"Hehehe... Wang Xiaomei... Ehehehe, my little Cocogoat~"
In a certain residential district, a man sat in his room, staring at his computer screen while letting out a laugh that bordered on the lecherous.
"One ten-pull! Life and death are fated, and wealth is in the hands of heaven! Cocogoat, I know you love me! Come to me, baby!!!"
Jiang Yan howled as he clicked the ten-pull button.
As the gacha animation flashed across the screen, a streak of gold light suddenly burst forth from the sea of blue.
"Gold!! Gold!! It's a gold pull!!!"
Jiang Yan frantically clicked skip.
Shua!
Five gold-bordered copies of Ganyu appeared before his eyes.
"Gah!!"
Jiang Yan shrieked and leaned back in shock. The leg of his chair snapped under the sudden force, and his head slammed into the bedpost behind him. Everything went black, and he lost consciousness instantly.
Rustle... rustle...
A gentle breeze blew through the wilderness, carrying the fragrance of damp soil.
"Ugh..."
Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes, his mind a blur of confusion.
"Where... am I?"
"This art style... Teyvat??"
Staring at the scenery that was both familiar and strange, Jiang Yan's expression shifted from dazed to shocked, then finally to utter bewilderment.
"No way! Holy crap! I just got five golds in a ten-pull; what did I do wrong?!"
"How did I actually transmigrate!!!"
Jiang Yan knelt on the ground in agony. At the very least... he should have been allowed to post a screenshot of those five golds to his social feed before crossing over...
Indeed, because of that legendary ten-pull, Jiang Yan had transmigrated to the continent of Teyvat, the world of Genshin Impact.
However, Jiang Yan didn't feel particularly lucky. While Teyvat was filled with beautiful waifus, it was also teeming with all sorts of dangers!
He wasn't Lumine or Aether! He didn't have a Dull Blade to carve his way through Teyvat. He was just an ordinary person without a single cheat code.
Just as Jiang Yan was at his wit's end, his head suddenly throbbed, and a buzzing sound filled his ears.
[Detected that the world rift has closed. System integration beginning...]
[The All-Worlds Treasure Hunting System is at your service, my respected host.]
The mechanical voice exploded in his mind, leaving his head spinning.
A system?
A system?!
Holy crap! All those novels were true?! Transmigrators really do get systems?
"System?" Jiang Yan whispered cautiously, terrified that it might have just been a hallucination.
[I am here, Host. Furthermore, you may simply inquire within your mind; there is no need to speak aloud.]
The system's voice was cold and aloof, yet it felt strangely normal just like the robots he had seen in videos.
"The All-Worlds Treasure Hunting System? How does the hunting work? Do I need to collect emotion points or shock value or something?"
Based on the tropes of the system-genre novels he'd read, he figured he had to collect some form of energy to hunt for treasures from across the myriad worlds and reach the pinnacle of life.
[...]
[Host, your imagination has exceeded the system's calculative cognitive limits.]
The system's voice seemed to take on a touch of human-like helplessness.
[This system is simple to operate and does not require you to collect anything.]
[You only need to open the chests found in this world. Opening them gives you a chance to obtain items from across the myriad worlds.]
[Note: The higher the grade of the chest, the higher the probability of obtaining rare items from other worlds.]
The system's explanation was concise and clear. Jiang Yan understood it immediately.
At that moment, a flicker of dark-gold light caught his eye.
Upon the high mountain before him, a large, dark-gold chest sat quietly on a protruding rock on the cliffside.
Jiang Yan scrambled up from the ground in delight.
That was... a Precious Chest!!
Heaven has not abandoned me!
Gyahahaha!!
Little chest~ Here I come!
Jiang Yan stretched his body and walked toward the mountain. Using the protruding rocks as handholds, he began a slow but steady climb. The mountain wasn't too steep, and the jagged rocks made it relatively easy to ascend.
"Huff... huff..."
After a grueling climb, he finally pulled himself onto the ledge and gasped for air.
"Damn it... if I knew I was going to transmigrate, I would have exercised more."
Due to his long-term shut-in lifestyle, his stamina was pathetic. Fortunately, the sight of the large chest standing before him provided instant comfort.
"Chesty, oh chesty, whether I can make a name for myself in Teyvat depends entirely on this pull!"
Filled with anticipation, Jiang Yan undid the latch and threw open the chest.
[Congratulations, Host, for opening a Precious Chest.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for completing the achievement: 'To Whom Did You Give Your First Time?']
[Achievement Reward: Chest Grade Increase.]
Streaks of flowing light followed the system's notification and surged into Jiang Yan's body.
[Precious Chest grade increased to: Luxurious Chest.]
[Drawing rewards for the host...]
[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: Naruto World: Wood Release!]
[Arranging a logical race for the host to integrate into the world of Teyvat...]
As golden lights flashed, Jiang Yan's original body began to undergo a massive transformation.
Pale green pupils paired with pointed ears, and his silver-gray hair shimmered with a faint luster under the sun's rays.
[Current Host Identity: Orphan of the Wood Elf race.]
The system's voice faded, and Jiang Yan slowly opened his eyes. He went to raise his hand but suddenly froze.
"A child's hand?"
His eyes widened as he looked down at his body. He was tiny. Then, he reached up and felt his pointed ears.
"Wait, System!! Why did you change my race and identity too?!" Jiang Yan questioned indignantly.
[As the host transmigrated in your original body, your physical form was far too frail to utilize the power of Wood Release. I could only reconstruct the host's body. I hope the host does not ruin this new account again.]
The system's words were like daggers to the heart. Jiang Yan's lip twitched was his original body really so bad that even a system couldn't stand to look at it?
Well, whatever. Elves in Teyvat basically just looked like humans with pointy ears anyway.
The most important thing was that he had obtained Wood Release! That was Wood Release! The ability of the First Hokage!!
Jiang Yan could already imagine himself standing tall within the Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands.
In his excitement, he slammed his palms together.
"Wood Release! Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, but a gentle breeze blew past, and absolutely nothing happened.
"Huh?" Jiang Yan stared blankly at the empty air.
[Host, the system does not understand what you are trying to do...]
The system's voice was full of weary resignation. How did it end up with a host like this?
