Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!-Chapter 37: Land of Chaos, Black Dragon Stronghold

Early the next morning.

When all the students' simulation results were recorded.

The news that Lu Yuan had received an S-level evaluation quickly spread throughout Jiang City.

His detailed information was sent to the desks of major forces immediately.

Even simulation clans in the Inner City were alarmed, sending people to inquire about the news.

"A newcomer received an S-level evaluation?"

"At all costs, he must be recruited into the Simulator Association!"

"My Public Security Bureau happens to need someone with such talent. As long as he's willing to join, he'll become the Law Enforcement Officer of the Sixth District!"

...

Outer City, District One.

Zhao Family.

"Being able to receive an S-level evaluation means his talent is at least A-level, and it might even be an S-level talent with very powerful effects!"

"This person has great potential and an unlimited future."

"If we can make him join the Zhao Family, in less than a century, we could restore our former glory!"

"It's a pity, though, that the Inner City has already extended an olive branch to him."

The speaker was a black-robed elder with graying hair, speaking with a tone of regret.

This person was none other than the Patriarch of the Zhao Family.

Zhao Huai'an!

"Grandpa, don't worry, I also have an A-level talent."

"In this simulation, I was just a bit unlucky at the last minute, otherwise, I could have gotten an S-level evaluation too!"

A tall, pony-tailed young girl hurried to comfort him.

If any student from the First Middle School in District One were here, they would surely recognize her at a glance.

This beautiful girl was the school beauty of the First Middle School.

Also hailed as the foremost beauty of District One, the little princess of the Zhao Family.

Zhao Shiqi!

"Shiqi, you've already done very well, but sometimes luck is also a part of strength."

"Moreover, an S-level evaluation isn't as easy to achieve as you think."

Zhao Huai'an smiled wryly.

However, the look in his eyes when he gazed at Zhao Shiqi was filled with a hint of relief and pride.

Among all the descendants of the Zhao Family, only his precious granddaughter could shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the Zhao Family.

Zhao Shiqi, however, was somewhat puzzled: "Grandpa, isn't there just one level difference between A-level and S-level?"

"Yes, but this one level difference is like an insurmountable gap." Zhao Huai'an patiently explained.

"The simulation difficulty is divided into six levels: simple, normal, difficult, nightmare, hell, and the doomsday that no one can pass."

"Only a nightmare-level simulation and above have the possibility of receiving an S-level evaluation."

"Moreover, to get an S-level evaluation, besides changing all the pivotal moments of life, you also need to complete at least 50% of the main storyline progress."

"To achieve this, talent, power, and luck are indispensable."

"Shiqi, you just finished a simulation, so you should understand the difficulty involved."

Zhao Huai'an spoke with a sense of emotion.

Nightmare level?

50% main storyline progress?

Upon hearing these words.

Zhao Shiqi's heart sank, finally realizing the significant value of an S-level evaluation.

Because her simulation this time was only at the Difficult Level.

But even if she gave it her all.

Using a considerable amount of family resources and rare props, she only barely managed to achieve less than 70% of the main storyline progress.

And the nightmare level difficulty was more than ten times harder than that!

No matter how much she racked her brain.

She couldn't understand.

How exactly did Lu Yuan, a poor student with no background, manage to achieve this?

Unless he really had an S-level talent?

Thinking of this, Zhao Shiqi was shocked, finally understanding just how terrifying Lu Yuan's potential was.

Although A-level talents are rare, about a dozen appear every year.

But S-level talents are things that can be sought but not obtained, and with nearly nine million people in Jiang City, it might not even appear once a year!

Just from this point, one can see how rare S-level talents truly are!

...

Just as storms were brewing in the Outer City.

The Inner City's major families couldn't sit still either.

The third son of the City Lord Zhang's family even publicly declared.

As long as Lu Yuan is willing to join the Zhang Family, he could be granted the Zhang surname and become part of the direct lineage!

The other simulators, upon hearing this, were enviously green.

Being granted the Zhang surname?

Direct lineage treatment?

In this world where people's lives are as cheap as grass and noble families monopolize nearly 90% of the resources of the end times.

