Chapter 59: Lucky Effect! Borrowing the Wheel for a Draw!

???
The words slipped out.
The envious and jealous gazes instantly twisted into looks as if they wanted to strangle him on the spot!
Liao Yuanfeng’s expression was equally stunned!
“You kid, have you never read the strategy posts on the forum, or haven’t you been beaten enough by the apocalypse?!”
“Not joining the Fortune Club? Then what exactly do you want to do? Fly to the heavens?!”
In these times, the speed of personal growth is very likely slower than that of joining a powerful faction or group.
Moreover, different factions treat their formal members differently depending on their types.
Take the siblings You Yu and You Xue, for example.
They joined the Fortune Club directly as formal players.
Although they came in as formal members, comparatively, the club tends to value those formal players who were born and bred within the club, having transitioned from the suicide squads.
Because such players are essentially raised by the club.
People like that—
Firstly, they are well-known and trustworthy;
Secondly, they have a stronger sense of belonging to the club.
It’s akin to the old society where household slaves naturally held a higher status than newly purchased slaves from outside!
Jiang Yi’s situation could barely be considered as having grown within the Fortune Club.
The treatment and attention he could receive in the Fortune Club would certainly be far better than joining other factions!
Liao Yuanfeng, afraid Jiang Yi didn’t understand, was about to explain this advantage to him.
However, Jiang Yi still wore a casual expression, raising an eyebrow and jokingly said:
“Not exactly flying to the heavens, but I do have some plans to shake things up.”
Shake things up...
“...” Liao Yuanfeng’s mouth twitched slightly, about to say something, then suddenly realized—
Jiang Yi’s name!
“Don’t tell me...”
Liao Yuanfeng’s eyes widened instantly!
Before he could finish, he changed his words: “Among those impersonators of ‘Jiang Yi’ on the forum, don’t tell me you’re one of them?”
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow but didn’t reply.
Liao Yuanfeng’s eyelids twitched again, his mood growing complicated!
One must admit, people are different in this world.
Some seek comfort, valuing survival above all else.
Others crave excitement and danger, rushing headlong into peril wherever it lies!
Liao Yuanfeng never expected Jiang Yi, who looked calm and steady with a peaceful demeanor, to have such a thrill-seeking and troublemaking nature deep down!
Thinking about it this way, it wasn’t surprising that he had experienced some extraordinary encounters.
According to Liao Yuanfeng’s experience, those who loved excitement and ran toward danger typically took off faster.
But they also died quicker!
If Jiang Yi really had that personality...
Liao Yuanfeng frowned as he looked at him.
He was about to say more when Jiang Yi suddenly blurted out boldly:
“Brother Liao, didn’t you just gain something from that strange black symbol?”
At this, Liao Yuanfeng’s expression changed: “What do you mean?”
“Nothing else, just... I’m wondering...”
Jiang Yi’s tone sounded like a joking banter between brothers: “Brother Liao, do you still have any time coins? Lend me some, will you?”
“...Lend?” Liao Yuanfeng’s face grew even more serious.
“Yes, lend.” Jiang Yi explained earnestly, “I have a blessing effect that boosts luck about to expire, so I want to spin a few more wheels before it runs out to see if I can get a windfall.”
“A blessing that boosts luck!” Liao Yuanfeng was shocked.
But the more he thought about it, the more he understood why Jiang Yi had risen so quickly!
On the fate wheel, various time-limited effects appear.
There are curses and blessings.
And a blessing that adds luck, at certain special moments, is even more precious than an elixir of longevity!
Most people might never get such an effect in their entire lives!
Liao Yuanfeng’s eyes rolled as he asked, “What color wheel do you want to spin? I still have a few wheels here that I can lend you in an emergency...”

