Episode 189
Draw (1)
<Judging by Confucius’ reaction, it is not a very pleasant item.>
“It’s difficult to explain.”
Although I reflexively lamented the slot machine, if you seriously ask whether it is good or bad, well? I had no choice but to answer.
Slot machines are the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word casino.
Like most people, Jeong-do also did not have a very good image of the machine.
A monster that preys on people using sweet words like ‘turning your life around’ and ‘big hit myth’ as bait.
Jeong Do’s image of slot machines was exactly that.
Of course, it was a story that had nothing to do with the slot machine in front of me right now. Because he didn’t pour any money into playing this slot machine.
Just compensation for the load.
From now on, every time I load a god-level being, I just have to play the slot machine with a light heart. Jeong-do took a step toward the slot machine and observed it.
The slot machine screen was divided into three sections, and each section had a roulette wheel spinning vertically. It was the standard type that usually comes to mind when talking about casino slot machines.
And instead of pictures and numbers, the vertical roulette was filled with Lucifer’s talents and skills, such as <Shinwi-lv.3> and <The Reversal of the Holy Demon>.
The degree nodded. It was very intuitive.
Even though I have never used something like a casino slot machine, I couldn’t have known it if I had been exposed to any media such as foreign movies or dramas.
“Can I just press this?”
Usually slot machines have a lever-like pull handle, but the machine in front of me did not have one.
Instead, there was only one round button protruding forward, right below the screen. Other than that, there were no buttons or knobs to be found.
“Whew. good. Goes.”
<It’s an interesting item. Confucius. Please proceed quickly.>
I was planning on starting even without Yoo Seon saying so. He felt his heart tremble a little. I felt like I could understand, at least a little, how people addicted to casinos feel.
Click.
When Jeong-do pressed the center button, the roulette wheel in the leftmost space among the three began to spin furiously. Seeing that the remaining two spaces were still, it seemed like they were going in order.
<Huh? Is this the end? So it doesn’t seem that much different from before?>
“thinking about it… “Is that so?”
Although it was in the form of a slot machine, if you think about it differently, there were only three roulette machines that appeared when loading the previous white level.
“Oh, wait. So how do you choose the reward?”
Having three slots in a slot machine means that roulette rolls three times in total.
Is it possible to select one of the three roulette options, similar to when loading a white-level character?
If so, it was a disappointing compensation.
Having one more choice compared to the white level was definitely better than before, but having only one more choice with the title of transcendental god was a story of exhaustion.
‘There must be a reason why it’s in the form of a slot machine.’
Usually, in slot machines, rewards are given if you match the same picture in each box or if you match a special combination.
So, does this also mean that three spaces must be composed of the same skill or talent to receive a reward? If you fail, you’re out of luck?
‘If that’s the case, Nando is so damned.’
I picked a higher grade than the white grade, but the reward is worse?
Of course, experiencing transcendence itself is a great reward! I didn’t have anything to say… Jeongdo prayed that it wouldn’t be that way.
<By the way, Confucius. When will this stop?>
“uh?”
Come to think of it, the first roulette of the slot machine was spinning continuously. It was very fast, unchanged from the first time. It never occurred to her that she would stop.
“no way.”
Jeongdo looked at the round button at the bottom of the screen. Yes. If it doesn’t stop like that, it means it has to be stopped externally. And the only button that could have played that role was the one I pressed first.
“This would be a completely different story.”
<I’m not sure about Jim… >
There was a strange heat in Jeongdo’s eyes.
Previously, there was no room for one’s involvement when selecting a black or white level and receiving a reward. At best, just load the wire and pray that the roulette stops well? It was literally luck itself.
But this wasn’t a slot machine.
You can set the timing when the roulette stops!
In other words, you can try to see what kind of compensation you will receive. Jeong Do opened her eyes wide and glared at the slot machine.
‘What should we aim for?’
