8: Chapter 8 The Real Lucky One

"One more spin! One more spin! One more spin!"

The excited jeers of the girls rose and fell one after another.

This ambiguously double-entendre chant made black lines hang from Qi Yun's forehead.

These girls really love to stir up trouble!

The elder sister, Lin Wan, was stunned for a second, her brain seemingly experiencing a temporary crash while processing such a shocking statement.

Her gentle and beautiful face was instantly flushed with red.

After realizing what happened, she walked quickly to Lin Le and patted her on the head twice.

"What are you saying? Xiao Le, if you make such jokes again, see if I don't beat you!"

If you trigger the clan leaders blessing with me, doesn't that mean serving Qi Yun together?

Lin Le rubbed her head, turned her head to meet her sister's gaze, and spoke in a very firm tone.

"Sister, look into my eyes, believe in me!"

That gaze held confidence, seriousness, pride, and even an unquestionable certainty.

She was like a different person from the lively, mischievous, and cynical younger sister she usually was.

That gaze was too penetrating.

Lin Wan seemed to see some kind of unquestionable "luck" circulating?

As if possessed, she subconsciously followed her sister's firm gaze and murmured in response.

"Fine."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Lin Wan froze.

Wait! What did I just agree to?! What does "fine" mean?! Agreeing to be with her...?

No!! No! This is clearly just a joke! An outrageous joke made by that girl Lin Le without knowing the height of the sky or the depth of the earth!

Lin Le puffed out her chest, turned back to face the crowd, especially looking at Qi Yun, her bright eyes filled with the expectation and urging of "I've said this much, why haven't you agreed yet?"

Qi Yun was also caught off guard by this sudden "sisterly consensus."

Looking at the twins in front of him who had practiced ballet since childhood and whose elegant figures were hard to hide even in simple leaves, their unadorned faces were breathtakingly beautiful.

It's no wonder they had so many fans online.

Qi Yun took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed those messy thoughts.

The top priority is the lottery, is food! Everything else... can wait until later!

He coughed heavily twice, pulling everyone back from the shocking mental fantasies of the "twin sisters":

"Ahem, Lin Le, stop talking nonsense, you take this first draw."

Having received Qi Yun's agreement, Lin Le jumped up excitedly and gave Qi Yun a bear hug.

The soft touch lasted only a moment before separating, and she turned around joyfully, standing directly in front of the brilliant 【Lucky Roulette】.

"Yay! Love you, Clan Leader."

Lin Le rubbed her hands excitedly, closed her eyes, her exquisite face tensed up, and she muttered to herself.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, European Emperor Lin Le, manifest! Golden Legend! Golden Legend! Golden Legend!"

Her appearance was both pious and funny. The next moment, Lin Le pressed the start button in the center of the roulette wheel with lightning speed.

In an instant, the roulette wheel shone brightly, and the pointer began to spin rapidly.

You could hear a pin drop in the entire thatched cottage. Everyone held their breath, their eyes locked tightly on the rapidly spinning pointer.

Everyone's heartbeat was clearly audible.

Lin Wan also temporarily forgot her shyness and nervously gripped her clothes.

What if... what if it hits white, do I really have to... do that? Just thinking about it made her cheeks burn again.

The speed of the pointer gradually slowed down. White... blue... purple... gold...

The pointer tremblingly slid past the large white area, slowly approaching the boundary between blue and purple. Then, at an extremely slow speed, it continued forward. Moving toward the hair-thin golden area!

"Go... golden..." someone muttered unconsciously.

Everyone's heart was beating too violently, as if it were about to jump out of their throat the next moment.

Gold! Gold! Gold!

The pointer, as if it had Parkinson's, trembled violently, tremblingly, tremblingly... finally swept past that dividing line! Arrived at the golden area, stop! Stop! Stop!

But the pointer was still turning slowly. A second ago, everyone was praying for it to turn. And this second, everyone was praying for it to stop!

