nChapter 3

n“Forget it, I’ll continue the simulation first.”

nHan Zhao didn’t pursue the matter any further, because he would know once he gave it a try.

n“System, synthesize the Trait ‘Life Simulation’.”

nSynthesized once. Consumed 15 Notification Fragments and 2 taels of gold. You will definitely obtain a one-time Basic Trait, Life Simulation. The probability of obtaining a White Trait will increase by 1%.

n“What’s going on? Why did the price increase? And this is…”

nHan Zhao noticed that there were a few more lines of words behind the system panel.

nIf you want to become stronger, you have to spend money!

nThe price of synthesis will increase as one’s realm increases. The more money you spend, the higher the probability of obtaining a high-level Trait.

nThere’s a chance for a high-level Trait to appear after ten consecutive syntheses.

n“Good lord, how much spending must I do?!”

nLooking at the notification in front of him, Han Zhao could not hold it in anymore.

n“Yes.”

nObtained one-time Basic Trait ‘Life Simulation’. Do you want to start the simulation?

nAccording to the previous simulation, he did not have a system in the simulation and could not exploit any bugs.

nThe Overlord Fist Academy was ranked first among the many martial arts schools in Blackrock City.

nIf his aptitude was so poor, he would have to choose a martial art with a lower difficulty.

nThinking of this, Han Zhao began the simulation.

n16 years old. Your father died. The Fuyuan Escort Agency suffered heavy losses and moved out of Blackrock City. Your Life Nurturing Technique reached the Small Mastery of the First Level.

nYou went to the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy and used the Thousand Silk Guide cultivation method as your tuition fee to become an apprentice at the martial arts school.

nFive months later, you reached the Skin Tempering Realm and were at the lower level among all the apprentices.

n23 years old. You relied on the Mountain Shaking Fist to break through to the Bone Tempering Realm and reached the Perfection of the First Level of the Life Nurturing Technique. You chose to join the Heavenly Moon Gang and the Edge Sharpening Manor. They paid you 15 taels of silver a year as their nominal member. You were obliged to make a move for them each year.

n24 years old. You felt that your cultivation speed was getting slower and slower. Your need for resources increased rapidly.

nIn order to earn more money, you helped the Heavenly Moon Gang snatch territory and earned a lot of money.

nIn one battle, you were blinded by a martial artist in the Bone Tempering Realm who threw lime powder and ambushed you. You were also shot by a poisoned sleeve arrow and finally stabbed to death.

nGood lord, lime powder, hidden arrows, poison, sneak attacks.

nThey didn’t care about morals.

nThis is the role model of our generation!

nHan Zhao looked at the information in the simulation and felt that he was a little eager for quick success this time.

nHowever, in the previous simulation, he had barely broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm at the age of 25. His potential had been exhausted, and he had barely mastered the first level of the Life Nurturing Technique.

nThis time, he had broken through to the Bone Tempering Realm at the age of 23, which was two years ahead of schedule.

nClearly, other than the Mountain Shaking Fist being slightly easier, the true qi of the Life Nurturing Technique had also played a considerable role.

nFrom the looks of it, if he had attribute points, he could prioritize adding points to the Life Nurturing Technique and increase the cultivation speed of the external cultivation method faster.

nThe simulation is over. You can choose one of the following.

n1: Obtain Trait (Selectable)

n2: Obtained attribute points

n3: Obtain any part of the life experience.

nCurrent Balance: 1 tael of gold

n“Huh? I can choose a Trait now?”

nAt this moment, Han Zhao realized that Option 1, which he could not choose previously, was no longer in a gray state. It was displayed as selectable.

nHow should he choose?

nIn the long run, improving his aptitude and foundation could increase his cultivation speed.

nIn his previous life, when he bought the cheat, the Traits he got were all very abnormal. Even the White Traits had many good ones. He didn’t believe that he would be unlucky.

n‘I’ll take my chances!’

nHan Zhao decided to choose a Trait.

