"Beep—"
"Beep—beep—"
"BEEEEEP!!!"
Two suns blazed down on Lin Jing's face, their glare so bright he couldn't open his eyes.
The blaring horn of a heavy truck sounded beside him, unrelenting.
Lin Jing struggled to open his eyes, trying to make out the truck's license plate.
What if he got another shot at life?
He'd definitely report that truck!
However,
Lin Jing did see the license plate, but he couldn't make out the number on it,
because... it was covered in a thick layer of dust,
making it impossible to see!
"Why!"
The three words echoed in Lin Jing's ears.
They were filled with indignation.
He'd grown up in an orphanage, with no parents, no family, no friends.
Today, he'd finally found a job with decent pay.
He'd been so excited that he couldn't fall asleep, even after lying in bed.
He'd just wanted to grab a late-night snack to celebrate.
Who could've guessed
that the moment he hopped on his beloved little scooter, a heavy truck going too fast
would lose control and slam right into him?
Especially those two mini suns on the truck—
it was as if Black and White Impermanence were waving at Lin Jing.
In an endless expanse of darkness, Lin Jing's body was the only source of light.
A faint white glow radiated from him.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host. ] [ You have fulfilled the prerequisite for binding to this system: ] [ You challenged a heavy truck one-on-one and succeeded! ]
Lin Jing's consciousness slowly came to.
"Is this... the underworld?"
He murmured after taking in his surroundings.
[ Ding! ] [ This is the system space of this system, not the underworld. ]
An electronic voice brimming with emotion rang out in Lin Jing's mind.
"A system?"
Lin Jing rubbed his temples. "I'm not dreaming, am I?"
[ No, Host. ] [ On that blue planet, you faced a heavy truck all by yourself. ] [ After 7,869 rounds of combat, you lost by a hair to the truck. ]
Lin Jing: "..."
After that brief pause, he'd remembered everything that happened on Blue Star.
What was all this nonsense about fighting a heavy truck for 7,869 rounds and losing by a hair?
It was obviously a nine-to-one matchup.
The truck took one second; he broke into nine pieces.
"System-chan, you say this is your system space. What kind of system are you?"
"Are you a tycoon system, or one that gives you luxury cars and mansions just for checking in?"
A foolish grin spread across Lin Jing's face.
[ Ding! ] [ This system is called: ] [ The Ultimate, Invincible, Super Duper Thunder Roulette Lottery System! ]
Lin Jing stared, dumbfounded, at the long string of words that appeared before him.
"Fine, fine. Thunder System."
Lin Jing raised a finger and poked at it twice at random.
"Where am I heading next? Which otherworld?"
The page didn't react. Lin Jing lowered his hand and simply asked aloud.
[ Ding! ] [ It seems the Host can hardly wait to begin a new life~ ] [ Let's start your first roulette spin! ]
The moment the Thunder System's mechanical voice fell silent,
a roulette wheel several times taller than Lin Jing dropped down from above.
At the top of the wheel,
four bold characters came into view: "Travel to Another World."
The wheel wasn't decorated with any flashy frills. It was plain and simple, with nothing but rewards and indicators.
"Do I have to spin for this too?"
Lin Jing looked at the wheel.
Its red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple sections were arranged in neat rows,
each one bearing the name of a fictional world Lin Jing knew.
But he wasn't excited at all,
because...
just look at what kind of hellish worlds were on that wheel!
Mysterious Revival, The Dead Scripture, Lord of the Mysteries, A World Worth Protecting, Dao of the Bizarre Immortal, Great Love Immortal Venerable.
After seeing a few of the worlds on the wheel, Lin Jing was so agitated he nearly restarted his life for a third time.
"Can't you switch them out?"
Lin Jing raised his hand in protest, feeling hopeless.
[Host, this isn't a karaoke club.]
The Thunder System's voice sounded a little put-upon.
These were all worlds it had carefully selected, every one of them a masterpiece!
And this Host didn't know what was good for him!
"It's fine, it's fine."
Lin Jing took a deep breath and slowly patted his chest.
"There are still Battle Through the Heavens and Douluo Continent."
He'd been unlucky his whole life. It was time for his luck to turn.
"Spin it, System-chan."
Lin Jing closed his eyes. His voice sounded calm as still water, but in truth, he had no other choice.
[You got it!]
At the Thunder System's command,
the enormous roulette wheel began spinning rapidly.
About three seconds later, it started to slow down.
Lin Jing could clearly see which section the indicator was pointing to.
At that moment, it pointed to the red section: the world of Mysterious Revival.
But the wheel kept turning, and the indicator slowly moved to Lord of the Mysteries.
Once it reached Lord of the Mysteries, the wheel was spinning so slowly it was barely moving.
It looked like it was about to stop any moment.
"Keep spinning! Keep spinning!"
Lin Jing shouted anxiously.
He tried to throw the wheel off with his voice and make it keep turning.
Douluo Continent was right next to Lord of the Mysteries.
It just had to turn a little farther. Just a little.
Lin Jing clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly.
The wheel didn't let him down.
It turned slowly,
and only stopped once it had barely reached the blue section representing Douluo Continent.
"Douluo Continent."
A mechanical voice devoid of emotion came from inside the wheel.
It sounded nothing like the system. The system's voice had a soul.
"Defy fate and change my lot!"
This time, Lin Jing was genuinely thrilled. He was so excited that he jumped right up.
After calming down, Lin Jing asked the system, a little puzzled,
"System-chan, when are we leaving?"
[ Ding! ] [ You can set off once you've spun the next few roulettes. ]
"There are more roulettes?"
Lin Jing froze, then said with eager anticipation, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"
After that thrilling spin, Lin Jing had fallen deeply in love with the feeling.
[You got it!]
The Thunder System answered.
The contents of the wheel before him changed in an instant.
The original words "Travel to Another World" changed to "Time Period."
Lin Jing took a closer look. The sections read:
Tang San at age six, 100 years before Tang San's birth, 200 years before Tang San's birth, the Tang Hao era, the Tang Chen era, the First Generation Sea God and Angel God era...
There were many more options on this wheel, and as a result, the colored sections were much narrower.
Each section had shrunk from a palm's width to a finger's width.
There was one exception: Tang San at age six. It took up the largest area, occupying almost half the wheel.
"Spin!"
The wheel didn't include a period after Tang San became a god. That was excellent news for Lin Jing.
With the Thunder System on his side, he was confident he could dominate any era!
The wheel began spinning at astonishing speed.
Under Lin Jing's watchful gaze, it gradually slowed.
Finally,
it stopped on the green section representing Tang San at age six.
"Tang San at age six."
Once again, that familiar, emotionless, cold mechanical voice came from inside the wheel.
