Their effects didn’t share cooldowns. He could use the first effect to fight it out. If he lost, he’d still have the second to escape.

If players from his past life knew this coin—touched by countless hands—was a legendary item, many would rage until they went mad.

After the Sacred Temple collapsed into rubble, the system announced:

[Mission Complete: [Direction] Reward: Legendary Chest ×1

Lucky Roulette ×1

Task Completion Card ×1

1,000,000 EXP]

[Level Up — Current Level: 14]

[Ding! S-Rank Mission [Direction] updated to [Seeking] Mission Description: Follow your heart]

Notifications bombarded Zhang Luan’s ears. He scanned the long reward list, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

No wonder it was an S-rank mission. The rewards were insane.

Both the Lucky Roulette and Task Completion Card were rare treasures. The million EXP alone boosted him past level 14.

The only unfamiliar item was the Legendary Chest. Could it really drop legendary gear?

But when he saw its description, his face flushed crimson. His whole body trembled. He was speechless.

[Legendary Chest]:

Guaranteed to yield one legendary item upon opening.

It really could drop a legendary item.

How precious were legendary items! In his past life, among tens of millions of players, owners of such gear could be counted on one hand. Mythical items were even rarer.

If this chest gave him gear to skyrocket his level, that’d be perfect.

Zhang Luan suddenly remembered two unused Lucky Roulettes from yesterday. With today’s spin, that made three. His EX-tier luck should net at least a rare item.

He summoned the Lucky Roulette. His slender finger flicked the wheel.

Whirr… whirr…

As the wheel slowed and stopped, a mysterious black longbow materialized in his hand.

[Shadowhorn Bow]

Tier: Rare

"Not bad for EX luck. Even a random spin gives rare gear."

Equipment tiers in the Alien God world were: Common, Uncommon, Advanced, Rare, Legendary, Mythical.

Rare was solid. Players would treasure this bow like a relic.

Without hesitation, he spun the second roulette. The whirring returned.

When it halted, a dim light flickered.

As the glow faded, a ruby-encrusted necklace appeared.

[Peerless Beauty Necklace]

Tier: Legendary

Effect 1: Immune to all mind control, curses, sleep effects.

Effect 2: When attacked, auto-triggers [Peerless Beauty], charming all units in range. Duration scales with Intelligence.

Effect 3: Wearing this forcibly changes gender to female. Reverts upon removal.

Evaluation: A peerless beauty~ Wait, you’re a man? Even better then?

Zhang Luan thrilled at "Legendary." After the first two effects, he nearly equipped it. But the third made him almost hurl it away.

Joke’s on him. Sacrifice his manly pride for a stat-boosting trinket? No way!

That lewd evaluation gave him goosebumps.

He hesitated, then stored the necklace.

"Hmph! I’d never use such a thing to tarnish my masculinity! I’m just collecting it!"

One spin left. Though a legendary drop was lucky, he craved more. What if he got something higher…

Whirr-whirr-whirr…

The wheel spun for nearly a minute. When it stopped, heavy rain poured from the sky.

As if welcoming a birth.

Zhang Luan stared at the item in his palm, stunned.

A black, ancient disc lay quietly there.

[Chaos Wheel]

Tier: Mythical

Effect 1: ???

Effect 2: ???

Effect 3: ???

Effect 4: Pay 50 years of lifespan for 1000% all stats boost for 30 seconds.

Effect 5: Chaos Reversal (Pay 50 years lifespan to reverse one judgment)

Evaluation: A half-broken relic from unknown times. Repairable with fragments?

"My… Mythical?"

Shock gave way to wild joy. He pinched his cheek hard. The sharp pain confirmed he wasn’t dreaming.

He never expected a mythical item from the Lucky Roulette.

He’d thought the legendary necklace was the limit. Mythical gear was just hype. Yet holding this wheel felt unreal.

"Calm down. It’s just a mythical item. I’m reborn. Small waves don’t faze me. Besides, I have the Ultimate Anomaly Stone…"

But in his past life, he’d never seen a mythical item! The Ultimate Anomaly was rumor. The stone had fused into his body, invisible now.

He took deep breaths, forcing calm. The Chaos Wheel was overpowered—but it cost life.

Fifty years of lifespan sounded terrifying. An average person lived barely a century. To use this well, he’d need lifespan-boosting items. Luckily, they existed, just rare.

At level 100, a life evolution would make lifespan irrelevant anyway.

Rain still poured. Zhang Luan sheltered in a cave, heart racing.

"So cold."

The bone-chilling drops reminded him of his past life.

He’d been just another failed player. Among millions, he was slightly more hardworking.

He clawed into a high-tier guild, only to be shoved into an ice dragon’s breath over an item.

He was greedy, yet his yielding cost his life.

Now reborn, if he didn’t fight for himself, what was life worth?

Everything was to survive, climb higher, beyond anyone’s reach.

Then, no one could hurt him again.

He’d get everything he wanted.

Use every advantage.

Unlike others, he had no family or friends for comfort. Only himself.

Without effort, he’d live miserably.

Understanding this, the rain felt less cold. He rubbed his arms and opened the last Legendary Chest.

"Heh, with my luck, I’ll get a super combat item. Let’s see what you’ve got~"

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained [Culinary God's Spicy Pot]]
