Looking at the small gift package in front of him, to be honest, Huang Wen was a little excited.
Familiar with the tropes of transmigration, he knew that this small gift package was his starting capital!
Huang Wen took a deep breath and didn't make too many moves.
He didn't wash his hands, bathe, or burn incense.
As the saying goes, "Mysticism can't save the unlucky, and money can't change fate."
Huang Wen never believed in the methods mentioned above.
Huang Wen only believed in the 'padding' theory, but unfortunately, there was only one small gift package, and no other packages to pad with.
"Wow! Golden Legend!" A demonic voice appeared in Huang Wen's ear, though it was just his auditory hallucination.
The small gift package opened to reveal two lottery wheels.
The first had six options: Mortal, Extraordinary, Legendary, Epic, Mythical, and Divine.
What convinced Huang Wen was that the area for each option was the same.
This was very much in line with Huang Wen's view that any card pack opening or fusion only had two possibilities: flash or no flash, success or failure.
The chances were the same.
Only these two possibilities existed, and only after opening would these two possibilities collapse into one.
The second lottery wheel was divided into three equally sized areas: Character Draw, Skill Draw, and Item Draw.
"Let's begin." Huang Wen didn't hesitate.
The two lottery wheels meant two turns, which could be considered a small 'pad' for Huang Wen.
With a "Swish!" the first lottery wheel spun rapidly.
Huang Wen couldn't even see where the pointer was pointing.
Huang Wen didn't know how long it had been, or even when the lottery wheel stopped, but when he saw the pointer land on 'Mortal', his heart was definitely filled with disappointment.
Mortal was, without a doubt, the worst option.
Huang Wen even wondered why he couldn't spin the second lottery wheel first to 'pad' it.
"Never mind." Huang Wen shook his head and looked at the second lottery wheel.
"Continue."
With a "Swish!" the second lottery wheel also spun rapidly.
Before long, the pointer stopped at 'Character Draw'.
"I knew it." Huang Wen shrugged.
His 'padding' theory was indeed valid; he had just accidentally 'padded' the good package, resulting in the best outcome from the worst package.
"Newbie Gift Package opened: Mortal, Character Draw."
"Proceed?"
Two lines of text appeared before Huang Wen again.
Huang Wen didn't hesitate and directly agreed.
This time, it wasn't a lottery wheel; this time, it was truly opening the gift package!
With a "Whoosh!" a flash of light appeared in front of Huang Wen.
"Congratulations, you have obtained a Mortal character, Ip Man (from the Ip Man film series, comprehensively selecting Ip Man with the most optimal qualities in all aspects)."
"Most optimal qualities?" Huang Wen's gaze fell on this, and looking at the explanation before him, Huang Wen nodded in understanding.
"Does this mean he possesses both the most peak martial arts knowledge and combat experience, as well as the most peak physique?
This can be considered an optimized version, right?"
"This draw result is not bad.
At least, it's consistent with my current identity.
I can have stronger Wing Chun, and it will be a great help for me to complete the third mission and make the martial arts school flourish!"
"After all, the ability of Grandmaster Ip Man is at least above the original Huang Wen!
Then, an Extraordinary character draw will definitely allow me to draw an even more powerful character!"
"When you put it that way, Ip Man and I really are destined!"
Huang Wen shifted his gaze to the name Ip Man.
The next moment, Ip Man's various attributes appeared before him.
"Character: Ip Man."
"Essence: 19 points. (Peak for normal people: 10 points, human limit: 20 points.)"
"Qi: 1 point. (Hidden Strength, 1 point of Qi is equivalent to 10 points of Essence.)"
"Spirit: 0 points."
"Skills: Wing Chun Grandmaster, Hidden Strength."
"Evaluation: Possessing the most optimal level of Ip Man, he is the strongest existence in the Ip Man universe.
Reaching Hidden Strength at the Mortal level, he is truly a grandmaster of his generation."
"Do you want to integrate the abilities of the character Ip Man?"
"A grandmaster of his generation! Hidden Strength? Isn't this from national martial arts novels?
Does it really exist?" A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Wen's eyes as he looked at Hidden Strength.
"And, 1 point of Qi is equal to 10 points of Essence, so what about Spirit?
Is it also a one-to-ten ratio?"
Unfortunately, no one answered Huang Wen.
Although Huang Wen now had 1 point of Spirit, it also said 'Not Activated' next to it.
"19 points of Essence, already close to the human limit.
As expected of the optimized version of Ip Man! Integrate." Huang Wen praised, without hesitation, and directly integrated Ip Man's abilities.
With a "Swish!" Huang Wen saw a white light drill into his glabella.
Immediately after, a series of images appeared—Ip Man's entire life's martial arts attainments.
The next moment, Huang Wen's body trembled slightly.
He felt his body constantly strengthening, whether it was strength, speed, or various aspects of physical fitness, all were comprehensively improving!
With a "Click!" Huang Wen seemed to hear a breaking sound from within his body.
With this breaking sound, Huang Wen felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit; there was no discomfort anywhere in his body!
After a long while, Huang Wen came back to his senses, feeling his strength.
A power far exceeding his imagination surprised Huang Wen.
Could it be that the difference between 15 points of Essence and 19 points of Essence was so great?
Subconsciously, Huang Wen called out to the system again, but the scene before him made Huang Wen subconsciously rub his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong.
"Host: Huang Wen."
"Essence: 34 points."
"Qi: 1 point."
"Spirit: 1 point (Not Activated)."
"Skills: Wing Chun Grandmaster, Hidden Strength."
"Evaluation: After integrating the character abilities of Grandmaster Ip Man, you have broken through the human limit, even approaching twice the human limit in strength.
You have already entered the extraordinary level based on your physical fitness."
"Current Missions: 0 / 3 (Not Completed)"
"Stacking? It's actually stacking?
Extraordinary? I'm already extraordinary?" Huang Wen's eyes gleamed with excitement.
He looked at the wooden dummy beside him, rushed over in two steps, and, following the experience in his memory, began to strike the wooden dummy.
At first, Huang Wen was a little rusty, but when his wrist touched the wooden dummy, everything became so familiar, so natural.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
After a long while, Huang Wen finally stopped.
The excitement in his eyes gradually subsided.
"Phew!" Huang Wen let out a long breath and looked outside the martial arts school.
This was a strange yet familiar world.
Huang Wen knew that once he stepped out from here, his brand new life would begin!
Without firearms, he, Huang Wen, dared to call himself invincible!
