BXBX NOVEL Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Talent, Your Spiritual Root is Different from Ordinary People
Filled with confusion, Su Xing continued to read.
[Your parents told you that Su Nianan died during a dungeon leveling session.]
[You were overwhelmed with grief, spending your days drowning your sorrows in alcohol, living in a drunken stupor.]
[Your good brother Yu Yan found you, and he felt regret for the death of your sister.]
[He comforted you, and you walked out from the depths of your sorrow.]
[He gave you a large sum of money, which you invested in a professional equipment store.]
[You quickly made a fortune and became a somewhat famous second-hand equipment dealer in Kyoto.]
[Three years later, another piece of terrible news came; your good brother Yu Yan had died too.]
Su Xing fell silent after reading this.
Yu Yan was his college roommate and his best brother in college.
Furthermore, Yu Yan was a hidden professional, considered a genius in the whole of Kyoto University—how could he have just died like that?
[You attended Yu Yan\'s funeral.]
[At the funeral, you learned that Yu Yan died in a dungeon.]
[From your classmates, you found out that many of your peers from those years had died in dungeons too.]
[You were shocked, what kind of dungeons were they that hundreds of powerful professionals died in them?]
[But they weren\'t willing to reveal more.]
[A sense of crisis like never before erupted in your heart, and you decided to dedicate yourself to training.]
[You spent a year and managed to reach the ninth level of Body Refinement.]
[You continued to train, but your Cultivation Level could not progress any further.]
[Out of helplessness, you shifted your focus back to business.]
[During an unexpected market fluctuation, the price of healing potion-like tools skyrocketed, but your equipment was ignored.]
[You went bankrupt, and by then, you were thirty-two years old and no longer had the grand aspirations of your youth.]
[You took your thirty million in savings and prepared to retire to the countryside.]
[Four years later, you became a well-known wealthy person in the village.]
[Seeing that you were single, the village matchmaker wanted to introduce you to Ru Hua from the village head\'s family.]
[You took a look at Ru Hua\'s face and politely refused.]
[You thought life would just quietly continue on like this.]
[One day, while you were enjoying the cool in the courtyard, you looked up to see a colossal beast obscuring the sky.]
[In a trance, you saw several golden figures flying into the sky, attacking the giant beast.]
[The beast opened its mouth and swallowed the entire Great Xia Country.]
[You died, at the age of thirty-six!]
[This simulation has ended!]
[Your first-time simulation reward is free to claim. You can choose one of the following rewards: Spiritual Root Holder (Talent), Body Refinement Level Nine (Cultivation Level).]
Looking at the simulation results before him, Su Xing fell into deep thought.
Fifteen years later, fearsomely powerful Demonic Beasts were descending upon the real world, directly swallowing the entire Great Xia Country!
Such powerful Demonic Beasts were unheard of by Su Xing.
Perhaps the entire Human Race didn\'t have any professionals who could resist them right now.
Thinking this, Su Xing let out a wry smile:
"So it turns out that the apocalypse is coming in fifteen years... Sigh, who would have thought that after resisting for over a thousand years, the Human Race would still be exterminated by the Demon Race."
Su Xing sighed but then shook his head.
"What will happen in fifteen years, who can know... It\'s still the things at hand that matter!"
Su Xing looked at the two rewards he could choose, torn.
The Spiritual Root Holder Talent or Body Refinement Level Nine Cultivation Level - which one should he choose?
After some hesitation, Su Xing made up his mind and said:
"I choose the Spiritual Root Holder!"
At the same time, an imperceptible change seemed to occur in Su Xing\'s body, and his senses became sharper.
"So this is what it feels like to possess a Spiritual Root?"
All of a sudden, Su Xing noticed something and stealthily glanced down.
Hiss~
```
Who would have thought being different could bring such good fortune?
Su Xing\'s heart filled with joy.
The reason he chose the Spiritual Root was naturally because this talent was acquired randomly, and he still thirsted for the path of cultivation, so he definitely couldn\'t pass up such a gift.
