41 Chapter 41 – Prize Wheel Draw

The slowing hand of the spinning wheel looked like it was about to stop in a blank segment, and Su Mo started to feel nervous.

He had not played slot machines before, and he did not know the allure of these things.

"Come on, a bit more. Just a bit more to the Attack +20." Su Mo did not want his third reward to be a participation award.

The hand was moving incredibly slowly, but it was still moving, and it finally reached the Attack +20 segment, causing Su Mo to let out a sigh of relief.

However, he had celebrated too early.

"Wait, stop moving. Are you an idiot?"

The hand slowly moved past the Attack+20, towards the next segment—another damn participation award. Surely this prize wheel was rigged.

When it reached the second participation award, the hand became even slower, looking like it was about to stop.

Su Mo sat on the ground in despair. If it was Su Xiaojiu, she definitely would have started to loudly cry. That girl cried often and especially loudly.

During one mission, his team had thought that he had died. They followed the procedure and sent news to his family, and after hearing about this, Su Xiaojiu's tears nearly flooded the house. In the end, she fainted from crying and continued to cry after waking up. Fortunately, Su Mo had been found not too long after, and news of his survival had been quickly sent to his family.

Otherwise, she might really have cried herself to death.

Thinking of Su Xiaojiu, Su Mo's heart became soft. What mattered most was his family doing well; this was just a game.

If he won, that would be good; if he did not win, that was fine too.

It was just a game!

Su Mo stood up and saw that the hand was still spinning, and it had moved past the participation award, heading towards the next segment—the right to rank up.

If this had been at the start, he would have cheered, but now, he felt that it would definitely keep spinning.

The hand seemed to know what he was thinking—when he expected it to stop, it kept spinning, and when he expected it to keep going, it actually stopped in the rank up segment.

The system notified that he had obtained the right to rank up.

Su Mo checked Lafu's body and did not find the right to rank up hidden anywhere. In the end, he could only hope that the system would not scam him.

The prize wheel disappeared and Su Mo was teleported away.

He appeared in an unfamiliar place; he was no longer inside the Monster Tower, but he was not right outside either. The System God most likely did not want these monsters to kill each other, or perhaps the System God could only randomly teleport him because he was a roaming monster.

Su Mo moved his body and looked at the new skill he had obtained.

Cleave, Level 1, Active Skill, Cooldown Time: five seconds, Deals 105% of Basic Attack as damage and causes 15% Bleeding damage per second in the next three seconds.

It was an attack skill and dealt a bit less damage than Claw Strike's 120% Basic Attack damage, but it had a Damage Over Time effect. Overall, Cleave's total damage was 150%; it just took some time.

Su Mo did not have to run back to the Newbie Village; he only needed to change back to his own character and call back Lafu.

Su Mo opened his eyes on the bed and slowly sat up.

After using Lafu's body for so long, he became a bit unaccustomed to his own body.

After calling back Lafu, Su Mo fed him some food before once again switching to Lafu's body. He wanted to see what the monsters were chatting about, especially those who had come back from the Monster Tower.

Red Bristle Pigman Ruger: I didn't see what you were talking about; I was just responsible for defending my own stage.

Black-backed Jackal Wip: I passed the first round but failed the second round, and I only got a skill reward. The question was too hard—it asked me, if there are 12 candles on a table and the wind blew out three, and another gust of wind blew out another two, how many candles are left… do you guys know the answer?

Boar Commander Sam: Haha, I know, it's seven candles. Even pigs can work out such an easy question. I look down on you.

Black-backed Jackal Wip: Ahaha…

Coyote Chief Kado: It's 12. Brothers, did you all become dumb? Did all of your nutrients go to your muscles and not your brains? Even though they were extinguished, the candles are still there. There should still be 12 candles.

Black Bear Chief Dablin: Mhmm, that's what I thought too. I got the same answer as the dumb dog.

Tiger King Angus: Fudge, I can't work it out. Even if I entered the Monster Tower, it would be useless; I don't have enough Intelligence. Pease, did you work it out? I know you're there; the Monster Tower just ended and I'm sure you're lurking.

Gray-Headed Wolf King Pease: Ai, half strength and half luck. Looks like those seniors were right, it's best to pray that you don't encounter these ridiculous questions. Just let me fight.

Following this, some monsters discussed the rewards they had received from the Monster Tower this time.

Savage Wolf Lafu: Big brothers, what does a right to rank up do?

Coyote Chief Kado: No way, Lafu, you entered the Monster Tower? And you obtained a right to rank up?

Tiger King Angus: Ai, Lafu, just what is your background? Are you a Boss from Avinami Highlands?

Su Mo was about to say that he was asking out of curiosity and dodge the question, but he suddenly stopped. Based on his understanding, if Lafu reached Level 30 and ranked up, he would naturally enter a higher-level channel. How would he explain things if he met monsters from here?

As such, he had to think of a good explanation.

Savage Wolf Lafu: My owner, Haus, is a trader. He travels all over the place, so as his pet, I follow him everywhere. I don't know how I was chosen to be an Apostle.

Boar Commander Sam: Grandpa, you're my grandpa. So Lafu is the real powerhouse.

Coyote Chief Kado: I envy you so much. I thought you were a Mini Boss like us, Lafu; so you were this awesome. Doesn't that mean you can run all over the map?

Tiger King Angus: Let's swap, Lafu. I also want to roam around with that trader called Haus.

Gray-Headed Wolf King Pease: Ai, Lafu, I really admire you. If I could go anywhere I wanted, I could challenge even more opponents. Then again, there are still many existences in Lancelow Plains that I can't beat yet.

Su Mo didn't expect his casually-fabricated story to be accepted so easily.

He could not say that he was the pet of a player, or else the monsters would feel that there was an impostor among them. Saying that he was an NPC's pet got around this issue.

Savage Wolf Lafu: Are there any other benefits to a right to rank up?

Tiger King Angus: It mainly increases your strength, and it is very significant. If I fought with Pease now, I'd only have a 30% chance of winning, but if I ranked up, Pease would not be able to beat me.

Su Mo chatted for a bit more and gained some information.

In actuality, Lafu going from Common to Elite was already a rank up, and his stats and skills had all been strengthened. For him, a right to rank up was not as important as for ordinary monsters.

Even without this kind of right to rank up, Lafu would be able to level up with Su Mo above Level 30. Su Mo wondered if he would be able to enter a higher-level channel.

As for these monsters, if they did not obtain a right to rank up, they would never be able to break past Level 30.

As such, in a sense, the Attack +20 was more suitable for the current Lafu.

Su Mo also understood that monsters that had ranked up could also come back for short visits in the channel. Some had come back before, but Su Mo had not been present.

After this was over, Su Mo started to think about ways to earn money, as well as selling his two Taming Scrolls.
