[Ding, the host's current mindset has begun to conform to that of a true great villain, having a profound impact on himself and the future of this world, rewarding 500 villain points.]
The mechanical voice of the [Villain Simulator] suddenly appeared, interrupting Lu Qian's thoughts.
"I didn't expect that this time I would unexpectedly align with the mindset of a villain and receive villain points as a reward. It truly is a case of fortune and misfortune intertwined."
Lu Qian was a bit surprised.
Just his own thoughts were enough to trigger a reward from the [Villain Simulator].
From this, it was clear how "important" he was in this world.
However, compared to these so-called 500 villain points.
His current mindset and feelings were undoubtedly more precious, enough to save his life in the future.
"Simulator, how many villain points do I need to run a simulation by myself now?"
Lu Qian hadn't forgotten that he only had three free "villain life simulations" given at the start.
Now, he had used two, leaving only the last one.
Once they were used up, he would have to use "villain points" to start the fourth "villain life simulation".
As for now, he had to take things one step at a time.
At the very least, he needed to understand some of the startup "rule procedures" of the [Villain Simulator].
[Ding, the host's current Realm is Third Realm Tongxuan, performing one villain simulation requires 1000 villain points.]
1000 villain points!
Lu Qian frowned slightly, feeling a bit surprised.
This number seemed a bit too high.
Just now he thought the 500 villain points he received were quite a lot.
Looking at it now, he couldn't even start a "villain simulation" independently.
However, this wasn't the most critical part.
His next simulator reward could allow him to break through to the Fourth Realm Shentong!
"System, if my cultivation reaches the Fourth Realm Shentong, how many villain points will it require?"
[The higher the host's strength and the more secret treasures they possess, the greater the interference with the simulated future, and thus more villain points are required. Fourth Realm Shentong requires 5000 villain points.]
The mechanical voice of the [Villain Simulator] appeared again to explain.
The required villain points had increased fivefold again.
The stronger the strength, the higher the villain points required.
This meant that suppressing cultivation and combat power in the early stages was actually beneficial for obtaining more rewards with the fewest villain points.
But the problem was, what he lacked most now was time, and what he needed most was strength.
With the mastermind behind the scenes, watching him like a tiger.
How could Lu Qian dare to stop improving his strength?
In a sense, he had no choice.
His gaze fell upon the six rewards from the end of the second simulation.
Among these six rewards, there were more than three items he coveted.
But now, he could only choose three out of six.
Among the six simulation rewards, the fifth and sixth were undoubtedly the first ones Lu Qian eliminated.
The fifth item, the Destiny and Luck Enhancement of the Destiny Female Lead Liu Ruoyue (one week), this was a replica and could be refreshed, so there was no rush.
The sixth item, Ye Chen's severed arm, wasn't of much use in his current situation, especially since he hadn't yet mastered curse-type spellcraft.
And the first item, the fourth level of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture, was a must-choose, as it could allow his Realm to quickly break through to the Fourth Realm Shentong.
The second item, the fourth level of the Thousand Shadows Demonic Skill, with its inherent "Shadow Mimicry" Shentong, was quite useful to him.
If a certain Destiny Protagonist had forcibly cheated during the second simulation, he would have already used this to make his escape.
The Guimi token in the third item was from Ye Chen's Storage Pouch. It had shown a slight reaction when Ye Chen's cheat ability erupted earlier, hinting at a potential use.
But he hadn't confirmed it yet.
In comparison, the fourth item, the [Substitute Life Blood Escape Talisman], was a genuine life-saving artifact.
"Although the [Substitute Life Blood Escape Talisman] has the uncertainty of random escape and teleportation, it can indeed save one's life at a crucial moment."
"If I had still had the strength to resist when I was teleported during the second simulation, I wouldn't have been killed by those ""Weird Aliens"" in the sea."
"Furthermore, as long as I choose the [Substitute Life Blood Escape Talisman], and then get another one from Big Brother's hands in the simulator world, I can have two [Substitute Life Blood Escape Talisman]s and get two chances to save my life."
"Presumably, I can live longer."
Lu Qian quickly made his decision.
"Simulator, I choose the first, second, and fourth items."
Boom!
The next moment,
A grand and profound power descended.
The "River of Time" materialized again, crossing dimensions and appearing before him.
A mutilated corpse remnant that had been gnawed on also appeared before him.
That was precisely the "himself" from the second villain life simulation, who was ultimately devoured by the Guimi weirdness.
Although it wasn't the first time he had seen it, upon seeing his own tragic death state at this moment, Lu Qian's mouth twitched.
The six fruits hanging on the mutilated corpse instantly dropped three, which quickly flew towards him and merged into him.
Boom!
In his mind, his comprehension of the [Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture] instantly reached a new threshold, breaking through to the Fourth Realm Shentong and condensing the tyrannical physical Shentong of "Dragon Elephant Overlord Body".
At the same time, a dark and Guimi power slowly emerged within his body, possessing a strange characteristic of "Thousand Transformations".
It was precisely the [Thousand Shadows Demonic Skill].

"In the previous two simulations, I was always actively entering the game. This time, I want to completely take control."
"The main goal of the third villain simulation is to clear out the entire Magic City in one go and know all potential safety hazards in advance."
"Now that my main body is in Magic City, if I don't figure out who are friends and who are foes, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace!"
"The "encirclement and killing" in the second simulation was too strange. How could the Zhao family Ancestor and the others know my whereabouts, unless there was an insider!"
"And ever since I came to Magic City, all my living expenses and arrangements have been handled by the Li Family, my in-laws in Magic City..."
"Also, I need to figure out the anomaly of Ye Chen's sudden cheat ability, and that Liu Ruoyue is also a bit strange..."
All sorts of anomalies from the second simulation surfaced in Lu Qian's mind, his eyes filled with calculation and madness.
In the Villain Simulator world, being calculated and encircled for killing again and again, he felt utterly frustrated just watching it.
He had to take care of the person behind the scenes.
"Villain Simulator, start the third simulation."
[Ding, initiating the third villain life simulation.]
[Detected that the host has sufficient villain points. Do you wish to spend 500 villain points for a random draw of a temporary talent?]
500 villain points!
Unexpectedly, it could be used just right this time!
The previous blue talent "Slipping Away" had given him a lot of convenience. If he could get more talents, it would undoubtedly be better.
"If villain points are kept without being used, what's the difference from not having them? Am I supposed to save them to have kids?!"
"Me! All in!"
Lu Qian, who deeply understood that going all-in was a form of wisdom, decisively pushed out the villain points in his hand.
[Ding, 500 villain points have been automatically deducted from the host. Random temporary talent draw is commencing.]
Swish!
Suddenly, a blinding red light appeared before Lu Qian's eyes, emitting a scorching radiance.
Hmm?!
Is this an explosion of European Emperor Luck?!
Did I draw a Golden Legendary?!
Lu Qian was overjoyed and quickly looked at the drawn talent ability.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining temporary red talent: You Can't See Me]
