Doomsday Roulette

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what it meant.

The Mechanical Genius and the little girl were not present, so were the 573 points wasted? Earlier, when Ye Zhongming estimated his score after seeing everyone's numbers, he found he only had a little over 1600 points, which was quite different from the 2000 points others had estimated. Now that he saw the points earned by the Mechanical Genius and the little girl, he understood what had happened.

But were these points only meant to be seen and not used?

“Due to the presence of external factors, the 573 points are shared points and can be freely allocated.”

That voice appeared just in time, solving the dilemma for the few people.

Pao Bai smiled, “What a false alarm! I thought we were going to lose so many points, but it turns out we can allocate them freely. Lao Su, this is for you.”

Ye Zhongming nodded in agreement.

Jie Su shook his head, “I think we should treat this point total as a communal resource. We still need to repair equipment, buy full recovery agents, and so on.”

“This can come from the white dragon horse and me. If you can become a great master, it will be a huge help to us,” Ye Zhongming waved his hand.

Giving the points to Jie Su would be the most cost-effective decision.

If he gave Jie Su the 573 points earned by the Mechanical Genius and the little girl, Jie Su's total would become 1505, bringing him closer to the needed 5000 points.

Ye Zhongming selected some equipment to decompose for repairing his original gear. Since their pressure this time wasn’t too high, he only spent 100 points this time compared to the 200-300 points last time. After deducting from the white dragon horse, this fellow bought a dragon helm and a scale tail, leaving him with 156 points.

While the white dragon horse was selecting equipment, Ye Zhongming watched from the side. Just as the white dragon horse finished and was about to conclude, he suddenly stopped his battle beast.

“Exchange for this.”

Ye Zhongming pointed at something in the rewards pool.

Jie Su and Pao Bai leaned in to take a look and found it was a skill called ‘Radiant Breath’. The description indicated it was somewhat similar to dragon breath, but its purpose was not for attack but for defense.

It didn’t provide defense for itself but instead augmented the defense of others.

“When I break through to one hundred thousand fuleira, my dragon breath will show significant abilities,” the white dragon horse disagreed with this, fearing that learning this ability would affect its dragon breath capabilities when it matured.

This type of rebel dragon race would only gain dragon breath abilities upon maturity, which typically manifested as "brittleness," making the target's body extremely vulnerable. If the target had very low resistance, it could turn them into fragile bodies that could be shattered and lose their lives.

“It shouldn’t be a problem because your evolution priority when you mature is very high, it will override this ability,” Ye Zhongming explained, then added, “Also, once you use that agent, becoming a great master will be quite difficult. Once matured, your dragon breath may not even evolve.”

These words made the white dragon horse feel a deep malice.

However, after a moment's consideration, the white dragon horse followed Ye Zhongming's advice and exchanged for this ability worth 98 points.

The white dragon horse became a two-digit existence again, with only a pitiful 58 points left.

Pao Bai scanned around and exchanged 15 points for a Frenzy Pill, preparing to use it in a desperate situation. The side effects were naturally enormous; once used, whether he could last until passing the test was uncertain.

In this way, he accumulated 316 points.

Jie Su still didn’t exchange anything, maintaining his total at 1505, including the points from the Mechanical Genius and the little girl.

When it was Ye Zhongming's turn, he first chose a scroll.

“Zhong Ming, this type of scroll doesn’t have the power to kill the parasites we encounter,” Jie Su couldn't help but advise, “And the cost-performance ratio isn’t high either; 15 points is almost equivalent to crimson condensation level equipment.”
