The landlord, eager to save a few bucks, replied at a speed too fast to retract the message: "Okay, okay, you fix it, you fix it. When are you going to fix it?

I'll give you the master circuit breaker key for Building 6."

Not long after the message was sent, someone named 'Hardware Tools' spoke up: "I have all kinds of sound-activated lights here. You can buy from me, and I can help with installation too."

"Let's fix it today. We'll buy from you, and you help us install it @Hardware Tools." Adam Carter didn't want to make things complicated and directly tagged that person in the group.

And so, the matter was settled.

He picked a sound-activated light with both "smart voice control/remote control" functions from 'Hardware Tools' and installed them in every hallway.

Even the sound-activated lights that were still working were all replaced.

At the same time, he quietly had a copy of the master circuit breaker box key made.

Chapter 4: Relic

In a space so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, a giant clock face floated in midair.

Adam Carter sat upright, listening carefully to the electronic voice in his ear: "Welcome to the Perfect Life Simulator!"

"Your wallet has a balance of 3 yuan-jade. Each personal life simulation costs 1 yuan-jade."

"Would you like to spend yuan-jade to bring real-world items into the simulation game?"

"Yes." Adam Carter answered immediately.

Only one hand remained on the clock face, and the twelve numbers had turned into various items Adam Carter could bring into the simulation game.

Option 0: Your body (costs 10 yuan-jade).

Option 1: Alpha head-mounted monocular infrared night vision device.

Option 2: Mysterious copper-wrapped bone.

Option 3: Master circuit breaker box key for Unit 6, Ping'an Garden.

Option 4: Remote control for the hallway sound-activated lights in Unit 6, Ping'an Garden.

……

Adam Carter first selected the infrared night vision device, spending 1 yuan-jade.

Then his gaze lingered briefly on the description for option 2: This is an unusual bone. At the right moment, it may undergo unexpected changes.

Option 2 was exactly the 'Gangdong' Adam Carter had bought online.

He had read the simulator's description of this item and thought that this Gangdong might really surprise him at a critical moment, so he spent his last yuan-jade on it, reducing his wallet balance to zero.

He did not choose the remaining options 3 and 4.

It wasn't that these two items weren't important, but that he simply had no more yuan-jade left.

He could only hope that this time his score would improve, allowing him to earn more yuan-jade and select more items.

Moreover, since the simulator was simulating his own future, and he had already made changes, the future should also change accordingly.

In his future room, these things he had specially prepared should be there.

"Loading talents..."

"Loading game..."

Unlike the previous two times, this time two screens appeared before Adam Carter's eyes.

On one screen, he was sitting at his desk, wearing the infrared night vision device, holding the Gangdong bone flute in his left hand.

The other screen was completely pitch black.

Adam Carter's gaze skipped over the first and landed directly on the second, completely dark screen.

Soon, the electronic voice prompted in his ear: "You have obtained the 'Relic - Mysterious Copper-Wrapped Bone.' You can spend 500 yuan-jade to unlock the past life of the relic's original owner. Would you like to unlock it?"

"Detected that your wallet balance is 0. Unlocking is not permitted."

The simulator could not only simulate Adam Carter's life, but also the lives of others.

He hadn't expected that to simulate someone else's life, he would first need to obtain their 'relic' and then spend a certain amount of yuan-jade to unlock the simulation.

The life of the owner of this bone must be extraordinary...

To simulate their life actually required 500 yuan-jade.

Adam Carter's thoughts spun, and he suddenly realized a problem—back then, the seller had clearly said that this Gangdong was a handicraft made from yak bone. If that's the case, if he really spent 500 yuan-jade, would he end up simulating the past of a yak?

Or... was this bone actually not from a yak at all...

"Hiss—"

He stopped his train of thought.

If he kept thinking like this, this simulation might end halfway because of his own hesitation.

Focusing his vision on the first screen, Adam Carter's consciousness was instantly drawn in.

The electronic voice suddenly sounded: "Your future life has been successfully loaded!"

The giant clock face instantly shattered, and in the darkness, Adam Carter reached out and touched the desk in front of him.

He withdrew his hand, found the switch on the night vision device he was wearing, and pressed it lightly. His left eye, equipped with the night vision device, saw the room in black and white.

This was a high-definition night vision device. Although the image was black and white, it was extremely clear.

The texture of the desk and the mold spots on the wall were all visible.

Adam Carter let out a sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping around the room, but he didn't find the master circuit breaker box key or the hallway sound-activated light remote. His heart sank slightly. Holding the Gangdong in one hand, he picked up the notebook and phone on the desk with the other and stuffed them directly into his pocket.

He turned the doorknob.

With a creak, the door opened, revealing the plain and tidy living room outside.

The window that lit the living room was also blocked by a huge mattress, not letting in a single ray of light.
