Chapter 34 Roulette



Perhaps due to exhaustion, Liu Nian fell asleep at some point.

I glanced at my watch; nothing serious had happened, and it was eight o'clock again.

Dear viewers, the sixth day of our post-apocalyptic life has begun.

First, Tiffany and Liu Nian replenished their magic points for the day and then began summoning their respective helpers.

Thanks to yesterday's summoning, the number of ghouls has successfully increased to three. Once Liu Nian replenishes some mana, he will be able to successfully upgrade his Summon Skeleton skill to level four.

The thought of being able to summon four skeletons made Liu Nian a little excited.

Summoning classes rely on summoned creatures for a living, so the more summoned creatures the better.

A good day starts with a good mood, and to reward herself, Liu Nian specially fried an extra egg.

With food in hand, one has nothing to fear.

He changed into a clean set of clothes, humming a tune that was out of tune, and walked out of the house.

Xiao Hei flew down from the rooftop, landed on Liu Nian's palm, and lowered its head to peck at the rice.

I spent some time planning on the map last night, and today I'm going to check on the situation to the north.

Looking at the vast army of summoned creatures behind him, Liu Nian felt a surge of pride and waved his hand: "Northern Expeditionary Army, march!"

According to the map, there is a highway leading to the suburbs about 12 kilometers to the north, which is where Liu Nian's northern expedition is headed.

In case the city becomes too complicated in the future, I can still leave myself a way out and go back to the countryside.

As for her distant hometown, it's like an unattainable dream for Liu Nian now.

The main road was still completely blocked by vehicles. The luxury car that he could never afford with his salary was now ignored and quietly waiting for its destined owner.

The traffic was too congested, and Liu Nian was willing but unable to move the car.

He also considered traveling by bicycle, but the disconnect between a summoner and their summoned creatures is a very dangerous thing to do.

Walking and stopping frequently is too troublesome, so it's better to walk with your summoned creature.

Seeing the infected figure ahead, Liu Nian put down his baggage, picked up his spear, and walked forward.

After picking up the game coins that had fallen to the ground and counting them, Liu Nian realized that the group of eighteen infected individuals had contributed a total of twenty-three game coins to the team.

The current lineup of eight skeletons, three ghouls, and one skeleton mage can be described as utterly overwhelming these ordinary infected.

Moreover, ghouls can devour corpses, so they won't cause a plague due to the decay of the corpses.

As for their bottomless appetite and their ability to devour carcasses several times their own size, that remains an unsolved mystery.

Unfortunately, no cards were dropped, nor was there any twisted resentment or anything like that… uh…? Liu Nian shook his head regretfully.

Greed is a common human failing; people always crave more, and he was no exception.

They proceeded slowly, and what should have been a three-hour journey was now taking an unknown amount of time.

After walking for a while, an ice cream shop ahead caught Liu Nian's attention.

It wasn't because he suddenly wanted ice cream—after a three-day power outage, all ice cream should have melted—but because the room was radiating a burst of multicolored light.

It definitely wasn't coming from the neon sign. Like I said, where would the electricity come from to power neon lights?

Damn curiosity! Liu Nian looked down on himself as he approached.

This time the situation is different. It's a small shop, and you can see the whole interior through the glass doors and windows. You don't have to worry about encountering an invincible monster like yesterday.

The light emanates from inside the bar, and it's definitely worth exploring.

A spear pierced through the foreign zombie standing outside the bar, and three ghouls leaped over the glass counter, knocking down two infected people dressed as waiters inside, before feasting on them.

Seeing that there were no more living infected people in the store, Liu Nian directed Xiao Hei to patrol around the ice cream shop before going inside the bar.

Bypassing the three ghouls blocking the way, a roulette wheel in the corner of the bar quietly emitted an alluring glow.

It must be the game's doing again. No one would be stupid enough to put a roulette wheel in the bar area, taking up so little space.

As I approached the roulette wheel, sure enough, the system notification sounded.

[Player Liu Nian detected a random roulette wheel]

Yesterday I discovered the task distributor, and today I discovered this so-called roulette wheel.

Upon closer inspection of the roulette wheel in front of me, I discovered that six of the positions were already empty.

It seems someone beat them to it, but that's normal. It's been updated for a day now, so other players will inevitably discover new adventures.

There are some small words in the lower right corner of the roulette wheel, which roughly mean that the items in the roulette wheel are shared by all players, and you can draw a prize by inserting game coins.

Ten game coins are needed for one draw, and a ten-draw yields ninety coins.

After getting a general understanding of the rules of the roulette, Liu Nian took another look at the remaining items in the prize pool.

Most of them are resource cards, with only a very small number of items and equipment, and not a single skill book.

One of the equipment cards piqued Liu Nian's interest.

[Concealment Cloak]

Effect: Provides invisibility for the wearer in the dark, but the wearer must not make any movements, as any movement will destroy the invisibility effect.

Effect: Reduces the wearer's presence.

Note: You can't see me! You can't see me!

Invisibility—the dream outfit of so many boys!

So much so that even the neighboring island nation released a series on it. Ahem, I'm a respectable person, so of course I haven't seen it~ ahem ahem ahem.

Sorry, I've gone off-topic. Let's get back to the main point.

He took out the bag containing the game coins, and with the coins he had just obtained, he had a total of 351 coins.

Looking at the prize pool of the roulette wheel in front of me, there are only 44 draws left. I'm still a little short of winning it all.

Go and clear out some infected people first, but it's uncertain how many game coins they'll drop.

If someone takes advantage of this opening, who can I complain to?

But if I take the risk and actually get the guaranteed reward, wouldn't I be doing all the work for someone else?

Liu Nian was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

After much thought, it's no use. I'll just take a gamble! If it really doesn't appear, then it's just that I'm not meant to have it.

Liu Nian gritted his teeth and took out game coins, inserting them one by one into the coin slot of the roulette wheel.

After casting, select the 10-pull option in the bottom left corner of the roulette wheel.

As Liu Nian's finger fell, the roulette wheel shone brightly, and the pointer began to spin rapidly, missing the cloak and stopping in other places ten times in a row.

"Splash!"

Ten cards rolled out from the card dispenser below the roulette wheel.

Not winning, Liu Nian calmed herself down and put in another ninety game coins.

Still no luck.

Liu Nian hurriedly put another ninety game coins into the roulette wheel.

Still no result.

Looking at the dwindling prize pool inside the roulette wheel, Liu Nian gritted his teeth and continued to throw in game coins.

After failing seven times in a row, only one last chance remained.

"May the Bodhisattva bless me, I will wash my hands every day from now on, Amen, Amen," Liu Nian wiped the sweat from his palms haphazardly and put the last ten game coins into the roulette wheel.

"start"

As the hands began to spin, Liu Nian's heart spun along with them.

His eyes were fixed on the direction the pointer was spinning.

As the clock ticked slower and slower, Liu Nian's heart leaped into her throat.
