Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

Jiang Kai wasn't entirely sure why he agreed to team up with a fortune-teller. Maybe it was because Hu Yan did display some divination ability. Maybe it was because after ten days of solo hunting, Jiang Kai often felt lonely. Or maybe it was because he himself was also a non-combat class.

What would the ultimate profession of a non-combat class look like?

"Don't go hunting?" Jiang Kai was full of doubts. He didn't fully believe it, but since he decided to give Hu Yan a chance, he might as well trust his prediction.

"Forget it, I'll arrange my big brother's treatment first after going offline. Next time I log in, I can directly transfer the money I earn to him."

In Destiny Calling, star coins were the default currency, but the exchange rate between star coins and alliance coins was fixed. Alliance coins could also be used for transactions.

For individuals, aside from other factions, even the military provided alliance coin exchange services.

Thinking of this, Jiang Kai gave up his plan for more hunting and left the safe zone, returning to the main city of Area 18.

Once back in the main city, Jiang Kai headed to the trading area and found a shop that offered corpse card dissection services, handing over all 19 elite black ape corpses for dissection.

———

The elite black ape corpses all had burn marks, making the hides unsellable. Still, Jiang Kai hoped to extract some nuclear soil or blood crystal essence.

He watched as the staff dissected the corpses, slicing open the chest cavities and using specialized tools to detect and collect materials.

"Sir, aside from the beast bones, we've collected a total of 24 grams of nuclear soil and 6 grams of blood crystal essence. As for the beast bones and meat, we can buy them at 90 star coins per unit. We don't buy nuclear soil here since it's limited to 10 grams per logout. All major guilds already stockpile plenty of it. If you're willing to sell the blood crystal essence, we can offer 490 star coins per gram."

The market price of blood crystal essence hovered around 500 star coins per gram. A 10-star coin markup wasn't unreasonable.

After all, Area 18 had protective measures for newcomers. Shops operating here were mostly legitimate and had to adhere to newcomer protection regulations.

"Only six grams from nineteen elites..." Jiang Kai shook his head lightly. It was said that the drop rate of blood crystal essence from elites was very low, and it seemed true.

"Alright, sell all the beast bones and meat. I'll keep the rest. Please compress 10 grams of nuclear soil for withdrawal."

"Understood." The staff member said no more, instructing a colleague to package the nuclear soil and blood crystal essence.

The nuclear soil was divided into two portions: one compressed into a grayish-brown square weighing precisely 10 grams, resembling a sugar cube.

The remaining nuclear soil and blood crystal essence were placed in two small glass vials, which Jiang Kai carefully stored in his card pouch.

After paying a dissection fee of 20 star coins per corpse, Jiang Kai received 1,330 star coins.

"Finally processed all the spoils," Jiang Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

Leaving the trading area, Jiang Kai headed straight for the teleportation zone.

The massive teleportation plaza was sparsely populated, most just passing through. Only a handful were actually queueing to log out.

Compared to the bustling login gates, this was a stark contrast.

Ahead, about seven or eight people were in line to log out. Jiang Kai patiently waited.

Since logging out required a wait of 10–20 days to log back in, most players avoided logging out unless absolutely necessary.

Soon, it was Jiang Kai's turn. He stepped into the teleportation array, and a flash of white light engulfed him. A slight dizziness followed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was in the logout hall of Gate 18 in Jiangzhong City.

Looking ahead, he saw a long line of people waiting to log in—at least 400–500 of them.

A soldier helped Jiang Kai down from the array while another shouted to the next in line, "Don't rush. Someone just logged out. Wait 30 seconds before logging in."

Having grown accustomed to logging in and out, Jiang Kai nodded to the soldier and was about to head to his locker to change when the soldier stopped him.

"You logged out with nuclear soil, didn't you? You can sell it directly to us. Nuclear soil is urgently needed by the state and cannot be privately traded."

Jiang Kai remembered and replied, "Yes, I brought some. What's the price?"

"10 grams for 50,000 alliance coins," the soldier said. "It's a fixed price, no fluctuations. By the way, what's your class?"

Jiang Kai froze for a moment but quickly responded, "I'm not a smuggler."

"Alright then, get dressed, and I'll take you to sell the nuclear soil."

"I also want to exchange some star coins for alliance coins," Jiang Kai added.

"No problem. That's also at the trading post."

After changing, Jiang Kai followed the soldier to the military trading post.

He handed over the 10-gram cube of nuclear soil and received 50,000 alliance coins in return.

In addition, Jiang Kai exchanged 180,000 star coins, amounting to 1.8 million alliance coins.

Before leaving the military district, Jiang Kai looked around for someone but couldn't find her. Strangely, when he didn't want to see her, she'd always show up, but now she was nowhere to be found.

"Forget it. Going home is more important," Jiang Kai muttered, dialing his brother's number.

"Big bro, it's me, Jiang Kai."

On the other end, a familiar voice answered.

"You finally logged out? Why didn't you wait for me and Yingzi last time? You didn't even spare a moment to meet us." Jiang Lan's voice was a mix of excitement and annoyance.

Jiang Kai chuckled sheepishly, "Haha, not the point. Listen, after work today, don't take any extra jobs. Also, tell Yingzi to stay home after school. I have something important to tell you both."

"All mysterious now... Fine. I guess we should celebrate. I still can't believe you passed the newcomer trial. I'll take a rare break today." Jiang Lan coughed lightly. "Come home soon."

"Big bro, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong with what?"

"You were coughing a lot just now."

"Oh, that. Probably caught a chill last night. Stop making a fuss. Anyway, just hurry home *cough* *cough*. By the way, Yingzi said she misses you after not seeing you for a few days..."

Jiang Kai knew that even if Yingzi missed him, she would never say it out loud. The one who really missed him was most likely his big brother.

His brother's condition was worsening. In his heart, his brother was probably worried he might never get to see Jiang Kai again.

"Okay, I'm coming back right now." Jiang Kai said, hanging up the phone. He then jogged all the way to the shared bike station and unlocked a bike.

———

In the military district's management office, Su Lanlan stood anxiously beside Wei Ying, staring at the phone on his desk.

Ring ring ring, the phone began to ring in sync with her anticipation.

Wei Ying glanced at Su Lanlan with a half-smile before picking up the call. "Hello, how much did that kid exchange? ...How much?" Wei Ying's expression instantly changed.

"Exchanged 1.8 million alliance coins and sold nuclear soil for 50,000, totaling 1.85 million?"

Su Lanlan, overhearing every word, was completely dumbfounded.

After a long pause, she muttered to herself, "What kind of joke is this? Ten days, 1.8 million? Did he bring a money-printing machine?"

"This is bad!"

Wei Ying hung up the phone, sitting in deep thought for a long time.

"Surrounded on all sides, and yet he still managed to earn 1.85 million in ten days. No, no, there's definitely a secret on Jiang Kai."

Suddenly, Wei Ying jumped to his feet, startling Su Lanlan, who was already lost in her thoughts.

"Lanlan, a bet's a bet. Let's go. We're going to Jiang Kai's house to apologize in person." Wei Ying said with an unyielding tone.

"Ah..." Su Lanlan groaned, holding her forehead in frustration, utterly reluctant.
