Chapter 19: Purple Light Suddenly Appears
The Overlord's intimidating presence still lingered, and no one dared to question Wang Ran's words.
Wang Ran managed to bluff his way through,
Becoming the acknowledged Doomsday Apostle Eleven.
However...
Even a Doomsday Apostle can't kill other Doomsday Apostles!
[Simulation Ended]
Unexpectedly, even after bluffing his way through, Wang Ran still couldn't escape his fate.
The Doomsday Apostles acknowledged his identity, then sentenced him to death by fire for murdering a comrade.
As glorious as the Overlord's battle achievements were...
His cremation was equally swift...
He burned so thoroughly that [Dying with Eyes Open] wasn't even triggered.
"A single wrong move!"
[You achieved the following in this simulation]
[①Standard Ending]
[No equipment, no skills, no experience. You rashly rushed into danger and finally achieved the standard ending everyone loves to see]
[②Audacious Fraudster]
[You successfully deceived a far more powerful individual. Although they were confused, considering the danger of this act, your courage is still commendable]
[③Amateur Cave Explorer]
[You died in a cave. Doesn't that prove how amateur you are?]
[④Torture Master]
[You left someone with severe psychological trauma]
[⑤Self-Reliance]
[You actually unlocked a new talent without the simulator's help. It seems you've become a mature savior]
[⑥God's Fanboy]
[When the Overlord displayed his divine might, you were like a starstruck little fan, just short of holding up a light stick for him. Please show some restraint]
This simulation achieved a total of six accomplishments.
This was Wang Ran's simulation with the most achievements so far, and one achievement particularly caught his attention.
"Self-Reliance?"
Wang Ran was puzzled, not remembering when he had unlocked a new talent.
He tried hard to recall the experiences of this simulation.
[You woke up from unconsciousness]
[You felt your mind had become different]
"Was it at that time?"
Wang Ran pondered.
Talents don't awaken without reason. Looking back at the five-day simulation, only the period of unconsciousness after inhaling the powder could have awakened a new talent.
"I didn't expect that powder could help awaken talents," Wang Ran mused. "If I absorb some in reality, wouldn't I become powerful even without space-time displacement?"
Tonight, he had actually spared Bai Fan's life, yet he still had to curry favor with Bai Fan.
Because for ten seconds he was an invincible man, but after ten seconds he was meat on Bai Fan's chopping block. He had no choice but to disguise himself.
If he had powerful talents in reality, with no time limit on using abilities, then he could easily resolve this awkward situation.
"I need to find an opportunity to go underground in reality."
[Survival time this simulation: 5 days]
[Congratulations, you've gained 110 free attribute points]
[Congratulations, you've gained 11 talent draw chances]
Wang Ran distributed the 110 free attribute points in a 2:1:1 ratio to strength, constitution, and agility, with the remaining two points also added to strength.
His attribute panel was refreshed.
[Strength: 212]
[Constitution: 163]
[Agility: 136]
[Spirit: 10]
[Comprehension: 10]
"Spirit and comprehension seem too low."
His strength, agility and constitution had all crossed into triple digits, with strength reaching an astonishing 212, while spirit and comprehension remained at a pitiful 10 points.
However, he hadn't actually used those two attributes yet.
"These two attributes might be related to resisting mental pollution. I haven't encountered that type of enemy yet, so let's hold off for now," he thought. At the start of his venture, he couldn't waste limited resources on non-essentials.
Wang Ran pondered: "I need to come clean with Bai Fan in the next couple days. The sooner I convince Bai Fan to cooperate with me, the greater the chance of preventing the apocalypse."
If possible, he also wanted to make contact with law enforcement.
Before the apocalypse, the state was still the most powerful force in this land. If he could get the state to take the Doomsday Apostles seriously, their plans would surely be thwarted!
But how could he make the state believe him, rather than sending him to a lab or mental hospital?
Wang Ran fell into deep thought.
This matter required the utmost caution. He couldn't sacrifice himself, nor could he turn a serious doomsday warning into a joke that no one cared about.
But no matter what, improving his abilities was never wrong.
Wang Ran's gaze swept over the talent column.
"The [Night Magic] talent is too impractical, I've never used it. It's just wasting a talent slot." Reality had no simulations, failures couldn't be redone.
He was about to come clean with Bai Fan.
At this critical juncture, he had to maximize his strength. He couldn't let useless talents occupy valuable slots.
He decided to replace [Night Magic].
"Draw talent!"
He had accumulated 21 talent draw chances,
And used them all this time.
Accompanied by a pleasant chime, lines of text in various colors appeared before Wang Ran's eyes.
Wang Ran was momentarily overwhelmed.
He first skimmed through quickly, then eliminated the obviously useless talents, such as being good at telling bad jokes, increasing all attributes by one, eating grapes without spitting out the skin, and so on.
In the end, only five talents remained.
[Borrowing the East Wind: Summon a southeastern wind, wind strength related to comprehension level (At first I thought I was a military advisor, later I realized I was Tony Leung)]
With this talent, Wang Ran could blow away the powder released by the strange flower, which would greatly help him reach the second milestone.
However, Wang Ran didn't want to choose this talent,
Because its application was too narrow, and it wouldn't help persuade Bai Fan.
[Swift as Lightning: When actively triggered, agility is doubled, but cannot break the limits of being human (Since my girlfriend learned I had this talent, my body has been deteriorating day by day)]
"Being unable to break limits makes it a bit useless."
Wang Ran frowned.
This talent seemed impressive, but not being able to break limits meant it could only increase attributes by 500 points at most, while he could earn over 100 attribute points in a single simulation.
Rather than wasting a slot on this talent, he might as well do a few more simulations to max out his agility.
[Turning Stone to Gold: You can use your fist to smash pebbles into gold nuggets, but this consumes your spirit (Although I became a billionaire, I never understood if this was alchemy or brute force creating miracles, or perhaps both?)]
This was also a green talent,
But its usefulness far surpassed [Swift as Lightning].
As long as it was still peacetime,
He could use this talent to acquire vast wealth, not only living a life of luxury beyond ordinary people's imagination, but also establishing his own foundation and power base.
He could even become king of a small country!
But the problem was also here - this talent was only useful in peacetime.
If the apocalypse came...
[Lotus Steps: You can borrow force in midair for ten steps (I swear I can calculate addition and subtraction within ten, the reason I'm hospitalized is because someone interrupted me, also the hospital WiFi is very fast)]
This was a blue talent.
Borrowing force in midair!
Wang Ran was very tempted by this talent. With his current jumping ability, borrowing force for ten steps in midair was equivalent to short-distance flight.
This talent had a wider range of applications than [Gentle Breeze],
And more potential than [Swift as Lightning].
Although it couldn't turn stones into gold, even being rich couldn't make him fly!
What if he needed money?
With his abilities, couldn't he earn as much as he wanted, however he wanted?
Without doubt, [Lotus Steps] was the best among the current talents.
But Wang Ran didn't decide immediately,
Because his pupils still reflected a hint of otherworldly purple light.
This was the first time he had drawn a purple talent!
