My Life Can Be Simulated Infinitely – Chapter 40

Ch 40: Can the Body Endure It?

Gu Yang had already confirmed that the treasure map was real, and the treasures inside were still there. However, without the strength of the Third-Rank, it was simply impossible to get past Cao Yiyi’s hurdle.

Third-Rank…

Now there are only twelve simulation opportunities left, it would be good enough to reach Fourth-Rank.

“It’s okay, there’s still time.”

He consoled himself like this.

In the previous simulation, Cao Yiyi waited there for a full few months, obviously, waiting for him to take the bait.

With a few months, as long as he can get enough money, breaking through to the Third-Rank is not a problem.

You have to know, less than a month ago, he was just an ordinary person.

Now, he is already at the Fifth-Rank, with such speed, wouldn’t that scare a whole group of people to death if it was said out loud?

Continue.

【At twenty-two years old, you take Ling Ling and head to Yuzhou City. On the way, you save Jiao Shumo and obtain a treasure map. However, you are spotted by Cao Yiyi, and a conflict breaks out.】

【After returning to Ping Prefecture City, you focus on cultivation.】

【Two years later, you forcibly take Su Qingzhi away from the Qingxuan Sect, and together with Ling Ling, you hide in the Lian Mountain Range, living a secluded life.】

【Another three years pass. One night, a monster suddenly appears and attacks you. Su Qingzhi dies on the spot. Even with you and Ling Ling joining forces, you are no match for the monster, and are killed one after another. You die at the age of twenty-seven.】

It’s that monster again!

Gu Yang frowned as he saw the ending of this simulated life.

That monster should be the one in the marsh behind Wang Family Gully, he doesn’t know what it is. He has already died at the hands of this thing several times.

However, compared to staying in Ping Prefecture, he lived two more years.

That means two more years of cultivation.

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

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

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

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

“I choose one.”

◈◈◈

“It’s happening again!”

Ling Ling in the room once again felt the true qi in Gu Yang’s body surge, the overflowing aura making her clearly aware of it.

Although she couldn’t judge exactly how much his cultivation had increased, this abnormal phenomenon had occurred three times in a row. It had changed her from being shocked at the beginning to being terrified.

She knew that something unusual must have happened to Gu Yang.

With her knowledge, she really couldn’t find an explanation for such a thing.

Perhaps, she could only ask Second Grandfather.

Just as Ling Ling was thinking, after a moment, she once again felt Gu Yang’s aura surge, and she subconsciously swallowed.

Her heart couldn’t help but rise, “If this continues, can his body endure it?”

◈◈◈

Gu Yang conducted another simulation. This time, he chose a different place to live in seclusion, a small town next to Tianshui City.

But he still died at the age of twenty-seven, the cause of death was that Ling Ling’s enemies had come looking for them.

This time, after retaining the martial arts realm at twenty-seven years old, the true qi in his body also reached a limit, reaching the peak of the Fifth-Rank.

Next, it was to break through the limit and enter the Fourth-Rank Realm.

This was also the most grueling part.

Gu Yang decided to stop here for today.

Using the simulation five times in one night was still quite mentally draining. He decided to rest first and digest these gains properly.

Ling Ling in the room saw that he had finally calmed down, but she no longer felt sleepy. She kept thinking about one question, what exactly had happened to him?

◈◈◈

When Gu Yang woke up the next morning, he was surprised to find that Ling Ling’s gaze towards him was a little different.

◈◈◈

Although she usually didn’t show it obviously, she would still inadvertently reveal a trace of disdain. That was the attitude of a martial artist facing someone whose strength was inferior to her own.

But now, he could clearly feel that her gaze had become solemn.

Gu Yang knew that she must have discovered the fact that his strength had skyrocketed.

This could not be hidden.

Ling Ling was not like Su Qingzhi and the others. Her strength was still above his, and it was easy for her to discover the anomaly.

Gu Yang pretended not to know, and as usual, after breakfast, he set off with her.

In the simulated life, he had lived and died with Ling Ling so many times, and most of the time, she had never abandoned him.

He still had this much trust.

On the road, Gu Yang suddenly asked a question, “When we get to Ping Prefecture City, what are some ways to make money?”

Ling Ling casually replied, “Find a trading company. As long as you are willing to protect them, they will naturally be willing to offer silver.”

“That would earn at most one or two thousand taels a year, right? Is there no way to earn more money?”

“How much do you want?”

“The more the better.”

“What are you going to do with so much money? Do you know that money is the most useless thing in this world?”

To me, silver is the most useful thing.

Gu Yang didn’t say the last sentence out loud, this was his biggest secret.

He continued to ponder.

As the saying goes, a person can’t get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can’t get fat without night grass.

If he wanted to get rich quickly, he could only get unexpected wealth. That was how it was with Su Qingzhi’s deal before, and it’s the same with the treasure map now.

Otherwise, like in Tianshui City, finding a dishonest merchant and extorting them would also be a good choice, and the risk wasn’t high.

Ling Ling suddenly said, “Actually, if you can win the favor of that Cao Yiyi, even if you want mountains of gold and seas of silver, it wouldn’t be difficult.”

“That crazy person? I’d rather not.”

Gu Yang felt that he hadn’t fallen to that level yet.

This kind of woman who was full of affection one second and then pulled out a knife to stab your heart the next, it was better to stay far away from her.

He decided not to beat around the bush and directly brought it up, “Do you have any money? Could you lend me one hundred thousand taels, and I’ll pay you back one hundred and fifty thousand after a year.”

Ling Ling was stunned, not expecting him to make such a strange request. She shook her head and said, “I only have seventeen taels and three coins of silver on me, and that was you who gave it to me.”

Gu Yang heard that her words didn’t sound like an excuse, so he could only give up on this idea.

“Otherwise, should I borrow some from the Qingxuan Sect?”

Then, he turned his attention to the Qingxuan Sect.

The Qingxuan Sect was also a considerable force in Ping Prefecture City, they should be able to come up with tens of thousands of taels.

◈◈◈

That night, Gu Yang and the others returned to Ping Prefecture City, saving a full day compared to when they went.

His strength had improved significantly, so his speed was naturally much faster.

Zhang Xiaohai rented a courtyard, cleaned it inside and out, and purchased all the necessary items, so they could move in directly.

For the past two years since transmigrating here, he had been living in a thatched house, with very poor conditions. Now, he had finally moved into a good house.

Gu Yang first took a bath, changed into a new set of clothes, and then returned to his room, sitting cross-legged on the bed.

【Do you want to use the Life Simulator? Using it once consumes 2000 gold.】

“Yes.”
