Roulette has always been something people in the apocalypse long for and pursue.
Although Ye Zhongming had seen plenty of them at Cloud Summit, he had never encountered a foreign roulette before. Additionally, the lookout post wasn't manned by someone inexperienced; the addition of the word "seems" indicated something was off.
Ye Zhongming immediately took the binoculars and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a roulette-shaped object standing in the desert. The reason the lookout post was uncertain was that this roulette looked somewhat unusual.
It seemed a bit large.
Of course, compared to the accurately exchanged roulette he had seen before, this one didn't seem impressive at all. But compared to the ordinary ones, it was indeed a bit bigger.
A special roulette?!
Ye Zhongming's earlier frustration about not finding Haman Dan and encountering strange zombies was instantly swept away.
A special roulette! This was simply something he had dreamed of.
Just thinking about how many good things he had obtained from the special roulette helped him understand his feelings—Crystal Energy Magic Bullet Gun, Frontline Thunderous Mechanic, Sea King Crown, professional scrolls, Earth Spirit… and so on.
If he could really find a special roulette here, it would make up for the regret of not getting Stardust Sand.
"Let's go check it out."
With his team, Ye Zhongming quickly arrived in front of the roulette, but when he looked at the wheel, he was stunned.
This roulette didn’t seem special at all.
Looking at the colors of the magic crystals on the wheel, it should be a fifth-level roulette. The ten rewards on it were fairly standard—there were Evolution Potions and various weapon equipment.
At least from these, it didn't seem special in any way.
What was going on?
Ye Zhongming turned around, looking for any abnormalities. Could it be that the roulettes in West Asia were just larger than those in the Chinese region?
Soon, he dismissed this absurd thought—if the roulettes were indeed the same, and if this one was just a bit bigger, it clearly indicated it was a special roulette; he just hadn't found a way to use it yet.
After a moment of thought, Ye Zhongming decided to give it a spin.
Whether it was a special roulette would be revealed with a simple attempt.
Ye Zhongming took out a fifth-level magic crystal and placed it in the slot to start spinning. Since this was just an experiment, he didn't use the exclusion technique.
The pointer quickly stopped on a reward item, which was a device that could assist in activating equipment, falling under the category of roulette technology.
However, something abnormal happened immediately.
Normally, the item should have appeared in the pickup box, but now, this roulette showed no response!
Stuck? That was Ye Zhongming's first thought, but he quickly dismissed it—this wasn't the internet; how could it get stuck? Then, was it broken? That was even less likely—he had never heard of a roulette breaking.
So, what was going on?
Ye Zhongming forced himself to calm down. He observed carefully and found that the equipment he had spun to had vanished from the wheel.
This… was that item a special reward?
But it didn’t look like it at all; even if it was a special reward, where did the item go?
Ye Zhongming stared at the roulette for a while, then invested another fifth-level magic crystal and began the second spin, this time using the exclusion technique.
But to his surprise, the exclusion technique failed.
This incredible ability of his only malfunctioned on the Step Micro Disk; it wasn’t completely useless. Yet here, it had completely failed?
The spin commenced again, and this time, he was rewarded with an item, but just like the first time, the item he landed on still didn’t appear.
This was far too abnormal.
Ye Zhongming, with a hint of stubbornness, spun it a third time, and the result was the same—no reward, but the images on the wheel disappeared.
"Could it be that this is the special aspect?" Xia Bai remarked as she observed the situation, sharing her speculation.
