[In the current era, romance between humans and demons has long become a popular cultural trend. Even the difference in lifespan is no longer an insurmountable obstacle. If you desire to continue your bond with your beloved in the next life, you are welcome to visit Tushan to process the Reincarnation Reunion package. During the Qixi Festival every year, there is even a half-price offer!]
Lying on the sofa in his rented apartment, Liu Chang'an turned off an old-fashioned television set.
He shook his head and gave a bitter smile: "It's that annoying Tushan commercial again. Is it ever going to end?"
As a Transmigrator, he had been in this world of Fox Spirit Matchmaker for exactly six years.
It was the peak of Chinese animation that once swept the entire internet with two hundred million bullet comments.
Although it has gradually declined today...
It left a deep impression on many people's childhoods.
Ten thousand swords piercing the heart without regret, a smile exchanged while dismissing the King Power (Wangquan).
Or perhaps the agreement at the Hui River Bamboo Pavilion on the seventh day of the seventh month.
Or the young, untimely death of Wangquan Wumu?
One memory after another left unfulfilled in his heart...
Initially, he thought that with the advantage of a Transmigrator who knew the plot, he could easily reach the pinnacle of life.
But what was the reality?
He was a wage worker in his last life, and he remains a wage worker in this life.
The current timeline.
It is no longer the ancient setting of human-demon slaughter and endless disputes, but has entered a peaceful and stable modernized society.
In a world where resources in all walks of life are monopolized by major families, it is harder for an ordinary person to make a name for himself than to reach the heavens.
Liu Chang'an's initial burst of passion.
It slowly cooled down as time passed.
He gradually came to terms with himself.
A waste today, a waste for life. Even with transmigration, he was still essentially a waste.
His self-awareness was clear.
He remembered when he first transmigrated, he did think about attaching himself to the Tushan powerhouse.
But his ideals were too plump, and the reality was too skinny.
An ordinary person like him, an outsider of unknown origin, did not even have the qualifications to enter Tushan.
When he first went to the Tushan gate, he couldn't even pass the first security check and was thrown out by the guards.
At that time, he was new to the place, full of the youthful hubris that Transmigrators were omnipotent.
And so.
Liu Chang'an angrily left behind the promise of "thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west," and turned to leave.
Later, he thought of Bai Yuechu, the key character of the plot, the reincarnation of Dongfang Yuechu, and Tushan's future son-in-law.
This character occupies a very important position in the Fox Spirit world.
If he could get acquainted with the other party before the plot began, it might not be a sunny road to success.
But the problem was that the world is vast and the population is great. To find one specific person?
It was easier said than done.
Moreover, Bai Yuechu's whereabouts seemed to be deliberately protected and hidden, making him inaccessible to an ordinary person like Liu Chang'an.
Failure after failure.
He still didn't give up and decided to enter the online fiction world to become a plagiarism author.
Jade Dynasty, Battle Through the Heavens, Shrouding the Heavens, Perfect World, The Sword of Coming...
He sat in front of the computer, trying to recall those classic works that were once popular.
But after an entire night passed, he clearly remembered many classic plots, yet he racked his brains.
In the end, he couldn't even write a single complete sentence.
However much hardship he endured.
Time finally smoothed away his edges...
Liu Chang'an accepted reality.
He simply returned to his old profession.
Clad in a yellow uniform, daring to change the face of the world.
Every day, he rode his little electric scooter, shuttling between skyscrapers, relying on his meager monthly income, just coasting along, waiting to die.
Until this day.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the weather was nice.
On the street.
Just as he was finishing his last delivery of the day.
A large truck aggressively surged straight towards him, like a Grim Reaper coming to claim his soul.
"What's going on, again?!"
This familiar scene nearly made Liu Chang'an break down.
This damned large truck, is it never going to stop?
Hitting people everywhere?
Just when he thought he was about to be hit and killed again, at that crucial moment.
A miracle occurred.
In an instant, the world seemed to freeze.
The entire world fell silent, a deathly silence, complete stillness.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host."
