"Right, there's also a martial art I haven't claimed yet," Lu Jie suddenly remembered, choosing to claim the martial art skill.
Martial arts were something every surviving human in the simulation world had to master. They practiced day after day to refine their skills, enhancing their physical strength to better utilize their abilities.
Although mastering a martial art at the advanced level wasn't as valuable as the gene serum, it wasn't bad either.
Once Lu Jie claimed the martial arts reward, a wealth of knowledge flooded his mind, and he effortlessly mastered the advanced martial art.
At the same time, Lu Jie was surprised to discover that he could control his body much more effectively now.
"Seems like this advanced martial art reward is unexpectedly awesome," Lu Jie mused.
Afterward, Lu Jie took a shower, got dressed, and decided to play some games.
At noon, Lu Jie planned to go out and indulge in a star-rated hot pot restaurant to satisfy his cravings.
Hot pot in October—it's simply exhilarating.
Due to his enhanced physical condition, Lu Jie's appetite was massive, and he devoured an impressive amount of food, leaving others astounded.
However, after the meal, Lu Jie's mood soured.
He had just spent 2,000 Xuan Coins on the meal.
With only 50,000 Xuan Coins left in his account, he grumbled, "Looks like I need to earn some money."
Although he wasn't particularly invested in the real world anymore, living without money was still tough. After all, money is needed for enjoyment.
Sighing to himself, he returned home and continued playing games, falling asleep by 10 PM.
Though he thought about making a lot of money, he wasn't in a rush—he had plenty of time.
The next morning, around 10 AM, the system was ready for a new round of simulations.
["Host, the simulation function is ready. Do you wish to begin a simulation?"]
The system's voice rang out, and Lu Jie immediately tossed aside his phone to open the system panel.
"Sure, let's run a simulation. This time, I'll load the 'Zombie Apocalypse: Zombie Paradise' scenario," Lu Jie said with a chuckle.
["Loading... loading successful."]
With the system's prompt, Lu Jie's consciousness shifted, and his vision blurred. He found himself standing in the top-tier biological laboratory of the Star Nation.
In a sense, this was where it all began.
Lu Jie muttered to himself.
This time, he was here to test a certain theory.
"It's time to make a big move," Lu Jie exhaled, then made his presence known.
The scientists in the laboratory immediately noticed the sudden appearance of Lu Jie and were momentarily stunned.
["Host's sudden appearance startled the Star Nation biologists, and one of them almost had a heart attack."]
The system couldn't resist making a sarcastic comment.
Lu Jie ignored it.
"Hello, everyone," Lu Jie greeted with a smile.
"Y-You... who are you?" they asked, confused and frightened.
This was a highly secure lab, and no one could enter unless authorized. How did this person get in?
He was like a ghost.
At that moment, alarms blared, sending a chill down the spines of the guards outside.
"I am not important," Lu Jie said nonchalantly. "What matters is I have a small request to ask of you."
He raised his hand, and blue lightning crackled to life.
The supernatural display left the biologists in shock, fear, and awe. Their gazes turned to Lu Jie, filled with a mix of terror and excitement—some even looked like they wanted to dissect him.
This was the kind of thing they only saw in sci-fi movies, and to them, it represented both mystery and opportunity. They wanted to study it.
"Don't look at me like that. You might get killed, like this." Lu Jie raised an eyebrow and calmly pointed at a middle-aged scientist.
In an instant, a bolt of lightning exploded, piercing his heart. The man's body was fried, and blood gushed from his chest as he collapsed, dead.
The bloody scene shocked everyone. They turned pale, their faces drained of color, and they stared at Lu Jie in terror.
"Listen carefully, and you'll live," Lu Jie said with a grin.
In the eyes of the Star Nation scientists, that smile was more terrifying than that of a devil.
Just then, the door was violently kicked open. Dozens of soldiers from the Star Nation stormed in, pointing their guns at Lu Jie.
"Don't move!" they shouted.
Lu Jie glanced at them dismissively, and with a thought, lightning erupted once more, instantly turning the soldiers into charred corpses.
Lu Jie felt little emotion in killing. After all, he had witnessed the extinction of Blue Star multiple times.
"Ugh," the scientists gulped, sweat pouring down their faces as they watched the carnage unfold.
"What do you want us to do?" an elderly scientist asked with a trembling voice.
"Stop the experiments, destroy all the viruses, serums, and data, and seal off the entire laboratory," Lu Jie said slowly.
"——!" The words left the biologists in shock.
This lab was the result of decades of their work. How could they just destroy it all?
"If you don't comply, you'll all die. I can do it." Lu Jie's voice was cold.
The biologists' faces turned ashen. They could only nod, then scrambled to carry out his orders.
Meanwhile, Lu Jie ignored them, lost in thought.
If he destroyed the virus's source, what would happen to this simulation world?
This question intrigued him.
Half an hour later, everything was destroyed. The viruses, serums, and data were all gone, and the lab was completely sealed with no access permitted.
With the task complete, Lu Jie vanished back into his ghost-like, unseeable state.
It wasn't until after Lu Jie left that the biologists collapsed on the floor, weak with fear, their hearts still racing. They smiled bitterly, relieved to have survived.
["After the Host destroyed the Star Nation's top biological lab, ten minutes passed. A seismic event occurred."]
The system's voice rang out.
Lu Jie's eyes narrowed as he focused on the tremor below.
The earthquake... was it coming after all?
Meanwhile, the biologists in the Star Nation lab were filled with fear as the tremors shook the facility.
They also had mixed feelings. They realized that perhaps Lu Jie had saved their lives.
If they had continued their experiments during this earthquake, it could have been disastrous.
Lu Jie stayed for another half hour, and when no biological crisis erupted, he let out a relieved sigh.
It seemed that by erasing the source, the world would be able to develop normally.
Lu Jie pondered.
["While the Host was reflecting, a top biological lab in the Bear Nation accidentally created and leaked the MR virus, which quickly spread, turning a large portion of the Bear Nation's population into zombies."]
The system's voice suddenly interrupted, causing Lu Jie's pupils to constrict.
