Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

The aftershocks of the commotion raged on, and smoke and dust howled.

The leader's body, like a broken rag doll, sank deep into the ground, spurting blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Wen Yu's sword trembled slightly, parting the swirling dust and revealing the fragmented surroundings.

The sword tip touched the other man's neck, lifting his head.

"What is your connection with Loulan in the Western Regions?"

The cold voice was calm, and the leader's pupils shrank upon hearing it.

He forced a smile, trying to maintain a mocking tone and express his unyielding spirit.

puff!

Sword energy emanated from it.

The severed head rolled to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

The leader's eyes widened, wondering why this person, after asking the question, would strike without waiting for his answer.

"I know the answer, you don't need to answer."

Wen Yu used his sword energy to wash away the bloodstains on the sword, his tone calm.

Having held the title of "Intelligence Master" for so many years and in charge of the intelligence agency, his basic interrogation and intelligence gathering capabilities are at their peak.

He doesn't need to get the information he wants from the other person.

By observing subtle changes in facial expressions, one can confirm their suspicions.

"Meow~"

Xu Kun walked with elegant steps, circling the leader's corpse.

"Is this person connected to the Western Regions? Is he part of the force Yin Qian is secretly developing and plotting a rebellion?"

The cunning nature of his inner demons allowed him to deduce many things from mere fragments of conversation.

"Um."

Wen Yu confirmed his guess and looked around.

The commotion caused chaos in the mountain stronghold, and soldiers hastily donned armor and drew their swords, rushing out of the camp.

They are closing in on this area.

The raven-blue figure disintegrated into fragments of black light, swaying in all directions, creating a hazy, beautiful, and unpredictable trajectory.

The sword's force raged, its energy crisscrossed, and its power was overwhelming.

This brought a desperate massacre upon these hundreds of soldiers and bandits.

In a short while, Wen Yu stood amidst the corpses strewn across the mountain stronghold, with blood flowing along the ground around him, forming a horrifying scene.

[Complete the mission to quell the bandit gang's military threat.]

[One additional simulation attempt will be awarded.]

Upon hearing that the reward had been distributed, Wen Yu shook the blood off his sword.

"Come up."

Xu Kun leaped lightly and crouched down on his shoulder.

A cat and a person disappeared.

All that remained were hundreds of corpses and the thick, pungent smell of blood in the air.

Upon returning to the small village, Wen Yu spotted the old man lingering in the courtyard from afar.

He obviously couldn't sleep, so he got up to check and found that he wasn't in the room. He waited anxiously.

"Little one, where have you been?"

Upon seeing Wen Yu return, the old man felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his aged face.

A splashing sound.

Wen Yu put down the gold, silver and other valuables he had looted from the mountain stronghold.

"I have already wiped out that bandit gang's stronghold, so no one will come looking for trouble anymore."

Based on the intelligence from the last simulation.

Yin Qian secretly developed his military strength in several prefectures near the Western Regions in Yongzhou.

Each mountain stronghold had at most a thousand people, scattered among each other, waiting only for the day they would rise up in rebellion.

The news that the mountain stronghold near the small village had been destroyed was relayed back, and people were then dispatched to investigate.

At that time, Wei Qi had already assembled his troops and begun a full-scale annihilation operation.

They had no time to spare for this remote little village.

Your connection with them has now come to an end.

The old man stared in disbelief at the gold and silver scattered on the ground, and upon hearing your words, his expression became blank.

Then tears welled up in his old eyes.

They should kneel down and kowtow in gratitude.

Wen Yu supported his hunched back and gestured to the simple longsword in his hand.

"No need to thank me, I've already received my payment."

The old man stared blankly at the blacksmith's rough craftsmanship, then shook his head with a wry smile.

A life-saving grace is worth a fortune.

How could this broken sword possibly repay such a debt?

Wen Yu looked towards the house, where the little girl rubbed her eyes in confusion and came out.

She greeted him with a pure and innocent smile.

