Chapter 8: Ecstasy! Picking Up Money in a Sack
The moment the simulation text announced the impending red rain, Chen Pingchuan’s groggy mind snapped to attention. Whether I can confirm my suspicions all depends on this run.
[Three days later, the red rain arrived as expected.]
[On the first day of the storm, you adeptly donned a black raincoat and boots. You possessed an inexplicable familiarity with the Purple Bird Gang’s territory and, under the cover of night, transformed into the Rainy Night Butcher, slaughtering your way through their base.]
[You acquired eight vials of Gene Enhancement Potion, over 800,000 Federation Coins, and various pieces of gold and silver jewelry...]
[Your expression was cold as red rainwater slid off the edge of your hood.]
[As a veteran, you had reached a state of being unmoved by worldly gains or personal setbacks.]
[You returned to your dilapidated rental in the Outer District to sort through your gains. You consumed all eight vials of Gene Enhancement Potion in one go, feeling like an overinflated balloon that would burst with the slightest touch.]
[After a whole night of turmoil, you finally managed to tame this power, significantly enhancing your physical condition.]
A small smirk touched Chen Pingchuan’s lips as he exhaled. His speculation was confirmed.
The reason he hadn’t chosen the Gene Enhancement Potion option when the last simulation ended was precisely this: as long as the real-world timeline hadn’t reached the day of the cataclysm, he could endlessly farm the Purple Bird Gang instance under the cover of the red rain.
That’s right. Chen Pingchuan already considered the Purple Bird Gang, the top power in the Outer District, his personal pantry. He would freeload off them in every single simulation.
As anyone who’s lived long enough knows, freeloading for a bit is great, but freeloading forever is even better.
