Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation! - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Chapter 136: Talent, Am I Passerby A? (5000-word large chapter)
 

[Ding! This simulation consumed 3800 points of energy. Remaining energy: 55,758,000 points. Remaining simulation attempts: unlimited.]

[Simulation begins!]

[Drawing a green talent costs 1000 points of energy, a blue talent costs 10,000 points of energy, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 points of energy. Draw?]

“Draw the purple talent!”

Su Xing muttered.

[Congratulations! You obtained the purple talent: I am Passerby A!]

Su Xing was stunned after seeing the name of this talent.

“I am Passerby A? What kind of talent is this? Why does the name sound so weird?”

His gaze shifted to the simulation panel.

[I am Passerby A]: Your presence is extremely low, like a background character in a comic. Even those closest to you, or your enemies, often overlook your existence. Note: After acquiring this talent, avoid running red lights as drivers might not notice you.

Su Xing immediately understood after reading the talent description.

This was another conceptual talent!

If Most Standout Guy in the Crowd was a talent that drew everyone’s attention,

then Passerby A Talent was the opposite, making one’s presence extremely low.

“This seems like a decent infiltration talent!”

Su Xing stroked his chin thoughtfully.

“But to know how effective it is, some simulation is needed.”

His gaze shifted to the simulation panel.

[In Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realized you were simulating.]

[The spirit chickens you raised clucked hungrily. Disgruntled, you grabbed some Spirit Rice to feed them, but they seemed unable to see you and continued clucking.]

[In a fit of anger, you made two large pots of chicken soup.]

[After eating and drinking your fill, you started your routine of elixir-making.]

[A week later, you prepared to deliver elixirs to Jin Congxue.]

[However, Jin Congxue was nowhere to be found in the villa. When you called to ask if something happened, Jin Congxue said she had forgotten about this week’s meeting and rushed over.]

[For the next period, you were engrossed in alchemy every day and rarely went out.]

[Because for you, going out was no different from staying in.]

[When you went to eat noodles at a restaurant, the owner always forgot to serve your noodles; when you shopped at the supermarket, others would cut in line as they didn’t notice you.]

[Even when you blatantly took a bottle of drink from a convenience store, the cashier didn’t notice you when you left.]

Su Xing’s eyes brightened at this.

“It seems this Passerby A talent is quite powerful! Although its side effects are noticeable… in certain situations, it could yield unexpected results!”

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[Soon, a few months passed, and you prepared to wait for Wang Qingxuan to recruit you into the Descending Sect.]

[But after waiting for a long time, Wang Qingxuan never sought you out. You inquired about her only to find out she had already dropped out.]

[You realized Wang Qingxuan probably joined the Descending Sect and, because of your Passerby A talent, forgot to inform you.]

[Helpless, you decided to investigate the whereabouts of the Descending Sect on your own.]

[Relying on scraps of memory and extensive inquiries, you finally pinpointed the general location of the Descending Sect.]

[You decided to go there alone and recommend yourself to the sect.]

[In your second year, after nearly half a year of searching, you finally located the Descending Sect’s base and snuck inside.]

[When you entered, the sect’s elders and protectors were in a meeting, but you walked into the conference room as if nobody was there, and no guards noticed you.]

[After deliberately coughing a few times, three faction leaders finally noticed your presence.]

[They were shocked and questioned when you had infiltrated the conference room. The elders and protectors surrounded you.]

[You quickly expressed your desire to join the Descending Sect and demonstrated your strength.]

[Unexpectedly, the higher-ups became more cautious, suspecting you had ulterior motives.]

[After much persuasion and effort, you barely managed to gain their trust and joined the Descending Sect.]

[However, due to your unclear background, the higher-ups of the Descending Sect still didn’t trust you.]

Su Xing was left speechless at this.

“Good grief, this is Passerby A, not invisibility!”

“Does Passerby A really have such low presence? This is absurd…”

“Sigh, the talent’s effects are strong, but the side effects are too apparent, always being in Passerby A mode could mess things up!”

“But I can keep it in the talent pool, perhaps it will be useful at a critical moment.”

Su Xing mused thoughtfully.

[After joining the Descending Sect, you decided to lay low because you hadn’t gained their trust yet.]

[For the next few months, you diligently completed tasks and performed well, gradually earning the Descending Sect’s trust.]

[After earning their trust, you seized the opportunity to contact Luo Shuying and successfully gained her trust, subsequently obtaining a large amount of medicinal herbs.]

[You began your daily routine of making elixirs, and within two years, you had amassed a large stockpile of elixirs.]

[In your third year, before leaving, you and Luo Shuying infiltrated the Descending Sect’s Treasure Vault.]

[Thanks to the Passerby A talent, the Dragon Protector guarding the vault didn’t notice you, and you managed to empty half of the treasure. Besides spiritual medicine, you also acquired many special items.]
