6 Chapter 6 The Ambition of the War God of the Mortal World_1

Wang Ran felt like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Why was there no sense of tension in this simulation?

The entire style had changed!

The first time he simulated, he started off unconscious for a day, woke up to despair, indulged in hedonism, and was finally killed by a monster squeezing through a crevice.

This time, he was enjoying hot pot with the school beauty and even felt like singing.

Of course, he had every reason to do so.

Last time during the simulation, he relied on "Unwilling to Die With Aggrieve" to obtain valuable intelligence; he knew monsters couldn't move boulders and therefore couldn't threaten him in the basement.

A day spent in happiness was just like a day spent in despair.

There was food and drink in the basement, and a beautiful woman for company, why wouldn't he be happy?

Moreover,

he knew that the military was organizing a rescue operation!

All he had to do was survive until the operation began, wait for the military to distract the monsters, and with his Agility attribute as high as one hundred points, how could he possibly fail to escape?

Compared to the first simulation,

this time he made a qualitative leap in material conditions, mental preparedness, and personal strength!

The text continued to scroll.

"The second day, you fortified the basement."

"You used stones to block all crevices that could be used for attacks, leaving only one for ventilation, and placed a huge stone in front of it."

Fortifying the basement meant no sneaky monster attacks.

"Lin Ying started to feel affection for you."

Wang Ran's eyes lit up.

This time, Lin Ying's affection wasn't just a sudden emotional response due to a thrilling effect, but genuine fondness for him.

"That night, you enjoyed delicious self-heating rice meals."

"Lin Ying shared her life story with you."

"You shared intelligence with Lin Ying."

"Lin Ying, upon learning that the military was preparing a rescue operation, was greatly inspired and her fondness for you deepened."

Wang Ran's lips curved into a smile, and the text continued to roll.

"The third day, you heard a faint noise."

Wang Ran's expression immediately became solemn.

He had heard faint noises in the first two simulations; he knew they were the sounds made by monsters when they were close by.

The first simulation's noises were on the sixth day,

the second came two days earlier than the first, the tapping on stones had attracted the monsters.

This time the noises were heard on the third day!

Why so early this time?

Was the food too aromatic?

Did the monsters have a better sense of smell than hearing?

"You asked Lin Ying to keep quiet."

"You heard the faint noises linger around the basement for a few minutes before they eventually disappeared, and you remained vigilant for the next half hour until you were sure the monster had left."

Wang Ran's furrowed brow relaxed.

The monster might have discovered him, but the basement was sealed off by him, even if it was discovered, it couldn't do anything to him.

"You consoled Lin Ying."

"Lin Ying's fondness for you deepened."

"You no longer ate food that emitted odors, slightly reducing your living conditions."

"That night, Lin Ying kissed you."

Wang Ran couldn't help but swallow.

After two instances of deepened affection, Lin Ying actually took the initiative to kiss him.

The text continued to scroll.

"The fourth day, you wrote a love poem for Lin Ying."

"Lin Ying's fondness for you deepened again."

"Your phone received a text message about survivor registration; the drone carrying the signal station was hovering nearby. You could use the local area network to register your location."

"You successfully registered your position."

Wang Ran was stunned.

He had not received this message in the previous two simulations.

"You realized that, in the first two simulations, you had drained your phone battery early out of despair, which is why you never received this message."

Wang Ran had an epiphany.

In the previous two simulations, he felt that he was doomed, so he gave up on himself and used up his phone's battery way too soon.

Lin Ying might very well be the same.

Registration successful,

now all they had to do was wait patiently,

and entering the military should mean safety.

[Lin Ying Cried with Joy]

[That night, you slept in each other's arms]

In the simulator, Wang Ran and Lin Ying's relationship grew increasingly intimate.

Wang Ran felt somewhat sentimental.

He had seen people giving Lin Ying flowers, and Lin Ying wouldn't utter a word.

But in the simulator, he was about to win Lin Ying over once again.

If the apocalypse had happened as expected, he and Lin Ying would surely have ended up together, and it wouldn't have taken much effort at all.

If Lin Ying's admirers knew, they would probably be furious!

[Day 5, Lin Ying suddenly calls out your name loudly]

[You ask why]

[Lin Ying says she suddenly can't see you anymore]

[You discovered the trigger condition for "Cover-Ears Steal Bell", when you subconsciously don't believe someone is looking at you, then no one can see you]

[You realize no one can peep at you]

Wang Ran fell into deep thought.

He had originally thought that Disguise was an active skill, but it turned out to be a passive skill that depended on the subconscious to take effect.

[You shared some of your secrets with Lin Ying]

[Lin Ying's fondness for you deepened significantly]

[That night, under your initiative, something indescribable happened between you two]

Wang Ran had won Lin Ying over once again.

But this time it wasn't taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, nor was it a debauched revelry driven by the darker side of human nature.

Everything happened naturally.

[Day 6, Peace]

[You spent the whole day in indescribable stories]

The familiar plot played out once more.

Wang Ran smacked his lips: "It's a pity it's in a simulator, if only this were real."

Day six passed smoothly.

Starting from day seven, they broke the record for longest survival every day.

[Day 7, Peace]

[You spent another whole day in indescribable stories]

[Day 8, Peace]

[...]

[Day 9, Peace]

[...]

Waiting is tedious; one has to find joy amidst the bitterness.

Perhaps because of the significant improvement in constitution attributes, Wang Ran and Lin Ying spent several days in the simulator engaged in indescribable activities until they finally stopped on the tenth day.

[Day 10, after several days of intimate interactions, Lin Ying was completely devoted to you]

[You received a message]

[From the message, you learned that the military would launch a rescue operation at 5 a.m. the next morning, and you needed to prepare for evacuation in advance]

Wang Ran let out a long sigh of relief.

The number of days survived was sufficient;

the milestone mission could be completed!

Once this simulation was over, he would gain two additional Talent slots and one golden Talent!

Wang Ran's heart was ablaze.

What kind of golden Talent would I get?

I'm not asking for much,

just to be invincible would be fine...

Wang Ran muttered, "I've got to max out all my attributes before the apocalypse arrives; with the golden Talent, I'll become the War God of the Mortal World once the end comes..."

"Classmate, what are you doing here?"

Just as Wang Ran was envisioning his future, a soft voice drifted from the other end of the corridor.

Wang Ran lifted his head in astonishment,

at the end of the corridor stood a familiar figure.
