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

After cleaning the cave, he suddenly realized something: the appearance of the toad was something that hadn't been mentioned in the simulator. A cold sweat broke out on his back. It seemed that he couldn't equate simulator events with the real future anymore.

Indeed, the future began to change the moment he received the reward. It naturally wouldn't be the same as what was written on the simulator; he had to remember this, otherwise, he might encounter even greater dangers later.

He felt extremely tired; the battle had taken a heavy toll on his body and mind, but now was far from the time to rest. The stench of blood was too strong; the battlefield needed to be cleaned up.

He was about to flush the cave with the puddles when he turned around and found that there wasn't much water in the puddle. He stared wide-eyed as he walked to the water's edge. "Ah, Crimson Flame Toad, you really deserve to die! My mirror! Without a mirror, how am I supposed to see myself?" He hissed and roared twice, venting his frustration. The Crimson Flame Toad was dead; what else could he do?

He mustered his strength, washed the cave, and collapsed in a corner. Without love, even the serpent's life felt meaningless. His mirror, where he could cool off and quench his thirst, was gone.

His gaze hardened considerably, and he made a decision: once the tribulation of tomorrow was over, he would find a new cave, as this place was indeed too rudimentary.

After resting, he prepared to begin the fourth simulation, hoping to find a way to overcome the crisis of the second day.

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

[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; Green Talent: Devour (Enables faster food digestion and greater nutrient absorption); Blue Talent: Basic Water Control.]

He was so excited he even jumped up. He knew it; he was an incredibly lucky snake. There was no need to choose anymore. He got Basic Water Control directly! That was an elemental attack! He'd been incredibly envious of that stinky toad's flames. Now he could control elements too! He hoped he could get enough Dragon Points!

[Host selects blue talent; Basic Water Control, simulation begins.]

On the first day, after cleaning the cave, you were so tired that you fell asleep inside. You didn't wake up until the moon rose. Looking at the moonlight outside, you felt that your cultivation speed had increased significantly. You had cultivated all night.

[On the morning of the second day, you smelled the exotic fragrance of ripe Vermilion Fruit. Having gained cultivation, you managed to resist for an extra half hour, but were eventually drawn to the location of the Vermilion Fruit tree. Along the way, you safely arrived, relying on your invisibility talent.]

On the afternoon of the second day, the vermilion fruit finally ripened. Several powerful demonic beasts fought fiercely, while you trembled and hid. In the end, the golden roc emerged victorious.

[The following evening, as Jinpeng was preparing to devour the Vermilion Fruit, several human cultivators descended from the sky. With a single sword strike, they killed the surviving Jinpeng, took the Vermilion Fruit, and departed. You devoured many demons who perished in the chaos of battle, increasing your cultivation to the second level of Qi Refining. Many other demons share your ambitions in the shadows.]

On the third day, having advanced in cultivation, you found a new cave in the Yunxi River. Using your water manipulation talent, you created a hollow cave underwater, greatly increasing your safety.

On the fourth day, you are peacefully practicing your spiritual cultivation.

On the fifth day, you are peacefully cultivating yourself.

……

[On the tenth day, while you were cultivating, a crab stopped in your cave and said that you had become a demon and why you hadn't gone to pay your respects to the King of Yunxi River. It said you must have ulterior motives. After saying this, it killed you. This crab was at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and you were no match for it. You could only die with regret.]

[This simulation has ended. Survival time: ten days. Cultivation level: Qi Refining Stage 2. Evaluation: A low-level demon beast that won't survive a month. Reward: 100 Dragon Points. (50 points for surviving for ten days, and 50 points for advancing one level in cultivation.)]

[Rewards available for this simulation: Blue Talent: Beginner Water Control (100 Dragon Points). Qi Refining Level 2 Cultivation (50 Dragon Points). Would you like to redeem these?]

Gu Yuchuan's big eyes were full of reluctance. He wanted both of them, and he needed them both. Needless to say, the Water Control ability was a talent that could be used until death. It could not only be used to fight enemies, but also increase the speed of cultivation. As for cultivation level, it goes without saying that it was the essence of a cultivator. It was a pity that he did not achieve anything this time and could only exchange for the initial level of Water Control.

After the exchange was completed, he realized that he could control the water dragon. He flicked his tail and a water sword shot out, splitting the rocks outside the cave in two. This power, combined with his invisibility, was simply a deadly weapon for sneak attacks.

He was full of hope for the future, but this simulation also presented two dangers. The first was the cultivators of tomorrow. If he was discovered, the only consequence would be death. The second was the crab general. However, he had thought of a solution: either avoid Yunxi River or go to pay his respects in advance. He would see how things went during the simulation.

Now, he only has two simulation attempts left, and he has a clear idea of ​​what to do tomorrow. Outside, the Jade Rabbit rises in the east, and the power of the moonlight covers the earth. He had heard in his previous life that this monster absorbs the essence of the sun and moon, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. He can feel that his cultivation speed has increased a lot.

Without further ado, his expression turned serious. He assumed a cultivation posture and began his practice. Cultivation requires a continuous and gradual process, and he would cultivate every night from now on, without the slightest slackening.

When he opened his eyes again, the sun was rising and the temperature was gradually increasing. He bent over and then straightened up, just like stretching, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable, like something was missing. After stretching, he felt refreshed and now he was just waiting for the exotic fragrance to appear.

He waited and waited, until he was getting sleepy. In his drowsy state, he suddenly felt a fragrance enter his body. The fragrance was very domineering, not like he was smelling it, but like he was being slapped in the face.

He had an urge to find the source of the fragrance himself. He stuck his tongue out, panting heavily to calm himself down. He decided to go as late as possible; after all, it wasn't safe there.

He controlled his mind, strengthened his will, and fought against the impulse. Slowly, he began to writhe on the ground. After about half an hour, he could no longer bear it and rushed out at lightning speed. Fortunately, he knew that he had activated his invisibility talent, so he was not discovered by too many wild beasts or monsters. He did not notice that his eyes had turned bloodshot.
