Chapter 96: Chapter 94 Weird Talent: I Can't Be the Only Unlucky One

Su Xing's old face turned red at her words.Although he had fought countless battles in the simulator, in the real world, he was still a rookie who had never seen a battlefield.

Being teased by Jin Congxue like this, Su Xing was at a loss for a moment.

But as someone with a thick skin, Su Xing quickly adjusted and pulled Jin Congxue into his arms, teasingly saying,

"Oh? So how does Sister Xue plan to help me out?"

Jin Congxue, suddenly embraced by Su Xing, was taken aback, her face flushing red down to her neck, looking adorably flustered.

Seeing Jin Congxue's panicked appearance, Su Xing feigned confusion and said,

"Eh, and here I thought Sister was quite experienced... Don't tell me you haven't tried it either?"

Su Xing deliberately teased her with a mockingly tight voice, making Jin Congxue even more embarrassed.

Jin Congxue, slightly shy, struggled out of Su Xing's embrace and hastily changed the subject,

"Ahem, the stockpiles from the other cities of Lingyun Commerce Guild have also begun to slowly be transferred over, but the quantity is enormous, so it's not easy to account for. I expect an even larger batch of goods will arrive next week..."

As she spoke, Jin Congxue handed over a storage ring, adding,

"This is the latest batch of goods, about six hundred thousand white-quality equipment pieces. You might need to wait another week for the rest..."

After hearing this, Su Xing nodded and said,

"I understand, after all, you can't get fat in one gulp. The real purpose of a commerce association is in the sustained and continuous income..."

Jin Congxue, surprised, gave Su Xing a look and teased,

"Not bad, Boss Su, starting to think like a businessman now?"

After hearing that, Su Xing chuckled and replied,

"Of course, who do you think I learned from?"

"Here, these are the five thousand Elixirs for this week..."

Su Xing passed the Elixirs to Jin Congxue.

After receiving the Elixirs, Jin Congxue issued an eviction order, saying,

"Ahem, now that business is taken care of... isn't it time to head back to school?"

Su Xing paused for a moment, puzzled, "Aren't you going to treat me to a meal?"

Jin Congxue's pretty face blushed as she said, "I wouldn't dare keep you, who knows whether you'll want to eat food or... something else."

Left with no choice, Su Xing headed back to school.

Taking advantage of being alone, Su Xing entered the Spirit Field Blessed Land, where the six hundred thousand white-quality equipment pieces brought him a full three million three hundred thousand energy points.

With this, Su Xing's energy points surged once again, reaching 9.2 million!

"It's just a pity that if it had been ten million points, I could have unlocked the Purple Talent..."

Su Xing sighed, but then reflected that what he urgently needed to improve now was his Alchemy Skills and Body Refinement Cultivation Level. Extracting a Purple Talent wasn't urgent, as waiting another week was also acceptable.

On the afternoon of March 10th in the New Era Year 2024, Su Xing promptly started the simulation.

"Begin simulation!"

[Ding! This simulation costs 2700 energy points, remaining energy points 9,200,888, remaining simulation times are unlimited.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Extracting a white-quality Talent costs 100 energy points, a green-quality Talent costs 1000 energy points, a blue-quality Talent costs 10,000 energy points. Would you like to extract one?]

"Extract a blue-quality Talent!"

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining a blue-quality Talent, "I Can't Be The Only One With Bad Luck!"]

["I Can't Be The Only One With Bad Luck"]: You are born under an unlucky star, sure to step in dog poop whenever you leave the house and even get food stuck in your teeth from drinking water. Your misfortune not only impacts you but gradually affects those around you as well.

After seeing this talent, Su Xing frowned slightly and said,

"Is extreme bad luck really a kind of talent?"

"Forget it, let's simulate and see how it goes!"

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you become aware that you are in a simulation.]

[You start making new batches of Nourishing Face Pills and Wound Healing Pills this week, but to your surprise, you, who could make them with your eyes closed, ended up causing an explosion during the Alchemy process. Although you are unharmed, the explosion still negatively affects your mood for Alchemy.]

