When our protagonist regained consciousness, he found himself seemingly trapped in a cramped space. Some kind of liquid surrounded him, and there seemed to be a soft lump of flesh beside him?

"What's going on?"

He was confused. He remembered pulling several all-nighters in a row to finish his work. Afterward, he went home and collapsed into bed. How had he woken up trapped in a place like this?

What was this lump of flesh beside him?

He found that he could not open his eyes. Confused, he reached out and felt around the lump beside him. First came something round, then shoulders, then arms... Wasn't this a freaking baby?!

"Why is there a baby beside me? Could it be that I've become a baby still in the womb too?!"

Our protagonist quickly realized the truth.

"What's going on? How did I become a baby when I was perfectly fine? And it looks like we're twins? Could this be the legendary reincarnation? Did I die? How did I die?" Countless questions surfaced in his mind one after another.

At that moment, accompanied by a ding.

Something resembling a game status panel appeared before his eyes. Even though he had not opened them, he could somehow see it. It was completely unscientific.

Name: Yun Chuan ...Detailed information not expanded... Current World: Douluo Continent. Traversable Worlds: None (requirements for traversal not met!)

"This is... the legendary system? And Douluo Continent? I actually transmigrated into the world of a novel?!" Yun Chuan finally came to his senses after seeing this.

During his spare time, Yun Chuan would read web novels to relax. So, he was no stranger to transmigration, though he had always believed it was fantasy. He never imagined that one day, something like this would happen to him. It truly felt surreal.

Still, although transmigration felt incredibly unreal, he had already gone from a perfectly normal adult to a baby still in the womb. What else was there that he could not accept?

Mere transmigration was child's play compared to somehow turning into a baby in the womb after one night's sleep.

After spending quite a while.

Yun Chuan finally managed to accept reality and began studying the status panel before him. Following the usual web novel formula, this was probably his transmigrator's golden finger.

As the capital he would rely on to establish himself in this world after birth, he naturally had to study it carefully.

Using his thoughts, he opened the detailed information on the panel, and more information immediately appeared on the simple interface.

Name: Yun Chuan Charm: 35+ (Although you have not yet been born, having inherited your mother's excellent bloodline, you are destined to become a handsome man who captivates countless young women!) Comprehension: 24+ (Having undergone the baptism of reincarnation, your comprehension may be insignificant compared to the many geniuses of the Myriad Realms, but in this low-level world, it places you among the very best.) Innate Talent: 25+ (The bloodline inherited from your parents has granted you extraordinary innate talent. You are destined to become a man who stands tall between heaven and earth!) Attribute Points: 100 (Beginner's benefit, given free of charge!) Beginner's Benefit: One free draw. (Draws hold endless possibilities and can obtain anything.) Current World: Douluo Continent. Traversable Worlds: None (requirements for traversal not met!)

Yun Chuan studied the panel carefully for a long while and felt that the key to this golden finger lay in the Attribute Points. As long as he used Attribute Points, he could raise his various talent attributes.

As for the free draw, he did not think it was reliable. With good luck, he might draw something invincible, but with bad luck, he might only get useless trash. Entrusting his future fate to an unpredictable draw was not his style.

So, he did not immediately choose to use the draw. Besides, he was still in the womb. What if he drew something strange and it appeared directly inside the womb? Wouldn't that be the end of him? In any case, he would wait until after he was born before worrying about draws.

At this stage, he should first allocate the 100 Attribute Points gifted by the system.

Although this system could not make him invincible in a single leap, adding Attribute Points could grant him unparalleled talent!

And as long as one's talent was good, becoming powerful in this world was ridiculously easy. After all, this was a world that placed extreme importance on talent. If one's talent was lacking, then no matter how hard one worked, one was destined never to become strong. Master Yu Xiaogang from the original novel was the clearest example.

"This system is rather user-friendly. It gave me 100 initial Attribute Points, but how should I allocate them?" Yun Chuan began to think carefully.

There was no doubt that the initial allocation of Attribute Points was extremely important. If he added points carelessly, it could very likely lead to unforeseeable and serious consequences.

"Charm, comprehension, innate talent... How should these three be allocated?" He began analyzing what each attribute represented.

Charm was undoubtedly not something as superficial as appearance alone. It should encompass other aspects as well, perhaps even improving one's temperament or personal charisma. The higher one's charm, the more liked one would naturally be. It would also give one every advantage in social interactions. With sufficiently high charm, perhaps even gods in places of divine inheritance would take a liking to him and directly choose him as their heir.

Comprehension should not merely refer to understanding. It might also include memory, reaction speed, strategic intelligence, broad perspective, and many other aspects.

Innate Talent should not merely refer to physical constitution. In this world of Martial Souls, it might also encompass bloodline, innate abilities, Martial Souls, and many other aspects.

All three attributes looked extremely important. Now, he only had to decide which one to prioritize.

Yun Chuan stared at the status panel and pondered for a long time. At last, he made his decision and silently used his thoughts to click the plus signs after the three attributes, raising them.

A moment later, his personal attributes became.

Name: Yun Chuan Charm: 100 (Charm fully maxed out! Your charm has surpassed racial boundaries! In the eyes of any living being, you are the most dazzling one! Even across the Myriad Realms, your charm ranks among the very best!) Comprehension: 24+ (Having undergone the baptism of reincarnation, your comprehension may be insignificant compared to the many geniuses of the Myriad Realms, but in this low-level world, it places you among the very best.) Innate Talent: 25/60 (The superior bloodline inherited from your parents has successfully broken through the boundary between mortal and divine with the support of Attribute Points. Your bloodline has undergone ultimate sublimation! Your innate talent and aptitude have escaped the constraints of this world's framework. Even across the Myriad Realms, your current aptitude is considered excellent, and your future potential is limitless!) Attribute Points: 0 (Attribute Points are exceptionally precious. Please use them carefully!) Beginner's Benefit: One free draw. (Draws hold endless possibilities and can obtain anything.) Current World: Douluo Continent. Traversable Worlds: None (requirements for traversal not met!)

That was right. Yun Chuan had used most of his Attribute Points to raise his charm, with only a small portion going toward his Innate Talent. As for comprehension, he believed his current intelligence was enough. Being too smart was not necessarily good. Knowing everything and being able to learn everything would be far too boring.

Sometimes, being a little foolish was not a bad thing.

Smart people tended to overthink, and once people thought too much, troubles would come pouring in without end. In contrast, fools who did not overthink could live more easily and happily.

As for why he had put most of his points into charm rather than Innate Talent, it was naturally because Yun Chuan clearly understood that this was a world that judged faces. Most people's values followed their features. Regardless of gender, as long as one was beautiful or handsome, one would always hold every advantage in society!

This was true in every world.

So Yun Chuan directly maxed out his charm. After he was born, even if nothing else worked out, he could still make a living with his face. With such a captivating and attractive face, he would be welcomed wherever he went.
