Chapter 374 - 96: Second Simulation! Crystal-Popping Leveling! Promoting to High Dimension! (2)
"This has nothing to do with me!"
Su Chen suddenly started cursing.
Because when he heard Yu Jin say those words, he couldn’t help but imagine—
The reaction of billions of Blue Star players on this planet, it would definitely be extremely excited, extremely crazy, extremely yearned for.
And all of these emotions.
Undoubtedly, will fall on Yu Jin, transforming into respect, admiration, even reverence for him!
"Damn it!"
Su Chen couldn’t help but curse again.
He’s not stupid, through the information Yu Jin revealed, he can increasingly clearly see the gap between himself and the opponent, how big it really is.
Forget the distant ones.
At least...
From what Yu Jin disclosed, Su Chen can conclude that the upper limit for Evolver tiers is definitely not just Tier Nine!
"But, this is also an opportunity, my opportunity, the only opportunity!"
"No matter which tier Yu Jin originally is, Tier Twenty or Tier Hundred..."
"On this planet, restricted by rules, he is now only Tier Nine!"
"And this, is the time when my gap with him is the smallest!"
"I must, before the promotion he mentioned is completed, on this planet, defeat him, no..."
"Kill him, and take his place!"
"Blue Star Civilization leader, Yu Jin could be one, I, Su Chen, might not be unable to do it!"
Extreme fear, extreme crisis, gives birth to extreme greed.
The past three days of relentless bloodshed made Su Chen realize—only big fists are the hard truth!
Maybe.
Now human players are full of positive emotions towards Yu Jin.
But...
As long as I defeat and kill him, as long as I prove that he is not omnipotent.
Su Chen has the confidence to become the new leader of the Blue Star Civilization.
"The Divine Bloodline in my body..."
"Awakened neither earlier nor later, but just before Yu Jin arrived, maybe it’s for this reason."
"Every sip and every bite, all have causes and effects."
Su Chen, sitting on the ground, thought for a long, long time.
Finally.
He determined his complete plan.
"Simulate, then die in Yu Jin’s hands!"
"Only by doing so can the passive gains from Rebirth be maximized."
"And in principle..."
"Try to die as late as possible."
"As long as I can ensure it before the promotion starts, meaning within a month..."
Su Chen muttered to himself.
Three days ago when Yu Jin announced it to the world, he made it very clear—
He would use special means in a month, to make the entire Venus Server along with all the human players on it, be promoted to the High Dimension, and meet at Dawn Fortress.
Su Chen didn’t understand, nor could he imagine, what kind of power that would be.
But...
This doesn’t hinder his ambition to replace Yu Jin in his heart.
Even...
The cost of doing so is leaving billions of Blue Star humans without the chance to be promoted, trapped on this planet.
"Simulate!"
Su Chen suddenly shouted.
His eyes became unprecedentedly determined.
Three days had passed, and the cooldown of his simulation ability had finished.
Soon.
Su Chen, dragging his severely injured body, found a relatively safe underground cave.
Hoo——
Su Chen took deep breaths, constantly adjusting his status.
In front of him, the familiar text already appeared on the virtual panel—
[Simulate?]
"Yes!"
"Start!"
Su Chen spoke, word by word, forcefully.
As he finished speaking.
Whoosh—
His consciousness blurred, and he fell into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the same underground cave.
Every sense and scene around him was exactly the same as before the simulation.
The only difference was the text on the virtual panel had changed to [Simulating... After death or voluntary ending, you can exit simulation and settle rewards].
"It’s started..."
Su Chen muttered.
He knew he was now in the simulated future.
"First to Bailu City?"
"No, not possible..."
"Going might get me killed by Yu Jin directly."
"First develop slyly; strive to improve tier in this simulation, maybe the tiers can be inherited after the simulation ends!"
Su Chen had a thought.
Then...
He left the cave, and began extracting crystals from the scattered corpses of Mutant Beasts on the ground.
"Tier Two Contamination Crystal?"
