Han Li signed heavily as he stood on the cliff staring at the bottomless abyss below it. It had been 5 years since he had transmigrated into this cultivation world.
But his luck was so bad he had transmigrated unto the body of a lowly disciple who had died from qi deviation. This led to Han Li occupying a body whose meridians had been destroyed and he could no longer cultivate.
"Damn it! If you were going to transmigrate me, you should at least repair the body!" He shouted angrily towards the sky.
For the past 5 years, he had never told anyone about his condition in fear of being thrown away from the sect for being useless. Instead, he continued working as a servant while searching for ways to heal himself.
But everything changed last week after he got in the way of some arrogant young master. How was he to know that someone was coming behind him as he was sweeping which made him accidentally sweep some dust towards that arrogant young master.
"I must be the worst of the transmigrators. All others get to face-slap arrogant young masters but for me, I got beaten up by the young master and expelled from the sect when he reported that I could not fight back because I have no cultivation."
He wallowed in sadness, even thinking of jumping off the cliff and hoping to get a better life after death when he suddenly heard something.
[Stop host! Don't jump]
A voice sounded in his head scaring Han Li so much that he almost jumped off the cliff.
However, his fear quickly turned into happiness.
"OMG! It's the legendary golden finger of the greatest protagonists. The Great System!"
He shouted in joy as tears of happiness filled his eyes.
[Hahaha. Of course, it's me. Do you think there is any golden finger greater than the system]
"Definitely not. Only the system is the greatest golden finger. The rest are just trash."
[Young man, you have good manners and I like it. Most other protagonist would curse me for having not appeared earlier and stopping their suffering. But they are stupid. I am the only System while they are not the only protagonists, which gives me lots of work since I have to travel to different parts of the infinite multiverse to help them. But they curse me just when I appear and are always full of suspicion]
Hearing such words from the system, Han Li could not help but feel pity for it.
"Don't worry system, I will support you even if I die. If there is any place to make a review for the system, I will make sure to put the highest stars and best comments for you."
[Thank you Han Li. If you ever meet the soul of mother multiverse one day, don't forget to give me a good review. Anyway, it's now time for you to rise]
With those words, suddenly a gigantic glittering screen appeared in front of Han Li. It was so big it seemed to cover the heavens and earth, Standing in front of it made Han hue tinier than a bug. On it, was the huge wheel that had an arrow that pointed to countless number of shining boxes. Each had a name that sounded like it would scare people very much.
Names like creation jade, cosmic mirror, nine suns pill...
[What you're seeing in front of you is the new kind of golden finger for all protagonists. Each one gets 3 chances to spin the lottery. What you win will depend on how big your destiny luck is]
"Wait! Won't others see something this big from far away?"
[Don't worry about that. Apart from you no can see anything until you retrieve your prizes. After you get your prizes, then the job of hiding them will belong to you] the system explained.
[Anyway, there are 7 kinds of reward boxes, in which you can either get; an artifact, a pill, a technique, a pet, a bloodline, a physique, or nothing]
"What do you mean nothing?"
[You see those black boxes that occupy most of the reward space...]
"yes..."
[If you get them, then that means you win nothing]
"But why would you put it there?"
[Well, you can't really expect to have a lottery without a chance of losing]
Han Li felt it made sense, so he let the system continue with the explanation.
[Back to the rewards then. Now, each of these rewards apart from the nothing, has nine ranks, with their order starting from the lowest being; common, uncommon, rare, epic, saint, transcendent, divine, legendary, and mythical]
"So what's the difference between the ranks"
[Hmmm...let's say if you win a common rank pill, it can heal your meridians and help you go from Qi refining to being Essence Soul cultivator]
"Wow! That's jumping a whole 3 major levels." Han Li muttered in shock. From what he knew, the cultivation major levels started from Qi refining, Acupoint opening, Dantian forming, and Essence Soul. Even in his previous sect, this was a level only the patriarch and grand elder had reached.
"If that's the power of a common rank pill, then what about a mythical rank one"
[Well, with a mythical rank pill, it could help you reach the peak of the multiverse. But don't raise your hopes so high, no one has managed to win any mythical thing for the past billion years]
Hearing those words made Han Li's hopes rise and fall at the same time. From what he could remember, his luck had always been the worst.
Even his previous life alone had been nothing but a series of unfortunate accidents. He survived a train crash, being sucked out of a plane door, two car fires, being hit by a bus, losing his computer hard drive containing 10,000 bitcoins in the trash site and even being hit by lightning...seven times. In the end, he died from being struck by a meteor, being the only person in Earth's history to die from one.
Thinking of his previous unlucky encounters caused him to start shivering as he stared at the giant wheel.
'Am not going lose all 3 times, am I?' He gulped in fear.
However, he quickly consoled himself. If he could get even at least a common rank pill and become Essence Soul, his previous sect patriarch would probably beg him to go back to the sect and even offer him a high position. Then he would finally have a chance to face-slap that arrogant young master who had beaten him before and win back his honor as a protagonist. With a smug, he rubbed his hands together and decided to give it a go.
"So how can I push this arrow? Isn't it too big?"
[That's fine. Just place your hand on it, focus your mind and it will start moving]
Hearing those words, Han Li moved closer to it and put his hand on the screen. It felt like he was touching something real and illusionary at the same time which was pretty cool.
As he focused on the arrow it started moving, slowly at first, then gaining speed until it was nothing but a blur.
"Please don't let me lose, I would be happy with anything else except black box'
He hoped as he stared hard at the arrow which was finally starting to slow down. Just when it looked like it would land blue with a picture of a pill on it, a
"NOOOOO!" Han Li screamed in terror as he watched the arrow on the wheel land on the black box.
[You have received nothing. Only two more chances are remaining]
'Is my luck really going to make me lose everything? No! I will not accept this.'
As his eyes turned bloodshot, he prayed to all his dead ancestors to aid him as he focused on the screen once more. Again, the wheel started rotating.
He closed not wishing to watch, when the voice of the system sounded in his head.
[Congratulation! You have won the mythical rank physique 'Yang Physique']
At first, he thought, he was hearing things, but after opening his eyes and seeing the arrow staying still on one of the brightest shining spots, a golden box, Han Li almost fainted on the spot.
Offering quick thanks to his ancestors, he inhaled deeply and barely managed to calm himself down as he looked at the information about the dazzling prize he had just won.
