Devouring the Starry Sky begins with the battle of geniuses

Chapter 2 Goal Establishment
Seeing the text starting from "the beginning of the third year" in the simulation record, Hunzhen took a breath of air!
He always thought that he had just traveled to a science fiction world where interstellar civilization flourished, but after seeing the words "Virtual Universe Company", he finally realized that something was wrong.

He actually traveled to a world where science fiction novels swallow the stars!
Even though there is a possibility of the existence of a force with the same name, Hunzhen has a strong premonition and is [-]% convinced of this conjecture!

In other words, he wants to believe it!
Analog records are still sliding.

[You are ecstatic. After entering the virtual universe and confirming carefully, you are finally convinced that this is the world that swallows the stars]

[You notice that the decisive battle space in the virtual universe is extremely lively. It seems that a grand event is about to start, and it seems that a grand celebration is coming]

[A month later, a void list appeared in the virtual universe, and the battle of geniuses in the universe began.You were just excited for a while, and suddenly remembered that you only have the fourth level of apprentice combat power, and you have not even reached the threshold to participate... The excitement is theirs, you have nothing]

[In the sixth year, among the colleagues in the same period, the No. 1 warrior who reached the seventh level finally appeared. Your superior "mentor" was ecstatic and informed you that there is another realm above the ninth level of warrior.He also announced that those who break through the seventh level within a year will receive the best training and will most likely be promoted to the same level as him.At this time, you are still at the fourth level]

[Your superiors are finally convinced that your talent is not outstanding, and your previous performance was just a flash in the pan, so your resources have been significantly reduced]

[In the seventh year, you finally broke through to the fifth level. Amid the contempt of your colleagues, you were transferred out of Night City and became a mid-level officer in Li City.You look a little disappointed on the surface, but secretly happy in your heart - you finally have the chance to escape]

[In the eighth year, you had many plans, thought you had removed the chip safely, and started your escape.But just as you were leaving the city, you saw your mentor who sneered at you】

【you are dead.When you are dying, you realize that even if you can connect to the virtual universe, with your technology and connections, you may never be able to remove the chip silently under the eyes of the company]

【End of this simulation】

[Please select the inheritance direction]

[1. Material inheritance (cultivation level breaks through to the fifth level of apprentice)]

[2. Soul inheritance (your sword skills are perfect, your body skills are subtle, your combat experience is slightly improved, and you have some other knowledge and experience)]

【3. Give up this simulation income】

"Cultivation level breaks through the fifth level!?"

"Perfect sword skills and meticulous body skills!?"

How to choose?
Hunzhen was shocked by the huge harvest at first, but soon he shook his head and knew that he actually had no choice.

Breaking through from the second level to the third level in the short term will not attract the company's attention.Even if an interested person notices an abnormality, he can explain it by killing his colleagues, plundering resources, and gaining some insights.

But within two days, he broke through from the third level to the fifth level. The chip will definitely upload the abnormal information, and then everyone will know that there is something wrong with him!
The most likely outcome is that the mentor who is directly in charge of them takes action against him for an opportunity that does not exist. Even if it is later discovered that he was "unjustly accused", he will most likely be dead.

Before leaving the company's control, he could not choose material inheritance.

However, choosing the latter does not mean huge losses.

"As your realm improves, your control over power becomes stronger. If you go back and promote your body's evolution, your efficiency will naturally be higher!"

"Just choose two!"

Countless insights came to my mind.

In an instant, it seemed as if he had gone through several years, fighting and fighting with hundreds of different people, as well as gaining insights from practicing alone for several years.

There is no doubt that this is the simulation he has accumulated the most. Compared with the previous second, it is like going through a transformation.

The sharpness in his eyes seemed to turn into substance, capable of cutting through hard steel.

But the next second, he closed and opened his eyes, and returned to the ancient well.

There was no sign of an unstable foundation at all, and it was already able to move freely.

"The martial arts I have today are all due to my hard work. How can I have a weak foundation?"

Hun Zhen was attentive, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "So my talent is still good?" In the original work, from the time when Luo Feng first entered the martial arts, it took less than a year for Luo Feng to perfect his body skills and touch his artistic conception with his sword skills—— Of course, touching the artistic conception does not mean entering this realm completely. According to the original description, when Luo Feng entered the God of War preparation camp, his swordsmanship had reached the second level of "basic, specialization, perfection, and artistic conception".

Hunzhen didn't intend to compare with the protagonist, but compared with the members of the Fire Hammer team that Luo Feng joined at the beginning, Hunzhen thought that she was pretty good.

He secretly thought to himself that in the early days of the earth, those who could become warriors were considered geniuses, and since he was considered a genius among warriors, he couldn't be considered bad, right?

Hunzhen has no self-consciousness at all.

In the early stage, the soul qualifications of the earthlings were not obvious, and they were evaluated as ninth-level bloodlines, while the Balian people were only eighth-level bloodlines, if not the most rubbish tenth-level bloodlines.

The two original owners, a brother and a sister, were originally slave traders and were sold to the company as killers. In fact, their qualifications were among the best among their kind.

But among his colleagues who have survived to this day, his talent is undoubtedly at the bottom.

Hunzhen was not discouraged, and even had other thoughts in her heart as she gained several years of combat experience.

He has always been suspicious of the company's purpose.

It can be seen from the fact that colleagues in the same period broke through the seventh level and their superiors were ecstatic that the company must have other desires for killers like them.

There is nothing good to say about issuing tasks, but the requirement to kill one colleague every month is really puzzling.

Rather than saying it is an assessment, it is more like... raising gu.

I have absolutely no idea about the company's purpose and scale.

It was as if there was a dark fog surrounding him all the time. Every time he thought that his wealth and life were completely in the hands of the company, this involuntary feeling made him shiver all over.

However, if you want to know the truth behind it, this strength is naturally not enough.

If you get involved carelessly, you might end up wasting your life without even seeing a scrap of the company's layout.

But now, an opportunity to flip the table lies in front of him.

In the battle between peak geniuses, if you can survive it, no matter how many tricks and schemes you use, they will be defeated.

A small company is just a pond, and it is impossible to trap the hidden dragon that is about to ascend.

In three years, when the genius war came, he reached the ninth level of the star and the ninth level of the domain. This was the limit Hunzhen set for himself.

Hunzhen knows very well that in this cosmic-scale world, the gap between geniuses and mortals is wider than the gap between humans and microorganisms.

A moment of genius is sometimes worth more than a century of mediocrity.

In three years and thousands of simulation opportunities, he was by no means without a chance of winning.

However, once you slack off, victory is by no means certain.

He has realized that continuing to use the simulation system in the original way will not maximize his potential.

According to his vital interests, after being transferred away from the company's center of real power, he should quietly cultivate in hiding.

But in the simulation, he chose to try to break free from the cage, and ended up dying.

In addition, the time spent in this simulation is clearly dozens of times longer than before. In comparison, it is not certain whether the benefits of soul inheritance can be ten times greater.

Fortunately, the imminent threat has been removed, and he will have a relatively stable period of time to test, explore, and understand the rules of the simulation system.
