Chapter 2: The God Simulator Activates!
In Su Bai’s mind,
the world he had created began frantically absorbing cosmic energy, gradually forming the most basic celestial square.
1 kilometre, 2 kilometres, 3 kilometres.
Watching the world’s area expand, Su Bai’s heart leaped with joy.
This meant future potential.
Even the soil and the world barrier were strengthened.
But at that moment,
the small world seemed to have developed a hole, and energy began to leak out.
The originally expanding area kept shrinking.
“What’s going on?”
Su Bai’s mind was shaken—he had never seen anything like this!
Just as he was puzzled,
a heavenly voice rang in his ears.
[The host has successfully created a world. The God Simulator is now fully activated!].
[Absorbing the required energy for activation!].
It was the culprit.
Su Bai watched helplessly as his small world shrank to the minimum size of 1 kilometre, his eyes wide in shock.
He quickly asked, “God Simulator? What does it do?”
“Stop absorbing! My small world is about to be drained dry!”
Sensing the instability in his small world, the absorbing force stopped.
[The God Simulator grants the host god-like authority, allowing for infinite simulations and trial and error. You can manage your world, develop forces, and build civilizations.].
[It is currently in its early stages and can load talents and different resources in each simulation!].
[In the future, it can absorb extraordinary energy and unlock more functions!].
[For more details, please explore on your own!].
A simulator?
Su Bai had some understanding of simulators from before he transmigrated, and after hearing the God Simulator’s explanation,
his eyes lit up even more.
The energy it absorbed was all worth it!
When it comes to creating and managing a world, the biggest fear is encountering a problem or an enemy from the starry sky.
If something goes wrong, you won’t even have a chance to recover!
But with the God Simulator, he had countless opportunities to make mistakes and try again!
Not to mention there were other functions yet to be unlocked!
Just as Su Bai wanted to continue studying it,
the Awakening Stone in his hand suddenly emitted a flash of light.
“Class One, Su Bai has successfully awakened.”
The supervising teacher announced just in time, not giving the students a chance to make noise.
His expression was strange as he announced:
“World Awakened: 1 kilometre.”
The envious and jealous classmates erupted in surprise.
“He awakened a dud?”
“The lowest level world—it probably can’t even sustain life. The world can’t form an energy cycle, can it?”
“Forget hunting in the chaotic starry sky. I bet a cosmic storm will blow it apart.”
“I’d rather be someone else’s butler than awaken a world like that.”
Many students’ comments were harsh, as if they were seeking psychological balance.
Awakening was usually considered something glorious.
Now that they finally saw a weakling, they wanted to vent their frustrations.
Nearby, some company recruiters, who had previously been smiling and prepared to make offers,
burst out laughing after hearing the supervisor’s report.
“Is that all?”
“There’s no potential for growth—this world isn’t even qualified to be a pasture or pigsty!”
“I bet this 1-kilometre world will collapse in less than a week.”
The initial size represents the future potential!
No wonder their attitudes were so dismissive.
One recruiter with shifty eyes arrogantly handed over a business card.
“From what I see, your awakened world has no potential. You’d better sell it for a good price before it collapses.”
“Our Starsea Corporation specializes in buying abandoned worlds for our seed candidates to devour. How about 100,000 yuan?”
The average annual salary of a regular worker is 50,000 yuan.
They wanted to buy a world for 100,000?!
That couldn’t even buy 0.1 kilometres of land!
Su Bai smiled, took the business card, and tore it in half with a strong flick of his fingers.
He threw the pieces in the recruiter’s face.
The shredded card pieces fell like snowflakes on the recruiter’s shocked expression.
“Even a newly awakened world master isn’t someone you can ridicule.”
With that, Su Bai turned and left.
The company representatives stood there, looking embarrassed.
Others might not know, but Su Bai was well aware.
If it weren’t for the God Simulator waking up and absorbing too much energy, his world would be far larger than it was now.
And with the God Simulator, he had absolute confidence that he would rise to prominence in the starry sky!
…
As per tradition, every student who successfully awakened would receive initial funding from the school.
Top students like Xiang Hu and Chi Lansu were even personally summoned by the principal and awarded various resources.
But Su Bai…
Given his current potential, it was the class teacher, Ms Li, who called him over.
With a slight headache, she said,
“To be honest, it’s a good thing you’ve awakened.”
“But unfortunately, your world is the weakest. Without a large resource investment, it won’t last long before it’s assimilated by the universe.
The school’s financial aid for you is also limited.”
Su Bai remained silent.
Ms Li hesitated for a moment.
With a flick of her finger, a purple card appeared in her hand.
“This is a basic D-Class Climate Card. It will release 10 tons of rainwater rich in organic material into your world.”
“This is the best support I can give you within my authority.”
Su Bai reached out and took the card, which depicted a dark sky with heavy rain pouring down.
The details were so vivid that even the splashing raindrops on the ground were clearly visible.
At the bottom of the card, there was a small line of text:
[Note: The highest good is like water, which benefits all things without contending.].
“Thank you.”
Su Bai smiled as he put the card away.
Cards were condensed from fragments of laws.
Even the cheapest D-Class card was worth 100,000 yuan on the market.
Seeing that Su Bai maintained a good attitude, Ms Li reminded him:
“Of course, you’re not entirely without hope. The college entrance exam in 7 days will be your only chance!”
