"It's already been six years." Lying back on the lounge chair on his balcony, gazing at the river of stars in the night sky, Su Mingyue couldn't help but raise his hand softly.

"I never expected that someone like me could transmigrate. I was just an 18th-tier virtual streamer, after all."

He opened his small hand and then clenched it into the air, his thoughts inevitably drifting back to the beginning:

It was a rainy day. After finishing his grocery shopping and heading home, he met his untimely end while trying to save a little girl crossing the street.

He transmigrated inexplicably and was turned back into an infant, living that way until his adoptive grandparents passed away of natural causes not long ago.

As someone who had been raised by the state and had no attachments before transmigrating, he had at least enjoyed a few years of familial warmth in this new life.

Rubbing his slightly reddened eyes and casting aside his chaotic thoughts, Su Mingyue suddenly sighed:

"Even though I was always bragging to my fans that if I could transmigrate, I'd do this or that, now that I've actually transmigrated—and to the Douluo Continent, no less—I really can't think of anything a normal person can do!"

Over these years, Su Mingyue had roughly grasped the general intelligence of this world.

Or rather, from the moment he saw the phrase "Sea God Tang San from 20,000 years ago," he had been completely stunned.

As a relatively disciplined shut-in streamer, his few pastimes outside of streaming for hours were reading novels and watching anime.

So, for the four-part Douluo series, Su Mingyue was well aware of its reputation.

After all, the "Way of Seeking Death" was quite famous.

But when he truly transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, and specifically the era of Legend of the Dragon King, Su Mingyue was utterly bewildered.

Not to mention that the various opportunities and resources of this era were basically carved up and controlled by the major factions.

The mere fact that his body had reverted to an infant upon transmigration meant it was impossible for him to possess a Martial Soul or soul power!

"Sigh, is it possible that even after transmigrating, I'm destined to be a mediocre person for the rest of my life?"

Gazing melancholically at the sky, Su Mingyue couldn't help but ask.

Ding! Detected strong emotional fluctuations from the Master. Life Simulator reboot successful!

Suddenly, a mechanical electronic female voice rang out, and Su Mingyue subconsciously rubbed his ears.

But soon, having read countless novels, he immediately reacted. Forcing down his excitement, he asked cautiously:

"Life... Simulator?"

Ding! Yes, Master. The Life Simulator is at your service.

Following the reappearance of the electronic voice, a pale blue light screen materialized before him.

[Master: Su Mingyue Age: 6 Talent: None Current Life Simulator attempts: 1]

It looked like a personal panel from a game in his past life. After scanning it once, Su Mingyue immediately locked his gaze on the number of current Life Simulator attempts.

After rubbing his eyes hard to ensure it wasn't a hallucination and steadying his breathing a few times, Su Mingyue finally calmed down.

He then asked softly, "Introduce your general functions."

Ding! Answering Master, the function introduction has been displayed. Please review it, Master.

After the electronic voice faded, a list of functions for the "Life Simulator" appeared before Su Mingyue.

"Hmm... immersive life simulation, start by drawing 3 talents, free exploration of the main storyline, and unlocking achievements. Depending on the impact score of the simulation ending, talents can be retained and synchronized to reality."

"It's not much different from the games I played before transmigrating. It's just a pity I can't use cheats."

Having roughly understood the simulator's functions, Su Mingyue couldn't help but mutter a light remark.

"So, how should these Life Simulator attempts be used?" Collecting his thoughts and closing the introductions, Su Mingyue changed the subject.

Ding! Master, simply think the command to use it. Would you like to use the Life Simulator, Master?

"Use it."

[Ding! Life simulation starting!]

[Currently available talents: "Twin Martial Souls", "Super Douluo Illegitimate Child", "Inherent Level 20 Soul Power", "Great Inventor", "Void Archives", "Fast Runner", "Little Trap", "Human-Beast Hybrid", "Top-tier Family Background".]

ps: Talent grades: White, Green, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red, Rainbow!

Dazzling and flashing in various colors, about twenty talents quickly appeared on the panel before Su Mingyue.

Good heavens! A red one right out of the Space Gate?

Seeing the talent glowing with red light on the panel at a glance, Su Mingyue locked onto it without hesitation!

After feeling smug about his lucky-as-a-whale fortune for a moment, he began to check the other talents.

But as he looked, the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

Selectively ignoring some of the more abstract talent names despite their good quality, he quickly selected three talents.

"Void Archives (Red)": A weapon created from the core of the Herrscher of Reason. Its standard form is a golden hexahedron, capable of turning into fluid. It can replicate weapons, Divine Keys, and items whose construction principles the user understands. Inside is a knowledge space that extends almost infinitely, storing the knowledge of an entire era of civilization collected by the Herrscher of Reason! (Note: Perhaps you can use it to understand the essence of Martial Souls and soul power.)

"Great Inventor (Gold)": The sage carries firewood for the masses! The brave protect the safety of the masses! And the wise guide the masses forward! Your wisdom is peerless; you are a person born for knowledge! (Note: If you develop a technology tree, it will gradually move toward the unpredictable.)

"Top-tier Family Background (Purple)": Rather than working hard to reach Rome, it is better to be born standing in the center of it. Therefore, a family with top-tier comprehensive strength in this world is randomly selected as your background! (Note: When you're out on the streets, you have to talk about influence. Which path do you walk?)

"Hmm—although it's a bit stinky, compared to the other talents, this combination is still the best, so let's activate it!"

Whispering to himself as he returned to his room, Su Mingyue immediately found a comfortable position and lay down.

[Ding! Talent selection complete, life simulation is about to begin.]

[Please note, Master, the life simulation will not have any effe—bzzt—ct on the real world. Please take it seriously!]

[Simulation starting!]

He seemed to hear a strange crackle of static electricity mixed into the simulator's electronic female voice.

But before he could think about it further, as his consciousness blurred, Su Mingyue felt as if he were sinking into an endless darkness.
