For this first mission, Wen Nan was the only one who received an Excellent rating. That meant he was the only one who earned an extra reward—the unlimited-spin prize wheel.
The dorm was stuffy and hot, filled with a strange medley of odors. The blankets on the beds looked as if sweat and certain bodily fluids had soaked right into them. Wen Nan really didn't want to fall asleep in such an environment.
So he called the system in his mind and asked it to bring up the prize wheel.
As soon as he finished speaking, a brightly colored circular wheel appeared before him.
"A prize wheel?!"
The Fatty stood beside Wen Nan. The moment he saw the wheel appear, his eyes lit up.
Wen Nan was a little confused.
...Wasn't the prize wheel interface built into his personal player system? How could the Fatty see it?
9527: [The prize wheel is an extra reward granted by the main mission. It is set to be visible to others by default. If you wish to hide the prize wheel interface, please let me know at any time, and I will hide it for you.]
Wen Nan: ...
Wasn't it a little late to mention that now? The Fatty had already seen it...
Wen Nan: [Forget it, no need. Let it stay visible.]
9527: [Understood. The rules for the prize wheel are as follows—
Each spin costs the player 100 coins;
Your mission rating was Excellent, so your extra reward is the highest tier, with no limit on the number of spins;
The prize wheel has a 100% chance of winning;
After each spin, the player may choose how to handle the prize. There are three options: 1) Accept: the item or equipment will be placed directly in the player's Equipment Backup Slot; 2) Reject: the item or equipment will be destroyed completely; 3) Sell: the item or equipment will be returned to the prize pool, and 50 coins will be refunded to the player;
The prize wheel has five sections: "White," "Yellow," "Orange," "Red," and "Gold." 1) White: low-level items or equipment, 50% chance; 2) Yellow: mid-level items or equipment, 30% chance; 3) Orange: high-level items or equipment, 19% chance; 4) Red: rare items or equipment, 0.99% chance; 5) Gold: legendary items or equipment, 0.01% chance;
After each spin, the player will have 30 seconds to prepare. Before time runs out, the player must confirm whether to proceed to the next spin. If the player fails to confirm in time, they will be considered to have forfeited the spin;
The player may end the prize wheel session at any time. Once the player exits the prize wheel interface, they will permanently lose their eligibility for this prize wheel and will be unable to return;
If you have any questions, please ask at any time. Once you have finished reading, please confirm to enter the prize wheel interface;
Good luck!]
Wen Nan read through the instructions from beginning to end.
In other words, although there was no limit to the number of spins, the prize wheel was a one-time opportunity—
Once he officially entered the prize wheel session, he had to keep spinning until he either couldn't go on or ran out of money. If he quit even once along the way, he would be out for good.
"Grandpa Ye, are you going to start spinning?"
The Fatty leaned his round face closer, his eyes fixed on the floating screen in front of Wen Nan as he rubbed his hands excitedly. He looked as if he couldn't wait to press the confirmation button for him.
Seeing how eager the Fatty was, Wen Nan asked in his mind, [9527, can someone else spin for me?]
9527: [Sorry, the prize wheel is an exclusive player reward. The designated player must participate personally. It cannot be transferred to another player or character.]
All right. So he had to do it himself.
Wen Nan glanced at his account balance, then at the prize wheel interface before him. In the end, he opened the [Shop] first.
Player levels and attribute points would only be calculated once the entire trial was over. His account was still at the initial Lv. 1, and there were still only three items available in the shop—
[Nutrient Supplement] for 200 coins, [Sleep Capsule] for 300 coins, and [Safety Bubble] for 1,000 coins.
Wen Nan was already familiar with what the Safety Bubble did. As for the other two items—
[Nutrient Supplement: This item quickly provides the player with the energy needed for one day, equivalent to consuming a 2,500-calorie meal. The energy is gradually released into the player's body over the 24 hours after use, ensuring that even if the player engages in intense physical activity the entire time, they will not experience short-term nutritional deficiencies such as hunger or low blood sugar.]
[Sleep Capsule: Using this item is equivalent to completing eight hours of sleep all at once, including three hours of deep sleep and 40 minutes of REM sleep. It ensures that the player remains energetic for the next 24 hours.]
Pretty good. Those were exactly what he needed right now.
Wen Nan didn't hesitate much. He bought one [Nutrient Supplement] and one [Sleep Capsule], then used them immediately.
The next moment, his slightly foggy head cleared. It felt as if he'd slept in on a weekend and woken up at just the right time, his whole body brimming with energy.
Without him noticing, two more spectators had gathered behind Wen Nan.
When they heard the Fatty's shout of "prize wheel," Huang Tao, the Sports Student, and Shao Ling, the bespectacled man, couldn't sit still. They forgot all about sleeping to recover their strength, jumped out of their beds in an instant, and stood behind Wen Nan. Like the Fatty, they stared intently at the wheel in front of him.
"How's it going? Have you started spinning?"
Shao Ling's gaze was fixed on the thinnest and most eye-catching strip on the wheel: the gold section.
"Go on, give it a couple spins and test your luck?"
Huang Tao was so envious his eyes were practically red. He thought to himself, Having money really is great. With the pitiful 159 coins in my account, even if I'd received an Excellent mission rating and earned the extra prize wheel reward, I'd only have enough money for one spin. Not like Ye, the great god—he's got so much money that spinning the wheel is as easy as drinking water.
With three pairs of eyes fixed on his back, Wen Nan's relaxed mood somehow tightened.
He straightened up a little and confirmed with the system in his mind that he wanted to enter the prize wheel interface.
The circular wheel lit up at once. A line of prompts appeared beneath it—
[Would you like to start the prize wheel now?]
[Yes] [No (10)]
[Yes] [No (9)]
[Yes] [No (2)]
[Yes] [No (1)]
As the countdown reached its final second, Wen Nan pressed [Yes].
Click.
After a soft sound, the wheel began to spin, speeding up, then faster still...
Ding!
When it stopped, an antique-looking treasure chest dropped down.
Golden light flooded the entire dormitory, bright as day.
The three people behind Wen Nan were practically drooling.
The Fatty swallowed hard, his eyes almost bulging out of his head. "...G-Gold... a legendary prize?"
A Gold legendary prize, with a one-in-ten-thousand chance of winning—he'd actually gotten it on the first spin?
The Chosen One?!
