Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Addition: Ancient Simulation

Translator: 549690339

[Day 30, you found yet another water attribute energy crystal stone. This time, you’re a little scared. All sorts of conspiracy theories and protagonist theories flash across your mind. But you still swallowed it, leveling up to Awakening Level 7.]

[Day 40, you encounter energy crystals every day, and you’ve grown used to it. You’ve already advanced to Awakening Level 10, and require special pet beast resources to break through to the Extraordinary Level.]

[After days of traveling, you realize that the levels of the pet beast species you encounter are getting higher, their strengths increasing. It seems you’re gradually moving deeper into the territory. You start deciding your next opponent.]

[Being a newcomer, you pick an easy target. A Water Snake of the Intermediate Transcendent Species caught your attention and you easily defeated and devoured it, which greatly boosted your confidence.]

[Day 41, you discover a pair of Water Rabbits in their mating season, engaged in the act of procreation.]

[You pay your respects, then plan to ambush them, but to your surprise, five more Water Rabbits join in. You’re scared by the sight of the chain of rabbits.]

[You ran.]

[Day 42, your habit of gathering energy crystals is discovered by a high-grade transcendent Water Duck, which launches a fierce attack on you using the [Water Cannon] skill.]

[Caught off guard, you struggle to cope. Fortunately, you react swiftly and fight back ferociously, successfully vanquishing the Water Duck.]

[After activating the [Devour] Gift Skill, you successfully trigger an effect that elevates your species level. Your species level is raised to Intermediate Transcendent.]

[You feel a loosening in the bottleneck of your abilities.]

[Day 43, with the increase in your species level, your strength has also improved dramatically. You start seeking powerful enemies to challenge in order to progress.]

[Day 48, you run into a High-Level Extraordinary Species Jumping Frog. Its exceptional jumping ability fails to court an advantage against your [Rapid Movement] skill. You play with it at will, subsequently defeating and devouring it. Moreover, in its den, you fortuitously find a low-grade transcendent Water Attribute Energy Fruit approaching ripeness. You start waiting for the energy fruit to mature.]

[Day 52, just as the Energy Fruit is about to ripen, an uninvited guest appears. It’s an Extraordinary Species, the Rare Element Water Sprite, of the low-ranking commander level.]

[The Water Sprite is attracted by the oscillations emanating from the Energy Fruit. It, like you, is at Awakening Level 10, and the Energy Fruit is all that stands between it and the Extraordinary Level.]

[Under the impetus of mutual interest, a battle ensues between you. The Water Sprite boasts numerous water attribute skills. Plus, your [Spit Water] skill is significantly less effective against it, rendering you unable to defeat it. You’re left with no choice but to use the ripening Energy Fruit as leverage.]

[Faced with the risk of the Energy Fruit being destroyed, the Water Sprite concedes and waits with you for the Energy Fruit to mature.]

[Day 55, over the course of these three days, you and the Water Sprite wait together for the Energy Fruit to mature.]

[Commander species pet beasts possess considerable spiritual wisdom. Under your skillful persuasion and perfect pitch, the Water Sprite finds great pleasure in your company, taking to you instantly as if you were old friends, and accepting you as its boss, following your commands.]

[The Energy Fruit matures. You suggest the Water Sprite to consume it, but it insists on giving it to you and threatens suicide. You reluctantly agree to take it.]

[You successfully increase your growth level to low-grade transcendent, comprehend the High-order Gift Skills [Doubling], and with the accumulated gains in skill proficiency and combat experience, your species level breaks through to High-level Extraordinary.]

[Day 56, now that you have a powerful sidekick, you both begin sweeping through all the pet beasts you encounter.]

[Day 66, over the course of these ten days, you successfully defeat 100 water attribute pet beasts, earning the recognition of the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, and receiving its blessing.]

[Meanwhile, within these ten days, you found the second Energy Fruit. The Water Sprite’s growth level upgrades to low-grade transcendent, enhancing its loyalty towards you.]

[Blessing of the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm: When facing more than 100 pet beasts, skill power increases by 5%.]

[Day 88, you venture deeper into the Water Mysterious Realm. Over the course of twenty days of unrelenting battles, your [Rapid Movement] skill has reached the Perfect Level. And upon your request, the Water Sprite teaches you low-order skills [Water Cannon], [Water Vortex].]

[However, as the two of you venture too deep into the territory of powerful pet beasts, a Giant Claw Shrimp of low-ranking commander growth level makes its appearance.]

[You use [Rapid Movement] to try and escape, but the range of the Giant Claw Shrimp’s High-order skill [Whirlpool Strangulation] is vast, and you are unfortunately sucked into it.]

[You die.]

[After the simulation ends, you can choose to retain the following:]

[Choice 1: Retain your memories from the simulation, as well as all the knowledge, skills, and combat experience you learned.]

[Choice 2: Retain your species level.]

[Choice 3: Retain your growth level.]

[Choice 4: Retain the clause for seven days.]

[Note: You’ve been recognized by the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, and after making your choice, you will receive additional blessings from the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm.]

Vincent Wolf is still lying in bed at this point, too weak to get up.

“This simulation was not too bad; my species level elevated to High-level Extraordinary, and my growth level reached the Extraordinary Level.”

“[Rapid Movement] skill has reached the Perfect Level, learning lower-order skills [Water Cannon], [Water Vortex], and even the high-order Gift Skills [Doubling]. On top of that, I stumbled into what seems like a not-so-beneficial blessing.”

“I’ll pass on the clause. It feels like a money-making Gift skill, but it seems useless. I don’t lack money now, and even if I did, I wouldn’t choose this. Choosing this would mean I’m lacking in intelligence.”

“If I choose to retain the growth level, my beast space at the Apprentice Level won’t be able to handle it.”

“Memories could be an option. High-Level Extraordinary species is also good. If I choose to retain memories, I’d have a ton of skills. But the promotion of species level is all-around. This is a dilemma!”

“Ah! If only I could get up now, then I could resolve this by just flipping a coin. This indecision is killing me.”

“Forget it, I’ll choose the memories, there’s no such thing as too many skills, and next time, I might not have a Water Sprite to leech off.”

As the memories flood in, Vincent Wolf watches the life he led as a Slime in this simulation. Everything is deeply ingrained in his mind and body.

Along with the comprehension and improvement of many skills, Barry’s growth level also advances by 1 level, reaching Awakening Level 5.

In addition, a fog of white light floats from an unidentified location into Vincent Wolf’s Beast Space and into Barry, which seems to be the blessing of the Spirit of the Mysterious Realm.

[Prompt: You’ve gained recognition from the Spirit of the Water Mysterious Realm, new Mysterious Realms can be added.]

[Prompt: Ancient Simulation Authority has been activated, the Water Mysterious Realm has been added to the Ancient Simulation Sequence.]

“There’s something new?” Vincent Wolf is excited.

“Quick! I want to execute the Ancient Simulation!”
