Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Having no interest in reading the entire text word for word, Fang Rui switched to the simulated shopping mall. While browsing the products, he discovered some familiar items, referring to the treasures he had stolen from the cultivators' treasury.

"It seems that items I've held for a period of time can become goods in the mall."

Fang Rui said thoughtfully, "In that case, my confidence in obtaining the Seven Treasures Tree Bark has increased a little more."

As he spoke, Fang Rui's gaze swept over the other items in the mall. With each simulation, the variety and scope of the goods increased rapidly, and items with subtle uses were also appearing in greater numbers...

The simulation ended approximately one hour later.

This simulation has now ended. You may choose to keep one of the following options.

I. The Dual-Hand Technique and Its Application.

II. Twenty-five spells related to memory.

[III. One hundred Spirit Tree Saplings (2.0 version).]

[IV. The Ninth National Basic Qi Cultivation and Body Tempering Method.]

[V. Spiritual Technology Gift Pack.]

【six……】

Fang Rui sincerely complained: "I really hope that the next system update will add functions like pause and fast forward, otherwise it's a real waste of time sometimes."

While complaining, Fang Rui didn't forget to check the rewards; some rewards were quite good, and some were quite bad.

Without hesitation, he decisively chose option one.

The process of acquiring the "Dual Hands" was much easier than he had imagined. Perhaps it was his overwhelming strength that caused Qu Tong's mentality to collapse. After all, with the strength of her subordinates, there was no way to rescue him.

If she doesn't accept Fang Rui's suggestion, she may never have the chance to see the light of day again.

Before he gained his current strength, acquiring the Dual-Hand Technique would certainly not have been as easy as it was in this simulation.

Composing himself, Fang Rui immediately logged into the Fox Spirit World to continue making money, collecting spells, and contributing to world peace.

In a valley, Fang Rui's figure materialized from nothing, surrounded by the corpses of several large monsters, which, judging from their appearance, were the lesser demon kings who had previously chased him.

"The time of this login should not be too long after the time of the last logout."

"In that case, perhaps a short interval between two logins results in a smaller time change in the simulated scenario, while a long interval results in a larger time change in the simulated scenario."

Fang Rui guessed this, and instead of leaving immediately, he found the treasure bag he had stolen during his last login and took out some materials to refine a spatial artifact.

About two days later, the spatial artifact was successfully crafted. It was shaped like a ring. Fang Rui put the monsters' bodies and the remaining spiritual materials into the spatial artifact and set off for a nearby town.

The plan to collect spells and magical artifacts has been restarted...

"I have a feeling that after a while, my 'stealth' skill will be upgraded to the Grandmaster level, making me a legendary thief!"

"Of course... there will probably be people who admire me, but there will be even more people who hate me to the bone... and demons!"

"Hiss~ I suddenly have a bold idea. If humans and monsters have a common enemy, I wonder if they can turn hostility into friendship?"

Chapter 129 The Cultivators' Response

A month later, Fang Rui's reputation resounded throughout the human and demon realms, of course, in the form of being "hated by humans and despised by demons."

In just one month, Fang Rui has visited hundreds of human sects and nearly a hundred demon forces... His accumulated treasures have filled several spatial artifacts, and he ranks among the top ten on the wanted lists of both the human and demon realms, with a bounty that is incredibly tempting to both humans and demons.

In addition, his treasures are even more tempting to humans and demons alike, and countless humans and demons want to capture Fang Rui and make a fortune.

Unfortunately, no one has caught Fang Rui to this day, and they haven't even found a trace of him.

As Fang Rui's fame spread throughout the world, his acquaintances in Tushan became aware of his existence.

"Fang Rui? Someone with the same name?"

"Not necessarily, perhaps it's a reincarnation."

"Does he have someone to continue his marriage with?"

"No way! He hasn't come back since he left Tushan. Even if there's someone to continue the bond, there's no chance for them to do so!"

After all, if they want to continue their relationship, they must make a vow together under the Bitter Love Tree.

The demon kings, who were chatting together, looked at each other for a while. Their guess that the world-famous "Fang Rui" was the "Fang Rui" they knew disappeared, but their interest in the new "Fang Rui" did not diminish.

After all, he was known as a "mobile treasure trove." The demon kings, who still craved money and treasures, were discussing where "Fang Rui" would appear next, and were eager to ambush him in advance.

The Poisonous Scorpion Demon King, who ambushed Fang Rui more than two hundred years ago, still lives in Tushan because the incident was not exposed.

When he heard the name "Fang Rui" again today, the first person he thought of was the one from more than two hundred years ago. After all, he had identified Fang Rui as someone who could threaten the demon race, so he naturally had a deep impression of him.

But then he changed his mind and rejected his initial thought, believing it was someone with the same name.

"Heh~ Looks like I'm going to kill another 'Fang Rui'. I'm actually kind of looking forward to it!"

The Poisonous Scorpion Demon King, who was very interested in money and treasure, immediately set off from Tushan, determined to start searching for "Fang Rui" today, find him, and then steal the treasure from him.

The reason why the Poison Scorpion Demon King is so proactive is probably because the daily expenses of Tushan are increasing day by day!

Since Tu Shan Hong Hong took over Tu Shan, prices in Tu Shan have risen rapidly, causing some poor demon kings to consider making money.

