Let me be honest.

As a player with cheats.

And not just any cheats—purely violent cheats, the kind that won the game right from the start.

Faced with his current life script set to the absolute easiest difficulty.

Xi Shenlian honestly had no idea what else he could possibly want.

Aside from having the entire human race work itself to the bone for him.

The Life Winner System's two innate Extra Talents alone—Destined for Supreme Wealth and Life Winner's Wealth Customization Right—were already more than enough to let him lie flat and wait for death.

As a result, Xi Shenlian had no clear purpose at all when drawing from the lottery.

His mind was filled with nothing but, Just give me something useful.

Even if it gave him a hamburger to whet his appetite.

He truly wouldn't have cared.

But unfortunately.

Unlike its user, who had given up on life.

The Life Winner System—Luxury Supreme Custom Edition—felt that it absolutely had to pull itself together!!

Therefore.

It refused to go to ruin and continued desperately cheating for Xi Shenlian, who was trying to go to ruin!

Its dedication to service was truly enough to bring one to tears!!

1. Extra Talent—Grace, Extremely Important: After using this Extra Talent, the user's clothes and appearance will receive special enhancement. His head may be severed and his blood may flow, but his hairstyle must not be messed up. Gamma-ray bursts cannot disturb his hairstyle, and the Big Bang cannot ruin his outfit. It comes with an all-weather automatic cleaning function for the user's clothes and appearance. (Note: Based on the clothing's indestructibility effect, this means the user's clothes will be immune to all piercing and slashing effects, but the actual damage will not be reduced. Various impacts will still apply.)

2. Universal Plague Medicine (Boxed—1,000 pills): No matter what illness it is, even a congenital genetic disease, one pill will take effect immediately and restore the patient to perfect health on the spot.

3. Regret Pill (Single-Pill Package—A precious single pill provided by His Majesty): After consuming it, the user can choose one event they have experienced to regret, automatically traveling back to the very beginning of that event. It ignores space, time, causality, fate...

4. Didi Hitman Card (Quantity: 1): After designating an individual or group as the target, using this card will summon a hitman from the system's manufacturer, Crimson Heaven—the Fallen Mech Council. The hitman will be stronger than the target and subject them to all kinds of brutal beatings. Available services include: beating the target to death, beating the target into crippling injuries, beating the target until they become pregnant, and beating the target until they change sex...

5. Merciful Spear: This is a merciful spear that does not kill living beings. Even shooting someone in the head will not kill them. However, anyone hit by it will randomly and permanently lose a certain number of nonlethal body parts. Its range is the user's line of sight.

6. Pulse Interference Earrings (Customizable Earring Style): A high-tech item from a certain technological civilization, powered by vacuum zero-point energy and antimatter. According to the user's thoughts, it can release special pulses of various strengths and frequencies, allowing it to attack and interfere with all kinds of equipment in the surrounding area.

7. Mud Truck Controller: Through this controller, the user can summon a Mud Truck during a designated period, based on the actual local circumstances, to crash into a designated target. Whether it kills the target, injures the target, or is forcibly endured by the target depends on the local level of technology and the target's actual strength.

8. Impoverished Family Card (Quantity: 1): After choosing a target, that target will truly experience what it is like to live in poverty. The effect is permanent and includes their next life, the life after that, the life after that... continuing for generation after generation, lifetime after lifetime. It is useless against the system host, because the host's Destined for Supreme Wealth is permanently fixed at the highest level and enjoys the highest priority in all related aspects.

9. World War Signal Gun: When you fire this gun into the sky, under the influence of fate and causality, the world will soon enter the World War phase through a series of strange coincidences. The effective range is the currently encountered instance's range—in other words, it adapts automatically. It could be a continent, a planet, a universe, or countless universes... The exact time when the World War ends depends on the luck of the local natives. Note: May His Majesty the King of Crimson show mercy. Hopefully, everyone on the other side will suffer an accident on the spot and die horribly.

10. A Decent Dagger: A dagger from a certain technological civilization. Both its sharpness and hardness are excellent, and it was forged from an entire colossal neutron star. It comes with a gravity-convergence device, allowing its actual weight to be adjusted freely between one milligram and the actual weight of an entire neutron star. Once its weight is released to a certain degree, it will automatically produce a black-hole effect due to the density of matter, attracting and absorbing everything around it. More importantly, this dagger comes with flashy lighting effects, making it highly suitable for everyday use. For example: peeling fruit and chopping vegetables.

Looking at the things he had casually drawn.

'...'

As Xi Shenlian's pupils contracted slightly, he instinctively drew in a sharp breath.

'Holy crap, this is terrifying...'

'Are all these things this absurd?'

The effects of the other items were still uncertain.

But the World War Signal Gun and A Decent Dagger were unquestionably dangerous objects that could bring about the destruction of the world if one wasn't careful.

Especially the latter!

As a dagger forged from an entire neutron star.

It only needed to release a little of its actual weight to wipe out the entire Earth and Solar System through its own gravitational field, like some kind of special Two-Dimensional Foil.

The former's adaptive effective range was just as ridiculous.

That thing...

If he really fired it once.

Even Xi Shenlian had no idea how many unlucky people would die or be injured.

Even a global nuclear war, with mushrooms blooming everywhere, would be perfectly normal.

Furthermore.

Xi Shenlian vaguely felt that these two things were not the most powerful items among the rewards from this lottery.

Among the ten items.

The Didi Hitman Card and the Regret Pill gave him an instinctive feeling that these two things were weapons of mass destruction.

As for the former's actual function.

From the item description, he could barely make a guess.

It was probably that the summoned hitman might cause a huge commotion.

But the latter.

He couldn't quite understand where its mass-destructive potential came from.

He simply felt, deep in his heart, that after eating it, he would be able to clear his life script on the spot.

Overall, it gave him a feeling almost like facing a button that could clear the game in one press.

But he didn't remember encountering anything in this life that could let him clear the entire life script with one press...

Could it be that this thing's activation range wasn't limited to this life, but also included his various previous lives? But had anything in his previous lives really happened that could change everything?

In the end.

After thinking it over and over without arriving at any definite answer, Xi Shenlian used Extra Talent—Grace, Extremely Important, and temporarily set aside his suspicions.

Moreover.

At some point, three pairs of metallic earrings had appeared on his two ears, their color exactly matching his hair.

They were dark purple and ring-shaped, with no patterns on their surfaces. Their entire bodies radiated a cold, mechanical feel.

Each ear had three hanging from it, for a total of six, or three pairs.

They were not designed for pierced ears.

Instead, tiny mechanical claws automatically clamped onto the surface of his earlobes.

Although the mechanical claws were not clamped tightly, thanks to the effect of Extra Talent—Grace, Extremely Important, they would never fall off for the rest of his life unless Xi Shenlian removed them himself. He could also switch their styles and retract them into System Space at any time according to his wishes, rather like costume skins in a game that could be canceled at any time.
