Chapter 2: Chapter 2 “Quasi-Knight (Pseudo)” (Seeking Chase Reading)

Translator: 549690339

[Life Simulation has started. Due to the low version of the simulator, only text simulation is supported.]

The next moment, Milton Cheney found that the light screen in front of him had changed, with rows of black text appearing one by one on it.

[At the age of 17: You are transformed into Vernon Wesley, but you almost lost your life due to cursed magic. Therefore, you want to become stronger as soon as possible, so you set your sights on the Path of the Knight.]

[At the age of 18: You told your intention to your father, Arthur Wesley, but learned that you cannot learn breathing techniques due to your weak physical constitution. So you started to exercise your physique.]

[At the age of 20: You exercised your physique and learned horse archery.]

[At the age of 21: You exercised your physique and learned swordsmanship.]

[At the age of 25: With your physical constitution and knight techniques reaching the minimum standard for learning breathing techniques, you began to try to practice the Golden Lion Breathing Technique of the Wesley Family.]

[At the age of 28: After persistently practicing the breathing technique for two and a half years without any sign of the Life Seed awakening, you planned to consume secret medicine to forcibly activate the Life Seed.]

[At the age of 29: With everything ready, your father, Arthur Wesley, reluctantly procured the best secret medicine for you even though he didn’t want you to take the risk. Unfortunately, you failed to activate it.]

[At the age of 32: The Lord’s war broke out, you were beheaded with a single sword, and you died.]

[Simulation Ends, please choose your award!]

[Retain Realm] or [Retain Technique]

“It’s over?”

Milton Cheney was somewhat surprised, is this the end of the simulation?

Truthfully, he was very serious about the words that emerged before his eyes, almost reading them one word at a time.

“So this is the life I lived? Dead at thirty-two, beheaded by a sword?”

Seeing the black words gradually disappearing, leaving only [Retain Realm] or [Retain Technique], Milton Cheney couldn’t help but think to himself.

In a flash, Milton Cheney’s heart was instantly settled.

His future won’t be like this with the simulator, he even wants to take a shot at that mysterious Wizard Path.

“Retain Realm!”

The moment the thought arose in his heart, the next moment, a huge change occurred in Milton Cheney’s body.historical

His muscles bulged up in an instant at a speed visible to the naked eye, even his height was increased by two to three centimeters in this instant.

“Crack.”

That was the sound of wooden floor being crushed.

The sudden surge of power enabled Milton Cheney to easily crush the wooden floor.

An ugly hole appeared on the exquisite wood-patterned floor.

Milton Cheney clenched his fist, he could feel his surging strength.

He felt that he could even kill a cow with one punch now.

This wasn’t arrogance, but the illusion brought on by the sudden increase in strength in an instant.

The next moment, Milton Cheney called up his Attribute Panel, and a transparent light screen instantly appeared in front of him.

[Name: Milton Cheney]

[Spirit: 1.3]

[Physique: 2.1]

[Realm: Quasi-Knight (Pseudo)]

[Magic: None]

[Knight Skills: None]

[Simulation Count: 0]

His physique had experienced an explosive increase of 1.2. He remembered very clearly that the value of his physique column was 0.9, but now it was all the way up to 2.1.

Just one simulation had doubled his physique.

If those who have spent decades honing their bodies knew about this, they might be envious and jealous to the point of madness.

“Is this the external plugin?”

Milton Cheney mumbled to himself, greatly shocked by the genuine feeling of bodily strength.

There was nothing more real than experiencing this feeling firsthand.

Becoming a Quasi-Knight from scratch would take at least a few years for an ordinary person. Without money, you can’t become a knight.

Yet, what took countless others endless time and money to achieve, Milton Cheney accomplished in just a few seconds.

Milton had a hunch. Perhaps even those who have been training their bodies for decades, yet failed to activate the Life Seed, wouldn’t have a higher physique than his.

After all, in the simulation, although he failed to break through as a knight after taking the secret medicine, his physique improved significantly.

While he had no one to compare with, he believed that his physique stood at the top amongst numerous Quasi-Knights.

You couldn’t tell the current Milton from the ashen-faced one when he had just arrived.

His complexion was now rosy, his muscles were well-defined, his hair long and golden, and his handsome face featured sharp eyes and eyebrows.

But he couldn’t be compared to the other Quasi-Knights. He was merely an ordinary person with the physical fitness of a Quasi-Knight, as he hadn’t mastered any knight skills at all.

He didn’t know a thing about horse archery and swordsmanship, which even ordinary knight apprentices had mastered.

If the grand knights were to see him, they’d likely think that he was inherently strong, a prodigious knight-in-waiting, rather than a Quasi-Knight.

Becoming a Quasi-Knight required not only physical fitness but also incredible horse archery and swordsmanship skills, as well as the mastery of several knight techniques.

But Milton was already satisfied. After all, this was just his first simulation. With such a significant improvement, what’s there to be unhappy about?

Milton eagerly inquired in his heart about how to obtain more simulation times, but he got no reply.

In the following days, he gradually grew into the identity of Vernon Wesley.

In the meantime, he had dined with his father a few times. Although Arthur was somewhat surprised by Milton’s physical transformation, he didn’t probe into it.

In his view, Milton was just growing taller, and he couldn’t recognize the specifics of his son’s physical fitness.

It was only normal for seventeen-year-old Milton to grow taller.

This was no cultivation novel where one could know your realm with a glance.

Milton’s father, Earl Arthur, was also a knight. In his early years, he was known as the “Golden Lion Knight” among the kingdom’s nobility.

But after inheriting the title of Earl, the name “Golden Lion Knight” became much less common.

That name wasn’t as intimidating as Far East Earl, after all.

A few days later, when Milton believed the time was right, he approached his father, Earl Arthur, and shared his thoughts.

“My Lord Father, I wish to learn the Knight’s Breathing Technique and become a noble Guardian Knight,” he solemnly said in front of Arthur, his tone void of any humour – it was all seriousness and solemnity.

In the Frostwinter Kingdom, family knights were also known as Guardian Knights, passed down from generation to generation.

Almost every son of a Grand Duke, Marquis, or Earl, would prefer to become a Guardian Knight.

Because the prime candidate to inherit the lordship was chosen from the Guardian Knights of the family. Only if there was no Guardian Knight in the generation would they consider someone else.

Wesley Family, known as Golden Lion Family, also had their inherited breathing technique, which was the “Golden Lion Breathing Technique” that appeared in Milton’s simulation.

Looking into his son Vernon Wesley’s sincere eyes, a hint of satisfaction and warmth appeared in Arthur’s gaze.

He gently reached out, helped Milton up, and said, “I’m glad to hear you have this aspiration. However, the Knight’s Breathing Technique requires proficiency in physical fitness and knight techniques.

You can ask Guardsman William to teach you horse archery and swordsmanship.

Once your physical fitness and knight techniques meet the requirements, I will pass on the breathing technique to you.”

In Earl Arthur’s tone, there was a hint of gratification. It was as if he saw his younger self in Milton.

He was just as determined, just as confident.

Upon hearing Earl Arthur’s words, Milton replied gratefully and left. This is exactly what he wanted.

His physical fitness was already at its peak for a Quasi-Knight. What he needed now were knight skills.

He didn’t know when he would get another simulation count. What Milton needed to do now was to master the knight skills as soon as possible and then cultivate the breathing technique.

The ultimate goal was definitely to activate the Life Seed and become a real knight!