As an elder of the demon race, the Poison Scorpion Demon King was naturally not too poor, but he wasn't too rich either. Simply put, he had a little money, which is why he was struggling with the ever-increasing cost of living in Tushan.

The Bitter Love Giant Tree is located in the core area of ​​Tushan, within the nearby lush green lawn.

The three Tu Shan sisters looked at the blank sheet of paper containing information about "Fang Rui" and discussed the matter...

"Is it him?" Tu Shan Honghong asked.

"It's definitely him!" Tu Shan Ya Ya's tone was full of certainty.

"Sister Ya Ya, how did you determine that?!" Tu Shan Rongrong, who had grown into a little girl, asked curiously.

"Of course it's...intuition!!!" Tu Shan Ya Ya said matter-of-factly, "Moreover, according to the description in the intelligence, many of the abilities that 'Fang Rui' has shown are very similar to the magic of fox demons. As a human, yet able to use magic, who do you think of?!"

The image of Fang Rui immediately appeared in the minds of Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Rongrong.

but……

Unfounded associations cannot be used as evidence.

Tu Shan Rongrong: "...Sister Ya Ya, intuition cannot be used as evidence, although I think what you said makes a lot of sense."

They share the same name and can perform sorcery as humans; even if they are not the same person, they must be related.

Tu Shan Hong lowered her eyelids, thought for a moment, and said, "Instruct Tu Shan's intelligence agency to gather information on 'Fang Rui' and find out his true identity."

“Okay,” Tu Shan Rongrong replied.

at the same time……

The various sects in the human realm are also discussing "Fang Rui." Those whose treasures were stolen from and their sects want to capture him to recover their wealth and restore their reputation, while others want to make a fortune.

Based on the known intelligence, namely the distribution area and order of the thieves' sects, we can determine Fang Rui's location and speculate on the town he might visit next and the sect he might patronize.

In addition, Fang Rui's hardcore thieving style has become known to cultivators. He first ambushes and knocks out everyone in the cultivation sect or the One Qi Alliance's territory, and then carefully searches the sect or territory to find all the treasures hidden there.

The cultivators of the One Qi Alliance, the cultivators of various sects, and the rogue cultivators did not consider how the other party developed their habits, but most cultivators agreed that they could use the other party's quirks to capture them.

After all... according to the intelligence we have so far, Fang Rui did not succeed in his ambush of several cultivators. This shows that although Fang Rui's ability to hide is very strong, he can still be detected.

Therefore, after a rather heated debate, a group of cultivators discussed several sects and locations that Fang Rui might "visit" and gathered their forces in those places.

In a certain town, located in the buffer zone between the core area and the border region of the human world, the town is slightly more prosperous than the towns in the border region.

Fang Rui, who had been staying here for a day, had already completed his reconnaissance work yesterday, but the unexpected incident yesterday forced him to suspend his operations. Throughout the day, cultivators flew into the city from all directions.

The sight of so many cultivators gathered here made Fang Rui's mind race. He guessed that a demon king was coming to attack, so he decided to investigate the situation.

If it is a wicked demon king, then lend a hand to the One Qi Alliance and deal with the attacking demon king.

However, the results of the investigation were beyond Fang Rui's expectations...

"Is that your target?!"

Fang Rui gently scratched his cheek, feeling somewhat speechless.

With such a large commotion, he thought it was some famous and powerful demon king attacking!

The result was that they were looking for him, an ordinary, unremarkable person... no, an ordinary thief would be more appropriate.

"Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

With a plan in mind, Fang Rui selected suitable weapons from his spatial artifact. After all, there were quite a few enemies, and he might not be able to win without weapons.

"Oh, right, and the treasure..."

Fang Rui walked out of the city, hiding several spatial artifacts inside a tree deep in the mountains and forests, and leaving several marks on the artifacts for easy retrieval later.

"This mission is a bit dangerous, so we can't carry any treasure with us."

"No, let's bring one! So many people went through so much trouble to defeat me, it's a bit much not to give them some reward, it's like defeating a boss in a game only to have the game crash when the reward is being given out..."

Chapter 130 Abandoning the Operation

"...I be so angry he'll have a speech impediment!"

Fang Rui pondered for a moment before sharing his guess. After all, he had seen similar scenes before, where people would draw lots countless times in the game without getting anything, and would become so angry that their speech would become disordered, and they would shout wildly like curly-haired baboons.

"It seems quite interesting; I'd like to watch it."

However, after careful consideration, Fang Rui ultimately abandoned the somewhat tempting plan.

After all... it's not good to be inhuman.

After slipping a spatial storage ring onto his right index finger, Fang Rui returned to the city and waited for night to fall...

Fang Rui didn't know whether there was a difference between the starry sky seen in ancient cities and the starry sky seen in modern cities; in his opinion, there seemed to be no difference between the two.

However, in reality, there are differences between the two.

As for the differences, Fang Rui had no intention of finding out, since he had no interest in it. The reason he looked at the starry sky was to check if there were any rune arrays set up above the town.

"They didn't even set up any rune arrays? Are they underestimating me?!"

As he spoke, Fang Rui's figure gradually became transparent, and he set off for the cultivator sect within the city.

The sect stationed here is a well-known sect. Its cultivators are mainly weapon refiners, and they are responsible for supplying the magical treasures needed by several nearby border cities.

Therefore, the sect's treasure vault stores a considerable number of magical treasures, ranging from the lowest-level ordinary magical treasures to relatively high-level magical treasures.