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up as he asked directly, “Do you have a purple one?”
???
Liao Yuanfeng’s eyelids twitched violently again.
But soon, he and his team all inhaled sharply!
They stared at Jiang Yi with stunned expressions as if seeing a ghost!
Because the purple wheel...
Consumes a thousand years of lifespan each time!
One spin costs a thousand years of life!
How long does it take an ordinary player to accumulate a thousand years of lifespan?!
Most people don’t even have the guts for that!
Yet now, this guy who was a mere growth parasite yesterday, actually dared to ask if he had a purple wheel today?!
Liao Yuanfeng didn’t know whether Jiang Yi was just all talk or if he really had the capital and guts to spin the purple wheel.
After calming down, he gritted his teeth and explained:
“Purple wheel! Do you think it’s some flea market trash?”
“At this stage, even the top players are only level 10!”
“Even a team of ten level 10 players can’t easily get a purple wheel!”
“Do you think I’m just a regular member in the club and have a purple wheel lying around?”
Jiang Yi wasn’t surprised by Liao Yuanfeng’s answer.
In fact, he hadn’t seen any purple wheels for sale in the trading zone either.
Not even the lowest quality ones.
It seemed that during this period, purple wheels were indeed scarce resources.
“I see... then what about blue wheels? Do you have any, Captain Liao? Preferably ones with the elixir of longevity option?”
“...”
Liao Yuanfeng bit his lip again and flipped his hand. Sure enough, a palm-sized blue wheel appeared.
“It does have the elixir of longevity option, but it’s a trash quality. If you don’t like it...”
“No, I don’t mind!”
Jiang Yi snatched the blue wheel immediately.
Then!
In full view of everyone!
Almost with the speed of lightning and deafening silence!
He pressed the wheel and shouted “Spin!”
Such recklessness stunned Liao Yuanfeng into silence!
Alongside his shock was a surge of frustration!
What the hell?!
It’s a blue wheel! You spin it so recklessly?!
Who doesn’t prepare and brace themselves before spinning a wheel?!
What if a powerful beast pops out and slaps you dead?!
It could even drag down the people around you!
Liao Yuanfeng cursed in his heart, mentally scolding Jiang Yi’s ancestors and all their kin!
He felt this kid’s steady demeanor was pure pretense!
Damn, he was so reckless! Like a reckless, wild youth!
Yet...
Despite the anger, he was also thinking about running away at the first sign of danger.
But then he heard the prompt from the blue wheel ring out clearly—
【Ding——】
【Congratulations! You’ve drawn a reward: Elixir of Longevity!】
???
What???
Spun so recklessly and actually got the elixir of longevity?!
You’re not messing with me, are you?!
Not just Liao Yuanfeng.
Everyone present was dumbfounded!
It felt like a dream!
What the hell?!

Had they all been wrong before?
The more carefully and devoutly you spin, the less likely you get good stuff?
Whereas reckless spins like Jiang Yi’s yield better rewards???
Liao Yuanfeng had a moment of existential doubt.
He watched Jiang Yi swallow the blue-quality elixir of longevity with incredible speed.
He swallowed nervously and couldn’t help asking, “Is your luck effect still active?! I... still have a few trash wheels here!”
“A few seconds left! Hurry, hurry!” Jiang Yi’s tone was urgent, as if he truly carried a time-limited luck blessing.
Liao Yuanfeng hurriedly tossed a few white wheels to Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi again spun one of them recklessly!
【Ding——】
【Congratulations! You’ve drawn a reward: Elixir of Longevity!】
???
Damn?!
Another elixir of longevity!
Amidst the shocked and horrified gazes, Jiang Yi’s hand pressed down on the next white wheel.
But under those jealous, reddened eyes, he finally cursed with regret and anger: “Damn! The time’s up!”
“...”
Liao Yuanfeng looked at Jiang Yi’s angry face and felt an inexplicable sense of this world being too surreal.
Other stunned teammates shared similarly mixed feelings!
Damn! This luck effect is just too insane!
This Jiang Yi’s luck is this good, yet he still acts dissatisfied!
It’s maddening!
Those jealous and envious gazes seemed to want to tear Jiang Yi apart alive.
Actually, Jiang Yi wasn’t showing off for nothing.
It was because of the cooldown interval for taking the elixir of longevity.
He had just woken from an eight-hour sleep.
After leaving the nest space, he wanted to consume the elixir as soon as possible.
And then, every hour afterward, he needed to take it again.
Only then would the benefits be maximized.
Moreover, if conditions allowed...
He would prefer to take a purple-quality elixir of longevity.
Even better if orange, red, or gold-quality.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t spun a single purple wheel yet.
He didn’t care how those small-time Calamities viewed him.
Holding the freshly spun white elixir of longevity, his gaze met Liao Yuanfeng’s.
Liao Yuanfeng’s eyes also reflected envy and jealousy.
But he vaguely realized—
Jiang Yi’s strength probably surpassed his now!
Coupled with his personality, Jiang Yi wouldn’t risk trouble for just a white elixir of longevity.
What surprised him most was—
Jiang Yi actually offered to hand over the elixir!
Liao Yuanfeng’s eyes widened again!
“What... do you mean?”
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow: “Two wheels, one blue and one white. I’ll sell you this white elixir of longevity for 20 year coins. Interested?”
Twenty year coins...
Usually, the price of an elixir of longevity corresponds to how many years it can add to your life.
The white-quality elixirs spun from wheels add between 10 and 100 years.
Exactly how many years is uncertain; buyers have to take a gamble.
Jiang Yi’s price of 20 year coins was already quite reasonable.
But Liao Yuanfeng was only a formal member of the Fortune Club.
He didn’t have that many year coins on hand.
Still, he didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
After some thought, he suddenly pulled out a device resembling a phone, his exclusive fate board: “Let’s add each other as friends first. You give me some time to gather the coins.”
