-Ding!
[The host can choose three of these talents: Runner (White), Why Are You Gae? (Green), Sword Master (Blue), Muscle Man (Green), Eye of Insight (Gold), Water Generation (Green)]
[Runner (White): You run faster than the average person. In a situation where you are fleeing from a hostile enemy while with a group, you are less likely to be targeted.]
[Why Are You Gae? (Green): At a small price of being black, you'll be able to gaslight anyone into becoming gay.
As long as you keep asking "Why Are You Gae?", no matter how straight the other party is, they'll doubt they are, until they become gay!]
[Sword Master (Blue): You'll immediately have the experience and proficiency of a Sword Master who has trained and fought with a sword for over a decade. Your swordsmanship talent also increases proportionally, corresponding to the talent grade.]
[Muscle Man (Green): You become very muscular and your strength becomes strong enough to punch and shatter rocks. However, your muscular physique causes you to become less agile and less intelligent.]
[Eye of Insight (Gold): You can see through lies, illusions, weaknesses, flaws, and hidden information. Your eyes reveal the truth behind people, objects, and energy at a glance.
However, prolonged use causes severe mental strain and temporary blindness. The mental strain and temporary blindness are proportional to the difficulty of seeing through the target's information. Seeing through basic information won't cause any side effects.]
[Water Generation (Green): You can generate water. That's it. You can't control water. At the expense of stamina or any energy you possess, you create volumes of water proportional to it.]
After Gabriel saw all the drawn six simulation talents and read all of their descriptions, he could only act normal outwardly, but inwardly, he was stunned!
'Fuck! The gold talent alone is worth this usage of life simulation. Even if I fail and get the lowest simulation score, just inheriting it would be worth it!'
Needless to say, Gabriel had already locked onto the Eye of Insight (Gold) simulation talent and chose it as one of his three simulation talents for this life simulation.
Its usefulness was self-explanatory, especially in a Dormitory Survival Game. If he used it well, he could see through the information and even the rule mechanisms of those rule monsters.
As for his second talent, he chose Sword Master (Blue). Even if it didn't come with a sword, he truly lacked any combat-related talent.
So, even using a kitchen knife in conjunction with it would be far more useful than the Muscle Man (Green) talent, which came with the side effects of lowered intelligence and agility.
Moreover, he had learned from Mathew and Lucas that the deceased Thomas's awakened talent was Martial Arts Master (Blue).
Its talent description was mostly similar to Sword Master (Blue) except for the difference of it being swords rather than martial arts. So, as a talent that could grant proficiency, combat experience, and talent in swordsmanship, it was a must-have.
As for his third talent, he hesitated for a second before ultimately choosing Water Generation (Green).
For meme's sake, the Why Are You Gae? (Green) was indeed too appealing. The power to make someone gay was only inferior to the power of the Last Gender Bender.
If it were used against his enemy, they'd collapse mentally, especially if they were adamantly straight.
However, he was in a dormitory survival game where, in the early game, water and food would be scarce resources.
Those who had formed teams earlier and looted resource points, especially the school cafeteria, didn't have to worry about food and water. But what about those who didn't?
He hadn't forgotten that Mathew informed him of their food and water rations only lasting for two days. Since he needed to last longer in the life simulation to obtain a higher score and more information, having food and water was paramount.
As long as he has water, he could even exchange it for food, as it's a well-known fact that one could last for as little as three days with only food. Yet with only water, one could last for two weeks minimum and could even survive longer depending on body fat, temperature, activity level, and overall health.
If conditions were ideal, lasting 60 days would not be a problem, but in the dormitory survival game, where one's activity level would be high, one can expect two weeks minimum.
So, Gabriel didn't hesitate and chose Water Generation (Green) as his third talent.
-Ding!
[The host has chosen the following talents: Eye of Insight (Gold), Sword Master (Blue), Water Generation (Green)]
-Ding!
[Since this is the host's first life simulation, the previous talent draw had boosted rates and guaranteed gold-grade talent. In the upcoming simulations, the host will no longer have that newbie benefit.]
[During the life simulation, the simulation will end when the host dies, or if he commands the life simulator system to end it. Strive to get as high a score as possible before it ends!]
-Ding!
[While the life simulation is ongoing, everything will be in a state of stopped time aside from the host. However, its purpose is to only give time for the host in order to use the life simulation better, so the host's actions during it will be strictly limited.]
As soon as that system notification resounded in his mind, Gabriel noticed that everything seemed to stop.
The color of the world didn't become monochrome, and it seemed to be a practical time stop as the air and light didn't just stop in place.
Lucas and Mathew were like statues as they halted in place as if someone had used a remote control pause button on them.
As the system had said, aside from being given a limited area of movement and a limited scope of actions, there didn't seem to be any downsides for it.
After Gabriel positioned himself well on his bed, he lay down and soon heard another notification sound.
-Ding!
[Starting the life simulation...]
-Ding!
[You blinked your eyes and noticed that the time stop had lifted.]
[In other words, you were now in the "future" while your main body should be in the "present", reading the text displayed on this screen.]
[Knowing that this was just a life simulation, you became emboldened and decided to go with your plan of abusing the life simulation and your awakened talent, Talent Trade (Gold).]
