The story splits into two.
On the other side, after Su Xing left the Baili Mansion, he rode non-stop through the night and arrived at Fudong Province.
After confirming that no one was following him, Su Xing decisively entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land.
Taking out the large handful of storage rings, Su Xing whispered excitedly:
"With so many instance dungeon items, how much energy are they worth!?"
Su Xing took out one storage ring and silently thought:
"Convert to simulated energy!"
[Ding, detected item with contained energy, worth 9.87 million points of energy, absorb?]
Su Xing said decisively, then took out another ring.
[Ding, detected item with contained energy, worth 12.03 million points of energy, absorb?]
[Ding, detected item...worth 8.57 million points of energy, absorb?]
Su Xing kept taking out rings, converting all the rings and instance dungeon items into simulated energy.
"Hehe, I've even let you absorb the storage rings; how're you going to find me?"
Su Xing chuckled, and in the next few minutes, he watched the energy on the simulation panel skyrocket.
"In the end, just how much energy is there?"
After converting everything, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel's energy and started giggling foolishly.
"Hundred... thousand... ten thousand... million... billion!"
A total of 480 million points of energy!
"Goodness, with this much energy, it's more than enough to raise my Qi Refining Cultivation to Divinity Transformation Perfection!"
Su Xing's eyes were filled with excitement.
Apparently, after obtaining so much energy, Su Xing wouldn't need to worry about a lack of energy for a while.
At the same time, with such an abundance of energy, Su Xing's strength was bound to make even greater progress!
After converting the energy, Su Xing repeatedly confirmed that he wasn't being tracked and hadn't left any traces, and then flew back to Kyoto overnight.
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief only after arriving at his familiar dormitory.
Glancing at the time, the whole trip had taken about three days.
"Sigh, even though I struck it rich overnight, I can't forget my original heart!"
"Sustainable progress is the true way!"
Transforming into a liver emperor, Su Xing dove into the Spirit Field Blessed Land to prepare elixirs as soon as he returned to the dormitory.
Soon, several days passed, and due to time constraints, Su Xing managed to make only 3,000 elixirs.
Jin Congxue hadn't returned to Kyoto this week, so Su Xing took the new week's goods and went back to the Spirit Field Blessed Land to start a new simulation.
On the afternoon of June 24, 2024, New Era, Su Xing started the forty-second simulation right on time.
[Ding! This simulation costs 4,200 points of energy, remaining energy 510.86 million points, remaining simulations unlimited.]
[Drawing green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, drawing purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy, draw?]
"You think I'm a nobody? I have 500 million energy; just give me purple talent already!"
Su Xing snorted, looking quite wealthy.
However, reality delivered a harsh blow to Su Xing.
[Ding, unlocking golden talent lottery function requires a total of 1 billion energy and also costs 100 million energy to unlock...]
Upon hearing the simulator's prompt, Su Xing's face darkened.
"What the heck? Golden quality requires a total of 1 billion energy to unlock?"
Su Xing nearly passed out; that was 1 billion energy.
How long would it take Su Xing to save up that amount?
Showing a hint of sadness, Su Xing murmured:
"Forget it, I suddenly feel purple talent is not so bad... Draw purple talent!"
[Congratulations, you have drawn purple talent: Auspicious Star!]
[Auspicious Star: Your luck far surpasses that of ordinary people. You are a one-in-a-million lucky individual who doesn't need to check the almanac to go out, and frequently wins big. You could win the lottery eight times out of ten even if you do nothing but eat and wait to die; the goddess of luck will still favor you.]
When Su Xing saw his newly drawn talent, his eyes lit up.
Well, well, another luck-based talent!
And compared to the blue talent Good Fortune, purple-quality luck talent was obviously more powerful!
"Goodness, I'm really going all the way down the path of luck!"
"I just wonder how much better Auspicious Star is compared to Good Fortune?"
Su Xing's eyes showed some anticipation.
[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realized you were in a simulation.]
[You were in a good mood and decided to reward yourself with a spirit chicken egg fried rice.]
[Crack, you broke an egg, it's a double-yolked egg!]
[Crack, crack... You cracked seven eggs in a row, all double-yolked. You knew this was the wonderful effect of your new talent, and you almost burst out laughing.]
[You continued making elixirs in the Spirit Field Blessed Land; your luck was exceptionally good. Of the elixirs you made in a week, a full third were top-grade!]
[A week later, you met with Jin Congxue.]
[Jin Congxue brought you good news; she told you she had successfully obtained the mining instance dungeon contract.]
[Currently, they are recruiting mining profession users. It will officially start in less than a month, and alien metals will continuously be produced.]
[You felt very pleased after hearing this, so you returned to making elixirs.]
Seeing this, Su Xing's lips curved upwards:
"Tsk, tsk, a purple talent indeed!"
"Auspicious Star is much stronger than Good Fortune. It even influences business luck?"
Su Xing remembered that Jin Congxue had said it would take at least one or two more months to get the mining instance dungeon contract, but it had been settled in less than a month now.
