From Resident Evil to becoming a gacha god

The catastrophe lasted 198 years.

In Shanghai, on the 18th Ring Road, in a shantytown near the city wall, wisps of smoke slowly rise from chimneys.

In a dilapidated shack in a corner of the shantytown, Xiao Miao stuffed his rifle into his backpack and tucked his pistol into his waistband, ready to go.

"I'm going to become a Celestial Walker in 15 minutes. I'm a little nervous."

His reincarnation skills were really not good. He was an orphan before transmigrating, and after transmigrating to this dangerous world, he still started as an orphan.

Fortunately, on the day one turns 18, every human being has a chance to defy fate. Whether one rises to prominence or fades into obscurity depends on this one gamble.

Through the mind-communication panel, a light blue screen appeared on Xiao Miao's retina.

The screen was empty, with nothing displayed except for the prominent "Fate Value: 925" in the lower right corner.

Of these, 25 points of destiny were saved up by Xiao Miao through frugality, and 900 points were obtained through government-mandated loans, with 9 points going out and 13 returning.

If one fails to awaken a powerful talent and doesn't earn enough Destiny Points while traveling through the heavens, their loans will only increase, making them the most solid foundation of the lower class in society.

boom! boom! boom!

Faint gunfire came from the direction of the city wall; it was the defending soldiers dealing with the corrupted monsters that had slipped through the gaps in the shield.

May the Jade Emperor, Buddha, Jesus, Cthulhu, and Horus bless me and help me awaken a powerful talent!

Xiao Miao prayed silently, checked his equipment again, and after confirming that everything was in order, he immediately opened the virtual panel as soon as 12 o'clock arrived.

A pop-up window will automatically appear above.

[Attention all travelers, dimensional travel is about to begin]

[Countdown: 10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1!]

[The journey begins!]

As soon as the words "Transfer Begins" appeared, Xiao Miao's vision went black, and he instantly fainted. He then completely disappeared in a flash of white light.

......

The intense feeling of weightlessness made Xiao Miao instinctively squat down to steady herself.

A heat wave swept in from all directions, and the sour, sultry smell filled his nostrils. Xiao Miao forced himself to stay alert and immediately drew his pistol from his pocket, ready to face any possible dangers.

Although the first journey through the heavens is generally safe, accidents have occurred before, so caution is always advised.

Fortunately, misfortune did not befall him. Xiao Miao looked around and found himself in a dark alley. There was a trash can not far away, with sewage flowing out from below, and the sour smell was coming from there.

Seeing the obvious human-made objects, Xiao Miao felt a little relieved. After confirming that no one was around, he mentally accessed his personal panel.

In an instant, orange light burst forth on his retina, causing Xiao Miao to instinctively hold his breath.

Orange? Why orange?

Talent levels are divided into five colors from low to high: white, green, blue, purple, and gold. Xiao Miao had never heard of an orange talent.

Could it be that the time traveler's cheat ability has finally been activated?!

Xiao Miao used his mind to open his personal panel, and a large amount of information immediately appeared before his eyes.

Name: Xiao Miao

Age: 18

Physical Strength: 4

Soul Strength: 7

Energy Intensity: 0

[Status: Feeling full, slightly dizzy]

[Fate Value: 925]

【技能：日语lv3、英语lv3、华语lv7、厨艺lv5、格斗lv5.......】

[Talent (Unique): Fate Dice]

[Ability: Forge a bond with your destined one, consuming the power of fate to draw one possibility from among countless destinies.]

The description of the ability was too abstract, and it was impossible to understand it just by reading the text. But in fact, the way to use the ability was already engraved in Xiao Miao's mind the moment he awakened his talent.

Just like how boys, as they get older, naturally realize that certain organs have other uses besides urination.

His innate talent was like a third hand to Xiao Miao; his physical instincts allowed him to understand the general uses of his talent.

"It looks like we've taken off!" Xiao Miao's eyes lit up with excitement.

His talent allows him to draw prizes from a special group of people, extracting abilities, items, and even exclusive character cards from countless futures across countless timelines.

The deeper your relationship with the other party, the greater the probability of drawing the item, and the higher the chance of success. Each draw consumes Destiny Power, which is the Destiny Value in your account.

It's a skill with a very wide range of potential!

Xiao Miao is now eager to find someone to give it a try.

Just then, the mission information for this trip popped up on the panel:

[Triggering the time travel quest: Gain 200 Destiny Points (1/200). If the quest fails, the connection will be permanently lost!]

[Optional Investigation Mission Triggered: Explore the Fate of the Current World 0/1, Mission Reward: 1000 Fate Points, Failure Penalty: None!]

[Optional Disguise: High School Student (50 Fate Points), Reporter (70 Fate Points), Homeless Person (20 Fate Points)]

The traversal mission is a mandatory task; losing connection means the panel disappears and you will never be able to return to the main world.

As invaders, the Skywalker gains Fate Points for every action they take in this world, which is why the panel shows 1/200. From this perspective, the difficulty of the first traverse is indeed very low.

Xiao Miao focused on disguising his identity while glancing at the entrance of the alley out of the corner of his eye.

The streets were bustling with people and vehicles, a scene of prosperity.

In modern society, having a disguised identity is still very necessary. Unregistered individuals face difficulties in getting around and are easily harassed by locals at crucial moments, so there's no need to save money on it.

Xiao Miao ruled out the option of homeless people, and his gaze lingered between middle school students and reporters, ultimately choosing the reporter.

As a journalist, it's perfectly normal to travel around the world exploring.

After making the selection, 70 points of fate value disappeared instantly. Xiao Miao felt his pockets were bulging. He reached in and pulled out a press card, a driver's license, and a mobile phone.

"Tsk, a creation from the void!" Xiao Miao exclaimed again, marveling at how awesome the panel was.

The phone was a flip phone with a retro style, and the driver's license had a photo of himself printed on it. Xiao Miao looked at his press card and slowly read out his current identity:

"Raccoon City Daily intern reporter: Xiao Miao Smith?!"

"!!!"

"Holy crap, Raccoon City!"

In an instant, images of zombie sieges and nuclear airbursts flooded my mind, along with Ashley's cuteness, Jill's dashing figure, and Ada Wong's various costume mods...

Is this really a world from Resident Evil?

With that in mind, Xiao Miao suddenly understood what the "destined person" in the description of his talent meant.

Could he be the main character in the story?

If we extract one possibility from the myriad fates of the main characters in the story... does fan fiction or derivative works count?

Xiao Miao's mind raced with all sorts of associations in an instant.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

The phone rang suddenly. He flipped it open and answered. An excited man's voice came through: "Xiao, where have you been? A huge news story has broken in the suburbs! A chance to make a fortune has arrived! Where are you? I'll come pick you up!"

Xiao Miao: "..."

This must be my partner during my internship as a reporter, maybe a cameraman or something, but...

What big news is making you so excited? Could it be that zombies have been discovered?

Is it too late to leave the city now?

Xiao Miao glanced at the panel; the status bar did not display the words "Virus Infection".

fine...

At least in this world, the T-virus cannot be transmitted through the air.
