In Douluo, Wallace's Selected Hextech

Outside Heaven Dou City. Pheasant Village.

Su Mu forced down his grief and tossed the sprouted potato into the fryer.

He listened to the sizzling of pork lard that had been left sitting a little too long in the pan.

He closed his eyes in anguish.

"Is this the last meal I'll eat here?"

"Aren't transmigrators supposed to be extraordinary? Why am I such trash?"

Su Mu recalled everything that had happened over the past few years.

Three years ago, he had still had a happy, comfortably well-off family.

His father had been a famous hunter in the village, always bringing back plenty of Soft Bone Rabbits from the mountains.

Thinking about it now, was this karma for loving spicy stir-fried rabbit heads?

Those miserable days had begun three years ago as well.

The little girl next door, whom his father had always said would become his child bride,

awakened Innate Full Soul Power, and her Martial Soul was even a Soft Bone Rabbit.

His father had immediately decided to send her to study in Heaven Dou City, spending no small number of Gold Soul Coins.

The enormous wealth in his hands naturally made people from the surrounding villages jealous.

In the end, seemingly because of that, his father never returned after entering the mountains.

All he left behind was a brand-new hunting bow and more than ten Gold Soul Coins.

Now, three years had passed, and Su Mu was already six years old. Tomorrow, he would awaken his Martial Soul.

If he failed to awaken a good Martial Soul, he would probably be finished. He could only go to Heaven Dou City and become a male model.

Hopefully, the people he met then would all be young, beautiful, and considerate big sisters.

But before he could put the fries into his mouth to ease his hunger,

just as he scooped up the golden fries, he heard a crisp mechanical notification.

"Meet in another world, savor delicious food!"

"Wallace's Selected Hextech is at your service!"

The chopsticks in Su Mu's hand loosened, falling into the fryer.

(Were sprouted potatoes really this powerful? I hadn't even eaten one, and I was already hallucinating.)

But soon, Su Mu let out a monkey-like shriek and dropped to his knees before the stove!

He braced both hands in front of himself, striking the pose of Sixth Brother's redemption.

"The system finally came!"

"This one's in the bag! You little runt, you've brought death upon yourself!"

"The function of this system is as follows: as long as you sell Wallace's selected items processed and made by this system,"

"you can collect the Gold Soul Coins earned and use them for Hextech draws. Gold Soul Coins can also upgrade the system's Hextech and unlock more functions."

The system's words interrupted Su Mu's cheers.

"No, brother, I'm broke right now, and you're telling me to sell products made by you?"

"I can only afford to eat sprouted potatoes. Where am I supposed to get money for ingredients?"

"If I had money to buy ingredients, would I be this down-and-out?"

"Aren't you just messing with me?"

Hearing Su Mu's indignant complaints, the not-too-intelligent system seemed to crash for a moment.

Then, a pale red gift pack popped up.

"Detected that the host's survival conditions are worrying."

"Current living environment: F-rank—on the verge of death."

"Before transmigrating, all you did was scroll on your phone and giggle stupidly. You're still a rookie."

"Take it. If I don't give it to you, I'm afraid you'll die."

"The system gift pack has triggered the highest-tier Prismatic Hextech: choose four out of seven!"

A line of large words appeared on the system interface.

Su Mu stared at the system and began studying it.

At present, it seemed that the system only required Gold Soul Coins to purchase ingredients for fried chicken and burgers.

Then, he merely needed to sell them to earn Gold Soul Coins.

It looked like an endlessly profitable business.

But he did not have much money on him. Ten Gold Soul Coins, and he still had to awaken his Martial Soul tomorrow.

Without this Hextech selection opportunity gifted by the system, it would probably take him quite a while to save enough money to set up a fried chicken stall.

This free reward selection was effectively his startup capital.

Su Mu's gaze locked onto the Hextech selection.

Several different types of Hextech appeared before his eyes.

"Silver Hextech, choose one out of one?"

"Wasn't I supposed to have the right to choose?" Su Mu complained.

"Golden Hextech, choose three out of five, and Prismatic Hextech, choose four out of seven."

"Prismatic is already the highest tier. Each Prismatic selection requires selling 6,800 Gold Soul Coins' worth of goods."

"Choosing three out of five Golden Hextech requires selling 1,600 Gold Soul Coins' worth, while choosing one out of one Silver Hextech requires 600 Gold Soul Coins."

Su Mu shook his head. "This is no longer merely expensive. This is an astronomical price!"

The Silver Hextech and Golden Hextech sections both displayed zeroes.

Only Prismatic Hextech was lit up, indicating that he had one selection opportunity.

Seeing this, Su Mu no longer hesitated.

After all, free things were the best, especially when they were top-tier.