As for the Body Refinement ninth level cultivation, although it would be not bad for the current Su Xing, if he continued to use the simulator and retrain, reaching the ninth level of Body Refinement wouldn\'t be difficult.
After choosing his talent, Su Xing wanted to continue simulating but received a prompt from the system.
[Ding, this simulation consumed 200 points of energy. Current simulation energy is 0, cooldown time for simulation in progress. Please recharge energy and simulate again in one week.]
Only then did Su Xing remember that each simulation required energy and there was also a week\'s cooldown period.
The cooldown period was easy to deal with; he just had to wait a week.
But how to obtain energy?
[Ding, this simulator can absorb all matter containing energy and convert it into simulation energy!]
After hearing this, a thought struck Su Xing, and he quickly rummaged out over a dozen pieces of white equipment.
"Absorb!"
[Detected white equipment, Sharp Dagger, absorption successful, 5 points of energy obtained.]
[Detected white equipment, Little Princess\'s Gauntlets, absorption successful, 8 points of energy obtained.]
[Detected white equipment...]
[...]
[Simulator remaining energy: 103 points.]
After receiving the prompt, Su Xing\'s face darkened.
Over a dozen white equipment pieces, with some providing up to 9 points of energy, but some even as low as 2 points.
They only recovered the simulator\'s energy to 103 points, which was nearly half short of the required 200!
"Damn it, even a piece of white equipment costs at least 1000 Great Xia Coins, and just like that, I\'ve spent tens of thousands?"
Su Xing felt a pang of loss but still took out more than a dozen more pieces of equipment, recharging the energy to 205 points.
"Sigh, I\'ve almost spent all the equipment I\'ve collected over these three years, and if I recharge again, I might have to spend real money!"
Su Xing sighed. Fortunately, he had been running dungeons and gold farming for money frequently over the last three years and had over a million in savings.
"Better stock up on more white equipment and convert it to energy!"
Su Xing took out his phone, spending several hours.
He bought hundreds of pieces of white equipment on a professional traders\' online platform and converted them all into energy.
[Simulator remaining energy: 713 points.]
Looking at the energy displayed in the simulator, Su Xing felt a wave of satisfaction.
"Now I just have to wait a week!"
Knock, knock, knock!
Just then, a plump figure walked into the dormitory.
"Old Su, there are six first-year girls waiting for you outside the dorm... One of them is a real looker! Heh heh, you sure play the field, kiddo!"
The speaker was none other than Yu Yan, known as Fatty Yu, a fire Mage of a hidden occupation, a Blazing Mage!
Su Xing knew that it was the underclassmen who had come looking for him to help them level up in the dungeons, so he gave Fatty Yu a complicated look.
"Got it, they\'re here for me to lead them through a dungeon run. I\'ll be back in the evening, remember to save me some food!"
Su Xing patted Fatty Yu\'s shoulder and left the dormitory.
At the dormitory entrance, Su Xing saw six freshmen girls dressed to the nines.
Su Xing spoke directly:
"You know the rules, right? The next dungeon run will cost each of you 2000 Great Xia Coins, and any loot we acquire is mine!"
The girls nodded one after another, but one girl with delicate features and a simple outfit seemed hesitant.
Noting this, Su Xing was intrigued but did not press the issue, instead saying:
"Then follow me!"
Soon, the group arrived at a dungeon known as "Ten Mile Slope" on the outskirts of the city.
The dungeon was known for continuously spawning a type of Demonic Beast called "Wild Boar Spirits."
With levels ranging from Bronze 5 to 10, it offered decent experience for newly class-changed professionals, though it wasn\'t without difficulty.
But for a sixth level Body Refinement cultivator like Su Xing, it was like taking candy from a baby.
An hour later, all the girls had leveled up.
Su Xing happily received a payment of ten thousand Great Xia Coins, then turned to the girl who was still hesitant to part with the money.
"Um, senior... I\'m a bit tight on cash right now, so could I perhaps..."
