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

After uttering those harsh words, Gu Yuchuan was a little stunned. He raised his head, looked around, and even stuck out his tongue, carefully searching for information about his surroundings, because he couldn't find his way home!

Good heavens, as expected, time travel doesn't improve your skills. I was terrible with directions in my past life, and I'm sure I'll still be terrible with directions after this time travel.

He hid in a tree hollow, preparing to conduct a simulation to see how to proceed.

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

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

He sighed softly. Sure enough, today was the day of the Green Snake (the unlucky version). He didn't even have a single blue talent, so he could only choose Devour. Fortunately, he had been eyeing Devour for a long time.

[Host selects green talent; Devour, simulation begins.]

On the first day, you traveled eastward and finally found the Cloud Creek River. You carved out your own underwater dwelling and officially settled down by the Cloud Creek River.

The next day, you found a koi carp spirit at the second level of Qi Refining nearby. You asked it how to pay homage to the King of Yunxi River. With the koi's help, you benefited greatly.

On the third day, you went to land to search for rare and precious treasures, but after searching all day, you found nothing.

On the fourth day, you found a spiritual herb, the Yellow Sprout Grass. You were overjoyed; you were finally able to pay your respects to the King.

On the fifth day, you took the spiritual herb to pay your respects to the King of Yunxi River, the Serpent King. One of his mid-stage Qi Refining shrimp soldiers received you and gave you a jade token to settle down in Yunxi River, officially giving you a home.

On the sixth day, you began your cultivation in your cave. Your demonic bloodline allowed you to cultivate at a considerable pace, and you enjoyed it immensely, making significant progress.

On the seventh day, you remained in your cave, continuing your cultivation.

[The eighth day, the ninth day...]

On the nineteenth day, you successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining. Before you could even celebrate, you heard the sounds of fighting outside. You saw a monkey spirit hitting a koi carp with a stick on the shore. Enraged, you helped the koi carp drive the monkey spirit away.

On the twentieth day, twelve monkey spirits rushed into the water and cruelly murdered you and the koi carp.

Seeing this, he was so angry that he directly lashed the tree twice with his tail. Sure enough, monkeys are annoying. It was expected that he would help the koi, after all, the koi had answered his questions and was considered a friend. If a friend is beaten, he will definitely help. He took out a small notebook, which only had the name of Crab General on it. Now there are twelve monkey spirits on it. This is his kill list. If someone is on the list, he will kill them. He is a little snake who dares to love and hate.

[This simulation has ended. Survival time: 19 days. Cultivation level: Qi Refining Stage 2. Evaluation: A low-level demon beast gradually adapting to the world. Reward: 145 Dragon Points (95 points for 19 days of survival and 50 points for advancing one level of cultivation).]

[Rewards available for this simulation: Green Talent: Devour (50 Dragon Points). Would you like to redeem the Qi Refining Level 2 cultivation (50 Dragon Points)?]

He redeemed them all at once. It was just a mere 100 Divine Dragon Points. After the cultivation entered his body, he felt much stronger. Whether it was the strength of his body, his fangs, or his water control, everything was much better.

[Congratulations, host, on reaching the second level of Qi Refining. You are rewarded with one simulation attempt.]

He didn't go out immediately, but instead thought about his current situation. He had cultivation level, but lacked combat experience and magical abilities, which was definitely a big weakness. He hoped to make up for this lack of experience in the future, otherwise, he would become someone else's background sooner or later.

After reviewing the game, he followed the instructions in the simulator and headed east. Gradually, he could feel the dampness of the water flowing through his tongue. Sure enough, after walking a short distance, he saw the Yunxi River.

The Yunxi River wasn't very big, only about twenty meters wide. He couldn't tell how long it was, but it didn't seem particularly short either, since he couldn't see the end even with his magic. He jumped into the water with a splash, without making a single splash. Sure enough, which Chinese person doesn't have a bit of a diving spirit? Even if he turned into a snake, he couldn't make a splash when he jumped into the water.

He searched underwater for a long time and found a natural cave filled with water next to the riverbank. After swimming in, he realized that this should be the one he had found in his simulation. It was indeed good. The space inside was not small. Even if his size doubled again, he could still live there.

He used his water manipulation talent to drain all the water from the cave and set up a simple barrier around the cave. This was his own understanding of the use of magic, and it could only block some unconscious water flow.

He was increasingly satisfied with what he saw, humming a little tune happily. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be staying here for a long time. He lay on the ground, supporting his head with his tail, feeling that something was not perfect. That's right, there was no cover at the entrance of this cave. Anything that passed by could see the scene inside the cave. This was definitely not acceptable.

He wandered around outside and found some coral and seaweed, which he placed in front of his door, making it much more discreet. Suddenly, he felt the light around him brighten, and when he turned his head, he saw a pure white koi. It looked incredibly beautiful and pure, its entire body snow-white, making anyone who saw it feel ashamed of their own appearance.

"Are you a fairy who's coming to live here?"

His voice was somewhat clear and crisp, but unexpectedly, this beautiful little fish turned out to be a boy.

Gu Yuchuan nodded: "That's right, I live here. I just haven't paid my respects to the Serpent King yet. I'll prepare my things and go tomorrow."

The koi fish circled around him once: "Great! From now on, we'll be neighbors. If you ever need anything, you can ask me for help. I, Little White Fish, have quite a bit of influence in this area."

If Gu Yuchuan didn't lack hands, he would have given him a thumbs up. What a wonderful demon! In the simulator, he had already shown him how to pay respects to the Serpent King, and now he was extending goodwill to him.

Just you wait, little white fish. Those monkeys are cunning. I, the snake, will surely kill them and let you survive this ordeal.

"Alright, you go ahead with your work. I need to go back to cultivate too. If there's a chance, we can discuss the Dao. But that will have to wait until after you go to pay your respects to the King. Just a reminder, you should go as soon as possible. I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

Having simulated the situation several times, Gu Yuchuan naturally understood this goodwill. If he didn't go and was discovered, he would be killed by the Crab General. Although he had a grudge against the Crab General, he had no choice but to submit to the situation. He didn't have the strength to do so now and could only wait until later to take revenge.