"Can use!"
"Tier Three Contamination Crystal?"
"Can do!"
"Tier Three Energy Crystal?"
"Nice stuff!"
"..."
Su Chen kept digging, and soon, his pockets were full and heavy.
He didn’t possess any Spatial Attribute abilities nor carried any storage devices like a backpack.
"Let’s consume it first!"
Su Chen thought for a moment and simply sat down right there, beginning to consume the crystal.
Crunch—!
The pitch-black Pollution Crystal was rigid and bitter as it entered.
Su Chen clenched his teeth, striving to absorb the energy within.
Time slowly passed by.
It was unclear how long had passed.
Su Chen slowly opened his eyes.
His aura was noticeably stronger than before.
"Mid-Tier Five?"
"Getting one step closer to Tier Six..."
A hint of delight appeared in Su Chen’s eyes.
This time’s crystal consumption was akin to an experiment.
The result of the experiment was—
"With my Divine Bloodline, the level of Pollution will never truly break through one hundred percent!"
"Infinitely close, but can’t reach one hundred percent!"
"This means..."
"I can freely consume crystals, consume them like crazy, without having to worry about the Pollution level!"
"Theoretically..."
"As long as I can obtain enough crystals of sufficient tier, even if they are inferior Pollution Crystals, I can keep progressing and leveling up!"
"Tier Nine?"
"Perhaps without dying and rebirthing, I can reach Tier Nine!"
...
After this.
For a whole month, Su Chen embarked on a mad journey of crystal consumption and leveling up.
He scoured the Wasteland Wilderness, searching for Mutant Beast nests everywhere, and would even occasionally attack Infected Bodies.
Thanks to the ’Courage Level 1’ ability’s effect of temporarily boosting his tier, Su Chen never encountered any real life-threatening crisis.
Even when he was once chased for hundreds of miles by a Tier Seven Infected Body, he managed to survive and did not prematurely end this simulation due to death.
But...
"Tier Seven!"
"Still some distance away from Tier Eight!"
At the edge of Zone 007, thousands of miles from Bailu City.
Su Chen looked at the Tier Six Crystal he had just dug up, gritting his teeth.
Reality was not as smooth as he imagined.
Although...
He elevated from Tier Four to Tier Seven in just a month, without his Pollution level maxing out and turning into an Infected Body.
But...
The final level of Tier Seven was still far from his expectations.
"The one-month period has ended."
"Today is the day Yu Jin mentioned for promotion to a high dimension."
"Let me see..."
"Whether the facts are truly as he said..."
On this day.
Su Chen stopped slaying monsters and leveling up.
His simulation might be forced to stop due to the planet’s promotion to a high dimension.
Therefore.
He ceased early today, waiting for that moment to come.
Time slowly passed by.
The scorching sun overhead gradually dimmed.
Noon, dusk, sunset, midnight.
Until midnight, still no unusual movement occurred.
"Hmm?"
"A scam?"
"Is Yu Jin really deceiving us?"
Upon receiving this answer, even Su Chen himself was astonished.
Yet.
The next moment.
[Detected impending collapse of simulated environment!]
[High Dimensional Server Rules Invading!]
[This simulation is about to end forcefully!]
[Countdown—]
[10, 9, 8, 7...]
Lines of new text suddenly appeared on the illusory panel in front of Su Chen.
"How could this be..."
Su Chen stood there in a daze.
And then.
Boom—
Rumble—!
He felt the planet beneath him start to tremble entirely.
Whoosh—
Whoosh whoosh—!
Streaks of light pierced the night sky, rushing toward the Celestial Vault.
Thud—!
Another loud roar.
Su Chen saw a massive, deep hole appear in the sky above the planet.
The hole resembled a Black Hole, yet inexplicably reflected endless Star River shadows.
"That is..."
The scene before him left Su Chen frozen in place.
And the next second.
Swish—
His vision plunged into darkness.
[Simulation ended...]
[Calculating Rewards for this Simulation...]
