Single Pulling Gold and Not Exploding

Chen An looked at the roulette that appeared out of thin air before him.

--Please draw your initial settings.

The surroundings were a blank world. He spent several minutes confirming that he was not dreaming and that the roulette in front of him was real.

He was originally browsing videos. His hand slipped, his phone smashed into his face, and when he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated here.

With no choice, he could only start reading the instructions for this roulette.

Douluo Roulette

1: All drawn contents and probabilities are completely random.

2: The roulette's contents will gradually change based on [your] situation.

3: Unknown special events will occasionally appear on the roulette.

4: After completing the initial settings, draw chances can be obtained again every 5 ranks of soul power gained.

His entire initial settings, background, and martial soul were all to be decided by the roulette.

Chen An's heart sank--what kind of plot development was this?

Shouldn't it be an orphan starting out, awakening a martial soul, getting a cheat to breeze all the way through, occasionally flirting with girls, and finally becoming a god at ease and unrestrained?

Starting as trash and getting his engagement annulled would be fine too, at least it was a classic script.

Besides, what was the special event written in the third rule?

It felt like a trap. Vague things like this were bound to produce who knows what.

Chen An tentatively sized up the roulette in front of him. Its style was very crude, with colored sections written with settings and a button in the center.

The very first draw on the roulette was the timeline.

From Douluo 1 to Douluo 5, these five sections each took up 20%.

Regarding the Douluo series, Chen An had watched parts of it. He didn't fully understand the characters inside, but he wasn't completely clueless either.

The timeline of each world wasn't as perilous as Silent Hill, so he decisively reached out and pressed the button in the center of the roulette.

The sections began to spin, continuously sweeping past the pointer, before finally stopping at the Legend of the Dragon King era.

"Douluo 3... not bad."

Chen An sorted out his thoughts.

"I remember the continent was unified during this period, and the difficulty is already very low. If I had been born earlier, being an ordinary Soul Master would let me live a good day, but Tang San's ten-thousand-year grand plan and the abyss invasion later on are truly fatal. It's hard to survive if you haven't grown up."

As his thoughts fell, the contents of the roulette had already quietly refreshed.

Next item: Initial identity.

Humans and soul beasts each accounted for a 40% chance, with soul beast incarnation taking up 20%.

Chen An stared at that narrow strip of the incarnation zone, not daring to make a move for a long time.

In Douluo 3, the number of land soul beasts was already close to extinction. Although they weren't preyed upon by their own kind or hunted wantonly by human Soul Masters like in ancient times, it was definitely not safe either.

And even if he became a human, it depended on luck.

He played games, bought lottery tickets, and even bet in school that the teacher wouldn't check homework, and he never had any luck. Pressing this down would probably make him regret it to death.

Yet if he didn't choose, he would be trapped in this blank world forever.

Chen An mustered up his courage with the thought that he might get a good background.

The roulette began to spin, the three types of sections continually sweeping past the red pointer.

After dozens of revolutions, the speed slowed down.

Chen An's gaze remained fixed on the human section, his mouth whispering under his breath.

"Human, human, human, human..."

He had never wished so hard for his luck to be good.

The pointer entered the soul beast section, but it was still moving slowly. There was hope.

A few seconds later, the pointer stopped. The dividing line between the two sections on the roulette began to shrink, resting on the section right between human and beast--soul beast incarnation.

Even if the starting point wasn't human, this wasn't much different from a human.

Besides, the starting point of an incarnation was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, so the foundation should not be too bad.

The third roulette drew gender.

"No way, even this has to be drawn?"

On the roulette, male and female accounted for 45%, and genderless accounted for 10%. This was even more nerve-wracking than looking at exam results.

Chen An had just managed to keep his human form, and in the blink of an eye, he might lose his dignity. He could only close his eyes and press down.

A few seconds later, Chen An hadn't lost his little brother carelessly. He instinctively wiped his forehead and let out a relaxed sigh of relief.

Fourth spin, drawing the soul beast bloodline type retained after transforming into a human.

This time the roulette sections were extremely dense, numbering in the hundreds, representing general categories of direction.

