Chapter 100: The Ninth Simulation
Under Xiao Feng's gaze, the simulation countdown quickly hit zero, and the simulation count changed from 0 to 1.
"Start the simulation!"
Without hesitation, Xiao Feng immediately initiated the ninth simulation.
"Ding! Randomly selecting a simulation world..."
The text in the selection box rapidly shifted, eventually displaying four prominent characters: 'Under One Person'.
"Ding! Please select the simulation mode!"
[Text Projection Simulation (No Cost)]
[Physical Projection Simulation (Cost: 1 million merit points)]
Though Xiao Feng had anticipated it, seeing the massive cost of 1 million merit points for the Physical Projection Simulation still made his mouth twitch uncontrollably.
It was clear that during the earlier physical projection simulations when Xiao Feng was weaker, the system likely offered those as newbie benefits.
As Xiao Feng's strength grew, the cost of the Physical Projection Simulation soared. It seemed he would have to rely mostly on text simulations in the future.
"Ding! Starting Text Projection Simulation!"
[Day 1: You realise that you seem to have travelled to a different world, one that closely resembles the one you came from. You remain calm and unbothered.]
[Day 2: Using the money you earned from yesterday's hard labour, you buy a duck leg meal and two bottles of mineral water. You head to a shady internet café to search for information about this world.]
[Day 3: After researching online, you discover that this world has the Quanxin Express Company and the Tianxiahui Group. You immediately understand that you've crossed into the Under One Person universe...]
[Month 1: In hopes of acquiring supernatural powers, you visit the three extraordinary sects of Longhu Mountain, Wudang, and Quanzhen. However, you fail to join any of them and realise you lack the innate talent to become an "unusual person." Thus, you decide to join Bayou Village.]
[Month 2: You finally locate Biyou Village, and, as an ordinary person, you successfully join the village.]
You enthusiastically volunteer every time Ma Xianhong needs ordinary people for experiments, leaving him with a good impression.
[Month 3: With the help of Zhuge Qing and Wang Ye, Ma Xianhong perfects the Cultivation Furnace, and you are transformed into an unusual person.]
Shortly after your transformation, temporary workers from Quanxin Express arrive at Biyou Village.
Seeing Ma Xianhong defeated by Feng Baobao and the others, you immediately surrender and become a new employee of Quanxin Express.
Looking at the text on the simulation panel, Xiao Feng couldn't help but quip, "As expected, the end of the universe is bureaucracy!"
[Year 1: You have adapted to your work at Quanxin Express. During a routine mission to apprehend an unusual person, you unfortunately encounter the 'Four Madmen' of the Full Circle faction. You die!]
[This simulation has ended!]

"Perfect!!"
Seeing that he had drawn [Ma Xianhong's Artifact Crafting Experience], Xiao Feng couldn't contain his excitement and slapped his thigh.
Ma Xianhong's crafting technique, known as Divine Craftsmanship, represented the pinnacle of artefact creation in the Under One Person universe.
In the original storyline, Ma Xianhong was able to develop items like the dimensional-storage Feeding Bag and unique ability puppets.
If Ma Xianhong were to be transported to the Douqi Continent, using his artifact-crafting skills combined with the unique materials of that world, he would likely create treasures on par with the Black Magic Cauldron and the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
Without hesitation, Xiao Feng spent several thousand merit points to buy the relatively inexpensive nine rewards. He then used his free draw to snag the 200,000 merit point-valued [Ma Xianhong's Artifact Crafting Experience] for free.
"Use it!"
With that thought in mind, the pink light sphere representing [Ma Xianhong's Artifact Crafting Experience] entered Xiao Feng's forehead.
The surge of Ma Xianhong's decades of crafting experience flooded Xiao Feng's mind like a tidal wave, causing his head to throb.
Once Xiao Feng had sorted through all the memories, he fully mastered the Divine Craftsmanship technique, allowing him to recreate any artefact or treasure except for the Cultivation Furnace.
The Cultivation Furnace's core component required the Perfected Hands technique, which could not be recreated with Divine Craftsmanship alone.
A sharp gleam flashed through Xiao Feng's eyes as he summoned his Dragon Tooth Sword, then immediately began refining it with his Douqi using Divine Craftsmanship.
With his total effort, Xiao Feng only took about five seconds to complete a process that would take others years: successfully refining and controlling the sword.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…"
The Dragon Tooth Sword, now refined, danced around Xiao Feng like a living creature, performing complex manoeuvres.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that with his masterful sword control technique, Xiao Feng could now claim the title of Sword Immortal.
Moreover, Xiao Feng discovered that pairing sword control techniques with the Dugu Nine Swords further amplified their power.
After all, compared to wielding a sword by hand, controlling it with energy was far more flexible and capable of moves that humans could never achieve.
Having tasted the thrill of being a Sword Immortal, Xiao Feng then absorbed the skill orb containing [Zhang Chulan's Golden Light Curse Experience] into his body.
The Golden Light Curse was the foundational technique of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Sect, allowing practitioners to convert internal energy into protective golden light, much like a Dou Grandmaster's Douqi Armor.
However, the golden light formed by the curse was more versatile than Douqi Armor. It could transform into various shapes and even be used offensively.
As practitioners' strength increased, the protective golden light became more robust and more flexible in its use.
After mastering the Golden Light Curse, Xiao Feng could integrate it into his Douqi Armor, further enhancing its defence, and also incorporate it into his Dou Techniques to boost their power.
For instance, when Xiao Feng used the Dragon Subduing Palm, he could summon a solid golden dragon to attack his enemies, unleashing power comparable to that of a high-tier Xuan class Dou Technique.
