I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"Huff..." Hua Zitong gasped for breath.

Having just been surrounded and chased for a few seconds, she was on high alert. Only now, as she relaxed, did she feel a lingering fear.

"Let's reset the luck stat."

"This stone slab is the key to this dungeon." Hua Zitong looked at the stone slab under her feet and said with lingering fear, "Without it, once your luck value drops, you can never get it back and you can only wait to die."

"Yes, it's a good strategic point." Li Wu nodded.

"Don't rush off," Li Wu said. "Clear the rest of the Destiny Bubbles."

"Cleared?" Hua Zitong was stunned. "Are you crazy? That thing was a life-or-death gamble!"

"Now we have the 'Balance Slab' as our trump card." Li Wu's eyes shone brightly. "Our luck stat can be reset back to 50 points at any time. This means we have the capital to try and fail."

He pointed to the colorful bubbles: "These things, while risky, also offer opportunities. You saw the 'Great Fortune' effect before. What if we get another 'Great Fortune'?"

"Besides, even if we get a 'minor punishment,' we can handle it in our current state as long as it's not too outrageous. At worst, we can just come back and step on the stone slab."

Hua Zitong fell silent.

She had to admit that Li Wu made a lot of sense, and she wondered why she hadn't thought of that!

"Okay... let's give it a try." Hua Zitong gritted her teeth and decided to trust Li Wu's judgment.

"I'll do it," Li Wu said, not letting her do it.

He walked up to the nearest purple bubble and reached out to touch it.

boom!

The bubble burst.

[System notification: You have touched the "Destiny Bubble," consuming 5 points of Luck!]

[Fate being drawn...]

[Result: Draw!]

You received a slightly moldy black bread.

Li Wu: "..."

Hua Zitong: "..."

Li Wu picked up the black bread, which was as hard as a rock, from the ground and threw it into his backpack without expression.

"...Again."

He walked toward the second bubble.

boom!

[Result: A minor stroke of luck!]

Your mana has been fully restored!

Li Wu was speechless. His mana would be fully restored in less than two minutes!

boom!

The third bubble.

[Result: Slightly unlucky!]

[A banana peel suddenly appeared at your feet, causing you to slip and take 1 point of forced damage.]

Li Wu felt his foot slip and fell hard on his butt, with a "-1" damage number appearing above his head.

He stood up silently and dusted off his bottom.

Hua Zitong watched from the side, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and could only desperately hold it in, her shoulders shaking.

"Continue." Li Wu's face darkened slightly.

He refused to believe that these pieces of junk could keep appearing.

boom! boom! boom!

Li Wu seemed to be locked in a battle with these bubbles, and in one go, he popped all five or six remaining bubbles in the corridor.

The results were all sorts of strange things.

[Ping: You got a sock with a hole in it.]

[Xiao Ji: Your next attack will deal 20% more damage.]

[Minor Misfortune: A bat fell from the sky and pooped on your head. Your charm value decreased by 1 for 10 minutes.]

……

When the last bubble burst and said, "You have obtained a half-empty bottle of inferior rum," Li Wu gave up completely.

He glanced at his lucky scales; due to repeatedly touching the bubbles, his luck value had dropped to 10 points.

With a dark expression, he walked back to the balance slab and reset his luck to 50.

"It seems these bubbles won't yield anything good," Li Wu concluded.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Hua Zitong finally couldn't hold back anymore, laughing uncontrollably. "You... you have that on your head... Hahahaha!"

Li Wu reached up and touched the top of his head, and sure enough, he felt a sticky blob.

His face darkened further.

"Alright, you've laughed enough, now go." He said irritably.

"No...no...let me laugh a little longer..."

After playing around for a while, the two actually grew closer.

After resting, they continued their journey.

At the end of the corridor was a huge stone gate. On the gate, a huge wheel was also carved, along with a strange humanoid creature wearing a tall hat and holding a scepter.

"Behind the door lies the boss of this area, the Lord of the Roulette, Ferrand." Hua Zitong's expression turned serious. "This guy's mechanics are very unique; it's not simply a test of output and defense."

She quickly explained Ferrand's skills to Li Wu.

"【Lucky Draw】forces us into a lottery. This is all about luck; what you get is entirely up to chance."

"【Roulette Lock】This tests your reaction and movement skills. It activates a giant roulette wheel in the room. Whichever color the pointer lands on, you must immediately stand on the floor of the corresponding color. If you stand on the wrong floor, you will be penalized or miss out on a buff."

Li Wu nodded and memorized this information.

The mechanism sounds simple, with nothing particularly special about it.

"Are you ready?"

"Um."

The two exchanged a glance and together pushed open the heavy stone door.

Beyond the stone gate lay a circular hall even grander than the previous corridor. The entire floor of the hall was a complete, enormous roulette wheel.

In the center of the hall, a monster over three meters tall, whose body seemed to be pieced together from a rusty roulette wheel and countless gambling tools, and who wore a tattered tall hat, stood silently.

It has no facial features; its face is only occupied by a constantly spinning die that emits an eerie red light.

【Lord of the Roulette - Fland (Elite Leader)】

[Level: LV5]

【HP: 3000】

Attack Power: 65

"Welcome to my casino, you two reckless gamblers."

Ferrand spoke, its voice like countless dice colliding in a cup, hoarse and grating.

"The rules here are simple." Its scepter pointed to the roulette wheel on the ground. "Win, or die!"

As soon as it finished speaking, its huge body trembled violently, and the scepter in its hand pointed in the direction of Hua Zitong!

[Lucky Draw]!

A beam of black light instantly entered Hua Zitong's body.

Immediately afterwards, a huge "destiny bubble" exuding an ominous aura appeared out of thin air in front of Hua Zitong.

[System notification: You have been targeted by "Lucky Draw". Please touch the "Fruit of Destiny" in front of you within 10 seconds, or you will die instantly!]

"Damn it! They picked me right at the start!"

Hua Zitong cursed under her breath, and without the slightest hesitation, she reached out and pressed her hand on the bubble.

All she can do now is pray that her luck, now reset to 50 points, will allow her to draw a less terrible result.

The bubble bursts.
