He had no personal connections with the Baili family, it was purely a business relationship.
Su Xing just happened to be worried about a shortage of energy recently. Helping the Baili family this time would surely come with a hefty reward.
Glancing at the time, the simulator's cooldown was almost over, and Su Xing nodded:
"Enhancing strength after this simulation and then going wouldn't be too late..."
Converting the week's new goods into simulated energy, Su Xing's simulated energy reached around 230 million.
On the afternoon of October 21, 2024, in the New Era, Su Xing promptly initiated the fifty-eighth simulation.
"Start the simulation!"
[Ding! This simulation consumes 5800 energy points, remaining energy 231.33 million points, remaining simulations unlimited.]
[Extracting a Purple Talent costs 100,000 energy points, extracting a Golden Legendary Talent costs 1 million energy points, proceed with extraction?]
"Extract Golden Talent!" Su Xing didn't hesitate.
[Ding! Congratulations on extracting the Purple Talent "Second Wind." Your chance of extracting a Golden Talent next time is 45%...]
["Second Wind"]: Purple Talent, when your stamina is exhausted, you can regroup, get a second wind, and recover fifty percent of your stamina in a very short time. (Darling, I might be a little tired lately...)
As expected, he still drew a Purple Talent. However, Su Xing's chance of drawing a Golden Talent had now approached fifty percent.
Presumably, the probability will only keep increasing.
"Second Wind... This talent seems kind of interesting!"
Su Xing rubbed his chin, analyzing the newly drawn talent.
"Basically, it means... after exhausting my stamina, I can recover half of it quickly?"
After careful analysis, Su Xing shook his head slightly.
Currently, for him, strength composition wasn't just about stamina, but also included spiritual power, origin force, and so on...
Moreover, this "Second Wind" talent seemed to be applicable when facing opponents of equal strength.
When both sides exhausted their stamina, Su Xing would have half more stamina, naturally ensuring an easy victory.
Yet the enemies Su Xing encountered in the simulator—True Person Wan Mu, Dragon Protector, Slaughter Angel Envoy—these guys were far stronger than Su Xing.
Even if he regained half his stamina, it would just mean getting trampled again...
For weaker enemies, Su Xing wouldn't need this talent; for scenarios where he would need it, he still couldn't beat the enemies.
"For now, it's a bit of a letdown... but this talent might come in handy later..."
Su Xing thought, turning his gaze to the simulation panel.
[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.]
[After disguising and concealing your breath, you headed to Guang Province.]
[Late that night, you arrived at the Baili Mansion.]
[Your divine sense swept over the Baili Mansion, discovering only two Martial Emperor-level experts, and surprisingly, the old master of the Baili family wasn't in the mansion.]
[You were puzzled and went to Baili Qi's room.]
[Upon seeing you, Baili Qi broke down in tears.]
[He pleaded with you to save his father and gave you several rings filled with instance dungeon items.]
[You did not accept the items but instead asked him what had happened.]
[In a panic, Baili Qi explained the situation to you.]
[It turned out that after Baili Tu extended his lifespan, he aimed for another breakthrough, trying to advance from a Heavenly King-level profession user to a Martial Emperor-level.]
[To achieve this, Baili Tu spent considerable effort, finding a simple Martial Emperor-level instance dungeon, hoping to complete the advancement task and become a Martial Emperor-level expert.]
[Moreover, to prevent any accidents, Baili Tu brought along Fu Bo, who was already a Martial Emperor-level expert.]
[He thought everything was set, but it had been almost three days since the old master of the Baili family entered the dungeon without returning.]
[Having no other options, Baili Qi contacted you.]
Su Xing frowned slightly upon seeing this.
For a Heavenly King-level profession user to advance to Martial Emperor-level, besides maxing out their experience level, the most crucial part was completing the advancement dungeon.
Leveling up wasn't particularly hard; a typical Heavenly King-level profession user could grind instance dungeon experiences for a decade or two and manage it.
For someone of Baili Tu's high status, with high-level profession users aiding in leveling, reaching the peak of the Heavenly King level could take only a couple of years.
But the advancement dungeon was the real challenge!
The difficulty of advancement dungeons varied greatly. Completing a simple advancement dungeon could make one a Martial Emperor-level expert, but they would be the weakest kind, never likely to become legendary thereafter.
Still, those dungeons were less challenging!
"With the equipment and treasures on the old master of the Baili family... and plus a Martial Emperor-level profession user as protection, there shouldn't be any mishaps?"
Su Xing murmured, frowning and feeling a sense of curiosity.
He turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[You decided to investigate what exactly happened to the old master of the Baili family.]
[You got the coordinates of the advancement dungeon from Baili Qi and arrived outside the dungeon.]
[From Baili Qi, you learned the dungeon was called "Frozen Fate."]
[This dungeon seemed to be a temporary one, likely to close in a few days.]
[You entered the dungeon, and upon entry, you felt a chill.]
[Frowning slightly, you continued onward. The deeper you went into the dungeon, the colder it became. The temperature had dropped to over a hundred degrees below zero.]
[With howling snow and wind around, visibility was severely limited.]
[Looking around, all you saw was ice and snow. In such harsh weather, even a Heavenly King-level expert would struggle to survive.]
[Thankfully, your divine sense had a vast range. You released your divine sense, sensing every corner within thirty thousand feet with utmost clarity.]
