514: Two gambling addicts
Seeing Number Two fall down with an expression of disbelief, Gu Qinghan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Number Two was destined to die; even if he was a High-level Cleric, he still had to die.
Gu Qinghan had always believed that betrayal was a matter of either zero times or countless times; he wouldn't gamble on such a possibility.
Gu Qinghan took out the wheel of destiny and once again looked at its attributes.
The description of the wheel of destiny didn't actually state that it needed the corpse of a Cleric to activate.
【wheel of destiny (World Destroyer): Unique Item】
【Effect: Infuse powerful energy, spin the wheel, and change your fate trajectory.】
Gu Qinghan thought about it; Sacred Power certainly counted as a powerful energy.
So, did Dragon Power or even Demonic Power count?
Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, looked at the Giant Palace from which battle sounds were still emanating, and then released Gu Qingyuan.
He didn't directly use Number Two's corpse to activate the wheel; instead, he wanted to try if he could use the Sacred Power stored within Gu Qingyuan's body to drive it.
After understanding Gu Qinghan's intention, Gu Qingyuan nodded and directly condensed a ball of Sacred Power, throwing it towards the wheel of destiny.
As expected, the wheel of destiny quickly absorbed this ball of Sacred Power but showed no reaction.
Gu Qinghan frowned and asked, "How much Sacred Power did you put in, approximately?"
"About one-third of the amount collected from a junior Cleric... Hey, hey, don't hit me, wasn't I trying to save you some?"
Gu Qingyuan quickly explained, then immediately sent out another ball of Sacred Power of the same amount.
As a result, this time, the wheel of destiny slowly began to spin.
At the same time, Gu Qinghan suddenly felt a connection, as if an aura extended from the wheel of destiny and linked with him.
He had a feeling that no matter whether the wheel of destiny landed on a reward or a punishment, it would directly affect him.
"See? About two-thirds of a junior Cleric's Sacred Power is enough to spin the wheel," Gu Qingyuan said, sounding a bit boastful, with his hands on his hips, looking quite pleased.
The wheel spun faster and faster, and after reaching a certain speed, it gradually slowed down, making the breathing of the three people present tense.
It had to be said that things based on luck were always very captivating.
The wheel slowly stopped, and the pointer finally landed in the white area, which made Gu Qinghan breathe a slight sigh of relief.
"Good thing, if it had spun for two more seconds, it might have landed in the punishment area..."
Gu Qinghan touched his chest; his heart was beating even faster than during the previous battle.
Just as he was about to see what reward he had received, he suddenly felt a surge of power within him.
That was... the feeling when Pioneer was triggered!
Gu Qinghan was genuinely surprised this time; he hadn't expected that the reward from the wheel of destiny could also be affected by the Pioneer's effect.
The light on the wheel slowly dissipated, and the words "One diamond-grade equipment" originally written in the direction the pointer indicated slowly faded, then changed to "Two diamond-grade equipment."
Qian Yuanqing, who was watching the show, was instantly dumbfounded. He looked at Gu Qinghan, then rubbed his eyes, and finally asked suspiciously, "Am I seeing things? Was it one diamond-grade equipment just now?"
Gu Qinghan laughed heartily and nodded, but he didn't explain much.
The attributes of these two pieces of equipment were quite good, a weapon and a pair of shoes, respectively, which could be given to the strong individuals in Whale Fall City later.
He rubbed his hands, wanting to open another reward while his luck was good.
This time, he had Gu Qingyuan condense a ball of Demonic Power, wanting to see if it could drive the wheel of destiny.
The result was somewhat disappointing to Gu Qinghan; Demonic Power could not drive the wheel, and even Dragon Power couldn't drive it.
"That's strange. 'Infuse powerful energy' didn't say it could only use Sacred Power.
It's reasonable that Demonic Power can't be used, after all, the power of demons was forcibly added to this game later.
But even Dragon Power doesn't work? Is Dragon Power not powerful enough?"
Gu Qinghan muttered to himself, but this didn't cause him any disappointment, as Gu Qingyuan's existence could save him a lot of Sacred Power.
The second time he used Sacred Power to drive the wheel of destiny, Gu Qinghan had Gu Qingyuan output twice the amount.
He wanted to see if increasing the output would change the reward or punishment, or if it would alter the number of rotations the wheel made.
However, the wheel spun too fast, and Gu Qinghan's eyes blurred from counting, so he could only come to a general conclusion.
It should have no effect; even if it did, the number of rotations wouldn't differ much.
And this time, Gu Qinghan received an effect: increase one level.
A pleasant sensation appeared, and Gu Qinghan directly leveled up to 61, but this time, the Pioneer's effect did not activate.
"Damn it, I want to play too!" Qian Yuanqing's eyes turned red from watching. He rubbed his hands, looking eagerly at Gu Qinghan, eager to try.
Gu Qinghan nodded. Such probabilistic things were indeed very addictive, especially after tasting the sweetness.
He gave Qian Yuanqing a portion of Sacred Power, letting him personally drive the wheel of destiny.
This time, Gu Qingyuan felt that the connection with the wheel of destiny had disappeared; it seemed to have connected to Qian Yuanqing instead.
Qian Yuanqing, with an excited expression, patted the Sacred Power into the wheel of destiny, then stared intently at the area the pointer was indicating.
"I want to level up too, I want to level up too! Leveling up is too hard now!"
Qian Yuanqing kept repeating, then personally watched the pointer land on the black area *after* the white area.
"Hahahaha, level reduced by one, what kind of luck is that!"
Gu Qinghan burst out laughing. He glanced at the level leaderboard, and Qian Yuanqing's level had already become 55.
Qian Yuanqing turned around and looked at Gu Qinghan with a look of utter despair, his expression almost on the verge of tears.
"Chief, let's go back to Africa, be good, let me handle this kind of thing."
Gu Qinghan pushed Qian Yuanqing aside and used the wheel of destiny one more time.
The wheel spun quickly then slowed down, but this time, as soon as the pointer entered the black area, it felt somewhat powerless.
Finally, the wheel stopped, under Qian Yuanqing's schadenfreude gaze, at the position where the black area was about to transition into the white area.
"I'm dying of laughter, all skill costs doubled, so my punishment is nothing at all, hahahaha!"
Qian Yuanqing clutched his stomach and laughed, tears even appearing in the corners of his eyes.
Gu Qinghan couldn't laugh this time. His skills already consumed a considerable amount of energy, and doubling it would definitely severely weaken his strength.
Even his highest damage skill, Death Judgment, he wouldn't be able to use frequently anymore.
Gu Qinghan's expression grew increasingly grim. He looked at the black and white wheel of destiny and murmured, "This wheel of destiny really does change a person's fate in an instant..."
