Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

His tone wasn't exactly polite, but the Serpent King was clearly suspicious. Among the demon beasts, snakes were considered one of the more intelligent species, especially serpents, which were of spirit beast blood and naturally possessed intelligence. He realized that the Black Serpent King's behavior was a bit strange.

"Someone, take this little green snake to a cave to rest. You all need to treat her well and not be impolite in the slightest."

Gu Yuchuan now wanted to be the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King. He smiled wickedly. "No way, they want to lock me up too? Does this viper really distrust snakes that much?" He was truly speechless. But since the viper had spoken, he couldn't escape.

Actually, this isn't a bad thing. After all, Crab General is already dead. Once Black Serpent dies, there will be many vacancies in the management of Yunxi Palace. Isn't he the best candidate to fill these vacancies, given his recent merits?

He followed the clam maiden to a cave. The spiritual energy inside was quite good, so he decided to cultivate there for a while.

After the clam woman left, he lay down on a soft cushion and rubbed against it. It was indeed much more comfortable than the ground in his cave. It seemed that when he got back, he would have to go ashore, find a furry animal, kill it, and make himself a soft cushion. Lying on it was really comfortable. After lying there for a while, he even felt drowsy and wanted to sleep. But that was definitely not going to work. He jumped up and slapped himself hard across the face with his tail.

Gu Yuchuan, why are you indulging in pleasure again? With your level of cultivation, is this the time to enjoy yourself? When you become a dragon, you can lie in the Dragon Palace and enjoy yourself however you want. Right now, your life isn't even guaranteed. You can't afford to be lazy like this.

This can't really be blamed on Gu Yuchuan. He's only been in this world for a few days, and his thoughts and habits from his previous life still dominate his consciousness. Aren't all young people in the previous life like this? Valuing themselves and enjoying life to the fullest—this kind of thinking can't be changed in a short time. The fact that he can reflect on himself in time is already a very good thing.

He's about to start a new round of simulations to see if this operation will have any major impact on the future.

[Congratulations, host, on activating the ninth simulation. We will now begin drawing talents.]

[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; White Talent: Swiftness; White Talent: Strength.]

He rubbed his eyes, his mouth agape. What was this? All three of his talents were white. Was he some kind of vile snake? Why was he being treated like this? He didn't even have a single green talent left?

He just wanted to curse, really wanted to curse, it was just too outrageous, but that wouldn't change anything. He could only grit his teeth and sulk. In the end, he chose to strengthen his scales, hoping that combined with his innate supernatural power, there would be some synergistic effect, better than nothing.

[Host selects white talent: Scale Enhancement, simulation begins.]

[Day 1. Focus on your cultivation in your cave. The spiritual energy here is even more concentrated than in your cave where you used a spirit-gathering array, so your cultivation speed will be extremely fast.]

[The next day. You continued your diligent cultivation in your cave.]

On the third day, the maid who brought you food looked worried. She said that the Black Serpent King, whom she admired most, was dead, killed by a human. You were secretly pleased, knowing that his identity had been exposed.

On the fourth day, you eagerly awaited your release, but after a whole day of cultivation, you were still not free. Not knowing why, you could only continue your cultivation.

On the fifth day, you are still continuing your practice.

On the sixth day, you continued your spiritual practice.

……

On the twenty-sixth day, the Serpent summoned you and gave you a mission: to attack a beast-breeding farm under the Beast Taming Sect and rescue the demonic beasts inside. He didn't force you to go, but you knew there were suspicious points surrounding you. If you didn't go, the best outcome would be being expelled from Yunxi River. This was your pledge of loyalty, so you went.

On the twenty-seventh day, you arrived at the beast farm following the route. Sure enough, there were only two Qi Refining Level 3 cultivators there, which you easily killed. On your way back, you encountered a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator who, upon seeing the beast bearing the Beast Taming Sect's mark behind you, killed you with a single sword strike.

[This simulation has ended. Survival time: 27 days. Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 5. Evaluation: A monster with some intelligence, but lacking a bit of luck. Reward: 135 Dragon Points. (135 points for surviving 27 days.)]

He was truly furious. He was definitely at odds with human cultivators, wasn't he? He had died countless times under this sword light. He deeply suspected that these people were the same person, but he had no proof. However, he had already memorized that aura. A mere Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator? Just wait, he would definitely take revenge. He took out his little notebook, squeezed out a little blood, and wrote down the words "human sword cultivator," showing how furious he was.

As for the rewards, I won't redeem them this time. What kind of junk are these? What's there to redeem? I might as well just save them up. Last time, I was already upset because I couldn't redeem the magic weapon. If there's nothing to redeem in the future, I'll save them up so that the situation won't happen again.

He lay down and began to cultivate. Although this place had trapped him, it was also a safe haven. As long as the Serpent King was there, Yunxi Palace would be an extremely safe place.

Unbeknownst to him, the weather outside was about to change. The viper did not go to find the black snake, but instead, after the other returned, summoned him to his cave. He simply stared at the black snake without moving for a long time before finally speaking. At this moment, the black snake's heart began to pound violently.

“Brother, it’s been ten years since I brought you out of the house. In these ten years, I have devoted myself to nurturing you and have made you a powerful Qi Refining Level 7 expert. Wherever you go in the outer reaches of Yunhai Marsh, you are respectfully called the Black Serpent King. Haven’t I been good to you?”

The moment the black snake lowered its head, he knew that the worst had happened. The other party had truly betrayed him. He knew his brother too well. However, he did not act immediately.

Black Snake composed himself, tears streaming down his face. "What do you mean by that, brother? What wrong have I done, or what villain said that might affect our brotherhood? Brother, if you're determined to find fault, you can always find a reason. If you really don't like your brother anymore, then I'll go back. Besides, the Snake Cave needs a cultivator to guard it, so I'll go."

He turned his head and found that the cave entrance had been closed by the viper, clearly indicating that it did not intend to let him leave.

The viper's icy voice, tinged with murderous intent, rang out behind him: "Speak, when did you betray me? My dear brother!"
