Apocalyptic Wasteland Simulator
Chapter 57: Suspicion! The Increasingly Strange Simulator
CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57: SUSPICION! THE INCREASINGLY STRANGE SIMULATOR
[You originally wanted to make Major General Hu your next experimental subject, but considering he was the first devoted follower to be charmed by your words, you decide to spare him. After all, you can find many subjects for your experiments, but such an interesting subordinate is a rare find.]
[You instruct Ji Hongxiu to contact the Blood Beast Ban Headquarters and relay the news of her successful advancement to the Divine Transformation Realm. As expected, it wasn’t long before a message came from the headquarters, requesting Ji Hongxiu to return immediately and report in.]
[That night, you subjected Ji Hongxiu to a session of rough passion. You discover that masters of the Divine Transformation Realm have their perks: their bodies are delicate and supple, easy to push down, and you can take them in any position you please.]
[For a moment, you don’t want to be a god anymore. The extreme pleasure and mortal joys are intoxicating. The fox-eared beast girl was incredibly supple, but after the passion faded, you reverted to being a scumbag god—the kind who pulls up his pants and denies everything.]
[The next day, Ji Hongxiu parts with you reluctantly, and Major General Hu returns with her to the Blood Beast Ban Headquarters.]
[As for you and Black Demon Number One, a story was concocted for the headquarters: you both died from a viral infection. Now deemed worthless, there was no point in risking bringing potentially contaminated bodies back.]
[On Spirit Beast Island, you once again sit alone by the shore, casting a line with no bait. A good idea suddenly strikes you in your boredom, and you use your attribute points to hatch another purple parasitic seed.]
[Despite the constant feeling of weakness washing over your body, you remain happy. You enjoy the process of becoming stronger. You begin to train frantically, and during your periods of rest and recovery, your experiments never cease. The collection of your unorthodox potions continues to grow.]
[A week later, you discover a depressing fact: even for an omniscient god like yourself, it takes a full two weeks to recover your attributes. While this is absurdly fast compared to your human self, you are still not satisfied with this result.]
[You realize that even gods have worries and can become agitated when facing an uncertain future. You don’t know if Ji Hongxiu will act as you agreed, or if she will turn on you, leading a large force to annihilate you in your nascent stage.]
[Though her advancement was most likely thanks to you, you can never be certain of human nature. You can only hope she feels a sliver of gratitude for your "benevolence."]
"Are you even listening to yourself? You’re truly shameless."
Looking at the simulation’s text, Chen Pingchuan couldn’t suppress his indignation. He had tried his best to understand his divine self’s consciousness, but he still found it incomprehensible for a perpetrator to act with such an air of benevolence.
Is it really like the saying goes? That the shameless are invincible? No, a shameless god is even more invincible.
[The reason you think this way is because of your conversation with Ji Hongxiu. She told you that when a Beast Tamer reaches Level 6, they face a crucial checkpoint. If they can merge with their bonded beast, they can become a Level 7 Fusion Realm master.]
[For a Level 7 Fusion Realm Beast Tamer to advance further, they encounter an even greater barrier: understanding divinity. It is a concept both ephemeral and real, and every Divine Transformation Realm Beast Tamer must find their own path.]
[In terms of combat power, the difference is astronomical. Theoretically, a single Level 7 Fusion Realm master could crush a hundred-strong squad of Level 6 Beast Tamers, special circumstances aside. You still remember the strange look she gave you when she said this.]
[When a Level 7 Fusion Realm Beast Tamer successfully advances to the Eighth-Level Divine Transformation Realm, they can, in theory, no longer be classified as merely human, for they gain the ability to transform into fearsome, gigantic beasts.]
[A newly advanced Divine Transformation Realm Beast Tamer needs to return to headquarters to receive enough energy for themselves and their bonded beast to reach their complete forms, thus unleashing their full power. This is why you agreed to let her return.]
[Ji Hongxiu, the genius of her clan, had been stuck at the threshold of Level 8. You became the master key that, through continuous probing and insertion, finally unlocked her sturdy iron lock.]
[In the process, Ji Hongxiu sensed her own divinity—or perhaps it was a spiritual anchor or a form of spiritual energy. She didn’t know how to describe it, but in short, you had helped her.]
The simulator is getting more and more audacious. And could that Elder Ye Hu be a masochist?
Chen Pingchuan couldn’t understand how his divine self had helped Ji Hongxiu advance. If a few days of abuse were all it took to help a Beast Tamer ascend, then Eighth-Level Divine Transformation Realm Beast Tamers wouldn’t be so rare.
The reason Chen Pingchuan felt this way was due to a hint in the simulation: upon learning that Ji Hongxiu had advanced to the Eighth-Level Divine Transformation Realm, the Blood Beast Ban Headquarters had urgently recalled her. They didn’t even bother to confirm whether he and Black Demon Number One were alive or dead, nor did they send anyone to investigate.
Clearly, compared to Ji Hongxiu of the Divine Transformation Realm, Black Demon Number One was of vastly inferior value.
But something still feels off. What kind of agreement did those two make? Why is the simulator suddenly starting to omit information?
If he remembered correctly, the simulation had only ever provided more information since the beginning, never less. An anomaly like this meant something was seriously wrong.
So what could be the reason?
He didn’t look back at the diary. Ordinarily, things that happen for the first time leave a profound impression on the mind, like a first kiss, first love, or first intimate encounter.
He chose to continue the simulation, hoping more information would appear.
[Two months later, dozens of aircraft suddenly appeared in the skies above Spirit Beast Island, alarming every Beast Tamer on the island, including you. Such a massive show of force led the Beast Tamers to speculate about the identity of the sudden visitors.]
[There was another theory: that news of the Island Master’s death had been exposed. Although these Beast Tamers were your hosts, they still possessed basic reasoning. Therefore, everyone was worried—everyone except you.]
[The moment the aircraft’s hatch opened, a gorgeous woman in crimson gauze descended the gangway. Her bewitching appearance, combined with a terrifyingly powerful aura, forced all the surrounding Beast Tamers to their knees.]
[Seeing her familiar, beautiful face, a gratified smile spreads across yours.]
[Inside the interrogation room—a familiar scene, a familiar place, with a familiar person. You are sitting on the floor. Ji Hongxiu voluntarily strips off her crimson gauze, adopting the posture of a pet-like toy. She nestles into your embrace, whispering about her experiences over the past two months. Her warm breath washes over you as she tells you how much she missed you.]
[Ji Hongxiu has brought you three pieces of good news.]
[First: Having successfully advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm and absorbed sufficient energy at the headquarters, she can now completely abandon her human form and transform into a gigantic Six-Tailed Demon Fox.]
