Everyone's eyes turned wider. Even the bald salesman was astonished.

"Haha, Didn't I tell you? Hey Flame girl, what are you saying again?" Anton, who was doubting his luck, laughed in exhilaration.

"You probably used up all your luck with that draw," Michelle snorted.

"What did you say? I can't hear you. Well, whatever, let me get my new boot first," Anton did not put the redhead's word into the ears, went to collect his prize. But the moment he saw his rewards, his eyes bulge in anger. There is only one boot on the vent, there is no sign of the other of its pair. "WHAT THE HELL! Where is my other freaking boot?"

"Phuaah," Michelle burst into a hysterical laugh. "And here I was thinking you made it big. Guess eight points in Luck worth only that much."

Anton collected the boot from the vent, and his anger was raised to another level, hearing the mock from Michelle. "Why don't you try then, Flame girl? If you are so confident in your luck," Anton almost pushed the redhead to the huge equipment. "Draw, I'll pay for it. Let's see if you're only good at big words, or your luck amounts to something."

"I don't mind trying out my luck, but the stuff I get from there will be mine. I'll be keeping it." Michelle said. She was already in front of the Wheel.

"Whatever, draw quickly," Anton Said, paying the cost. "Let me see wht those sixty numbers in luck bring you."

"Well, then." Michelle smiled. "Here I go."

The wheel spun again as Michelle infused it with her mana. After half a dozen seconds, the wheel stopped as an image of a talisman appeared on the screen.

[Congratulations. You have won an Escape Talisman]

[Escape Talisman: On tearing the talisman, it would teleport you to an unknown location in between 6 to 12 kilometres.

Warning: One user per Talisman only.]

"See, my luck isn't bad at all," Michelle, who was quite happy with the result, said, eyeing Anton, whose face was already ugly at seeing the prize.

"You got a rather useful thing, my lady," Ryat said from the sideline. "Only with this, all your wasting points are worth it. It would cost you about 200 omega points or 10 million omega credits to buy this thing with no discount."

"Really, " a sparkle flashed in Michelle's eyes. She said, "And I only got it for 10 points."

"No need to boast further. We get it. You have great luck," Anton said in a pressed tone.

"Still, that single boot is worth at least ten times the talisman," Ryat said, looking at the two of them. He continued looking at Anton. "Artifacts like that will cost around five thousand points or further, but you have only one, so the price goes poorer."

"That means this thing is worth two thousand points, and by the ratio about one hundred million credits. I'm rich," Anton, who was pissed the whole time, laughed again. He eyed the redhead again. "What are you saying again?"

Michelle snorted. "At Least I have something that I can use," she said. "And don't call me Flame girl, if not I'll call you. . ." Michelle gritted her teeth, as she could not find a good nickname to taunt. "Byul, help me here."

"That's far you go," Anton laughed. "Can't even come up with a nickname."

Michelle's cheeks turned red at the taunts. She was considering blasting this inconsiderate, bigmouthed, deviant idiot with a flame ball.

"Ton, will you leave the poor girl alone," Wrik finally stopped the carnage between the two. "Let's get back to the game, shall we?"

Michelle calmed her mind and went for another draw. "Pay me for another draw."

"Did I open some charity or something?" Anton eyed the redhead.

"But you tried twice, even with your crappy luck," Michelle complained. "Everyone gets a second chance."

"I'm only doing this cause I'm rich now, flame girl," Anton made the payment for the draw. "You better be grateful."

Michelle snorted. She spun the wheel again, infusing mana into it. This time she poured in a lot compared to before.

"I don't know, but I seem to hear someone saying pouring in more maha mana won't help if you have crappy luck," Anton said with an eccentric expression. "Who might that person be?"

Michelle's check reddened, hearing that, but she did not stop. The wheel turned at a great pace.

"Girl, don't push further, it would only take more time for the wheel to stop," Ryat added.

Micelle stopped, but the wheel did not. It spun for a good minute before another image of another talisman came on the screen.

[Congratulations. You have won Five-person Escape Talisman]

[Item: Five-person Escape Talisman.

Like any other Escape talisman, five people can use it simultaneously, and they would be teleported to the same place. The range is between 6 to 12 kilometres.]

"Flame Girl, are you in danger or something? Why would you only get the Escape talisman?" Anton taunted.

Michelle pouted. "The escape talisman can save one's life in a dire state. Can your boot do that? It can't, so shut your mouth."

Anton snorted. "You get your two chances now back down," he said. "Whoever wants to go next, I'll pay for it."

Michelle snorted back in return, she collected her prize before moving next to Byul. "Byul, you go next." She said, pushing the short girl.

A byul was hesitant at first, but seeing the nod from Anton and the others, she did not hesitate anymore. She went to the equipment and drew her first attempt.

[Congratulations. You have won a hat.]

"My luck is never good," Byul sighed, seeing her poor prize. It was a hat, moreover, it's a hat only a male could use.

"Try again, like Michelle said, everyone gets a second chance," Wrik said from behind.

Byul nodded and tried again. She did not infuse more maha mana into the wheel. Probably she knew her luck, or partly because of her poor health.

This time, the image that came on the screen brightened everyone's mood. It was an image of a potion.

[Congratulations. You have won an Advance Recovery Potion.]

[Item: Advance Recovery Potion.

The level of its recovery is only below the transcendent recovery potion. Apart from dying patients, it can heal almost any physical injury within few hours. Not only that, it heals many hidden injuries as well.]
