Simulated Lives: The Sorrow of the Sword Maiden-Chapter 18 – Please recharge the Anchor Medium

The simulator thoughtfully provided a detailed introduction for each reward, allowing Xu Xi to intuitively assess the pros and cons of each option.
For instance, the peak cultivation level of Option One.
If Xu Xi chose it, he would gain the Golden Core cultivation from the Life Simulation, granting him immediate self-defense capabilities in the real world.
Instead of painstakingly starting from the Qi Refining Stage.
"An S-rating allows for three reward choices. By this logic, A and B ratings should offer two and one rewards, respectively, or the rewards might be significantly reduced."
"From this perspective, I must strive for high ratings in future simulations."
Xu Xi pondered deeply.
His gaze swept back and forth over the five rewards.
He quickly decided on Option One and Option Three, namely the peak cultivation level and the Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Choosing the cultivation level would save time, instantly reaching the Golden Core Stage, while the Heavenly Spiritual Root would ensure future strength enhancement. These were what Xu Xi needed most at the moment.
As for the third reward... Xu Xi looked at the last option, the seemingly ordinary jar of candy compared to the other rewards.
The jar was just an ordinary jar, and the candy was just ordinary sweets.
Xu Xi knew this well.
After all, this jar of candy was something he bought at a mortal market.
Xu Xi hadn't expected that this jar, left in his storage ring as a 'peace offering' to cheer up his sister, would appear among the simulation rewards.
Moreover, it was specifically marked as "never expires again."
"So, it expired once before?" Xu Xi's expression was complex. "It seems what I did really made Moli dislike me, so much that she didn't eat a single piece."
With this self-deprecating thought, the young man chose the jar of candy as his final reward.
He had all the memories of his cultivation, and could start practicing the Dao from scratch, and resources could be gathered anew in reality.
But this unremarkable, even somewhat mediocre candy was something that could never be replicated, a treasure from another world with special significance.
Even if it served no practical purpose, Xu Xi wanted to keep it as a memento.
A memento of the girl he would never meet again.
[Ding, reward selection complete, distribution commencing—]
As the simulator's light screen refreshed.
Xu Xi suddenly felt his body lighten, the powerful sensation he had only experienced in the Simulated World now filled him, swiftly bypassing the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, forming a flawless Golden Core.
The wood attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root took root within his body.
As for the final jar of candy, it appeared out of thin air in Xu Xi's hand.
The jar was a cylindrical ceramic piece, its pale blue surface slightly reflective. Gently lifting the lid revealed a variety of candies inside.
There were gummies, brittle candies, hard candies, and candied fruits.
During their life in Blackstone City, the siblings' life was truly frugal, so back then, Xu Xi could only buy some coarse candies to satisfy his sister's cravings.
Because of this.
For this last gift of candy, Xu Xi bought with great care, packing in all the candies he could find.
"Unfortunately, the candy never reached the person meant to eat it."
Xu Xi spoke with a tone of regret.
Holding the jar, he placed it on the bedside table, nudging it slightly backward to avoid direct sunlight.
After completing this task, Xu Xi took a deep breath and skillfully circulated the Golden Core within him, practicing breathing exercises in reality for the first time, as gentle spiritual energy surged through his meridians.
With the Golden Core cultivation level and the wood spiritual root, naturally, the Innate Divine Ability Wood Regrowth also manifested.
Wood Regrowth, capable of restoring severed limbs.
It could certainly restore Xu Xi's crippled legs in the real world.
"Good, just as expected."
"In the real world, where spiritual energy has revived, the practice of cultivation is not much different from the simulated Cultivation World. This means I can use my Innate Divine Ability."
His excitement was uncontrollable.
Xu Xi absorbed the spiritual energy from the air as quickly as possible, converting it into his own mana reserves.
Then he activated the Golden Core's Innate Divine Ability, Wood Regrowth.
Directing it towards his legs, crippled for many years.
"Sizzle..." A faint bubbling sound emerged as a continuous stream of vitality flowed into his legs, healing, blending, and reshaping them to their perfect state.
When Xu Xi finally attempted to move his legs, they descended to the ground without any hindrance.
Walking, jumping, squatting.
Everything was so smooth.
No different from an ordinary person.

"Finally, I've waited for this day!" In the room where he was alone, Xu Xi couldn't help but cover his face and laugh, laughing for quite a while before regaining his composure.
It wasn't surprising he was so emotional; the days of having crippled legs were too stifling.
In the past, even a small step could trouble Xu Xi for a long time, often forcing him to take detours or ask passersby for help.
But now, a brand new life opened its doors to Xu Xi.
All thanks to the simulator.
If he could simulate a few more times, Xu Xi's life would undoubtedly change completely, leading to an unimaginable new future.
"The problem is, simulations can't be started at will."
Walking with his legs again after so long, Xu Xi stored away the wheelchair he used before, holding a slightly yellowed apple in his hand. With a turn of wood attribute mana, the apple returned to its freshest state.
Taking a bite, it was sweet and crisp.
His peripheral vision glanced at the simulator panel.
On the light blue virtual screen that only he could see, Xu Xi noticed a text prompt:
[Simulation cooldown refresh time: 9999 days 6 hours]
Subtracting the time Xu Xi had slept before.
It could be concluded that the simulator's natural cooldown speed was one simulation every ten thousand days.
This number was somewhat daunting, but fortunately, the simulator provided a second method, preventing Xu Xi from truly waiting ten thousand days.
[Recharge Anchor Medium to obtain new simulation opportunities. Please recharge more, and live a better life as soon as possible.]
Ignoring the simulator's advertisement-like words.
Xu Xi focused on the words Anchor Medium.
"Anchor..."
"Medium..."
"It sounds like something akin to a locator," Xu Xi mused, asking the simulator a few more questions to confirm it was something that could be found in the real world, then silently noted it down.
He wasn't in a hurry.
Having just finished the first simulation, Xu Xi was still in the process of digesting, not eager to start the second one.
Meals should be eaten bite by bite, and roads should be walked step by step.
This principle.
Applies universally.
For now, Xu Xi planned to practice Daoist techniques at home, restoring the combat power expected of the Golden Core Stage, and then go out to see and appreciate the rapidly developing real world, enhanced by the Spiritual Energy Revival, during his time with crippled legs.
Previously, with limited mobility, he could only learn a little through his phone, but it was ultimately limited.
Now.
As a Golden Core Cultivator with healed legs, Xu Xi was truly qualified to understand the true face of this new era.
