On the way back, Chen Xiaojun sat cross-legged atop the Seven Kill Sword when a crisp, pleasant voice with a faint mechanical quality suddenly rang out in his mind.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Detected that the host has obtained the First Soul Ring. One reward draw is available!
"???"
It wasn't that Chen Xiaojun hadn't tried to see whether he had a system or a cheat since transmigrating, but unfortunately, he had never gotten any results, so he had given up. "So I had to become a soul master first, huh?"
System! System! System!
At that moment, Chen Xiaojun was overjoyed, excitedly calling out in his mind. Even if he had never eaten pork, had he never seen a pig run? A transmigrator's system could be communicated with through thought.
Host, please do not repeat words!
... May I ask, System, what kind of system are you?
A grow-stronger system!
What a simple name...
Then what's the lottery?
It is a reward this system gives the host to help him grow stronger. Every time the host obtains a soul ring, one reward is granted.
Only obtaining soul rings lets me draw? In other words, only nine times?
That is the fixed reward.
Then what about non-fixed ones?
Don't know!
Chen Xiaojun nearly went crazy. How could you not know? You're a system!
I simply don't know! The conditions for non-fixed rewards are unknown! Host, please comprehend them on your own! I can only tell the host that non-fixed rewards are extremely difficult, so there is basically no need to think about them.
"..." Chen Xiaojun expressed that he was very speechless.
Forget it. Is there a Newbie Gift Pack?
No!
Are there any main quests?
No!
Is there some kind of exchange shop?
No!
Then what purpose do you have?
To help the host grow stronger!
"..."
Chen Xiaojun felt that he had run into the simplest, most infuriating system in the entire army of transmigrators!
Then how do I draw?
A large wheel appeared in Chen Xiaojun's mind, displayed like an AR game. There were thirty-six sections in total, and each section was written with characters such as: Merit, Method, Skill, Art, Land, Wealth, Companion, Contract, Pill, Talisman, Formation, Artifact, Fate, Plant, Storage, Clone, Field, Token, Occupation, Search, Beast, and so on. The image was actually rather refined, without the cheap, crude feeling he had imagined.
Host, do you wish to use the reward draw now?
Use it!
A golden iron ball appeared on the large wheel. It slowly started moving, spinning faster and faster, continuously turning. One second, two seconds, three seconds, ten seconds, thirty seconds, one minute... time slowly passed.
Why hasn't the iron ball stopped yet?
The host has not shouted stop.
"!!!!" Chen Xiaojun felt that he needed to properly study some books on self-cultivation.
Stop!
Ten seconds passed, yet the iron ball still had not stopped...
Why hasn't it stopped yet?
To prevent the host from cheating by watching visually, it requires thirty seconds to stop.
00XX...
It finally stopped, landing on the position marked "Companion." The system interface then turned into three covered cards.
Host, please flip a card!
What's your definition of Companion?
It belongs to the "Companion" of the four essentials of Cultivation of Truth: "Law, Companion, Wealth, Land." It refers to a like-minded fellow Daoist.
Haha, a Dao companion would be best!
The character generated by this system will naturally be close to the host. Whether they become Dao companions depends on you, host.
It's not something like one hundred percent loyalty?
What this system generates is a person, a real person. There is no such quantified loyalty. Host, please flip a card!
"..."
Chen Xiaojun felt that what it said made a lot of sense, and he had no comeback.
The middle one!
He flipped it over. On the card, a purple-haired girl stood silently on a branch, her face covered by a thin veil. A purple gemstone hung at the center of her brow, and her purple eyes were like crystals, filled only with endless indifference. Behind her, a Wheel Fan slantingly woven from silk and gathered flowers displayed her identity.
Chen Xiaojun's pupils shrank slightly. He truly had not expected it to be her!
With her breathtaking beauty and spotless, otherworldly aura, she had been one of Chen Xiaojun's favorite fantasy characters in his previous life!
Congratulations, host. You have obtained Shao Siming of the Yin Yang School from "Qin's Moon"!
Shao Shao!
She was practically the most popular character in "Qin's Moon," a young woman with long purple hair and purple eyes, always covering her face with a veil. Legend said she was as beautiful as a celestial maiden, but no one in the world had ever seen her true face beneath that veil.
She was one of the Death Bringers who struck terror into all who heard her name, cold by nature, and possessed profound martial arts far beyond her age.
Yet was she not also someone pitiful? There was no need to speak of her background.
The position of Shao Siming was an ill-omened one. Anyone who held it would not live long.
Before each Shao Siming truly took office, she had to personally kill the previous one. Because of that, each successor would be stronger than the last, and each would be crueler and less human than the last.
The position of Shao Siming did not exist by turning qi into power, but by exchanging the soul for qi.
When the soul scattered, life ended. Every time Shao Siming activated Myriad Leaves Flying Flower Stream, what she consumed was her soul. It could also be understood as life itself.
Life had form, death left no shadow; when the soul was severed, all qi was extinguished. This was Shao Siming!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaojun immediately asked, System, does Shao Siming come with the cultivation method she practiced?
Yes. The character has already formed and comes with the cultivation methods and abilities of her original world. To fit the host's circumstances, she is now six years old and will appear today! Please receive her, host!
Huh? Where?
At the entrance of Chen Lin Village!
I have a question. Shao Siming's Myriad Leaves Flying Flower Stream consumes the soul, so what about her?
Host, please do not forget where this continent is!
Douluo Continent. Don't tell me she has a martial soul?
Yes. With a martial soul, she can absorb Heaven and Earth Soul Power. Here, consuming soul power will not reduce her Life Force.
Chen Xiaojun's expression instantly relaxed, but then he suddenly thought of another question.
System, I remember Shao Siming seemed to have a problem speaking?
Host, it is not as if that is a terminal illness that cannot be treated.
Can't you just treat and repair it directly?
This system is only responsible for the lottery, not after-sales service!
*...*
That tone nearly made Chen Xiaojun explode with anger, so his words became a little impolite.
One more question. With you existing, doesn't that mean I usually have no secrets?
Host, there is no need to worry about that. This system is usually in a dormant state. It can only be activated for seventy-two hours whenever the host obtains a reward, so the host must use the reward within seventy-two hours. No service after expiration!
It needed to be explained here that this was not the conventional kind of system everyone imagined. It was merely a lottery machine, a cheat to increase combat power and enrich certain storylines.
This novel was also not a system novel.

As for your Recommendation Tickets and collections, I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation, hehehe.
