I Have A Demon God Simulator

Chapter 38: The Fourth Life, A Dream Of Eighteen Years

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Mu sat cross-legged in the white space, his eyes still raging from the fight from moments ago.

After transforming into a black zombie, he killed the remaining forty Black Armored Cavalrymen!

Unfortunately, after killing these enemies, the corpse Qi in Su Mu’s body was completely exhausted.

Coupled with the fact that he had been caught off-guard, he could only welcome the end.

After returning to the white space, Su Mu began to sort out the information he had obtained in his previous life.

The most important development was that the Beiling Prince was raising zombies!

It was very likely that they were being raised on a large scale and in an orderly manner.

They had even specially selected elites from the army to feed the zombies with the blood of soldiers.

This was insanity!

If ever exposed, there would definitely be a large-scale mutiny, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

However, this situation should not have happened.

In the real world, Su Mu specially investigated the Great Famine in Jizhou.

The Great Famine lasted for three years, with countless deaths and injuries.

The entire Jizhou was as barren wasteland, and it only gradually recovered after more than ten years.

But no mutiny ever occurred.

As for the Beiling Prince, he had mysteriously disappeared during the famine. No one knew where he went.

There must be a shocking secret behind this big unsolved case!

However, with Su Mu’s status, he had no way of knowing the truth behind this secret.

If he wanted to know the truth, he could only continue to explore it further in the simulated world.

…

After sorting out the information he had obtained in his previous life, Su Mu began to think about his approach in the next attempt.

He had to take a far more unconventional appraoch.

As long as Su Mu practiced martial arts and joined the army, he would be targeted.

It was useless, even if he kept a low profile.

Who knew how many people were needed to feed the zombies?

They were the first batch. Could there not be a second or third batch?

It seemed that he had to change his way of thinking.

Su Mu opened the talent interface to check.

He needed to change his talents.

The first one he had to change into was [Big dreamer], one of the only two green talents out of the ten.

Capturing people from the army to feed the zombies required elites and martial artists.

If they were just ordinary people, would they even be worthy of zombie food?

Since that was the case, Su Mu would play the fool for eighteen years. No one would be able to pin the blame on him!

This disaster could be avoided.

…

After the first talent was confirmed, Su Mu began to choose the second one.

The three talents he had brought with him before were [Spiritual sense],[Mad demon], and [Friendly], which all looked very good on paper.

But this time, Su Mu decided to remove [Spirit sense] and [Mad demon].

[Spirit sense] seemed to be able to predict danger in advance and was very useful.

However, Su Mu had honed his instincts after living several lifetimes of hell, which made the talent just a little redundant.

As for [Mad devil], it was very useful, but it was practically a death sentence.

For ordinary people, death was the end. Who would care about what happened before death?

But to Su Mu, death was only the beginning.

He guessed that the demons in this simulated world were most likely related to zombies.

The talent [Mad demon], it would exhaust his vitality before death, which would make Su Mu much weaker after his reanimation.

If he had not activated [Mad demon] before he died in his previous life, he would have had more corpse Qi after death.

He could still have jumped around for a little longer.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Su Mu removed [Spirit sense] and [Mad demon], and only kept [Friendly].

The soldiers in Liu Gaotian’s camp were all good people.

Even so, Su Mu was uncertain about how a “fool” would be treated for 18 years.

If he died within 18 years as a fool, wouldn’t he have worked for nothing?

Therefore, for his second talent, Su Mu chose [Friendly].

…

As for the last talent, Su Mu chose [Tiangang] after some consideration.

Military camp, fool.

These two things had nothing to do with a wife.

Therefore, Su Mu should be free of distractions.

With the experience of the first simulated world, Su Mu knew that there were too many variables for any talent to be foolproof.

Some seemingly inexplicable talents actually had hidden effects.

For example, Su Mu’s [Resentment].

Although it would cause extreme pain in death, it could gather the evil Qi and help him transform into a demon.

This seemingly useless [Big dreamer] might have a hidden use.

Even if it failed to grant him any returns, it was fine.

He had been single for more than 20 years on earth, so why would he be afraid of being single in a simulated world?

After choosing his three talents, Su Mu still did not touch the 60 points he had accumulated.

The instance dungeon’s situation was still unclear, he had to patiently explore more.

Just like that, Su Mu began his fourth life in the simulated world!

[Simulation begins!]

[Host: Su Mu]

[Physique: 6]

[Intelligence: 3]

[Vitality: 4]

[Talents: Big dreamer, Friendly, Resentment, Tiangang]

[Item: None]

The interface faded away, and Su Mu was reborn again.

…

[Big dreamer] was different from what Su Mu had imagined.

Su Mu had thought that he would be muddleheaded and remain in the daze all the way until his eighteenth birthday.

On the contrary, Su Mu’s mind was very clear, and he could sense everything in the outside world.

However, his consciousness seemed to be trapped in a cage, unable to control his own body.

Before the age of 18, Su Mu acted completely on instinct.

He would eat when he was hungry and drink when he was thirsty.

He laughed when he was happy and cried when he was sad.

He was as pure as a newborn baby, and his eyes were as clear as a spring.

Fortunately, the people in the military camp treated Su Mu well. They didn’t lack food and clothing, and they didn’t beat or scold him.

It was because of the [Friendly] talent.

But more than that, it was because most of the soldiers in this military camp were pretty decent people.

This had a lot to do with Liu Gaotian.

A crooked stick had a crooked shadow.

The opposite was true.

But what Su Mu didn’t expect was that even though he had already “lost his mind,” Liu Leqing still liked to play with him.

Moreover, before the age of 18, Su Mu acted based on his instincts, and his relationship with Liu Leqing was even closer than in his previous life.

It was fine when they were young, but as they grew older, Liu Leqing’s attitude towards him became slightly different.

Su Mu couldn’t help but sigh. Could it be that just because he was handsome, he could do whatever he wanted? Is it okay, even if I’m stupid?

This damn superficial world!

Of course, Su Mu was not “stupid” in the conventional sense.

Instead, it was an extreme form of sincerity and simplicity.

It made people feel at ease.

The heart of a pure child was precious.

But Su Mu couldn’t maintain this state forever.

…

In the 19th year of the Tianqi era, that fatal military order appeared again.

Without Su Mu, another officer was in charge of this mission.

The 100 people never returned!

The higher-ups said that the bandits were ferocious, and the entire army was annihilated.

Liu Gaotian had his doubts, but he had no way of finding the truth.

In the end, they could only let it go.

Only Su Mu knew that these hundred people had already been fed to the zombies and died tragic deaths.

After a few months, the higher-ups came to ask for more people.

As a result, another hundred people disappeared mysteriously, not a single one remained!

The story was still the same as before. They encountered a strong enemy and were completely annihilated.

However, to be annihilated twice in a row, with their corpses nowhere to be found? Many people were already muttering about in their hearts.

Liu Gaotian secretly contacted the generals of the other military camps and found out that several groups of people had been taken away from them as well.

His peers had already lost more than a thousand soldiers!

How could there be such a powerful bandit force in the entire Jizhou?

Liu Gaotian’s heart was heavy, and he could vaguely sense that some kind of great terror was about to descend!

…

Just as the storm was about to arrive, Su Mu’s 18th birthday arrived.

He had been dreaming for eighteen years, and now he had woken up and his consciousness rushed to the clouds!