Chen An didn't care much. Since he could already transform into a human form, he didn't look closely and casually pressed down.

The pointer stopped. The drawn section expanded, magnified, and squeezed out the other contents, with the entire roulette displaying the result.

It was marine fish.

Entering the bloodline determination pool, the roulette refreshed, and more detailed classifications appeared.

The darker the color, the lower the probability.

Deep Sea Demon Whale King 0.1%

Mermaid 0.5%

Tyrannosaurus Rex (Marine Subspecies) 0.9%

Mysterious Blue Creature (Doria) 1%

Milk Dragon (Mixed-blood Dragon Species) 1%...

There were even filler sections like "A fish by the roadside."

Chen An frowned. This time he didn't rush to press, instinctively looking at the lowest-probability and also strongest sections.

As a transmigrator, other people had all sorts of systems, yet he had to rely on his face.

He still harbored a shred of wishful thinking in his heart.

"Bloodline is useful too, just in case—I mean, just in case."

Chen An paused in front of the button. After steeling his psychological preparation, he pressed it down.

Not asking to be the strongest—

Even an ordinary whale would do—

A mermaid was fine too—

The pointer pointed to a special bloodline: Carp 0.01% (Special Dragon Species).

Chen An hadn't noticed this before pulling.

"Isn't a carp a freshwater fish? Why is it in the marine category, and a special dragon species at that? The probability is even lower than the Demon Whale King. Can it get any more absurd than this?"

As soon as he finished complaining, Chen An suddenly recalled a story he had heard in his childhood, the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

Traveling upstream along the Yellow River, it transforms into a dragon.

If that was the case, it made sense. The Douluo world had everything, so it wasn't strange.

If he could truly transform into a dragon, then this bloodline had a minimum guarantee.

Just as he was pondering, the roulette refreshed once more.

The most important part had arrived, the martial soul type.

Since the previous identity setting was a soul beast incarnation, the martial soul would be related to his original body.

The roulette refreshed, and all the partitions shrank, converged, and ultimately left only a single result: Verdant Crimson Fish Scales.

Martial Soul Trait: Harmonizes with water, gives birth to fire.

Chen An furrowed his brow: "Fire-immune and water-immune as well, huh? Sounds more reliable than Bluesilver Grass."

Entering the initial soul power setting.

Originally it was a 1--10 rank section, but affected by the soul beast incarnation bloodline, the 1--9 rank sections were erased, leaving rank 10 as the baseline.

--Please select your initial location.

Another multiple-choice question. Chen An scanned the sections, where familiar city-states were present alongside obscure little cities.

The biggest problem was that he had transformed into a human, but his essence was still a soul beast. Landing in a city full of Soul Masters was no different from walking right into a trap.

No matter what, a soul beast forest was safer than Soul Masters.

He reached out and tapped: Star Dou Great Forest.

The final initial setting--name.

This was the only section that required manual input from himself.

"Let's just call it Chen An. I'm not used to anything else."

After inputting it, the section flowed like water into the pointer beneath the center of the roulette.

--Initial settings complete--

Identity: Hundred-thousand-year soul beast incarnation

Bloodline: Carp (Special Dragon Species)

Martial Soul: Verdant Crimson Fish Scales

Soul Power: Rank 10

Location: Star Dou Great Forest

--Entering the world--

--Loading successful--

Amidst blurred consciousness, Chen An heard the rustle of leaves and the low whisper of a stream. A heavy fatigue welled up, forcing him to close his eyes.

I do not know how long had passed, but Chen An felt his body return.

Opening his eyes, dense tree branches and leaves came into view, and the aura of the Star Dou Great Forest rushed over him.

He lowered his head—short, youthful, exactly the appearance of just having transformed into human form, with crude clothing hanging on his body.

Slightly moving his body, he could clearly sense soul power flowing between his blood vessels like countless warm streams.

Really transmigrated...

Chen An could not help laughing out loud.

With anticipation, he opened his eyes and looked up.

The smile suddenly froze.

A majestic face was looking down at him.

Dark robes, black hair and golden eyes, mature in appearance, yet the sense of oppression cast by those golden pupils was almost suffocating.

It was Di Tian.