n“Phew!” He took a deep breath, put his palms together, and looked at the sky devoutly. He muttered to himself, “My cheap father, bless me! I’ll immediately set up a memorial tablet for you and burn paper money for you. I’ll borrow your lifespan of 100 years in your next life in exchange for a good Trait. Thank you! If there’s a chance, I’ll return ten times your lifespan!”

nAfter praying, Han Zhao looked at the system interface and muttered, “I choose one.”

nObtained Trait: ‘Sword and Saber Duo’

nSword and Saber Duo: White Trait, Saber Dao and Sword Dao aptitude increased by three times (Can be upgraded to Green Trait through cultivation, the upper limit is Blue Trait)

n“It really works?!”

nHan Zhao was taken aback. He quickly looked up into the sky and cupped his fists. “You really are my father. I’ll have to rely on you next time.”

nRather than relying on luck, it’s better to spend money to unlock more Traits.

n“You want money, don’t you?” The notification in the corner of the interface made Han Zhao feel powerless to complain.

nHowever, he immediately began to worry again. Was it better to learn sword techniques or saber techniques?

nThe saber was domineering.

nThe sword was mighty.

n“In chaotic times, one should rely on dominance.”

nAfter thinking for a moment, Han Zhao followed his inner thoughts and made a decision.

n“Learn the saber!”

n“Then I’ll make money with a saber.”

nHan Zhao went out to inquire about the situation.

nThere was no need to go to various martial arts schools for this kind of thing. He just needed to find a storyteller in a teahouse. The interesting stories in the various martial arts schools in Blackrock City were ready-made materials for the storyteller.

nHan Zhao headed north and arrived at the riverside district.

nThere were more than ten districts in Blackrock City, and each of them was equivalent to a small village. They had basic living facilities.

nThe district was adjacent to the inner city. There was a small restaurant inside, and there were storytellers in the hall on the first floor.

nAfter paying ten copper coins for a pot of tea, he could listen to it for a day.

nBy the time Han Zhao arrived at the teahouse, it was still early, so there were very few customers in the hall on the first floor.

nA white-haired old man was drinking tea behind a wooden table against the wall. He was wearing a green scholar’s robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. In front of him was a stack of paper filled with small words. He was the storyteller.

nHan Zhao walked towards him.

nThe white-haired old man saw a tall and handsome young man walking towards him. He put down the teapot, stood up, and cupped his hands. “Young Master, if you want to listen, please sit for a moment. It’s not time yet.”

nHan Zhao smiled and cupped his fists at the old man. “Greetings, old mister. I am Han Zhao, and I am indeed here to hear some stories. However, I also wish to inquire about some things from you.”

n“My surname is Zheng. Others call me Elder Zheng,” the white-haired old man said. Noticing that Han Zhaoxing was doing the martial arts greeting, he asked again, “Young Master, do you want to learn martial arts? Is that why you’re asking about the martial arts school?”

nHan Zhao smiled and said, “That’s right, Elder Zheng. I want to learn saber techniques. I wonder which martial arts school will teach me saber techniques.”

n“Young Master, you’ve asked the right person. Blackrock City is neither big nor small. If you ask every martial arts school, you’ll probably have to ask until tomorrow.” Upon hearing Han Zhao’s address, Elder Zheng revealed a smile, but his gaze still glanced at the wooden tray beside him.

nSeeing this, Han Zhao took out ten copper coins and placed them on the tray.

n“Waiter, serve the tea!”

nElder Zheng shouted at the waiter beside him.

n“Guest, please take a seat. The tea will be here soon!” The waiter quickly came to the square table closest to Elder Zheng. He wiped the already clean seat and table with a cloth draped over his shoulder and gestured for Han Zhao to sit first.

n“Yes.” Han Zhao nodded and dragged the bench to Elder Zheng’s wooden table. “Elder Zheng, please speak.”

nElder Zheng twirled his beard, opened his fan, and fanned himself twice.

