The roulette stopped on a perfectly square icon.

[Congratulations, you obtained: Dadan's Pin-up Photo] Note: As long as a woman is a woman, she will pursue beauty, even if her appearance is not pretty. [Would you like to take it out?]

"Yes."

After taking it out, Duen tossed it aside. Ever since seeing Alvida's Pin-up Photo last time, he could already imagine what Dadan's pin-up would look like. Damn it... who would want to look at something like that?!

Then, the [Catalog] tab at the top of the interface began to glow.

He had probably collected another catalog entry. Duen ignored it for now and continued drawing.

After two more "Thanks for participating," the roulette stopped on a yellowish icon.

[Congratulations, you obtained: Luffy's Straw Hat] Note: There is only one true straw hat, so this one will be a little different. [Would you like to take it out?]

"Yes."

A straw hat suddenly appeared in Duen's hand. It looked very similar to Luffy's, with the only difference being that the band around the brim was yellow and tied into a bow.

He tossed it aside and continued drawing. He still had over 4,800 points left.

"Thanks for participating" appeared four times, and "5,000 Beli" appeared once. Then something different appeared again—the roulette stopped on an icon resembling a thin stick.

[Congratulations, you obtained: Usopp's Long Nose] Note: A nose growing longer from lying is not a bad thing. It was simply used in the wrong place. [Would you like to take it out?]

As usual, he chose "Yes." A rubber-like nose appeared in his hand. Its base was wide and its tip narrow, as if it could genuinely be worn over his nose.

At that moment, the interface in his mind automatically switched to the [Catalog] tab. The icons for "Buggy's Red Nose" and "Usopp's Long Nose" both emitted dazzling seven-colored light, and the system finally gave a different notification!

[Congratulations, achievement unlocked: Double-Nose King] Note: A man favored by the Goddess of Luck has an exceptionally unusual nose. Perhaps that is the reason for their luck. [You may activate Super Lucky Roulette once. Cost: 000 negative emotion points] [Activate?]

"So collecting these catalog entries really is useful." Duen licked his lips in inexplicable excitement. "Activate!"

After deducting 000 negative emotion points, the interface automatically switched to the [Draw Center]. The roulette looked different from usual, emitting a faint seven-colored glow.

The icons were no longer things like "Thanks for participating" or "10,000 Beli." They had become "Armament Haki," "Observation Haki," "Conqueror's Haki," "10,000 negative emotion points," "Great Grade Blade Blue Bird"...

The incredibly useful rewards made Duen's eyes blur. So this was the Super Lucky Roulette!

Without hesitation, he pressed the button that had turned as clear as crystal. The roulette began to spin, as though a violent gale had risen and blown away every sight before his eyes. The next moment, an endless deep-blue ocean formed around him. All kinds of deep-sea fish swam past him continuously, circling around him and dancing as though they possessed intelligence, forming breathtakingly magnificent scenes.

At last, the surrounding scenery vanished like a dream, and the roulette appeared again. This time, it stopped on an icon of a bag.

[Congratulations, you obtained: Item Storage Bag] Note: Simply roll up a spatial wall as material and sew it together with needle and thread. It can store nonliving matter. [Would you like to take it out?]

"Yes..."

A white bag appeared in Duen's hand, only about the size of a teacup. He weighed it in his hand, but could not feel any weight at all. So this was an Item Storage Bag...

After exiting the system, Duen looked around, then took the forty-centimeter-wide blade into one hand. He held the storage bag steady with the other and inserted the blade into its opening.

Something magical happened...

The bag's opening, less than ten centimeters wide, gradually expanded as the broad blade was inserted. In the end, it swallowed half the blade completely, yet the bottom was not punctured, nor was there any sign of tearing.

Duen pulled out the broad blade and peered into the pitch-black bag. How had a forty-centimeter-wide blade entered such a narrow opening?!

After trying to insert the broad blade a few more times, Duen felt that the motion was somewhat indecent. Only then did he put the blade back on the table, toss a stack of Beli into the bag, and reach inside. With a mere thought, a stack of Beli was firmly grasped in his palm.

This was good stuff.

Duen no longer hesitated. He stuffed all his Beli, along with everything he had previously drawn from the system, into the bag in one go. The storage bag remained the size of a teacup, without the slightest sign of bulging.

Although this storage bag offered no help in battle, it was extremely useful in daily life. Even if he reached an uninhabited island, as long as he prepared beforehand, he would no longer need to worry about supplies such as water and food. It also gave the items provided by the system somewhere to be stored.

After fastening the storage bag to his waist, Duen entered the system again and opened the [Catalog]. Seeing the lit-up icons, a sense of satisfaction rose within him.

The feeling reminded him of playing a certain game in his previous life, catching and evolving every creature along the way. Especially the legendary creature that existed only once in the entire game—no matter how much time and effort it took, he had to catch it and fill the blank space in the catalog!

With a sigh, he exited the [Catalog] and entered the [Draw Center] again. The interface had returned to normal. Of the more than 5,800 negative emotion points he had originally possessed, only 800 remained. Duen had wanted to use up those 800 points in one go, but discovered a switch resembling a lever beside the red button.

He tried pulling the lever down with his mind. Sure enough... after it was pulled down, the surrounding scenery changed once more. The roulette began to emit layer upon layer of dazzling seven-colored light, and the rewards on it became incredibly luxurious. The words beside the crystal-clear button also changed.

Super Lucky Roulette draw: 0000 negative emotion points per draw. Note: Successfully activated.

"This is way too expensive!"

Seeing that outrageous amount, even Duen clicked his tongue in disbelief. Thirty thousand negative emotion points could buy one hundred and fifty draws on the ordinary roulette... there was no way he could casually come up with that much!

So... he had just spent only three thousand negative emotion points for one draw. Converted like that, it was equivalent to being rewarded with twenty-seven thousand emotion points...

However, once he thought about how his negative emotion points were now insufficient for his expenses, Duen quickly closed the [Draw Center]. He did not dare spend those 800 emotion points carelessly anymore, while a powerful sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

After exiting the system again, mental drowsiness and physical exhaustion flooded Duen's mind. He slowly closed his eyes, and before long, fell asleep.
