The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Su Mu shook his head.

Putting aside these random thoughts, Su Mu began to carefully observe the environment around the pirate ship.

Although there didn't seem to be any zombies, he didn't dare to be careless.

What if there are invisible monsters?

What if there's one that lies motionless on the ground?

He waited a few more minutes to make sure there was nothing unusual before cautiously stepping out from behind the artificial hill.

Softly treading the shadows of the buildings, we approached the pirate ship step by step.

The gate at the ticket checkpoint wasn't high; he easily climbed over it with one hand.

In the shadows beneath the ship's hull, the bronze treasure chest lay silently, its surface covered in dust.

Su Mu didn't start immediately. Instead, he walked around the pirate ship to make sure there were no monsters hiding in any corner.

Safety.

He then squatted down and placed his hands on the treasure chest.

turn on.

Two beams of light simultaneously came into view.

The first item was a leg guard.

It's made of dark gray fabric with thick padding at the knees and a palm-sized pocket on each side. It feels substantial to the touch, yet is very lightweight.

[Acquired: Tactical Leggings (White)]

Type: Armor

Armor Value: +5

Weight: 0.8KG

[Effect: When equipped, grants slight physical protection to the legs. The left pocket allows for quick access to melee weapons (daggers, short swords, etc.), increasing the retrieval speed by 30%.]

【Durability: 50/50】

Su Mu's eyes lit up.

nice one!

I previously got a tactical chest guard, which allows for quick access to pistols and grenades. Now I've got tactical leg guards, which allow for quick access to melee weapons.

He put on the leg braces without hesitation.

He adjusted the tightness; it fit perfectly. The left pocket was just outside his thigh, within easy reach. He tried to insert the large wrench... no, too big. But it would be just right for a dagger or short knife.

I need to get a dagger later.

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then looked at the second item.

A yellowed drawing.

[Obtained: Level 3 Protective Cable Car Blueprint]

[Type: Cable car upgrade blueprints]

[Effect: Upgrades the Lv2 cable car to Lv3, with the upgrade path being "Protective".]

【Materials required: 9 steel ingots, 1 tempered glass】

It's not the universal blueprints of the past, but one with a fixed orientation.

Su Mu frowned slightly as he looked at the material requirements on the blueprints.

9 steel ingots, 1 tempered glass.

He had neither of those two things.

Steel ingots are likely an upgraded material from iron ingots, requiring drops from higher-level monsters. Tempered glass is similar, probably an upgraded version of glass essence.

We need to find a way to get it.

Su Mu carefully put away the blueprints and looked at the last item in the treasure chest.

A box of self-heating hot pot.

The red packaging box has the words "Spicy Tender Beef" printed on it, along with a cartoon cow giving a thumbs up.

Su Mu's eyes lit up.

Self-heating hot pot!

This stuff was worthless in its original world, but in this world... it's an absolute delicacy.

He had eaten nothing but bread, biscuits, and chocolate all day, which filled his stomach but left his mouth feeling utterly bland. Now, seeing this self-heating hot pot, his salivary glands instantly started producing saliva.

I'll eat it when I get home tonight!

Su Mu stuffed the self-heating hot pot into his backpack, in a great mood.

Then he stood up and walked to the roundabout next to him.

Unlike the lucky draw wheel in the haunted house, this one doesn't have that eerie "bad luck" vibe; it's just an ordinary lottery machine.

It has a dark gold metallic texture, is about half a person's height, and has an intricate pattern on its surface. The turntable is divided into six sections, each with a different pattern...

10 iron ingots, 3 tempered glass essences, 10 compressed biscuits, 3 steel ingots, a small book, and a blank area.

There are six compartments, with only a small gap the size of a finger between them, except for the book itself.

Su Mu saw the text above the turntable:

[Resource Roulette]

[Each spins once, consuming a Mystic Crystal, and randomly obtains the resources within the square.]