However, the pointer was still moving forward stubbornly at a turtle's pace that was difficult for the naked eye to detect! It was about to slide out of the golden area and fall into the vast white hell next to it!

Lin Wan's brain had already uncontrollably begun to play some indescribable, blushing scenes.

Just at this critical moment!

"Stop—for—me!!!!!!!!!!"

A clear shout, like an Empress's decree, exploded with an unquestionable, majestic momentum!

Lin Le clenched her pink fist, held it high, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, slammed her fist hard onto the start button in the center of the roulette wheel! "Bang!"

A dull sound came, and the roulette wheel seemed to vibrate. Qi Yun's heart trembled: My goodness! This is a treasure! Don't break it!

Amazingly, the pointer, which had been stubbornly moving, was struck by this "European Emperor's Fist" and, as if truly forcibly ordered, suddenly paused.

Then it stopped steadily on the hair-thin dividing line between the golden area and the white area! The pointer finally stopped miraculously, perfectly on that intersection line. White? Or gold?

The air solidified. This second was as long as a century. The next moment, boom! The brilliant golden light, like the rising sun, erupted!

It instantly illuminated the entire thatched cottage, lighting up every face filled with expectation and tension! Golden Legend!!! It really is a Golden Legend!!!

Standing in front of the roulette wheel, Lin Le, shrouded in golden light, slowly turned around. The golden light plated her exquisite profile and beautiful figure with a layer of sacred light.

At that moment, she seemed to be a real Empress who had descended to the mortal world, holding the power of luck. She parted her red lips slightly and spat out only one word, her tone flat, yet it seemed accompanied by a dragon's roar, carrying a majesty that made people submit: "Kneel."

Convinced! Everyone was convinced! Thump! Thump! I don't know who took the lead, but immediately after, all the girls in the room, except for Lin Wan, and even including Qi Yun, were drawn by some invisible force and involuntarily knelt on one knee!

This was not humiliation, but an instinctive reaction of heartfelt shock at the "European Emperor's" luck and a prayer to get some of that good fortune!

Lin Le's gaze calmly swept over the kneeling crowd and finally fell on Qi Yun in front of her. She walked gracefully to Qi Yun, lowered her eyes slightly, and looked down at him.

She extended the right hand that had just pressed the start button, "ordered" the roulette wheel to stop, and now seemed to be surrounded by the power of luck. "Kiss."

Another word. She lowered her eyelids slightly, her long eyelashes casting fan-shaped shadows under the golden light, waiting.

This hand was fair, slender, with long fingers, and slightly red from the force of hitting the roulette wheel just now. This was the "Authority of the European Emperor," the "Summoning of the Golden Legend," the "Hand of Luck" that had just brought great hope to the entire Tribe.

Qi Yun did not hesitate for a moment, reached out, and gently supported Lin Le's extended right hand. The girl's hand was cool and felt delicate. He lowered his head, and his lips lightly touched the smooth back of her hand like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Ritual complete." Lin Le withdrew her hand and said the last two words. The solemnity on her face melted away instantly, replaced by her familiar, slightly smug, and radiant smile.

"Wow! Lin Le, you are so cool!" "European Emperor! You really are the European Emperor!" "Let me kiss it too, let me kiss it!" The girls crowded around, chattering excitedly.

The girls woke up as if from a dream, instantly erupting into tsunami-like cheers and screams, crowding around and chattering. "Ahem, low profile, low profile." Lin Le cleared her throat, put her hands behind her back, and tried to keep a straight face. "Standard procedure, don't be surprised."

Qi Yun's attention was completely drawn to the items beneath the roulette wheel, which were slowly forming along with the golden light.

