"My golden finger has finally arrived!"
Chen Mo was tearful, yet without tears.
Thatâs right, he is a transmigrator, as a fortune-teller once said he was full of evil qi, destined for a killing catastrophe.
Two days ago, for no apparent reason, his soul transmigrated to the Canglan Continent, into a person with the same name in the Great Song Dynasty, a fake eunuch.
Itâs said to be a fake eunuch because the original host had a twin brother who looked identical, and their height and voice were almost the same, and sometimes even their parents would mix them up.
Recently, the original hostâs hometown was hit by a flood, and his parents died, the entire village was submerged, only Chen Mo survived by chance.
When the original hostâs brother serving as a eunuch in the Imperial Palace learned about this, he took leave to go home for the funeral.
Unexpectedly, less than a day after the funeral was completed, the original hostâs eunuch brother got sick and passed away hastily.
Before he died, the original hostâs brother boasted about the wonderful life in the Imperial Palace and said he was now serving the Empress.
The Empress was kind-hearted and treated him well, and so on...
Thus, the original host impulsively, after handling the funeral of his parents and brother, swapped into his brotherâs clothes and, as if controlled by fate, entered the Imperial Palace as a fake eunuch.
No one knew if the original host was infected or something else, but three days ago he had a fever and sweated. The original host, not wanting others to know he was a fake eunuch, didnât say anything, took a few days off, concocted a remedy, and treated himself.
In the end, he couldnât resist and passed away two days ago.
And now, Chen Mo occupies the magpieâs nest.
When he grasped all the memories of the original host, Chen Mo broke out in a cold sweat in fear.
What an amazing guy.
The original host was unusually courageous.
Daring to impersonate his brother to be a fake eunuch in the Imperial Palace.
A eunuch serving the Empress.
If discovered, beheading would be the least of his worries.
This could implicate nine generations.
He must have been really brave.
Oh, everyone is gone, so itâs okay.
Besides, Chen Mo remembered once reading a news article online, saying that in ancient times, eunuchs had to undergo a physical examination once a year, called "pure verification," and if anything grew back, it had to be cut again.
Therefore, even if Chen Mo could hide this usually, it wouldnât last.
You might dodge for a while, but not forever.
So, these past two days, Chen Mo lived in agony, constantly worried about his identity being exposed.
Luckily, now the system has arrived.
Anyone who has read novels knows that possessing a system represents ascending to the peak of life, marrying a rich beautiful woman, itâs just a matter of time.
Thinking about the wonderful life that is about to arrive.
Chen Mo excitedly hurried to check the system.
[Ding! Cultivation Simulator has been activated.]
[Great turmoil countdown: 9 days 23 hours 58 minutes 51 seconds.]
[Do you want to start Immortal Cultivation Simulation?]
"???
Three question marks immediately appeared on Chen Moâs forehead.
This system is not right.
Shouldnât there be an attribute panel, then ask me to open a newbie gift pack?
Whatâs Cultivation Simulator?
Is it that web mini-game?
The name Chen Mo seemed somewhat familiar.
And great turmoil?
But at such a critical moment, Chen Mo didnât have time to dwell on these issues, and immediately chose to start.
[Ding, Immortal Cultivation Simulation has started.]
[Current selectable talents: Master of Civil Works, Master of Celibacy, Golden Finger, Charm Expert...]
[Please choose three of the above talents for the Immortal Cultivation Simulation.]
Chen Mo felt a surge of interest.
Turns out itâs a gaming-style golden finger.
No one understands this better than I do.
From the ten talents offered, Chen Mo chose three.
[Master of Civil Works (Purple): IQ 250, able to detect the otherâs realm cultivation.]
[Master of Celibacy (Orange): To achieve divine skill, must first self-castrate. After self-castration, cultivation techniques and martial arts have a doubled effect, and training speed is super doubled.]
[Charm Expert (Purple): Increase in attractiveness, charisma super doubled.]
Talents have different colors, namely blue, purple, orange, and gold, with blue being the lowest and gold the highest.
Since itâs a gaming-style golden finger, Chen Mo naturally picked the best talents.
As for whether he self-castrates or not, it doesnât matter, itâs simulation.
[Selection complete, simulation starts.]
[First Day: Great turmoil arrives, uprisings arise throughout the Great Song Dynasty, heaven is dead, Yellow Heaven shall stand. Youâre in the Imperial Palace, the safest place in the Great Song Dynasty, planning to develop secretly and then astonish everyone.]
[Second Day: You were exceptionally promoted by the Empress from Third-Class Eunuch to First-Class Eunuch.]
[Third Day: A palace maid accidentally discovered your affair with the Empress, you died.]
[Ding! This Immortal Cultivation Simulation has ended: You may permanently retain one talent, solidifying it in the real world.]
[The Cultivation Simulator enters cooldown, simulation days this time: Three days. Cooldown time: Thirty minutes.]
Chen Moâs expression was dazed.
A bit stunned.
Whoa, big whoa.
An affair with the Empress.
Though the simulator only used a single sentence to express his consequence.
Yet thinking about it, putting a green hat on the Emperor, being quartered would be lenient.
Chen Mo instinctively shivered.
This must be the effect of the Charm Expert talent.
But I must say, this talent is indeed remarkable.
In just a few days, it managed to lure the Empress into risking her head to have ambiguity with a "eunuch" like him.
Yet holy cow notwithstanding.
Seeing the simulatorâs prompt allowing retention of a talent, solidifying it in reality, Chen Moâs heart was racing.
This is the true function of the golden finger.
Chen Mo checked the details.
Itâs simple.
Firstly, he can, every time a simulation ends, choose a talent to solidify into reality, and the talent will also be included in the next simulation and wonât occupy selectable talent slots.
Secondly, he can simulate countless times a day but can only solidify one talent into reality.
However, before choosing, he can lock what he deems a good talent, and replace it if a better one appears afterwards, but in that dayâs time, he must choose one, or it will be considered abandoned.
After reading this, Chen Mo immediately became excited.
If every day I refine one golden talent and bring it out, ten days later, Iâll possess ten golden talents, wouldnât that directly make me âWuhuâ!
He saw a glimmer of hope for survival.
He pondered for a while.
He first locked the Master of Civil Works talent.
Master of Celibacy requires self-castration.
As a man, if that thing is gone, no matter how strong, whatâs the point?
As for Charm Expert, itâs too troublesome.
Even the Empress couldnât resist, and he is still in the harem, not to mention hooking up with the concubines, even an affair with a palace maid is a capital crime.
Even ten heads wouldnât be enough to chop off.
Besides, the original hostâs looks are already considered superior, itâs enough.
Because heâs still taking time off, Chen Mo didnât rush to go to work, and after thirty minutes of cooldown ended, continued to simulate.
