Chapter 5: A Raffle? A Guaranteed Reward!
While speaking, Sun Hao waved his hand. Suddenly, on the table in the guardhouse appeared two bags of bread and two boxes of milk. The bread was expired, and the milk was near its expiration date. But with the world ending, no one cared about such things.
Jiang Yi was extremely hungry. In no time, he finished his share of bread and milk. After eating, he felt only slightly full; his body was still weak.
Sigh...
Although his previous life hadn’t been very successful, at least he never had to worry about food and drink. But now, reborn...
Not only did he have to endure hunger again, but he also had to relive the miserable existence of keeping a gun tucked into his waistband.
Damn it! Just thinking about it was suffocating!
Such a precious opportunity for rebirth—why couldn’t it have been given to someone who truly needed it?
Jiang Yi felt no joy from being reborn. Instead, he was overwhelmed by endless frustration and resentment.
But it wasn’t long before he found himself drawn in—
After completing the basic procedures, Sun Hao led him and Luo Shan to the green lawn just outside the villa district.
That was the White Lottery Area.
All members of the Lucky Sky Club who were to participate in the white roulette draw would come there.
With a grand gesture, Sun Hao made a cardboard box appear out of thin air on the lawn.
Inside the box were numerous white roulette wheels, each about the size of a bowl’s mouth.
There were over fifty of them.
These wheels were collectively called Fate Wheels.
They were rare drops from monsters.
Each Fate Wheel was single-use only—once spun, it became void regardless of the result.
Each wheel had ten options with varying probabilities.
Because the options differed, Fate Wheels were graded not only by color but also by “quality” among the strong.
Generally, regardless of color, wheels were categorized into six qualities: Perfect, Supreme, High, Medium, Low, and Junk.
A Perfect wheel meant all ten options were high-quality positive effects.
Even in his past life, Jiang Yi had only ever heard of Perfect wheels once.
A Supreme wheel had at least eight positive effects among its ten options, with six or more being “high-quality” positives.
What counted as high-quality positive effects?
For example, a bag of bread or a box of milk were positive effects, but to the elites, such effects were worthless.
Only attributes, skills, talents, powerful items, and the like qualified as high-quality positive effects.
Generally, the higher the proportion of high-quality positives, the better the wheel’s quality; conversely, fewer high-quality positives meant lower quality.
Most people who obtained high-quality wheels kept them for themselves.
Some extremely high-quality wheels could even fetch high prices!
Therefore, the club only gave the worms who clung to life the unwanted Low and Junk quality wheels.
Low-quality wheels were scarce as well.

Almost all were Junk quality.
“Pick a wheel and fill out the options list, then you can spin it directly,” Sun Hao said, yawning lazily as he continued the procedure.
Luo Shan’s eyes lit up as he carefully sifted through the box, finally selecting a wheel with an “All Attributes +1” option.
However, that “All Attributes +1” option accounted for less than one ten-thousandth of the entire white wheel!
It was as tiny as a hair’s breadth!
The other nine options were almost all negative effects—ferocious beasts, diseases, curses, and so on.
Thankfully, the negative effects on white wheels weren’t too severe.
Luo Shan spat twice onto his hands, then rubbed them together, as if washing away a month’s worth of grime.
Then, like a devout believer, he carefully cupped the chosen wheel.
It was clear he was praying fervently inside—begging the lofty god of fate to show him mercy, even just once.
Just once would be enough!
With his eyes closed, Luo Shan swore inwardly—
If only he could draw “All Attributes +1,” he would…
He would forever be the most loyal disciple of the god of fate!
He would remain single all his life!
He would...
He would do anything!
Let him get “All Attributes +1”!
In a hysterical shout, Luo Shan cried out within.
When he opened his eyes, they were bloodshot.
His trembling hand slammed down on the center of the white wheel.
Then he shouted fiercely, “Spin! All Attributes +1! Give me All Attributes +1!”
[Ding—]
The white wheel emitted a sound.
[Congratulations, you have drawn: a lump of feces!]
“Damn it!!”
When the familiar notification sounded, Luo Shan’s face flushed with rage as he violently threw the “reward” that had appeared in his hand away.
Then, the white wheel he had been cradling like a treasure was hurled to the ground and stomped on repeatedly.
He cursed angrily, “You’re just a damn lump of crap! Damn you! Damn you!”
“Why? Why?!”
Luo Shan’s roar and protests were filled with utter unwillingness.
Sun Hao, having seen this scene many times, rolled his eyes and scolded, “Enough! Spin and get out of here! Don’t go crazy here!”
Though furious, Luo Shan dared not defy Sun Hao, so he swallowed his anger.
But instead of leaving immediately, he lingered, muttering, “Let’s see what this guy can get.”
By “this guy,” he naturally meant Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn’t expect to get anything either.
After all, even if he drew an Elixir of Immortality, it would belong to the club, not him.
In his past life, he’d spun countless wheels and experienced endless dashed hopes.
His heart had long since grown numb.

Anyway, no hope meant no disappointment.
Still, even without hope, he planned to carefully select from the fifty-plus white wheels.
But!
When his hand touched the first white wheel in the box...
A prompt suddenly sounded in his mind:
[Please select the reward you want to specify:]
[1. Foot odor]
[2. Mouth ulcers]
[3. Weakness for three days]
[4. Stinky water crocodile]
[5. …]
???
What?
What the hell?
Specify what?
What reward?
Specify a reward??
Holy crap! Could it be what he thought it was?!
He, he, he...
He could directly specify the reward on the wheel?!
No way?!
Could he be so hungry that he had gone mad?
Before confirming, Jiang Yi simply couldn’t believe this was real!
But...
That didn’t stop him from clinging to a faint hope and trying it out!
If he could really specify the reward directly...
Then he would have to carefully choose among these junk-quality white wheels!
First, he ruled out the Elixir of Immortality and various physical items.
Because according to club rules,
anything physical he drew would belong to the club, not himself.
By contrast, rewards like “All Attributes +1,” which Luo Shan desperately wanted, directly affected the person who spun the wheel!
Such rewards were the only chance for the worms to change their fate!
But this chance was extremely slim.
“Hurry up, damn it!”
“No matter how you pick, hoping to get something good from junk wheels is just wishful thinking!”
Sun Hao grew impatient seeing Jiang Yi take too long to choose.
To him, there was no way to get anything good from these junk wheels.
Jiang Yi’s behavior was simply a waste of time!
But Luo Shan, watching Jiang Yi’s careful selection, felt a certain kinship.
“You’re trying to defy fate with this draw too, huh?”
“I heard you’ve got just over a year left to live. If you don’t get something good this time, you probably won’t last long.”
When Sun Hao heard Luo Shan mention Jiang Yi’s limited lifespan, his contempt deepened.
Just as he was about to urge him again, Jiang Yi finally pulled a wheel from the box.
“I’ve made my choice. This one.”