nThe cold wind blew against his face. He shivered and put away his fan. Then, he said unhurriedly, “If Young Master wants to learn weaponry, you should first approach the Overlord Fist Academy. Although this martial arts school teaches fist techniques, as long as you pay enough money, you can learn the famous spear technique of Overlord Spear, Zhao Mo. This Zhao Mo is…”

n“Elder Zheng! Elder Zheng! Please talk about the martial arts school that teaches saber techniques first, then talk about the other martial arts schools.” Han Zhao hurriedly interrupted Elder Zheng. If he continued, he would probably not have time to talk about serious matters when there were more people.

n“Alright.” Elder Zheng saw Han Zhao’s serious expression and returned to the main topic.

n“Speaking of saber techniques, it’s naturally the Flying Cloud Academy. This Flying Cloud Saber, Wei Kang, is one of the top five Force Tempering Martial Masters in the city. He’s very strong. However…”

nElder Zheng suddenly lowered his voice.

n“The Flying Cloud Saber is famous for being difficult to practice. Moreover, Wei Kang loves money, so the fee is very expensive. The tuition fee is four taels of silver a month. You have to pay for a year. If you don’t learn it halfway, the tuition fee won’t be refunded.”

nElder Zheng saw that Han Zhao had an extraordinary bearing and was not an ordinary person. However, his clothes were not luxurious. Clearly, he was not from a big family in the inner city, so he might not be able to afford the Flying Cloud Saber, so he reminded him kindly.

n“I can’t afford to practice this Flying Cloud Saber,” Han Zhao said frankly.

nThe tuition fee alone was so expensive that he could not afford it.

nBuying a decent saber cost at least seven to eight taels of silver, which was equivalent to the price of a horse. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a saying that weapons were passed down from generation to generation.

nThe reason why the martial arts school was so profitable was that these Martial Masters had cultivation techniques that could allow them to grasp Internal Force and were willing to nurture talents for the various large factions in the city.

nEven if a large family clan had a cultivation method of the same level, they would not give it to all their disciples to cultivate.

nFurthermore, everyone’s foundation and comprehension were different, and the martial arts they were suitable to learn were also different.

nThe Thousand Silk Guide could only be cultivated to the Blood Tempering Realm, and it was not something that those factions with Martial Masters would take seriously. It probably could not be sold for much money.

nIf he offered the Thousand Silk Guide to a greedy person, it was very likely that the price would be greatly reduced.

nElder Zheng continued, “The rest is the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy. The Martial Master of this martial arts school is Lu Yi, the Mountain Splitting Saber. He was also one of the top experts in Blackrock City more than 20 years ago.”

nUnfortunately, Lu Yi was old now. In addition, among the apprentices he had taught over the years, those who could break through to the Blood Tempering Realm were all practicing the Mountain Shaking Fist.

nThe strongest person who learned the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was only in the Bone Tempering Realm. Therefore, the reputation of the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was not as good as before, and not many people learned it.

n“However, Lu Yi’s reputation is very good. The tuition fee for the Mountain Shaking Fist is one tael a month, and the Mountain Splitting Saber is three taels a month. It’s paid every three months. If you don’t learn it halfway, the tuition fees will be refunded according to the remaining time.”

n“That’s it!” Han Zhao’s eyes lit up.

nIt was very important to have a good reputation. Just the fact that he did not refund the tuition fees halfway through showed that Lu Yi was a particular person.

nMoreover, in the second simulation, he also learned the Mountain Shaking Fist. It seemed that it was fate.

nAfter getting the answer he wanted, Han Zhao was not in a hurry to leave. He could not waste ten copper coins.

nDue to his poor aptitude and the fact that he studied behind closed doors all day, his personality was relatively introverted. He only learned a portion of the information about the factions in the city from Han Lin.

nNow that he heard Elder Zheng talk about the strange things in Blackrock City, he could deepen his understanding of the various martial arts schools and families in the city.

nAlthough many things sounded exaggerated, they gave him a lot of useful information.

nJust like that, Han Zhao stayed until the hall was filled with guests and noises.