[First rotation: Consumes 1 Mystic Crystal]

[Second rotation: Consumes 10 Mystic Crystals]

[Third rotation: Consumes 100 Mystic Crystals]

[And so on, each rotation consumes 10 times the energy of the previous one.]

[Note: Resources on the spinning wheel will not be replenished once they are gone; the wheel will stop spinning when all resources are used up.]

It's not a bad luck wheel.

Therefore, not all roulette wheels are called "lucky roulette wheels." A normal roulette wheel should be like this. Even if you don't get the winning wheel, you won't encounter any danger. The worst-case scenario is that you'll get nothing... nothing at all.

When Su Mu first saw that lucky-unlucky wheel, he thought all wheels should be like that, half good luck and half bad luck, and a slight mistake could trigger a fatal crisis.

Seeing this ordinary resource wheel, he realized... that the fortune wheel was not the normal one at all.

Thinking about this, Su Mu suddenly realized how unlucky Lin Yuwei was.

If she hadn't encountered herself, she would have first faced that level two blue-quality giant axe-wielder... With her limited strength, she would most likely have lost, and even if she had won by sheer luck, she would probably have paid a heavy price.

Then she will see that lucky wheel.

Given her personality, seeing a description like "half luck and half bad luck" would likely make her hesitate, but in the end she would still be tempted to take a gamble... after all, the allure of a roulette wheel is too great.

Then......

There is a 1/2 probability of turning into misfortune.

Given her luck, Su Mu was almost certain that she would turn to misfortune.

And what will that misfortune be?

Summon monsters? Cast curses? Deduct attributes?

Regardless of the reason, given her condition at the time, she most likely died there.

Su Mu shook his head.

How can someone be so unlucky?

He snapped out of his thoughts and looked back at the resource wheel in front of him.

The grids are roughly the same size, but if you look closely, the grid for the little book is actually slightly narrower than the others, taking up only about 1% of the entire turntable. The other grids, including the empty one, each take up about 20%.

In other words, the probability of getting that little book is only 1%.

If you're unlucky, you might have to try a sixth time...

The first time requires 1 Mystic Crystal, the second time 10, the third time 100, the fourth time 1000... and so on until the sixth time, which requires 10 Mystic Crystals.

It takes a full 10 Mystic Crystals... to obtain that most precious item.

Su Mu was speechless.

The designer of this turntable must have been very good at math.

However, he was more curious about whether his talent—the ability to observe and extract the best parts of unknown blind box events—would be useful for this roulette wheel.

Literally, "mixed results" means that there are both good and bad outcomes.

Does it have to be half and half?

He glanced at the strange crystals in his backpack... 3 left.

After killing so many ghost bats in the haunted house and dismantling the giant axe-wielder, I collected a total of 8. I used 5 to make a small quiver, and I have 3 left.

You can only turn it once.

Whether it's possible or not, he has to observe and try.

Su Mu walked around the roundabout, carefully observing every detail.

Soon, he noticed an extremely subtle detail.

Below the spinning wheel is the coin slot... a palm-width groove for holding the strange crystals. At the edge of the groove is a tiny, almost invisible protrusion.

Extremely subtle.

It would be impossible to find unless you deliberately looked for it.

Su Mu reached out and pressed his hand on the protrusion.

Nothing happens.

He thought for a moment, then took out a strange crystal from his backpack, pressed it onto the protrusion, and slid it into the groove.

The strange crystal fell into the coin slot, making a slight "click" sound.

The texture on the surface of the turntable glowed slightly.

Su Mu did not turn the dial immediately, but stared at the pointer on the dial.

He noticed that when his gaze fell on the square with the little book drawn on it, the pointer seemed to tremble slightly.

Extremely subtle.

If he hadn't been staring at it the whole time, he wouldn't have noticed at all.

Su Mu's lips curled up slightly.

It works!

He took a deep breath and reached out to turn the turntable.
