A Heaven-Defying Man Who Maxed Out a Character in One Ten-Pull! System Awakening!

In a rented apartment, Lu Mingchuan sat before his computer, rubbing his hands together. Today was the day Huang Quan entered the banner pool, and the upcoming pull was his guaranteed five-star—and his final ten-pull.

"Please, I offer up all the romantic luck of my life. Don't make me lose the fifty-fifty. If I do, I'll be eating dirt this week."

He clicked the mouse twice and stared tensely at the screen.

"One, two, seven, eight... Holy crap, maxed out in one pull."

He immediately took screenshots and sent them everywhere. Looking at the various jealous comments in the group chat calling him a cheater or accusing him of editing the image, he picked up the Happy Water on the table and took a sip to calm himself down. Still, he could not help feeling a little worried.

"Holy crap, I didn't really sacrifice all my romantic luck for the rest of my life, did I?"

As he spoke, he prepared to equip Huang Quan's best-in-slot set. But a sudden stabbing pain twisted through his chest. He pulled his hands away from the keyboard, clutched his chest, and gritted his teeth. "I remember sacrificing romance, not my lifespan."

Then everything went black, and all sound vanished. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a stretch of blue sky. At first, Lu Mingchuan thought some friend he knew was playing a prank on him. He reached out, about to sit up, only to discover that his large hands were gone, replaced by a pair of tiny, tender ones.

"Oh no. I must have transmigrated. And I transmigrated after being reborn as my infant self."

Lu Mingchuan then looked around and realized he was probably in someone's vegetable garden. So he activated an infant's exclusive skill: crying loudly.

His cries woke Old Jack, who had been sleeping soundly outside the garden. Confused, Old Jack got up and headed into the vegetable patch to investigate. There, he found a swaddled infant crying without pause. He hurried forward and scooped Lu Mingchuan into his arms.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry. Grandpa's here."

Seeing someone arrive, Lu Mingchuan gradually stopped crying. Once Old Jack saw that he had quieted down, he left the garden and searched the surrounding area. After hesitating for a moment, he finally carried Lu Mingchuan back to his house.

"Ah, from now on, I'll be your grandfather. What name should I give you?"

Old Jack found himself in a difficult spot. After pondering for a long time, he looked at Lu Mingchuan, whom he had placed on the bed, and said, "What do you think of Jerry?"

The moment Lu Mingchuan heard those two words, he began bawling without hesitation. Old Jack was at a loss again, while Lu Mingchuan suddenly felt something hard against his chest. He struggled with all his might until he finally caught Old Jack's attention.

"Right, I haven't even checked whether you're a boy or a girl."

Old Jack then prepared to untie Lu Mingchuan's swaddling clothes. He had only loosened them slightly when he spotted a small jade tag hidden in the inner layer. Three large characters were carved onto it: Lu Mingchuan.

Seeing the jade tag in Old Jack's hand, Lu Mingchuan sighed in relief. He secretly thought that the novels he had read in his previous life had not lied to him after all.

With the naming issue resolved, Lu Mingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Old Jack. After all, asking a genuine farmer like Old Jack to come up with a name was simply making things too difficult for him.

After settling the matter of his name, Old Jack went out and got some goat's milk for Lu Mingchuan. After drinking it, Lu Mingchuan fell into a deep sleep.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three years passed. Lu Mingchuan was now lying atop a rock on the Back Mountain behind Holy Soul Village, enjoying a sunbath.

Suddenly, a voice rang out in Lu Mingchuan's mind. "Ding. Congratulations, Host. System binding successful."

Lu Mingchuan shot upright in excitement. After all, this was a world that relied on bloodlines. He had transmigrated bodily, so who knew whether he would even be able to awaken a Spirit Awakening? But now that the system had arrived, Lu Mingchuan knew he was set!

"System, introduce your functions."

After calming himself down, Lu Mingchuan asked the system.

"Ding. The system currently possesses the following functions: inspection, personal panel, lottery, summoning, storage space, and system shop. Other functions await the Host's unlock."

Seeing these familiar functions, Lu Mingchuan's eyes lit up. He continued in his mind, "Please explain the lottery function in detail."

"Ding. There are two types of lotteries: the Normal Lottery and the Character Lottery. The Normal Lottery costs 280 Points per draw or 2,800 Points for ten draws. Every ten draws guarantee one purple-grade item. Character Lottery draws cannot be purchased and can only be obtained through system missions. A character is guaranteed every ten draws. Character grades correspond to item grades."

"Then what are the specific item grades, and how do I obtain Points?"

Lu Mingchuan pressed on.

"Ding. From highest to lowest, item grades are red, black, gold, purple, blue, green, and white. All can be obtained through lotteries. Items obtained through lotteries can be purchased through the shop. Points are primarily obtained by changing the plot and completing system missions."

"Ding. Would the Host like to claim the beginner's gift pack?"

Overjoyed, Lu Mingchuan hurriedly nodded.

"Claim it, claim it."

"Ding. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one exclusive black-grade draw!!"

"System, draw."

After suppressing his excitement and speaking those words, Lu Mingchuan's consciousness entered a vast white space. As he surveyed his surroundings, an enormous roulette wheel suddenly appeared before him and began spinning with a rumble.

A moment later, Lu Mingchuan watched as the needle stopped on an item called [Gaze of the Hunt]. After staring blankly for a moment, he was overcome with excitement.

If his guess was right, this referred to the gaze of Lan, the Aeon of the Hunt. In Honkai: Star Rail's setting, merely being glanced at by an Aeon allowed one to set foot upon a Path, let alone receiving its gaze.

While Lu Mingchuan was thinking, the Gaze of the Hunt detached from the roulette wheel, transformed into a streak of light, and entered his body. His vision then plunged into darkness.

When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a void filled with meteors. Looking around, Lu Mingchuan thought to himself, Just as I expected. Since I've come to the Path's Interstice, I should be about to receive the gaze of the Aeon of the Hunt.

Lu Mingchuan looked around. Suddenly, a figure holding a longbow and resembling a centaur appeared before him. Its face was directly before his. After making a string of sounds he could not understand, it raised a hoof and kicked him out of the Path's Interstice.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a sky full of stars. Lu Mingchuan sat up and rubbed his head before asking in his mind, "System, are you there?"

"Ding. I am here, Host."

"Wasn't I claiming that reward? Why did I pass out?"

Lu Mingchuan asked while rubbing his still somewhat groggy head.

"Ding. The Host's body is too frail to withstand an Aeon's gaze, which is why you lost consciousness. However, please rest assured that the Host suffered no harm under the system's protection. Furthermore, the reward will undergo certain adjustments according to this world's rules. The Gaze of the Hunt will awaken as the Host's Spirit Awakening at the age of six."

"I see."

After understanding what had happened, Lu Mingchuan sat where he was and rested for a while longer. Only after the groggy feeling in his mind had faded did he get up and hurry home.

"Ah, I slept straight through from noon until night. Grandpa Jack will worry again."

Thinking of Grandpa Jack at home, Lu Mingchuan quickened his pace even more. --Brothers, please show me some support.

I'm a new author, so please tell me wherever my writing falls short. I'll definitely read it. This book will not recruit original residents.
