Chapter 2: First Simulation (Part 1)
Not long after, almost everyone in the class had awakened their magic element, with only Mo Fan, at the end of the line, his palm trembling slightly and his heart pounding uncontrollably.
Perhaps no one could imagine the intensity of Mo Fan's nervousness at this moment.
On one hand, it was because he had only been exposed to magic for the past three months; on the other hand, it was because he came from a technological plane, and it was indeed possible, as Zhao Kunshan and the others said, that he might not be able to awaken a magic element!
Han Sen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, now opened them, preparing with interest to witness Mo Fan awakening both Lei (Lightning) and Fire elements.
What happened next was no different from the original plot: Mo Fan's awakening of the Lei (Lightning) element was overshadowed by Xu Shaoting's brilliance, and by the time everyone looked back, they only saw Mo Fan awakening the Fire element.
(To be fair, I feel like this part of the original plot has quite a few loopholes!)
Witnessing Mo Fan awaken dual elements with his own eyes, Han Sen saying he wasn't envious would definitely be a lie. However, he was now a man with a golden finger; as long as this simulator was powerful enough, surpassing Mo Fan would be incredibly easy!
After the awakening ceremony, the homeroom teacher, Xue Musheng, gave the students their most important first lesson after stepping into the magical realm—Magic Release!
Magic Release can be divided into three steps: Meditation, Control, and Release.
Meditation, as the name suggests, is to concentrate fully on thinking.
Meditation is the means for a Magician to improve his cultivation. When one empties his mind and Meditates, he can absorb the mysterious energy wandering between heaven and earth to temper and strengthen the Star Seeds, while continuously accumulating magic power used for releasing spells.
Control refers to manipulating the Star Seeds, making them converge into a specific Star Path, and finally releasing the magic.
...
During lunch break, Mo Fan was about to discuss his dual element awakening with Han Sen. After all, when he looked back, only Han Sen, at the front of the line, was watching his awakening.
However, before Mo Fan could say anything, Han Sen gave him a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, given our relationship, unless you expose it yourself, I will absolutely not tell anyone else!"
Hearing Han Sen's words, Mo Fan became furious.
Back then, he was solely focused on pursuing the Mu family's little princess, but due to a momentary lapse, this detestable scoundrel stole his home. What was even more infuriating was that later, the little princess herself couldn't win against this guy; it was truly losing both the wife and the army.
The more Mo Fan thought about it, the angrier he got. So, he stepped forward and firmly gripped Han Sen's neck, threatening fiercely, "Get lost, stay away from my Xin Xia!"
"I don't mind, but as for Xin Xia... why don't you go tell her!" Han Sen didn't resist, but instead said in a meaningful tone.
Mo Fan's face darkened further. Damn it, how did he get so confused back then and not keep a close eye on Xin Xia? As a result, Xin Xia was now completely devoted to Han Sen, always talking about Sen Gege.
"Scum!" In the end, Mo Fan could only manage these two words.
"Thanks for the compliment!"
Lightning—among all elementary systems—was renowned for its destructive force. It was fierce, fast, and domineering. Even so, he knew that awakening alone was only the first step; what truly mattered was cultivation, control, and… his golden finger.
"Magic Simulator," Han Sen murmured in his mind."Open interface."
A faint hum vibrated in his consciousness.His spiritual world rippled like a pond touched by a falling star, and a translucent panel emerged before his inner sight.

Han Sen's eyes brightened.Just as he had guessed, it truly worked like a life-simulation game—but one tied directly to reality.
"So, I can simulate a year into the future, and the stronger I become, the farther I can look ahead…"
His heart raced. This ability was practically a cheat against fate itself.
[ Drawing Five Random Talents… ]
1. Thunder Affinity (Blue): Increases comprehension speed of Lightning Magic.
2. Photographic Memory (Green): Perfect recall of everything learned.
3. Fragile Body (Gray): Easy to tire, weak physical constitution.
4. Elemental Attunement (Green): Increases affinity with the primary awakened element by a small degree.
5. Wealth of Luck (Purple): Increased chance to encounter resources, opportunities, and treasures.
"Choose three talents," the system prompted.
Han Sen grinned."Do you even need to ask? Obviously — Thunder Affinity, Photographic Memory, and Wealth of Luck!"
