Emulator: Opening Talent Super Gigolo

Borrowed Money Isn’t Counted

When encountering such danger, Lin Chang`an’s first thought wasn’t to evade. But rather…it was money!

Every time he simulated, he needed $1,000. However, his ways to earn money were pitifully few in comparison.

According to the regulations of Qindao City on rewards and guarantees for courageous acts and punishing crimes, apprehending a wanted criminal could allow one to have a government reward ranging from $10,000 to $100,000.

Apprehending a criminal meant that he could undergo ten or even a hundred times of simulation!

Hence, he naturally wanted to try apprehending this criminal.

If Lin Chang`an was to say what he was the clearest at, that would be the ways to earn money.

Other than the various regulations, he had thoroughly studied the entire criminal law in an attempt to find some loopholes.

But sadly, he failed.

At this moment, when he recalled the laws he had read about before, Lin Chang`an felt that he couldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

It was too difficult for the current him to earn money using other ways.

He had worked for three years, and his monthly salary was merely $2,000.

After deducting the basic expenses, it would be a challenge for him to save the remaining few hundred dollars.

In other words, he had to work for a few months before he could simulate once.

However, if he managed to capture this criminal, he would be able to simulate at least ten times.

Hence, he chose the second option, and the qi and blood in his body instantly started churning!

A vast surging power caused Lin Chang`an to feel alarmed in his heart. There seemed to be waves of blood appearing inside his body as they roiled and churned intensely!

“Is this the majestic feeling from having over 400 points in the qi and blood value? This realm is really much more fearsome!”

One could only become a first-realm cultivator after having 1,000 points in their qi and blood value!

He then forcefully suppressed it. Even the clothes he was wearing were about to explode instantly!

His body became scorching hot.

A moment later, he groaned and exhaled a breath of air, causing the water in the cup before his eyes to start boiling!

This was the terrifying heat brought about by the majestic aura of qi and blood that leaked out!

He glanced at the system interface again.

Name: Lin Chang`an

Qi and blood value: 455

Mental energy: 277

“It seems that every time I enter a simulation, my mental energy will increase by one point.”

“However, the leakage of qi and blood is too wasteful.”

He didn’t care about these and continued with the simulation.

[Simulation starts!]

[You agreed to the subservience contract and went with Su Xi`er to meet her mother.]

[On the way, she tried all sorts of reasons to persuade you, but you remained unmoved.]

[...]

[Very soon, you arrived at the wealthy suburb and Su Xi`er swiped her entry card.]

[You immediately noticed a wanted criminal who had disguised himself as a security guard.]

[Before he could act, you already attacked!]

[His face was filled with astonishment, and he was caught unawares from your punch, causing him to cough up large mouthfuls of blood. After that, his expression turned malevolent, and he took out a dagger to stab your chest.]

[You struggled to evade but were still injured.]

[The two of you were entangled in an intense battle. You died.]

“455 qi and blood value still cannot make it?”

Lin Chang`an touched his chin. “It’s fine!”

[Simulation has ended, please choose one of the rewards.]

[One: Unflustered in Danger Talent. (E-Grade talent, you are slightly calmer than others.)]

[Two: Cultivation realm at the time of your death (Qi and blood value: 455)]

[Three: Combat experience at the time of your death (insignificant fist art)]

[Four: Cultivation insights at the time of your death. (No cultivation insights)]

[Five: A partial memory fragment.]

There was a slight improvement and change in his combat experience because he had struggled intensely this time around.

That insignificant fist art was probably the experience he had gained during combat.

Hence, he didn’t hesitate and chose to increase his cultivation once again.

He, who had 455 qi and blood value, already possessed the strength to tussle with the criminal. If his strength doubled again, it should be very easy for him to achieve a counter-kill, right?!

The surging qi and blood once again flooded forth within his body. But this time around, Lin Chang`an evidently found it somewhat difficult to control.

According to the theory of cultivation, things would be dangerous if one’s qi and blood value surpassed their mental energy by four times.

Now, he was already approaching the limit.

The blood roiled chaotically in his body and intense pain suffused his heart.

To ordinary people, it was simply too dangerous to have such a terrifying improvement within such a short time.

Firstly, it would be easy for the person to lose himself. Secondly, before one gained full control, they wouldn’t be able to accurately move their body.

At this moment, thunderous rumbling echoed out from within his blood, reverberating through his body.

A long time later, his body shuddered!

An unprecedented feeling of strength gushed forth.

His qi and blood value reached 862 points!

Hence, a sense of surrealism appeared in his mind. This was a qi and blood value that he wouldn’t even dare to imagine in his dreams.

In the end, he merely attempted a few simulations and achieved such improvements!

