to control the clone body. She has some special functions, such as cutting off the sense of taste and pain.

Chen Jie sighed, "So you knew you couldn't finish what you made..."

It's not just bad, it's deadly. You never know what dangerous things she might have added from her home or lab.

"But there has been progress over the years, hasn't there?"

"..."

"No...nothing?"

"Girl, listen to my advice, the cooking industry is too complicated. You're still young, you can't handle it."

Since the Paradise of the Past has become the Battlefield of the Past, the fairy Ellie of this world has no experience in things like managing the Paradise Library, so she can't be relied on. Her job is just to be beautiful.

There's no need to rush with artificial intelligence. Despite what Chen Jie has experienced, most of it has actually happened in a simulated world; in reality, less than ten days have passed.

I'll try to acquire it in the simulated world later.

For the rest of the simulation, I'll collect martial arts techniques and practice skills for managing a large company.

Humanity, with its boundless creativity, has not disappointed Chen Jie's high expectations, especially in China.

As our ancestors said, "Practicing martial arts without internal strength training is a waste of time in old age."

Just like how fast a car can go, the elegance of its exterior is only a small part; ultimately, it depends on the function of its internal engine.

Traditional Chinese martial arts have become mere window dressing, partly because the focus has shifted from performance to actual combat, and partly because they lack an internal driving force.

Now, with the emergence of Honkai energy martial arts, the last shortcoming of the engine has been filled, and Shenzhou Traditional Martial Arts has been revitalized!

After two and a half years of training, Chen Jie has gained some experience in how to lead a large company.

It will definitely be useful next time!

Before leaving, he had no taboos and challenged all martial arts schools in the world, stealing their martial arts manuals from those that were unwilling to trade with him.

He suddenly thought of a possibility.

"The simulator allowed me to extract the fairy Ellie and her clone. If I return to reality, will there be an extra one of her?"

Will not

Some things have unique characteristics, like your equipment.

Just like the absolute time mentioned above regarding Bing's Loss, you can bring things back from the simulated world; similarly, the consumed items will disappear the moment you return.

"I understand. It's like playing a dungeon; there are gains and losses." Chen Jie nodded.

Luckily I asked, otherwise if he had acted impulsively and left the fairy Ellie in this world, things would have been really messed up.

Unfortunately, the uniqueness and absolute time prevent many methods of using time-space cards from being exploited.

"Please line up in an orderly fashion to board the bus!"

The fairy Ellie directed dozens of people to enter a bus.

Among them are martial arts geniuses, business prodigies, and scientific research luminaries...

They were all alone, had signed an agreement with Chen Jie, and were absolutely trustworthy individuals with the Soul Steel Mechanism implanted in their minds.

Chen Jie wants to bring them back to the present world to help him build a protective umbrella.

A large organization cannot be run by one person alone; it requires many talented individuals to build together. This was an idea he had long ago: to bring back a group of extraordinary people from the simulated world who were not recorded in the official records.

Chen Jie thought to himself, "This is quite interesting. These people are not unique. If we let them out, they can meet another version of themselves in this world."

So, if a person with exceptional talent recruits and brings back each simulation, the first simulation will result in two. If they bring both back and release them, there will be four in the real world. If they then start another simulation and bring back four more...

It grows in powers of 2: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64...

In just a few dozen times, the number of this genius clones will exceed the total number of all humankind on Earth.

There has to be some kind of limitation, right?

Chen Jie guessed that, for example, the size of his dimensional rift is currently about 10m*10m*10m. You can imagine a 100-square-meter house, plus a height of 10 meters, and the number of people it can carry is ultimately limited.

It won't be easy to grow any further. In two and a half years, the progress of devouring the Second Herrscher's core has only increased by less than 2%.

It might take more than a century...

Hopefully, this core will bring him tremendous growth and surprises.

……

Chapter 109 Second Calamity: Source Stone Calamity LV1

Return to the present world and release the bus.

Aside from the rental portion, Chen Jie's building still has several floors reserved for his own use. To the outside world, he can honestly say that his house is quite large, and it's easy to accommodate fewer than a hundred people.

It wasn't until they connected to the internet and checked the time that they believed what Chen Jie had said before recruiting them.

"The reason I was able to rise so quickly is that I can travel between the future and the past!"

It turns out that what was written in the novel was all true.

This guy really is a time traveler.

However, they are now completely tied to Chen Jie's cause. They have liquid nano-soul steel in their minds, and if they remain loyal, this soul steel will continuously repair brain cells, improve memory, and even extend the lifespan of the brain.

But if they betray them, this super technology, which looks like it was brought back from the future, will become their death warrant.

However, before Chen Jie actually obtained artificial intelligence surveillance, these agencies were not that intelligent or trustworthy. But those people didn't know that; they only knew that nanobots had entered their brains, and their lives were in the hands of the other party.

He had to make a decisive move. The task he was undertaking was far too grand, the countless calamities facing the future were too terrifying, and everything he was talking about was simply too unbelievable.

There's really no time or energy to waste on scheming and backstabbing; it's better to be straightforward.

After settling his first group of people in place, Chen Jie activated the simulator.

Disaster: Honkai Impact LV1

80 days, 12 hours, 03 minutes, and 65 seconds remaining until arrival

A TE has been found. Should it be used to replicate the present world? (Yes/No)

Disaster: Originium Plague LV1

140 days, 12 hours, 03 minutes, and 65 seconds remaining until arrival

……

The next disaster has appeared: Originium Plague LV1.

Originium was also a disaster in his memory from a mobile game called "Arknights" in his previous life. Fortunately, with the help of Elke's mind, he foresaw that the disaster that might happen in the future was also in a fantasy work.

So I made preparations early on, compiling a list of all the disasters I remembered from movies, TV series, novels, anime, games, and more.

He also plays Arknights. Although he started playing late, he still managed to complete the entire collection thanks to the blue and green editing tools.

However, the awkward thing is...

He always skips through the plot at eight times the speed.

If he could recall a thread of the Honkai series by personally entering and comprehending the superhuman brain, then in the Ark world, aside from his numerous wives, he only knew some basic settings.

"Originium" is the foundation upon which the technological progress of the Ark world depends, and it is also the cornerstone for the smooth advancement of the entire society's industrial level into the modern era. Its status is comparable to that of "oil + coal" to modern society.

Originium contains extremely high energy and is easy to develop and utilize. People have also discovered that Originium can be used to release a series of techniques that change the original properties of substances. This technique is called Originium Arts, and is often referred to as "magic".

Having discussed so many advantages, let's now talk about the disadvantages.

It can cause a terminal illness called "Originium disease".

Infected individuals will develop Originium crystals in their bodies, and their somatic cells will gradually fuse with the Originium, accompanied by complications such as disrupted biological clock, decreased physical fitness, decreased vision and hearing, mutations, hallucinations, and mental disorders.

In the final stage of Oripathy, patients die from explosions or other causes. Untreated Oripathy corpses will have their Originium crystals turn to dust, leading to secondary infections.

Perhaps because the Ark world has no other energy source, even if it spreads incurable diseases, not many people can resist its temptation.

So far, it seems the threat of Originium isn't as great as the Honkai. As long as we avoid using or coming into contact with it, and control the infected to prevent an outbreak, it can be easily resolved. But…

Originium Disaster, and the two words that follow.
