There are many types. The vast majority are of ordinary grade, with a few rare ones, such as the Colorful Roulette and the Treasure Gathering Roulette.
But just like the rules of this world, the rarer they are, the more precious they become; the same goes for the types of roulette. The Colorful Roulette represents valuable professions, the Treasure Gathering Roulette signifies the quantity of treasures, while the golden roulette that Ye Zhongming refers to as the Devil's Bet Table represents risks.
It is enormous, with high stakes, and almost a life-or-death risk. Without shengyuan, even if Ye Zhongming knew there was a Devil's Bet Table here, he wouldn't dare come, as it would be akin to seeking death.
But now, with shengyuan, Ye Zhongming is willing to take the gamble.
"What the hell is this?" Little Tiger ran a few steps, circling the gigantic special roulette, confused about how such a thing could exist in this deep mountain forest, and how it was different from other roulettes he had seen.
The beautifully circular dashboard of other roulettes is replaced by a rectangular body, which has a spotlight-like fixture on top... and the rectangular body is divided into four equal white square sections.
On the roulette's control panel, there are no embedding holes for magic crystals but instead, a sunken semicircular hole with an open white cover that looks somewhat like a miniaturized combination of the Sydney Opera House.
Next to the small hole, under the four squares, there are four vertical coin slots lined up—it’s unclear what they are used for.
The reward box, however, resembles that of other roulettes, occupying the other side of the control panel in a square shape.
"How is this different from other roulettes?" Le Da Yuan, who comes from a technical background, is naturally interested in this unmovable, indestructible lottery device. Now that he sees something so distinct, his eyes light up. However, he knows he won't have a chance to study it for now, so he can only ask Ye Zhongming, who seemingly predicted their arrival here.
"This is the Devil's Bet Table."
Ye Zhongming's expression is somewhat complex.
In fact, regardless of the type of rare roulette, the names are given by people, and this one is no exception. Initially, people called it the Golden Roulette, but as they learned more about it, they started calling it the Devil's Bet Table.
This is a high-risk, high-reward gambling roulette.
If you win, you might obtain rewards beyond your imagination. If you lose, you might end your journey in the apocalypse, becoming a pile of decaying limbs and severed arms.
After understanding the characteristics of this roulette, in his previous life, people typically came here to draw lots in groups, like war teams, companies, etc., as if facing a great enemy. Only by doing so could they minimize the death rate and maximize the cost-effectiveness of a single spin.
Strictly speaking, Ye Zhongming is somewhat reckless today.
However, although this roulette is dangerous, Ye Zhongming’s current evolution level is relatively low. The magic crystal that can provide energy to start the Devil's Bet Table is also of a lower level, meaning the corresponding risks are not high. Coupled with the presence of shengyuan and the team, it’s not impossible to take a chance.
Aside from these factors, Ye Zhongming also knows that as the apocalypse deepens, his level may still far exceed that of most evolvers, but eventually, there will be some fortunate ones, supported by powerful factions, who will be trained to reach heights similar to his.
His advantage comes from having been reborn, but he doesn't have the innate foundation that many others possess.
Thus, deep down, he feels a twinge of anxiety; he must maintain his lead in evolution level to fully exploit the advantages of reincarnation, so he can reach for many good things ahead of others.
So he came here, deciding to take a gamble.
“Teacher Park, stand next to me later, but you don’t need to protect me. Focus your energy on shengyuan, and give him a shield at the most dangerous moment.”