"Buy her more meat; she's still growing."

After saying that, he gestured to Xu Kun, who was squatting on the wall, and turned to walk out of the village.

The figures of the cat and the person gradually disappeared from the old man's sight.

"Big brother, where are we going now? Meow~"

Xu Kun's tone was eager, clearly indicating that he wanted to carefully plan his future enemies after learning that he had crossed the river of time and returned to the starting point.

"Golden Scale City".

"Oh, looking for those two bastards, Pang Hai and Xu Hui? Meow~"

Wen Yu nodded, preparing to use his movement technique to leave, when a commotion came from the village behind him.

"My benefactor!"

The old man staggered, followed closely by all the villagers, and ran out of the village with torches in his hands.

Bang bang bang!

They all knelt down before you, their faces filled with gratitude and reverence.

The little girl was also made to kowtow by her grandfather.

Although I don't know the full story, I vaguely understand that you have done them a great favor.

They imitated the adults in a very serious manner.

"Big brother, they're thanking you, meow~"

Wen Yu turned around abruptly, his clothes fluttering, and vanished as fragments of black light.

"I do not need their thanks. I only hope that one day, no one will need to kneel and worship, but will strive upwards without yielding, like the rising sun at eight or nine in the morning."

The voice lingered, echoing through the night.

A cat and a person left the village.

……

Golden Scale City.

Returning to this familiar place felt like a day had passed.

Xu Kun wagged its tail and followed behind, its emerald eyes curiously observing the passersby around it.

They seem to be searching for Pang Hai and Xu Hui.

"Keep a low profile. If you have any ideas, wait until later before taking action."

Xu Kun immediately understood that his elder brother was about to use that supreme divine power again to lead him through a divination, just like last time.

At this moment, Xu Kun is essentially a manifestation of Wen Yu's inner demons.

Therefore, they have their own understanding of the world of simulators.

I bought the small courtyard next to the tofu stall once again.

Watching the frail woman busy at her stall, Zuo Shi sensed through her spiritual power that she was helping out from behind.

Having not yet experienced the heartbreak of her mother's death, she possesses a unique youthful vigor.

Wen Yu did not disturb her for the time being.

The current plan is to maintain a low profile in the real world and go all out in the simulation.

Because in this world, there are those powerful figures sitting in the central courtyard, immortals hanging high in the sky, immortal beings from various secret realms, extraterrestrial demons, monsters and evil spirits...

Too many powerful figures, and those who are incredibly cunning.

The last simulation ended in chaos in the central courtyard and an invasion of the capital, but it only revealed the tip of the iceberg of the world.

Who knows if there are more behind-the-scenes manipulators controlling the world's direction?

A person and a cat sat in front of a tofu stall and drank a bowl of plain tofu pudding.

"The tofu seller's skills are still better."

Wen Yu sighed, put down the copper coins to pay the bill, got up and left, returning to the courtyard next door.

This time I bought a soft silk quilt.

I took a hot bath, enjoyed a pot of tea, and then lay comfortably in bed.

Bring your hands together in front of your body, with your right foot resting on your left.

"Emulator, start!"

[With sword in hand, he entered the forest stronghold at night, wiping out bandits and quelling the village's calamity.]

You've returned to Golden Scale City, the place where everything began. This time, you've decided to deliver a huge surprise to the Great Cang Dynasty.

[He rose from the soft, yielding blankets.]

The cool autumn wind blows, and the dark blue robe is shed, revealing new skin.

Stand in front of the mirror.

[Your youthful appearance is elegant and refined, your bearing upright and dignified, your dark hair tied up, your demeanor calm and composed, untouched by any sign of misfortune.]

[Wearing a long, dark-colored robe.]

[Cinched waist, wide sleeves, long skirt.]

[Unlike the free-spirited elegance of a dark blue long gown, this one appears rustic, mysterious, and refined.]

[The design subtly evokes the style of a Taoist robe.]

"Old Taoist priest, I'm going to rely on you for the rest of my life..."
