Chapter 1: [Chapter Title: Luck So Low It Destroys the World]

【Name: Li Xiang】

【Comprehension: 70】

【Root Bone: 10】

【Family Background: 10】

【Luck: 10】

【Attribute allocation complete. Would you like to start the simulation?】

"Confirm!"

In the sweltering university dormitory, Li Xiang lightly tapped to start.

【Age 0: You are born.】

【Age 1: You have lived in a rural village since you were small.】

【Age 2: Your father discovers that you seem much smarter than your peers.】

【Age 3: The village teacher says you have great spiritual potential and hopes you will come to the private school for lessons.】

【Age 4: Your family is too poor to afford the tuition, and you are kicked out by the private school teacher.】

【Age 5: You run around in the fields and accidentally break your left leg.】

【Age 6: You always like to write and draw, but no one understands what you are doing.】

【Age 7: You like to play on the mountain behind the village, often staying there for the whole day.】

【Age 8: You look at the stone wall on the mountain behind the village and feel as if someone inside the wall is practicing swordplay.】

【Age 9: You observe the stone wall and learn the "Great River Sword Technique." You see that man swing his sword, like a galaxy hanging in the sky—how dashing! You take a tree branch and begin to practice swordplay, swearing to become a Sword Immortal just like him.】

【Age 10: Practicing swordplay.】

【Age 11: Practicing swordplay.】

【Age 12: No more swordplay; your mother calls you to go farm.】

【Age 13: Farming.】

【Age 14: Farming.】

【Age 15: Farming.】

……

【Age 19: Farming.】

【Age 20: An old Daoist passes through the village. He arrives on a flying sword, looks at you for a long time, sighs deeply, and leaves.】

【Age 21: Farming.】

【Age 22: Farming.】

……

【Age 32: Farming.】

【Age 33: You die. A group of bandits comes to the village. You resist with all your might but are outnumbered. Before you die, you suddenly remember the Great River Sword Technique you learned before. You regretfully think: if I had practiced swordplay properly back then, would the result have been different?】

"Damn it, how did I die again?!"

"Is there something wrong with the difficulty of this game?!"

In the dormitory, Li Xiang curses and frowns; this is his seventeenth failure.

This is a mini-program game that has gone viral online, called 【Simulated Immortal Cultivation】.

This game can simulate a life script in the world of immortal cultivation based on the initial attributes you fill in.

Since this morning, he has played more than a dozen times, but every simulation result has been extremely miserable.

The first time, he distributed his attributes evenly, and throughout his life, he never came into contact with transcendent power, dying in a military conflict at the age of thirty.

The second time, he added 10 points to Luck and distributed the other attributes evenly, successfully obtaining an Immortal Fate at age 20. However, because his Root Bone and Comprehension were insufficient, he could only become a servant in the Qingyun Sect, dying at the hands of a demon cultivator during a sect conflict at age 25.

The third time, ……

The fourth time, ……

The seventeenth time, which was just now, he finally had some progress and came into contact with a transcendent technique, but because his mother called him to farm, he ended up wasting his life.

The difficulty of this game seems to have some issues; no matter how Li Xiang distributes the points, it seems very difficult to truly let the protagonist step onto the path of immortal cultivation.

After pondering for a long time, Li Xiang summarizes his views on this game.

To be a person, you must have character; what is the difference between a life without highlights and a salted fish?

Average attributes mean mediocrity, and mediocrity means failure in life.

Either your Comprehension is good, your talent is peerless, and you go against the current to break your fate.

Or your Root Bone is good, your constitution is extremely strong, and you ignite a spark of Martial Dao.

Or your family background is good, your wealth can reach the gods, and you win a Supreme Dao Foundation for yourself.

Or your Luck is good, your fortune reaches the heavens, and you have blessings from all directions to help you.

If the attributes are just mediocre, then the vast majority of people will never even come into contact with the transcendent throughout their lives, let alone cultivate immortality.

"This crappy little game is actually quite realistic; immortal cultivation really has nothing to do with ordinary people."

"Sure enough, novels are all lies; all that 'mortal cultivation' stuff is unreliable!"

