Douluo: Refreshing Attributes, Starting with Luck is on My Side! Chapter 2

What use is this etiquette and music talent?

Douluo was about to enter the Age of Gods. Strength was what truly mattered, okay?

Hundred-Year Douluo (Purple): You will achieve the rank of Titled Douluo in a hundred years.

A hundred years? What decent person could live that long?

System, you have bad intentions.

Sigh...

Something seemed off...

Was this talking about me before I awakened the system?

He had never expected that, even without the system's support, he could become a Titled Douluo with nothing but Innate Level 5 Soul Power.

Lin Feng felt a little smug. It seemed this transmigrator of his was pretty impressive after all.

His gaze shifted to the final Fateful Misfortune attribute.

Fateful Misfortune (Gray): You will experience many hardships in this life, but fortunately, you will persevere through them.

Damn, I had to go through so much suffering just to become a Titled Douluo.

What kind of miserable life was I living?!

Fortunately, he had awakened the system. Everything from now on would be different.

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief.

Readers were welcome to leave comments, criticisms, and corrections. The author would discuss or revise them promptly after seeing them.

Wishing everyone a happy New Year in advance!!!

Purple Attribute? Luck is on My Side

"Ding!"

System Notice: Random attributes are divided into five grades: white, green, purple, gold, and red.

Each attribute refreshes once every seven days. The host may choose one from the three refreshed attributes of the same grade, or retain the original attribute.

During a refresh, the host has a chance to trigger a critical hit and raise the attribute's grade.

Chance for a white attribute to advance to green: 10%. Chance for a green attribute to advance to purple: 1%. Chance for a purple attribute to advance to gold: 0.01%. Chance for a gold attribute to advance to red: 0.00001%.

So that was how it worked.

A one-in-ten chance.

That meant that after seventy days—about two months—I could upgrade white to green.

And in two years, I could upgrade it to purple.

Though not necessarily. Who could say for sure with probabilities this mysterious?

Having finally snapped out of his daze, Lin Feng looked seriously at the information on the panel again.

Wait?

The system only had five attribute grades in total.

So what was this gray attribute about?

"Ding!"

System Notice: The appearance of a gray attribute proves that the host has encountered bad luck, but it will not cause death.

Once a black attribute appears, it means the host will either die young or meet a tragic death.

The chance of a gray refresh advancing to a white attribute is 10%.

Die young? Meet a tragic death?...

That was terrifying!

Whew, fortunately, he did not have a black attribute.

Lin Feng heaved a relieved sigh.

For now, he only had one gray attribute.

He believed that this gray attribute would be gone in less than two months.

Then he would try refreshing an attribute now.

For a moment, Lin Feng looked troubled.

Which one should I start with?

An attribute like Hundred-Year Douluo was only purple.

It seemed purple attributes should be quite valuable.

Then he would refresh the highest-ranked purple one first.

Lin Feng's gaze hardened as he looked expectantly at the panel.

What would appear after the refresh?

Ding! The Hundred-Year Douluo attribute has been refreshed. Please choose one of the following three attributes or retain the original.

Peach Blossom Luck (Purple): Even if you do nothing, many beautiful women will fall for you.

Titled Douluo Potential (Purple): You possess Innate Full Soul Power. As long as you do not perish midway, you can smoothly break through to Titled Douluo.

Luck is on My Side (Purple): Whatever you do, your luck will be exceptionally good. Minor misfortunes will automatically avoid you. Major misfortunes will bring both disaster and fortune, and after suffering them, you will receive corresponding rewards.

What?

It was actually Luck is on My Side. This was an instant pick!

Lin Feng was overjoyed.

What Peach Blossom Luck? What Titled Douluo Potential?

Could either compare to Luck is on My Side?

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng chose Luck is on My Side.

Ding! The Hundred-Year Titled attribute has been updated to Luck is on My Side!

After the attribute update—

Somewhere deep down, he truly felt that his luck had improved slightly.

Now that he had the luck bonus from Luck is on My Side, refreshing again...

He did not dare imagine what the result would be.

Lin Feng rubbed his hands together and casually refreshed the white attribute.

Silently, he prayed for the system to give him a good attribute.

System, system.

Give me a good attribute, preferably one that can crush heaven, earth, and air!

Ding! The Confidence attribute has been refreshed. Congratulations, you have triggered an attribute advancement. Please choose one of the following three attributes or retain the original.

"Roar! It was actually an attribute advancement! System, you're this awesome?"

Lin Feng cried out.

As expected of Luck is on My Side.

Now that there had been an advancement, how could he possibly choose to keep the original? He had to take the advancement.

Mastery (Green): You can quickly master soul skills and possess decent combat instincts.

A Pot of Flavor (Green): Your tongue can taste all kinds of flavors, making you highly suited to becoming a chef.

Read Ten Lines at a Glance (Green): You will be able to read ten lines at a glance, and learn anything very quickly.

These three attributes...

At a glance, Lin Feng seemed to have discovered a pattern.

It appeared that for lifestyle attributes like Gifted in Etiquette and Music and A Pot of Flavor—

Green was already enough to give him top-tier talent.

But for combat and learning, it could only make him a fairly good genius.

He definitely would not choose to become a god of cooking.

Should I choose combat or learning?

Lin Feng hesitated, resting one hand beneath his chin as he began to think.

If he chose learning, he could learn combat too, but he could not learn actual combat instincts.

Still, the advantage of being a learning genius was that he could learn anything.

Lin Feng remembered that his family had been passed down for several centuries and did possess a few secret manuals he could study.

For example, the Ring Fusion Technique.

In any case, he could refresh again in seven days. He would just pick one for now.

After thinking it over, Lin Feng made his choice.

"System, I choose Read Ten Lines at a Glance."

Ding! The Confidence attribute has been refreshed to Read Ten Lines at a Glance!

The instant the refresh was complete, it felt as though something had filled Lin Feng's mind.

After a brief daze—

Lin Feng's consciousness became clear again, and he was immediately surprised.

He could clearly feel that his mind was sharper than before, and his memory had improved as well.

As he looked at the system's densely packed words, he truly could read ten lines at a glance.

This feeling... I can read incredibly fast.

What if I used this to read novels?

Others could read one book a day with a membership, while I could read ten.

That would be three hundred books a month. I'd definitely make a steady profit!

He would never have to worry about reading too slowly again.

Once his emotions settled down—

Lin Feng proceeded to refresh Gifted in Etiquette and Music.

He had just triggered an advancement. Could he trigger another one this time?

Ding! The Gifted in Etiquette and Music attribute has been refreshed. Please choose one of the following three attributes or retain the original.

Forging Hands (Green): Your hands are extremely nimble and can forge decent weapons.

Minor Talent (Green): You possess Innate Level 7 Soul Power.

Language of Ten Thousand Beasts (Green): You can understand the language of most soul beasts, but cannot communicate with them.

Seeing the attributes on the panel, there was surprisingly no advancement.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

It seemed that even with Luck is on My Side, he could not have such good luck every single time.

Afterward—

Lin Feng began analyzing the refreshed attributes.
