[Simulation Ended]
[Evaluation: You are the undisputed number-one martial artist under heaven and the supreme sovereign who united the globe. The knowledge you brought has reshaped the world; your achievements are without equal.]
[Congratulations, host, for clearing this world. You have earned one Real-World Simulation chance.]
[Life Score obtained: 500 points]
[You may spend your points on the following items:]
1. Peak strength from the simulation (300 points)
2. All memories of this simulation (400 points)
...5. One thousand taels of gold (100 points)
6. An oceangoing vessel with heavy armaments (200 points)
...[Detected: you have cleared this world. Would you like to inherit all strength and memories of your simulated self, along with the trait "Heaven-Sent Prodigy"?]
"Inherit."
The moment Lin Yu spoke, a globe of white light enveloped him.
As the light bathed him, Lin Yu felt his body growing stronger at breakneck speed while every memory of his simulated self surfaced in his mind.
Yet only the knowledge-based memories were crystal-clear; everyday life memories remained hazy.
Sixty seconds later the light faded.
Now the world felt unprecedentedly vivid, his mind razor-sharp—if he returned to his past life, scoring perfect marks on the college entrance exam would be child's play.
He knew this was the work of the trait Heaven-Sent Prodigy; he had become a peerless Genius just like his simulated self.
He then reviewed the inherited knowledge and realized that, setting martial-arts aside, his intellectual reserves surpassed anyone from his previous life.
Although the simulation hadn't produced cutting-edge tech, that was only because Great Xia's basic science lagged; with these insights he could practically hand-craft a spaceship.
Done surveying the knowledge, he next examined the changes in strength.
Though he still lacked Internal Energy, his physique was now more than ten times stronger than before the simulation.
And because his spirit had broken its limits at death in the simulation, he now possessed something akin to the Martial Dao Will of high-tier martial worlds.
He guessed it could unnerve an opponent's mind in battle.
Judging by the simulation it should also boost Internal Energy and amplify Move power—
—if only he had Internal Energy.
More than that, he could clearly see motes of golden light drifting in the air around him.
"This must be Spiritual Qi or some Transcendent energy. I wonder if I can perceive it thanks to my stronger body and Martial Dao Will, or because of the Heaven-Sent Prodigy trait?"
Lin Yu reached out to touch the golden motes—probably both factors, he decided.
Finished assessing himself, he turned to the simulator's purchase screen.
Only Great Xia tech products were listed—useless to him now.
He had hoped to buy strength again, but the simulator left no loophole.
In the end he simply exchanged for four thousand taels of gold, some medicinal herbs, and a supply of Corpse-Dissolving Powder.
After stowing the herbs and powder in the simulator's built-in storage,
he glanced at his phone: a message showed 160 million yuan deposited in his account.
Wasn't his daily transfer limit ten million? How had more than a hundred million arrived at once?
Still, he chose to trust the Golden Finger; something this overpowered could surely handle such trivia.
With all points spent, he prepared to use his Real-World Simulation chance.
Lin Yu had one expectation for this run: be absolutely high-profile—after all, only memories would carry back.
He would use it to plumb the depths of reality, expose whatever monsters lurked, and gather hard data on his exact strength.
"simulator, start Real-World Simulation."
[Real-World Simulation chance detected; commencing now.]
[Day 1: At dawn you swagger straight out the door.]
[Unbeknownst to you, someone in your building pales at the sight of you.]
"Crap—this guy must be the killer who murdered the original! And he lives in the same building… Good thing I didn't step out right after Transmigration or I'd be toast."
Lin Yu never imagined the murderer was that close; he silently praised his own caution.
[You head straight for the police station.]
[There you tell the officers you've awakened superhuman strength.]
"So my thoughts really can influence my simulated self."
Lin Yu realized his own intent had steered the simulation.
[The officers scoff—until you split a metal desk in half with one palm.]
[With no protocol for this, they report it to the chief.]
[The chief arrives; you demonstrate again. He makes a call and tells you specialists will arrive in two hours.]
["Looks like the Federation does have a department for Transcendent incidents. Wonder what it's called—Dragon Group, maybe?"]
[Less than an hour later two men in black trench-coats appear—one in his thirties, one about your age.]
[They escort you to a quiet room inside the station.]
[The older one speaks first.]
["You're Lin Yu, right? Relax—I'm Wang Shi, call me Brother Wang. The youngster is Li Ming, call him A-Ming. We handle cases like yours. When did you first notice the power?"]
["Uh, two days ago. Strength spiked and I thought I'd mutated, so I hid at home. After two days I looked normal—just handsomer—so I figured I wasn't unique. Videos online made me think the Federation would know more, so here I am."]
["I'm a law-abiding citizen; plus I guessed I wasn't the only one, so I came forward."]
[Your words thrilled Wang Shi; people willing to reveal themselves were rare, most fearing conspiracy theories about dissection.]
[Wang Shi knew many simply hated oversight—after years of servitude, who wants authority curtailing newfound power?]
[Which made someone like you all the more precious.]
[You learned their organization's full name: Global Transcendent Coordination and Management Bureau—abbreviated Supervision Bureau.]
[After discussion you agreed to join; Wang Shi was elated.]
[He drove you to Supervision Bureau's City Branch for a strength assessment.]
[En route Wang Shi revealed the first Transcendent appeared last January.]
[The Federation discovered him and, through research, detected a mysterious energy factor in the air.]
[Because the first awakened hailed from the East Continent, the Federation adopted its style and named the energy Spiritual Qi, calling empowered humans Transcendents.]
"So it really is Spiritual Qi—wonder if this is a resurgence or first appearance."
[Initially Awakenings were rare; then this March the density of Spiritual Qi spiked and new Transcendents multiplied.]
