[Ding! Detected a combination of arrogance, greed, lust, gluttony and laziness!] [Binding the Original Sin System!]
Xiao Jue, walking down the road: "???"
Holy crap? I have a system too?
Xiao Jue was so excited he nearly took off on the spot. But he got carried away and failed to notice a Dayun heavy truck roaring toward him from behind!
Boom!
Xiao Jue's vision went black, and he went flying.
An unknown amount of time passed.
When Xiao Jue opened his eyes again, an unfamiliar rural scene lay before him.
There was a dirt road, thatched cottages, and a few hens leisurely pecking at grain by the roadside.
Xiao Jue: "What the hell? Where did that send me?"
He rubbed his head and stood up, grimacing. After taking a couple of steps, he spotted a few villagers dressed in coarse cloth.
Xiao Jue's heart jolted. Holy crap, did I transmigrate?
He hurried over, all smiles. "Uncle, could you tell me what year it is?"
The uncle looked baffled. "Your ear? Go get it washed, then!"
Xiao Jue: ???
What the heck?
Just then, a system panel popped up before him with a ding-
[Ding! The host was sent flying by a Dayun truck and arrived on Douluo Continent.]
Xiao Jue's eyes lit up. "Holy crap, bro System's still here!"
The uncle gave him a look as if he were an idiot. "Makes no sense." Then he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Jue couldn't be bothered with what anyone else thought. He threw his head back and laughed.
"Hahaha! I've transmigrated to Douluo, and I've got a system backing me up! Looks like I'm going to have beauties in both arms, trample Tang San underfoot, beat Xiao Wu with a stick, and reach the peak of life!"
"System, quick, tell me what you can do!"
The system fell silent for two seconds.
[Unfortunately, I, the Original Sin System, was also smashed to pieces by the Dayun truck~]
Xiao Jue: "Huh?"
Xiao Jue: "System, what do you mean by that?!"
[My functional permissions were sent flying by the Dayun truck. They transmigrated with you and were scattered all across Douluo Continent!]
The corner of Xiao Jue's mouth twitched. "What kind of system are you? How did you get smashed to pieces? And how am I supposed to get your fragments back?"
[The system fragments have already been absorbed by this continent's children of fortune!]
Xiao Jue: Huh?
[Depending on their fortune, they each absorbed different fragments of the seven deadly sins and thereby gained some of this system's original functions! The host must keep retrieving the system fragments. Once all seven deadly sin values have been recovered to one hundred percent, I can help you ascend to godhood!] [The host must approach the children of fortune and keep completing various retrieval missions!]
Xiao Jue rubbed his chin. "Children of fortune? That's got to be the main cast. I wonder what point in the story this is?"
He looked up and saw a crowd gathered outside a dilapidated school gate not far ahead.
A sign hung crookedly over the gate, bearing the words-
Shrek Academy.
A short line of students stood at the entrance, waiting to register.
Xiao Jue's eyes lit up. "Douluo I! Well, in that case, the Shrek Seven Devils must have plenty of system fragments. I'll follow them and retrieve the fragments first!"
But the very next second, he ran into a problem.
He didn't even have a Martial Soul, and as a transmigrated college student, he was already well past the academy's admissions age limit.
Just then, his gaze fell on a small slip of paper beside the admissions desk-
Janitor wanted. Monthly pay: five Copper Soul Coins.
Xiao Jue sucked in a sharp breath. "That's Flender for you. He's damn stingy! Even a dog wouldn't work for that pay!"
He paused, narrowing his eyes.
"But... if a dog won't do it, I will!"
With that, Xiao Jue tore down the slip of paper and strode into the academy to apply for the job!
Xiao Jue came out of Flender's office having successfully secured the janitor's job at Shrek Academy.
Flender said food and lodging weren't included. Xiao Jue agreed without a second thought, so readily that even Flender wondered if he'd offered too much.
Flender pushed up his glasses and muttered to himself:
"There really are people whose brains don't work. If I'd known, I'd have offered one Copper Soul Coin a month."
Flender looked at the system panel before him, visible only to him, and the corners of his mouth rose.
"I completed the mission, and the Summoning System unlocked the first summon-Niu Lai? Is that some kind of bovine Soul Beast?"
He continued reading, and his face instantly fell.
"One summon costs a hundred Gold Soul Coins?! That's going to be the death of me! Forget it, I'll save the summon for a critical moment!"
Flender pushed up his glasses, a shrewd gleam reflecting off the lenses.
"Charging each of the new students two hundred Gold Soul Coins this time wouldn't be too much, would it? Hehehe."
Xiao Jue emerged from Flender's office carrying a battered broom. He looked around and couldn't help grumbling:
"This Shrek Academy just takes up a few rundown houses in the village. What the hell is there to clean?"
He wandered around the academy with his broom. Before he had gone far, the aroma of grilled sausages wafted over.
A crowd had gathered around a small cart not far ahead.
Xiao Jue narrowed his eyes and took a closer look:
Oscar was selling sausages. Standing in front of his stall were the blond-haired Dai Mubai and the utterly ordinary-looking Tang San,
the tall Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong in a white dress, and Zhu Zhuqing, clad in leather and curvaceous in all the right places.
Xiao Jue's eyes lit up. The main cast!
Just then, the system panel popped up with a ding:
[Ding! Mission triggered: when someone eats Oscar's sausage, 1 point of gluttony can be recovered!]
Without another word, Xiao Jue went over.
He heard Dai Mubai say, "I'm just giving Tang San a warning. Tang San is my brother; I can't let him fall for your trick. Hurry up. Don't make me do it myself."
Left with no choice, Oscar stretched out his right hand and called out in his soft voice, looking a little sleazy:
"I Have a Big Sausage."
Yellow light abruptly gathered in his palm, and two yellow rings rose from beneath Oscar's feet.
Immediately afterward, a sausage identical to the one in Tang San's hand appeared in his palm.
"Uh..."
Tang San, who was holding the sausage, froze.
Behind him, Xiao Wu hadn't understood what it meant. Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also gathered around.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, looking at Oscar with disgust.
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Boring."
Oscar, however, let the corners of his mouth curl up slightly.
A panel popped up in front of him:
[Obtained 10 shock points!]
Oscar was secretly delighted. Not bad. The more people watching, the more shock points I get!
Xiao Jue watched. This won't do. I have to get Tang San to eat that sausage!
His eyes darted, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Are you a man or not? You don't even dare eat a sausage?"
Tang San had just been about to put the sausage down, but his hand hesitated.
Xiao Wu looked at him in confusion. "Yeah, it's just a sausage. What's wrong with all of you?"
Tang San: "Xiao Wu, I..."
Just then, a pale blue system panel suddenly appeared before Tang San-
[Ding! The God-Level Choice System has triggered a choice node!]
