[You spent most of your savings to buy the black sword. You are very happy and think it is worth the money. 】
[Two months later, you noticed a special change in the territory.]
[But after thinking about it, apart from the fact that the people in the territory have become more unlucky, several people have broken their legs, there has been no rain for nearly half a month, and the crops have been damaged by small animals, there seems to be nothing else. 】
[At this time, a caravan claiming to be attacked by thieves entered the territory. The lord's son warmly received them and placed them in the castle. 】
【Three nights later, you died in your sweet sleep.】
"Is this dead?!"
Jiang Ren looked a little shocked when he saw the last line of words.
In the system interface, the world where the avatar is located is still changing. The pale white moonlight has turned into a dark red rich blood light.
Countless lava spewed out from the ground, covering most of the territory.
Blood-red claws like beasts stretched out from the lava, grabbing the humans who were running away and hiding, and then dragged them into the lava.
As the last person disappeared, the scene gradually faded.
"I don't even have the strength to resist."
Jiang Ren discovered that he couldn't even see how the substitute died.
But what made him even more confused was why the fiery red lava and those monster arms appeared?
Black sword?
Or the caravan that claimed to have been attacked by thieves?
"Judging from the text description before the death of the substitute, it is most likely that it was the caravan, but the source of all this is probably the black sword."
Before Jiang Ren could continue to think, the system interface had been refreshed.
[You are an ordinary farmer's son. You have finally become a knight's squire through your own efforts, and you have only half a foot on the road to transcendence. 】
[However, you lack strength and awe of the unknown, so you inevitably lead to death. 】
【Evaluation:☆】
[Reward: 1 (fate value)]
“Is there a lack of awe of the unknown?”
Jiang Ren shook his head, he did lack awe just now.
The narrator had clearly told himself that there was something wrong with the sword, but he still made the choice to buy it.
"I can't say this choice is wrong. If I was the one controlling the substitute, maybe the outcome would be completely different."
"But a substitute is just a substitute after all, and it is impossible to do exactly what I want."
At this moment, the interface suddenly changed.
Another reward popped up.
[Reward: Doom (one-time)]
[(Skill: Misfortune)]
[(One-time skill, duration 3 seconds)]
[(Apply this skill to the target, the target will be plagued by bad luck during the duration of the skill)]
[(This skill can only be used in reality and advent modes)]
"Half a star has a special reward? And it's a reward that can be applied to both the real and simulated worlds?"
Jiang Ren blinked to confirm that he had read it correctly.
At the same time, this also confirmed one thing for him, the ability of the black sword is doom.
"From this perspective, this revision seems to be pretty good."
"Although it is only a one-time skill, it is enough just to affect reality."
"And it's not just that."
Jiang Ren found that he had an extra memory in his mind - the application of destiny.
All skills rewarded by the system can use fate points to extend their duration before their time reaches zero.
Depending on the strength of the skill's impact on reality, the amount of time each point of destiny can be added is also different.
Just like this "bad luck" skill.
One point of destiny can extend the duration by three seconds.
The only pity is that no matter how much it is extended, the skill can only be used once.
After accepting the skill, another word popped up.
[(After each simulation world is settled, you can choose one of the selected talents and inherit it to the next Sims draw)]
[(The same talent card can only be selected three times at most, and it can be selected again only by refreshing it later)]
"Inheriting talent is equivalent to increasing the fault tolerance rate."
"And if you are lucky in any game and draw a good talent, but unfortunately die, you still have three chances by inheriting the talent."
Jiang Ren read the introduction and understood the key points.
[Please select a talent card from the following talents to inherit:]
[Orange·Mysterious Box]
[Green·Life hanging by a thread]
【White·Strong and Strong】
"Strong body" accompanies the growth of the avatar, and the reason why the avatar can become a knight's squire is inseparable from it.
Not to mention "life hanging by a thread", if it weren't for this talent card, the substitute would not have lived to be twenty years old.
As for the "Mysterious Box", the restriction of being up to 100 years old made Jiang Ren ignore its existence for a time after the beginning of the simulation life.
"Judging from the picture, this world is more like the Western Middle Ages with extraordinary power."
"But this power is not used on ordinary people, so the life span of ordinary people is mostly around thirty to forty years old."
"It's too difficult to live to be a hundred years old in that kind of environment. The mystery box is almost equivalent to a useless talent."
Jiang Ren thought about it and finally chose——
Mystery box!
No matter from a rational or emotional point of view, this is his best choice.
After all, although the mystery box is difficult to meet the opening conditions, it is several levels higher in rarity and has extremely difficult opening conditions.
Once the requirements are met, the profit will definitely be far greater than ordinary talent cards.
"I can still afford it for three days at most."
After Jiang Ren finished selecting, the interface returned to the world selection interface.
I glanced at it casually.
He tried clicking on the seventh world.
After clicking "No", Jiang Ren shut down the system.
It only takes half a star to get 1 destiny value. Who knows if five stars will get 10 destiny points in the future. Moreover, the destiny value can also increase the duration of the skill, which is obviously much more precious than before the update.
In addition, the simulated world is free once a day, so it is not cost-effective to use destiny points on this.
The next day.
Jiang Ren got up early.
Since moving here, his work and rest schedule has changed a lot compared to before.
Spend more time on exercising yourself.
First, I trained in the yard for half an hour, then washed and changed clothes, finished breakfast not far from the door, and then got on the bus to the company.
The business trip is on the fifth day of this month, so Jiang Ren still needs to go to work normally.
The bus stops at one stop.
Some people get on and some get off.
But because it is the peak period of commuting to work, the car is full most of the time.
Another stop.
A man and a woman squeezed in among several office workers.
