Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

That same night, long-term cultivation of Qi caused a sheep to awaken its intelligence, and it escaped Biyou Village when chaos erupted within the village.

In October, the number of Qi-wielding animals that had not yet awakened their minds suddenly increased, causing increasing chaos in the world of supernatural beings...

Upon seeing the two sentences, Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly and analyzed the situation. The increase in the number of Qi-gaining animals that had not yet awakened their minds was likely due to that sheep.

But how did it do that?

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Fang Rui came up with two guesses: first, the sheep was somewhat special; second, someone was helping it.

However, the simulator indicates that the number of Qi-attaining animals that have not yet awakened their minds has increased, rather than the number of sheep that have not yet awakened their minds. In other words, the Qi-attaining animals causing trouble everywhere are not just sheep.

So where did the other animals' methods of cultivating Qi come from?

Fang Rui's thoughts suddenly stopped, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: could those animals be using the same method of cultivating Qi?

Using other races' Qi cultivation methods to forcibly cultivate, it actually works that one can cultivate Qi.

Fang Rui looked at the following content, which, in short, was about rounding up the problematic animals and finding the original source.

As a powerful force with a Qi-generating animal breeding farm, Biyou Village naturally receives special attention from the 'Company'.

The chaos in the world of supernatural beings did not last long. It was quickly resolved under the organization of the company, and the root of the chaos was found—a sheep and Lü Liang.

However, the root cause of the chaos was not caught, and the man and the sheep fled abroad and disappeared without a trace.

Months later, an even more terrifying beast tide swept across overseas...

"Alright, there's no need to read any more of the content. I can already guess what will happen next."

Fang Rui pressed his temples. To be honest, the plot seemed familiar. At first glance, it was similar to the opening of a certain movie, but the subsequent development was different.

After several waves of ferocious beasts, many animals have awakened their minds and mastered the art of Qi cultivation. However, their wild nature has not been extinguished, and they are unwilling to follow the rules...

Just like in many novels, the beast king led the other beasts to attack the nearby city.

During the events of resisting the beast tide, the existence of superhumans became known to ordinary people.

Because those beast kings were not without intelligence, after realizing they could not be defeated by force, they all hid in the deep mountains. Since then, it has been difficult to clear out the ferocious beasts in the mountains, and small beast tides have occurred from time to time.

Several years later, a society where everyone practices martial arts gradually took shape.

The beast horde triggered by a sheep, the social changes caused by a sheep—it's all rather absurd!

Ma Xianhong's advocacy of "education for all" was something he himself could not accomplish, but a sheep did it.

I wonder if Ma Xianhong will be happy or disappointed when he finds out?

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Fang Rui slowly shook his head. He couldn't imagine it, so he stopped thinking about it and started thinking about other things.

For example, young people who are always involved in major events.

Why did you get involved again, Lü Liang?!

Looking at Lü Liang, one of the instigators, Fang Rui couldn't understand why he was so good at causing trouble.

Instead of seeking the truth about the Jia Shen Rebellion, they teamed up with sheep to cause trouble.

I just can't understand your thought process, Lü Liang!

Fang Rui, who was making such a rant, suddenly froze. He suddenly remembered that there were two sources of chaos: one was Lü Liang, and the other was Mian Yang.

And it seems that the birth of that sheep was due to me.

In other words, my ability to stir up trouble is no less than Lü Liang's?

Emmm...

That's a bit awkward.

Stunned, Fang Rui stopped his wild thoughts and quietly waited for the simulation to end before turning his attention to the rewards for the simulation.

[This simulation is now complete. You may keep one of the following options.]

[I. Liu Hongzhong's Treatment Plan.]

II. Chen Duo's Treatment Plan.

[III. Accumulated Drawings (Expand/Collapse List).]

[IV. The Eighth Set of National Basic Qi Cultivation Exercises.]

[50 years of refined cultivation.]

【six……】

……

Looking at the rewards offered by the simulator, Fang Rui was slightly surprised. This was the first time he had seen the simulator offer so many rewards; usually there were only two or three, but this time there were more than five…

Some were what he needed, and some were just to make up the numbers.

He already has a considerable number of blueprints, so there's no need for him to continue selecting blueprints.

Furthermore, unselected rewards will now be available in the simulation store, so even if you want more than two rewards, it's not a problem, and you don't need to worry about which reward to choose.

So... let's choose cultivation level!

As for the treatment plans for Chen Duo and Liu Hongzhong, they can be purchased from the simulation store.

After making his selection, Fang Rui felt the increase in his internal energy and opened the simulated shop to check the prices of the two treatment options.

The prices are the same, both costing 100 virtual coins.

While checking the prices of other rewards, some rewards were priced below 100, the blueprint gift pack was priced at 100 simulated coins, while the eighth set of national basic Qi cultivation techniques was priced at 500 simulated coins.

"This price is a bit too high!"

Fang Rui muttered to himself, his gaze drifting to a corner of the house where Ma Xianhong and Lü Huan were still chatting.

He didn't disturb the two, but went to the village alone to find the squirrel and asked the question:

"If a sheep that has gained sentience disguises itself as an ordinary sheep and hides in the flock, can you find it?"

