[Host has reached ten years of age, fulfilling the conditions to activate the second simulation.]
[Do you wish to activate the Villain Simulation?]
It's here!
Orion's spirit lifted; after such a long wait, the second simulation had finally arrived!
The first simulation yielded imnse gains, with the permanent Word Devouring and Eloquent Speech abilities completely transforming his life in the Underworld.
What abilities would he gain this ti?
"Activate the simulation!"
Orion said without hesitation.
[Confird. The second simulation is about to begin…]
[Talent abilities are being extracted…]
[Please select three initial talents for this simulation from the following five random talent words.]
Buddhist-like (Blue): Your spiritual core is relatively stable. It enhances your resistance to ntal interferences such as fear, charm, and confusion, making you less susceptible to external wills.
Weather Resistance MAX (Blue): You show slightly better adaptability to common, non-extre environnts. When active in these environnts, the rate of physical discomfort or negative status accumulation will slow down.
Dragon King's Twisted Mouth (White): When you confidently disdain your opponent, your facial muscles may involuntarily twitch, forming a mocking expression. This might make you appear more charming, more like a villain.
Foresight (Purple): Your perception becos exceptionally keen, generating a strong intuitive warning for impending direct attacks, significantly increasing the likelihood of evasion or parrying (Passive).
Growth Potential: If upgraded to Gold or above by consuming Villain Points, its effect undergoes a qualitative change:
It will not only foresee the occurrence of attacks but may even briefly predict the opponent's moves within the next 1-5 seconds.
Golden Threads of Fate (Gold): You can expend a portion of your ntal energy to emit 'Golden Threads' into the surrounding environnt, which are difficult for mortal senses to detect.
These threads can silently attach themselves to various corners of the environnt, weaving into a vast surveillance network.
Within the effective coverage area of your 'Golden Thread' (with more effort and deeper mastery of the ability, the coverage can expand), you can selectively perceive all ongoing events within the range.
Orion's gaze quickly swept over the five abilities, deep in thought.
Golden ability! Golden Threads of Fate!
A Golden Thread network capable of monitoring an entire city?
This is simply a divine skill tailor-made for him!
Information is power; mastering information is equivalent to having countless trump cards.
With this, whether it's controlling the Wildfire or planning sches in the future, he would be like a tiger with wings!
This one must be taken!
Next was the purple Foresight.
Abilities could actually be upgraded?
Moreover, this ability provided real combat power! If his luck was good, wouldn't enemies be unable to hit him at all? Even a sneak attack would be difficult.
In this Underworld, where one's life could be lost at any mont, there was no such thing as too much life-saving ability.
Also a must-have!
Only one ability slot remained.
Orion looked at the remaining three abilities.
The white Dragon King's Twisted Mouth seed to have little use beyond looking cool and potentially drawing aggro, so it was imdiately excluded.
The blue Weather Resistance MAX, adapting to the environnt… too ordinary, with limited effect.
Finally, there was the blue Buddhist-like.
Enhancing ntal resistance… this was sowhat interesting.
"That's the one!"
Orion quickly made his decision.
Combat power, behind-the-scenes control, and stable spirit—this combination of ability functions seed quite good.
"I choose Golden Threads of Fate, Foresight, and Buddhist-like!"
[Talent ability selection complete.]
[Your goal is to obtain as many Villain Points as possible by the end of the simulation.]
[Loading simulation world…]
The familiar dizziness struck again, more intensely than last ti.
His consciousness was drawn from his body, thrown into a boundless swirling star sea.
[Simulation activated.]
[At 0 years old, you are born on a colossal ship nad 'Xianzhou Zhuming'.]
[You are a faint energy fla, ignorant and chaotic, referred to by the people here as—Heliobus.]
When his consciousness re-condensed, Orion found himself "floating."
No limbs, no torso, not even a fixed form.
He tried to sense himself, only perceiving a small, extrely unstable wisp of faint green light.
Around him was a bustling crowd, dressed in what looked like ancient costus, with magnificent buildings in the background…
It was like transmigrating to ancient tis, but with so differences; it was a cyber-ancient setting.
This is Xianzhou?
And I… beca a ball of fire?
No, a Heliobus?!
Orion was a bit bewildered.
He wasn't even human at the start?
He imdiately thought of information about Heliobus.
Parasitic, body-snatching, immortal… and the king of Heliobus—Flint Emperor!
Could it be that the villain of this simulation is Flint Emperor?
If that were true…
Simulating a super villain who almost overturned the Xianzhou Alliance, wouldn't the Villain Points be incredibly satisfying to rack up?
[Based on Heliobus instinct, you need to find a 'container' to perceive the world and absorb sustenance. There are several suitable Xianzhou native targets nearby.]
The system's prompt interrupted Orion's reverie.
He then felt a sense of weakness, as if he could extinguish at any mont.
If he didn't find a host, he probably wouldn't even be able to maintain his consciousness!
He "looked" around. Several Xianzhou natives walked past his "little fla," seemingly unaware of his existence.
[Please select a host object.]
[1. The closest young person with a fragile spirit.]
[2. Attempt to possess a fervent follower of Abundance nearby who is praying loudly and emotionally.]
[3. Secretly attach to a passing pet dog, lay low and observe first.]
Orion analyzed the options.
The first option was the safest; a fragile spirit ant easier invasion.
The second option, an emotional follower of Abundance? Heliobus seed to feed on emotions or life force; the more intense the emotions, perhaps the more "nutrients" provided.
Hmm… that also felt like a good choice.
The third option… possessing a dog?
No, he was simulating a villain; who would beco a dog?
Then he would choose 2!
This person seed to have the most emotional sustenance.
Go for it, and maybe a bicycle turns into a motorcycle!
[You have chosen to possess the follower of Abundance.]
Orion controlled the faint fla, silently drifting towards the Xianzhou youth who was devoutly praying in the corner, his body trembling slightly.
The mont the fla touched the youth, a powerful suction force pulled it in.
Orion's consciousness instantly surged into the youth's body—
Sight, hearing, sll, touch… all human senses returned in an instant.
Success!
Orion opened his eyes, examining the hands of this body, feeling the solidness of having a physical form again.
Imdiately after, a jumble of mory fragnts and chaotic emotions suddenly began to assault his consciousness.
These were the host's original mories and emotions.
At the sa ti, a connection from the Heliobus's origin allowed him to instantly acquire more information.
A mont later, Orion understood the situation and was montarily stunned.
