#7Chapter 7 Bronze Level Simulation!

[Detected dungeon items Thug Minion Token*30, Patrol Thug Token*15, total recycling value of 60 simulation energy, including 30 points for Thug Minion Tokens and 30 points for Patrol Thug Tokens. Recycle?]

"A Thug Minion Token is only worth 1 point of simulation energy? And a Patrol Thug Token is only worth 2 points?" Link, hearing the system prompt, was slightly stunned.

Somewhat unsure of the simulation system's pricing standards, Link didn't immediately choose to confirm the recycling, but instead placed the Second Boss's greatsword on it.

[Detected Level 5 Bronze equipment, recycling value of 15 simulation energy. Recycle?]

"No!" He chose no without hesitation.

Link quickly retracted the Second Boss's greatsword and placed the Thug Tokens back on.

What a joke! The Second Boss's greatsword is a hot commodity worth 2500 Federal Credits, while the Thug Minion Tokens are only worth 40 to 50 yuan on the campus trading network. Patrol Thug Tokens are more expensive, but don't exceed 100 yuan each.

In other words, on Donghua University's trading website, the Second Boss's greatsword, worth 2500 Federal Credits, can be exchanged for 25 Patrol Thug Tokens!

Calculating each Patrol Thug Token at 2 simulation points in the system, that's a full 50 simulation energy!

Even if Link were stupid, he wouldn't recycle the [Second Boss's Greatsword] to the simulation system for 15 simulation points.

"It seems the simulation system has a different evaluation system for the value of recycled items."

He stroked his chin.

Link tried placing the [Thug Leader's Insignia], which has the highest value among Professionals, on the recycling panel.

Seeing that the recycling price was even 3 points lower than the [Second Boss's Greatsword], only 12 simulation points, Link didn't hesitate to take down the [Thug Leader's Insignia] and relist it on the campus trading network.

Selling for 3399 Federal Credits, the lowest price in the entire school!

In less than ten seconds, an email was sent to Link's smart watch on his wrist.

(Ding! The item you just listed has been sold. Please check your transaction funds in a timely manner.)

"3399 Federal Credits, even after deducting the 1% campus trading network service fee, still leaves me with 3365 Federal Credits."

"Enough to exchange for 33 Patrol Thug Tokens, recycling for 66 simulation energy!"

"Back and forth, that's 54 more simulation energy earned. Bold system, trying to scam me out of simulation energy!"

Secretly giving himself a thumbs up for his wit.

Link continued to follow suit, putting the monster-dropped copper coins and the Second Boss's greatsword on the trading network for 'low-price' sale, converting them all into Thug Tokens that were useless to most Professionals.

He exchanged them for a total of 40 Patrol Thug Tokens and 20 Thug Minion Tokens, worth exactly 100 simulation energy.

Adding to the 126 simulation energy Link had exchanged before, after a round of to-and-fro, the dungeon income that was originally only worth 87 simulation points was sold by Link for a high price of 226 simulation energy!

"I just don't know how much simulation energy is needed to exchange for one simulation chance." Looking at the 226 simulation energy on the panel.

Link immediately couldn't wait to open the simulation panel and choose to exchange for simulation chances.

[Ding, this exchange for a simulation chance requires 100 simulation energy. Exchange?]

"100 simulation energy? Holy crap? How is it so cheap?" Link was overjoyed, not expecting that a simulation chance with a year-long cooldown would only cost simulation energy worth 5000 Federal Credits.

He immediately chose yes without hesitation.

[Ding, successfully exchanged 1 Clone Simulation chance. Start simulation?]

As 100 simulation energy was deducted.

The simulation chances on the clone panel changed from 0 to 1 as expected.

Without hesitation, Link, who urgently needed a thicker clone thigh, chose yes.

[Please select simulation level...]

[1. Free Simulation: No additional energy cost. In this simulation, your clone will receive a random Black Iron-level talent.]

[2. Bronze-Level Simulation: Consumes an additional 100 energy for the simulation. In this simulation, your clone will receive a Bronze-level talent.]

[3. Silver-Level Simulation: Not yet open, will be unlocked after the clone's level breaks through Level 20.]

[4. Gold-Level Simulation...]

"I choose the Bronze-Level Simulation." He quickly interrupted the system's incessant chatter.

Link glanced at the remaining 100 simulation energy, and remembering the humiliating experience of his clone starting with a Black Iron talent in the last simulation, he immediately gritted his teeth and made a choice.

[Ding! Bronze-Level Simulation activated, cost: 1 Simulation Chance, 100 Simulation Energy, remaining Simulation Chances: 0.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Awakening Era, September 31, Year 11. On this special day, your clone opened its eyes, knowing that it had been sent into the simulation by you.]

[Your clone received a gift from you: Bronze-level talent · Life Resistance.]

[Life Resistance: Bronze-level talent. Your clone gains an additional 20% health bonus, and gains 10%~35% damage reduction after taking damage. The more severe the injury, the higher the damage reduction effect.]

"I didn't expect to randomly get this talent…"

Seeing the talent his clone had received in the simulation.

Link's eyes widened slightly, with an expression of disbelief.

Could it be that God has opened his eyes? After I and my clone successively awakened two major Black Iron-level sewer skills, has he finally become unbearable and come to compensate me?

It should be known that Life Resistance is different from Clone and Reinforced Charge, which are recognized as sewer talents.

Even among the many Bronze-level talents, Life Resistance is definitely a T1-level or even T0-level talent!

Especially for those who aspire to become front-row professions such as warriors and knights, the health bonus and high damage reduction provided by Life Resistance greatly enhance its practicality, even no less than a general Silver-level talent.

"I have a premonition that this simulation will definitely be fruitful." With an excited mood.

Link quickly looked down.

[Regarding the newly acquired Bronze-level talent, your clone expressed that it was quite satisfied.]

[As one of the most suitable talents for warriors among Bronze-level talents, the extra health bonus and high damage reduction it brings can greatly improve his tankiness as a front-row warrior. Next, he can consider developing in the direction of heavily armored warriors known for their defense.]

[It's a pity that the first round of group challenge dungeon rushes has passed, and the protection value has been consumed by the real body. The clone, who has obtained a new talent, finds that it has nothing to do for the time being.]

[What? You say challenge the wilderness? The clone is not willing to go on dangerous actions that the main body is unwilling to go to. If it weren't for the fact that the talent carried in the last simulation was too garbage, and he was expelled from school and had no way out, how could he have ventured into the wilderness?]

[Your clone decisively rejected the idea of going to the wilderness to adventure, and instead returned to the school dormitory.]

[In the next few days, your clone signed up for all the theoretical courses, tried its best to study the strategies of the major dungeons of Donghua University, and after comprehensive consideration, finally locked the strategy target of the next dungeon on the Level 5 dungeon [Goblin Tribe].]

"Huh? Are you getting ahead of yourself? You haven't even cleared the Level 1 Thug Mountain Stronghold dungeon yet, and you're already trying to challenge the Level 5 dungeon?!"

Seeing this, Link's face darkened.
