[Saving successful. Naming complete.]
After the system's announcement, Jason felt the shift in his surroundings and found himself back in his old rental room.
"It feels like I was dreaming," Jason muttered as he surveyed his room. He was stunned when he checked the time. Only about a minute had passed in the real world, even though nearly sixteen years had passed in the simulated world. The time dilation was remarkable.
"Time isn't synchronized, huh? Well, that makes sense." He mumbled, trying to wrap his head around it. If entire decades passed during simulations, that would have been terrifying.
[While the host is surprised by the time discrepancy, the system grants a reward. Congratulations on receiving Gene Serum XW, MR Virus Serum, and MR Virus. Simply click to collect them.]
At the system's prompt, three virtual items appeared before Jason. He blinked in surprise, looking over them.
"Gene Serum XW, MR Virus Serum, MR Virus…" Jason felt both excited and cautious.
Gene Serum XW was an incredible item. It would enhance human genes without side effects, increasing one's physical abilities twentyfold. That was extraordinary! But the MR Virus… that made him nervous. If he wasn't careful and somehow leaked it, the real world could end up just like the zombie apocalypse scenario he had witnessed.
In the early outbreak, Star Nation had been wiped out in just one week. The virus was terrifyingly potent. Even though there was an MR Virus Serum, it was incomplete and had a high failure rate.
"System, do you have any sort of storage space?" Jason asked in his mind.
[No storage space available, but the host can choose to not collect the items for now.]
Jason sighed in relief. While lacking storage space was a bit inconvenient, the option not to collect was an alternative. Though it was risky, it was also safer for the moment.
He decided to inject the Gene Serum XW into his body. The intense pain of his body heating up made him grimace, but the enhancement was complete. His physical strength surged twentyfold.
Testing his newfound strength, Jason squeezed his dumbbell so hard that it bent, his power astonishing.
"This feels amazing!" He grinned, thrilled with his enhanced body. However, the newfound strength was a bit overwhelming. The apartment was in disarray, as he accidentally crushed his water cup when trying to drink.
It took him half a day to adjust to his new strength, enough to control it with some degree of finesse. However, Jason suspected that if he got into a fight, he could easily end up injuring someone without meaning to.
"System, when can I proceed with the next simulation?" He couldn't wait to continue the next round of simulations. Even though he had become a superhuman, he couldn't do much with his enhanced body in the real world. It seemed more fun to dive into the simulations for greater rewards.
[After each simulation, there is a 24-hour cooldown period before the next one can begin.]
"Ah, I see," Jason said with some regret, but there was nothing to be done.
He then reflected on the origins of the bio-apocalypse in the simulation. It had been caused by a massive earthquake that triggered a release of viruses and chemicals from Star Nation's top-secret bio-research facility, mixing to create a new virus.
"If something like that happens in the real world…" Jason trailed off, considering the consequences. He couldn't help but wonder if the same experiments were happening in the real world. If they were, the apocalyptic scenario might one day come to pass.
"Whatever, I'll stop worrying for now. I'll deal with it when I have the power to intervene." He sighed.
Despite his worry, he couldn't help but feel that the massive earthquake in the simulation was a bit too convenient. Top-level bio-research facilities were carefully placed in optimal locations to avoid such disasters, and even if an earthquake did occur, there would be plenty of warning. The sudden quake that disrupted everything seemed a bit too contrived.
Jason couldn't shake the feeling that the system might have had a hand in manipulating things.
[Every moment, every second in the world has countless possibilities. This system only simulates one insignificant possibility.]
The system's voice offered an explanation.
"Ah, I see." Jason shrugged and didn't pay much attention to the system's answer.
For the rest of the day, Jason kept a close eye on Star Nation's activities. By the next day, no news of a major earthquake breaking out in the real world had surfaced, which put him somewhat at ease. Maybe he had just been overthinking it.
Regardless of whether Star Nation's experiments succeeded or not, Jason didn't care much. After all, he had already injected the Gene Serum XW and became a superhuman. He had MR Virus and the antidote as well, he was far ahead of their research.
[Host, the cooldown has completed. Would you like to proceed with a new simulation?]
"Oh, it's time for the next round! Finally!" Jason's face lit up with excitement.
He quickly opened the system file, selected the "Bio-apocalypse: New Era" chapter, and clicked to continue the simulation.
The next moment, Jason's consciousness shifted, and he found himself floating in mid-air, gazing down at the scene below. It was the moment when the superhumans from Mystery Nation's Peace Base emerged from their underground base to face the hordes of zombies.
The real excitement was about to begin! Jason was thrilled, though he lamented the lack of popcorn and soda. It would have been perfect.
