Doomsday Roulette

CHAPTER TEXT:

In the dim light of the Blue Secret Realm, the Step Micro Disk stood tall on the barren land, with several people around it displaying nervous expressions.

There were eight options, four rewards, and four punishments. Naturally, the reward items were exceptionally good, but right now, no one was focusing on the rewards; instead, they were all staring at the punishments.

Due to the potential emergency they might face soon, the two king zun, Hongxiang and Ling Kun, also learned what the punishments were. They looked at Ye Zhongming with complex expressions.

Even without Ye Zhongming saying anything, they understood why this young man was so determined to spin the disk despite the dangers—after all, it was because of the nine-star experts from the Temple of Dawn.

Although they didn’t know how Ye Zhongming was so certain that the Temple of Dawn would come in full force this time, they knew their companion wouldn’t deceive them. The fact that he was taking such a significant risk to spin the disk naturally meant he wanted to help the posthumous children.

However, the punishments displayed on the disk frightened them.

During a previous visit to Earth, the posthumous children had learned about the disk and understood the true function of magic crystals. Many of them had even spun the disk themselves.

But perhaps due to the differences in their species, their need for Evolution Potions was not as absolute as that of humans. Taking the potions could indeed enhance their power, but there were limitations. This made them less concerned about the disk.

Because Ye Zhongming could provide everything they needed, and it was much more suitable than them spinning the disk themselves.

Yet, this terrifying disk was something they were seeing for the first time, so it was impossible for them not to take it seriously.

Ye Zhongming invested a seventh-grade magic crystal and began his first spin.

He could only exclude two punishment options, and the first one he chose was naturally the all-reward self-explosion; that punishment was too terrifying—if selected, it meant death. The second exclusion option he chose was the mental curse.

Beyond the bug-like exclusion technique, the fundamental reason Ye Zhongming could become wealthy was his profession as a glorious artisan, supported by his vast mental power.

Not only was his mental power abundant, but it also recovered quickly. The Cloud Summit Team was now fully equipped in silver gear, while the Xia Bai Squad was fully outfitted in green gear, with at least one core member having blue equipment.

How did all this come about? It was all thanks to his immense mental power; otherwise, even if Ye Zhongming's artisan level was high, crafting one item each day would require several days of rest. Currently, it was estimated that he could only have a main battle team fully equipped in silver gear, let alone the large amount of gray and white equipment he provided for the posthumous children.

Therefore, after comparing the mental curse with the Bipolar Assault, he chose to exclude the former.

The remaining two punishment options were to challenge eighth-level life or face the Bipolar Assault.

The pointer on the disk spun rapidly, and its speed showed no sign of slowing down. Ye Zhongming thought for a moment, waved his hand to signal the others to step back further, and secretly activated his second life.

Back when he had killed Zhang Dalong on Yama Tree's territory, he obtained a fixed-form recipe, which was the aerli essence water.

After extracting the Essence Vein from the Yama Tree's body, Ye Zhongming had successfully created and consumed the essence water. His current strength was significantly related to this precious potion providing him with a second life.

This second life had two states: when not activated, it granted a 10% to 30% overall attribute boost depending on the quality of the Essence Vein. However, when activated, it allowed the body to have an extra life, protecting against fatal attacks.
