 Direct manipulation seems to be impossible.

 

Chen An stared at the light screen in front of him for a while, a thought flashing through his mind.

 

The pain in his mind still lingered, making him uncomfortable at the moment, and it took him a while to recover.

 

This also made him focus his gaze on another option.

 

Since direct manipulation doesn't work, let's simulate it.

 

After a moment of contemplation, he pressed his hand forward and finally clicked on that column.

 

In an instant, this place became brilliant, enveloping Chen An's entire consciousness.

 

In that moment, Chen An felt a bit blurred, as if he saw many things.

 

He seemed to feel that a part of his consciousness was separated and drifted to a distant place.

 

"Your consciousness has been born. In a cold winter, you were born in a peasant family and became the only son of this family."

 

"In your childhood, you grew up carefree and learned to read with a private tutor."

 

"You inherited the family property, married and had children, and eventually died at the age of forty due to illness."

 

"You have three children and have reproduced a large number of descendants after a hundred years."

 

"Simulation is over."

 

"Evaluation: Your life is ordinary, with almost no impact except for a few children."

 

"You have obtained five points of source energy."

 

Rows of information appeared in front of Chen An, displayed in front of him.

 

The speed was quite fast, almost ending before half an hour had passed.

 

Chen An looked at the information floating in front of him, lost in thought.

 

Because as the simulation ended, a lot of information reappeared in his mind.

 

Information emerged one after another, appearing in his mind.

 

It was about the simulated experiences, from birth to growth, to the memories of the final death.

 

Of course, this part of the memory was not complete, with a large part missing.

 

But even so, this part of the memory still calmed Chen An for a long time, and he finally came to his senses, breaking free from that immersive memory.

 

Then he lowered his head, indeed seeing the change in the source energy column before him.

 

The original zero points had become five points.

 

"Five points of source energy."

 

Chen An pondered.

 

Honestly, he didn't know if five points of source energy were a lot or a little, and he couldn't make choices from beginning to end.

 

If it was direct manipulation, maybe it could still give him some operating space, but simulation was impossible.

 

It was as if it had nothing to do with him from start to finish, and it ended abruptly.

 

But thinking about it, the death at the age of forty due to illness was really a bit.

Chen An shook his head and began to seriously consider the uses of these source energies before him.

 

Name: Chen An

 

Attributes: Strength (1.4), Physique (1.5), Spirit (2.4)

 

Source Energy: 5

Projection: Charging

 

A familiar character template appeared in front of Chen An, displayed in front of him again.

 

Aside from the change in the number of source energy in the column, the column for the projection had changed from available to currently charging.

 

Apart from this, however?

Chen An carefully observed and finally found the change.

 

An addition sign appeared on several attributes in the attribute column.

 

"Could it be."

 

A thought flashed through Chen An's mind, and he immediately began to experiment.

 

He first clicked on the strength column.

 

The source energy immediately decreased by one point.

 

Then, the attribute column immediately changed.

 

Name: Chen An

 

Attributes: Strength (1.5), Physique (1.5), Spirit (2.4)

 

Source Energy: 4

Projection: Charging

 

A new change occurred.

 

"So that's how it works."

 

Chen An looked at the template that reappeared in front of him, a thoughtful look on his face. "It seems to resemble game characters, and I can even level up."

 

"I just wonder what the specific effects are."

 

As he spoke, Chen An continued to try in the strength column, adding two more points of source energy.

 

A warm stream flowed into his body.

 

Almost in an instant, Chen An felt a change.

 

His body was not particularly strong, but not weak either, being average among the gang members of the Three Rivers. However, now, with the increase in attributes, Chen An felt a surge of powerful strength emanating from within.

 

The feeling was intense, as if he had suddenly gained double the strength, extremely refreshing, giving him an addictive feeling.

 

The change was quite significant.

 

A happy expression appeared on Chen An's face.

 

At this moment, he clearly felt the change in his body.

 

This was real.

 

From half a month ago until now, since he arrived in this world, Chen An had always had an inexplicable fear.

 

Compared to his previous world, everything in this world was just too dangerous.

 

Whether it was the dangerous gang members or the various mysterious phenomena, they were unimaginable to someone who used to live in a peaceful world.

 

It wasn't until this moment, looking at the panel in front of him, that Chen An finally gained a sense of security.

 

"Continue the simulation. As long as I acquire enough source energy, perhaps I can also become strong enough, and then."

 

Standing in place, Chen An muttered to himself, recalling everything he had seen in this period of time, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

 

Compared to before, at this moment he felt like he had grasped a key that could change his destiny.

 

Walking down this path, he believed that one day, he could become strong enough.

