In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Chapter 33 Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate, Ascending to Heaven in One Step!
"Lu Yuan, what are your plans for the future?"

"With your talent, you're sure to get a place to stay in the inner city."

The principal said enviously.

He worked hard his whole life, saving every penny he could.

All they wanted was for their family to obtain permanent residency in the inner city.

Yet Lu Yuan, having just graduated, was able to easily obtain a spot in the inner city.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
at the same time.

The principal was also very curious about what Lu Yuan's talent was.

But he didn't ask any questions.

After all, this is a matter of personal privacy, and asking about it rashly will only cause Lu Yuan's dissatisfaction.

"I plan to stay in the outer city."

Lu Yuan shook his head, showing little interest in the inner city.

The inner city is nice, though.

However, all the benefits and resources have already been divided up by the major powers.

An ordinary simulator like him with no background.

Unless you join one of those simulated families and let them run wild.

Otherwise, it would be almost impossible for him to make a name for himself in the inner city on his own.

The outer city was dangerous.

But with Lu Yuan's current strength, he is more than capable of dealing with most of the strange creatures.

not to mention.

He also possesses a Tier 1 Lord core and is surrounded by valuable treasures and many secrets, making it even more impossible for him to join any other faction.

"You want to stay?"

The principal was somewhat taken aback, and once again earnestly offered his advice.

"Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, though that's the saying."

"But the outer city has been getting worse and worse in recent years, becoming more and more dangerous. Any simulator with a bit of ability is desperately trying to get into the inner city."

"Lu Yuan, you're still young, you should think this through carefully."

"Principal, I've thought it through."

Lu Yuan remained unmoved.

Seeing this, the principal said nothing more.

"After graduation, the Empire will take back the free rental housing provided to all students."

"Lu Yuan, you haven't chosen a place to stay yet, have you?"

"As the most outstanding graduate of this year, this is a small token of appreciation from the school. We hope you will accept it."

While talking.

The principal handed a key to Lu Yuan.

This villa is located in the safest downtown area of ​​District 6.

Although the area is a bit small, its location is a great advantage.

In the city center, where every inch of land is precious, it's worth at least tens of millions!

The principal's actions upon seeing him.

Lu Yuan felt quite emotional.

Ordinary people work themselves to the bone, living in cramped and dilapidated low-rent housing, and are always afraid that one day they will be unable to pay the rent and will be evicted.

But Lu Yuan had just finished the simulation and hadn't done anything.

The principal gifted him a large penthouse apartment, and he was even afraid the principal wouldn't accept it!

That's the benefit of having strength.

Lu Yuan did not refuse and accepted the key directly.

After all, No. 1 Middle School in District 6 is my alma mater.

In the future, I will help whenever I can, as long as it is within my capabilities.

After registration is complete.

Lu Yuan left the school administration office amidst a warm farewell from all the teachers.

Watching Lu Yuan's departing figure, and the obsequious and respectful smiles on the faces of the principal and the teachers.

The other students who came to register were immediately thrown into chaos.

"If I'm not mistaken, that person just now should be Lu Yuan, right?"

"Judging from the way the principal and the others are acting, it's like they're receiving VIPs! Even if the police came, they wouldn't have this kind of grand reception!"

"Go ask the homeroom teacher; there's definitely something we don't know about this!"

Some quick-thinking students immediately ran off to find out what was going on.

But when they learned the whole story, everyone was stunned.

Especially the words "S-level rating".

It was like a bombshell, creating a huge uproar in the hearts of all the students.

Some people get carried away with their success after receiving only a B grade, and start acting like they don't care about anyone else.

What does an S-level rating mean?
Many people experience a mental breakdown, leaving their minds blank.

Because this was beyond their comprehension.

As for the students in the same class as Lu Yuan...

I was so shocked that my scalp tingled, and I found it hard to accept this fact.

Although Lu Yuan had good grades, he was not a native of Jiangcheng; he was a refugee who had fled from Linhai City eight years ago.

