Golden Finger

PS: The protagonist of this book is on the path to Immortality, the Sword Immortal path.

Books about attaining Godhood have been done to death.

So a Golden Finger is needed to combine the cultivation systems and cultural mindsets of Douluo and Blue Star. That requires lots of Immortal Cultivation techniques, classic texts, and items.

As for the origins of the Golden Finger, a reasonable explanation will be provided later. It hasn't just appeared out of nowhere without thought.

Why has it only appeared now? Because of the logical setup: it can only appear after obtaining a Soul Ring.

Rest assured, this book is still a Shuangshuang story with a rigorous theoretical style.

Extra! The female lead appears!

Since she is the female lead, she was drawn first. From now on, it'll only be techniques and items.

At this point in time, aside from Bo Saixi, there are no other women related to the original work.

On the way back, Chen Xiaojun sat cross-legged on the Seven Kill Sword when a crisp, pleasant voice with a hint of mechanical quality suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! The host has obtained his First Soul Ring. One lottery draw is now available!"

"???"

Since transmigrating, Chen Xiaojun had tried calling for his Golden Finger more than once or twice, but it had always been like throwing a stone into the sea. He had given up long ago.

"So I had to become a Soul Master first!"

"Big Brother Golden Finger! Eldest Master! Dear old dad!"

At that moment, Chen Xiaojun was overjoyed and excitedly called out in his mind.

He might not have eaten pork, but surely he'd seen a pig run. Transmigrators could communicate through their thoughts.

"Host, please don't keep calling me so enthusiastically!"

"...Then may I ask, what exactly are you? What can you do?"

"Lottery Machine!"

What a simple name...

"Of course, if you don't think it sounds good, feel free to change it. Something nice-sounding like Myriad Dharma Fortune Disc, or something simple like Golden Finger or Power-Up System works too. I'm not picky."

"..."

"Lottery Machine? What kind of machine is that? Then let's go with Power-Up System! So, what's the lottery?"

"Understood. The lottery grants the host opportunities to grow stronger. The host receives one draw for every Soul Ring he obtains."

"So I can only draw after getting a Soul Ring? That means only nine draws?"

"That's how the Fixed Rewards work."

"What about the Non-Fixed ones?"

"I don't know!"

Chen Xiaojun was exasperated. "Seriously, big shot? You're a Golden Finger! How can you not know?"

"I just don't know! Non-Fixed Reward conditions are unknown! The host must figure them out for himself! I can only tell the host that Non-Fixed Rewards are extremely difficult to get. You basically shouldn't even think about them."

"..." Chen Xiaojun was at a loss for words.

"Forget it. Is there a new-player gift pack?"

"No!"

"Are there any main quests?"

"No!"

"Is there some kind of exchange shop?"

"No!"

"Then what's your purpose?"

"To help the host reach the peak!"

"Then what do you have?"

"I provide cultivation techniques, classic texts, and treasures. What you draw depends on your own luck. How you use what you draw and how you grow stronger are entirely up to your own fate. The Master leads you through the door; your cultivation is up to you. All I can offer is assistance and opportunities. How high you can climb is up to you."

"..."

Chen Xiaojun felt as though he were dealing with an upstream manufacturer in his previous life, while he was merely a distributor. It provided the goods; how he sold them and whether he sold them well were his own concern.

"All right... How exactly do I draw?"

As soon as the thought came to him, a colossal, radiant Luo Pan appeared in his mind with a "whoosh." It seemed to be projected directly into his consciousness, so lifelike it was frightening.

The Luo Pan was divided into thirty-six neat sections, each engraved with ancient Seal Script: Technique, Method, Skill, Art, Land, Wealth, Companion, Contract, Pills, Talismans, Formations, Artifacts, Fate, Plants, Storage, Division, Field, Orders, Roles, Search, Beast Breathing... and so on.

The characters were ancient, but the image looked pretty cool. It didn't have the plasticky feel he'd expected.

"Whoa! So this is your approach... You're planning to do Immortal Cultivation in Douluo?"

"Yes!"

"Thirty-six kinds of rewards?"

"Yes! Each kind of reward can only be drawn once. Once a character is drawn, that category disappears."

"Only one chance for each kind?"

"Yes! Host, would you like to use your reward draw now?"

"Go ahead!"

A golden Iron Ball appeared on the big wheel and started turning slowly, then faster and faster. It spun without stopping: one second, two seconds, three seconds, ten seconds, thirty seconds, a minute... Time passed slowly.

