"So, should I buy something or take a spin on the prize wheel?" Ryu looked at his diamond count—over 30,000 now, all thanks to his previous raids on pirates.
"Forget it, I'll just save up until I have 120,000 and buy the advanced movement technique manual!" Ryu had been eyeing a high-level movement technique for a while now: One Mile Step priced at a hefty 120,000 diamonds.
But seeing the newly added prize wheel, he couldn't resist the urge to take a spin.
"Just once—one spin for a manual and one for a treasure. It's only 20,000 diamonds. Worst case, I can always go mess with Crocodile. If I remember right, his bounty was reinstated after he lost his Warlord status, set at around 80 million berries—nearly enough for one spin."
After a moment of consideration, Ryu decided to go for it.
He cleansed himself, then opened the manual draw first.
"You have spent 10,000 diamonds for a chance at a manual!"
"You have received a mid-level movement technique manual: Traceless Steps!"
Ryu was stunned—it was a mid-level movement technique manual. Was this a sign? A way of telling him not to buy the advanced one yet? Maybe just make do with the mid-level manual? He hesitated, unsure if he should save it for advancement later or just learn it now.
"Does this mean my luck is bad today? Should I still go for the treasure?" Ryu scratched his chin, but eventually decided to try it. He wasn't sure what the treasure pool contained, so one spin would at least give him an idea.
"You have spent 10,000 diamonds for a chance at a treasure!"
"You have received Xuan Ice and Jade Fire Wine x1."
Ryu was dumbfounded. Wine? Really? He'd won... a bottle of wine?
Yes, an actual bottle. Taking it out of his inventory, he examined the Xuan Ice and Jade Fire Wine. It came in an elegant emerald-green bottle, carved with designs of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum. But judging by his tolerance, he figured he'd finish it in a single gulp.
Still, he didn't drink it right away; instead, he carefully checked its description in his inventory.
"Xuan Ice and Jade Fire Wine: Crafted with the Nine Revolving Pills and Blazing Fire Elixir. Consuming it requires inner power to refine it, thereby increasing one's inner strength."
"A treasure that increases inner strength!" Ryu's eyes widened in disbelief, and he re-read it just to be sure.
"It's real! It actually boosts inner strength! And it's something you can't buy in the shop. I knew sometimes you just have to gamble!" Excited, Ryu took out the Xuan Ice and Jade Fire Wine and eagerly took a sip.
"Ah... good stuff!" It had the flavor of the baijiu from his previous life but without the harshness, making it go down smoothly.
"Hmm? What's this?"
As the wine settled, his inner strength seemed to ignite, and he quickly began refining it as instructed. Moments later, he opened his eyes and looked at the bottle, his gaze practically shining.
Just that one sip had been equivalent to several days of hard training. But the bottle was small; it probably wouldn't grant much more inner strength. Still, knowing that treasures from the prize wheel could be this valuable made it worthwhile.
Resisting the urge to down the entire bottle in one go, Ryu glanced at his remaining 11,549 diamonds, already feeling the itch for another treasure spin.
