Lan Lingcang only felt dazed and confused.

His memories still lingered on that late night from his previous life.

At the time, he had been lying in bed, holding his phone and reading a Douluo Continent fanfiction novel.

The author's name was rather amusing: Xiao Pang Wants to Write Ten Thousand.

Lan Lingcang had been about to urge him to update when his vision suddenly went black, and the whole world was completely turned upside down.

When he regained consciousness, he discovered that he had no hands at all.

Not only did he have no hands, he had no feet either. His entire body was slender and delicate.

As far as his eyes could see, there were only patches of dark blue swaying in the wind.

He had transmigrated.

And he had transmigrated directly into the world of Douluo Continent.

Why did he know that he had transmigrated?

Because he had not just arrived here—he had merely just awakened the memories of his previous life.

As an old bookworm, transmigration was not particularly difficult for him to accept. After all, he had no family left anyway.

But the harsh reality that came with it left him feeling deeply powerless.

He had not transmigrated into a human. He had become a blade of grass.

That was right—the Blue Silver Grass found everywhere on Douluo Continent, regarded by everyone as the standard trash martial soul and trash soul beast!

A breeze passed by, and Lan Lingcang's slender blades of grass swayed uncontrollably with the wind. The feeling of being unable to fully control even his own body left him in despair.

After some time spent exploring, Lan Lingcang figured out his current situation.

The air around him was filled with a rich plant fragrance. This place should be the Blue Silver Ancestral Land within the Star Dou Great Forest.

For a Blue Silver Grass, this was perhaps a blessing amid misfortune.

That was because the death rate of Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Ancestral Land was not as high as that of the wild Blue Silver Grass outside.

Outside, any ten-year soul beast passing by could trample a whole patch to death. The Ancestral Land had the Blue Silver King, but that was only relative.

Lan Lingcang knew better than anyone that the Blue Silver King's true combat strength was simply nothing impressive.

Within Douluo Continent's system, the Blue Silver King could at most be considered a support-and-control-type soul beast.

When facing truly powerful soul beasts, or human Soul Masters who entered the forest to hunt soul beasts, the Blue Silver King had no truly effective, powerful offensive means to protect everyone.

Thinking of this made Lan Lingcang's headache worse. He twisted his grass body with all his strength.

His dark blue blades swayed violently in the breeze, venting the frustration and grievance in his heart:

Heavens, isn't this starting point way too miserable?

No matter how gifted other transmigrators are at the start, at least they're human.

Even if they're trash with only half a rank of Innate Soul Power, they still have a chance to rise up.

But me? Becoming a soul beast would have been bad enough, yet I had to become the most useless, lowest-ranking Blue Silver Grass?

Tang Wulin from Douluo 3 had spent his entire life proving that even the Blue Silver Emperor, the emperor among Blue Silver Grass, was still trash.

Before truly powerful Soul Masters, the Blue Silver Emperor's control abilities were completely useless.

As a plant-type soul beast at the very bottom of the food chain, even some grass-eating rabbit could chew him up as an afternoon snack.

This hell-level starting point was simply too difficult.

Lan Lingcang was so disheartened that he did not even feel like considering which point in Douluo Continent's timeline he was currently in.

But just then, a "ding" sounded in his mind. He immediately grew excited—the system had arrived.

[Ding. A transmigrator from Blue Star has been detected. The system is initializing...] [Golden Spatula Hextech System binding successful.]

Hearing that somewhat familiar name, Lan Lingcang froze for a moment before wild joy surged through his heart.

Golden Spatula?

Hextech?

Wasn't that the game he had often played in his previous life?!

Suppressing his excitement, Lan Lingcang hurriedly muttered in his heart, "System, you've come at just the right time. Quickly tell me what functions you have!"

[Ding. In response to the host, this system will periodically provide Hextech options.] [Each time, the system will provide five different Hextech options. You may freely choose three of them.] [The system will refresh its options once per year. You may make one selection each year, for a total of ten years.]

"Only ten choices?" he muttered, seemingly finding that somewhat too few.

But he quickly came around. Three choices a year, ten rounds of choices—this meant a full thirty Hextech augments stacked on him.

That number was actually not small at all.

After all, in the original game, one match allowed players to choose at most three Hextech augments.

Moreover, the effects of Golden Spatula's Hextech augments were all kinds of strange and varied.

Setting aside the trash options and filler junk, as long as his luck was not too terrible, these thirty Hextech augments would definitely be enough.

[Ding. The five Hextech options for this selection will now be displayed. Please make your choice, host.] [1: Demon Contract: Sacrifice your lifespan to obtain cultivation, but you can no longer gain Soul Power cultivation through meditation.] [2: Golden Egg: Provides a Golden Egg that requires 11 years to hatch. Once opened, it grants generous rewards. Each time you kill a Title Douluo or a soul beast over 100,000 years old, the hatching time will be reduced by one year.] [3: Living Forge: Immediately gain 1 Artifact Anvil, and gain another every 8 years thereafter.] [4: Nine Lives: You will gain nine lives. Each time you lose a life, you will receive rewards of varying value.] [5: Hedge Fund: Gain three million Gold Soul Coins. Thereafter, gain five hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins plus interest every year. Interest is one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins per year, stacking for up to ten years.]

Upon seeing the detailed descriptions of these five Hextech augments, Lan Lingcang could no longer hold himself back. His heart blossomed with joy.

A Prismatic start!

This was absolutely a ridiculously lucky high-roll start!

Moreover, these five Hextech augments had clearly been adjusted somewhat according to Douluo's cultivation system.

Lan Lingcang began examining them.

First, he directly ruled out the fifth option, Hedge Fund. If this were a cultivation world, it would be equivalent to receiving three million spirit stones at once, which would still be somewhat useful.

After all, spirit stones could not only be used to buy magic treasures and other items, but could also be used for cultivation.

But in the world of Douluo?

As long as he had enough Gold Soul Coins, that was enough. Having more would be useless.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was a typical example. They had plenty of money, but that was all they had. There were almost no high-quality Soul Bones within the sect.

Among the Title Douluo of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Title Douluo were the weakest. It was highly possible that neither of them even possessed a single Soul Bone.

Even when the Sword and Bone Douluo died in the end, it was never mentioned that they possessed any Soul Bones.

And at first glance, the one that truly caught Lan Lingcang's attention was the first option, [Demon Contract].

Sacrificing his lifespan could be used to increase his cultivation?

If he were a Soul Master, this Hextech augment would be pure trash—useful only early on, with no late-game potential.

In the Golden Spatula game, only gamblers would choose it.

But he was a soul beast now!

Although Douluo Continent was widely mocked by netizens as the gutter of fantasy, the soul beasts here had one bug.

That was lifespan!
