Starting from the prison, an infinite simulation

Inside a primeval forest, on the shore of a lake.

Jiang Yueming had just woken up and stepped out of the cave when he saw a large group of animals carefully drinking water.

No! That's not an animal, it's a hearty breakfast.

With this idea in mind, he began to eagerly approach the animals.

Most animals are quite alert, especially herbivores like cows and sheep, which frequently raise their heads to observe their surroundings.

However, some animals are completely oblivious to danger and only care about drinking water to quench their thirst.

For example, today's breakfast was wild porcupine.

They live on the island year-round and are very familiar with the environment. They are often accompanied by tigers, grizzly bears, wolves, and other animals.

Ordinary wild animals dare not provoke them, unless absolutely necessary.

Top predators wouldn't bother with porcupines, since hunting them would be a Pyrrhic victory.

Furthermore, if one is injured, it means death; one will either be eaten by one's own kind or devoured by other animals.

Based on the above points, this porcupine dared to drink water so casually and cautiously.

But what it didn't know was that danger was slowly approaching.

Swish!

A golden shadow suddenly pounced on the porcupine, and the sound of spiritual energy being torn apart seemed to echo in the void.

Jiang Yueming has made his move!

Almost the instant he made his move, all the animals drinking water on the lake shore scattered and fled.

The porcupine sensed the approaching death immediately and tried to run away, but it was too late.

"Demon-Suppressing and Heaven-Sealing Fist!"

The enormous fist shadow, carrying a violent burst of spiritual energy, slammed down on the porcupine's rough back.

The porcupine didn't even howl before it was smashed to pieces, its blood flowing into the lake and making the water murky.

"Wow, this fantasy world is too outrageous! One punch and a fully grown wild boar is smashed to pieces."

Jiang Yueming looked at the mess on the ground and couldn't help but sigh.

It would be absolutely impossible to accomplish such an operation on Earth.

[Note: The host has gained 1 simulation point for hunting a porcupine, currently holding 5 simulation points]

Jiang Yueming: "?"

What the hell?

Yesterday, you get 2 simulation points when you slaughter a pig, but today it's been cut in half?

Each animal can only be hunted a maximum of two times, and the simulation points earned will decrease with each subsequent hunt.

The system explained his doubts to Jiang Yueming.

"Uh... never mind, let's start the simulation."

After learning the situation, Jiang Yueming had no choice but to give up. The most important thing now was to get out of the illusion.

He doesn't want to actually become Robinson Crusoe!

[Simulated Startup]

On your first day, you arrived at Kirishima and began a large-scale campaign, successfully becoming the island's king.

The next day, you commanded the beasts to search for the Mingyu Ancient Tree, and the animals began to set out.

[Seventh day, search fruitless]

[On the twentieth day, the search was still fruitless.]

On the thirty-third day, you decided to go look for it yourself, but you still couldn't find it.

On the sixtieth day, knowing you couldn't find it, you lay down.

On the seventy-first day, you wash your neck clean in the evening and wait for the shadowy figure to come and collect your heads the next day. According to your guess, the shadowy figure will always appear on the seventy-second day.

On the seventy-second day, the shadowy figure appeared just as you predicted. You called out to him, "Sword Like a Sharp Edge," and the shadowy figure immediately froze, sparing your life.

You thought you could escape danger, but the shadowy figure feigned closeness before piercing your heart.

[You were in extreme pain, and in your dying moments you used the long-lost Egg-Shattering Fist, and Jian Rufeng was thus cut off from the lineage.]

And you, died.

[This simulation is now complete. Please select one of the following three rewards.]

[Advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm]

[Increase spiritual awareness by 35 points]

[God's Perspective 4]

"Uh... Egg-crushing punch"

Looking at the text on the panel, Jiang Yueming's lips twitched, and he was speechless.

He then chose the third reward.

The Mingyu Ancient Tree is about to open, and all the animals of Kirishima will be able to sense it.

Is it about to open?

I didn't know there was such a way to do it?

No wonder he couldn't find it after searching several times; it turns out the animals here didn't know what the Mingyu Ancient Tree was either.

This time, they gained a lot. First, they confirmed that the dark figure was indeed Jian Rufeng, whose cultivation was at the late stage of the Condensation Realm.

Secondly, we received news about the Mingyu Ancient Tree.

"But it was really bad luck. My predecessor was trapped by the Soul-Devouring Chain for so long that he couldn't even withstand a single move from Jian Rufeng," Jiang Yueming said with a wry smile, clenching his palm.

"It seems I must recover my cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise I might really die on the seventy-second day."

Jiang Yueming secretly made up his mind that he would kill Jian Rufeng in the real world sooner or later.

Let's continue the simulation; this time, he wants to increase his cultivation level!

"System, begin simulation!"

Jiang Yueming said decisively.

[Simulation activated, consuming 2 simulation points, current simulation points: 1]

On your first day, you find yourself on Kirishima Island, exploring the area firsthand. On-site investigation is an essential quality for soldiers, and you discover a clear spring in the center of the island.

After confirming it was safe, you took a sip. Your spiritual awareness increased by 8 points, and you immediately felt much more energetic.

The next day, you continued your exploration, hoping to have another adventure like yesterday, but unfortunately, you found nothing.

On the fifth day, you embark on your exploration and suddenly discover a valley you've never been to before. You enter but find nothing.

[On the seventh day, you are still exploring, but without results.]

On the nineteenth day, you went to explore again, but still found nothing.

On the twentieth day, knowing that you had searched the entire Misty Island again without any unexpected encounters, you began your return to the lake.

[On the twenty-first day, you advanced by practicing your passive Dragon Might skill. Feeling bored, you went out to explore for a day, but still found nothing.]

On your way back, a strange phenomenon occurs: a bolt of purple lightning strikes an ancient tree. You recall God's words and suddenly notice many large, ferocious beasts converging on the tree.

You felt a mixture of curiosity and excitement; perhaps that was the Mingyu Ancient Tree! So you followed closely behind the ferocious beast.

finally coming?

My newbie gift pack! My hope of escaping the illusion and returning to freedom!

Jiang Yueming was overjoyed, her heart pounding as she stared intently at the control panel.

You followed the herd of beasts to an ancient, towering tree. This tree was no different from other ancient trees, except for the smell of burning bark.

You were disappointed and turned to go home, but were surprised to find that the beasts were all gathered together and not attacking each other.

Instead, they all circled around the ancient tree, as if waiting for something. You decided to find a place to hide and see what was going on.

On the twenty-fourth day, more and more wild beasts gathered around, but you didn't pay any attention to it. Your gaze remained fixed on the ancient tree, which was slowly beginning to shed its bark, emitting a captivating fragrance. You decided to stay and investigate further.

On the twenty-fifth day, more and more of the ancient tree's bark peeled away, and the fragrance in the air grew stronger. The herd of beasts circling beneath the tree began to stir with excitement.

[You'd be right if this is the Mingyu Ancient Tree. Just wait patiently for it to completely shed its bark...]
