4: Sequence 999, The Joker

Rumble—

Just as Lin Du was in shock, the starry sky before him shattered like a mirror, piece by piece, and all the creatures on the mirror vanished without a trace along with it.

After the starry sky shattered, it revealed its original appearance.

A magnificent and solemn Golden Temple!

[Welcome, player, to universe ol!]

[You are currently located in the Creator Temple; next, the Creator will bestow upon you the most perfect class!]

In the very center of the Golden Temple stood a faceless, towering Golden Statue.

The Golden Statue stood with its feet on the ground, looking up at the starry sky, radiating an aura of absolute dominance.

Lin Du only glanced at the Golden Statue a few times before feeling a stinging pain in his eyes, as if tears were about to fall...

It was true that Lin Du had designed this game, but the Golden Temple was not in his original design, and neither were things like the game chip.

It seemed that after transmigrating to the Ancestral Star, it wasn't just the name of "Starry Sky OL" that had changed, but also some things Lin Du was unaware of.

[Dear player, please kiss the instep of the Creator and offer your most pious prayer to the great Creator!]

[After the Creator senses your sincerity, it will awaken your wisdom and bestow upon you a perfect class!]

Hearing the voice echoing in the temple, the corners of Lin Du's mouth twitched.

What kind of weirdo came up with this crazy setting!

Kiss the instep of a statue?

This is simply ridiculous!

As a proud man, how could Lin Du ever do something so tasteless?

If anything, the Golden Statue should be the one kissing his instep!

After all, Lin Du was the lead designer of this game.

[Ding! Hostility toward the Creator detected; the Creator will randomly bestow a class upon the player!]

The system prompt sounded without warning, leaving Lin Du dumbfounded.

He had only just had the thought, and yet it was actually sensed by the Golden Statue?

After this thought appeared, Lin Du immediately dismissed it.

Lin Du guessed that this probably had nothing to do with his thoughts, but was likely related to the "inferior primary game chip" he was using.

Primary game chips couldn't obtain high Sequence Class, perhaps it was stuck at the "kissing the instep" stage, and the system might have automatically assumed that players using primary game chips were not pious enough...

This was the most likely possibility Lin Du could think of at the moment.

"Don't mess with me! You must give me a high Sequence Class!" Lin Du prayed silently.

As the lead designer, Lin Du knew deeply the huge gap between the various classes; if he could awaken a high Sequence Class, then freedom from "lifespan value" worries wouldn't be far off...

Rumble—

A loud noise came from the Golden Temple again, and the Golden Statue, which had been looking up at the starry sky, suddenly lowered its head slowly.

From the chest area of the Golden Statue, a faint golden light spilled down and landed on Lin Du.

Bathed in the golden light, Lin Du felt as if he were about to take flight; an indescribable feeling of comfort enveloped his whole body, and every cell in his body was pulsing violently.

Lin Du had read books before and knew this was the normal process for obtaining a class.

The golden light slowly dissipated, and the comfortable feeling on Lin Du's body gradually vanished along with it...

[Congratulations, player, on successfully awakening your wisdom!]

[The Creator bestows upon you the class—Clown (Sequence 999)]

[Clown (Sequence 999): A class skilled in disguise]

[Strength Talent: F-Rank]

[Magic Talent: F-Rank]

[Defense Talent: F-Rank]

[Speed Talent: E-Rank]

[Class Overall Rating: F-Rank]

Sequence 999—Clown!!

Hearing this string of "F-Ranks," Lin Du's brain went blank in an instant, and his breathing stalled.

"The last Sequence Class?"

"The most useless Clown??"

"Heaven wants to destroy me!"

Lin Du was about to cry; he was, after all, the lead designer of this game, couldn't it show him a little respect?

When designing the game, the "Clown" class was just something one of his subordinates had thrown together to fill up the numbers; it had absolutely no strength to speak of.

Who would have thought that Lin Du, who had transmigrated here, would end up awakening it himself.

If he had known this, Lin Du would never have agreed to let his subordinate design the useless "Clown" class, even if it killed him.

"Pirated chips are dangerous!"

Lin Du's guts were turning green with regret; he now wanted to drag out that balding old man and beat him up.

Since the class could no longer be changed, he had no choice but to force himself to accept it.

With the memories of his previous life, Lin Du wouldn't be too miserable; he still had quite a few other trump cards in his hand.

...

Lin Du composed himself and focused all his attention on a mysterious wheel behind the Golden Statue.

Before entering the game, everyone had one chance to spin the wheel.

The wheel contained everything; players had the chance to obtain powerful weapons, advanced skills, top-tier pets, cool mounts, rare materials, city-building tokens, and other treasures...

All items in the game had a chance to be drawn from the wheel, and there were no level restrictions.

The existence of the wheel added a lot of uncertainty and playability to the game; it could be said that the wheel was also a rare opportunity to change one's fate.

The game Lin Du designed in his previous life didn't have the Golden Statue, but it did have this wheel before him.

The style of the wheel was basically the same as in his previous life, and as the lead designer, it was naturally impossible for Lin Du not to have left a few tricks up his sleeve...

Right now, his chance to defy fate had arrived.

[Please spin the Wheel of Fate!]

[There is only one chance, player, you must cherish it~]

Lin Du adjusted his breathing and slowly placed his hand on the wheel.

The wheel was shrouded in a thin layer of golden mist, looking extraordinarily mysterious and completely inscrutable.

Lin Du discarded all distracting thoughts and began to count silently in his heart.

At the same time, his hands began to move.

...

Lin Du's hands rhythmically took turns spinning the wheel, and when he counted to the number "144," he released both hands at the same time.

Whoosh—

Driven by inertia, the wheel spun rapidly, showing no signs of stopping.

Lin Du held his breath, fearing that his slightest movement might affect the normal rotation of the wheel.

The spinning of the wheel tugged at Lin Du's nerves; back then, in order to have some "small advantages" when playing the game himself, he had set up quite a few "small bugs" in the game that only he knew about.

These small bugs wouldn't change the normal progression of the game, but they would allow Lin Du to be a step ahead of others in the game.

Time passed second by second, and the speed of the wheel slowly began to decrease...

Finally, with a crisp "ding," the wheel stopped spinning completely.

At the same time, a dazzling golden light erupted from the wheel, stinging people's eyes, as if an earth-shattering treasure had been revealed.

[Wheel of Fate spin successful!]

[Congratulations, player, on obtaining the SSS-Rank passive skill—heart of the goddess of luck (Unique)]
