Golden Entry, Entry Slingshot

Clap, clap, clap...

Chen Yi could not help but clap his hands.

"This is what you call a guaranteed drop at the start."

Although it was only a green trait, it saved him the trouble of finding a Youth-Retaining Pill, allowing him to maintain a youthful and handsome appearance forever.

Looking at it from another angle.

Equip it and he becomes young; unequip it and he ages.

Was this not just a form of face-changing?

One trait, two uses. Quite cost-effective.

Of course, if it was just for the sake of looking good, he would only equip it when he had spare trait slots.

Additionally, he noticed that the first year in the simulation was no longer age eighteen, but nineteen.

Because half a year had passed since the end of the last simulation, and a new year had turned in between.

According to the calendar of the Great Qian Dynasty, it was now the twenty-seventh year of Yongcheng.

[You chose No.]

[You slept until dawn.]

[You bid farewell to Chen Yun once again.]

[Chen Yun found this hard to understand.]

["Why do you have to travel far again? Where are you going?"]

["To adventure, to gain experience, to reap rewards."]

[Chen Yun punched you in the chest in exasperation.]

["Glib talker! Are you still not going to tell your Third Sister what you're really going out to do this time?"]

["I'm not talking nonsense, I really am just going out to temper myself. Third Sister, I can't stay in this small county town forever, can I? Going out to explore the world, I might even be able to find Eldest Brother and Second Sister."]

[Chen Yun smiled bitterly.]

["Eldest Brother and Second Sister have been missing for ten years. If they were still alive, they should have found their way home by now. They were already in their teens when they went missing..."]

["It all depends on human effort. What if there's a miracle that can reunite our family?"]

[Chen Yun sighed.]

["Your Third Sister knows she can't stop you. Go if you want to. I'll pack your luggage for you."]

[Third Sister tied up a bundle for you, packing a lot of food and clothes.]

[As she packed, she nagged you with some familiar, age-old advice.]

[Watch out for wild beasts, be careful of bandits, part with your wealth to avoid disaster, don't offend people, beware of demons and monsters...]

[Actually, you didn't need any luggage. With the storage ring Li Chengqian gave you, you had already packed everything you needed for the journey inside.]

[But this meticulous preparation before departure was the simple, motherly affection of your Third Sister acting as the eldest, and you didn't want to interrupt her.]

[You led Black Wind out the door.]

[Third Sister waved behind you.]

["Fourth Brother! You didn't come back for the New Year last year. Can you come back this year to have the New Year's Eve dinner together?"]

[Last New Year, you were in Qianzhou searching for the Myriad Soul Banner.]

[Holding back the sourness in your nose, you didn't dare to look back. Leading your horse straight ahead, you replied loudly.]

["Take good care of Shen Jia, and remember what I told you!"]

[Earlier this morning, you told Third Sister that Shen Jia had a high-tier root bone, and when she got a little older, she should be sent to a martial arts sect to cultivate.]

[It didn't matter which sect she was sent to. With such an excellent root bone, any sect would take her in.]

[The Myriad Soul Banner clamored within your body.]

["Buddy, you've finally seen the light! Let's go find an earth vein and watch me help you break through your cultivation! Otherwise, with this root bone of yours, you'll be stuck at the Golden Body Realm until you die!"]

["We can look for an earth vein, but the first place I'm going is the Eastern Wasteland, to seek the Nine Provinces Cauldron!"]

[The Myriad Soul Banner was shocked.]

["The Nine Provinces Cauldron? That Great Dao Immortal Artifact, the Nine Provinces Cauldron?"]

["What other spirit artifact would dare to bear a name with such massive karma attached to it?"]

["Oho~~ Good, good, good! You've got some skills, buddy. You actually know where the Nine Provinces Cauldron is? Damn it, I've been roaming out there for so many years and even I didn't know!"]

["Watch closely and learn."]

["Hey! I praise you a bit and you start acting arrogant?"]

[Having inherited the memories from the last simulation, you now knew the exact location of the Nine Provinces Cauldron.]

[You also knew that the Nine Provinces Cauldron was currently under a seal.]

[However, after the Nine Provinces Cauldron was unearthed, you received a hint from it.]

[Da Chun!]

[You wanted to go give it a try.]

[You went to the Yuelai Inn and asked the proprietress to send every dish on the menu to Da Chun's room.]

["Da Chun, I'm going to a very distant place. I'll have to cross mountains and ridges, ford rivers and streams, and might even encounter all sorts of demons and monsters. I'll be constantly on the road, with no fixed place to live."]

[Da Chun sat in front of a table full of delicacies, his mouth dripping with grease from eating.]

["Brother Yi, why do you have to go to such a far place? Is the food at the inn not good?"]

[Chen Yi gave a bitter smile.]

["It has nothing to do with food... If I said I wanted you to go with me, would you rather stay at the inn and enjoy a comfortable life, or come with me?"]

[Da Chun spoke almost without hesitation as he continued to eat.]

["Brother Yi, I want to go with you."]

["You were so focused on eating just now that you might not have heard me. I said the place I'm going is very far, and there are many dangers along the way..."]

["They treat me well because Brother Yi gives them money. In this world, only Brother Yi treats me with true sincerity. If Da Chun following you can be of help, then Da Chun definitely must go!"]

[Da Chun spoke very seriously, spraying food crumbs all over your face.]

[You silently wiped the grease from your face.]

["Alright, let's set off!"]

[Year Two, twenty years old.]

[Drawing traits...]

[Draw successful!]

[Trait Slingshot (Golden Legendary):

You can launch purple, green, and white traits like shooting a slingshot. Upon hitting a target, it will produce different powers based on the trait's effect.

Once a trait is launched, it will disappear from your acquired traits, but it can be drawn again through the trait gacha.

Young man, are you still worrying about your garbage traits having no use? Then just use them! Tatakae!!]

[Adjust traits?]

[Yes / No]

The radiant light of the golden trait, even if it was just text in the simulation, was so dazzling that Chen Yi could barely open his eyes.

"This legendary trait is a hit!"

With dozens of traits drawn per simulation, Chen Yi's trait pool now contained 186 traits.

The vast majority of these were completely useless.

There were others with redundant effects or superior alternatives, making it impossible for him to waste a slot to equip them.

With the Trait Slingshot, even garbage traits could finally be put to some residual use.

"However, I can't use it recklessly. I have to unleash it at a critical moment as a trump card no one would ever expect.

I also need to use it sparingly. What if a certain trait can combine with other traits in the future to form a 'Martial Soul Fusion Skill'?

Just like 'Ji Ni Tai Mei' and 'Are you impressed by your Brother Kun'..."

[You replaced 'Serious Punch' with 'Trait Slingshot'.]

["A new golden trait! I wonder how effective it is in actual combat?"]

[True knowledge comes from practice. You randomly selected a white trait and activated the 'Trait Slingshot'.]

[A transparent golden slingshot appeared in your hand. In the leather pouch of the slingshot sat a cluster of words.]

[Yes, a cluster of words.]

[This jumbled cluster of words was exactly the name of the trait you were about to launch, along with its effect description.]

['Pointy Head' (White Common): The top of your head is pointy, seemingly containing boundless wisdom inside.]

["Whoosh!!"]

[The word cluster transformed into a ball of white light and crashed into a nearby tree.]

["Rustle, rustle..."]

[The white light scattered, resembling countless twinkling stars.]

["That didn't seem to do much..."]

[The next second, an unexpected anomaly suddenly arose.]
