Chapter 142: Resident Evil
After handling the matter of leasing the Qinglian Cauldron, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yixian each found a secluded cultivation room to enter closed-door cultivation.
With the help of the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Feng and his companions spent several days refining and purifying all the Dou Qi within their bodies.
Although they did not directly break through their cultivation, their total amount of Dou Qi increased by more than double.
Just as Xiao Feng was using the heartfire generated by the Fallen Heart Flame to refine the Dou Qi returned by his pet snakes, the cooldown period for his simulation attempts finally ended.
"Begin simulation!"
As soon as Xiao Feng willed it, the sixteenth simulation began.
"Ding! Randomly selecting a simulation world..."
Under Xiao Feng's expectant gaze, the words on the selection panel rapidly changed and finally displayed four large characters—Resident Evil!
"Ding! Please choose the simulation method!"
[Text Projection Simulation (No cost)]
[Body Projection Simulation (Cost: 10 million merit points)]
Seeing this, Xiao Feng slightly furrowed his sword-like brows and chose the text projection simulation without hesitation.
["Ding! Text Projection Simulation begins!"]
[Day 1: You find yourself in what seems to be a different world. Judging by the architectural style and the writing around you, it appears you've traveled to the United States.
While you're still in a daze, a commotion erupts ahead. A large Black man suddenly tackles a White woman to the ground.
You've heard before that Black people in America are notorious for looting, but you didn't expect them to be so brazen.
(T/N:….)
Soon, the Black man rises from the ground, his eyes white and his mouth covered in blood. A bad premonition suddenly forms in your heart.
The nearby police officers, seeing this, immediately empty their magazines on him.
In your terrified gaze, the Black man, despite being riddled with bullets, does not fall but instead charges at the nearest officer.
When you see the White woman he attacked rising shakily with a bitten, disfigured face, two words flash in your mind—Zombie!
Realizing what's about to unfold, you immediately flee without looking back.
Since you don't know where exactly you've been transported, you climb through a window and hide inside an abandoned house, barricading all the doors and windows with furniture.
You're in luck; inside the house, you find half a box of instant noodles, some cookies, and a few bottles of drinks and water—enough to last you a week.
As time passes, the world outside turns into a hellscape. Survivors are chased by zombies everywhere, their screams and cries for help constantly filling the air.
Peeking through the second-floor window, you observe the carnage, feeling a sense of helpless sorrow. However, you're too busy ensuring your own survival to think of helping anyone else.
Due to the barricades you've made and the distressing sounds outside, you're both mentally and physically exhausted, and you soon fall asleep.
When you awaken, it's already night.
Feeling your stomach growl with hunger, you open a pack of cookies and start eating, drinking a bit of soda as well.
Just as you cautiously munch on your snack, you suddenly hear a commotion outside. Curious, you sneak to the window and peer through the blinds.
You see a blonde beauty in a red dress fighting a monster over two meters tall that is wielding a Gatling gun.
Watching this somewhat familiar battle scene, you finally realize where you've been transported—Resident Evil.
If your guess is correct, the blonde woman in the red dress is none other than the film's protagonist, Alice.
And the monster with the Gatling gun is the Umbrella Corporation's bio-weapon—Nemesis!
Although you know following the protagonist might lead to better chances, seeing the intense firefight with bullets flying everywhere, you decide it's safer to stay a quiet observer.
Nemesis, with its overwhelming strength and tireless attacks, soon gains the upper hand, forcing Alice to flee. Their chase gradually disappears from your view.
Watching their distant figures, you offer a silent two-minute prayer for Alice, then continue eating your cookies.
After about an hour, the pitch-black night suddenly brightens as if it were daylight.
Damn! A nuclear bomb!
At this moment, you recall that the Umbrella Corporation dropped a nuclear bomb on Raccoon City to cover up its crimes, disguising it as a nuclear plant accident.
A heatwave rushes over you, reducing both you and the house you're hiding in to ashes. You're dead.]
???
Looking at the text displayed on the simulation panel, Xiao Feng's mouth twitched. He didn't even know how to complain about it.
This was probably the fastest he had died in a simulation—he didn't even survive the first day.
Simulation complete!
Randomizing simulation rewards. The following are ten potential rewards. Please purchase the desired simulation rewards before randomly drawing one.
[T-virus sample (Price: 10,000 merit points)][Alice's Telekinesis (Price: 20,000 merit points)][Small Nuclear Bomb (Price: 5,000 merit points)][Standard Police Car (Price: 10 merit points)][Standard Police Pistol (Price: 3 merit points)][Six-Barrel Gatling Gun (Price: 30 merit points)][Rocket Launcher (Price: 20 merit points)][Hand Grenade (Price: 10 merit points)][Gold Necklace (Price: 1 merit point)][Sexy Bikini (Price: 1 merit point)]
After carefully reading the reward descriptions, Xiao Feng immediately spent over 15,000 merit points to purchase the nine relatively inexpensive rewards. Then, using the free draw opportunity, he won the most valuable reward—Alice's Telekinesis.
"Use!"
As soon as Xiao Feng willed it, the blue orb representing Alice's Telekinesis turned into a blue light and merged into his body.
Information on how to use telekinesis appeared in his mind, giving him a clearer understanding of it.
In essence, telekinesis is a materialization of mental power. It allows invisible mental energy to become tangible and used for attacks. The stronger the user's mental power, the more powerful the telekinesis becomes.
In the Dou Qi Continent, there is a similar Dou Technique known as Soul Technique, which is extremely rare.
Although Xiao Feng is not an alchemist, ever since acquiring Freddy's abilities, his soul power has continuously grown, now rivaling that of a sixth-tier alchemist.
