Okay, let's follow the beginning you provided and continue to conceive of the subsequent development of this story: --- Chapter 1 Good Life Simulator [Your Good Life Time Travel Simulator is loading, currently 99% loaded, please wait patiently] [Loading process 99.01%] [Loading process 99.02%] "..." In the slightly dim room, sunlight penetrated through the gaps in the thick velvet curtains, forming spots of light that were large and small, falling on tables and chairs, water glasses, and Xu Xi's body. Xu Xi was half-slumped in the soft computer chair, as if his bones had been taken away. He was wearing an old T-shirt that had been washed a little bit white, his hair was messy and messy, and his eyes were lightly green and black from staying up late for a long time. His eyes were fixed on the stuck-like progress bar on the computer screen and the appallingly slow percentage beat below. It's been like this for a full hour. Starting from 99%, it crawls forward tenaciously at a turtle speed of 0.01% Per minute. Xu Xi yawned hugely, and his vision was blurred by physiological tears. He felt like an old father waiting anxiously outside the delivery room, except that it was not the child who was having difficulty delivering, but this ghost thing that popped out of nowhere, was forcibly installed, and could not be closed and uninstalled - the "Beautiful Life Time Travel Simulator". The name sounds quite tempting. But Xu Xi, who has experienced the baptism of the information explosion era, has deep doubts about this. Especially the rogue software-like appearance made him intuitively feel that this was not a good product. "A good life?" He sneered, his voice seemed a little dry in the silent room, "Isn't my life good now? There is Internet, electricity, instant noodles, and I can still be paralyzed..." Even so, deep down in his heart, he couldn't even convince himself. Unemployment after graduation, the resume you submitted has disappeared, the number in your bank card has only decreased but not increased, and the calls from your parents are like a timer alarm clock... This kind of anxiety that can be seen at the end does not seem to be called so "beautiful". Perhaps it was this subconscious escape and a trace of expectation that he was unwilling to admit that made him not unplug the power directly, but patiently waited until now. [Loading process 99.98%] [Loading process 99.99%] ... Xu Xi couldn't help but sit up straighter, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously. [Loading process 100%! Ding! The wonderful life time travel simulator is loaded successfully! Welcome, distinguished user Xu Xie! The screen suddenly lit up, and the soft but not dazzling white light replaced the anxious progress bar. In the light, several lines of simple and elegant artistic fonts emerged. "Finally..." Xu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, then regained his energy, "So, simulator, tell me, what's a 'beautiful' way?" [This simulator is designed to provide users with an immersive life experience, helping you preview the thousands of possibilities under different choices and find a beautiful life path that truly belongs to you. ] [Would you like to start the first simulation immediately? ] [Yes / No] The options are suspended in the center of the screen, emitting a shimmering light. Preview life? Extremely possible? Xu Xi touched his chin. Sounds a bit like an advanced version of "Life Restart Simulator"? This piqued his interest a bit. Anyway, it's just idle time. Let's see what kind of work this thing can do. He moved the mouse, the cursor hovered over the [Yes] option for a moment, and then clicked lightly. [The simulation is starting... The initial world is being randomly selected for you...] The picture on the screen began to rotate like a kaleidoscope, and countless light and shadow fragments flew by quickly. You could vaguely see the shadows of ancient pavilions, future steel cities, fantasy forest swamps, and even interstellar battleships... Xu Xi held his breath. After a few seconds, the spinning stops. The frozen scene is of a majestic mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist, with cranes flying together and palaces looming. A line of simple text appeared at the bottom of the screen: [Initial World: Fantasy Cultivation World·Liuyun Sect] [Identity: Lingxiao Peak Outer Disciple·Xu Clan] [Simulation Goal: Survive in this world for thirty years, and improve the quality of life and happiness as much as possible. "Cultivation world?" Xu Xi raised his eyebrows, "Outer disciple start? It's quite classic. The goal is to survive and improve happiness? Not to become an immortal?" The focus of this simulator seems a bit different. [The simulation is about to begin, please be prepared. 3...2...1...] As the countdown ended, Xu Xi felt as if his consciousness was pulled by a gentle force and gently fell into the screen. ... Liuyun Sect, Lingxiao Peak. Xu Xie (simulated body) was wearing a gray outer disciple costume made of coarse cloth and stood next to a spiritual field. He looked at the slightly barren land in front of him, as well as the disciples in the distance who were obviously stronger than him and were busy or practicing. He felt the thin but real spiritual energy in the air, and a wonderful sense of substitution arose spontaneously. "This is... The world of cultivation?" He looked down at his body, which was obviously much younger and stronger, and felt the clear hunger coming from his belly. "It's really... Real." [Simulation Log Day 1:] [You have successfully arrived at Liuyun Sect Lingxiao Peak, and you are an outer disciple. You are assigned to take care of three acres of low-grade spiritual fields, and you must complete a quota of work every day to obtain basic training resources and food. ] [You feel a little confused, but you feel at ease now that you've arrived. You decide to get familiar with the environment first and complete today's farming tasks. ] Xu Xi (simulated body) picked up the hoe leaning on the ridge of the field and held it heavily. He imitated the disciple next to him and clumsily began to turn over the soil and weed. Sweat quickly soaked his clothes, and his lower back felt sore. "This is much more tiring than typing in front of the computer..." He thought with a grin on his face. In the real world, the Xu system body is sitting in front of the computer. The screen in front of him is showing the simulated body's every move and inner feeling in real time in the form of text and simple dynamic pictures. He could even vaguely experience the fatigue of labor and the burning heat of the sun. "Tsk, you're a spiritual farmer at the beginning? This 'good life' has a not-so-good start." ... The simulation time passed quickly. Xu Xi (simulated body) gradually adapted to the life of an outer disciple. He found that his body's cultivation aptitude was mediocre, and if he practiced