"You're making things difficult for this squirrel!" one of the squirrels exclaimed.

Chapter 53 Shen Chong's Preparations

Although the squirrel's reply did not explicitly state its meaning, it was clear that it had no other option.

Fang Rui wasn't surprised by this. The employees managing the farm were even more powerful than squirrels, yet they still didn't discover that any sheep had developed their minds. This showed that the sheep was well hidden.

It's okay if we can't find a way to detect it beforehand; we can just strengthen the guard or create a place that can contain the Qi sheep.

It's not that it's impossible to build, it's just very expensive!

Biyou Village may not have that much money now!

Why didn't they build it even after they made enough money? They probably forgot about it... or they had other ways to manage the flock.

It doesn't matter what the reason is, he's definitely going to build it this time.

On his way back to the forging workshop, Fang Rui pondered how to build the breeding farm.

When he returned to the forging workshop, he still had no clear ideas. Ma Xianhong and Lü Huan were still discussing, but the intensity of their discussion had decreased considerably.

Without making a sound to disturb the two, Fang Rui took out a stack of A4 papers, placed them on the table, and began to draw the design drawings for the new breeding farm.

The discussion between the two ended around noon when Fu Rong arrived with her lunchbox.

Inspired, Ma Xianhong skipped dinner and headed straight to the Cultivation Hall to put his idea into practice. If all went well, the Cultivation Furnace would be upgraded; if not, it would explode on the spot.

Lu Huan didn't leave the forging workshop; he was eating the noodles Fu Rong had brought him. Fang Rui, who was busy drawing blueprints and hadn't gone to the canteen, was also slurping up a bowl of noodles.

As for Fu Rong, she left after delivering the food.

After finishing the last bit of noodles and gulping down the soup, Fang Rui let out a satisfied sigh: "Ah~ That feels good."

Holding his bowl, Fang Rui looked at Lü Huan, who was eating noodles, and purchased the "Liu Hongzhong Treatment Plan" from the simulated store. Then he said to Lü Huan, "I have some preliminary ideas about how to cure Liu Hongzhong. Would you like to hear them?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Huan paused in her eating, slowly raised her head to look at Fang Rui, a few noodles still in her mouth, her expression one of surprise, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

In response, Fang Rui said, "I'm not joking."

"Slurp~" He slurped a few noodles into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and swallowed them. Not believing Fang Rui's words, Lü Huan said, "Tell me about it?"

"No need to explain, I'll write it down so you can study it at your own pace." Fang Rui put the bowl of noodles on the table, then picked up paper and pen to write, explaining at the same time, "I'm just proposing an idea. If it works, great; if not, forget it."

"Oh~" Lü Huan squinted and continued eating her noodles.

Fang Rui quickly wrote out the treatment plan and handed the A4 paper to Lü Huan. Lü Huan had already finished eating her noodles and took the A4 paper to read it.

Lu Huan, who was about to say something, swallowed back the words that were about to come out when he saw the contents of the A4 paper. After reading it carefully, he asked, "Did you really come up with this?"

The simulator is mine, so Fang Rui nodded confidently and said, "Of course it's mine."

Lu Huan mumbled something, but her voice was too soft for Fang Rui to hear. Then she raised her voice slightly and said, "I feel like you know more about the Soul-Brightening Technique than I do."

"You're overthinking it. I don't know as much about the Soul Clarity Technique as you do," Fang Rui said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Lü Huan glanced at Fang Rui, said nothing more, and turned back to read the contents of the A4 paper. After a while, she said, "According to the method written on the paper, the possibility of curing Liu Hongzhong is very high, but with my current strength, I cannot meet some of the requirements for treatment."

"It's good that it works." Fang Rui nodded calmly, as if he had known the plan would work all along and was not surprised at all.

"I will seize the time to cultivate the Soul Cultivation Technique." Lü Huan left the forging workshop with an A4 sheet of paper.

Watching Lü Huan's departing figure, Fang Rui tilted his head slightly and tapped his forehead with his fingertip: "I seem to have forgotten to say something... but since I forgot, it probably isn't anything important."

Thinking this, Fang Rui picked up his phone, intending to contact Shen Chong, but then he remembered the simulation he had just witnessed, and how Shen Chong wanted to break free from his control and ambush him with the other Quanxing disciples.

In other words, even if I ask him to do something now, he probably won't go.

Fang Rui put down his phone and postponed his thoughts.

………………

Meanwhile, Shen Chong in Z City was contacting members of the Quanxing Sect and gathering manpower.

"Where are you? I need your help with something."

"To actually make a troublemaker like him ask for help, it seems that matter is quite troublesome." A hoarse male voice came from the phone.

"It is indeed a troublesome matter, but if it succeeds, the rewards will be very substantial."

Thinking of Fang Rui's magical artifacts, Shen Chong said, "We can obtain at least two or three magical artifacts."

A slightly surprised "Whoa!" came from the phone, followed by the question: "A magical artifact? Yuan Tao should be very interested. Have you contacted him?"
