In the new district base, among the three wheels, Li Qiang controlled a Grade 1 wheel in addition to one Grade 2 wheel.
The formula he had should have come from the wheel.
As for why Chef Jin and Director Wang allowed Li Qiang to control one, it was evident that after the formula was spun out, the wheel here had become no different from other Grade 1 wheels. Therefore, it wasn't worth fighting over.
But for Ye Zhongming, this was the best outcome; with his beginner exclusion technique, the more ordinary the wheel he used, the higher the chance of landing on an Evolution Potion.
After considering it for a moment, Li Qiang nodded in agreement. Although he had a gun, he didn't use it when going out to hunt. After all, ammunition was limited; using some meant less for later. He still needed to keep some for defense against Director Wang and Chef Jin, so acquiring magic crystals at no cost was a tempting offer he couldn't refuse.
Moreover, during the days he occupied the wheel, aside from the formula he had spun out, his luck had been remarkably poor. He had failed to obtain even a single bottle of Evolution Potion after more than a dozen tries, which left him feeling somewhat despondent. These magic crystals were enough for him to take another shot at luck.
He brought Ye Zhongming and Jia Min to a nearby building, where they saw a wheel standing in the already deactivated elevator shaft, casting a faint glow around it.
Li Qiang and his four subordinates stepped back a bit, allowing space for the wheel.
Jia Min was visibly excited and nervous; he had only seen the wheel from a distance before and was now touching this miraculous object for the first time.
Ye Zhongming took a look; this wheel required only six Grade 1 magic crystals to spin since the best formula had already been obtained. Aside from One-Star Evolution Elixirs, there were no other enticing items on the wheel.
Under the watchful eyes of those around, Ye Zhongming began to spin the wheel.
He had gathered over a hundred Grade 1 magic crystals, enough to spin twenty times. After consecutive uses of the exclusion technique, the wheel kept flashing and spinning, causing items to tumble out of the reward box.
Everyone, including Li Qiang, looked somewhat dumbfounded, as this was the first time they had seen someone spin the wheel so many times in succession.
Ye Zhongming was lucky today; out of twenty spins, he obtained three bottles of One-Star Evolution Elixirs, averaging less than seven spins per elixir.
One of Li Qiang’s subordinates tugged at his sleeve and gestured towards Ye Zhongming. Li Qiang's expression showed signs of hesitation, but after a moment's thought, he shook his head.
Even though Li Qiang was not an evolver, perhaps due to his background as a professional shooter, his insight was always sharp. He sensed a hint of danger from the young man spinning the wheel and was unsure of the outcome if he decided to act at that moment.
Another reason Li Qiang refrained from acting was that his twin guns were holstered on either side of his thigh, allowing him to strike at any moment. However, the young man always seemed to hide behind his companions, blocking Li Qiang's shooting angle.
Since the first Evolution Potion was spun out, Li Qiang subconsciously sought an opportunity to attack but found none, realizing that Ye Zhongming had already prepared for this. If he acted without hitting his target immediately, the consequences could be dire.
Li Qiang understood that even if Ye Zhongming were ultimately killed by his men, if he encountered trouble, everything would be meaningless.
So he held back because he lacked absolute confidence.
When Ye Zhongming turned around and smiled at Li Qiang, that smile sent a chill down Li Qiang's spine. He was certain that this man knew what he and his subordinates had been planning. Ye Zhongming was already prepared!
Ye Zhongming walked over to Li Qiang, causing Li Qiang's men to nervously raise their guns.
In his palm were three bottles of enhancement potions, held before Li Qiang, the temptation causing him to swallow repeatedly.
