Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

And to bring out these two rewards, he would need more than 500 million energy...

"It seems I have to find a way to get more energy,"

Su Xing's brow furrowed slightly, but he suddenly thought of something and muttered,

"Speaking of which, more than a week has passed, and the batch of high-grade exotic metals I gave to Jin Congxue should have been partially refined by now, right?"

With that thought, Su Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly made a call to Jin Congxue.

"Hello, Sister Xue! It's me..."

"How much of the exotic metals I asked you to refine is done?"

Su Xing asked somewhat nervously.

Jin Congxue's voice came from the other end of the line.

"About a third, I guess. Why, do you want to take a batch early?"

Su Xing nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Sister Xue, I need it urgently..."

After hearing this, Jin Congxue thought for a moment and said,

"All right, come to me now. I happen to be going to inspect a duplicate instance. Let's go there together, and I can get you the refined exotic metals!"

Su Xing quickly nodded in agreement.

Afterward, he again disguised himself and met with Jin Congxue at the villa.

Under Jin Congxue's lead, Su Xing soon arrived at a duplicate instance coordinate.

After showing their credentials, the two entered the mining area instance.

Once inside the mining area instance, Su Xing's gaze swept around and then he habitually released his Divine Sense.

The mining area instance wasn't very large, only a few square kilometers.

Through Su Xing's Divine Sense, every detail within the mining area instance came into clear view.

Thousands of low-level professionals with abilities ranging from bronze to gold grade were using special machines to refine and process exotic metal ore.

And in the warehouse and open space, mountains of unrefined raw ore had yet to be processed.

Su Xing approached a large block of unrefined ore, mixed with exotic metals.

Moved by a thought, Su Xing tried to absorb it.

[Ding, substance containing a small amount of simulator energy detected, valued at 10,293 points of energy. Would you like to absorb it?]

Su Xing chose not to absorb it.

Because unrefined ore only provided half of the energy when absorbed.

Although this would reduce the refining time, since he only needed to excavate.

But for Su Xing, the efficiency of obtaining simulator energy was almost the same.

Of course, if Su Xing were willing to mine high-grade exotic metal ores himself, he would certainly obtain energy much faster.

Soon, under Jin Congxue's guidance, Su Xing arrived at a warehouse and saw many refined high-grade exotic metals.

Su Xing placed all these exotic metals into his storage ring and then went to the next duplicate instance with Jin Congxue.

After visiting six mining area instances, Su Xing finally bade Jin Congxue farewell.

Back in his dormitory, Su Xing decisively entered the Spirit Field Cave.

Then, he prepared to convert the refined exotic metals into simulator energy.

[Ding, large amounts of energy-containing material detected, valued at 730.56 million energy points. Would you like to absorb it?]

Su Xing's eyes shone upon hearing that and he quickly did some calculations.

The exotic metals sent over for refining were valued at about 20 billion energy points and would take a little more than three weeks to fully refine.

Now that more than a week had passed, this amounted to roughly one-third and a bit more.

"A total worth of over 7 billion... phew~ the difference before and after refining is really huge!"

Su Xing sighed, then resolutely chose to absorb.

After the absorption, Su Xing's energy reached an unprecedented level, coming to a total of 1,081.02 million simulator energy points!

He had surpassed one billion!

At the same time, the simulator's notification sound rang in Su Xing's ear.

[Ding, the host's accumulated energy has reached ten billion. The Life Simulator 4.0 update is now unlocked. The update features are as follows:]

[1. Golden Legend Talent Lottery feature is unlocked. The draw costs 1 million simulator energy points. Each talent draw has a one percent chance of awarding a Golden Legend quality talent and a ninety-nine percent chance of a Purple quality talent.]

[2. Every 100 million energy points spent increases the probability of drawing a Golden Legend quality talent by one percent. The current version's maximum limit is fifty percent.]

[Supplementary Clause 1: If a Golden quality talent is not drawn on a draw, the probability of a Golden quality talent appearing will increase by ten percent in the next draw. This safety net can accumulate. Once a Golden Talent is drawn, the accumulated bonus is reset...]

[Supplementary Clause 2: Be advised that Golden Legend quality talents offer a significant upgrade over Purple talents. Use them wisely...]

Su Xing carefully read the terms of this Life Simulator update.

In just a few minutes, Su Xing's emotions roller-coastered from elation to cursing to relief!

The good news: the simulator version was updated, allowing Su Xing to draw even more precious Golden Legend quality talents!

And the draw wasn't expensive, costing only 1 million simulator energy points each time.

The bad news: it was a lottery draw with a one percent chance of getting a Golden Legend quality talent...

So, given the simulator's capricious lottery mechanism, it was highly likely that Su Xing would spend a million for just a Purple quality talent.

The final piece of good news: there was a safety net! And the safety net could accumulate!

That's to say, if Su Xing spent 1 million simulator energy points and only got a Purple quality talent the first time,

the probability of drawing a Golden quality talent next time would increase from one percent to eleven percent!
