Editor: Henyee Translations
[In the first week, you were born from an egg band. You came to this world and discovered that you had become a blue-spot Sea Hare.]
[Driven by instinct, you began to feed on seaweed.]
[In the second week, as you ate, your body size increased and blue spots appeared on your body.]
[In the third week, your natural enemy invaded your body. Your body secreted mucus, and you avoided a catastrophe.]
[In the fourth week, you ate!]
[In the fifth week, you reached maturity. Your biological instincts drove you to search for something!]
[In the sixth week, you found your own kind. They lined up in a single file and went into breeding. Instinct drove you to want to join in.]
[In the sixth week, as a hermaphroditic blue-spot Sea Hare, in order to reproduce heterozygously, you engaged in a duel with the leading Sea Hare to determine your gender!]
[Being disadvantaged in size, you failed, and became a female!]
[In the seventh week, you tried to escape…]
[You took the initiative to end the simulation!]
…
[Simulation failed!]
[If the simulation succeeds, you will be able to draw the following talents:]
[A Showdown (Gold)]
[Hermaphrodite (Purple)]
[Mucoid Defense (Blue)]
[Dorsal Anus (Blue)]
[Eating affects skin color (White)]
[Soft Skin (Gray)]
[Hidden Messages (unlockable after successfully surviving the breeding season)]
…
A gentle wind blew across the valley, bringing with it a hint of moisture.
At this moment, Zhao Meng, who was sitting on the stone platform, suddenly opened his eyes and panted heavily.
Listening to the familiar singing of the birds around him, he touched his butt and heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's great to be born a human!"
The simulated scene just now had given him quite a mental shock.
Just as he regained his senses, a masculine voice came from behind him.
[Your body has just recovered. It's not appropriate for you to sit here for long!]
When Zhao Meng heard the voice, he turned around and saw a middle-aged Taoist clad in Taoist robes with a solemn expression. He had arrived behind him at some point in time.
"Priest Qing Xuan!"
The Taoist swept a glance at Zhao Meng and shook his head.
"I've brought this month's rice!"
The Taoist placed the rice down and turned into a green light that disappeared in front of Zhao Meng. Looking at the Taoist's disappearing figure, Zhao Meng sighed faintly.
"Cultivation!
"Unfortunately, due to the limitations of this body, these Taoists are unwilling to impart cultivation knowledge to me no matter what!"
Looking at the mountain peak that appeared from the clouds, Zhao Meng did not complain.
After all, he was not from this world. He was just a person from another world who occupied this body.
Recalling his situation, Zhao Meng still found it unbelievable.
"I've been in this world for three months!"
In his previous life, he was originally a commentator at Nuwa Palace, a grade 5A scenic area.
Who would have thought that he would be so unlucky? While he was working, a statue suddenly toppled over and smashed him to death. Then, he mysteriously came to this world.
After he transmigrated, he became even more unlucky.
After coming to this world, he became the 17th prince of Zhao.
He thought that he could live a good life.
However, he thought about his predecessor who had infuriated Emperor Zhao with his words and was thrown to the Two-World Mountain.
From the memories of his predecessor, this prince with the same name as him, lived a miserable life.
Although it was said that he was guarding the mountain, he was actually exiled and imprisoned here. Basically, he was going to die of old age on this Two-World Mountain.
Fortunately, he was already alone in his previous life, so this loneliness was nothing to him.
However, every time he thought of such unlucky matters, he would wonder if he had offended Empress Nuwa. But he was not Emperor Zhou, so why did she have to punish him like this?
Just as he was thinking about his predecessor, the hunger in his stomach interrupted his thoughts.
"It's time to eat!"
Zhao Meng stood up and left the stone platform with the rice which had just been delivered.
Behind the stone platform was a tiled house. As the prince who had fallen into the troubled state of guarding a mountain, this humbled tiled house was his residence.
After returning to the tiled house, he took out rice to cook porridge. When the porridge was ready, Zhao Meng carried the cooked porridge to the room.
Here were some vegetables he had planted three months ago.
After this period of growth, some vegetables had already ripened.
Zhao Meng picked some vegetables and threw them into the porridge without washing them. Then, he carried the bowl back to the stone platform.
"That prince has fallen from a life of luxury to this state. No wonder he can't think straight!"
"However, from the memories which had been left behind, this prince's death is probably not as simple as suicide!"
Zhao Meng seemed to have vaguely detected something from the memories of his predecessor, but it was not clear.
