Rule 1 for usage: Within twenty-four hours, the roulette wheel can only be spun three times. At midnight each day, the usage count will reset to zero.
Rule 2 for usage: If one is willing to offer a fragment of God's Stone, a punishment can be removed from the roulette wheel and a reward can be added.
Note: As this item is not owned by the holder, only one spin of the roulette wheel is permitted, and God's Stone fragments cannot be used to remove punishments and add rewards.
Loki's Gachapon Machine...
Loki's Lucky Roulette...
These two items are both from the God of Mischief series, and their rules are similar. In fact, in Bai Ye's previous life, he had the opportunity to obtain Loki's Lucky Roulette.
At that time, after Bai Ye completed the mission, the reward was actually a choice of three.
They were Loki's Gachapon Machine, Loki's Lucky Roulette, and Loki's Dice.
Ultimately, Bai Ye chose Loki's Gachapon Machine.
However, although the gameplay is similar, the nature of the Gachapon Machine and the Lucky Roulette is still different.
The Gachapon Machine can dispense various items from capsules, but the Lucky Roulette is not like that; it provides buffs and debuffs.
The entire roulette wheel has 108 spaces, with 72 reward spaces and 36 punishment spaces. Simply put, there is a two-thirds probability of a reward and a one-third probability of a punishment. Both rewards and punishments are divided into three levels, with level three being the weakest and level one being the strongest.
From a probability standpoint, it's quite worth a gamble, but it's not that simple.
This is because not all buffs are useful. For example, buffs to physical attributes are definitely useful. However, sometimes it might buff an ability. If an ability like the Poison-Poison Fruit were to receive a buff, that would be great, but what if it's a white-quality ability?
A white-quality ability becoming green quality...
Is that meaningful?
This was also the reason Bai Ye abandoned the Lucky Roulette in his previous life.
At that time, Bai Ye had no memories of reincarnation. He didn't have such a clear focus on acquiring items and abilities. In the early stages, as long as he could become stronger, Bai Ye would do anything, so he ended up with a lot of miscellaneous items and abilities. The chance of being screwed over by the Lucky Roulette was too high.
He never expected to see this thing again in this life.
Thinking to himself, Bai Ye reached out and grabbed the roulette wheel, giving it a powerful spin.
Since it wasn't a possessed item, Bai Ye only had one chance to spin the roulette wheel, and he couldn't use God's Stone fragments. There was nothing to overthink, so he spun it!
The roulette wheel whirred and whirred, its speed gradually decreasing from fast to slow, and soon it came to a stop.
"Randomly upgrade the quality of one special ability."
Looking at the stopped roulette wheel, Bai Ye's face lit up with joy.
He had three special abilities: Paper God, Phoenix, and Poison-Poison Fruit.
The best outcome would be the Poison-Poison Fruit, and the worst would be Paper God. Moreover, even if Paper God was upgraded...
Actually, the Paper God ability wasn't bad, it was just a bit inconvenient to use. Bai Ye didn't have many decks of playing cards on hand. Secondly, Bai Ye had the Seven-Colored Rainbow Flying Sword, whose combat effect was similar to flying playing cards, making the Paper God ability not particularly necessary and less powerful.
Therefore, the Paper God ability was somewhat redundant, but occasionally had miraculous effects.
For example, during the Twelve Great Battles.
Then...
"Your Phoenix has been temporarily upgraded to Black quality, and you have temporarily gained a new ability: Flame Burst."
Flame Burst: Can detonate phoenix flames at any time, causing secondary damage.
Bai Ye was speechless. One-third of the probability had gone astray.
However, it didn't go astray on Paper God, but on Phoenix...
It was passable!
He couldn't say he was satisfied, nor could he say he was dissatisfied.
"I'll make do with it!"
Bai Ye casually put the item away. Although the item was still there, he could no longer spin it again.
Having played with the Gachapon Machine, Bai Ye stretched his limbs. His wounds had healed, but his body was clearly still a bit uncomfortable. With a little more rest, he should be able to recover to normal combat levels.
"It's just too boring waiting," Bai Ye muttered. "Should I write a letter to Jinsha for fun?"
Bai Ye casually summoned a white dove from his possessed items.
Carrier Pigeon (Item) (White): Can write letters to a designated target and deliver them via carrier pigeon.
Rule 1: The target must be someone who has been met before.
Rule 2: Regardless of the distance or how many regions are crossed, the carrier pigeon's delivery speed is 72 hours.
Rule 3: The carrier pigeon can be killed during delivery.
After completing the mission of helping the Penguin Man rob, in addition to the sin points, there was also a bank card with three million, usable only within the City of Sin. In addition, there was a carrier pigeon.
The Penguin Man was skilled in training birds. Legend had it that all the birds in the City of Sin obeyed him. These birds were equivalent to the Penguin Man's eyes, allowing him to monitor everything in the City of Sin. Therefore, it wasn't too surprising for Bai Ye to get a carrier pigeon.
Although it was a white-quality item, communication tools were too scarce, so the carrier pigeon was definitely a good thing. Although the 72-hour delivery time was a bit of a hassle, what more could one ask for from a white-quality item?
The requirement of having met before was also not a problem. Why would he write to someone he hadn't met when he was bored?
However, the fact that the carrier pigeon could be killed during delivery greatly annoyed Bai Ye.
Going to places like the Jura Great Forest would be out of the question, as there were many flying monsters that would attack the carrier pigeon. Moreover, what if he encountered someone greedy who wanted to eat roast pigeon along the way?
But now that he had it, he wanted to try it out.
The question was, what should he write?
"Have you eaten yet?"
"A day without you feels like three autumns..."
"Hou fei hou, wang fei wang, I eat jelly, Xizhilang..."
Bai Ye sighed. He decided not to write a letter. It seemed he truly had nothing to ask Jinsha about.
Suddenly, his stomach rumbled. Bai Ye rubbed it and stretched his limbs. His body seemed to have recovered more. Bai Ye then turned and put away the carrier pigeon and left the rooftop.
Taking the elevator to leave the building, Bai Ye looked around at the brightly lit surroundings.
The City of Sin during the day was a false City of Sin.
The City of Sin at night was the true City of Sin.
Real crimes began with the arrival of night, and at night, the City of Sin was more of a mockery.
In the towering restaurants, wealthy people held parties and dances. The grand theater was brightly lit, and in the nightclubs, people sang and danced every night.
However, just one street away in the slums, girls walked trembling, clutching their bags. Ruthless thugs broke into the homes of elderly people living alone, robbing them of their possessions. Even beggars on the street were not safe; even half a piece of bread, if not eaten quickly, would be snatched away by others.
After midnight, there was no order in the City of Sin!
This was the City of Sin, a city whose existence was distorted, ironic, and a despicable nightmare.