[So you decide not to continue Alchemy for now and instead take care of the Spirit Plants. However, you water the Gathering Spirit Flowers with a shake of your hand, pouring half a scoop too much water, causing one of them to burst on the spot.]

[Feeling a bit down, you cook some Spirit Rice for yourself, but unexpectedly, you choke over twenty times during just one meal. As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, you almost die from choking.]

[Luckily, you are fortunate enough to have water at hand; otherwise, you could have been the first Nascent Soul Cultivator in history to die from choking.]

Su Xing saw this and black lines rose on his forehead.

"Damn it, this talent is just too unlucky... Seriously, a jinx from the stars?"

"The problem is, I also have the positive talent of good luck with me! Otherwise, I might face danger just walking on the street..."

Su Xing immediately felt a toothache, worried about the future of this simulation, but he continued with it regardless.

[Days of misfortune make you wary, and you become cautious in everything you do.]

[What's more upsetting is that in the following six months, due to bad luck, the development of your Tarot Commerce Association slows down, even verging on bankruptcy. Jin Congxue spends a great deal of effort to keep Tarot Commerce Association afloat.]

[Unfortunately, Jin Congxue, for being too close to you, also starts to become unlucky.]

[With no other choice, to avoid those around you from sharing your misfortune, you mostly stay in the Spirit Field Blessed Land by yourself, practicing Cultivation and Alchemy.]

[Until one day, the constantly yearned-for Wang Qingxuan finally found you. You were exceptionally delighted, hoping to bring your streak of bad luck to the Descending Sect.]

[After one night, Wang Qingxuan took you to meet an Elder of the Descending Sect.]

[What you didn't expect was that the Elder seemed to have taken an immediate dislike to you, hesitating over whether to allow you to join the Descending Sect.]

Su Xing, faced with this, felt a flush of embarrassment and complained:

"Damn it, when you're unlucky, even drinking water can get stuck in your teeth... they really might not let me join the Descending Sect?"

[Out of options, you had to slightly show off your Alchemy skills, proving that you could concoct Elixirs to enhance others' strengths, and you hoped to use this skill as a bargaining chip to join the Descending Sect.]

[In the end, the Elder agreed to let you join the Descending Sect. After all, Alchemy was indeed very useful to the Sect, and he felt compelled to admit you.]

[Because you revealed your Alchemy skills, you soon caught the attention of a certain Damned Zong in the Descending Sect, who wanted you to join his faction.]

[Naturally, you knew the game Damned Zong was playing; joining his faction would lead only to a dead end, so you made all kinds of excuses, delaying your commitment to join.]

[But you were just a new member of the Descending Sect, while Damned Zong was a mighty protector, against whom you had absolutely no chance of fighting back.]

[Just when you thought you had no choice but to betray the Descending Sect, Luo Shuying suggested taking you under her wing, into her faction.]

[You were overjoyed and joined Luo Shuying's faction.]

[The next day, you spoke the agreed-upon secret phrase to Luo Shuying, but due to your rotten luck, even she expressed doubt; it took considerable explanations from you before Luo Shuying finally believed you.]

[You informed Luo Shuying that your luck was rather poor, so aside from necessary interactions, you hoped to minimize contact with her.]

[Luo Shuying gathered all the herbs you needed, and you began concocting the Elixirs.]

[The following year, you'd provided the Descending Sect with numerous Elixirs, earning the appreciation of the higher-ups, and succeeded in being promoted to the rank of Elder.]

[However, what puzzled you was the fact that most Sect members who consumed your Elixirs ended up getting severely injured or dying on various missions.]

[Since joining the Descending Sect a year ago, rather than improving, the overall strength of the Sect had actually declined significantly.]

[Fortunately, no one made the eerie connection to you; you continued to take Origin Martial Pills daily for your Cultivation and studied Alchemy.]

[With the status of Elder, you enjoyed some freedom within the Sect and decided to explore the Luotian Meeting Instance in your spare time from Alchemy and Cultivation.]

Su Xing read this with some anticipation; was he finally about to enter the mysterious Luotian Meeting Instance?

