For Xiao Feng, the Maoshun Taoist techniques practiced by Uncle Jiu, though somewhat mediocre, still provided him with valuable new knowledge—better than nothing at all.
After sorting through his memories of cultivating these Taoist arts, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the remaining simulation rewards.
Aside from [Uncle Jiu's Lifelong Cultivation], which he stored in his system space, the rest of the simulation rewards were thrown into his miscellaneous warehouse.
"Begin Simulation!"
Seeing that he had two simulation attempts left, Xiao Feng had no intention of saving them. He immediately began his 35th simulation.
"Ding! Randomly selecting simulation world…"
The text on the selection screen rapidly shuffled before finally displaying four characters—Pacific Rim!
"Ding! Please select the simulation mode!"
[Text Projection Simulation (No Cost)]
[Body Projection Simulation (Consumes 20 Billion Merit Points)]
"Choose Text Projection Simulation!"
Being seriously "lacking in merit," Xiao Feng chose the free option without hesitation.
"Ding! Text Projection Simulation begins!"
[Day 1: You realize that you've somehow traveled to another world—specifically, you find yourself in Hong Kong. Just as you are feeling a mix of anxiety and excitement, an emergency news broadcast interrupts a mall's video screen, immediately drawing your attention.
As you watch a massive Jaeger named Striker Eureka battling a towering Kaiju, it suddenly dawns on you—you've entered the world of Pacific Rim.]
[Day 2: You understand the sheer danger of this world. However, as an ordinary civilian, you have no way of interfering in battles between Jaegers and Kaiju.
Given the circumstances, survival comes first—you need to figure out how to fill your stomach.]
[Day 3: You manage to get a job as a waiter at a Chinese restaurant, albeit at half the standard salary.]
[Day 17: While you're working as usual, a towering Category IV Kaiju, Knifehead, suddenly breaches Hong Kong's residential district. The restaurant you work at is reduced to rubble in an instant.
In your desperate attempt to flee, you are accidentally crushed into paste by the Kaiju's foot.]
[You died!]
[Simulation Ends]
"Ding! Drawing simulation rewards. Please purchase any desired rewards before a random one is selected."
Available rewards:
Kaiju (Knifehead) x1 – 50,000 Merit Points
Striker Eureka Jaeger x1 – 30,000 Merit Points
Precursor's Kaiju Cloning Expertise – 1,000,000 Merit Points
Luxury Supercar x1 – 20 Merit Points
Baby Stroller x1 – 1 Merit Point
Red Balloon x1 – 1 Merit Point
Kaiju (Bladehead) x1 – 20,000 Merit Points
40-Meter Alloy Greatsword x1 – 1,000 Merit Points
Smartphone x1 – 1 Merit Point
Blue Bikini Set x1 – 1 Merit Point
Without hesitation, Xiao Feng spent over 100,000 Merit Points to purchase all the cheaper simulation rewards, then used his free lottery draw to obtain the most expensive reward—Precursor's Kaiju Cloning Expertise.
Frankly, with his current power, Kaiju were no longer a threat.
Based on the original Pacific Rim film, Kaiju were roughly equivalent to Tier 5 to Tier 6 magical beasts—Xiao Feng could literally kill them with a fart.
However, he was quite interested in the cloning technology mastered by the alien Precursors. Perhaps he could apply this cloning knowledge to resurrect even stronger magical beasts, such as Ancient Celestial Phoenixes or Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Pythons.
"Use!"
With a single thought, Xiao Feng activated the skill orb representing [Precursor's Kaiju Cloning Expertise]. It immediately transformed into a white light and fused into his body.
A flood of memories regarding the Precursors' Kaiju research and cloning techniques exploded into his mind like a tsunami.
Though the information was complex, Xiao Feng's soul strength was equivalent to a Tier 9 alchemist's, allowing him to process everything in less than three minutes.
He had to admit, the Precursors' cloning technology was already incredibly advanced.
Not only could they clone Kaiju, but they could also enhance them via gene modifications, granting them unique combat adaptations.
In the original film, the Kaiju invasion progressively evolved stronger monsters, even developing electromagnetic pulse (EMP) abilities to counter Jaegers—all due to genetic modifications by the Precursors.
Had it not been for the fact that Kaiju were disposable cannon fodder—their true purpose being to contaminate Earth and make it habitable for the Precursors—humanity would have lost long ago.
After absorbing this newfound knowledge, Xiao Feng turned to the remaining simulation rewards.
The two Kaiju were released into the Void Realm, left to roam freely.
The Striker Eureka Jaeger, however, was transformed into a Transformer using the AllSpark.
As for the miscellaneous rewards? They were all tossed into the warehouse.
With everything sorted, he checked his status panel before preparing for the next simulation attempt
"Begin Simulation!"
Seeing that he had one final simulation attempt left, he wasted no time and started his 37th simulation.
"Ding! Randomly selecting simulation world…"
Under Xiao Feng's eager gaze, the text on the selection screen rapidly changed before finally displaying bold characters—
Terror Infinity!
"Ding! Please select simulation mode!"
[Text Projection Simulation (No Cost)]
[Body Projection Simulation (Consumes 20 Billion Merit Points)]
"Terror Infinity? Hell yeah!"
Xiao Feng froze for a moment, then cheered internally.
After all, "Terror Infinity" was the father of all "infinite flow" novels, and its world-building involved the entire multiverse.
If he was lucky enough, he might even obtain treasures like Pangu's Axe or a Saint's Attainable.
Unfortunately, his Merit Points weren't enough to choose Body Projection Simulation—he had to settle for Text Projection Simulation.
"Ding! Text Projection Simulation begins!"
[Day 1: Cold. Trembling. As you groggily wake from unconsciousness, a chilling voice speaks:
"Not bad. Among this batch, you're the most promising one."]