He felt that a single punch from him would at least contain a few thousand kilograms worth of force!

In his entire class, he most probably was number one!

“I don’t have to worry about the entrance college examination anymore! Given my current qi and blood value, if I unleash my potential properly, there shouldn’t be any problem for me to enter a C-Grade Academy.”

Lin Chang`an felt unprecedentedly relaxed.

In the past, he had been feeling fear with regard to the possibility of being forcefully paired up. But now, he finally didn’t need to worry about this.

He glanced at the system interface.

Balance: 52.

“I don’t have enough money to continue with the simulations, but I can no longer continue to choose the cultivation reward, or I might lose control due to insufficient mental energy.”

455 qi and blood value allowed him to struggle intensely with the criminal.

Now that he had 862 qi and blood value, it would be illogical if he couldn’t kill the criminal.

Even if he couldn’t do so, there shouldn’t be a problem for him to protect himself.

Moreover, according to the information from the simulations, the police would arrive very fast. He couldn’t possibly fail to endure until the police’s arrival, right

His mind then recalled the relevant knowledge about cultivation and combat.

[Three years of combat, five years of simulation], [Starting from Zero, Learning Combat], [Three sentences that will teach you how to fight!]...

What was taught in classes were all these basic martial skills. They weren’t very useful to build his foundation, and the might they produced was minuscule.

But right now, they were the only martial skills that Lin Chang`an had come in contact with.

If I could simulate once more, I would choose to gain the combat experience reward, so my chances of success would be greater.” f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He touched his pocket that had truly run out of money.

He then thought about borrowing $1,000 from Su Xi`er.

“Why do you need the money?” As she spoke, Su Xi`er passed a wad of cash to Lin Chang`an.

In the end, when Lin Chang`an stuffed them into his pocket, he discovered that the balance shown by the system didn’t change.

The balance was still $52.

“As expected, borrowed money doesn’t count… Only money that belongs to me can be used for simulations.”

Lin Chang`an wasn’t discouraged. He had expected this.

If borrowing money could work, he would immediately go and borrow an unsecured…forget it, he wouldn’t touch unsecured loans.

At the very least, he was still a transmigrator.

After that, he returned the cash to Su Xi`er, and his actions caused her to feel befuddled.

Lin Chang`an then returned to his room and looked at the punching force machine there.

“In order to minimize the chance of failure, I should train more!”

He closed his eyes and sensed his churning qi and blood.

After that, he drew in a light breath and adjusted his posture.

He then punched out with a fist, and a huge boom rang out!

As the punching force machine trembled a few times, it revealed a flickering number: 492.

“This won’t do. My usage of qi and blood is too poor!” Lin Chang`an shook his head.

This number was ridiculously lousy.

Logically, an ordinary person could unleash combat strength similar to their qi and blood value, while powerful cultivators could erupt forth with tens of times the force of their own qi and blood value.

Since that was the case, this combat strength before his eyes would only be displayed by students who had never experienced anything before.

However, this was very normal.

The increase in his qi and blood value was so much that any ordinary person would absolutely not be able to control it.

Lin Chang`an silently recalled his punch earlier. After that, he shifted his posture once more and drew out his qi and blood by unleashing another punch.

The punching force machine displayed a number: 567!

“It seems that my comprehension is still passable…”

This time, his usage of qi and blood was better by quite a bit. However, it was still far from sufficient.

Lin Chang`an then sank into his thoughts once again before throwing out a punch.

He continued punching the machine before him.

599, 604, 617, 614…

Every fist he threw out would gain him new comprehension and insights.

According to the numbers shown by the punching force machine, Lin Chang`an continuously adjusted his punches and techniques to draw out his qi and blood.

…

At this moment, in the Wanxiang Future Zone, within the wealthy suburbs of Qindao City.

The security guards were transferring shifts.

“When you see the residents, remember to greet them. Two days ago, there was one who didn’t greet them and that person got fired.”

“Mn.” A man as skinny as a monkey nodded.

A bright light flashed in his eyes.

His gaze warily peered into the distance. “Who would have thought that the wife and daughter of the mighty Su Clan’s second master would actually come to such a small place like Qindao City…”

But this was good. It gave him the chance to ‘upgrade’ his life.

Right now, in the entire Qindao City and surrounding areas, he was the only one from his faction.

“As long as I succeed, I will be able to enter the branch.”

He started patrolling and soon finished circling the suburbs once.

In his hands, there was a poisonous substance from his superior. It was enough as long as he simply applied poison.

If there was a possibility of success, he could take the risk and try killing someone.

Mother Su was a legitimate cultivator, but Su Xi`er still wasn’t one.

In any case, a wonderful career of darkness was right before his eyes!
