Chapter 47: Descendant of the Dragon (Patreon)

For Victor, the only good news was that Lingsha was currently on the ZhuMing Xianzhou, and the 'plot' had not yet officially begun. The Trailblazer had not yet boarded the Astral Express, and the great curtain had not yet risen.

Victor thought for a moment and decided to simulate Lingsha's scenario.

Lingsha would only arrive at the Luofu after Phantylia came to stir up trouble on the Xianzhou. If he couldn't even get past the initial hurdles, what was the point of talking about the future.

He urgently needed to acquire enough power to protect himself before Phantylia reached the Luofu to cause chaos.

As if sensing his determination, when it came time to select traits before entering the simulation, the system suddenly refreshed with several high-quality options.

【Immortal Heritage (Gold): Influenced by the legacy of the Dragon of 'Immortality,' the experience, knowledge, and talents you gain in each reincarnation will be passed down and accumulated in the next life.】 (This trait is a beginner-difficulty bonus and cannot be selected upon settlement.)

Victor's eyes instantly lit up. This golden bonus trait was undoubtedly a god-tier item for grinders.

Moreover, after so many simulations, he had started to grasp some of the simulation's patterns.

Since the golden bonus trait that appeared in each beginner-difficulty run was meant to lower the scenario's difficulty, it was bound to be closely related to his simulated character and could greatly strengthen them.

This golden trait looked like it was prepared for the Vidyadhara, meaning his next simulated character was highly likely to be a Vidyadhara.

If paired with 'Steady Accumulation,' it could achieve an effect where 1+1 is greater than 2.

If it only passed on experience and knowledge, the secret arts of the Vidyadhara could already accomplish that, which wouldn't be game-breaking.

But the fact that even talent ceilings could be stacked was simply terrifying.

To put it bluntly, if this simulation scenario had no time limit, he could keep stacking until he surpassed an Aeon!

One should never underestimate the power of grinding to max level in the starting zone.

Unfortunately, this golden trait was also a bonus trait and had significant restrictions, practically having a 'Vidyadhara Exclusive' label slapped on it.

Victor quickly calmed himself and continued reading.

【Medical Genius (Blue): In the hallowed halls of medicine, you are like a brilliant star, illuminating the entire field with your extraordinary talent and profound knowledge. You are hailed as a medical genius, possessing transcendent medical skills. Your hands seem to be endowed with magical power, able to perceive the essence of diseases and, with precise diagnosis and treatment, grant countless patients a new lease on life.】

【Multitasking (White): Able to focus on and handle multiple tasks simultaneously.】

【Solitary Scholar (Blue): Prefers to conduct research alone and is not good at socializing. IQ is increased, EQ is decreased.】 (Note: Has miraculous effects when paired with sharp-tongued talents.)

【Frail and Sickly (Green): You were born with a weak constitution and are prone to illness. However, as the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor. Slightly improves medical skill level.】

First, 'Medical Genius (Blue)' should be an advanced version of 'Proficient in Medicine (Green),' with a noticeably enhanced effect.

Aside from its low rank, 'Multitasking' seemed to have no drawbacks.

As for 'Solitary Scholar (Blue),' Victor felt a strong sense of déjà vu the moment he saw it. Combined with the note that followed...

Victor guessed that a certain female member of the Genius Society, who liked to run around using puppets, not only had advanced traits but also definitely possessed some sharp-tongued ones.

Then again, aside from the gentle and refined Screwllum who seemed like a normal person, most members of the Genius Society were probably as reclusive as Herta.

How does that saying go? Geniuses are always lonely.

Besides other geniuses, there were probably very few people whom geniuses would look upon favorably and consider friends.

The last item, 'Frail and Sickly,' was a debuff, and Victor ruled it out immediately.

The beginner difficulty of Lingsha's scenario was not high, so he could still choose two initial traits.

The golden bonus trait was a must-pick. Once he confirmed the scenario's difficulty wasn't high, Victor would immediately find a way to get himself killed and restart.

Right now, he was hesitating between 'Medical Genius' and 'Solitary Scholar.'

The two traits were of the same quality, but 'Solitary Scholar' clearly had higher potential and a wider range of applications.

However, the debuff of 'Solitary Scholar' was a bit unfriendly.

His simulator already tended to offend people, and now he was supposed to lower his EQ...

Hiss!

Victor could almost see himself following in the footsteps of Brother Cheng, headed for a bad end.

Unless his 'Indestructible Lapis Body' could evolve to withstand attacks on the level of an Aeon, he would try his best to avoid choosing traits that would provoke hostility.

Of course, there was another reason.

Lingsha, Vidyadhara, the Alchemy Commission, and the available traits... he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but Victor felt like the system was deliberately guiding him to choose medicine-related traits.

In any case, he would try the simulation first. He could always restart if things went wrong.

With this thought, Victor began the simulation.

【First Life: You were born from a Vidyadhara egg in the Luofu's Scaled Grotto.】

【After a period of basic studies, you discovered you had considerable talent in medicine, so you joined the Alchemy Commission to continue your studies.】

【After a long period of study, you became a physician of some renown.】

【You grew old and, like other Vidyadhara, chose to undergo reincarnation.】

The first life seemed very ordinary and bland, probably because his medical skills and strength were not yet developed, and he remained in obscurity.

But Victor was not in a hurry. With 'Immortal Heritage' as his trump card, his power would eventually rise.

【Second Life: You were born.】

【Under the protection of the 'Immortality' power, you retained the experience, knowledge, and talent in medicine from your previous life.】

【You quickly stood out among your peers and were hailed as a medical genius.】

【You entered the Alchemy Commission to study, and your medical skills advanced by leaps and bounds.】

【A war between the Xianzhou and the Abundance abominations broke out. You were drafted as a field medic.】

【On the battlefield, you saved the lives of countless Cloud Knight soldiers.】

【The war ended. You returned home with merits, honor, and the gratitude of those you saved.】

【You grew old and reincarnated once more.】

This life could be considered quite virtuous and complete. It's just that such a life, no matter how you looked at it, seemed like the life of a good person, which felt stylistically out of place in a villain simulator.

Had the simulator changed its nature?

Victor scratched the back of his head in confusion.

【Third Life: You were born again.】

【This time, you displayed extremely high medical talent right from birth, even alarming the Vidyadhara Elders.】

【At the tender age of 10, you entered the Alchemy Commission and became a medical apprentice.】

【Your medical skills grew rapidly, and after six hundred years of dedicated research, you finally became a master physician.】

【You saved countless lives with your medical skills.】

【Finally, you reached the limit of a Vidyadhara's lifespan and passed away peacefully, surrounded by many people.】
