"Exploded from pressure???"
Jiang Tian looked at the result, dumbfounded.
He originally wanted to learn more about the Ancient Tomb layout from this simulation, but unexpectedly died suddenly!
"Did I eat a grenade fragment? How could I explode like that?"
"Could that metal have been poisoned? Who is so vicious as to want to poison me?"
"So tragic, I never expected to die from being crushed inside."
Jiang Tian thought.
"System, exchange information on the fragment."
Jiang Tian spent 10 Points to obtain the last seen and felt information from the simulation.
The memory entered his mind, and Jiang Tian began to analyze carefully.
After swallowing the metal fragment, Jiang Tian used his two talents to simulate and analyze the metal inside his body.
But while simulating, the metal fragment seemed to resonate with Jiang Tian, releasing enormous energy.
The energy tore apart Jiang Tian's body structure, causing him to explode and die.
"What exactly is this metal fragment? Why does it contain such huge energy?"
Jiang Tian's eyes showed no fear, only excitement.
His body exploding meant he had not yet fully absorbed the metal fragment's power.
As long as he kept strengthening his body, Jiang Tian believed one day he could fully absorb it.
"Tremendous energy contained—this is a good thing!"
"And since I swallowed the metal fragment, it counts as mine."
Jiang Tian thought, then asked the system.
"System, how many points to exchange that metal fragment?"
[Ding! Exchanging the metal fragment costs 100 Points. Proceed? Yes/No]
[No]
Jiang Tian chose No immediately.
Putting aside that he could not devour the metal fragment once exchanged, his current Points were insufficient anyway.
"This metal fragment costs the same as the mysterious flower, but why does it contain such different energy? Is it because I didn't eat a whole flower at once? Or are they just equally rare?"
Jiang Tian wondered but didn't understand.
...
He replaced Hunter's Instinct with Gold-Eating Constitution, exchanged two more drops of purple liquid.
Placed the liquid on a leaf and waited for the Ant Tribe to absorb it.
After regaining some spirit and stamina, Jiang Tian sent the ants to collect metal fragments again.
"System, start the next simulation."
Jiang Tian clicked the panel to simulate.
[Please choose your talents: ...]
This time the talents were again all white and had repeats. Jiang Tian picked two useful ones and started.
[Talent selection complete, difficulty set to Normal.]
[Simulation begins...]
[Day 1...]
...
[Day 34, gambling fate, you swallow the metal fragment again and end up exploding from pressure.
You die.]
[This simulation lasted 34 days and earned 68 Points.]
[You can permanently keep one talent and solidify it into the real world.]
"...Still stubborn!"
Jiang Tian sighed and closed the panel.
From then on, after each simulation, Jiang Tian exchanged purple liquid to feed the Ant Tribe, restored spirit and stamina, and simulated again.
He repeated this until the mysterious flowers ran out and he lacked enough points to exchange both items, then gave up.
In subsequent Normal simulations, Jiang Tian never survived past thirty-eight days.
Whenever he entered the dungeon, he was either killed by Adventurer squads, beaten by Corpse Beetles, or exploded from metal fragments.
The results always jumped between these three options without exception.
By now, Jiang Tian knew that without very explosive talent or some other opportunity, he could not break through.
After spending his last simulation chance, Jiang Tian, weary, looked toward the entrance of the Queen Ant's nest.
At the entrance, ants gathered the "metal" they had collected, piled into a small heap.
Jiang Tian looked closely and found most of the "metal" were just stones; the rest included glass, wood chips, some fossils, but no actual metal.
"Lack of intelligence is really frustrating!"
Jiang Tian shook his head and sighed, then lay down to sleep.
...
The next morning, Jiang Tian awoke from sleep.
Groggy, he felt some weight on him. Opening his eyes, He found the stone pile had toppled.
Stones rolled over him, around his feet, everywhere.
"They collected so many stones overnight?"
"But I wanted metal!"
"What use is all this stone?"
Jiang Tian stood up, and the stones around his feet rolled inward.
Among the stones, Jiang Tian saw a flash of green between the cracks.
"Huh?!"
"What's that?!"
Jiang Tian's expression changed as he hurriedly dug through the stone pile and pulled out a stone resembling agate or jade.