"Awakening the [Affix/Descriptor Simulator]!"
As a voice suddenly sounded by his ear, Liu Chang'an's heart trembled.
A System?
A Cheat! (Golden Finger)
As an old bookworm, he was all too familiar with this.
The essential cheat for a Transmigrator.
An existence that can help the Host defy fate and change destiny.
Almost without hesitation, Liu Chang'an shouted inwardly: "Awesome!"
Three years and three more years.
He finally got his cheat, his only chance to defy fate and change his destiny.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately opened the system.
Subsequently, a status panel appeared out of thin air in front of Liu Chang'an.
[Cheat: Affix Simulator]
[Host: Liu Chang'an]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 21 years old]
[Simulation Count: 0]
...
At this moment, Liu Chang'an had calmed down.
If it weren't for everything in front of him being clearly visible, he would definitely think that this was just a delivery guy's dying hallucination.
Or, maybe he played too much last night...
In less than half a minute.
He figured out the function of this cheat.
The Affix Simulator.
As the name implies.
This cheat.
Allows the Host to perform repeated simulations to defy fate and change destiny.
However, once the Host dies during a simulation, it will immediately stop.
To better survive and perform,
Before each simulation, the Host can draw Affixes from the myriad worlds.
Talents!
Treasures!
Bloodlines!
Constitutions!
Everything in the myriad worlds is available.
After the simulation ends, he can receive feedback based on the rating of the simulated life.
The higher the final simulation rating, the greater the benefits and rewards he will receive.
"If I keep simulating in this world, won't I become invincible?"
Liu Chang'an finally realized the terrifying nature of this simulator.
Others only have one chance.
But he has countless chances to start over, to defy fate and change destiny.
Almost without thinking.
He started his first simulation.
The first step.
Draw the Talent Affixes.
"Congratulations, Host!"
"The first simulation begins!"
"For this simulation, the Host can draw five Affixes from the myriad worlds and bind three out of the five."
Liu Chang'an nodded slightly: "Draw!"
Immediately, the system's voice sounded: "Affix drawing successful!"
They are as follows:
[Sunflower Manual (Blue): To practice this divine skill, you must first castrate yourself. This is a divine skill that, once practiced, makes your movements appear as swift as a ghost.]
[Curse of Loneliness (Gray): No family, no friends. Abandoned by fate, you are destined to live out your life in solitude.]
[Small Green Bottle (Gold): Originally called the Sky-Palming Bottle, it is the cheat of protagonist Han Li in the Mortal's Journey Plane. Absorbs moonlight to produce a mysterious liquid that can ripen spirit herbs.]
[Utterly Ordinary (Blue): The utterly ordinary you have no presence even when standing in a crowd and will be quickly forgotten.]
[Innately Divine Strength (Purple): You have no martial arts skills, only naturally born divine strength.]
The Affixes are bizarre and varied.
In general, the quality levels are classified from bottom to top: Gray, White, Blue, Purple, Gold...
Aside from the Gold, which has the best effect, and one Purple, Liu Chang'an felt his luck was already quite good.
After a moment of thought, he quickly had his answer: "I choose Small Green Bottle, Utterly Ordinary, and Innately Divine Strength."
As his words fell.
Liu Chang'an's figure gradually became blurred in the world, and finally disappeared in an instant.
When he vanished.
The entire world began to return to normal operation.
The driver of the large truck was already pale as ash, subconsciously thinking he had just hit and killed someone.
But the moment he slammed on the brakes.
The person in front of him had strangely vanished.
The car was still fine, the man still alive, yet the driver was utterly shocked: "Holy sh*t, where did that person go?!"
Of course.
Liu Chang'an was unaware of this.
His vision went black, and after a dizzying spin, he didn't know how much time had passed.
At the same time.
In the ancient timeline of Fox Spirit Matchmaker.
Swoosh...
A comet rapidly streaked across.
Leaving a trail of light in the night sky.
It seemed to symbolize the curtain rising on a new legend.
