Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

[Simulation begins!]

[Drawing a green talent costs 1,000 energy points, a blue talent costs 10,000 energy points, and drawing a purple talent costs 100,000 energy points. Would you like to draw?]

“Draw the purple talent!”

Su Xing muttered to himself.

[Congratulations, you have acquired the Purple Talent: I Am Passerby A!]

Su Xing was momentarily stunned by the name of this talent.

“I Am Passerby A? What kind of talent is this, why is the name so strange?”

He looked toward the simulation panel.

[I Am Passerby A]: Your presence is extremely low, like a passerby A in the corner of a comic strip, even your closest acquaintances or enemies tend to overlook your existence. Note: After acquiring this talent, please do not jaywalk carelessly, as the drivers may very likely not notice you.]

Su Xing instantly understood after seeing the description of the talent.

This is another conceptual talent!

If being the brightest kid in the crowd is a talent that can grab anyone’s attention,

then this Passerby A Talent, on the contrary, reduces one’s presence to an extreme low.

“This seems to be a pretty good infiltration talent!”

Su Xing stroked his chin, thoughtfully.

“However, the specific effects still need to be simulated.”

He looked toward the simulation panel.

[In the Spirit Field Blessed Land, you realize that you are in a simulation.]

[Your Spirit Chickens are so hungry they continually cluck, and you helplessly took a handful of Spirit Rice to feed them, but the chickens acted as if they couldn’t see you at all and kept clucking.]

[In frustration, you stewed two big pots of chicken soup.]

[After eating and drinking to your fill, you began your routine of crafting elixirs.]

[A week later, you took the elixirs to Jin Congxue.]

[However, Jin Congxue wasn’t at the villa. You called to ask if something had happened, to which Jin Congxue said she’d forgotten about meeting this week and hurried over.]

[In the following period, you were absorbed in alchemy every day and seldom went out.]

[Because going out made no difference to you—it felt the same as not going out.]

[When you went to the noodle house, the proprietress would always forget to serve you a bowl; when you went shopping at the supermarket, you would always be cut in line at checkout since the person simply didn’t notice you.]

[You even brazenly took a drink from a convenience store, and not even the cashier noticed you while leaving.]

Su Xing’s eyes brightened at this.

“It seems this Passerby A Talent is quite strong! Though the side effects are obvious… at certain times, it may have unexpected effects!”

Su Xing continued the simulation.

[As months passed, you prepared to wait for Wang Qingxuan to invite you into the Descending Sect.]

[But after waiting a long time, Wang Qingxuan never contacted you. So you inquired about her only to discover that she had dropped out of school.]

[You knew that Wang Qingxuan must have joined the Descending Sect and forgotten to tell you because you possess the Passerby A Talent.]

[Out of necessity, you had to secretly find out the whereabouts of the Descending Sect on your own.]

[With memory clues and inquiries here and there, you vaguely ascertained the approximate location of the Descending Sect.]

[You decided to venture alone, offering yourself to join the Descending Sect.]

[In the next year, it took you nearly half a year to finally pinpoint the position of the Descending Sect’s lair and enter it.]

[When you entered, the Descending Sect’s Elders and protectors were in a meeting, but like a ghost, you swaggered into the conference room completely unnoticed by any guards.]

[You coughed loudly several times while watching the Elders and protectors, until three faction leaders finally took notice of you.]

[Immediately they were shocked and questioned when you had infiltrated the conference room. The Elders and protectors surrounded you.]

[You quickly explained your desire to join the Descending Sect, showing a glimpse of your abilities.]

[Unexpectedly, the higher-ups became even more cautious, suspecting you had nefarious intentions.]

[After much negotiation and tremendous effort, you managed to gain their shaky trust and join the Descending Sect.]

[But because of your unclear background, the high ranks of the Descending Sect still didn’t trust you.]

Su Xing was suddenly at a loss for words.

“Goodness, this is Passerby A, not invisibility!”

“Is the presence of Passerby A really this low? That’s simply too outrageous…”

“Sigh, the talent is strong, for sure, but the side effects are too pronounced. Even when not needed, I’d still be in Passerby A mode… it could ruin big opportunities!”

“However, I could retain it in the talent pool until a critical moment, when it might come in handy!”

Su Xing thought reflectively.

[After entering the Descending Sect, with no one’s trust gained, you decide to stabilize the situation for a while.]

[In the subsequent months, you conscientiously completed tasks and behaved well, gradually earning the Descending Sect’s trust.]

[Once settled, you then found an opportunity to connect with Luo Shuying, and successfully gained her trust, accessing a large quantity of herbs.]

[You began crafting elixirs on a daily basis, and in just two years, you amassed a large stockpile of elixirs.]

[In the third year, before leaving, you and Luo Shuying sneaked into the Descending Sect’s treasury once.]

[Thanks to the “I Am Passerby A” Talent, the Dragon Protector guarding the treasury didn’t even notice you, allowing you to effortlessly clear out half of the Descending Sect’s treasury, obtaining a plethora of Spiritual Medicine and many special items.]
