When he saw the Die and Live Again mutation—one that killed a puppet and then revived it, seemingly without any benefit—Yan Qing knew there had to be a mechanism where "dying was the trigger." The faster and more often it died, the greater the advantage. Otherwise, it could never have been ranked alongside the other two mutations.
After the battle ended, the dead mosquito did not revive. The two parasites continued following Night Four, but the Puppet Slot still had the "Parasitic Mosquito" equipped. This meant that when a puppet died in battle, it truly died. Once the player exhausted all their puppets, they could either switch to other puppets or fight personally.
To maximize the value of the mutation, Yan Qing now needed to head toward the city center, find a powerful death-cry puppet, and then strengthen it to ascension to see just how formidable it was!
After passing dozens of low-level demons along the way, a tall tower abruptly appeared beside the road. At first glance, its top looked like a clock tower, but a closer look revealed a huge, colorful roulette wheel. From a distance, it resembled an upright rainbow lollipop.
This was the Chaos Roulette Xi Zifeng had mentioned before. Spinning it triggered unpredictable events. But Night Four was only a secondary account, and Yan Qing would have dared to let him try even a dung bucket he came across, let alone a roulette wheel.
After climbing the tower, Yan Qing saw a more detailed system description:
"Blessing Roulette"
"60% chance of receiving a reward, 30% chance of receiving a punishment, 9% chance of receiving a severe punishment, 1% chance of receiving a super-grand reward"
"Each character can spin it only once per day"
Night Four pressed the stone slab in the center of the roulette.
