"Hurry, hurry, hurry, System."

"Don't dawdle, get on with the next one!"

Lin Jing's attitude toward this roulette wheel during his transmigration was essentially one of Zen-like indifference.

The era?

It didn't matter.

I, Lin Jing, can become a god in any era!

Not for any other reason, but because I have a system!

I am the protagonist!

So, when he drew the era of Tang San at age six, he didn't have much of an emotional fluctuation.

[Yes, yes, yes.]

The Thunder System's voice sounded somewhat speechless.

How was this host even more impatient than the system itself?

The roulette wheel in front of Lin Jing changed its appearance once again.

The four characters for "Transmigration Era" transformed into the two characters for "Race."

The content of the race roulette was simple, with only two options: Human and Spirit Beast.

Each occupied half.

Lin Jing's heart lifted slightly.

This wheel was looking a bit ominous.

He had drawn the era of Tang San at age six; if he transmigrated as a Spirit Beast, he feared he wouldn't be able to become a god before Tang San.

Once the "Tang Buddha" became a god, there would be no chance for him to get ahead.

But then he thought about it.

He had a system. If he played it safe, the Tang Buddha might not even notice him.

"Spin!"

At Lin Jing's command, the wheel began to rotate.

Three seconds passed in a flash.

The wheel stopped steadily on "Human."

"Hu..."

The mechanical voice from the wheel had just managed to utter one syllable before it came to an abrupt halt.

Because Lin Jing had already commanded the Thunder System to switch to the next wheel page.

"Gen... Gender?!"

Lin Jing's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief:

"System, are you kidding me? I'm a man, damn it!"

"And what the hell are these 'intersex' and 'asexual' options!!!"

[Ding!]

[Host, please do not be angry. This is a default setting that came with my activation; I cannot change it.]

[Grievance.jpg]

Lin Jing's forehead was covered in black lines as he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word:

"Spin!"

The "Gender" wheel had four sections.

Male accounted for forty-five percent, and female for forty-five percent.

The remaining ten percent was occupied by intersex and asexual.

The "creak, creak" sound of the wheel spinning echoed. Lin Jing held his breath, staring at it without blinking.

The speed of the wheel gradually slowed down.

It stopped at the boundary between female...

And male.

Just as Lin Jing was wondering what to do, the wheel emitted another "creak" sound.

It rotated a little further, and the indicator moved completely into the male section.

Lin Jing let out a long sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he had kept his "equipment"; he had almost been about to gain a "cave."

"Continue!"

The look of madness on Lin Jing's face grew more intense, bordering on manic.

This time, the wheel's mechanical voice didn't make a sound before the page had already changed.

This wheel was for—"Appearance."

Lin Jing cared quite a bit about this.

He wasn't someone who only cared about cultivation and had no desires.

He was rather particular about his looks; he had to at least be able to stand the sight of himself.

In his past life,

He was a handsome, dashing, and suave peerless beauty.

He was the type that made flowers bloom upon seeing him, from seventy-year-old grandmothers to three-year-old girls.

Everyone who saw him had to take a second look.

The content on the wheel was no longer text, but had been converted into uppercase English letters.

They were: "S, A, B, C, D, E."

Six options.

Among them, S had the smallest share, only the size of half a finger, representing a peerless appearance, the kind that could mesmerize thousands of young girls.

The share for "A" was larger, but still only the size of two fingers, representing top-tier handsomeness/beauty.

The share for "B" was much larger, several times that of "A," representing a 7/10 handsome guy/beauty.

The "C" grade, being plain and unremarkable, had an even larger share.

Further down,

The shares for "D" and "E" began to shrink, representing slightly ugly and unbearable to look at, respectively.

"Spin!"

Lin Jing stepped forward himself this time, grabbed the edge of the wheel, and gave it a forceful flick. The wheel spun wildly.

As long as it was "B" grade or higher, he could accept it.

If it were below "B," he would have to try acting cute and rolling on the floor in this space to see if it worked.

Perhaps because Lin Jing used a bit too much force, the wheel spun longer than the previous times.

After about five seconds, the wheel finally began to slow down.

As soon as he saw the position of the indicator, the corners of Lin Jing's mouth curled into an arc.

Because the indicator was pointing squarely at "C."

According to the pattern of the previous few times, the wheel would at least rotate to the next section.

And after "C" came "S," "A," and "B."

The current speed of the wheel made it impossible to reach the "E" grade after "B."

In other words, Lin Jing was guaranteed at least a "B" grade appearance.

He suddenly realized, if he drew an "S" grade, would the system give him plastic surgery?

He asked the system directly.

[No, Host.]

[Regardless of the grade of appearance you draw, it will only be adjusted in terms of facial features and physique; it will not directly change your appearance.]

Hearing the system's answer, Lin Jing felt relieved and continued to look at the wheel.

The wheel had stopped spinning, and the indicator was pointing at "A."

"Appearance A-grade, top-tier handsome/beautiful level."

This time, the wheel finally said what it hadn't had time to say the previous two times.

"Next!"

Lin Jing was in a great mood; he waved his hand and said heroically.

[Ding!]

[The host's starting roulette draws are complete. Given that this is the host's first time binding with this system, you are hereby rewarded with a Newbie Gift Pack!]

[The Newbie Gift Pack is a Special Opportunity Wheel draw, which will be unlocked after the host awakens their martial soul and obtains their first spirit ring.]

"Newbie Gift Pack!"

Lin Jing's eyes lit up; he had almost forgotten about this.

It was good that this Thunder System had a conscience.

After so many rounds of drawing, combined with this Newbie Gift Pack,

Lin Jing had roughly figured out the patterns of this Thunder System.

As for the specifics, he would have to ask after transmigrating to the Douluo Continent.

"Since we can't start directly, let's begin the transmigration."

Lin Jing waited for a while, and seeing no response from the system, he began to urge it.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the host missed one roulette draw; performing a make-up draw now.]

Lin Jing: ...

"This is a default setting that came with my activation; I cannot change it."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"Didn't you say you couldn't change it?"

"How did you manage to miss a roulette draw?"

"Or should I say, were you deliberately brushing me off just now?"

Lin Jing threw a series of questions at it, and the system fell silent.

But the wheel changed, transforming into "Your Age."

"Let me tell you, playing dead won't work. We see each other every day; do you intend to ignore me for the rest of your life?"

Lin Jing changed his tone, "As long as you compensate me with another Special Opportunity Wheel draw, I'll forgive you."

[Ding!]

[Detected a system vulnerability; the vulnerability has been fixed. You are hereby compensated with one Special Opportunity Wheel draw for the host.]

This time, the Thunder System reacted quickly; the notification sound rang out almost as soon as Lin Jing finished speaking.

"That's more like it. Spin."

[In this round of drawing, if the host draws age six, this system will begin the transmigration immediately.]

[For other age ranges, you will enter the next round of the "Level" draw pool for the final round of drawing.]
