Without you noticing, the Tianyuan Realm trembled.
(What?)
Unaware of anything unusual, you continue reading the classics—after all, if nothing supernatural is happening, at least it will help steady your state of mind.
(Hey, hey, system! Wait a second—we’re not going to skip over what you just said. What do you mean?!)
As you read, golden words flow from your mouth; 99% of their essence ascends to the heavens and permeates the earth, while only 1% is retained in your spiritual sea.
(System: Could I please get an explanation of what is happening?)
(After waiting a few seconds, Bao Chen hears no response from the system. "Damn it, it looks like in the simulation the system cannot talk to me," he mutters.)
After a while, as you continue reciting the classics, your golden words gradually turn into silver—and eventually, no words come out of your mouth at all.
Exhausted, you collapse and pass out on your bed.
Day 2:
After waking up, you feel energized as daylight fills the room. You try reading the classics again, hoping that perhaps they will work in the daytime rather than at night. Yet, nothing special happens to you or your surroundings. Although you feel a bit down, it doesn't trouble you; you remain calm.
You continue with your daily routine—working, eating, and taking care of basic needs—with nothing particularly unusual occurring. The only oddity is that there are fewer people than there were on the first day you joined.
At night, you resume reading the classics, and your mental state improves slightly.

Day 3:
In the morning, you read the classics before heading off to work. Later, at night, you study them again, and your mental state improves slightly.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Day 4:
After reading the classics, and lacking any teachers or guidance, you experience a mental deviation.
(Seeing this, Bao Chen’s expression becomes worried. "Damn it, what is going to happen now?" he wonders.)
You go to work, and later, you continue reading the classics. Although your mental state improves slightly, you still sense that something is amiss— you experience a mental deviation.

Day 5:
In the morning, you read the classics and then head off to work. While working, you hear some commotion outside. When you investigate, you see an army surrounding your village and the neighboring villages—but you don't know that.
As you gaze upon the approaching army, the golden words in your spiritual sea begin to brighten, and you sense mortal danger. You try to escape, but the village is completely surrounded. You attempt to hide, but the army is searching everywhere. With nowhere to hide and no clear path to run, you decide to join the villagers in heading toward the designated safe area—armed with a knife for self-defense, or perhaps for something worse.
(What the hell happened? This never occurred in the previous simulation, Bao Chen thought.)
You head to an open area and see familiar faces. You ask, "what happened," but they don't know either. Then, you see Dr. Lee chained up. You scan the surroundings for information and notice army members wielding a strange jade slip that stretched there hands and touching everyone. Confused, you sense an imminent danger emanating from it.
Before you can react further, one army member approaches without your noticing. He carries one of these peculiar jade slip, and when it touches you, it turns golden like the light for the evening sun.
Suddenly, everyone turns to look at you. Realizing that the danger threatens both your body and your soul, you have no choice but to kill yourself.
[You have died.]
Bao Chen looks down in disappointment and says, "I failed. Well, I will never read the damn classics."
Yet your soul does not vanish. One of the army members pulls out a glass bottle and seals your soul inside it. Unbeknownst to them, a dog sneaks up on the soldier; then the dog explodes into black smoke, killing the army members and devouring your soul.
[The host soul is dead. The simulation ends.]
Bao Chen lies on his bed, exhausted. He thinks to himself, "Damn it, what is the difference from this then a death sentence? There was no way for me to escape or do anything."
[Ding detects that the host has achieved a legendary achievement]
[unlocking the achievement system]
[Legendary Achievement: Robbed by Heaven and Earth]

[to unlock this achievement, you need to be Robbed by heaven and earth.]

Bao Chen, gazing at the legendary achievement in the system, he has 7 points of anger, 3 points of sadness, bao chen calms down and said "this will be useful" and also keeping in his heart what Tianyuan Realm did.
