I Will Transmigrate In 10 Days; Fortunately I Have A Cultivation Emulator-Chapter 4 - Besieged by Evil Ghosts

“Whether I walked through the mountains or traveled by the water, I died either way. Even if I went to the cultivation sects, somebody from either the righteous or the evil factions would possess my body. System, I might as well just stay in the small village and go nowhere else. This way, I’d finally be able to survive, wouldn’t I?” Zhao Hao said helplessly to the System.

[Ding. Host, please note that the starting point is the Novice Village. If you do not walk out of there, a heavenly tribulation will descend upon you after a month, and you will never recover from it.]

Zhao Hao accepted his fate. In order to survive after the transmigration, he had to plan out the perfect route.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hao listed down all the information he had obtained that day.

“There’s an untitled sword-fighting manual in the dwelling of Widow Zhang. I’ll comprehend several streaks of Sword Energy when I master it.”

“A bandit comes to the village on the fourth day. I’ll obtain an Iron-Slashing Sword after I kill him.”

“There is a small river on the edge of the village. If I drift along the river, I’ll enter a big river.”

“In the big river, there are monsters like big fish, water ghosts, and all.”

“After getting ashore from the big river, I’ll be in a wilderness where resources are extremely scarce, and I’ll be attacked by wolves.” 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

“At the end of the wilderness, there’s a small town. Two sects will be recruiting disciples there.”

“There’s an Evil God temple in the mountain. There are demons and an Evil God in the temple. They aren’t strong, and I can deal with them when I’ve achieved a minor success in my sword skills.”

“There’s also a team of evil ghosts carrying a coffin in the mountain. They didn’t initiate an attack on me.”

“I mustn’t let any cultivation sect find out about my Mahayana Holy Body, as they’ll definitely possess my body for the unique physique.”

…

After editing all the information in the notepad, Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction. He had collected a lot of information today, so he could rest now.

Zhao Hao slowly fell asleep.

In his dream, he successfully slew all kinds of immortals, devils, and gods with the help of the Cultivation Simulator and finally became Emperor Hao.

The next time the sun shone on his face, Zhao Hao had rested for the whole night. He got out of bed, ordered a breakfast takeout, and began to wash up.

While cleaning himself up, he said to the System, “System, start the Cultivation Simulation.”

[The Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]

[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]

[Currently available Cultivation Talents: “Tiger-Fighting Hero”, “White Strip in the Waves”, “Son of a Blacksmith”, “Apprentice in Alchemy” …]

There is not a single Red Talent, nor a Gold Talent. So, Zhao Hao just picked three talents at random.

[Mahayana Holy Body (Red Talent): All your basic attributes increase by 300. This is a unique physique that is rarely seen in a million years. It is the strongest sacred body in the martial arts world. Your aptitude to practice all kinds of Cultivation Methods is the world’s highest. Your attack power is twice the original attack power.]

[Tiger-Fighting Hero (Blue Talent): Your strength increases by 30. Injuries to tiger-like demonic beasts worsen by 50%.]

[White Strip in the Waves (Blue Talent): Your agility increases by 20. You can swim fast underwater. You can hold your breath underwater for up to 12 hours.]

[Apprentice in Alchemy (White Talent): Your intelligence increases by 5. You know a thing or two about the effects of herbs. Your success rate of making medicinal pills and elixirs is 1%.]

[The simulation starts now.]

[On the first day, you transmigrated to a small village at the foot of the Tianwu Mountain. You were determined to become a Great Cultivator and live forever. However, you knew that there were monsters in the ruined temple in the mountain, so you did not act rashly.]

[On the second day, you snuck into the dwelling of Widow Zhang, found the untitled sword-fighting manual, and started to focus on your training.]

[On the third day, you picked up the sword skills very quickly by virtue of your extraordinary talent. In just one day, you comprehended several streaks of Sword Energy and mastered the art of sword-fighting.]

[On the fourth day, a bandit came to raid the village. You killed him and obtained an Iron-Slashing Sword.]

[On the fifth day, you continued to practice your sword skills.]

[On the sixth day, you continued to practice your sword skills.]

…

[On the 13th day, your sword skills achieved sublimity. The village head told you that you were now a first-rate martial arts expert. You were thrilled, thinking that you could finally explore Jianghu.]

[On the 14th day, you went into the mountains with the Iron-Slashing Sword in your hand in the hope of gaining some practical experience. You encountered a team of evil ghosts in the mountains. There were 16 of them carrying a box. They surrounded you and attacked you. You were outnumbered, and you eventually died in the battle.]

[This Cultivation Simulation is over. You can permanently retain a Cultivation Talent and extract it into the real world.]

[The simulation has ended. Simulation Time: 14 days. System Cooldown Time: 14 minutes.]

“Eh, wasn’t it supposed to be a coffin like I remember? Why was it a box this time?”

Zhao Hao opened the note he created yesterday with some doubt. He confirmed that what he remembered was right, and he finally came to a conclusion after thinking for a while.

“Oh, and the village head. He’s a new NPC. I have to look into him…”

Soon, the takeout was delivered. After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Zhao Hao went out again. He wanted to try and collect some good Cultivation Talents.

After wandering aimlessly for a while, he found that most of the talents that he had collected in the ordinary crowd were Blue and White Talents.

Just when Zhao Hao was at his wit’s end…

[Ding! The Purple Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

“Eh? Purple?”

Zhao Hao’s face lit up. He looked up and found himself standing on an antique street.

“It’s an antique street? Can Cultivation Talents be captured from antiques too?”

Although it was a little puzzling, Zhao Hao did not waste any time and continued wandering around the antique street.

[Ding! The Purple Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Orange Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The Purple Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

[Ding! The White Cultivation Talent selection pool has expanded.]

…

He began to look happier as he became certain that these high-level Cultivation Talents were really captured from the antiques.

After wandering around the antique street without collecting any more high-level Cultivation Talents for a while, Zhao Hao let out a long sigh and walked out of the antique street.

Question: What was the first thing that a person who knew that he was going to transmigrate soon or that the city would soon be surrounded by zombies wanted to do?

Answer: To hoard cash and other resources, of course.

That was exactly what Zhao Hao thought and did. He cashed out all kinds of jewelry and gold bars and got 70,000 yuan.

It was still not enough for him. Zhao Hao went to various loan companies.

Whether there was a 30% or even more exorbitant interest, he took out all the loans he could get.

In just half a day, the capital in Zhao Hao’s hand went from a few thousand yuan to over 400,000 yuan.

He glanced at the Transmigration Countdown and saw that there were only two hours left before the reset, so he seized the time and took a relaxing walk.

Now that he had money, he strolled leisurely with peace of mind. Suddenly, there was a temple in front of Zhao Hao. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

“Eh, White Horse Temple? Isn’t this the oldest and the world-famous Buddhist temple in our country? But isn’t it supposed to be in Luoyang? Why is it here?”

After approaching the temple and taking a closer look, he saw a stone tablet next to the temple.