If one could become part of the direct lineage of a simulation clan, it would be a great honor for ordinary simulators who have no support!

It's like being a normal college student just graduating, and someone is willing to give you a job with an annual salary in the billions.

And from the get-go, they want to make you an executive, even the boss's confidant.

Never mind changing their name, many would gladly become their godparent!

But Lu Yuan remained unmoved by such offers.

Nicely put, it's a direct lineage.

Not nicely put, that's just being a family servant.

Lu Yuan has always valued his freedom and doesn't like being constrained.

Moreover, he has too many secrets; if he rashly joins other forces, over time, flaws could inevitably be exposed.

Shortly after the news spread, Lu Yuan politely declined the invitation from the third son of the Zhang family.

The third son of the Zhang family wasn't upset by this.

Instead, he expressed that the Zhang family doors would always remain open to Lu Yuan should he ever change his mind.

Others, upon hearing this.

Regretted for Lu Yuan, believing he missed an excellent opportunity to change his fate.

These days, while talent is certainly important, relationships and background are even more so!

The Great Yan Empire has a population of nearly thirty billion, and every year hundreds of simulators awaken with S-level talents.

Yet over the years.

Those geniuses either remain anonymous or meet an untimely end; very few become advanced simulators.

In contrast, the offspring of simulation clans from noble families, though having slightly less talent, at worst can achieve middle-class standing with family assistance.

No need to rise overnight or change fate, but so long as they don't self-destruct, they could enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory.

Isn't this far better than fighting alone?

...

Two days later.

Lu Yuan suddenly received an appointment letter.

The content of this appointment letter was simple, requiring Lu Yuan to guard a certain district and ordering him to take office within three days.

But when Lu Yuan saw the district's name, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

Black Dragon Stronghold! freeweɓnøvel.com

Lu Yuan had lived in this world for ten years and naturally had heard of this place.

This area was a no-man's land, located more than a dozen kilometers from Jiang City.

The people living in this area were desperadoes and refugees who could not survive in other cities.

Smuggling, assassination, arms trafficking, brothels, organ transactions...

It's said to be the most chaotic place in Jiang City, where what's most terrifying isn't the darkness, but human nature!

With one wrong step, you won't even know how you died!

Therefore, only simulators who had committed major errors would be sent to the Black Dragon Stronghold.

By convention, newcomers who receive an S-level evaluation have the right to choose their district.

Upon seeing this appointment letter, Lu Yuan immediately realized that someone must have meddled in this matter.

"Could it be the third son of the Zhang family or someone else I rejected?" Lu Yuan's gaze deepened.

He had always been cautious, never setting himself against others.

After much thought.

The only place he offended someone was when he refused the invitations from all the forces after his simulation ended.

Among these people, surely someone felt humiliated and wanted to set a trap for Lu Yuan.

In this world where lives are as cheap as straw.

The whims of the privileged could easily destroy the bright future of an ordinary simulator.

But they should never, ever.

Have chosen to step on Lu Yuan's head!

A hint of murder flickered in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Just then.

Wuxin suddenly knocked on the door and reported.

"Master, Miss Zhao has come to visit."

"Someone from District One's Zhao Family, why is she here?" Lu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, vaguely guessing her purpose.

When he saw Zhao Shiqi.

Even though Lu Yuan was used to seeing beauties in the Simulation World, he was still taken aback.

It's apparent Zhao Shiqi had meticulously dressed up before going out.

Her delicate features were lightly made up, wearing a white shirt with a black pleated skirt.

The high boots on her feet made her long legs appear even more slender and long.

She looked outstanding in temperament, elegant and generous.

Pure yet carrying a hint of allure, exuding a perfect campus goddess vibe.

Her every move could tug at man's heartstrings, enough to drive all young men mad with longing.

It's no exaggeration to say that Zhao Shiqi's title as the goddess of District One was well deserved.

With her looks and temperament, she indeed had the capability.

But no matter how beautiful, if it concerns his own interests.

No matter how stunning a beauty is, to Lu Yuan, she would merely be a red-dusted skeleton.

Thus.

Compared to Zhao Shiqi's appearance, Lu Yuan was more concerned about her intentions.