First of all, level 2 talents and normal skills are excluded. If you are aiming for a level 3 talent. Otherwise, it is a unique skill that only Lucifer possesses.
Jeong-do narrowed down the candidate group to the first round.
<Divine Wisdom-lv.3>, <Pride-lv.3>, <Incitement-lv.3>, <Half Heaven, Half Demon-lv.3>
<The Reversal of the Holy Demon>, <Mind Break>, <Brainwashing>, <The Holy Demon’s Gwanghwapo>
If you choose, one of these. But even here, there was something to skip.
Among level 3 talents, <Pride> and <Incitement> are excluded. No matter how much I looked at this, it didn’t seem like it would be a plus for me.
There was no need to mention <arrogance>, and I thought that <incitement> was a subordinate compatibility with <communication>.
However, he was doubtful whether it would be useful for him, an ordinary human being, to gain the <Half Heaven, Half Demon> talent.
“decided.”
After weighing this and that, I came to a conclusion. They all had attractive skills and talents, but Jeongdo chose to be prepared for just what happened.
“Let’s go to <Xinwi>.”
<Oh. Confucius Do you want to become a god? I thought he had an easy-going personality, but I was surprised.>
“It’s not something I necessarily want to be.”
As he said to Yoo Seon, Jeong Do was not very interested in becoming a god. However, he thought that he had to get at least <Sinwi>.
The reason is none other than the ‘real universe’ itself.
In ‘The Real Universe’, he was a man of great standing who rose to the position of god through simple force. And it was assumed that he had now imbued the Earth with the primordial miracle of ‘birth’.

What if such a person appears in front of you, aiming to become the only one? It was clear that his ‘story’ would be much greater than his current self. Perhaps one’s ego will be erased.
In order to fight against him, he had no choice but to create a story strong enough not to lose.
And Jeongdo judged that a talent named <Sinwi> was the most suitable for it.
‘I don’t think I’ll become a god right away if I get <divine status>.’
Still, it’s clear that it’s essential. Jeongdo took a short breath and glared at the rapidly spinning roulette.
<… Confucius. Do you know that your eyes are scary right now? He looks more serious than when he was catching monsters.>
“I guess it’s because of my mood. This is a play. play. “It’s a fun game with no money and only rewards.”
It wasn’t persuasive at all as it came from someone whose eyes were red from staring at the spinning roulette wheel, but he thought he was maintaining his composure.
I stared at the screen without even blinking, but I couldn’t easily press the button. The reason was very simple.
<That’s so fast.>
It was like that. It was just as Yoo Seon said.
The speed of the slot machine was at a level that felt fast even with the status that had grown tremendously.
Indeed, there is no intention of giving compensation lightly.
That’s fun. I will accept that challenge.
The degree began to fall into a trance.
The feeling I felt the last time I sparred with Cheok Jun-gyeong in the wireless world.
As I maintained extreme concentration, the feeling of other objects moving slowly was recreated here again.
… It was really confusing that something that normally wouldn’t work no matter how much effort I put into it only came into play when I was gambling.
Swish.
Roulette, which was fast, started to look slower and slower, and I put my hand on the button accordingly.
And the moment when <Shinwi-lv.3> passes before my eyes.
Click.
The degree pressed the button.
‘Perfect.’
Absolutely perfect timing. I was confident that I had pressed the button perfectly without an error of a nanosecond. However, the results on the screen were not what Jeongdo had hoped for.
<Mind Break>
At the first space of the roulette wheel, it stopped there.
“why not?!”
Jeongdo put his face in front of the screen at the unbelievable results. But the reality was cold and the results did not change. Jeong-do stretched out his hand to shake the slot machine, but his hand only went through the slot machine and cut through the air.
<Confucius. Jim just took a look and found that right after I pressed the button, the roulette wheel stopped a little while later.>
“ah.”
Jeongdo remembered something he had forgotten.
inertia.
Common sense tells us that there was no way the roulette wheel would stop as soon as the button was pressed. I made a mistake because I had never played a slot machine before.
