My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 2

Ch 2: Apology

“The key is still to earn more money.”

Gu Yang calmed down and thought about the most important point.

This system is just like those games in his previous life, it’s a money pit.

Only with money can he continue to simulate life.

However, now that he is already a martial artist, with strength, earning money will naturally be much easier, unlike how miserable he was before.

Back then, he had to lie in ambush in the mountains for several days to get that sable.

Gu Yang thought, “It’s time to leave Liu Family Village.”

At this moment, a burly figure walked over, “Gu Yang, are you okay? I heard some noise just now and thought your house had collapsed.”

The person who came was Liu Shitou, who had taken him in.

Gu Yang’s house was also built with his help, right next to his house.

He said, “It’s nothing, I was just practicing my martial arts.”

Liu Shitou’s gaze fell on the hole in the door frame, his expression somewhat shocked, “This… could it be that you—”

Gu Yang knew what he wanted to ask, and without hiding it, nodded, “That’s right, I’ve cultivated True Qi.”

Cultivating True Qi is the symbol of entering the ranks.

Liu Shitou was so shocked that he couldn’t speak.

The kung fu passed down in his family is indeed not up to par. His father and grandfather had practiced their whole lives, yet they had never been able to cultivate True Qi.

Liu Shitou didn’t have any great ambitions in this life, but after practicing martial arts for so many years, he also yearned to enter the ranks of martial arts.

Now, Gu Yang had done it.

He was genuinely happy for Gu Yang.

◈◈◈

“Brother Gu.”

Suddenly, a middle-aged man came from outside, it was the traveling merchant who had bought things from Gu Yang, “Brother Liu is here too, perfect.”

Gu Yang was a little surprised to see him, “Old Gao, is there something you need from me?”

“There is indeed something I’d like to discuss with you,” Old Gao said with a smile.

“Come in and talk.” Gu Yang invited him into the house.

Old Gao directly stated his intentions, “It’s like this, we plan to go to Wang Family Gully this time, and we’d like to hire you as a guide.”

Upon hearing the name Wang Family Gully, Liu Shitou’s expression changed slightly.

Gu Yang was a little curious, “How do you know that I know the way to Wang Family Gully?”

Wang Family Gully was a marshland several dozen miles away, filled with poisonous fog and miasma all year round, and many poisonous insects, a dangerous place.

Strangely, there was a village nearby, where everyone had the surname Wang, which was the origin of the name Wang Family Gully.

That village was very hostile to outsiders and did not associate with the surrounding villages, it was very strange.

Old Gao laughed, “The sable skin you sold me was the unique purple sable of Wang Family Gully.”

Gu Yang said, “Wang Family Gully is very dangerous.”

Old Gao said, “If Brother Gu is willing to be our guide, we are willing to pay two taels of silver as a reward.”

“In the entire Liu Family Village, only he and I know how to get to Wang Family Gully.” Gu Yang revealed his pearly white teeth, “You have to add more money.”

“How much do you want?”

“Twenty taels.”

“Impossible.” Old Gao almost jumped up.

This was simply robbery.

Gu Yang smiled, and poked his finger on the table, directly piercing through the surface.

A martial artist?!

Old Gao was shocked by this scene, and couldn’t help but gasp, looking at Gu Yang with shock and disbelief.

“This lowly one’s eyes failed to recognize Mount Tai, I have offended you, please forgive me, Your Excellency.”

He bowed deeply to Gu Yang, his tone extremely respectful.

This rapid change in attitude was somewhat unexpected for Gu Yang.

He showed his strength as a martial artist who had entered the ranks, naturally to raise the price. He just didn’t expect to scare Old Gao like this.

It seems that the status of martial artists in this world is not ordinary.

◈◈◈

Gu Yang didn’t speak, and Old Gao’s forehead began to sweat, he quickly pulled off his money bag and presented it to him with both hands.

Gu Yang didn’t take it, but asked, “What does this mean?”

“The market price of the purple sable skin should be thirty taels. Here are twenty taels, there’s still eight taels missing, I will definitely make it up when I get back.” Old Gao felt a lightness in his hand, and his heart also felt lighter.

He never imagined that this young man who was holed up in Liu Family Village would actually be a martial artist.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have dared to offer such a price, even if he was beaten to death.

But, Old Gao felt wronged too. Who would have thought that a dignified martial artist would usually act so humble?

If he had revealed his identity earlier, how would such a thing have happened?

This matter, I’m afraid, is not over yet.

Without a big bloodletting, it won’t be easy to get through.

Thinking of this, Old Gao felt a pang in his heart.

At this moment, Gu Yang finally spoke, “Twenty taels is enough, you need to make a little bit too.”

Old Gao almost couldn’t believe his ears when he heard this, he actually let him go so easily, he said excitedly, “Thank you, Your Excellency is very generous.”

“Alright, as for the guide, you guys go back and discuss it again.” Gu Yang waved his hand, letting him leave.

◈◈◈

After Old Gao left, Liu Shitou also left soon after.

Gu Yang weighed the money bag that Old Gao had left behind, feeling somewhat emotional.

Before, he had worked his butt off for two years and only earned ten taels of silver.

Now, just by showing his strength as a martial artist, others would automatically offer twenty taels of silver, afraid that he wouldn’t accept it.

This contrast is too great.

Gu Yang closed the door, opened the system page, “Recharge.”

【Recharge successful, current balance 24.5. 】

There were a total of twenty-four taels in this bag.

【Do you want to use the Life Simulator? One use consumes 20 gold. 】

It actually increased in price, by a full double.

Gu Yang felt a little heartache, but chose “Yes”.

【At the age of twenty, you were stranded in Liu Family Village and taken in by villager Liu Shitou. 】

【At the age of twenty-two, you became a Ninth-Rank martial artist and decided to venture out with a merchant caravan. In Wang Family Gully, you encountered a hunting team and were ambushed. You were no match for them and fled. 】

【You returned to Liu Family Village and found the village had been massacred. None of the villagers survived, and you vowed revenge. 】

【After leaving the mountains, you arrived at Phoenix City, joined a certain family, and became a guard. After more than ten years of hard training, you failed to break through to the Eighth-Rank. Unable to suppress your desire for revenge, you found one of the culprits from that day. When you made your move, you were killed by his guards. You died at the age of thirty-seven. 】

This time, his starting point was a Ninth-Rank martial artist, and the encounters were completely different from the last time.

The only thing that was the same was that he encountered that hunting team again.

Gu Yang’s expression was a little ugly, “They actually massacred Liu Family Village!”

For the past two years, he had been living in the village and had a deep affection for it.

He clenched his fists, since he knew about it in advance, then he would never let such a tragedy happen.

【Simulation ended, you can retain one of the following. 】

【One, your martial arts realm at the age of thirty-seven. 】

【Two, your martial arts experience at the age of thirty-seven. 】

【Three, your life wisdom at the age of thirty-seven. 】

This time, his realm failed to break through to the Eighth-Rank.

Therefore, Gu Yang chose the second option, martial arts experience.

After making his choice, countless knowledge and experience suddenly appeared in his mind, fist techniques, leg techniques, sword techniques… all kinds of combat skills.

These were all gained from more than ten years of hard training in this life simulation.

Now, he could be considered a true Ninth-Rank martial artist, with both realm and corresponding strength.