"If it weren't for my Comprehension being good enough in the last round, maybe the Great River Sword Technique would have looked like ghost scribbles in my eyes too."

"Come on, this round I'll max out my Comprehension. I don't believe that with such heaven-defying Comprehension, I can't win an Immortal Fate for a lifetime. In this life, my fate is determined by me, not by heaven!"

Li Xiang complains while starting to reallocate his attributes.

He doesn't intend to adjust his family background; he feels that life cannot be understood using the bucket effect.

Increasing family background might be useful, but he thinks it shouldn't have much significance. Putting those points there is just the difference between farming and doing business; in the end, one still has to waste their years.

Immortal cultivation, in the end, still depends on Comprehension!

【Name: Li Xiang】

【Comprehension: 97】

【Root Bone: 1】

【Family Background: 1】

【Luck: 1】

【Attribute allocation complete. Would you like to start the simulation?】

"Start!"

"In this life, I will definitely slaughter everything!"

Taking a risky path, Li Xiang just wants to see how on earth one can truly embark on the path of immortal cultivation in this crappy game.

【Age 0: You are born. At the time of your birth, there is an auspicious omen; you seem to be an extraordinary person.】

【Age 1: A gust of cold wind blows, and you die.】

"? ！？！？"

"Is there something wrong with this game?"

Li Xiang clicks to start again.

【Age 0: You are born. At the time of your birth, there is an auspicious omen; you seem to be an extraordinary person.】

【Age 1: You are abandoned by your parents, and an old beggar takes you in.】

【Age 2: The old beggar starves to death, and you are carried away by a dog.】

【Age 3: You die, dying of hunger.】

In the dormitory, Li Xiang silently closes the game and lifts his head to ponder for a while.

"The game designer is somewhat of a ***!"

"I won't indulge him; I'm definitely giving this a bad review!"

"1-star bad review: The game name does not match the content. Played more than a dozen times and still can't find the real path of cultivation."

After complaining about the game designer, Li Xiang ponders for a long time.

He still wants to know what the specific ending of this game is like and how one can truly start cultivating.

After some thought, he climbs down from the bed, opens the mini-program on his computer, pulls up the game's source code, and starts modifying it.

Ten minutes later, a game titled "Cracked Version: Simulated Immortal Cultivation" is downloaded onto his phone.

Can a living person be suffocated by urine?

If you can't beat the game, can't you play the cracked version?

As a dignified university student, could he really be angered to death by such a crappy game?

By modifying the program code and creating a cracked version, Li Xiang doesn't believe he can't clear the game today!

"I don't believe it today; if I still can't see the ending after this."

"I'll follow the internet cable to go over and scold you."

He just resisted the urge to call the game's plot and only made a cracked version for adding points, wanting to experience the plot easily.

Clicking on the game and looking at the 100,000 points available for allocation in the top right corner, Li Xiang reveals a smile.

"Come on, I don't believe I can't clear the game like this."

"Don't talk to me about strategies; a real man goes all-in!"

【Name: Li Xiang】

【Comprehension: 99970】

【Root Bone: 10】

【Family Background: 10】

【Luck: 10】

【Attribute allocation complete. Would you like to start the simulation?】

It's still the familiar recipe; he just wants to see today if he can clear the game after maxing out his Comprehension.

"Start!"

Li Xiang heavily clicks to continue.

But at this moment, another pop-up window unexpectedly appears on the screen.

【Warning: *********!】

A string of inexplicable warnings appears on the screen, but the content is all garbled, which is very strange.

Li Xiang thinks for a moment; maybe there was a problem with him modifying the file content, so he doesn't think much of it and casually clicks the 'X' to continue the game.

A small problem is harmless; isn't it enough that the program can run?

"Continue game!"

Li Xiang lightly clicks to continue.

Bang!

The next instant, his vision completely falls into darkness.

A breeze blows; Li Xiang himself has disappeared from the bed in the dormitory, and only a phone that is still somewhat hot is seen lying on the bed.

A row of familiar system prompts is slowly scrolling on it.

【Immortal cultivation game officially started.】

【I wish you a pleasant life!】
