Chapter 410 Life and death are also a cycle; death is not the end.
After upgrading his talent, Lin Hanzhou turned his gaze to the huge starlight wheel next to him.
That's the main event today.
Talent extraction.
"System, activate talent extraction."
【Ding! 】
[Talent draw is now available. The current cost for a high-level draw is 10,000 points.]
Following Lin Hanzhou's command, the giant roulette wheel began to slowly rotate.
Starlight swirled, and countless orbs of light, symbolizing different talents, rose and fell within it.
Lin Hanzhou had a sudden thought.
The roulette wheel suddenly slowed down, and finally the pointer slowly came to rest on a purple glow.
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the purple talent – [Handsome and Charming]!]
【Handsome and Charming (Purple): A gentleman as elegant as jade, unparalleled in the world. You possess an unparalleled face and charisma that drives all men (including some women) wild. Your charm is always at its maximum; with this face, your success rate of being a kept man increases by 1000%.】
Upon seeing the description of this talent, Lin Hanzhou's face, which had initially held a hint of anticipation, instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"..."
"System, are you messing with me?"
Lin Hanzhou's lips twitched, and veins throbbed on his forehead.
"I'm going to break through to a higher realm, fight to the death, or comprehend the Great Dao!"
"What good is giving me a Charisma talent?"
"Am I supposed to seduce the Heavenly Dao with my beauty? Or am I supposed to use my looks to make the tribulation of lightning die a horrible death?"
"And the success rate of relying on a woman increases... I, Lin Hanzhou, a dignified seven-foot man, wielding a celestial sword and bearing the weight of the laws of time, need to rely on a woman?"
Just as Lin Hanzhou was about to unleash a torrent of abuse at this useless talent, a new system notification sounded like a timely rain.
【Ding! 】
[The host is not satisfied with the current extraction results.]
[The Talent Extraction System has been updated!]
[New "Defy Fate" feature: The host can spend ten times the points of the current draw cost to "redraw" the result. There is no limit to the number of redraws, and the cost increases sequentially until the host is satisfied!]
[Note: After each draw, the probability of drawing gold and red talents in the next draw will slightly increase.]
[Note: Talents that have already been extracted will be temporarily retained, and the host can select talents to keep.]
Upon seeing this notification, Lin Hanzhou's originally dark expression softened slightly.
"Pay-to-win to change your fate?"
"Heh, this system is starting to resemble those shady mobile games."
"but……"
Lin Hanzhou glanced at the long string of zeros in his account.
"Right now, I lack everything, except points!"
"100,000 points? Is that money? That's nothing!"
"Draw again!"
……
With a wave of Lin Hanzhou's hand, 100,000 points were instantly deducted.
The roulette wheel spun again.
This time, his gaze was fixed intently on the pointer.
hum!
The light was frozen in time.
It's still purple.
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the purple talent – [Gun Mastery]!]
Lin Hanzhou frowned.
"Gun Path? If I had come earlier, it would have been fine, but I'm currently majoring in the Law of Time and have never practiced with a gun. Switching to Gun Path now would be a waste of time."
"No, change it again!"
"One million points, let's draw!"
The roulette wheel spun rapidly.
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the purple talent – [Extensive Knowledge and Excellent Memory]!]
"A scholar's talent? What would I do with that? Go take the imperial examination to become the top scholar?"
"Change it again! Ten million!"
"I refuse to believe it!"
"Can this bad luck continue today?"
"Ten million points, transfer them to me!"
The roulette wheel seemed to sense its host's anger, spinning so fast that it left afterimages.
After a while.
A light shone.
Still purple!
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the purple talent—[The God of Cookery Descends to Earth]!]
"puff--"
Lin Hanzhou almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"A master chef?!"
"You beast!"
Lin Hanzhou's eyes turned red as he looked at the dazzling "God of Cookery Descends to Earth" sign.
It's not that this talent is useless; there isn't a single useless purple talent.
The key point is that his guaranteed talent draw is purple.
I've tried four times in a row and it's still purple. Who could stand that?
"Huff... huff..."
Lin Hanzhou took several deep breaths before he could barely suppress the urge to smash the roulette wheel.
He glanced at his points balance.
Fortunately, although it cost a lot, it hasn't seriously damaged him yet.
He then began drawing again, this time spending ten times more points, a total of one hundred million points.
With the injection of this huge sum of money, the entire Star Wheel began to spin wildly once again!
A few seconds later, the turntable finally slowed down.
Finally, the roulette wheel pointer stopped in the area of golden light.
A dazzling golden light instantly illuminated the entire system space!
[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the golden talent—[Alchemy Prodigy]!]
[Alchemy Prodigy (Gold): A master of alchemy, unparalleled throughout history. You are a born alchemy prodigy, possessing an unparalleled understanding of pharmacology, heat control, and elixir formulas. Any elixir in your hands has a chance of being refined into a top-grade or even supreme quality. Furthermore, when you enhance your cultivation by consuming elixirs, you are immune to elixir toxicity and drug tolerance, with an absorption rate increased by 1000%!]
Looking at the four golden characters and the incredible attribute description below, Lin Hanzhou's face, which had been as dark as the bottom of a pot, finally brightened up.
"Good! Good! Good!"
He said "good" three times in a row.
"Although it's not a talent that directly increases combat power, the value of this [Alchemy Prodigy] is absolutely no less than any combat talent!"
"Alchemists are the most prestigious and wealthiest profession in any world. With this talent, I can quickly accumulate wealth and connections in the dream world, providing a continuous source of resources for my breakthrough."
We finally broke even this time.
However, he can also spend points to draw prizes.
With this in mind, Lin Hanzhou did not hesitate.
"System, spend one billion points to draw once."
As he gave the command, the star wheel began to spin again.
This time, Lin Hanzhou was much more relaxed.
With the golden talent [Alchemy Prodigy] as a safety net, he'd accept even if he drew a purple one this time.
However, the gears of fate often turn most violently when people least expect it.
When the roulette wheel stopped spinning, the pointer stopped on the most inconspicuous little patch of red on the wheel.
A crimson light, filled with an aura of taboo and mystery, erupted like a volcanic eruption!
The light was so intense, so domineering.
The moment it appeared, the originally dazzling golden radiance of the [Alchemy Prodigy] was forcibly suppressed, appearing dim and lackluster.
The entire system space was stained a chilling crimson!
"Holy...holy shit?!"
Lin Hanzhou's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
What did he see?
It's not purple.
It's not gold either.
It's a red talent that's only vaguely mentioned in the system description!
[Congratulations, host, on acquiring the unique, red-tier talent—[Nine Reincarnations]!]
[Nine Reincarnations (Red): Life and death are also a cycle of reincarnation; death is not the end.]
【Effect 1 - Death and Rebirth: Upon your death, you will be reborn. You will be reborn in this world with a random identity and at a random location, retaining all memories and insights from your previous life. Maximum number of rebirths: 9.】
[Effect 2 - Protection of Fortune: With each rebirth, you will receive a small amount of world fortune, making it easier for you to obtain opportunities and turn misfortune into good fortune.]
[Effect 3 - Innate Talent: Upon each rebirth, you will randomly receive a temporary [Golden Talent] as your innate talent! This talent is only valid in the current incarnation.]
[Note: After utilizing all nine reincarnations, the host will inherit the peak cultivation levels and all talents of all nine lifetimes.]
[Note: If this talent is used in the dream world, the reincarnation count for this talent will be automatically reset after the dream ends.]
