Chapter 120 Perfectly Avoided

Speaking of which, when Dongfeng Huanye received the message, she was in the middle of organizing her Crystal Cores. For some reason, although her Commercial Street wasn't in a central location—one might even call it remote—some people would inexplicably end up there every day and find themselves forced to spend money.

Although it wasn't much, she could still form a team and make it onto the leaderboard, holding the ninety-eighth position, which wasn't bad.

Just when she thought her hardships were over and the game was finally treating her well, an update announcement brought a wave of uncertainty. A prison-like structure appeared floating over the sea, causing widespread panic. It was at this moment that Huan Ye received a message from Boss Yi Meng.

This was... truly wonderful!

With Boss Yi Meng around, she felt a sense of security.

Oh my, even someone as unlucky as her could have such a fortunate day!

Therefore, Huan Ye sent her location to the boss without a second thought, eagerly awaiting her arrival!

"She's the number one on the leaderboard, after all; I can't be too shabby." Huan Ye muttered as she swept the Commercial Street with a broom, attempting to provide the boss with a pleasant environment for her visit...

A gentle breeze swept past, and the magnificent, massive Ghost Mansion Immortal Palace appeared above Huan Ye's head. It circled the Commercial Street twice before slowly descending and finally coming to a halt at the entrance.

Lin Xi's gaze swept over the petite yet well-equipped Commercial Street before finally settling on Dongfeng Huanye.

It was her.

It was definitely her.

That super unlucky player.

"Boss Yi Meng, long time no see! Could you give me a few more autographs?"

Lin Xi Yi Meng: ???

Little did she know that to Dongfeng Huanye, Boss Yi Meng was like a literal money tree. Her Commercial Street wasn't large and didn't have many items, but the reason she could sell so much for so many gold coins was all thanks to Boss Yi Meng.

Things like headbands used by Boss Yi Meng, business cards signed by Boss Yi Meng, yukatas worn by Boss Yi... ahem, no, they were yukatas she had worn herself, but they were refined by Boss Yi Meng. Rounding it off, it was basically as if Boss Yi Meng had worn them!

Furthermore, after her ID appeared on that Mutated Nian Beast leaderboard, she had become quite famous. Even foreign players knew of her existence and believed her words implicitly.

It had to be said that these items sold incredibly well. Even for things Boss Yi Meng had never even seen, as long as they were labeled with her name, people would immediately offer high prices or even start fights over them.

Huan Ye felt nothing but regret—regret that she hadn't asked Boss Yi Meng for more signatures back then!

Looking at the pile of postcard-like items in front of her, Lin Xi felt a momentary illusion of being back before the invasion. Did she need to add a personalized "To:" signature to make it seem more authentic?

She could even sell a limited edition...

Wait, what was she thinking? She had almost been led astray by Dongfeng Huanye.

Pushing the pile of postcards aside, Lin Xi brought up the Lucky Wheel reward sent by the game, and a holographic projection appeared before the two of them.

"This... this is that Lucky Wheel?!" Huan Ye walked around the wheel twice, her eyes wide with shock and wonder as she stared at it.

"Can I touch it? Actually, Boss, aren't you afraid that by bringing this wheel out for me to see, my bad luck might transfer to it?"

Lin Xi chuckled. She wasn't afraid of any bad luck; she was only afraid that Huan Ye's imagination wasn't absurd enough!

It would be best if she could pull a UR-rarity Specter or some super rare item—something unique to the entire server would be great. That sounded very impressive.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi gestured for Huan Ye to press the start button.

"Me?" Huan Ye pointed at herself, looking at Lin Xi Yi Meng in surprise. "Maybe I should pass. This thing is quite precious; I don't want to waste it!"

"I'm so unlucky, I'll definitely pull something terrible, just some scrap metal. It would be a wa—"

"Stop!"

Hearing those words, Lin Xi quickly cut off Dongfeng Huanye's further speech. She stuffed a Sour-to-Death Specter Red Apple into Huan Ye's mouth to silence her, then quickly pressed the start button before she could say another word!

Perfect, those were exactly the words she wanted to hear!

Time to pull!

The pointer on the Lucky Wheel began to rotate slowly, picking up speed until it was almost a blur, then it began to decelerate, completing one lap, two laps...

Huan Ye, biting the sour apple, held her breath along with Lin Xi as they watched the wheel slowly sweep past one area after another.

Game Coins: 100 Million.

Passed.

Two Exclusive Weapon Selection Gift Boxes.

Passed.

Limited Full Outfit Set. (Note: This set includes the Commercial Street, Home, Guild, protagonist's clothing, pet home, mount stable, etc.)

Passed.

One SSR Specter Selection Gift Box.

Pas...sed.

One SSR Specter Blind Box.

Passed again.

Lin Xi watched as her two most desired rewards slowly slid past. With no more chances for them, her heart sank halfway. She wondered where things had gone wrong. Could she be about to pull another useless reward like last time?

That shouldn't be right; it made no sense. Since Dongfeng Huanye had already delivered a reverse jinx, she should have pulled either the worst or the best reward!

"B-Boss Yi Meng..."

Huan Ye suddenly pulled the sour apple out of her mouth in excitement, even chewing a couple of times, and pointed at the wheel as if they had hit the jackpot.

Seeing this, Lin Xi looked up and was surprised to find that the pointer was about to stop. The area it was currently in was one that Lin Xi had been ignoring all along.

Because the area was small and the background color wasn't prominent, Lin Xi hadn't paid it any attention. It wasn't until the pointer was right on the verge of stopping there that she realized there was a reward even better than SSR on this wheel.

UR Specter Blind Box!

UR!

A UR Specter, even rarer than an SSR!

Could it be that the server's very first UR Specter was about to descend upon her?

"A-choo!"

Whether it was from the sourness or from choking, just as the pointer was about to settle, Huan Ye couldn't hold back a sneeze. It was unclear if the pointer was hit by a sound wave or a gust of air, but with that one sneeze, it moved forward just a tiny bit, perfectly avoiding the UR Blind Box area.

Lin Xi: ...

This... the prize was practically in her hands and it still flew away?! You can't play like this!

Looking at the final area where it landed, it was a tiny, pitch-black section. It was even smaller than the UR Specter Blind Box area, almost like a thin line. Because it was so small, there was no text description—or perhaps there was, but it was too small for Lin Xi to see clearly.

In any case, it was just a tiny, dark area. She didn't know what it was, but it definitely wasn't a Specter.

The two of them stared at the wheel, then at each other, both showing deep confusion in their eyes.

Dongfeng Huanye: See, I told you I shouldn't be the one to pull. This unlucky constitution has absolutely nothing to do with being an emperor of luck.

Lin Xi: Which part went wrong? Could it be that I can't even counteract Huan Ye's constitution?
