Doomsday Roulette

Ye Zhongming did not immediately assemble the puzzle but instead walked over to the Sailor's Dream Flower Field.

He was still in a weakened state from the effects of this item.

Squatting beside the flowers, Ye Zhongming looked around and used some crafting skills on this special equipment.

Perhaps because its original owner had left this space, a separation effect occurred, allowing Ye Zhongming to truly 'contaminate' the equipment. After a series of enchantments and modifications, it was indeed taken in by Ye Zhongming.

Looking at a handful of seeds that he held, Ye Zhongming felt a little surprise.

He had only heard about the Sailor's Dream Flower Field equipment before, but now that it had become his trophy, Ye Zhongming finally had a clearer understanding of it.

This equipment could actually be upgraded, and the method of upgrading was somewhat similar to that of the carnivorous plant, requiring the flesh or the essence blood of mutated life forms.

Although the energy required for each level-up was immense, Ye Zhongming was still happy. After all, acquiring the flesh of mutated life was quite easy, but upgrading scrolls or Unsealing Liquid were rare treasures.

After transforming the Sailor's Dream Flower Field into his own, Ye Zhongming's weakened state naturally lifted, making him feel much better. The previous sensation of weakness and dizziness was indeed unpleasant.

At the same time, Ye Zhongming also felt that the energy restrictions of the space had dissipated, returning to a normal state. He stood up and looked at the wall that had previously acted like a monitor; all those spaces containing Nourishing Life Soil had vanished, indicating that this special roulette space was entering its final phase.

After collecting the Nourishing Life Soil left behind by the rebels, prying off several usable pieces of Rong Clan Holy Armor from Jas's corpse, and taking Anman's equipment and fist guards, Ye Zhongming finally completed the assembly of the puzzle.

Immediately, a beam of light erupted, blinding Ye Zhongming as he instinctively raised his arm to shield his eyes.

However, this light did not cause any harm; instead, Ye Zhongming felt something standing on his shoulder.

This frightened him considerably. Now that Ye Zhongming's body had benefited from the Earth equipment's enhancement, he was not easily surprised. If anything approached within a hundred meters, he would detect it.

But now this entity had managed to sneak up on him unnoticed, making him feel fearful.

“Daddy, are you scared?”

Ye Zhongming almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Dad... Dad?!

Who is calling him Dad?

Ye Zhongming had no descendants in either his past or present life, and now someone was suddenly calling him Dad, which truly startled him.

He quickly turned his head and saw a chubby, rosy-cheeked baby sitting on his shoulder. The baby held a small dark brown shield in one hand while the other finger was stuck in its mouth, gazing at Ye Zhongming with adorable eyes.

What… is this?

Ye Zhongming swallowed. Although he was no longer tense and realized this little guy might be the final reward of the roulette, his heart was still incredulous.

This reward… rewarded him with a son?!

This is simply… indescribably good.

However, Ye Zhongming quickly noticed something different about this 'son.'

Although the baby looked very similar, upon closer inspection, it was apparent that this little one was illusory.

It was an energy entity.

“Daddy, I'm hungry.”

The baby, no larger than an adult man's palm, pouted, and drool was already forming in its mouth.

Hearing the word "Daddy," Ye Zhongming's body trembled, and he was at a loss for words.

But looking at this adorably needy little one, who was expressing hunger while pressing the dark brown shield the size of a router onto its chubby belly, Ye Zhongming felt that not giving it food would be a grave sin.

Oh, and just to note, this was a naked child, a little boy with a little appendage.

But what to feed him?
