Wuyi All-Purpose House

Heaven Soul Empire, Crimson Leap City.

A steady drizzle fell, soaking every corner of the city. Pedestrians hurried along the streets, bustling about for their own purposes.

In a deep alley beside a main road, a small shop called "Wuyi All-Purpose House" was open for business, warm light spilling onto the ground before its door.

"So boring..."

"With weather like this, no one's coming no matter how you look at it, right?"

Inside the little shop, a sixteen-year-old boy lay sprawled over the front counter, staring listlessly at the torrential rain outside.

The boy had pure silver hair like the distant horizon where sea met sky, sharp brows and bright eyes. His mismatched pupils were startling: his left eye was a deep, shadowy blue, while his right was a soul-capturing red.

The boy's name was Yu Wuyi, derived from the idea that fish had no memory after seven seconds.

He had possessed no special identity in his previous life, merely an ordinary person living an ordinary life. Yet while saving a child, he had been hit by a massive truck and turned into red slime splattered all over the ground.

"Thinking back on it now, wasn't that truck doing it on purpose? What kind of truck could turn someone into a puddle in one hit?"

As Yu Wuyi recalled the scene, the more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed!

Even in a car accident, at most someone would be smashed into a ragdoll, right? But he had turned directly into a puddle—a whole puddle, spread all over the ground!

Still, those were only a few stray thoughts in his heart. Since he had already come to this world, he just needed to live well in the present.

At that thought, an inexplicable resentment rose within Yu Wuyi.

Perhaps because the heavens had seen fit to reward him for saving someone, he too possessed the standard system of a transmigrator: the "Commission System."

The Commission System's function was simple. It randomly drew characters from the myriad worlds, and Yu Wuyi needed to play the role of the character he drew in order to complete customers' commissions.

The beginner's gift pack contained one draw opportunity, a two-hundred-square-meter shop, and one character customization opportunity.

What was a character customization opportunity, you asked?

Then take a guess at where Yu Wuyi's appearance came from.

That's right. This character customization opportunity allowed him to create his own body after reincarnation, though the age was fixed at sixteen!

His height was limited to between 160 and 180 centimeters, his gender was freely selectable, and every imaginable detail could be customized. It could be called a perfect creative environment.

Why did he make himself look like this, you asked?

Come on, who could refuse silver hair and mismatched eyes?

You're saying you could refuse?

Really? Really? You would really reject such a cute, handsome little brother with silver hair and mismatched eyes?

Hm? Why a little brother? Who said silver hair and mismatched eyes were a privilege exclusive to girls?

Come on, Yu Wuyi had been a man in his previous life. How perverted would a man have to be to want to become a woman?~

And so, a cute and handsome 165-centimeter silver-haired little brother was born!

If I had known back then that I was customizing my own body, I would never have chosen 165 just to match the style, even if it killed meee!!

Yu Wuyi regretted that for quite a while.

Then there was this little shop. Since he was too lazy to think of a name, Yu Wuyi simply called it Wuyi All-Purpose House.

It was located beside a main road near Crimson Leap City's eastern gate. However, because it was tucked away in a deep alley, almost no one came here. Not many people even knew that a new little shop had opened here.

At that thought, a nameless fire rose within Yu Wuyi.

"System, did you pick such a remote location for the all-purpose house because you were afraid customers might actually come by?!"

Unfortunately, his Commission System did not have anything as user-friendly as a voice. It only gave certain prompts when he used its functions.

Thinking of that, Yu Wuyi's anger was like a punch landing on cotton, and naturally dissipated.

After all, he had been in this world for nearly a month without gaining a single customer. Though some people had noticed the shop, they only took one look before leaving. They had probably mistaken it for a shady business after seeing it open in such a hidden location.

"Poor me~"

Yu Wuyi shook his head helplessly, casually took a can of red cola from the wine rack behind him, and skillfully popped it open with one hand.

This was an included feature of the all-purpose house. The items on the wine rack were unlimited; once taken, they would replenish, and he could freely customize the items.

"Woohoo~ But this unlimited cola definitely gets full marks!"

He took a big gulp and praised it in satisfaction, a few bubbles still lingering at the corner of his mouth.

"Personal Attributes."

With a silent thought, a panel visible only to him appeared before him.

Name: Yu Wuyi

Gender: Male

Height: 165

Martial Soul: ???

Cultivation: Level 10

Soul Rings: None

Character Card: Firefly · Sam

Getting Molten Knight Sam on his very first draw could only be called an outrageous burst of luck, right?

But why could he only role-play during commissions?!

Yu Wuyi cursed this damned mechanic endlessly in his heart. He had drawn such a powerful character, yet he could only stare at it helplessly. Who could stand that?!

The All-Purpose House was even located in a place so remote that not even rats could be seen. He had no idea what the system had been thinking.

It was not like he had never considered going out to solicit customers himself, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

There was no other reason—his face was simply far too rare in Douluo, and it would surely stir the hearts of many people.

Especially human traffickers'.

Although the system had thoughtfully given him a mechanic that ensured he would not be harmed inside the All-Purpose House, once he stepped outside, he was merely a little soul master with level 10 soul power. If he went out, the odds were heavily stacked against him.

"When will a commission finally come..."

Yu Wuyi slumped weakly over the front desk.

Tap... tap-tap... tap-tap-tap!

Hm?

Yu Wuyi sat up sharply. Heavy rain still poured outside, but he could hear footsteps approaching from afar, carrying a sense of urgent haste.

Was a customer coming?

No, the name of his All-Purpose House had not even spread yet. There was no way someone had come specifically looking for him.

Then it could only be that sort of development—someone fleeing from pursuit, perhaps.

Sure enough, the footsteps stopped in front of the All-Purpose House, as if their owner were wondering when a shop had appeared here.

But after only a brief hesitation, the footsteps rang out again, this time heading straight toward the All-Purpose House.

Ding-ling~

As the pleasant doorbell chimed, the owner of the footsteps finally pushed open the door and entered.

Yu Wuyi got a clear look at her as well.

She was a little girl of around ten, with light blond hair and fairly delicate features. She wore ragged coarse clothes, and her bare feet were covered in mud.

Was this... an auction item?

He sharply noticed the marks on her wrists. They had clearly been rubbed raw by prolonged wear of handcuffs. She had probably escaped from some black-market auction house by some means.

"Welcome to Wuyi All-Purpose House. How may I help you?"

Yu Wuyi revealed his signature smile and asked gently.

No matter what, a visitor was a customer. Whoever they were, as long as they could pay the price, their request was worth hearing.

The little girl seemed unable to care about anything else. She rushed straight to the front desk and said in an almost pleading tone:

"Can I hide here for a while? Please don't tell anyone I'm here!"

It's here, it's here! The commission I've been waiting for!

Yu Wuyi was already overjoyed inside. After enduring an entire month, things were finally looking up.

Yet on the surface, he remained composed and smiling as he slowly said:

"May I ask if you would like to submit a commission?"
