Opportunities to turn one’s life around rarely ca more than once in one’s entire lifeti. Jia Gui understood how precious this one was, and he decided to stake everything on it. He would prove that he wasn’t a burden to his team.
The Slot Machine kept chiming as he won repeatedly. Notifications flooded in until Comrce tuned them out. The winning odds had been abysmal, yet Jia Gui continued to hit winning results.
Is the system skewed to favor the weak? Comnce wondered.
Jia Gui emptied his gold reserves and unlocked 52% of his strength, 45 Ability Slots, and 41 Equipnt Slots. He was now several hundred tis stronger and the strongest mber of the team.
“Xiu Lian, can you forge a pair of boots that increase my speed? I will run to their side, smash their crystal, and be back before you know it.” Jia Gui chuckled, his confidence finally justified.
The livestream erupted.
“Has everything changed? Did he save the world in a past life?”
“Jia Gui is my idol from now on!”
“He couldn’t do anything, and now he’s dominating. This is insane!”
“He turned the tide. Go, Senior Jia Gui!”
The two emcees fell silent. Several seconds passed before they recovered. They had witnessed various winning strategies: swarm tactics, precision sniping, even suicidal detonations that traded one life for three.
All of them could be replicated, except this one. The new tactic that relied entirely on luck and reckless gambling. Obtaining the special equipnt Slot Machine was already rare, and replicating Jia Gui’s outrageous streak of fortune was even less likely.
Qiu Yun finally managed a single sentence. “I suppose nothing in this world is fixed.”
Yu ng nodded. “Agreed.”
Jia Gui’s explosive growth made the other three realize that they had a rare opportunity to end the match swiftly. They gathered every material they possessed at the plaza and commissioned Comrce to forge the equipnt.
With abundant resources at his disposal, he forged a lot of equipnt. At Jia Gui’s request, he produced twenty-one pairs of speed-enhancing boots.
Once Jia Gui equipped them all, he beca a blur.
“Alright, wait for my good news!” he called, then sprinted alone toward the enemies’ territory.
Comrce waved him off, then glanced at the Slot Machine. If Jia Gui could do it, why not him? He was the Slot Machine’s owner. With a bit of luck, he could beco the second Jia Gui. If that happened, victory would be certain. He could even demand a greater reward from Han Wu later.
He decided to bet on it. He scratched his white hair and tossed 10 gold into the Slot Machine to test his luck.
The machine spun and displayed the results for everyone to see. The viewers leaned in, their reactions mixed with anticipation and dread. The good news: three identical markings. The bad news: all Blank.
No one could tell if he was unlucky or not. The sa result occurred all ten tis, and Comrce almost died of frustration.
Li Xiulian, the Comrce God King, had traveled and traded across thousands of worlds. This was the stupidest slot machine he had ever encountered, and it belonged to him!
“I will break you if you don’t let win!” he barked.
After issuing his threat, he placed another unit of gold. This ti, it responded. The first cylinder stopped on the pattern that unlocked 1% of his strength. The second landed on the sa symbol. The third cylinder slowed, ticking toward a stop.
Comrce readied himself for his reward. The third cylinder clicked into place on the sa pattern. Then the entire Slot Machine exploded, and the blast hurled Comrce backward!
Laughter erupted across the livestream. The viewers sympathized, but they laughed all the sa.
“What just happened? Did it destroy itself? Don’t tell the Slot Machine ca from the Comrce God King’s rival.”
“The Slot Machine’s explosion was only ten percent funny. Watching the Comrce God King go flying was one million percent funnier.”
“The Slot Machine made it clear that it would only accept ten rolls at a ti.”
The explosion left Comrce physically unhard but deeply shaken. The blast scarred his mind, and he would need ti to recover.
The Divine Civilization is progressing smoothly. Oracle of the Divine River Civilization observed Jia Gui’s upgrades and the Slot Machine’s explosion in full detail. His title was no exaggeration. He truly was the Divine River Civilization’s foremost sensory-type Super Genesoldier.
“One of them has grown considerably stronger. If this continues, we may lose,” he warned his teammates.
As the team leader, Torrent decided to proceed with Plan B. Both Carnage and Selene agreed.
For the first ti since the battle started, Oracle left his position and moved to the middle lane, while Carnage ran back to the plaza. Selene had already prepared the second summoning array to summon another 1,000 goblins.
This ti, however, they weren’t sent to attack. They were Carnage’s fuel. He slaughtered them all, and his power swelled as their broken corpses piled at his feet. When the last of them fell, he signaled for Selene to continue.
She summoned another 1,000, and Carnage cut them down without pause, growing stronger with each kill.
anwhile, Jia Gui reached the enemy side thanks to his twenty-one pairs of boots. With that much equipnt, he had indeed beco the fastest among them.
“Hehe, I can already taste my victory. I’m coming!” Jia Gui shouted gleefully as he crossed into the Divine River Civilization’s plaza.
He suddenly stopped when he saw the crystal floating above a huge pile of corpses. Blood and viscera soaked the ground. Carnage stood atop the pile of corpses, radiating a suffocating bloodlust. His eyes were sharp like blades.
Jia Gui’s legs nearly gave out. He had a feeling that he would die the mont he got close. However, if he didn’t approach, how could he destroy the crystal? He didn’t know what to do.
Carnage suddenly raised his blade and descended from the pile of corpses asured steps. Each footfall stirred the reek of blood, thickening the air.
The pressure broke Jia Gui’s composure. He lost control of his bladder, then turned and fled. Windrun showed its value here as he moved with explosive speed.
By the ti Carnage’s blade had fully risen, Jia Gui had already disappeared from sight.
The livestream audience struggled to comprehend what they had just witnessed. Several seconds passed before soone comnted.
“Wait, that’s it?”
“I thought I saw Senior Jia Gui. That had to be a dream.”
“You aren’t dreaming. He showed up and left a puddle of piss to prove it.”
“A weakling remains a weakling even after ascending into a God...”
