Chapter 856 - Death God’s Wheel

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle!”

Jiaojiao jumped further and further, her movements superbly smooth.

Qian’er had given up, but after some observation, Li Yi jumped onto the first gear.

Although Li Yi’s movements were not as smooth as Jiaojiao’s, he was also very slow and steady. He jumped in his own time, but he managed to reach safety every time.

He had cleared countless such stages in the eight years of his past life.

Although there was some talent involved in it, all games had to be accommodating to some extent. Most stages could be cleared immediately by talented players, but the slightly less talented ones could still pass if they practiced a little harder.

Li Yi was the type to practice until he made it perfect. He had not had many friends or party members in the past life, so when he bumped into a difficult stage, he had to solve it all by himself. That was also why he was such a powerful solo p player.

There were many hidden treasure chests throughout the reward stage, but every single one of them ended up in Jiaojiao’s Backpack, no exceptions. When the players cleared the stage, they also had a chance to spin the Death God’s Wheel. If they were lucky enough, it was not impossible to get a Divine Weapon from that.

There were twenty-five members in the party, making twenty-five treasure chests and 2,500 Silver Coins in total. Jiaojiao got every single one.

She had cleared 100% of the stage!

It was a perfect finish!

Before Li Yi even completed the stage, large golden words appeared out of nowhere. Immediately after that, his vision blurred and he was forcefully dragged out of the stage.

[Since a member of your party has successfully cleared 100% of the stage, you have been fortunate enough to receive the Death God’s Gift. Every member of the party will be resurrected, and everyone is allowed to spin the Death God’s Wheel one additional time.]

“Huh?”

“My god, what happened?”

It was not just Li Yi. Every member of the party had been sent back to the tenth floor, and the dead members were all resurrected. All twenty-five of them were here!

“100% completion? That’s nuts.”

“Is this the Death God’s easter egg?”

“Wahaha, we get to sleep the wheel twice! I love to bits, Your Majesty the Queen.”

“You’re the best, Your Majesty the Queen...”

Although Jiaojiao had abdicated a long time ago, many people were still used to calling her Queen.

After being the monarch for almost four years, Jiaojiao’s image as a Queen was already entrenched in the Pantheon players’ minds.

Jiaojiao’s excellent performance meant that every member of the party was resurrected, and everyone also had the chance to spin the Death God’s Wheel twice.

“Kekkekkekke, looks like you got quite the haul. Alright then, let’s play another game...”

A giant wheel appeared in midair, and the red-robed spirit showed up afterward.

“Me first, me first!”

The party members ran up to the wheel, clamoring over who would be first to spin.

Every time the Death God’s Wheel was spun, some random items would appear on it. There was a large assortment of them, including almost every item within the 200 levels of King of Pantheon.

Before the Death God’s Wheel started spinning, the items listed on it were enough to get anyone drooling.

The worst prize was 10 Random Teleportation Scrolls, and the best was an Orange Quality Staff, the Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff.

Other than those, there were Purple Quality Weapons for all the classes, thirty items in all. There were also two skulls, and anyone who accidentally got the skulls would have their souls taken away by the red-robed spirit.

“Me, me first!”

“F*ck, I wanna go first!”

“Which f*cker is pressing the wheel? Don’t fight!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Motherf*ckers, stay away from the wheel! There are too many of you, the wheel won’t spin.”

Ever since it was introduced, the Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff had never been anything less than the top ten best Divine Weapons. Everyone knew just how much that thing was worth, and that was why those players insisted on going first.

Every time the Death God’s Wheel was spun, the items on it would change. The prizes were decent this time, but they might not be so lucky next time.

“Leader, why don’t you decide? Everyone’s surrounding it so the wheel can’t turn. We can’t spin it like this.”

Only then did the players remember Li Yi.

“We’ll decide according to the DPS, healing, and damage tanking stats.”

If it was anything else, Li Yi might step aside and give it to another. When he saw the Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff, however, he immediately changed his mind.

Although he did not need this, the new King Fatty desperately did.

Li Yi was the undisputed champion when it came to DPS, and with Little Elf from the Magical Realm here, who else could be the top healer? As for main tanks, Jiaojiao was also undeniably the top.

No matter how he arranged it, his people had the first round of spins.

“Urk, since the leader has spoken, guess we don’t have a choice.”

“Yeah...”

“Follow the leader, I guess.”

The other players were a little dissatisfied, but their statistics could not keep up at all, so what right did they have to keep arguing?

After everyone else stepped back, Li Yi sent Jiaojiao up for the first spin.

“Why me?”

“Who else but you deserves to spin this wheel?”

“Wahahaha, wahahaha...”

Jiaojiao was so proud she could barely keep her smile down, and she stepped up to the plate as the first to spin.

“Ratata...”

The Death God’s Wheel started spinning, and it moved very quickly, its arrow pointing at a blur of motion...

“Stop, stop, stop! I don’t want the stick, I just want that Decorative Chubby Bear Pet.”

Jiaojiao started at the wheel, mumbling all the while.