“It can’t be helped. “Change your goals.”
It’s a shame, but <Mind Break> was a good enough skill. Mental skills are very rare. Besides, isn’t that the skill of a transcendent god? It was clear that it would exert more power than expected.
‘Anyway, all divine-level characters will have <divine status>.’
Unfortunately, we decided to postpone the acquisition of <Divine Rank> until the next divine rank was selected. He caught his breath and pressed the button again.
The roulette in the second compartment started spinning.
<Hmm? It’s subtly faster.>
“Yes, I guess.”
This time it was very simple. It’s only about 5 seconds before I start to concentrate. Jeong Do pressed the button without hesitation, and this time, the roulette wheel stopped at <Mind Break>, right at the checkout.
“Whew. “Now it’s the last time.”
<Cheer up, Confucius. For some reason, just looking at this makes me feel hot.>
Is this the beauty of slot machines?
As the two spaces aligned, my heart pounding became stronger. The fact that the altitude was just one step away made endorphins rush through my body.
However, that feeling cooled down the moment I spun the third roulette wheel. Jeongdo spat out an expletive.
“Oh my gosh, crazy! “Are you kidding me?”
<What is this! Why so fast!>
The speed of the third roulette was not even comparable to the first and second. It was so fast that the black letters appeared as one line.
Can not be done.
I felt it right the moment I saw it. You can’t guess this by looking at it. I couldn’t help but think that the universe was trying to screw me over.
“Dirty bastards.”
If you don’t want to give it, you will say you don’t want to give it. Such a shameful move?
Even though I glared at the screen, there was no answer. The degree emptied my mind.
“Whoa.”
From here, it’s a battle of luck.
If you wish earnestly, the universe will respond!
Do-do trusted Yu-seon and pressed the last button with a reverential expression.
And soon the results appeared.
<Shinwi-lv.3>
“Damn bastards.”
If it wasn’t right, I should quit, but I couldn’t, so I just swore.
<Huhhh. That’s too bad. What happens if Confucius does this?>
“well? It’s my first time too… ”
And a notification window appeared as if to answer the questions of those two people.
<You can select two new level rewards from a total of three options. Please select the reward you want.>
“oh?”
What, you were choosing two out of three instead of one? Amazing, Great!
Jeong-do praised the god-level reward, forgetting that he had been swearing at the universe just a moment ago.
But the notification window isn’t over yet.
<You can spend the ability points to spin the third roulette again. Would you like to retry?>
“… … .”
<… … .>
Stop.
The movement that was about to choose two rewards stopped. And then I looked at the third compartment.
<Shinwi-lv.3>
It was as if the letters were tempting him.
What if that <Shinwi> becomes <Mind Break>? Bingo was complete. Of course there must be something special.
<Confucius? In Jim’s opinion… >
“I know everything even if I don’t say it. Yoo Seon.”
The degree naturally agreed to a retry. Abilities were reduced.
The calmness of the lottery life.
This was not a man who would choose such a weak option as compromising with mediocre results!
The third roulette began spinning once again at a speed that the eye could not follow.
“Yooseon, I’m coming!”
<Go!>
Jeong Do used Yoo Seon’s <Lucky Rental> skill. Then she closed her eyes and pressed the button.
It is said that humans always make the same mistakes and regret them over and over again.
However, as everywhere, there are exceptions.
<Mind Break>
Bingo broke out.
Just before Jeong-do and Yoo-seon cheered, a notification window appeared quickly.
<The combination is complete. Hidden skills are given as rewards.>
<You have acquired the hidden skill <Reversal> of Lucifer of Pride.>
The reward was beyond imagination. The same <reversal> skill that once saved Cheok Jun-kyung in the wireless world. He had acquired the skill that allowed him to even stop his body from collapsing.
And that wasn’t the end.
<You have succeeded in loading your first Transcendental God level character. Additional rewards will be given.>
The fate still remained.