"Why hasn't the Iron Ball stopped yet?"

"The host hasn't told it to stop."

"!!!!" Chen Xiaojun felt he needed to study some books about cultivating self-restraint.

"Stop!"

Ten seconds passed, but the Iron Ball still hadn't stopped...

"Why hasn't it stopped?"

"To prevent the host from cheating by watching it, it takes thirty seconds to stop."

"00XX..."

It finally stopped on "Companion." The system interface turned into three face-down cards.

"Please turn over a card, host!"

"What does this 'Companion' mean?"

"It refers to the 'Companion' in the Four Essentials of Cultivation-Dao, Companions, Wealth, and Land. A like-minded Dao Friend."

"Haha, a Dao Companion would be best!"

"The people generated by this system are naturally close to the host. Whether they become Dao Companions depends on you."

"Not, like, a hundred percent loyalty rating or something?"

"This system generates people-real people. There is no such thing as a quantified loyalty rating. Please turn over a card, host!"

"..."

Chen Xiaojun felt that what it said made a lot of sense. He had nothing to say.

"The one in the middle!"

When he turned it over, a Purple-Haired Girl stood quietly on a branch on the card, her face covered by a light veil. A Purple Gemstone hung between her brows, and her purple eyes were like crystals, filled with nothing but endless indifference. The Wheel Fan, intricately woven from Silk and adorned with flowers, slanted behind her, revealing her identity.

Chen Xiaojun's pupils contracted slightly. He truly hadn't expected it to be her!

With her extraordinary beauty and immaculate aura, she had been one of Chen Xiaojun's favorite fictional characters in his Previous Life!

"Congratulations, host! You have obtained Lesser Siming from The Legend of Qin!"

Lesser Lesser!

The original goddess of Chinese animation!

She was one of the most popular characters in The Legend of Qin, with long purple hair and eyes, and she always wore a veil over her face.

It was said that she was as beautiful as an Immortal, but no one in the world had ever seen her true face beneath the veil.

She was one of the Death Messengers who inspired terror wherever they went. Cold and indifferent, she possessed profound Martial Arts that belied her age.

But wasn't she also a pitiful person? Her background was a story for another time.

The position of Lesser Siming was an ill-fated one. No one who held the role could live long.

Before officially taking up the post, every new Lesser Siming had to personally kill the previous one.

So each successor was stronger than the last, more cruel than the last, and more inhuman than the last.

The role of Lesser Siming did not involve using Qi-into-Strength; instead, it involved Soul-for-Qi.

When the soul scattered, life ended. Every time Lesser Siming unleashed Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow, she consumed her soul, which could also be understood as her life.

Life had form; death left no shadow. The soul was extinguished, and the qi was utterly destroyed.

That was Lesser Siming!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaojun immediately asked, "System, does Lesser Siming come with her cultivation techniques?"

"Yes. The character has been created and comes with the cultivation techniques and abilities from her original world. To suit the host's circumstances, she is now six years old and has appeared today! Please go and collect her!"

"Huh? Where?"

"At the entrance to Chenlin Village!"

"I have one question. Lesser Siming's Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow consumes her soul, so what about her?"

"Host, don't forget what continent this is!"

"Douluo Continent. Could it be that she has a Martial Soul?"

"Yes. With a Martial Soul, you can absorb Heaven and Earth Soul Power. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power here carries Divine Soul Power. Spending Soul Power here won't diminish your Life Force."

Chen Xiaojun's expression instantly relaxed. Then he suddenly thought of another question.

"System, I remember Lesser Siming seemed to have trouble speaking?"

"Host, that's not a terminal illness. It can be treated."

"Can't you just treat and heal her directly?"

"This system only handles draws. After-sales issues aren't my concern!"

"..."

That tone nearly made Chen Xiaojun explode with anger, so he spoke a little rudely.

"One more question. With you around, doesn't that mean I won't have any secrets in my daily life?"

"Host, you don't need to worry about that. This system is normally dormant. It can only be activated for 72 hours whenever the host receives a reward, so the host must use the reward within 72 hours. No extensions!"

Note: She was the only living person ever "invited" from another world.

As for the word "Companion," it was just one of the thirty-six kinds of opportunities.

Immortal Cultivation couldn't avoid Yin-Yang. It was better to be paired up!