She was not interested in the Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff at all, but she was extremely interested in a Chubby Bear Pet that could not do anything but act cute.

“Staff, staff! I want the staff!”

Unlike Jiaojiao, Li Yi wanted nothing more than for her to get the Orange Quality Staff.

“Ta... ta... ta!”

After spinning rapidly, the red arrow began to slow down and eventually stopped at the Chubby Bear Pet.

A chubby little bear appeared at Jiaojiao’s feet, holding out its chubby little paw and scratching at her heel.

“Yes! Yes! Yesss~”

Jiaojiao was visibly excited to get the prize she wanted.

“Kekkekkekke, you’re pretty lucky, little girl. Do you want to give it another try?”

The red-robed spirit cackled a few times and the Death God’s Wheel emitted a powerful light. The items on it changed.

The Exorcist’s Admonishing Quarterstaff was gone, and the top prize became a Level 180 Purple Quality two-handed greatsword.

“The Orange Quality Weapon...”

“Sob...”

“It’s gone.”

“Sooob, if only I’d been the first to try.”

Jiaojiao received the pet she wanted, but everyone else was heartbroken.

After all, that was an Orange Quality Weapon. Even if they did not use it, they could still sell it for a decent amount.

No one was very interested in the second roll. The best prize was just a Level 180 Purple Quality two-handed greatsword, and the worst was a useless piece of Small Wild Boar Pelt.

Jiaojiao had one more go at the wheel. Although she did not like the prizes on offer, if she declined to spin now, she would just lose her last chance to spin later too. It was now or never.

“Whatever, stop wherever you like...”

Jiaojiao was still ecstatic over the Chubby Bear she got, so she just spun the wheel casually and said she did not mind whatever she obtained.

“Ratata...”

The red arrow spun and finally landed on the Level 180 Purple Quality two-handed greatsword.

[Soulreaper’s Decapitation Sword (Purple Quality, Epic)]

[Equipment Level: Level 180]

[5500–12000 ATK]

[STR +8]

[END +800]

[ATK SPD 3.0]

[Special effect: Reduces target’s mana.]

[Special effect: Upon decapitating the target, their soul can be trapped for 30 seconds. A weakened version of Soul Bind, also ineffective against Territory Power or Divine Spells.]

[Soulreaper Slash (Special skill): Deals a slash that temporarily increases ATK by 250%. If it hits the target, it may trigger Fear. Skill countdown: 1 hour.]

[Note: This was once Soulreaper Ardolan’s weapon. It’s covered in blood.]

[“It smells too strongly of blood. I don’t like it.”—the sword’s previous owner, Violent Warrior, Aloushe.]

...

It was a very decent weapon. Players who did not insist on pushing the boundaries could use this to the end.

“It doesn’t really matter to me. I have the Disaster Greatsword.]

“Teacher... I...”

Zhang Yan ran to Jiaojiao and whispered in her ear.

“You want it? Sure, take it.”

Jiaojiao gave the Decapitation Sword to Zhang Yan generously.

“Thank you, Teacher.” Zhang Yan accepted it, blushing. She was a Violent Warrior, so this sort of two-handed weapon with high ATK was perfect for her.

“What a waste.”

Li Yi taunted her from behind, angering Zhang Yan so much that she nearly rushed over and scratched his face off.

The Death God’s Wheel glowed again, and the prizes changed once more.

“Whoa...”

“Whoa...”

“No way...”

When the party members saw the items on the wheel this time, they lost their collective cool.

The Orange Quality Staff was back, but there was an additional Orange Quality Sword now too, Oberon’s Radiant Sword. This was one of the best one-handed swords, much better than even Brother Windcloud Nine’s Blazing Judgment.

Li Yi called up the next person to spin. “Little Elf, you’re up.”

Little Elf from the Magical Realm was the best healer, so she had the right to be the second to spin.

“Ratata...”

The red arrow spun rapidly. Missus Rong probably used too much force because the red arrow spun for forever without even slowing down. It was only when others began to become bored that it finally slowed down...

It missed both Orange Quality Weapons and ended up at a skull.

Just then, the red-robed skull waved at Little Elf from the Magical Realm slightly, and Little Elf from the Magical Realm immediately collapsed to the ground. They saw her soul fly out of her body and into the red-robed spirit’s sleeve...

She had failed the draw, so the Death God had taken her soul!

Little Elf from the Magical Realm was just too unlucky. Dying here meant that her second turn had gone to waste...

“What a shame.”

“D*mn, that luck is incredibly bad.”

“Hahaha, that’s crazy.”

The Death God’s Wheel stopped because Little Elf from the Magical Realm had failed to win anything. As a result, the prizes remained unchanged.

Li Yi frowned and shouted, “Who wants the next turn?”

Li Yi was the highest damage dealer, but when he said that, he clearly meant that he was giving this chance to another.

“Me, me, me!”

“I want it...”

“F*ck, pick me...”

“All you f*ckers stay away! I’ll take it!”

The party erupted into chaos again.