 

However, he still had a question to figure out in front of him.

 

"What is this thing charged with?"

 

Looking at the projection still in the charging process in front of him, Chen An couldn't help but have this thought.

 

He remembered the corpse that had mutated earlier and the hints given by the attribute panel.

 

"World Energy Crystal, seems to be this thing."

 

Chen An recalled the scene before, and this thought flashed through his mind.

 

His attribute panel was only opened by touching that mutated corpse earlier.

 

That mutated corpse contained what he needed, the so-called World Energy Crystal.

 

This should be the energy needed for the projection to charge.

 

Now the question was, where else could this energy be found?

 

"Is it only present on mutated corpses, or are these peculiar phenomena also included?"

 

Chen An pondered this question.

 

He recalled the peculiar phenomenon he had encountered before.

 

It was a person who had also turned peculiar, half of his body rotten, but he could still move like a normal person.

 

But on that person, Chen An seemed not to have felt the same abnormal sensation as before.

 

Wait.

 

It doesn't seem entirely true.

 

Recalling the scene before, because he had noticed something wrong in advance, during that incident, Chen An had hidden behind everyone early on and had run away when the monster made its move, never having a close encounter.

 

So naturally, there would be no feelings produced.

 

Thinking about this, Chen An was also uncertain and could only try more later.

 

With this thought in mind, he took a step forward, walking out of the room.

 

As he walked out, a familiar figure approached.

 

It was Liu Sheng.

 

"Did boss Mei ask for me?"

 

Listening to Liu Sheng's words, Chen An was somewhat surprised. "I understand."

 

"I'll go over right away."

 

He said this and then went back to change into a new outfit before leaving the room and heading towards Mei An's location.

 

On the way, Chen An still had some doubts.

 

From the situation just now, Mei An was still injured and should still be recovering. Why did he suddenly call him over?

 

However, despite his doubts, Chen An certainly did not dare to say anything.

 

After all, this was his immediate superior, the kind who could take your life at any moment.

 

In Chen An's current situation, it was best to remain honest and obedient.

 

Soon, he arrived at a courtyard.

 

It was dusk at the moment, the sun had already set everywhere, appearing dim, but shining on a figure standing in front, casting a long shadow on him.

 

Mei An stood there, now wearing a new outfit compared to before, and the prominent wound on his body had also been bandaged, looking quite spirited.

 

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around, his gaze locking onto Chen An, still looking quite stern.

 

"Master."

 

Chen An bowed respectfully. "You asked for me?"

 

"Yes."

 

Mei An nodded, his gaze fixed on Chen An.

 

In his observant gaze, Chen An stood tall and handsome, with a fair appearance, a rare talent among the strong men in the Three Rivers gang, earning a nod of approval from Mei An.

 

"I heard that you asked for sick leave a moment ago. Is your body alright?"

 

After scrutinizing Chen An for a moment, he finally spoke.

 

"It's just a slight cold, actually nothing serious, not worth mentioning."

 

Chen An respectfully replied, then continued, "If you have any instructions, I'll do it immediately."

 

No matter what the boss's intentions were, the attitude must always be made clear early on, this was the self-awareness of a lackey.

 

"You have always been diligent in your work, and I have seen it."

 

Looking at Chen An, Mei An nodded, then smiled and said, "Your father used to work for me and did many things for me."

 

"After he died, I saw you alone, so I brought you into the gang, and it has been so many years now."

 

He lamented as he spoke, recounting various stories.

 

Chen An also listened with tact, playing his role obediently, until the other finished speaking and then his eyes turned red, somewhat emotional as he said, "Boss, to me, you are like a reborn parent. Even if Chen An is crushed to pieces, I can't repay you."

 

After speaking, he continued in one breath, bowing deeply, already appearing quite excited.

 

After this set of performances, Mei An also appeared quite satisfied.

 

He looked at Chen An, and finally got to the main topic of this meeting.

 

"I am willing to let you enter the hall to practice martial arts, are you willing?"

 

"I am willing, Boss."

 

Chen An's face immediately showed joy, directly replying.

 

This time, his joy was not pretended but genuine.

 

Entering the hall was the goal of many members within the Three Rivers gang.

 

As long as one could enter the hall, there would be a chance to learn martial arts and inherit the martial arts legacy of the Three Rivers gang.

 

Practicing martial arts.

 

This was the best way for people in this world to stand out, even the most superficial martial arts were no exception.

 

Until the awakening of the panel, Chen An's goal was to enter the hall to practice martial arts.

 

Although he had awakened the panel now, the opportunity to practice martial arts naturally seemed better.
