One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

["Old man, didn't you say there was no rice at home? What's this?"]

["I borrowed some from a neighbor. That's just how life is—today I borrow a bit to get through hard times, and tomorrow you'll borrow some from me, right?"]

The old man was skin and bones from malnutrition, yet the smile on his face remained so optimistic and cheerful.

You raised a hand and casually activated "Unlimited White Porridge."

A porcelain bowl materialized out of thin air, then thick, viscous porridge slowly emerged from the bottom of the bowl.

The old man's eyes bulged so wide they looked ready to pop out.

["Th-this… how is this possible?"]

["Old man, I'm a cultivator."]

["Oh, right, right! This is one of those celestial arts you cultivation people use!"]

["I, I just ate, I'm not hungry… you have some yourself."]

You grabbed the old man's calloused hand and placed the bowl of porridge in it.

["Eat. I still have plenty."]

You conjured another bowl.

You noticed that between the two bowls, you had to wait a few seconds before generating another one.

Although the cooldown was very short, using this trait tag to instantly create an ocean of plain porridge and drown an enemy was impossible.

After the old man drank your porridge, his complexion immediately turned rosy.

["As expected of something made with celestial arts—this porridge feels completely different from regular plain porridge!"]

You also drank a bowl.

Once the porridge went down, you could feel it transforming into abundant physical strength, rapidly surging through your limbs and bones.

At the same time, the wounds on your body began to tingle, as if the healing speed had also accelerated.

You hadn't noticed such a significant effect when you drank this before, probably because your physical condition was better then, and the porridge's benefits weren't as noticeable.

Seeing this, the real-world Chen Yi also had a bowl.

After drinking it, he didn't feel a very obvious effect either.

But he could indeed sense some spirituality within it.

"It's not just plain porridge—there's a little extra benefit."

After all, it was a Prismatic Mythical trait tag, so its effects were quite rich.

[The father and daughter, who hadn't had a full meal in a long time, finally drank porridge until they were stuffed.]

[They wore happy smiles on their faces.]

[Looking at the pile of porcelain bowls on the table, the young woman spoke sheepishly.]

["Immortal, do you still need these bowls?"]

["Don't call me immortal. My name is Chen Yi. If you want the bowls, take them. I have plenty more."]

["These bowls are so exquisite. Maybe I can sell them at the market and use the money to buy you some medicine for your injuries."]

["My injuries will heal on their own. If you can exchange them for money, keep it for yourselves. Consider it my thanks."]

["Oh no, we wouldn't dare!"]

[While they were drinking porridge earlier, you asked them some questions.]

[This place is called Liu Family Village, a human settlement.]

[The old man's name is Liu Tian, and his daughter is Liu Ying.]

[You took a stroll around the village.]

[You realized this was the village you had seen from the dirt slope earlier, the one with a large river beside it.]

[After you fell into the water, you hadn't drifted long before Liu Ying, who was washing clothes by the river, spotted you. She jumped into the water and dragged you to shore.]

["Don't tell anyone about me being able to make porridge for now. I've noticed every household in this village is poor, and no one gets enough to eat. Until my injuries recover, I don't want this to attract greed and bring trouble to you."]

[The Liu father and daughter nodded repeatedly in agreement.]

[When the conversation turned to the village's poverty, Liu Tian couldn't help but sigh.]

["The crops grown in the fields were all taken by the church people. All that's left for us are scraps and leftovers. Naturally, no one in the village gets enough to eat, and people often starve to death. Sigh…"]

["Church? What's that? Shouldn't it be the imperial court collecting taxes?"]

["Imperial court? What's that?"]

[The political system of this place seems completely different from the human world.]

[Liu Tian told you that the church he mentioned was the Winged God Church, the ruling class of Fortune Star.]

[The leader of the Winged God Church was also the star lord of Fortune Star.]

["You know this is a planet?"]

["Immortal Chen must be joking. Everyone knows that."]

["And beyond the planet is… the universe?"]

["Of course."]

[Actually, back in the Fourth Simulation, you had already glimpsed a corner of the Real Realm through the spatial rift Ji Wuqing had opened.]

[Unlike the Void Realm's plane-based worlds, the Real Realm was a vast universe!]

[It had galaxies, nebulas, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies.]

[Just like the Earth world from your past life.]

[What surprised you was that even these impoverished people had basic astronomical knowledge.]

[Liu Tian told you that the Winged God Church members had mentioned these things while spreading their teachings, so even those who had never attended school knew about them.]

["Uncle Liu, do you know what 'third-class star' means?"]

[The old hag who robbed you had mentioned that term.]

[You suspected it had something to do with Fortune Star lacking Immortal Qi.]

[Unfortunately, this fell outside Liu Tian's knowledge.]

[Year seven, age thirty-one.]

[Extracting trait tag…]

[Extraction successful!]

["Wolverine" (Gold Legendary):

Eternity is a curse.

Warrior, you have obtained the ultimate self-healing ability, so powerful that your cells cannot age. Thus, your appearance will forever remain youthful, and all bodily functions will stay in their prime.

Additionally, you can control the bones in your body, turning them into your weapons. As long as you can endure the pain of broken bones—they'll heal anyway.

The self-healing ability cannot withstand fatal injuries of too great a magnitude (such as being blasted into a mist of blood, left with only bones and no flesh), nor situations that might split you into two individuals (such as being cut in half or beheaded). It also cannot heal soul damage.]

[Would you like to adjust your trait tags?]

[Yes/No]

"Still, a pillow arrives just when you're feeling sleepy. The Real Realm's rules are too harsh—even Martial Gods can get injured up there. With this trait tag, I can play the wheelchair playstyle again!"

Although there were still fatal scenarios, the physical strength of the Qi Transformation realm wasn't made of paper either. Suffering that level of injury wouldn't be easy.

The effect attached to this trait tag meant "Ageless Male God" wouldn't get its chance to shine.

In future simulations, Chen Yi would forever appear as a young adult.

[You chose Yes.]

[You replaced "Serious Punch" with "Wolverine."]

Every era has its god, and every era uses "Serious Punch."

But now, due to limited equipment slots, Chen Yi decided to temporarily swap out "Serious Punch."

This high-stat trait tag, which only worked on basic attacks, was of limited use for now.

Against weaklings, it was unnecessary.

Against strong opponents, landing a basic attack on them was very difficult to achieve in the Real Realm.

Because everyone's speed and power levels were suppressed by the Real Realm's more rigid laws of heaven and earth at their current cultivation realm.

It was hard to achieve what was possible in the human world, where a burst of speed felt like teleportation, easily closing in for a face-to-face attack.

Just like with that old hag earlier—after fighting for ages, she couldn't even touch your windbreaker.

When you became stronger in the future and could go toe-to-toe with someone as powerful as that old hag, engaging in close-quarters combat, it wouldn't be too late to swap this divine-rank green trait tag back in.
