191. The Seventh Simulation, Start!
Under Yun Ling's supervision, Kiana made rapid progress. Upon reaching the 'Dustless' realm, Yun Ling also handed her a copy of the 'Void Unity True Technique's Mental State section Chapter.
"The Sword Heart Technique we practice actually has certain flaws. This technique can remove these flaws and even strengthen them, essentially like adding a DLC into the Sword Heart Technique."
"It won't affect your Sword Heart cultivation, yet it will greatly benefit you. Furthermore, the subsequent Sword Dao Chapter also requires the help of this Mental State section Chapter. You should take it and practice it."
Kiana took the copy, her eyes filled with a hint of doubt.
"Does Mei have a copy too?" Kiana suddenly asked.
"No, cultivating the 'Mental State Section Chapter' requires the Sword Heart to reach the 'Dustless' state, and one must have the talent to learn Divine Essence to cultivate it. Currently, you should be the fourth person besides Aunt Lingshuang, Aunt Sushang, and me to cultivate this technique." Yun Ling shook his head.
"So, I can learn the Divine Essence?!" Kiana's eyes lit up, grasping the key point.
"Yes, if it's Bug, it'll definitely be no problem." Yun Ling patted her head.
Kiana looked at the imprint in her hand, feeling the warmth from above her head, a delicate blush rising on her face.
Even Mei hasn't done it… and she's on the same path as Yun Ling.
A sudden surge of pride rose in Kiana's heart, seemingly because she had surpassed Mei.
She lightly kissed Yun Ling to express her gratitude, then hugged him affectionately.
But then she recalled Bronya's words. Had Mei really discovered their relationship?
Was the look in her eyes when she looked at Yun Ling really that obvious?
"Alright, it's getting late, time to go back and rest. Don't watch for too long the first time; you'll get used to it after a while," Yun Ling reminded her.
"Okay, let me hug you a little longer," Kiana said sweetly.
"You're so clingy, just like a kitten. How about I call you Kitty Ki from now on?" Yun Ling suggested.
The two cuddled for a while longer before Kiana reluctantly parted ways.
"Um... I'm leaving, goodnight."
"Okay, goodnight."
After saying goodbye to Kiana, Yun Ling didn't study the 'Void Unity True Technique' today, but instead lay down on the bed.
Because a new round of simulations was about to begin.
After waiting a short while, the system notification finally sounded.
『A new round of simulation attempts has been issued. Please use them as soon as possible.』
"Start simulation."
『Randomizing talents... Please select four talents from the following.』
1. 『Dragon and Phoenix Among Men (White): Dual gender, innate male-female holy body. 』
2. 『Beyond Yin and Yang (White): Born without gender, you are who you think you are. Walmart shopping bags and armed helicopters are your choices.』
3. 『Pregnancy-Preserving Pill (White): You will not die in the womb.』
4. 『Ten Deaths Without Survival (Purple): You will definitely die at birth.』
5. 『Snake (White): You will not be bitten to death by snakes.』
6. 『Discontinuous Existence (Blue): You also possess other personalities.』
7. 『Exceptional Talent (Red): A genius among geniuses in any field.』
"Hmm? Interesting... What will happen if I choose 3 and 4?" Yun Ling asked curiously.
『Regarding this question, although I can tell you the answer, do you really want to hear it?』 The system patiently inquired.
"...Forget it, that wouldn't be interesting. I chose 3, 4, 6, and 7." Yun Ling chose the 『Pregnancy-Preserving Pill』 and 『Ten Deaths Without Survival』 talents without hesitation.
After all, he was genuinely curious about what would happen.
Is it purple covering white, or will some other anomaly appear?
Although he also chose the red talent of 『Exceptional Talent』, Yun Ling has become somewhat accustomed to it. After all, even with such a good talent, he might not receive it in the final reward calculation.
The best talents he currently has are purple: 『Power of the Demon Monk』 and 『Born to Fight』.
Therefore, Yun Ling has developed a rather detached attitude toward it.
『Randomizing identity: Engineer.』
『Seventh Life Simulation, Activated!』
...
In the delivery room, the doctor anxiously delivers a baby.
It's a premature birth, almost three months early, and twins at that! The chances of survival are extremely slim.
After several hours of surgery, a piercing cry rang out, yet everyone felt genuine joy.
But they still dared not let their guard down, because there was another child.
However, no matter how they called out to him, the other child seemed unresponsive.
He lay there quietly, his body gradually growing cold.
Years later, a beautiful child sat on the ground, fiddling with a pile of parts.
"Vill-V, it's time to eat."
"Wait!" Vill-V shouted.
Her fingers flew as she assembled the parts, but the pocket watch still wouldn't turn.
Frustrated, Vill-V could only finish her meal before continuing her attempt.
After a few hasty bites, Vill-V eagerly sat down in front of the pocket watch, searching for the problem.
[Take the pocket watch apart and replace the hairspring, and it will work.]
"?"
Vill-V looked around in confusion, but saw no one nearby.
However, she followed the voice's instructions, replaced the hairspring, reassembled the watch, and gave it a hard shake.
Sure enough, the pocket watch actually started to turn!
"Who are you?" Vill-V asked the air in confusion.
[Probably someone who's already dead?]
"..."
The voice answered.
"Dead? Can someone who's dead still talk?" Instead of being afraid, Vill-V asked excitedly.
[I don't know, but I remember I died right after I was born.]
"Wow! I heard Mom say that I had a twin younger brother when I was born. Was it you?" Velvet asked in surprise.
[It seems so...wait, why isn't it an older brother?]
The voice seemed a little fixated on who came first.
"Hmph, I said you're the younger brother, so you're the younger brother! Okay, little brother, I'll give you a name."
Vill-V took out a picture book and began searching for a name she liked.
"How about White Shadow?"
[Not good.]
"How about White Spirit?"
[I'm a boy.]
"Hmm...then how about this, Ling (Feather)! What do you think? Isn't it nice?" Vill-V said with a grin.
"Ling (Feather)...it sounds pretty good, hmm, spreading wings to protect the little sister, then let's call me Ling (Feather) from now on."
"I'm already said, I'm the older one!" Vill-V said, puffing out her cheeks.
"Vill-V, who are you talking to?" Her mother entered Vill-V's room, puzzled.
She found her alone.
"It's Ling!" Wilvie answered without hesitation.
"Ling? Who's Ling?" Her mother tilted her head, picked Vill-V up, and asked softly.
"Ling is my little brother! Mom, didn't you say I had a twin brother when I was born? He was just talking to me!" Wilvie replied.
Her mother's expression gradually darkened. Although she didn't believe in such supernatural things, Vill-V's words were still rather unsettling.
"Ling really talked to me, Mom, you have to believe me! Ling, say something too!" Vill-V cried anxiously.
[Mom won't believe it.]
"How could she? Mom will definitely believe in your existence." Vill-V looked at her mother.
However, what Vill-V was met with was her mother's deeply pained expression.
Following this, Vill-V was taken to a psychologist for a psychological evaluation.
The result was: "highly likely a schizophrenia case."
