The Beginning: Simulating the Apocalypse - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Deductive Rewards, Genetic Potion

In Jiang Yi’s perspective, the human evolvers emerged from their bunkers, attempting to counterattack the monstrous beasts.

However, the number of humans remaining was too insignificant compared to the vast multitude of beasts.

It’s too late, Jiang Yi thought, shaking his head.

Humanity had been nearly wiped out, and three years had been spent researching the gene serum. That period was just too long.

[During the host’s reflection, the civilization of Earth’s humanity fell into complete despair. It was astonishingly discovered that the rate of evolution of the beasts far exceeded the development speed of the gene serum.]

[The Sakura Country was the first to be annihilated, submerged by a dragon-like creature from the depths of the ocean.]

[In the territory of Summer Country, colossal beasts emerged, one of which crushed the survivors’ bunker with a single stomp.]

[X Country persisted the longest but eventually dispersed in a sudden beast tide.]

With the end of human civilization, the world of simulation came to a standstill. Countless towering beasts halted their advance, and the entire world seemed eerily quiet.

[Blue Star’s human civilization has ended, ushering in the long-absent era of giant beasts. Host, would you like to save at this point?]

The system’s voice rang out, as cold and indifferent as ever.

“The story of a parallel world has ended,” Jiang Yi mused with a wistful expression. “Save it, and name this record ‘Evolutionary Frenzy·World’s End’, placed after the initial file.”

[Save successful, name set.]

[This deduction ends here. We welcome the host for the next usage.].

As the system spoke, Jiang Yi’s world shifted again, returning him to the plain rental room, as if everything experienced was just an illusion.

“The flow of time differs between reality and the world of simulation,” Jiang Yi noted, turning to his computer, where the screen still displayed the same time as when he started.

[Reward distribution for this simulation begins now, as follows: Gene Serum Type I, Unknown Meteorite Virus, Martial Artist’s Basic Body Tempering Technique]

[All rewards are accessible to the host through mere thought.]

Upon the system’s announcement, three virtual items appeared before Jiang Yi, complete with detailed attribute panels.

“These three items… So, rewards can be obtained from the world of simulation,” Jiang Yi exclaimed in surprise and delight.

The Gene Serum was self-explanatory, a top-tier item that could drive the evolution of the human genetic sequence, granting the strength to combat giant beasts.

The meteorite virus, the root cause of the world’s end in the simulation, could also be viewed as the key to unlocking biological evolution.

Finally the Martial Artist’s Body Tempering Technique, while seemingly less impressive than the first two, was still a valuable asset.

“If future deductions lead to worlds of spiritual Qi resurgence or mythological invasions, could I step into immortality and become truly transcendent?” Jiang Yi wondered aloud.

For now, that seemed far off. He took the Gene Serum Type I, and after confirming it posed no harm to his body, he consumed it. A warm current flowed down his throat and spread throughout his body, forcefully evolving every part of him.

Despite the excruciating pain from the rapid genetic evolution, the benefits were staggering. His physical fitness and mental processing improved dramatically. Even a simple punch now produced a fierce gust.

“Martial artists, truly formidable!” Jiang Yi looked at his clenched fist, pondering the potential of deduced martial artists confronting top-tier beasts.

What if he continued simulating the human civilization of that world and changed their doomed fate? Could he obtain a more potent gene serum?

“When can I conduct the next simulation?” he inquired internally, eager for a more powerful serum.

[Ding! 24 hours remaining until the next simulation. Please wait patiently.]

The system’s cold, mechanical voice replied.

Jiang Yi sighed, resigned to waiting, and started to practice the Martial Artist’s Body Tempering Technique. He gradually regained control over his newly enhanced body, while his mind raced with thoughts about the simulation system and his future.

“If the system speaks true, and the simulated worlds are possible parallel universes, then the real world might also be struck by a meteorite.”

As he pondered, Jiang Yi realized the horrifying potential of the meteorite-borne virus to accelerate global evolution. If such an event occurred in the real world, it would likely mirror the “Evolutionary Frenzy” scenario, leading to humanity’s collective downfall.

“I wonder where that meteorite came from. If only it could be annihilated from the start.” Jiang Yi thought deeply but lacked any real solution.

Even with advancements in the gene serum, confronting a meteorite was beyond human capability. It was a disaster beyond human resolution.

With a sigh, Jiang Yi settled down to await the cooldown of the simulation period. For now, his only option was to rely on continuous simulations to enhance his strength.