step by step, he might not be able to break through the foundation building in his lifetime. Therefore, he decisively focused his main energy on "improving the quality of life." He used the sporadic knowledge of botany from his previous life to try to optimize the planting method of spiritual rice. Although the effect was limited, the harvest was indeed a little better than those around him, and the resources in exchange were slightly more. He used his extra resources to exchange some delicious spiritual vegetable seeds with his handyman disciples, and opened a small vegetable garden in the corner of the spiritual field. He even used the soft hay and old cloth he collected to make his hard bed more comfortable. [Simulation Log Year 5:] [You have successfully been promoted to the third level of Qi Refining, the progress is slow but steady. Your spiritual field harvest has always been the best among the same batch of outer disciples. Your little vegetable garden is rich in variety and can give you an occasional treat. The comfort of your nest increases. You are basically satisfied with your current life of "living on" and having enough food and clothing. Happiness: 65 (mediocre). ] In real life, Xu Xi looked at the screen and touched his chin: "It's interesting. You don't fight for it, don't take risks, you just farm and do logistics, and your happiness level is still acceptable?" However, the world of cultivation has never been a true pastoral. [Simulation Log Year 8:] [The sect competition is approaching, and the inner sect disciples are fiercely competing, affecting the outer sect. Some inner disciples are interested in the few resources you have accumulated over the years and want to "borrow" them by force. You choose: A. Suck it up, lose money and avoid disaster. B. Argue with reason and seek justice from the deacon. C. Secretly try to hide some resources. Xu Xi frowned. Trouble is coming. He thought for a while and chose C. The simulation followed the instructions, but was almost discovered during the hiding process. Although most of the resources were saved in the end, it was also frightened and resented by the inner disciple. [Event result: Resource loss and potential threat to security. Happiness -10. ] ... [Simulation log Year 15: ] [The demonic monks sneaked into the Liuyun Sect area, and the outer gate area was attacked. Your area is being targeted by a group of demon cultivators. You choose: A. Rise up and fight side by side with your fellow disciples. B. Use your familiarity with the terrain to hide as soon as possible. C. Ask the nearest deacon or inner disciple for help. The Xu system's main body looked at the images of demonic cultivators with ferocious faces and black energy appearing around the simulated body on the screen, and felt that his heartbeat had skipped a beat. "Resisting means delivering food. It's too late to call for help..." He decisively chose B. Relying on many years of experience in activities outside Lingxiao Peak, the simulation body got into an extremely hidden mountain crevice, held its breath and listened to the sounds of fighting and screams coming from outside, and trembled to escape the disaster. [Result of the incident: Successfully survived, but was traumatized by witnessing the tragic death of his fellow disciples. Happiness -15. ] ... The simulation is still going on, but Xu Xin's brows are getting tighter and tighter. The world of cultivation shown in this "Beautiful Life Simulator" is far less about the gratification and grudges in the novel. It is more about the struggle, helplessness and crisis that may come at any time among the monks at the bottom. Even if he chose the safest and most meticulous plan, his happiness still fluctuated due to accidents and threats, and even fell below 50 at one point. The thirty-year simulation deadline has finally arrived. [Simulation ends! ] [Final settlement: ] [Survival goal: achieved (survive for 30 years). ] [Cultivation: Sixth level of Qi refining (limited by qualifications, slow progress). ] [Quality of life: The average level of outer disciples (having relatively comfortable residence, acceptable food, and a little savings). ] [Comprehensive happiness: 58 (barely passed, weather-beaten, and lingering fears). ] [Evaluation: You have successfully survived at the bottom of the crisis-ridden world of cultivation and maintained a basic dignity of life. You are well versed in the way of "gou" and have avoided most fatal dangers. However, your long-term caution and suppression, as well as your several near-death experiences, have made you full of insecurity about the world. Is this considered "beautiful"? Perhaps, being alive itself is lucky. ] The screen dimmed, and Xu Xie's consciousness returned to its original form. He leaned back in the chair, exhaled a long breath, and even some thin cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Those thirty years of simulated experience, especially the palpitations while hiding, the humiliation when being blackmailed, and the fear when witnessing death, although separated by a layer, still remained in his senses with incomparable realism. "A good life?" Xu Xi looked at the computer screen that had returned to calm and muttered to himself, "I'm afraid this simulator has some misunderstanding of 'beautiful'... This is clearly a 'hard survival simulator'!" He rubbed his brows, feeling even more exhausted than playing games all night. But... An extremely strange feeling spread in his heart. In the last few years of the simulation, when he got used to being cautious, guarding his one-third of an acre of land, watching the spiritual rice heading, and eating home-grown vegetables, although he was worried, but he was indeed... Alive, a certain indescribable sense of calm would occasionally emerge. Compared with the anxiety of having nothing to do and a bleak future in reality, the feeling of clearly working hard to "survive" and really "surviving" in the simulation... Has a cruel sense of fulfillment. Just then, the screen lit up again. [The first simulation experience is over. According to the analysis of simulation results, users have high demands for "stability", "low risk" and "basic survival guarantee", and have low tolerance for "struggle" and "uncertainty". Can I customize an exclusive "good life" optimization plan for you based on this simulation data? ] [Yes / No] Xu Xi looked at these two options, his fingers hovering over the mouse, and he hesitated for the first time. This simulator seems to be more than just a game. The "life" it shows is cruel and real. And that kind of reality made him slightly shaken by the "reality" he was living in. Should he continue? --- (End of Chapter 1. It leaves the suspense of whether to continue, as well as the contrast between the cruel world of cultivation shown by the simulator and the anxiety of reality, laying the groundwork for subsequent development.)