When he just arrived in this world three months ago, this vague secret had made him uneasy for a period of time.
But after three months of peaceful life, the uneasiness in Zhao Meng's heart dissipated a lot.
As time passed, the clouds surrounding the mountain completely dissipated.
Zhao Meng, who had eaten porridge, looked at the magnificent scenery of the surrounding mountains and rivers. He could not help but sigh as he listened to the cries of unknown birds in the surrounding forest.
"If this isn't the Two-World Mountain, it would be a good place to live in seclusion!"
From the memories of his predecessor, Two-World Mountain was the boundary mountain between humans and demons. It was not a safe place.
"It's better to master as much power as possible!"
"Although I can't cultivate yet, there's still this strange simulation system!"
Thinking of this simulation system, Zhao Meng sighed helplessly. He finished the porridge and placed the bowl on the stone platform at the side.
His heart moved slightly, and a blurry human-headed snake phantom appeared in his mind.
"It's clearer now!
"It really is that person!"
This phantom was very blurry, but as a staff member of Nuwa Palace, he could recognize that it was the statue of Nuwa.
When he appeared in this world three months ago, this phantom appeared in his mind.
However, at that time, this phantom was very blurry, as if it was about to dissipate.
It was not until today that this phantom became a little more condensed that he entered the strange simulation system through this phantom.
"Looks like this is the reason why I transmigrated!
"But why me?
"Coincidence, or is there another reason?"
In his previous life, he was just a lowly commentator and was only a temporary staff member.
Moreover, many people knew the story of Empress Nuwa. Only when facing foreigners would they need a commentator like him.
"Could it be because I made some harmless jokes previously that attracted that person's attention?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng's heart skipped a beat. He carefully recalled if he had offended that person when he worked in Nuwa Palace.
Just as he was thinking about something, an extremely pleasant voice entered his ears.
[Do you want to start the simulation?]
Upon hearing the question, Zhao Meng finally came back to his senses and nodded in response.
"Yes!"
After receiving Zhao Meng's reply, the phantom slowly disappeared.
At the same time, Zhao Meng felt his surroundings fall into darkness. Then, a faint feeling appeared on his body.
It was as if his soul had entered a creature's body.
This was the strange thing about the simulation system.
There was no explanation, no interface.
As long as he used his consciousness to visualize that phantom, he would be able to enter the simulation uncontrollably and get the feel of the simulation process.
There was nothing he could do about it. With his current situation, he had no other choice but to rely on this strange simulation system.
At the thought of this, Zhao Meng no longer let his imagination run wild. Instead, he focused on the simulation.
The first creature he simulated was the blue-spot Sea Hare.
This creature had left him with quite a trauma.
This was because the blue-spot Sea Hare was a hermaphrodite.
But during the breeding season, Sea Hares need allogeneic reproduction.
But everyone was a hermaphrodite, so who would be the female and who would be the male?
Therefore, it was necessary to distinguish the male and the female. It was very easy to determine the gender. It was to use the attacking organ on the body to swordfight.
Whoever stabbed the sword into a vital part of the other party first would gain the right to become a male.
As for the losers, they could only become females and become spawning machines. They would die early after completing the spawning.
And the victorious male continues to sow his seed through sword fighting till he was defeated and became a female, be forced to reproduce and then died prematurely because of reproduction.
This was how cruel nature was. Zhao Meng had also experienced this cruelty in the previous simulation.
The Sea Hare he operated was defeated in sword fight and he became a female.
Although he was only operating an invertebrate which was soft and even a little cute, the phenomenon caused by this soft and cute creature that looked like a slug was not cute at all.
Fortunately, he could take the initiative to end the simulation early. Otherwise, this kind of immersive simulation would cause him quite a bit of mental trauma.
"Last time, it was because he wasn't big enough that the simulation failed! This time, it will definitely succeed!"
Zhao Meng perked himself up and began the simulation.
[In the first week, you were born from an egg band. You came to this world and discovered that you had become a blue-spot Sea Hare. Driven by instinct, you began to feed on seaweed.]
[In the second week, you continued to eat, you started to grow bigger!]
[In the third week, you ate! Your body continued to grow.]
[In the fourth week, you ate!]
[In the fifth week, you became sexually mature, but you restrained your instincts and did not join the breeding team!]
[In the fifth week, your body size had reached its limit. Eating could no longer make you bigger. You decided to join the breeding team again.]
[But as you approached other Sea Hares, your size attracted the attention of predators.]
[You were eaten!]
[Simulation failed!]
