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

As the two were drinking, a deep voice rang out from outside the door: "You two called me here to drink and discuss things, but now you're drinking yourselves first. I'm not too late, am I?"

The one speaking was naturally the Viper. Upon entering, the Viper was visibly startled. He was used to maintaining his snake form, but seeing them maintain their Dao bodies, he transformed into human form. He appeared to be around thirty years old. Compared to Gu Yuchuan, he was considerably older, with a weathered face, like a general who had fought on many battlefields; simply standing there exuded boundless power.

Gu Yuchuan felt the suppression of bloodline on him, something he had never felt before. He must have taken that step and become a high-grade spirit beast, a horned dragon. Before, they were all snakes, which could only be said to be of the dragon category. Only when they reached the level of horned dragons could they be considered to have some dragon blood. This horned dragon is also called a false dragon. Although it has the word "false" in it, it is still a real dragon.

Gu Yuchuan immediately stood up: "Congratulations, brother, you've successfully become a high-grade spirit beast. With your bloodline, you must be number one in the outer reaches of Yunhai Marsh."

The Xuan Turtle Demon General was not a dragon, so he didn't perceive his bloodline as clearly: "Oh? You actually succeeded in advancing. That's great news. Put away the word 'should' and I can tell you with certainty that you are the highest-level demon beast in the outer reaches of this Cloud Sea Marsh. Especially for you dragons, you are already among the best in your class. You're really amazing, Little Song."

This little Song is the Viper, and his real name is Song Yuqing. With his advancement, the title of Viper Demon General is no longer appropriate. After discussing it, they changed it to Ink Scale Demon General, which sounds very much related to the Azure Scale Demon General. The three of them understood each other without saying that from this moment on, they were a community of interests, banding together to gain a better position and resources on the outskirts of Yunhai Marsh in order to seek the realm of Demon King.

The Xuan Turtle Demon General stood up and raised his wine cup: "Today, I raise a cup to toast you two. This is from the bottom of my heart. I am very happy to have you two geniuses as brothers. I know that you both want to establish your own sects. Rest assured, I will provide you with the greatest convenience and assistance possible. I hope that one day, the three of us can all become Demon Kings. At that time, we can continue to advance and retreat together in the inner region of Yunhai Marsh."

He truly lived up to his reputation as a shrewd operator in the power struggles; his words were incredibly eloquent. At the very least, Gu Yuchuan was pleased to hear them. He no longer treated the two as subordinates, but rather as business partners. This would undoubtedly foster a more harmonious relationship among the three.

They downed a glass of wine together and started laughing. Their laughter was unrestrained; they had let go of all their inhibitions. At that moment, it was as if they had forgotten their other identities and were simply three good friends having a simple get-together.

The banquet continued, and after several rounds of drinks, they finally began to discuss serious matters. It was the Xuan Turtle Demon General who spoke first.

"Regarding your future paths, we've already discussed Xiao Song's path, which is to cultivate him into a generation of war god. This war is a process of creating a god, and the Demon King above has already agreed. However, I am still thinking about how Xiao Gu should develop in the future."

He sighed: "Logically speaking, someone with your talent should be nurtured by the God of War. But in literature, there is no first place, but in martial arts, there is no second. You two are on the same path, so you will definitely compete, which will also dilute each other's resources. This is not good news. I just can't figure out how to nurture you for the time being."

Gu Yuchuan had actually thought about this problem. He would be happy if he didn't have to stay on the front line: "Brother, I actually have some ideas about this problem. Don't forget, I am a very good weapon refiner. As long as you give me time, I can become a level two weapon refiner soon. At that time, I will be the only level two weapon refiner on the outskirts of Yunhaize. It's just that my Linglang Pavilion will still need the help of you two to take care of it."

When he made this suggestion, everyone started to think about it. It was perfect. One of them was in politics, one in the military, and one in business. They could help each other without hindering one another. It was a great cycle, and all three of them were very satisfied.

The Xuan Turtle Demon General immediately spoke again: "This idea is very good. Here's what we'll do: I'll handle this for you. It will take about a few days, and then you can go back first. After you go back, don't rush to open your business. Magic artifacts are something that can't be done on a small scale. Wait until you have a spiritual artifact before opening your business. Also, a master should have the demeanor of a master. In the future, you should use this identity less when you go out. Only by building up your mystery can you earn the respect of others."

He thought about it and realized it made sense, so he nodded in agreement. The problem of the three of them's future paths was solved so easily, which was truly a good thing.

Next, it was just pure drinking and having fun. Gu Yuchuan had never enjoyed himself so much since he transmigrated. One reason was that he was from the lower class and didn't like to indulge in pleasures. The other reason was that he had a lot of pent-up anger. He believed that as a transmigrator with cheat codes, he was destined to become a superior person. Now that he had achieved the Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation and possessed the Golden Light Mantra, he finally had the capital to rise up. He was able to release the anger in his heart.

They drank heartily and even brought in a group of human women to perform songs and dances. The three demons were very happy watching, since the demon race didn't have such things. However, they could only watch, because they were all in a semi-transformed state and were simply powerless to do so.

Pleasant things are always short-lived. The banquet finally came to an end. They were all drunk and it was hard to go back. So the Xuan Turtle Demon General arranged for them to rest in the mansion.

The next morning, Gu Yuchuan woke up. The first thing he did was practice the Golden Light Mantra, and then he reflected on himself. He realized that he should do less of these dissolute things. Although they were indeed enjoyable, it would be difficult to maintain a state of cultivation if he indulged himself. He should do them less often.

He pushed open the door, and a maid came up to ask him if he wanted breakfast. He shook his head and refused, intending to go see the Xuan Turtle Demon General and return home. However, the maid told him that the Demon General had gone out to work and had already said that he could leave on his own if they woke up. This was even better, as it saved him from the formalities. He left immediately.

He wanted to simulate the process when he went back this time, since it had been a long time since he had done so. He also wanted to see what changes would occur and whether he could improve his weapon-refining skills through simulation. Otherwise, even if he had the talent of a weapon-refining master, advancing to the level two weapon-refining master would still require a period of time and a lot of resources.
