“Sir, would you like some dragon meat?”
“No thanks, Yingxue, you go ahead and eat it.”
In the midst of summer, the courtyard was serene.
It felt as if even the air was burning.
Amidst the swaying sea of trees, Xu Xi sat resting on a thick tree root, leaning against a sturdy branch, smiling as he watched Wu Yingxue grilling the dragon meat.
The scorching sand, the flying dust, the spattering sparks.
Ordinary things became meaningful with each exclamation.
Unlike the witch’s cooking, which improved over time, the princess’s culinary skills remained terrible.
The grilled dragon meat turned out completely charred, looking like it would shorten one’s lifespan if eaten.
Thus.
Xu Xi politely declined Wu Yingxue’s offer.
“Ah, alright then…”, the girl seemed disappointed, devouring the dragon meat in a few bites, then starting to grill a new piece.
This time, her movements were more meticulous, careful.
Her eyes focused on the dancing flames.
Serious and concentrated.
The flickering orange-red hue surprisingly suited her well.
The sky was clear, the sunlight dazzling, the scorching rays passing through the brick and tile railings, mostly blocked by the trees and flowers, creating a scattered and swaying play of light and shadow.
“Such a life is truly wonderful…”
In this summer-exclusive tranquility.
Xu Xi sat quietly on a rattan chair, his head resting on the back.
A slight smile on his lips, watching Wu Yingxue busy with the grilling, then slightly turning left to glance at Cressa tending to the Dragon Blood Grass.
Xu Moli wasn’t home.
Seems she went off to sever worlds again.
Xu Xi had advised his sister to rest more at home, but she always agreed verbally, then hurried off to the chaos to chop worlds.
However, Xu Xi could still sense his sister’s presence.
“Tap—”
“Tap—”
Very faint.
There were soft collision sounds coming from the direction of Xu Xi’s bedroom.
Without needing to see, after experiencing it countless times, Xu Xi could now judge the battle situation inside the display cabinet just by those tiny sounds.
“Huh, Mo Li is quite aggressive today, the sugar jar firmly holds the top spot.”
“But Yingxue isn’t bad either.”
“Could it be… that because of this distraction, the child’s dragon meat got burnt?”
Xu Xi speculated, looking at the princess’s busy back, deep in thought.
The situation in the display cabinet was a bit chaotic.
Gradually deviating from Xu Xi’s initial commemorative idea.
But, Xu Xi didn’t dislike it.
The reason he collected the sugar jar, the magic staff, and the paper flower was to commemorate those he could no longer see.
Now that they’re back, commemoration became secondary.
“Items are important, memories are important, but the most important are the people themselves.”
Xu Xi chuckled.
Not interfering with the invisible competition in the display cabinet.
This was fine, this peaceful and serene life was the most precious thing.
“After becoming a god, the leap in life essence has enhanced me comprehensively, not only improving my magical abilities, allowing me to wield laws at will.”
“Even the cultivation power and enlightenment of the immortal path.”
“And the qi and blood, the internal world circulation of the martial path.”
“All have accelerated far beyond the normal rate.”
“Combined with the amplification of teardrops and starlight… perhaps, it won’t be long before I ascend to immortality, or transcend through the martial path.”
The slightly noisy chirping of cicadas came from the branches.
The dense layers of leaves obscured the tiny insects, Xu Xi looked up, silently calculating the changes in his own strength.
As a god, he had already reached a minor graduation level on the path of magic.
Looking down from a high place, it was naturally easy and carefree.
The perspective and comprehension of a deity.
Allowed the immortal and martial paths to rapidly advance as well.
It could be said, Xu Xi’s strength was in a period of rapid growth, just needing the normal passage of time to become a path-completer integrating the three major systems.
“Then, what should I simulate next…”
Summoning the simulator panel only he could see.
Xu Xi fell into deep thought.
“In the past, I simulated to gain powerful strength, to protect myself in the real world.”
“Now that I’ve become a god, the three paths of essence, energy, and spirit each have their own cultivation systems.”
“Immortal cultivation, magic, martial arts.”
“These three paths, overlapping and combining, almost encompass the advantages of all extraordinary systems.”
“Now, I lack nothing.”
Xu Xi’s eyes slightly closed.
Sensing the flow of energy within his body, with the strongest magical divine core as the main, the cultivation power and martial qi and blood surged and intertwined, sketching a mysterious posture.
Xu Xi no longer lacked strength.
The empowerment of the three major systems, plus the protection of the three soft meals, now he was literally a small invincible.
At least on Earth.
Rather than continuing to gain new extraordinary powers in simulations.
Xu Xi now had another thing he was more curious about, that was the simulator itself, its essence and composition, in what way did it exist.
“Beautiful Life Simulator…”
Xu Xi pondered: “This name, at first glance, doesn’t belong to the traditional cultivation world, could it be a product from the sci-fi world?”
This speculation had some possibility.
At least compared to cultivation, fantasy, and the like.
The style of the simulator clearly had some technological flair.
“Since that’s the case, this time I’ll try a simulation related to the sci-fi side.”
“If I remember correctly, the sci-fi side’s systems are extremely complex, there’s sci-fi martial arts galaxy, the calamity of intelligent machines, and even those who manipulate the physical universe.”
“I hope this simulation can be of help to me.”
“If I find the essence of the simulator, that would naturally be the best outcome, even if I don’t, there’s no loss for me.”
“Moreover, the sci-fi side has a unique understanding of dissecting the world, which could be of some use to me.”
“Simulator, charge!!!”
Xu Xi’s mind moved, a large number of sci-fi side items poured out from the spatial ring.
Then quickly absorbed by the simulator.
On the simulator panel, continuously, dense text frequently refreshed.
[Ding—]
[Sci-fi side anchor medium loading: +1%, +1%, +1%, +1%…]
Moments later.
The simulator’s loading progress bar reached 100%.
Full, it emitted a bright white light, reminding Xu Xi to start the simulation.
[Sci-fi side anchor medium loading complete]
[Congratulations host for obtaining simulation times, would you like to start the simulation, begin a beautiful simulated life?]
[Current available simulation times: 1]
The simulator’s prompt sounded.
Without hesitation, Xu Xi directly confirmed, starting the fourth life simulation.
[Simulation starting…]
[Worldline simulation in progress…]
[Locking on traversable world, analyzing as sci-fi side world]
[Trait generation in progress, trait generation complete, please host select three traits as the character talents for this simulated life]
