"Detected that the host is currently in a superposition state of life and death, fulfilling the necessary conditions for activating the simulator. Activating the simulator now."
"After the simulation, the simulator will grant rewards and lifespan based on the host's life's excitement, and archive the results to reality."
"Current lifespan: 0s"
In the dark starry sky, Zhang Jie's soul floated in a daze, the scene behind him frozen at the moment the spaceship exploded.
"Are you serious, bro?"
"I really crashed?"
He was just an ordinary office worker going to another star system for business! It was supposed to be a safe route, yet suddenly a group of blood-colored warships the size of satellites appeared and directly blew up the small spaceship Zhang Jie had bought with half a lifetime's loan.
"My ship!"
"Would the host like to start the simulator?"
The surrounding frozen spacetime seemed to have already given him the answer; he had no choice but to start the simulator.
Zhang Jie took a while to recover, finally confirming that he wasn't dreaming, and could only force a bitter smile.
"Do I even have a choice?"
"Start!"
"Startup successful. Next, 7 life entries will be generated for you. You need to select 4 of them, and you must select one negative entry."
The simulator whirred, and 7 entries of different radiance appeared before him.
"(S) My Body, A Blazing Inferno: When you are on the verge of death, your body will erupt with flames of life and will. It will grant you a second life! It will ignite everything! It will incinerate everything! (Comment: Burn it up!)"
"(A) Gene Hacker: You can hack into the genetic fragments of organic matter like a Cyber Hacker hacking into programs, and modify them. Of course, causing genetic collapse only requires a flick of your finger. (Comment: You can also become the most formidable geneticist.)"
"(C) Useless Prophet: You can accurately predict major events about to happen around you, but you cannot change them in time. (Comment: Told you it's useless.)"
"(B) Hannibal Pharmacist: You are naturally skilled at making medicine, especially good at turning people into medicine. (Comment: You're very good at making people.)"
"(B) Failed Art Student: You may not be an art student, but you definitely failed. After failing, your public speaking skills will be exceptional. Your words can always move people's hearts. You are born with excellent command abilities, and your arm is always raised at 45 degrees. (Comment: I'm coming to North Province.)"
"Negative Entry — Misfortune: You are the bane of all things. Everyone around you will die because of you, and eventually even the entire planet will be destroyed because of you."
"Negative Entry — disaster blood syndrome: You contracted disaster blood syndrome after coming into contact with Blood Calamity remains. Your blood will gradually gain life, eroding your body, incurable, and will worsen. (Under certain special enhancements, it can become a positive enhancement.)"
"What are these strange entries... And who wrote these comments behind the entries..."
"Choose four, and one must be negative."
"Tsk, not easy to choose."
Zhang Jie thought for a moment and chose "My Body, A Blazing Inferno" and "Gene Hacker". He decided against "Useless Prophet"; it really was a purely useless entry.
"'My Body, A Blazing Inferno' and 'Gene Hacker' are basically must-picks, while 'Hannibal Pharmacist' is more practical... I guess I just won't use people to make medicine. But 'Failed Art Student' could have a huge impact in some critical situations."
"However, for the negative entry, I'll still choose 'disaster blood syndrome'. I don't want to be a lone star of misfortune."
Finally, after much deliberation, Zhang Jie decided on: "My Body, A Blazing Inferno", "Failed Art Student", "Gene Hacker", and the negative entry "disaster blood syndrome".
"You in the simulator will lose all memories and begin a brand new life. If you have considered thoroughly, please choose to start."
"Start."
"I hope I don't have to be an office worker in the simulator..."
"First simulation has begun, codename: Blood and Fire."
As the words fell, Zhang Jie felt his consciousness being enveloped by a mysterious force and sucked into the simulator.
"One year old: You were born in Rong Country. Your mother is a research technician at a certain gene technology company, and your father is a retired Gene Warrior."
"Your birth injected new vitality into this family. You were different from birth; while other children cried loudly, you had a cold little face and would loudly 'wah-wah' when you saw people, as if giving a speech. Your parents had high hopes for you, wishing you great achievements in the future."
"Two years old: When children here reach their first birthday, they have an important 'grasping ritual'. It is said that what a child grasps represents their talent. Your father's good friend's family also came to join the fun, and not wanting to miss out, they also placed their daughter Lin Ran, two months younger than you, near you."
"You disappointed your parents' expectations. You didn't choose the genetic model your father hoped for, nor the 'daughter from another family' your mother expected. Instead, you chose a toy long spear. Your father was greatly mocked by his good friend, who called you a 'Sigma kid'. Your father silently made a mental note to settle the score."
"Two months later, your father seemed to want to get back at his good friend, and not wanting to miss out, he also placed you at his daughter's grasping ritual."
The little one opposite had bright, sparkling eyes, staring intently at Zhang Jie, making him feel a bit uneasy.
"Haha, Old Lin, your daughter seems to have taken a liking to my son."
"You're spouting nonsense!"
No sooner had he spoken than the girl reached out with both small hands, one grasping Zhang Jie, the other grasping an empty medicine tube next to Zhang Jie, and babbling at her dad.
"Hey! You little brat, let go!"
"Old Lin, don't struggle anymore. My son is definitely going to get your daughter, this cabbage! Haha!"
"Get out of here!"
"What, are you overjoyed? Look how excited you are, the happy part is yet to come!"
Zhang Jie watched his old man act like a scoundrel, leaning close to Uncle Lin.
"In the future, your daughter's children will have my surname!"
"Your uncle's face was as black as a pot, adamantly denying that his daughter had grasped you, claiming his daughter had simply made a mistake and that she definitely wanted to be a pharmacist. Your father mercilessly mocked him, and eventually, both you and your old man were kicked out. Yet, your old man was still shouting outside the door and was nearly cleaved to death by Old Lin."
"Three years old: Based on your grasping ritual results, your dad enrolled you in a children's martial arts class. At three, you can't really train much, just basic martial arts, building a foundation. You were very enthusiastic about martial arts, often saying embarrassing, passionate lines that frequently made the coach cringe so hard his toes curled."
"In this world, natural disaster creatures run rampant. People have developed Gene Medicine and created various Gene Warrior to resist these creatures. Martial arts can not only train combat skills but also improve physical fitness and willpower. Therefore, martial arts are popular in this world, and everyone wants to become a Gene Warrior. In thousands of years of struggle, only one country named Rong Country remains on this planet. They have established the Disaster Frontline to resist the invasion of natural disasters."
"In addition, there is also something called extraordinary creatures. Humans extract extraordinary genes from them and make them into Gene Medicine. As long as a person's will and body control reach a certain stage, they can inject Gene Medicine and become a Gene Warrior."
"Four years old: Uncle Lin's family lived just one building away from yours. Lin Ran often secretly came to your house to play, though mostly she would quietly watch you train from the side. The girl was not good with words, but she always liked to hand you a cup of her self-made, non-alcoholic special blend after you finished training. However, ever since you drank it once and were hospitalized for half a month, you never dared to drink anything from her hands again."
