YM778.TV Chapter 2: Is talent used like this?
Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself, "Looks like I need to find a way to understand this world anew."
He didn\'t want to die inexplicably.
Before, without any crises, he could loaf around and listen to music at the pleasure house.
But now, knowing the dangers ahead, Jiang Yifeng felt he really needed to change.
Suddenly, Jiang Yifeng recalled the twelfth year of the simulation. It seemed his father had started to become restless around that time. Could it be that he knew something?
He noted down this clue.
After some analysis, Jiang Yifeng glanced at the simulation rewards.
He couldn\'t bear to look!The "Three-Minute Enthusiasm" (Talent) was definitely not an option.
As for the "Pleasure House Listening to Music Experience" (about 13 years) and the "Martial Arts Experience" (8 and a half hours).
The simulator didn\'t even bother to collect energy value for these rewards, which showed their "value."
Shaking his head, Jiang Yifeng could only choose the "Martial Arts Experience" (8 and a half hours).
[Ding, Martial Arts Experience (8 and a half hours), consumed 0 energy value, remaining energy value 0.]
The first simulation reward settlement was complete.
Jiang Yifeng didn\'t feel any improvement.
He secretly pondered whether to simulate again.
After a moment of thought, Jiang Yifeng muttered to himself.
"Indeed, I need to simulate again. Even if I don\'t get any rewards, I need to understand the true nature of this world and investigate what cultivators are all about."
Only by understanding these things could he better save himself and protect his family.
With a clear plan in mind, Jiang Yifeng casually exchanged some items in his room for energy.
"Detected one silver ingot, successfully absorbed, gained 10 energy points."
"Detected one gold ring, successfully absorbed, gained 50 energy points."
"Detected one night pearl, successfully absorbed, gained 200 energy points."
***
This time, he didn\'t want those useless free talents.
So he promptly exchanged some energy points for backup.
After everything was done, Jiang Yifeng kept reminding himself, "No pleasure house listening to music, investigate cultivators, improve myself."
Then he silently recited,
"Start simulation."
[Consumed 1 simulation attempt, remaining attempts 1]
[Host privileges allow drawing white talent or green talent!]
[Drawing white talent does not consume energy, green talent consumes 1000 energy points, draw?]
"1000 energy points, that\'s just a few ordinary night pearls, not expensive."
Jiang Yifeng mumbled to himself.
This amount of energy was a piece of cake for Jiang Yifeng, the young master of the Jiang Clan Firm, the top firm in the Great Abyssal Kingdom.
Since that\'s the case, why hesitate?
"Draw green talent."
[Ding, deducted 1000 energy points, remaining energy points 5260, drawing green talent.]
[Congratulations on obtaining green talent: Passerby A.]
[Passerby A]: As a passerby, you can always hear information that most people don\'t know; Note: Limited to mortals.
Seeing this talent description, Jiang Yifeng\'s eyes lit up.
Sure enough, spending money made a difference.
This information-type talent came just in time, as he wanted to investigate the truth of this world.
Without further thought, Jiang Yifeng turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[Second simulation begins.]
[Due to the outcome of the first simulation, you realized this world is not as simple as you thought.]
[This made you feel a sense of urgency; you wanted to save yourself and also wanted to cultivate.]
[You thought that your father, Jiang Fushan, might know something.]
[So you hurried to ask your father if there were cultivators in this world.]
***
Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng smiled knowingly.
His anxious heart finally relaxed a bit.
It turned out that his actions outside the simulator could influence the simulation process; his previous psychological hints worked.
However, with the unreliable experience from the first simulation, Jiang Yifeng didn\'t dare to be careless.
He kept reminding himself, "No pleasure house listening to music, investigate cultivators."
Then he continued to watch the simulation.
***
[Your father laughed when he heard you ask if there were cultivators in this world, telling you to read fewer storybooks.]
[You didn\'t know if your father was deliberately not telling you or if he really didn\'t know.]
[In the end, you could only give up on getting clues from him.]
[The next day, you scoured Green Hills City for information about cultivators.]
[Most commoners said there were immortals, but when you asked where the immortals were, who they were, and if they had seen them, the answer was always no.]
[You instantly understood that the immortals they spoke of were different from the cultivators you were looking for.]
[They were talking about fantasy immortals, while you were searching for real cultivators.]
[On the third day, you learned that the head of the Wu Family Martial Arts School, Wu Youdao, had traveled extensively, and you thought he might know something.]
[So you visited the Wu Family Martial Arts School to ask Wu Youdao about cultivators.]
[Unfortunately, Wu Youdao said he had only heard about cultivators in storybooks and had never seen them in reality.]
[Despite this, Wu Youdao said that if martial arts were practiced to the extreme, one could split mountains and cut through the earth; he asked if you were willing to learn from him for a tuition fee of a thousand taels of silver per year.]
[Wu Youdao\'s words inspired you; you thought that perhaps you should not only investigate cultivators but also martial arts masters.]
[Those martial arts masters might also be able to fly and escape, or kill with sword qi.]
[So you asked Wu Youdao to demonstrate. If he could do it, you were willing to pay ten thousand taels of gold per year to become his disciple.]
[Wu Youdao\'s face darkened, and he kicked you out.]
[On the fourth day, you continued to gather information, to no avail.]
[On the fifth day, Passerby A (Talent) was triggered. As you walked on the west side of the city, you suddenly heard someone talking about Old Wang the butcher from the east side of the city having an affair with Widow Liu next door.]
[This made you a bit stunned. The voice in your ear sounded familiar, like Aunt Li who sold tofu on the east side.]
[But this was too exaggerated. Someone talking on the east side, and you heard it on the west side. Could this be the talent\'s ability?]
***
In reality, Jiang Yifeng was also shocked by the power of this talent.
But he was also quite speechless. Who told you to use the talent like this?
I wanted to know more useful information!
"Sigh." Jiang Yifeng sighed helplessly.
Although this information was useless, it at least helped him understand the Passerby A (Talent) better.
This talent triggered randomly, and when it did, it transmitted conversations from other places directly into his ears.
Whether the information was useful or not might depend on luck.
Jiang Yifeng smiled wryly and continued to look at the simulation panel.
