【Year 52, Age 70.】
【Triggered the guaranteed effect of "Older Means Luckier"!】
【Draw successful!】
【"Effort Guarantees Reward" (Green): When you persevere in doing something, you will definitely gain something, though not necessarily a lot.】
【Adjust trait?】
【Yes/No】
"Rare traits are still the ones with the best effects!"
Thanks to "Older Means Luckier," otherwise, with a rare trait's 0.9% draw rate, he could draw until he died and still hardly get another one.
Needless to say, this trait definitely had to be used, and it would be a huge help!
【You replaced "Older Means Luckier" with "Effort Guarantees Reward".】
【Ten years of training, returning still a mortal.】
【Niu Dagan's grandson was already born, yet you still persisted in coming to the Thundering Fist Martial Arts School's training ground every day, diligently and painstakingly practicing.】
【Unlike others who would learn martial arts and spar for practical combat.】
【You were basically solo, only practicing one external technique, "Fierce Bull Strength".】
【Ten years passed. Although your Vitality Energy had improved, it still didn't reach the standard of a martial artist.】
【At first, Niu Dagan still collected your tuition fees, but later, he just let it go.】
【Respect the old, cherish the young, after all.】
【An old person at home is like a treasure.】
【With a lucky mascot like you around, the Thundering Fist Martial Arts School became a check-in spot for many people from the surrounding villages and towns, indirectly promoting the school.】
【"All apprentices! Look! This is Grandpa Chen Dong, who started cultivating martial arts at sixty, is now seventy, and still hasn't stepped into the martial path!"】
【Niu Dagan's son, Niu Youqian, was now the master of the Thundering Fist Martial Arts School, mainly responsible for recruiting apprentices.】
【Another batch of newcomers arrived today. Niu Youqian was using you as material to pump up the new recruits.】
【"What can we see from Grandpa Chen?
Ah~ right! Regardless of whether cultivating martial arts can lead to success, one must take that first step. Even if, like him, one is still stuck in place at seventy, at least there are no regrets for having tried!"】
【Just as he was speaking, you, who were training, felt a warm current within your Dantian and shouted excitedly.】
【"Master! I've entered the Body Refining Realm!"】
【Niu Dagan walked over to check your pulse and found it was indeed true.】
【Niu Youqian immediately changed his tune.】
【"Ah~ right! Grandpa Chen started cultivating martial arts at sixty and still succeeded. What's stopping you kids in your early teens? Nothing is difficult in the world for one who sets their mind to it!"】
【Niu Dagan was genuinely happy for you.】
【That night, he kept you at the martial arts school for a family dinner.】
【"Uncle Chen, actually, I've heard your story too. The taste of the food at the Yuelai Inn back then was quite famous in our surrounding villages! What a pity..."】
【Speaking of the lamentable parts, even as an outsider, Niu Dagan felt his eyes grow moist at your experiences.】
【"Although I don't know why you, at such an age, still want to push yourself and come here to practice martial arts, I wish you a long life and good health! From now on, the martial arts school is your home. I'll open up a small room for you, you can just stay here."】
【For over a decade, you once again felt the warmth of home.】
【However, you still hadn't forgotten the mission of this life.】
【Draw more traits! Practice martial arts more! The more inherited after the simulation ends, the better!】
【You knew your bone structure was poor, and you were too old, so your cultivation speed was exceptionally slow.】
【Therefore, you didn't waste time learning martial arts, only practicing external techniques to improve your Vitality Energy.】
【Year after year, cultivating at sunrise, resting at sunset.】
【Balancing work and rest, focusing on health.】
【That head full of white hair actually briefly showed strands of black.】
【Year 61, Age 79.】
【After entering the martial path, your cultivation slowly improved, now reaching Body Refining Stage Three.】
【Although you hadn't experienced demons, war, or martial artist calamities over the years, your body still slid uncontrollably toward the abyss of decline.】
【Martial arts could only grant you a brief rejuvenation; it couldn't stop your wildly advancing age.】
【A sudden bout of wind-cold left you partially paralyzed in bed, unable to practice anymore.】
【Niu Dagan had also grown old.】
【The martial arts school's business suffered from the impact of martial arts sects, couldn't recruit disciples, and was on the verge of closing down.】
【Fortunately, he had earned some money from taking in disciples in earlier years.】
【He hired a servant to take care of your daily needs.】
【Today, hearing you weren't doing well, he hurried over to visit you.】
【"Uncle Chen, how are you feeling today?"】
【"About to die."】
【Looking at the countdown for the trait draw, you only wished you could die slower, to draw the guaranteed trait at eighty.】
【"Don't talk nonsense, you're going to live to a hundred!"】
【"Dagan, living to a hundred isn't that easy. I lost my spouse in middle age, sent off my own children with white hair, my lifelong livelihood was destroyed in an instant... this heart of mine has long been riddled with holes..."】
【Outside the house, a cold wind howled, and heavy snow swirled.】
【Niu Dagan looked at this snowy season and sighed with emotion.】
【"Uncle Chen... in a person's life, days of suffering are the main theme, moments of happiness are just the interludes..."】
【Niu Dagan held your wrinkled, shriveled hand, feeling your gradually cooling body temperature.】
【Year 62, Age 80.】
【Triggered the guaranteed effect of "Older Means Luckier"!】
【Draw successful!】
【"Serious Punch" (Green): When you don't use martial arts and attack with ordinary punches and kicks, destructive power increases by up to 10 times, and you won't fracture from recoil! However, one hair falls out each time.】
【Adjust trait?】
【Yes/No】
"Amazing! Clinging to life by a thread, hanging on until the very moment of turning eighty!"
Chen Yi outside the simulation couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.
Such a dedicated "me" was truly rare!
But this life of his had indeed been too bitter.
He hoped that with a martial arts foundation in the next life, the simulation could be more comfortable.
【You chose No.】
【You died of old age.】
【Simulation Evaluation:】
【Leaping into the cold river's waves to soar, the mortal world buries the dying lamp time and again. A withered branch at sixty meets the spring breeze, yet still raises a fist toward the heavens with a roar!】
【Congratulations, you have obtained the following inheritances:】
【1. Sixty-two years of travel memories;】
【2. Body Refining Stage Three cultivation;】
【3. "Serious Punch (Green)", "Effort Guarantees Reward (Green)", "Older Means Luckier (Green)", "Low-Grade Bone Structure (Green)", "You're Too Beautiful (White)", "Little White Streak in the Waves (White)"... a total of sixty-two traits;】
【4. External technique "Fierce Bull Strength" (Beginner level).】
The rewards arrived instantly!
Chen Yi only felt a faint warm current suddenly emerge within his Dantian.
His entire body was liberated from fatigue and hardship, as if he had endless strength, and his entire essence, energy, and spirit were elevated significantly!
"Is this the feeling of a martial artist..."
Sixty-three years of life experiences also flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
Although he had gained some memories in his mind, it was like watching a movie.
He could remember every detail of the movie, but he wouldn't have painful memories from the protagonist's injuries or sad memories from separations.
Only the events, without the emotions.
