My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 24

Ch 24: Top-Tier Prominent Family

An hour later, several people carried in two large boxes.

Wei Hao, sweating profusely, said, “Time was too tight, I really couldn’t gather that much ready silver. Here are eight thousand taels, and four thousand taels in silver notes. It’s all I have left…”

“Good.”

Gu Yang didn’t make things difficult for him. He took the silver notes, picked up the two large boxes, and left.

Tianshui City is a small city, and the ways to make money are controlled by various forces. Wei Hao is a martial artist, and his own expenses are also high. This money is enough to hurt him to the bone. He would have to sell a lot of things to gather it.

Having squeezed out such a large sum of money, he also vented some anger, and his killing intent faded.

No matter what, Wei Hao’s daughter was his wife in the simulated life, so there was some affection between them.

That saber strike just now should leave a shadow in Wei Hao’s heart. From now on, his martial path will be cut off, and it will be difficult for him to advance any further.

This can be considered as personally killing his martial arts life, and the punishment is enough.

Gu Yang swaggered through the city carrying two large wooden boxes, attracting everyone’s attention, but no one dared to approach, all keeping their distance.

Being able to carry two such large boxes must mean he is a martial artist, and ordinary people naturally keep their distance out of respect.

He returned to the inn and went upstairs. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he opened the system and chose to recharge.

【Recharge successful, current balance 8217.4.】

Gu Yang felt particularly at ease when he saw this balance. More than eight thousand taels is enough for eight simulations. If he’s lucky, he might be able to break through to the fifth-rank with this.

By then, he would have full confidence in dealing with the assassins sent by the Liu family.

He returned to his room, put the two empty boxes in a corner, and sat down in front of the bed. Before he could speak, Su Qingzhi had already brought over a basin of hot water and handed him a towel.

So quickly changed roles?

Gu Yang was a little surprised and had to sigh, people’s adaptability is really amazing.

Last night, she was still putting on the airs of a young miss, and now, she would actually take the initiative to bring him water.

He took out the jade hairpin and put it back on her head, saying, “Returning it to its rightful owner.”

Both Su Qingzhi and the other woman were very curious about how he got two boxes back, but neither of them asked.

After Gu Yang washed his face, he said, “I’m going to practice my cultivation.”

Su Qingzhi and the other woman went out.

◈◈◈

【Do you want to use the Life Simulator? Use once, consumes 1000 gold.】

“Yes.”

【At twenty-two years old, you are already a sixth-rank martial artist. After leaving Liu Family Village, you saved Su Qingzhi in Wang Family Gully. The next day, the Liu family’s people caught up, and you killed them all.】

【Ten days later, you arrived at Tianshui City. You schemed to extort Wei Hao, obtaining twelve thousand taels.】

【Your scene of defeating Wei Hao with one saber was seen by Lin Zirui of the Lin Family. That night, he came to the inn, wanting to recruit you into the Lin Family, but you refused.】

【Five days later, you encountered a swordsman on the road who challenged you. After three moves, you were killed on the spot, and then he left. You died at the age of twenty-two.】

Gu Yang was stunned after reading it.

This time, he actually died even faster than the last simulation.

Where did this swordsman come from?

He originally thought that after reaching the sixth-rank, he would have some self-preservation ability. Who knew that he would still be randomly killed.

Last time, it was someone sent by the Liu family.

Who sent this swordsman this time?

“Could it be that Lin Zirui?”

Gu Yang thought that the only variable in this simulation was that Lin Zirui of the Lin family wanted to recruit him, but he refused.

The Lin family, he had encountered in several simulations, is a top-tier prominent family in Jiang Prefecture.

“D*mn it, these prominent family scions, are they all poisonous? If you refuse their recruitment, they’ll kill you?”

He was simply trembling with anger. This world is too unfriendly to martial artists like him from humble backgrounds. If you don’t sell your life to a prominent family, they will get rid of you…

Wait, that’s not right. In the previous simulations, he had never encountered such a thing.

Gu Yang thought carefully. It wasn’t that he had never refused other people’s recruitment before, but he had never been killed for it.

◈◈◈

“So, it’s that Lin Zirui who has a particularly narrow mind.”

He carefully recalled that when he defeated Wei Hao with one saber at the pawn shop, there were indeed two people at the door, one old and one young, both with extraordinary bearing.

The younger one should be Lin Zirui.

However, the two left quickly. At the time, he didn’t take it to heart.

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

【One, martial arts realm at twenty-two years old.】

【Two, martial arts experience at twenty-two years old.】

【Three, life wisdom at twenty-two years old.】

Gu Yang thought for a while and chose the third option this time.

Soon, a memory appeared in his mind, the scene when Lin Zirui came to recruit him, and the scene when he was killed by that swordsman.

“Looks pretty normal.”

From this memory, this Lin Zirui still had the demeanor of a prominent family scion. He didn’t get angry when he was rejected, just a little regretful, and then he left.

No one could tell that this guy already had the intention to kill.

“Stay away from these prominent family scions, because you don’t know if you’ll run into a crazy person.”

This was the realization he had at the moment of his death in this simulated life.

◈◈◈

This world is really too dangerous.

Gu Yang once again sighed like this. Even with his sixth-rank strength, he could be killed for something very small.

He is still too weak.

He felt a great sense of crisis in his heart, and he had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

However, Gu Yang was not in a hurry to start the second simulation. Every simulation was very precious, and he couldn’t waste it casually.

“Qingzhi.”

He called Su Qingzhi over and asked, “Do you know about the Lin family?”

Su Qingzhi was slightly startled, “Which Lin family?”

“Besides that Lin family, which other Lin family is there?”

Although Su Qingzhi didn’t understand why he suddenly asked this, she still explained to him, “The Lin family is the top-tier prominent family in Jiang Prefecture, a branch of the Lin family, one of the Ten Great Families Under Heaven. Its family head is a first-rank expert, ranked fifteenth on the First-Rank List…”

She told him everything she knew about the Lin family.

The Lin family is the top prominent family in Jiang Prefecture. Countless people rely on them for survival. Studying the Lin family’s figures is a mandatory course for all major and minor forces within Jiang Prefecture.

Gu Yang listened carefully, and finally heard Lin Zirui’s name. He was a direct descendant of the Lin family, the current family head’s grandson. He had been exceptionally talented since childhood and received personal instruction from the family head.

This meant that Lin Zirui would definitely become one of the core figures of the Lin family in the future.

As for his specific cultivation level, it was not something Su Qingzhi would know.

After listening, Gu Yang felt quite troubled.

This Lin family was undoubtedly a behemoth, several levels stronger than the Liu family. Just first-rank experts alone, there were at least two, and there were several second-rank experts.

This was the top-tier prominent family that dominated a prefecture.

How should he deal with this Lin Zirui?