In addition, Lu Yuan has a somewhat aloof personality and is used to being alone, so he rarely has any friends.

Many of the students in the class are locals from Jiangcheng.

There is a natural aversion to foreign refugees.

therefore.

For the past three years of high school, Lu Yuan had been subtly isolated from his small circle. But what has happened now?
Overnight.

This poor boy living in the slums suddenly became a powerful figure who was high above them and needed to look up to them.
This stark contrast left all of Lu Yuan's classmates with mixed feelings.

They felt jealousy, envy, amazement, and resentment...

But that's precisely the charm of simulation.

What does it mean to defy fate and change one's destiny?

This is defying fate and changing one's destiny!

In the morning he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening he ascended to the Hall of the Son of Heaven.

Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, one can ascend to heaven in a single step!
……

Jiangcheng, District 6.

As night fell, the temperature plummeted.

As the last glimmer of light faded into the horizon.

A darkness as thick as ink surged toward this small border town like a tidal wave.

A bone-chilling coldness pierced straight to the top of the head!

It's currently graduation season in the height of summer.

Ordinary people can still wear short sleeves during the day.

But even wearing a thick down jacket, I was still shivering from the cold at night.

Especially in complete darkness.

A faint sobbing sound could be heard.

It sounded like a ghost howling mournfully, or like evil spirits whispering in your ear, with a hint of bewitching.

This persistent whisper resonated clearly in the minds of all ordinary people.

Day after day, year after year.

Never-ending.

Tormented by both the chill and the eerie sounds.

Ordinary people either freeze to death on the street or go insane and die.

It's already a miracle to live to forty.

"Master, are you going out?"

Looking at the pitch-black night outside, Wuxin asked with concern.

Although she has never lived in the main world.

But even just by intuition, one can sense the eeriness of this darkness.

"I'm going to get something. It's dangerous outside at night. You stay home and don't wander around."

Lu Yuan gave an order, then pushed open the door and went out.

With a light touch of his toes, he soared into the air like a falcon and landed steadily on the rooftop hundreds of meters high.

Look around.

Most of the city was shrouded in darkness.

This darkness was extremely eerie, as if it could devour all light.

Even military-grade special lighting cannot penetrate it.

In the pitch-black darkness.

Only in the centers of each jurisdiction, there are still scattered lights.

Sparsely scattered, like fireflies strewn across the land.

That is the life force emitted by the simulated person as they stimulate their blood and qi.

Upon reaching the first level of spiritual awakening, the light shines for dozens of meters, like a firefly.

It can barely protect a residential building.

The second-tier transcendent being's light illuminated hundreds of meters, like a torch.

It can be used to control an entire street.

The third-order morning star shines for thousands of meters, resembling a myriad of stars.

It can guard several large residential areas!
As for the experts above the fourth rank, they left Jiangcheng long ago and chose to go to more prosperous cities.

After all, when the simulator fights against the darkness, it also consumes a lot of spiritual power and blood energy.

Jiangcheng was just a small border town.

Low returns, high risks.

Only a fool would stay here.

As for other low-level simulators, those with some ability and connections also flocked to the inner city.

When the Sims huddle together, they can not only keep each other warm.

Moreover, it possesses the only Lord Core within the inner city!
Only the inner city area is visible.

The lights were on, and the atmosphere was peaceful.

A large spiritual array, radiating a soft light, resembled an inverted giant bowl, enveloping an area within a ten-mile radius.

People strolled leisurely down the street, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

Both sides of the street.

There are also various snack stalls and delicious food.

Children, holding candied hawthorns, chased and played with each other in the street.

In contrast.

The outer city, dark and gloomy, appeared utterly desolate.

But this is also reasonable.

After all, the original purpose of building the outer city was to provide the inner city with a continuous stream of resources and talent.

So in the eyes of the people in the inner city.

The entire outer city was just a large factory.
