Chapter 54: The Human Clan’s Lair and a Second Identity!

Of course, only two options really made his adrenaline surge and sent tingles down his spine.

First, the wish card—a special option—was immediately passed over.

Because its effect...

Allowed players to pick exactly what they wanted from the spinning wheel!

Yes!

This ability was practically identical to Jiang Yi’s own luck when drawing prizes!

However, while Jiang Yi’s ability to designate rewards could be used repeatedly on all spinning wheels, the wish card was a one-time use item—once spent, it was gone!

Still, even as a single-use item, it was incredibly overpowered for ordinary players.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yi was no ordinary player.

For him, the wish card was utterly useless.

The option on the same special wheel that really excited Jiang Yi was—

The Beast’s Lair!

Jiang Yi had heard this term in his previous life from forum posts.

There had been a sensational auction heist at the Tianxin Base back then!

Usually, auction houses had powerful guards and special spatial restrictions to prevent players from using teleportation stones or similar spatial items.

But in that heist, a well-known powerhouse stole a rare item and vanished right before everyone’s eyes!

Later, when the news circulated on forums, some veteran players explained—

That thief had used the Beast’s Lair!

The Beast’s Lair was a space entirely belonging to its binder!

Certain special beast tribes were born with such lairs.

Other races could only get one by drawing this special option.

For beast tribes, it was called a lair.

For humans, a more fitting term might be—

Home?

When players chose to “go home” from anywhere, they weren’t using spatial abilities.

Rather, it was a kind of player function or rule-based ability.

That’s why the spatial restrictions at the auction house didn’t affect the powerful thief.

However, using a lair was like the Void Shadow—players returned to exactly the same spot they had left.

So that powerhouse stole the rare item and then hid inside the lair, never coming out again!

At least, by the time Jiang Yi had died in his previous life, there was no news of that thief ever emerging and being caught.

That guy was clearly a master of survival by any means!

What rare item was so valuable that a player dared such bold risks?

Jiang Yi had no idea.

No information had ever surfaced.

But it was easy to guess it must have been a truly extraordinary artifact.

The Beast’s Lair option—perfect for survivalists—was obviously perfect for Jiang Yi!

With this, he wouldn’t have to waste another ten years chasing Void Shadows in future draws!

And whenever he wanted to lay low, he could hide away in the Beast’s Lair and survive fiercely!

If other players hid in a Beast’s Lair, they might gradually fall behind and lose pace with stronger players.

But not Jiang Yi!

He could grow stronger even while lying low.

So, regardless of the wish card’s uselessness to him, even if it were a great special option, Jiang Yi would almost certainly choose the Beast’s Lair!

It was tailor-made for him!

Without hesitation, Jiang Yi placed his palm on the special wheel.

As the prompt appeared, he silently declared: “I choose 6: Beast’s Lair!”

This time, there was no spinning wheel sound.

Instead, a game announcement echoed directly in his mind:

“Ding! Congratulations, you have drawn the Beast’s Lair! Bind it?”

“Yes/No?”

Huh? He could choose whether to bind it?

Since Jiang Yi had chosen it, of course he would bind it.

Without hesitation, he thought: “Yes!”

“Binding your Human Lair...”

“Ding—”

“Binding successful!”

This binding process made Jiang Yi realize more clearly—

The Beast’s Lair wasn’t simply an alternate dimension; it was a fully integrated player function!

Sure enough, when his consciousness sank into his mind, he found a new player function had appeared: “Human Lair”!

At the same time, he felt a special awareness stir within him.

With a thought, the next moment—

He was transported to another space!

Huh?

The lair looked like a pitch-black cave.

It was roughly five square meters in size.

Empty, utterly barren.

Most of the curved surfaces were gray rock walls of unknown material.

The cave entrance was shrouded in darkness, as if sealed by some barrier that made it impossible to see outside.

Jiang Yi pondered briefly, then reached out to the dark, sealed entrance.

His hand seemed to touch an invisible barrier.

At the same time, a prompt sounded in his mind—

“Current lair level insufficient!”

Lair level?

Meaning if he upgraded the lair...

He could break through the entrance barrier and leave?

But what would happen after leaving?

Would he simply expand his territory?

Or would he enter a special space?

Jiang Yi was curious but didn’t yet know how to upgrade the lair.

Maybe through more draws?

Or perhaps some special beast tribes born with lairs had methods to upgrade them?

He didn’t dwell on it and continued to explore the small cave.

Overall, he was quite satisfied with this lair!

Though small, it was completely his private space.

Without the pressure of job changes, he could hide here forever!

Unfortunately, with job changes and level restrictions, plus no extra currency to buy more spins, he couldn’t linger indefinitely.

His attention shifted to another special wheel.

Two options stood out—

The Servant Card and the Identity Card.

The Servant Card granted an absolutely loyal servant.

For example, You Xue was likely obtained by You Yu through a Servant Card.

Otherwise, normal wheels wouldn’t yield a succubus!

If Jiang Yi used the Servant Card, he’d immediately gain a loyal minion.

But servants obtained this way were random.

Despite You Xue’s stunning appearance, Jiang Yi might just as well draw a pig...

The Identity Card was another option that truly ignited his passion!

Its chance on the special wheel was minuscule—less than five in a thousand!

Few players dared to draw the special wheel.

Even fewer managed to get the Identity Card!

But for Jiang Yi, no matter how small the probability, if it was on the wheel, he could specify it!

Without hesitation, he abandoned the Servant Card and designated the Identity Card!

As his heart stirred, a prompt sounded in his mind again:

“Ding! Congratulations, you drew the Identity Card! Use it?”

“Yes/No?”

Of course: “Yes!”

“Generating new identity for you...”

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have obtained a new player identity: Zhang San!”
