The second spin, the exclusion item... only one.
Ye Zhongming almost wanted to smash this Step Micro Disk.
He had never encountered such a troublesome roulette before.
Whether it was a regular roulette, a colorful roulette, or even the Devil's Bet Table, the competition of death roulette, Sea King Disk, or the National Specialty Disk, all exclusion techniques worked well and followed the same principles.
But he happened to encounter this Step Micro Disk, which not only started with only two items excluded but now only allowed for one exclusion.
Wouldn't that still mean facing two penalty items while spinning?
Ye Zhongming had already used up his second life earlier. If another deadly danger appeared, he indeed wouldn't die, but the cost would be the permanent disappearance of the Earth Spirit.
Now, the rewards on the roulette might not even be worth as much as the Earth Spirit; was it worth wasting the Earth Spirit for them?
After calming himself down, Ye Zhongming thought that if he could only exclude one item, it must be the all-reward explosion, because that penalty guaranteed a life loss.
The remaining two were the eighth-level life challenge, which was the reason for the current situation, but the mental curse...
Previously, Ye Zhongming didn't want to touch this penalty at all. Now, with the sudden change, he could only exclude one penalty. He had to consider whether he could endure this punishment.
In the end, Ye Zhongming decided to take the risk.
If he just gave up like this, he would be really unwilling. He would have wasted a second life that could only refresh once a year, and leaving empty-handed was unbearable.
Ye Zhongming asked everyone to step back again; he was about to start the second spin.
Some people say that luck often doesn't come when you seek it, but it will show up when you don't care at all.
For the second spin, Ye Zhongming was prepared to endure the mental curse; he was betting on his luck.
Of course, he also rationalized that even if his luck was really bad and he landed on a penalty item again, he believed this curse was merely a curse. It would draw some mental power but wouldn’t actually make his mental power disappear.
With his current mental power recovery speed, Ye Zhongming felt somewhat confident that he could withstand this curse.
The pointer continued to spin rapidly, showing no signs of stopping. Ye Zhongming stepped back a bit and patiently waited.
A few seconds later, the pointer suddenly stopped, pointing to...
A reward item!
Ye Zhongming and several others who had been paying attention to this side breathed a sigh of relief.
Spinning a roulette was almost driving everyone crazy.
Fortunately, the results were finally in their favor.
Four rewards: Seven-Star Evolution Potion, a set of two-piece purple defense equipment, a glowing scroll... and one more, a golden-level book landed this time.
Holding the book in his hand, Ye Zhongming didn't look at it right away but tried to continue excluding items from the roulette, only to receive a prompt: ... cannot use exclusion technique!
Ye Zhongming felt like cursing again.
This Step Micro Disk was practically working against him.
Now, among the six options, three were rewards and three were penalties, and none could be excluded. How could he spin again? What if it landed on the all-reward explosion penalty?
Looking at the golden book in his hand, he realized that opening it meant that the reward would completely belong to him. Once it did spin to the all-reward explosion, he would be blown up alongside it. Should he open it or not?
Just as Ye Zhongming was lost in thought, someone came over to find him, informing him about Red Hair going crazy in Cloud Summit.
Ye Zhongming simply put away the Step Micro Disk and the golden book; those matters could be discussed later.
Upon returning to Cloud Summit Villa, he saw Red Hair and her zombie subordinates confronting the warriors of Cloud Summit. They hadn’t fought yet, mainly because Red Hair had temporarily held back her attack. The genetically disordered Red Hair was somewhat calm at the moment, but the black lines on her face had yet to disappear, and her hair and thorns had been infected by each other's genes, displaying their traits.
