For Solon, the only good news was that Lingsha was still on the Zhu Ming Xianzhou, and the "main storyline" had yet to begin—the Trailblazer had not yet boarded the Astral Express, and the grand curtain had not yet risen.
After some thought, Solon decided to simulate Lingsha's script.
Lingsha would only arrive at the Luofu after Fantina came to the Xianzhou to stir up trouble. If he couldn't even get past the early hurdles, there was no point in thinking about the future.
What he urgently needed now was to gain enough strength to protect himself before Fantina made her move on the Luofu.
The system seemed to sense his determination. As he entered the simulation, during the trait selection phase, several high-quality traits suddenly refreshed.
[Dragon's Legacy (Gold): Influenced by the blessings of the "Undying" Dragon, all the experience, knowledge, and talents you gain in each reincarnation will carry over and accumulate in the next life.] (This trait is a beginner-difficulty bonus and cannot be selected during settlement.)
Solon's eyes immediately lit up. This golden trait was absolutely a god-tier tool for grinders.
After so many simulations, he had also picked up on some patterns.
Since the golden traits in beginner difficulty were meant to lower the script's difficulty, they were inevitably tied to his simulated character and could greatly enhance them.
This golden trait was clearly designed for the Vidyadhara. His next simulated character would most likely be a Vidyadhara.
If paired with [Slow and Steady], the synergy could easily achieve a 1+1>2 effect.
If it were just about transferring experience and knowledge, the Vidyadhara's secret arts could already accomplish that—nothing groundbreaking.
But if even talent limits could stack? That would be terrifying.
Without exaggeration, if this simulation had no time limit, he could keep stacking until he surpassed an Aeon!
Never underestimate the power of a "Ten-Mile Slope Sword God."
The only downside was that this golden trait was also a bonus trait with heavy restrictions—practically branded as "Vidyadhara-exclusive."
Solon quickly calmed himself and continued reading.
[Medical Prodigy (Blue): In the halls of medicine, you shine like a brilliant star, illuminating the field with extraordinary talent and profound knowledge. Renowned as a medical prodigy, your hands seem blessed with miraculous power, capable of discerning the essence of illness and delivering precise diagnoses and treatments that grant countless patients a new lease on life.]
[Multitasker (White): You can focus on and handle multiple tasks simultaneously.]
[Reclusive Scholar (Blue): Prefers solitary research and struggles with social interactions. Intelligence increases, emotional intelligence decreases.] (Note: Pairs exceptionally well with sarcasm-related traits.)
[Sickly (Green): You are born with a frail constitution and are prone to illness. However, as the saying goes, "long illness makes the doctor." Slightly improves medical skills.]
First, [Medical Prodigy (Blue)] was likely an upgraded version of [Skilled Physician (Green)], with noticeably stronger effects.
[Multitasker] had no real downsides aside from its low rarity.
As for [Reclusive Scholar (Blue)], Solon felt an immediate sense of déjà vu when he saw it—especially with the note attached…
He guessed that a certain female genius from the Genius Society, who liked to roam around using puppets, not only had an advanced version of this trait but also definitely had a sarcasm-related trait.
Then again, aside from the refined and polite Screwllum, who seemed relatively normal, most members of the Genius Society were probably as reclusive as Herta.
As the saying went, geniuses were always lonely.
Aside from other geniuses, very few could earn their recognition and friendship.
The last trait, [Sickly], was a debuff, and Solon dismissed it at a glance.
Lingsha's beginner-difficulty script wasn't particularly hard, and he could still choose two starting traits.
The golden bonus trait was a must-pick. Once he confirmed the script's difficulty wasn't high, Solon would immediately find a way to die and restart.
Now, he was torn between choosing [Medical Prodigy] or [Reclusive Scholar].
Both traits were of the same rarity, but [Reclusive Scholar] clearly had higher potential and broader applicability.
However, its debuff was less than ideal.
His simulator already had a knack for making enemies, and lowering his emotional intelligence on top of that…
Shudder.
Solon could already picture himself inheriting the legacy of a certain ill-fated protagonist.
Unless his [Indestructible Golden Body] could evolve to withstand attacks on the level of an Aeon, he would avoid traits that provoked hostility.
There was also another reason.
Lingsha, the Vidyadhara, the Alchemy Commission, and the available traits… Solon couldn't shake the feeling that the system was subtly steering him toward medical-related traits.
Well, he'd just have to try the simulation first. At worst, he could restart.
With that in mind, Solon began the simulation.
[First Life: You are born from a Vidyadhara egg in the Scalegorge Waterscape of the Luofu.]
[After a period of basic education, you discover a remarkable talent for medicine and join the Alchemy Commission to further your studies.]
[After years of training, you become a physician of some renown.]
[You grow old and, like other Vidyadhara, choose to reincarnate.]
The first life seemed ordinary and uneventful—likely because his medical skills and strength hadn't developed enough, leaving him in obscurity.
But Solon wasn't worried. With [Dragon's Legacy] as his foundation, his power would inevitably grow.
[Second Life: You are reborn.]
[Under the protection of the "Undying" Dragon's power, you retain all the medical experience, knowledge, and talent from your past life.]
[You quickly stand out among your kin and are hailed as a medical prodigy.]
[You enter the Alchemy Commission, and your skills advance by leaps and bounds.]
[War breaks out between the Xianzhou and the Abundance's abominations. You are conscripted as a battlefield physician.]
[On the front lines, you save countless Cloud Knight soldiers.]
[The war ends, and you return home with honors, glory, and the gratitude of those you saved.]
[You grow old and reincarnate once more.]
This life could be considered virtuous and fulfilling—but in the context of a "Villain Simulator," such a life felt oddly out of place.
Had the simulator changed its nature?
Solon scratched his head in confusion.
[Third Life: You are born again.]
[This time, you display extraordinary medical talent from birth, even catching the attention of the Vidyadhara Elders.]
[At just ten years old, you join the Alchemy Commission as an apprentice physician.]
[After six centuries of dedicated study, you become a master physician.]
[Your skills save countless lives.]
[Finally, you reach the end of the Vidyadhara's natural lifespan and pass away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones.]
