Chapter 181: SSS-Rank Traits, Shit Mountain Code

~6 min read 1,081 words

Activation successful! Since you successfully cleared the first-level simulation difficulty, this simulation's difficulty has increased again! You need to draw your starting species identity, but the corresponding benefit allows you to randomly use one trait from the previous simulation.

After the simulation, the simulator will grant rewards and lifespan based on the host's lifetime excitement, and archive the results in reality.

The familiar race roulette appeared, and this time the number of race categories on the roulette more than doubled.

Accordingly, this race roulette also became much larger, and the carbon-based human option was hidden among the various race options.

Wanting to roll for the human race, the probability will also become smaller.

Looks like this difficulty is getting higher and higher...

Zhang Jie sighed; from the previous few simulations he had already faintly noticed this, and now he doesn't even bother pretending...

"Speaking of which, this is already my seventh simulation, right?"

Zhang Jie thought so, and casually spun the roulette.

"This time, can you trouble yourself to let me live a bit longer..."

"I thank you, wow!"

Only saw several race options flash across the roulette; the pointer passed over "Psionic Intelligent Machine," "Carbon-based Aquatic Life," "Insect Race Calamity," and gradually settled on "Carbon-based Human"......

After that, it landed on "Chaotic Flesh"!

"Damn!"

Zhang Jie directly clicked to reselect—who would dare pick Chaotic Flesh? That's just asking for punishment!

Moreover, if this thing were actually simulated, Zhang Jie would probably turn into a madman straight away......

"Spend 100 simulation points to redraw?"

"Draw draw draw!"

The roulette spun again; this time it looked much more normal, but to say how normal it is, it's not exactly normal...

"Inorganic Machine"? Looks... okay?

"Then it's this; as a machine, you probably won't encounter something like Lin Ran and the others, right?"

"After all, who has nothing better to do than fall in love with a machine?"

Zhang Jie scratched his head, clicked confirm, and looked forward to what it feels like to become a machine—whether to be a lathe on an assembly line or a titan on the battlefield slaying giant beasts.

This is also one of the most anticipated aspects of the simulator, after all you never know what you'll experience in each simulation.

"Come on then! Let me check out this simulation's traits!"

"Next, I will generate nine life traits for you; you need to choose four of them, and you must select one negative trait."

"Huh? There's one more?"

As the prompt said, the next moment nine traits appeared neatly in front of Zhang Jie.

" (SSS) Mechanical Descent God: As a machine, you seem to have been compiled by some mysterious entity, possessing potential no one could expect; at certain critical moments it will grant you unexpected effects. Note: Choosing this life trait will definitely grant the mark '??' (you are its final subject; if nothing unexpected happens, it will keep watching you)."

" (SS) Indestructible: As a machine, your body is extremely hard to destroy; your mechanical will is incredibly strong, you're the cockroach of machines; your data crystal core will never suffer major damage unless you self-destruct, otherwise you'll always be perfectly repaired; when the machine body lets out a wail, the will will lead you to break out of encirclement! (You think you can! Kill me!!!!)"

" (S) Endless Iterating Chaotic Code: After experiencing countless battles, your spaghetti code can no longer bear too much data, forcing you to choose iterative code; you failed, yet you also succeeded—you successfully overwrote the spaghetti code and gained the ability of endless iteration, but the cost is falling into endless madness; you will become the nightmare of the entire civilization! Note: Choosing this trait will force your species to change from Inorganic Machine to Mad Intelligent Machine (totally crazy!!!!)"

" (A) Combat Module: People have their strengths, machines do too, and you were born for battle; your code is highly sensitive to combat, increasing the speed at which you absorb combat experience by 500%! (Battle! Awesome!)"

" (A) Compatibility Body: Your code possesses extremely strong assimilative adaptability; you can accommodate various mechanical components—whether the enemy's encrypted mechanical weapons, or DIY mechanically assembled parts, or encrypted mechanical parts—you can use them freely, and may even gain effects you wouldn't expect (My code is above yours!)"

"Negative Trait—Spaghetti Code I: Your crystal core's core code is composed of a string of utterly absurd spaghetti code; creating your existence seems impossible to comprehend how you even run; you cannot back up or transfer data, only able to modify based on the original crystal core, and cannot upload to the network; if the crystal core is destroyed, this simulation will end completely (This shows that even big shots can't deal with spaghetti code.)"

"Negative Trait—Spaghetti Code II: After your crystal core was remodeled by some entity day and night, it got a lonely makeover; although you can swap crystal cores and upload data to the network, your spaghetti code will not support installing any complex components; you might only be able to serve as an ordinary domestic robot, then pray your parts don't break down (Conflicts with Infinite Compatibility Body!)"

"Negative Trait—Sloth: For some reason, your code is filled with lazy thoughts; you're too lazy to fight, too lazy to move, too lazy to iterate code; the first thing you learn isn't fighting, but slacking off. (Just being alive today is already exhausting; tomorrow's affairs can wait until tomorrow....)"

"Whoa! Good partner!"

"SSS-rank and SS-rank appearing together—this is a jackpot!"

Zhang Jie looked at these traits somewhat excited; this time he will definitely achieve a high-score accomplishment again!

"By the way, why did it go from seven to nine?"

"Answer: Each simulation, the difficulty keeps rising, and at the same time the trait selection also gradually increases!"

"Supplement: Please choose carefully! All simulation results will be archived into reality! Please try to select positive traits!"

"Huh? Is it because of this \"Endless Iterating Chaotic Code\"?"

Zhang Jie thought it over; if he really chose this, there's no need to think—the simulation score would definitely be sky-high.

But the cost would definitely be unacceptable; if he somehow created something heaven-defying, and it then affected his present self, it would be a loss not worth the gain.

He shouldn't choose such an ending just for the score; if he messes up, he could literally lose his life, so better not.

"Hiss, what you say makes sense."

"But... what exactly is that mysterious entity?"
