Chapter 1: The Apocalypse Is Coming, Good Thing I Have a Simulator!

“Ultra-thin… where is it?”

In front of the convenience-store counter.

The female college student murmured to herself while letting her eyes wander in search of her preferred condoms.

The 60-denier black stockings beneath her short skirt revealed a hint of silky sheen…

“Huh… Su Ze? Are you working part-time here?”

She suddenly noticed that the cashier behind the counter was the handsome guy from her class.

The college girl put on an innocent act and greeted him with a smile.

At the same time, she unobtrusively put the condoms back and replaced them with chewing gum.

She could always buy condoms somewhere else; she must not leave a bad impression on the man she had long coveted…

“Yeah, part-time…”

Su Ze answered in a calm but distracted voice.

While scanning her items, he suddenly blurted out a question for no apparent reason.

“Tell me… if the world ends tomorrow, what would you do?”

“The end of the world? I…”

“Just kidding, don’t take it so seriously.”

Su Ze casually ended the topic before she could overthink it.

Not long ago he had decided that, from now on, he would discuss life only with women who were at least an 8.5 out of 10.

The college girl in front of him, a mere 6 or 7 at best, naturally failed to catch his eye. (A/N: He’ll get better, don’t worry)

Su Ze sat down slowly after the classmate left.

His gaze froze slightly as he stared at the message that had just appeared before his eyes…

『Apocalypse Simulator V1.0 (Countdown: 6 days 23 hours 58 minutes; after the apocalypse arrives, the simulator will upgrade to V2.0)』

『Please choose whether to start the apocalypse simulation』

For the past 20 years, Su Ze had thought that being a transmigrator was the greatest cheat he could ever have.

He never expected… that there was an even greater trump card!

Yet the simulator that suddenly popped up before him did not seem entirely pleasant…

“The apocalypse?”

“Zombies?”

“Wait, do zombies shrug off 7.62 rounds or what?”

Though he complained inwardly, he could only accept reality for now.

There was no doubt that the world would undergo drastic change in seven days.

In other words, the so-called doomsday.

However, the simulator offered little information.

He had no idea whether the coming catastrophe would be a cliché zombie apocalypse, an asteroid hitting Blue Star, or some other horror.

Su Ze simply did not know…

He only knew that he could not sit and wait for death.

Just like the question he had just asked the girl…

The apocalypse was coming, so what did he plan to do?

“This is so damn screwed.”

Su Ze scratched his head and kept grumbling silently.

Cursing was only natural.

After all, as a transmigrator he had long used the advantage of two lifetimes to join the ranks of the successful.

His assets were worth tens of millions.

Although that did not make him a big shot in Su City, a quasi-tier-one metropolis, it was enough for financial freedom.

Besides, he was still so young… and had a brilliant life ahead of him… and possessed impressive, long-lasting stamina…

In short, his future looked bright.

“Phew…”

Su Ze slowly let out a turbid breath and collected his thoughts.

He focused all his attention on the simulator before him.

There were no prompts and no instructions.

Fortunately, Su Ze knew games like simulators very well…

If he wanted to know what this simulator could do, he simply had to try it.

『Ding!』

『Apocalypse simulation started, loading…』

With a single thought from Su Ze, the first simulation officially began.

『You may choose one of the following three Talents as your innate Talent for this simulation! (Talents have 5 grades: white, green, blue, purple, and gold, from low to high.)』

『Professional Boxer (green): Your fists will be as deadly as those of a top fighter in your weight class; an ordinary person who takes a punch from you may be knocked out on the spot.』

『Touching Stomach (white): You eat grass and produce milk; you are extremely energy-efficient and need only half the usual meal to feel full and restore the energy your body needs.』

『Sharpshooter (blue): Your sense for firearms soars; dropping enemies from 800 meters is a trivial matter, and you can even curve bullets… Yan Shuangying himself would call that awesome.』

Yo!

So there are Talents to pick?

It seemed the difficulty of this apocalypse game was not as high as he had imagined…

The Talents drawn in this first simulation were rather lousy in grade, though.

The best one was only blue.

He felt he had no choice but to pick one while holding his nose.

Still…

Su Ze was fairly confident in his own apocalypse survival game.

After all, he had the edge of foreknowledge.

Everyone else still had no clue the apocalypse was coming… yet he could prepare a few days in advance and, at the very least, would probably outlive most people for a while.

The most important thing was this.

He was not a greedy man.

He did not seek grand achievements during the apocalypse; a safe house where he could peacefully live out his days would suffice…

Hmm…

On second thought, just a safe house sounded dull; better keep two lovely ladies… twenty? Forget it, even an iron kidney could not take that abuse, a couple would be enough.

『Talent selected: Sharpshooter (blue)』

『Simulation Sart…』

『Day 1: The sun set and did not rise again, a blood moon hung overhead, and the apocalypse arrived on schedule; you had prepared in advance and hid inside the newly rented high-rise single building, quietly observing the changing situation.』

『Day 2: The temperature plummeted and the long night continued; official news advised everyone to stay at home and avoid going out, you heard many horrifying rumors and saw fires break out all over the city… chaos everywhere.』

『Day 3: The young married woman downstairs kindly brought you food and tried to seek emotional comfort from you; you had long said goodbye to being a cuckold and resolved to protect true love… unless you could not resist.』

You slept with her; soon after, you noticed your eyes turning blood-red and lost consciousness.

『Day 4: Your mind was hazy as you sank into primal impulses…』

『Day 5: Your mind was hazy…』

『Day 6: Your mind was hazy and you died.』

“What the hell?!”

How did I… just die like that?!

Su Ze widened his eyes and read the simulation details carefully.

After intercourse his eyes turned blood-red and he lost consciousness…

“Hiss!”

Why did this feel so much like that certain Yang Guo game…

『Simulation Assessment: A brief trip through the apocalypse, hard to find any highlights』

『Please choose one reward from the following three options』

『(After each simulation ends, three rewards related to that simulation will be offered; once you pick a reward, the simulator enters a 20-hour cooldown; if you decline, the cooldown is only 10 minutes… this rule applies only to version 1.0.)』

『Rewards:』

『1. Professional Boxer (Talent)』

『2. An information-rich apocalypse rumor』

『3. Unknown virus antibody』

Eh…

There were rewards as well!?

And it seemed earlier Talents could also appear among the reward options…

Hiss…

Su Ze’s breathing instantly grew hotter.

If he could snag a few gold-grade Talents or some other powerful rewards before the apocalypse began… then in this apocalypse he would be… invincible!