But immediately after, Su Xing felt a bit worried.

"Damn it, with such bad simulated luck this time, won't I end up failing in the Luotian Meeting Instance?"

Su Xing reassured himself that the Luotian Meeting Instance posed no actual threat to one's life; there shouldn't be any problems.

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[Traversing mountains and rivers, you arrived in Kyoto, the very place where the Luotian Meeting Instance was located.]

[Just as you were preparing to enter the instance, the administrator informed you that the Luotian Meeting Instance could only be entered by one person at a time, and booking was required in advance; it was already booked up to a month later.]

```

[With no other choice, you could only schedule an appointment. A month later, you returned to the location of the Luo Tian Meeting Instance.]

[This time, you successfully entered the instance.]

[The next day, you emerged from the Luo Tian Meeting Instance with nothing but a muddled memory. You gained nothing else.]

Su Xing was taken aback upon reading this, a vein popping on his forehead, "Damn it, what does 'nothing but memory' mean? What exactly did I see in the Luo Tian Meeting Instance? Why would it skip the most crucial part?"

Su Xing felt somewhat helpless, realizing that to deeply understand this instance, it seemed he must use immersive simulation to find out what really happened inside.

Su Xing continued to read on.

[After coming out of the instance, when you wanted to schedule another simulation, you were informed that each person could only enter this instance once a year. With no other options, you could only schedule to enter next year.]

[There's still half a year until your next entry into the Luo Tian Meeting Instance, so you decide to make a trip back to the Descending Sect first.]

[Unexpectedly, on your way back, you became a target.]

[The individual who had their eyes on you came from the upper echelons of Great Xia. They knew that you were an Elder of the Descending Sect, an organization of traitors to the Human Race. You were personally captured by a Martial Emperor Level powerhouse and taken into military custody.]

[Faced with all sorts of torture and interrogation, all you could do was admit that you had joined the Descending Sect as an undercover agent in order to acquire resources from within to contribute to the Human Race.]

[The upper echelons of Great Xia did not believe this and demanded evidence, asking who your contact was.]

[Naturally, you didn't have any contact, after all, you were a genuine traitor of the Descending Sect at that moment, though you would betray the sect several years later.]

[To prove your innocence, you could only request a private meeting with Lu Yuanwu, because you knew that Lu Yuanwu could not possibly be a traitor to the Human Race.]

[You successfully met with Lu Yuanwu and handed over tens of thousands of Elixirs that you had accumulated over the year. After validating the effectiveness of the Elixirs, Lu Yuanwu was pleasantly surprised. He proposed that you join the Great Xia Military and promised you protection.]

[You turned down Lu Yuanwu's offer, because you knew you hadn't yet achieved your goal; Damned Zong was not dead, and you hadn't fully drained the Descending Sect of its remaining value.] Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Most importantly, you were worried that joining the Great Xia Military would bring misfortune upon them.]

[Hence, you proposed to cooperate with the Great Xia Military, providing them with a batch of Elixirs every three months. However, these Elixirs would only be taken after five years to prevent the discovery of your betrayal of the Descending Sect.]

[At the same time, you made your own demands: every three months, the Great Xia Military had to provide you with more than three hundred jin of Heavenly King Level Demonic Beast Flesh Essence in return.]

[Lu Yuanwu agreed to your request without much deliberation, as the Flesh Essence of the Demonic Beasts was precious, but it hardly compared to the Elixirs you could provide.]

[You successfully returned to the Descending Sect, and everything seemed normal. You continued refining Elixirs daily, but with the help of the Demonic Beast Flesh Essence, your Cultivation Level improved even more rapidly.]

[On the third year, you picked an auspicious day and once again arrived in Kyoto under the escort of Luo Shuying, this time prepared to explore the Luo Tian Meeting Instance again!]

[After communicating with the instance manager, you were about to enter the Luo Tian Meeting Instance.]

Su Xing hastily chanted to himself:

"I want to perform immersive simulation!"

[Ding! You have successfully initiated immersive simulation, consuming 100,000 energy points. Simulation time: one hour. Remaining energy: 9,098,888 points!]