【Golden Legend Reward Issued! Congratulations on obtaining:】 【Happy Water Tank: Can infinitely produce pure drinking water and "Happy Water" (Cola). The purity of the water is constantly at the optimal level.】 【Special Item: fortune compass.】

【Usage: Red needle indicates good fortune, white needle indicates bad fortune. Automatically detects dangerous things within one kilometer; if danger is detected, the needle turns black. You can actively enable the "Good Fortune Search" function once a day, and the direction indicated by the red needle will definitely have an opportunity.】

A silver-gray metal box with a simple and smooth design, with two uniquely shaped pipes extending from one side, one silver and one red, marked with abstract icons of water droplets and bubbles respectively. The other is a palm-sized golden compass, with a Taiji pattern in the center slowly rotating, and a long, colorless needle hovering above it, faintly emitting a slight light.

Automatic danger radar! Daily treasure hunting guide! Infinite water source and cola supply! Qi Yun's heart beat wildly.

Golden Legend, it lives up to its name! This directly solves the most basic and urgent survival problem of water sources, and also comes with safety guarantees and exploration tools!

Although there is no direct food for now, with a stable water source and sugar intake, the survival pressure has been greatly reduced!

"Qi Bao, what did the Golden Legend actually give?" a girl asked eagerly, her voice weak with hunger. "food... is there even a little bit of food?" another girl licked her dry, cracked lips, her eyes full of longing. "I'm so hungry..."

Qi Yun steadied himself and raised his voice to ensure everyone could hear clearly: "Although there is no direct food, we have obtained something more important!"

He pointed to the metal box on the ground. "This is called the 'Happy Water Tank', which can infinitely supply clean drinking water, and also... cola!"

"Infinite water?!" "Cola?! Is it really that cola?!" Exclamations exploded, and memories of thirst and the instinctive desire for sweetness were instantly ignited. Several girls swallowed their saliva subconsciously.

Xia Jin, who was the first to react, quickly stepped forward and tentatively pressed the button on the silver pipe. Clear, transparent, odorless pure water gushed out with a "whoosh"!

"Water! It's clean water! There really is water!" After a brief silence, there was an almost crazy cheer! The girls scrambled to crowd around, cupping the cool spring water in their hands and greedily putting it into their mouths. When the clear liquid moistened their parched throats, many people's eyes turned red.

The most basic needs were met, bringing an unparalleled sense of happiness. On the other side, Chen Xiaolin had already impatiently pressed the red button. "Sss—hiss..." Accompanied by the familiar sound of gas release, dark brown cola, bubbling with tempting bubbles, gushed out.

The familiar sweet fragrance instantly filled the air! Chen Xiaolin cupped a handful of cola and drank it down, the carbonic acid stimulating her taste buds, and the long-lost sweetness brought extreme pleasure. She couldn't help but shout happily: "Refreshing!!!"

Imagine, other survivors are still struggling for a mouthful of muddy water, while they have infinite pure water and Happy Water to drink! This gap is like a chasm!

"Qi Bao, what is that glowing compass behind you?" Chen Xiaolin had sharp eyes and asked, pointing to the still-glowing roulette wheel behind Qi Yun.

Just then, 【White Reward Issued: Supplies Gift Pack (Common)】 the mechanical female voice sounded in Qi Yun's mind again!

He looked at the front of the roulette wheel in disbelief, where a faint white light was gathering, forming a simple linen parcel. Could it be... because the pointer was stuck exactly on the dividing line between gold and white, so... both rewards were triggered?!

A BUG! This is a system BUG! Double rewards! The huge surprise instantly overwhelmed Qi Yun's calm. In his excitement, he grabbed Lin Le, who was drinking water next to him, and lifted her up by the waist. He spun around in place for a small half-circle!

"Ah!" Lin Le was caught off guard, and some of the clear water in her hand spilled out. After seeing it was Qi Yun, she blinked and said, "Qi Bao, why are you so excited? If you want to conquer me, you need to complete the prerequisite of conquering my sister first."

Qi Yun laughed and put down the grinning Lin Le: "The pointer seems to have glitched, we got both gold and white rewards at once!"

Hearing this, the smug expression that had just disappeared from Lin Le's face reappeared, and the arrogant expression on her face was even more intense. "I! Am! The European Emperor!"