"System, I'll reluctantly refrain from cursing you for two days. I'll curse you the day after tomorrow."

"The system is so nice, giving out rewards for free."

As Su Mu spoke, he rubbed his hands together and tapped it. Streams of information popped up on the system interface.

A corresponding voice rang out in Su Mu's mind.

[Prismatic Hextech, choose four out of seven. The Hextech options drawn are guaranteed to be Prismatic-tier. Quality assured.]

[1: Studying Abroad! Immediately gain one Martial Soul slot, and the awakened Martial Soul will possess two Ultimate Attributes.]

[2: I Am Rakshasa! When releasing your Martial Soul, there is a 100% chance to turn it into a healing type. Each healing action deducts 1% of the enemy's total health.]

[3: Mainstream Recruitment! Immediately gain three pink-haired shop assistants, at levels 30, 60, and 90 respectively. The shop assistants possess independent consciousness but obey the manager's orders unconditionally.]

[4: Gunpowder Smell! Gain an indestructible baseball bat that can smash through anything!]

[5: Hidden Hand! When health reaches zero, you may choose to immediately restore 100% health!]

[6: Passive Income! Each time your level rises, there is a 10% chance of gaining an additional level!]

[7: Holiday Gift Box! Randomly obtain a whole bunch of rewards.]

Su Mu looked over the options and basically made up his mind in an instant.

The first choice was beyond question. Picking it would strengthen his foundation.

The limits and combat strength at the same level between someone with Twin Martial Souls and someone with only one Martial Soul were worlds apart.

After all, having one more Martial Soul was equivalent to having another reserve of Soul Power,

and choosing the first option would also grant each of his awakened Martial Souls an Ultimate Attribute.

If both Martial Souls he awakened were dragon-type Martial Souls or beast Martial Souls, then with Ultimate Attributes, he could basically be considered invincible among those of the same rank.

Moreover, Twin Martial Souls could make up for the slow cultivation speed of Ultimate Attributes in the middle stages.

Once he reached level sixty or seventy and his cultivation speed slowed, he could directly equip his second Martial Soul with Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, forcibly raising his Soul Power level to Titled Douluo or even higher.

He would directly break through the bottleneck of slow mid-stage cultivation and quickly reach the late-stage adaptation and qualitative transformation periods.

As for the third option, Mainstream Recruitment, his eyes settled on the small line at the very end.

The summoned assistants would be level 30, level 60, and level 90 respectively: a three-ring Soul Elder, a six-ring Soul Emperor, and a nine-ring Titled Douluo.

How was that any different from having protectors? And it summoned three at once—only an idiot would not choose it.

"But why does this feel like it has a catch?"

Su Mu looked back and forth, somewhat hesitant.

Putting the words pink-haired and mainstream together gave him an ominous feeling.

But none of the other rewards seemed as good as this one.

The next options worth considering were Hidden Hand and Passive Income.

Hidden Hand would give him one extra life, meaning he would basically not have to fear being killed in the early stages.

Passive Income, meanwhile, could further speed up his cultivation.

Although Holiday Gift Box and Gunpowder Smell looked like decent choices, they were actually complete traps. Whoever picked them would know.

Randomly obtaining a whole bunch of rewards? Ten Gold Soul Coins was also a whole bunch, wasn't it?

"This one is directly eliminated!"

Why did the I Am Rakshasa option feel somewhat geared toward an entertainment mode?

Every attack dealt damage equal to 1% of the opponent's maximum health. In theory, one hundred hits could kill anyone.

But would a Titled Douluo really stand there and let you hit them a hundred times?

Seeing this, Su Mu no longer hesitated. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway.

"1, 3, 5, and 6. I'm taking them!"

As Su Mu made his selections and confirmed them,

the system notification sounded once more.

"Detected that the host has completed the Prismatic Hextech selection of four out of seven. Rewards will now be distributed. Please check them."

"Reward one has been distributed. Please check it."

The system notification continued to sound.

But Su Mu did not feel any changes to his body. It seemed he would only be able to confirm it after awakening his Martial Soul.

Then came the second notification.

"Reward two has been distributed!"

"The currently randomly summoned Wallace shop assistants are:

Level 30 Remiel Dan!

Level 60 Elysia!

Level 90 Cyrene & Demiurge!"

In an instant, Su Mu's consciousness entered a pure white space.

Pink petals drifted down from the sky, falling into a tranquil white lake.

A clear voice rose alongside piano music.

"One day, she fell from the heavens~ People raised their heads to look, and thus they saw the sky..."

The moment the petals touched the lake, ripples spread across a lush green lawn. The fragrance of wildly growing flowers entered Su Mu's nose.

Suddenly, a winged figure took Su Mu's hand and flew with him toward the hill above.
