Chapter 567: Too many surprises
The person that Cloud Peak sent was called Ling Yan. When she appeared on the battlefield, a number appeared on the heads of all the humans and ocean beasts.
The first guy to come out had a number 1. The Japanese had the number 2. Ling Yan had the number 3.
From 4 onwards, it was on the side of the ocean beasts. The last number was 4351.
4351 lifeforms chose to challenge the first wheel.
As expected, the notification sounded, and the battlefield closed. The challenge began.
That depressed West Asian body was shifted to the center of the battlefield.
“Challenger, please enter.”
The West Asian’s number turned red, and the other lifeforms turned blue.
“He had to challenge all of them alone?”
Little Xiu asked in disbelief. If that were the case, the first person would be too depressed? Wasn’t he destined to fail?
“No.”
Guang Yao shook his head.
“I think this is why the wheel is smart.” Guang Yao’s voice was heavy, “Don’t forget that there are 50 spins. This means that you can choose to risk your life, and you can also choose to wait for the next challenger to appear.”
“The person chosen is at a disadvantage, but as long as he shows terrifying strength, then it might be a good thing.”
The others agreed with what Guang Yao said. If the challenge continued, then one spin was enough. There was no need for 50 spins.
This resulted in a need to judge your opponent’s strength. It also depended on whether you countered your opponent. If the reward was spun and didn’t disappear, it didn’t matter. But if the reward disappeared, then you had to pay attention to the challenge order and if the wheel still had the reward you needed.
From this angle, the people who fought first would have an advantage.
All in all, the pros and cons depended on the order of appearance.
Humans were often cautious when facing such choices. The Japanese and Ling Yan didn’t move when the challenge started, but the ocean beasts went crazy.
Many ocean beasts charged towards the battlefield, and the situation was so frightening that the first person shivered.
Very quickly, the ocean beasts that had a higher priority appeared on the battlefield.
The West Asian was a two-star evolved, and the first ocean beast that challenged him, number 1876, was a level-two lifeform. There was nothing good to say, and both sides clashed.
As this was the first battle, both sides paid close attention. Even if such a battle didn’t mean much to the high-level lifeforms, they wanted to see what would happen once the battle ended.
The battle wasn’t too exciting, but it was bloody. The West Asian paid the price of an arm to kill the ocean beast.
The human faction sighed. The challenger was in a bad state and couldn’t win another battle.
Many ocean beasts roared with bloodthirst and wanted to take advantage of the situation.
But a gold light caused both sides to quieten down. The 1st challenger’s injuries healed up, and he was back to normal in just a few seconds.
Facing such changes, the survivor cheered emotionally. Many people couldn’t understand what he was saying, but it was probably about how his injuries were healed.
Many ocean beasts that wanted to challenge him paused.
The value of the rewards on this wheel was higher than regular level-one wheels, but it was still a level-one wheel. The rewards were good but not overpowered, so high-level lifeforms didn’t participate in this battle.
Out of the 4351 challengers, the highest level was three-star. The two-star West Asian was very strong, and with 50 spins, was it worth it to battle a strong level-two evolved?
Not only would humans think about that, but the ocean beasts that received the wheel’s message also knew how to judge the situation.
Thus, the notification that challengers could battle rang out, but no one entered the battlefield.
Fifteen seconds later, the system recognized him as the winner.
The West Asian who thought he would die was delighted. He didn’t expect happiness to arrive so suddenly. He was then allowed to enter the metal room to spin twice.
But the needle stopped on those white spots. He didn’t get anything and wasted 20 level-one crystals.
But the two white regions disappeared, and 98 areas were left.
“I told you the wheel wasn’t so nice; they treat us like monkeys!” Little Tiger shouted in rage.
He wasn’t too angry, but he hated being played by others due to his personality.
Ye Zhongming shook his head and pointed at the ocean beast wave, “I think they are the angrier ones.”
“Why?” Guang Yao was willing to speak with Ye Zhongming as he could learn much from his mouth.
“They don’t have money!”
The moment he said that, everyone understood.
Right, their money was the crystals on the heads of the humans, but no human died, and they didn’t get a single crystal. Even if the three human evolved on the first wheel died, that was just three crystals. They couldn’t spin the wheel once.
In other words, without enough humans fighting, even if the beasts succeeded, they could only watch.
“Does that mean if we work together and send a few people each round, they wouldn’t get a single reward?”
Little Xiu’s eyes lit up and suggested.
Ye Zhongming and Guang Yao looked at each other and shook their heads.
That was the theory. But the problem was, if humans sent a few people, how could they ensure that each faction gained what they wanted? So her idea wasn’t practical.
With this problem, the only benefit was on the first few wheels.
Hearing their explanation, the humans felt like the Ocean King Wheel was a test of intelligence. There were too many surprises.
