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

After he lay down comfortably, he prepared to begin the simulation. Having arms made things much more comfortable. He could use his hands to adjust his blanket, wrapping himself up in a warm blanket. Even snakes with high cultivation levels prefer warm and cozy environments; dark and damp places are no good.

[Congratulations, host, on starting the eighteenth simulation. We will now begin drawing talents.]

[Ring ring, ring ring, the alarm clock is ringing, reminding the host to wash their hands before drawing the card.]

He widened his eyes. He really had gotten up too early today, and his mind wasn't very clear. He had even forgotten to shower and change clothes before drawing cards. He couldn't let this happen next time.

He climbed out of his warm bed, carefully washed his hands, and even burned some incense. Then he lit a stick of sandalwood in the room. This sandalwood had no other function than to smell wonderful, like a secluded orchid in a valley, making one feel as if they were in a valley filled with blooming flowers. Walking among the flowers, one felt as if they were a flower fairy.

After dealing with these matters, he finally snuggled back into his warm bed and began the simulation. "Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, please, grant me a better talent!"

[White Talent: Scale Enhancement; White Talent: Swiftness; Blue Talent: Spirit Gathering. (Enables faster absorption of spiritual energy, increasing cultivation speed by 30%.)]

He happily patted his tail, a smile spreading across his face. Well, as expected, he was a lucky little snake. This talent was very useful, at least it allowed him to improve his cultivation much faster. It was a good talent, so he chose to start simulating it.

[On the first day, you consumed a Nine-Flower Pill and began your cultivation. With the combined effects of the pill and your innate talent, you felt your cultivation level rapidly improving, bringing you much closer to the second level of Foundation Establishment.]

The next day, you took Bai Ming to find the Crocodile King. The Crocodile King didn't back down; instead, he became extremely arrogant. You easily killed him and then told the Xuan Turtle Demon General about it.

On the third day, you consumed another Nine-Flower Pill and continued your cultivation. Finally, you broke through to the second level of the Foundation Establishment realm, and you were overjoyed. However, Bai Li requested an audience, saying that he sensed a cloud of dust hanging over the aura of the Flood Dragon Palace, and that someone was plotting against you. You had no ideas and could only observe the situation.

On the fourth day, four demon generals descended upon Mingxi, saying that someone had reported you for arbitrarily killing the King of Yunhaize. They wanted to investigate you, but you brought out the Xuan Turtle Demon General, and they dared not arrest you directly.

On the fifth day, a rumor spread throughout the outskirts of Yunhai Marsh, claiming that the Azure Scale Demon of Mingxi was indiscriminately slaughtering its own kind. Your reputation soured, and you began investigating who was behind it all, but you couldn't find out.

On the sixth day, you continued your investigation, but still found nothing.

On the seventh day, the four demon generals descended upon Mingxi once more. Public opinion put pressure not only on you but also on them. This time, no matter who you bring up, it's futile. Facing four late-stage Foundation Establishment demon generals, you know your resistance is pointless. You were taken away by them.

On the eighth day, the Xuan Turtle Demon General rushed back from the front lines to try to save you. However, news of your situation had already spread throughout the outskirts of Yunhai Marsh. Public opinion was so strong that you could only die. Even his instigation of the Black Shark Demon King could not save you.

On the ninth day, the dejected Xuan Turtle Demon King came to see you one last time. He said that a flower demon king within the Cloud Sea Marsh was determined to execute you, but you couldn't understand what you had done to offend her. In the end, you could only die under her punishment.

[This simulation has ended. Survival time: nine days. Cultivation level: Foundation Establishment Level 2. Bloodline: Low-grade spirit beast, Dragon-Snake. Achievement: The Injustice of Dou E. Evaluation: Change your mindset, little snake. You can't even play the propaganda game properly, utterly embarrassing. Reward: 145 Divine Dragon Points (45 points for surviving for nine days, 50 points for achieving the achievement, and 50 points for advancing one level in cultivation).]

He was so angry that he sat up abruptly! He, a modern person who had transmigrated here, had actually lost a war of public opinion! When he was cursing people on Weibo, he could single-handedly insult a whole group of people, yet he had actually lost a war of public opinion—it was an utter disgrace.

And that flower demon in the inner region of Yunhaize—what had he done to offend him? He didn't even know any flower demons. He was truly astonished that the other party had spent so much time and effort to set such a huge trap for him. It was terrifying. He took out his little notebook and wrote down, "Flower Demon King." Although this title was definitely not right, he would write it down for now, knowing that there would be a time for revenge.

Let's look at the rewards first; we'll talk about the debriefing later.

[Rewards available for redemption this time: Blue Talent: Spirit Gathering (50 Dragon Points), Foundation Establishment Level 2 Cultivation (50 Dragon Points).]

He gained 145 points this time, easily taking all of the mere 100 points. His aura instantly became even more powerful, a sign of advancing to the second level of Foundation Establishment. He could feel that his absorption of spiritual energy was also much faster, indicating that his talent was indeed very strong, and his advancement was much smoother.

Now, let's start reviewing the situation. From the moment he killed the Crocodile King, he was completely trapped. His only fate was death. Therefore, the Crocodile King absolutely could not be killed. However, since the other party had come to bully him on his own doorstep, and it was a Qi Refining cultivator bullying a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this obviously could not be ignored. Otherwise, if a rumor spreads that he was a born coward, it would not be conducive to his development. Therefore, we still need to plan carefully.

This was actually easy to solve. He thought about it for a short while and came up with a solution. However, while the Crocodile King was easy to deal with, the Demon King behind him was not. What exactly was the Demon King's title? Why did she hate him so much? These were things that needed to be figured out. Moreover, Gu Yuchuan's idea was quite good. Didn't the other side want to play a propaganda war? It was time to let him see how people from the Celestial Empire understood propaganda warfare.

However, all of this is predicated on knowing who this demon king is.

He also had some ideas about this problem. He would start by taking down the Crocodile King and see if he could get any information out of him. Even if he couldn't get anything out of him, he had a series of other methods. He wanted to see what kind of demon king this was, hiding his true nature.

He sat down on the futon in a huff, replacing the incense with a calming incense stick, which was an aid to cultivation and was very valuable. He began his cultivation; he would deal with the rest after setting off tomorrow. This time, he had a clear plan and was determined to make them pay the price.
