Rowan studied his character status with a calm expression; the amount of evolution points he had, the new titles, the territories—everything made a smile creep onto his face.
Aside from that, he also noticed many changes in his stats, especially in the Linked Characters window and the uncategorized features like Wheel, Inventory, and Quest.
Rowan planned to spend ten of the tickets he had on the wheel tonight to see if he could farm some awesome items. He didn\'t hesitate and immediately opened the wheel.
A holograph of a wheel game appeared in midair, accompanied by descriptions.

Introducing WHEEL (Version 1)
WHEEL: Utilize your wheel tickets to spin the wheel and test your luck.
You can only spin ten times in twenty-four hours.
Available tickets: 100
Available spins: 10/10
You can activate spin by thinking or saying "SPIN" when the WHEEL tab is opened.
----
Rowan read the instructions of the game and got ready to test his luck for the first time.
"Spin," he commanded in a low tone, careful not to wake his wife.
The wheel began to spin and stopped after a few seconds. Three glowing chunks of crude iron floated in the air beside the wheel.
[Congratulations, you won 3 chunks of crude iron]
When Rowan saw what he won, he couldn\'t help but cuss at his bad luck—three chunks of crude iron were just too low. If there was a market and he were to sell that amount, it would only fetch around 300 evolution points, which was very little.
"I think I have a way to twist the wheel to my advantage," Rowan smirked as he opened one of his long-forgotten skills.
[LORD OF GAMBLING (E): Probability of winning every gamble is increased by 20% (Rank: E)]
\'I haven\'t used this skill since I collected it from Brandon, and sometimes I don\'t even notice it on my character status because it\'s not so useful in terms of combat or building my territory,\' he sighed.
[Evolve (Lord of Gambling (E)) to D rank? YES/NO | Cost: 20,000 evolution points]
Rowan noticed that the cost of improving the gambling skill was less expensive than when he upgraded other skills, even though those skills were of lower rank than the gambling one. It only made him realize that the system charged more evolution points for important skills, and Lord of Gambling was definitely not among those.
"Evolve," he commanded.
DING!
[Lord of Gambling (E) ---> Lord of Gambling (D) | Probability of winning = 40%]
[Requirements for next skill evolution: 50,000]
"Evolve," he repeated.
[Lord of Gambling (D) ---> Lord of Gambling (C) | Probability of winning = 75%]
[Requirements for next skill evolution: 200,000]
\'Hmm, the price just shot up four times,\' Rowan was a little surprised but continued anyway.
[Lord of Gambling (C) ---> King of Gambling (B) | Probability of winning = 100%]
[Requirements for next skill evolution: 1,000,000]
\'Why the heck is it getting so expensive?\' Rowan yelled inwardly at the system, but there was no reply.
He could only sigh and continue evolving the skill because he needed it to obtain good results from the wheel.
[King of Gambling (B) ---> God of Gambling (A) | Probability of winning = 200%]
DING! [You have reached the evolution limit of God of Gambling]
\'200% chance of winning? Not bad, let\'s try it out,\' Rowan thought as he returned his attention to the wheel and whispered, "Spin."
The wheel began spinning and stopped.
[Congratulations, you have won 300 chunks of crude iron]
The prize this time made Rowan jump up from the bed abruptly and punch the air happily.
If Riela wasn\'t in the room right now, he would definitely be jumping around and punching the air continuously while screaming.
\'This is what I\'m talking about!\'
Without wasting time, he did the third spin and got two hundred thousand evolution points, which wasn\'t bad at all considering most of the missions he had taken so far didn\'t reward him that much. It\'s only thanks to [100x Reward] multiplying his rewards that Rowan had a large amount of evolution points.
He went on with the fourth spin.
[Congratulations, you\'ve won 10 leather coats]
In midair beside the wheel, the glowing leather coats floated.
"These will be useful in the coming rainy season," Rowan muttered.
"When D\'Andre returns, I\'ll try to get some raw leather from him and give it to Riela to make leather coats," he continued.
He had a sewing machine blueprint which he hadn\'t used yet, but he was sure the sewing machine would work on leather, which would be very useful to Riela.
Also, thanks to Riela teaching other ladies, the sewing of the robes would be even faster.
"Rainy season is approaching, and this period is prone to render some of my people ill if they don\'t have good clothes to keep them warm all the time. I need to start working on making these as soon as possible," he muttered to himself before storing the leather coats in his Inventory and continuing with the spin.
He continued spinning until he reached the limit of ten spins per day.
----
Fifth - 300,000 evolution points
Sixth - 400 chunks of crude iron
Seventh - 6 leather pants
Eighth - 20 common-grade swords
Ninth - 20 common-grade swords
Tenth - 20 common-grade swords
----
The last three spins gave the same rewards, which disheartened Rowan a little.
By the time he was done with the spins, he became sleepy and retired to bed. He hugged Riela from behind, feeling the warmth of her naked body. Riela felt his embrace and snuggled closer to feel his presence even more. Both couples enjoyed the warmth of each other as they slept.
