Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Chapter 224: Chapter 158: Dao of Arrays Talent Genius, Talent Lottery Pool Mechanism (5k)

“Let me first see how much simulated energy this week’s goods are worth?”

Su Xing’s heart moved as he took out the storage ring that Jin Congxue had given him.

[Ding, detected white-quality equipment worth a total of 7.38 million energy points…]

[Ding, detected a large amount of energy materials worth a total of 8.97 million energy points…]

[Ding, detected a large amount of energy minerals worth a total of 13.04 million energy points…]

Su Xing did a quick calculation; this week’s goods provided a total of 29.39 million simulated energy!

Just the alien metals were worth 13.09 million energy points!

Nearly half of the total value!

“Goodness, these alien metals are indeed excellent materials for providing simulated energy!”

Su Xing exclaimed.

The alien metals in this storage ring were almost entirely first-tier alien metals.

One kilogram was worth about 20 points of simulated energy. A ton would be 20,000 points of simulated energy!

And the Tarot Commerce Association now had contracts for two mining district instances that could extract alien metals, meaning they could mine 650 tons of alien metals a week!

It sounded like a lot, but alien metals were dense, so they didn’t appear to be much in volume.

The main point was that this source of simulated energy was stable.

And the cost was very low; Su Xing only needed to pay the annual contracting fees for the two instances and the workers’ wages.

Moreover, these two alien metal mining areas were enough for Su Xing to mine for up to twenty years!

“Hiss~ looking at it this way, alien metals are indeed a major source of simulated energy!”

“Perhaps, I should talk to Jin Congxue… find ways to acquire more alien metals in the future, so as to obtain more simulated energy!”

Su Xing thought to himself, then turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

“The mining instance is not urgent, but it’s time to start a new round of simulation!”

On the afternoon of July 15, 2024, New Era, Su Xing started his forty-fifth simulation on time.

“Start simulation!”

[Ding! This simulation consumes 4,500 energy points, remaining energy 198,470,000 points, remaining simulation attempts: none.]

[Simulation starts!]

[Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 points of energy, a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Proceed with the draw?]

Su Xing did not hesitate, silently saying:

“Draw a purple talent!”

[Congratulations! You have obtained a purple talent: Dao of Arrays Prodigy!]

“Hmm? Dao of Arrays?”

Su Xing was slightly puzzled and looked at the simulation panel.

[Dao of Arrays Prodigy]: Purple talent, your comprehension of the Dao of Arrays far surpasses ordinary people, making it easier for you to become a respected master of the Dao of Arrays.

Seeing the new talent, Su Xing couldn’t help but remark:

“Goodness, really mastering every category of Dan, Instrument, Array, and Symbol? Now I’m just short of a talent for the Dao of Symbols, right?”

Su Xing couldn’t help but complain, feeling that the simulator’s talents were clearly pushing him towards being an all-rounder genius.

While this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, Su Xing’s primary focus at the moment was still the improvement of his cultivation level.

After his cultivation level was sufficient, or if the need arose, learning these auxiliary skills would also be beneficial.

“Hmm, no surprise that I didn’t draw a purple Spiritual Root talent… it seems that this time I need to figure out how to obtain more Spiritual Liquid.”

“As for this Dao of Arrays talent, let’s store it in the talent pool for now!”

Su Xing opened the simulation panel with a thought.

The original simulation text had turned into a vintage lottery machine.

This lottery machine feature was unlocked during the second simulator upgrade.

Specifically, Su Xing needed to spend a certain amount of points to enter different tiers of the lottery pool.

For example, drawing a white talent cost 100 points of simulated energy each time.

The aim was to draw the white talents Su Xing had previously obtained but hadn’t brought out.

Drawing a green talent cost 1,000 points, blue talent 10,000 points, and purple talent 100,000 points…

According to the simulator, if Su Xing entered the purple lottery pool, the probability of drawing any purple talent was equal.

Su Xing’s current purple talent pool had only a dozen or so talents, meaning even with bad luck, he could draw one out with just over a million energy points.

This wasn’t too harsh.

After drawing a former talent, Su Xing could designate it as a talent choice for the next simulation.

This way, after the simulation, he could choose to bring the talent out.

“However, the existing talents don’t seem to be useful at the moment; I’ll designate them when the time is right.”

Su Xing murmured to himself, then formally prepared for the simulation.

He turned his gaze to the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Cave, you realized you were simulating.]

[You immediately started setting up a Spirit Gathering Array to accelerate the accumulation of Spiritual Liquid.]

[A week later, the Spirit Field Cave began to produce Spiritual Liquid.]

[The quantity was small, less than 150 drops per day, but you still cherished it very much.]

[You received 1,000 drops of Spiritual Liquid weekly, and over the course of a year, it became more than 50,000 drops, which made you very content.]

[You planned to join the Descending Sect as soon as possible, so you concealed your aura and disguised yourself, heading to Shuangqing City in the southwestern province.]

[You were very lucky and soon found the Damned Zong.]

[After some manipulation, you successfully joined the Descending Sect and exchanged Life Extension Pills with the Damned Zong for a lot of herbs.]

[After joining the Descending Sect, you kept a low profile and contacted Luo Shuying, obtaining a large batch of spiritual medicine from her.]

[Then, you followed your usual cultivation routines and collected the Spiritual Liquid produced by the Spirit Field.]

[You once revealed a small bottle of Spiritual Liquid (about 10,000 drops) to the Damned Zong, whose eyes nearly popped out.]

[Clearly, from his reaction, you understood the value of Spiritual Liquid in the current age.]
