But now the biggest problem was, Su Xing's simulated energy was down to just 350 million.
Yet to bring out these two rewards would require more than 500 million energy...
"It seems I have to find a way to acquire more energy."
Su Xing furrowed his brows slightly but suddenly thought of something, mumbling:
"Speaking of which, more than a week has passed, the batch of high-rank exotic metals I gave Jin Congxue earlier should have been partially refined by now, right?"
With this thought, Su Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly called Jin Congxue.
"Hello, Sister Xue! It's me..."
"What percentage of the exotic metals I asked you to refine is completed?"
Su Xing asked with some apprehension.
Jin Congxue's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"About thirty percent or so, why, do you want to take a batch early?"
Su Xing nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said: "Yes, Sister Xue, I need them urgently for now..."
Jin Congxue thought for a while and then said:
"Alright, you come over to my place now, I'm just preparing to inspect a dungeon, we can go together and get the refined exotic metals while we're at it!"
Su Xing nodded hurriedly.
Afterward, he once again disguised himself and suppressed his aura, heading to the villa to meet Jin Congxue.
Under Jin Congxue's guidance, Su Xing soon arrived at a dungeon coordinate.
After showing their credentials, the two of them entered the mining dungeon.
Once inside the mining dungeon, Su Xing scanned the surroundings before habitually releasing his Divine Sense.
The area of this mining dungeon was not large, roughly only a few square kilometers.
Under Su Xing's Divine Sense, every detail of the mining dungeon was clearly perceived.
Thousands of low-rank Profession Users, their strengths ranging from bronze to gold level, were using special machines to refine and process alien metal ores.
In the warehouses and the open spaces, there were piles upon piles of unrefined raw stone ores.
Su Xing walked up to a large piece of unrefined mineral ore mixed with exotic metal.
With a thought, Su Xing attempted to absorb it.
[Ding, detected a small amount of simulated energy in the impure metal, worth 10,293 points of energy. Absorb?]
Su Xing did not choose to absorb it.
Because the energy absorption from unrefined ore was only half as efficient.
Even though it could reduce refining time, as extraction was all that was needed.
But for Su Xing, the efficiency of obtaining simulated energy was almost the same.
Of course, if Su Xing was willing to mine the high-rank exotic metal ores himself, the speed of acquiring energy would be much faster.
Soon, under Jin Congxue's guidance, Su Xing arrived at a warehouse and saw many refined high-rank exotic metal ores.
Su Xing placed all these exotic metal ores into his storage ring and followed Jin Congxue to the next dungeon.
After visiting six mining dungeons in a row, Su Xing finally bid farewell to Jin Congxue.
Upon returning to his dormitory, Su Xing resolutely entered the Spirit Field Cave.
He then prepared to convert the refined exotic metal ores into simulated energy.
[Ding, detected a large amount of energy-containing material, totaling 730,560,000 points of energy. Absorb?]
Su Xing's eyes lit up upon hearing this and quickly did some calculations.
The exotic metal ores sent earlier were roughly worth 2 billion energy after refining, requiring more than three weeks to complete refining.
Now that more than a week had passed, it was approximately a little over one-third completed.
"A total of over seven hundred million... Hiss~ the difference before and after refinement is indeed huge!"
Su Xing sighed and decisively chose to absorb it.
After absorption, Su Xing's energy reached an unprecedented height: 1.08102 billion simulated energy!
Directly exceeding one billion!
At the same time, the simulator's prompt sounded in Su Xing's ear.
[Ding, detected that the host's energy accumulated has reached 1 billion, initiating Life Simulator version 4.0 update. The updates are as follows:]
[1. Unlocking the golden-legendary-grade talent lottery function, costing 1 million simulated energy per lottery draw, with a one percent chance to obtain a golden-legendary-grade talent, and a ninety-nine percent chance for a purple-grade talent.]
[2. Spending 100 million energy points at a time increases the probability of drawing a golden-legendary-grade talent by one percent, with the current version maxing out at fifty percent.]
[Supplement Clause 1: If a golden-grade talent is not drawn each time, the probability of drawing one next time increases by ten percent, stacking this guarantee until a golden talent is drawn, then resetting the guarantee...]
[Supplement Clause 2: Note that golden-legendary-grade talents provide a significantly greater enhancement compared to purple talents, use them wisely...]
Su Xing carefully read the update clauses of the Life Simulator.
In a few short minutes, Su Xing's emotions rose and fell dramatically!
From excitement to cursing, then to relief...
The good news was that with the simulator update, Su Xing could now draw even more precious golden-legendary-grade talents!
And the draw was not expensive, costing only 1 million simulated energy per draw.
The bad news was, damn it, the thing was a probability lottery, with only a one percent chance of getting a golden-legendary-grade talent...
So, with the simulator's frustrating lottery mechanism, there was a high likelihood that Su Xing would spend a million simulated energy only to receive a purple talent.
The final good news was that there was a guarantee! And the guarantee could stack!
This meant that if Su Xing spent one million simulated energy the first time and only drew a purple talent.
Then the probability of drawing a golden talent next time would increase from one percent to eleven percent!
