49: Chapter 49 The Nineteenth Birthday, A Golden Legend

Time flew by, and eight months passed.

There were still over three months left until the cooldown for the Life Simulator ended.

Today was a special day for Tang Xun.

—His nineteenth birthday.

This also meant that his once-a-year trait extraction opportunity in the real world had arrived again.

"I wonder what kind of thing I'll be able to extract this time."

Tang Xun sat cross-legged on the stone bed, his heart full of anticipation.

On this day last year, he had extracted the Mythical-grade trait [Life Simulator (Prismatic)], which instantly propelled his life from Hell mode to Heaven mode.

Although he knew that that level of luck was unlikely to happen a second time.

But, well, a person always needs to have dreams.

What if?

What if another Mythical trait came along? Wouldn't he take off on the spot and achieve Ascension right there?

"System, start the draw!"

Tang Xun thought silently.

That familiar, illusory blue roulette wheel appeared before his eyes once again.

[Current extraction probability: White Common 99%, Green Rare 0.9%, Purple Epic 0.089%, Golden Legend 0.01%, Colorful Myth 0.001%]

Looking at the still outrageously low probabilities for high-quality traits, Tang Xun curled his lip.

"Come on, my life-spending player! Give me a golden flash!"

He took a deep breath and, using his intent, pressed the "Start Extraction" button.

Hum—!

The wheel began to spin crazily, and colorful lights flickered in the simple Immortal Cave, casting a shifting light on Tang Xun's face, which was full of anticipation.

He subconsciously held his breath, his eyes fixed intently on the rapidly spinning pointer.

The pointer swept across large white areas, its speed so fast it was almost impossible to see.

The occasional flash of green made Tang Xun's heart clench.

"Go! Blast it for me!"

Time seemed to stretch infinitely at this moment.

The pointer was like an untiring runner, sprinting madly on the white track.

Finally, under Tang Xun's gaze, where he was almost biting through his molars, the pointer's speed began to slow down.

It trembled and struggled, as if it had exhausted its last ounce of strength.

It crossed that vast, boundless white area!

It didn't stop on green!

It even surged past the purple area representing Epic!

Tang Xun's heart instantly leaped into his throat!

Could it be... could it be...

He didn't dare to think any further, fearing that if he opened his mouth, he would talk away this hard-won luck.

The pointer, with an unstoppable and resolute Aura, tremblingly landed on that area as dazzling as the sun, with only a 0.01% probability...

The golden area!

Hum—!!!

At this moment, the entire wheel erupted with an incomparably brilliant golden divine light!

That light was so dazzling, so glorious, that it instantly dyed the entire Immortal Cave into a golden ocean!

Tang Xun's mind went blank.

He stared blankly at the golden light, feeling as if his heart was about to stop beating.

Gold... Golden Legend!

After the Mythical trait, I've fucking pulled gold again!

A line of golden characters, exuding an Aura of nobility and extraordinariness, slowly formed before his eyes.

[Congratulations to the Host, you have obtained a Legendary-grade trait — Free and Easy Wandering!]

[Trait: Free and Easy Wandering (Golden · Legend)]

[Function: The Dao follows nature, the heart travels ten thousand fathoms. After equipping this trait, wherever your mind reaches, your body shall follow. You can consume a certain amount of mana to teleport instantly to any place in this world that you have 'seen' with your own eyes.]

[Cooldown: After each use, there is a thirty-day cooldown period.]

"Free and Easy Wandering..."

Tang Xun muttered the name, and then he carefully read the trait's function description three times.

Instant teleportation!

Teleport to any place you have "seen"!

"Holy crap!"

After understanding the true meaning of this trait, Tang Xun leaped up from the stone bed, so excited that he rolled around in the Immortal Cave like a madman, letting out hysterical laughter.

"Hahahaha! I'm rich! I'm really rich this time!"

He laughed until tears almost came out.

This trait is simply... it's a BUG! It's a cheat that heaven itself wouldn't tolerate!

What does instant teleportation mean?

It means he can ignore any distance, ignore any Restriction, and go wherever he wants!

If he can't win, he can teleport home directly.

If he discovers treasure, he can teleport directly to get it.

This is simply an essential divine skill for home travel, killing people for treasure, and running for one's life!

And, the most crucial part is...

Tang Xun's eyes flashed with incomparably excited light.

"Places I have 'seen' with my own eyes... then... do the places I've 'seen' in the Life Simulator count?"

Once this thought appeared, it took root and sprouted wildly in his mind, making him shiver with excitement.

If... if it's really possible...

What would that mean?

It would mean that all the places he had been to in his third simulation, the Crimson Trial, the shores of the East Sea, the hundred thousand mountains of the Southern Border, Falling Demon Valley... he could teleport directly to them!

Those locations and times of various Heaven And Earth Treasure he had memorized...

nine heavens breathing soil!

Profound Nether Heavy Water!

ten thousand year soul nurturing wood!

essence of earth core li fire!

These divine materials that he had spent decades and endured countless hardships to find in the simulation, couldn't he now... just go and take them directly?

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

Tang Xun felt his brain had completely crashed because of this crazy idea.

If this guess is true, then the combination of the [Free and Easy Wandering] and [Life Simulator] traits is simply a winning hand!

One is responsible for providing intelligence and coordinates, and the other is responsible for precision airdrops, free shipping worldwide!

Why the Hell would he even cultivate? He might as well just play it like a map editor!

"No, I must try it! I must try it immediately!"

Tang Xun couldn't wait even a second longer.

He immediately opened the trait panel and, without hesitation, swapped out the [Affable and Amiable] trait used for disguise and equipped the freshly minted [Free and Easy Wandering].

[Trait replacement successful!]

[Currently equipped traits (9/9): Life Simulator (Prismatic), Carefree Roam (Gold), Five Elements Spiritual Root (Green), Epiphany (Purple), Breath Concealment Technique (Purple), Effort Will Be Rewarded (Green), Ageless Male God (Green), Nemesis of Foreign Races (Purple), Divine Sense Double (Green)]

Looking at this glittering, luxurious nine-piece set, Tang Xun took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Where should I test it?"

Countless locations flashed through his mind.

Finally, he locked his target on the one he was most familiar with, which was also the most important turning point in his third life simulation.

—The Crimson Trial Grounds, the Great Earth Rift Valley!

There, he had the main material needed for refining his first Flying Sword, the "nine heavens breathing soil"!

"It's you!"

A sharp light flashed in Tang Xun's eyes, and he closed them, beginning to carefully recall the scene of the Great Earth Rift Valley in his mind.

That dark red sky, that bottomless rift valley, those craggy, strange rocks, that smell of blood permeating the air...

Everything appeared clearly in his mind.

Then, his mind stirred.

"Free and Easy Wandering!"
