Chapter 196: Keep Spinning, Keep Winning
"There isn't a single useless card in the Ninja Card Slot Machine!" the system declared confidently. "Every card has its value—the key lies in how you use it!"
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan's blood boiled with excitement, and he immediately decided to spin again…
"Ding-ling-ling…"
Another 10,000 points disappeared, and three more white cards appeared in Li Jiexuan's system space: White Cat (Adult Speed), Black Cat (Young Cuteness), Ino (Child)…
The adult white cat provided a bit of speed, though unfortunately the cuteness bonus was gone.
"Again!"
The near-miss with Senju Hashirama earlier made it impossible for Li Jiexuan to give up. He had been so close—just a little more, and he would've gotten it!
White Cat (Elderly), Black Cat (Adult Misfortune), Konohamaru (Child)…
"Again!"
As the saying goes, winning a draw feels great—and drawing nonstop feels even better. Li Jiexuan refused to believe that with his 200,000-point fortune, he couldn't get a decent ninja.
As long as he got an A-rank ninja, it wouldn't be a loss!
Ten minutes later…
"Huff… huff…" Li Jiexuan panted heavily, yanking the slot machine lever with all his strength. "Come on!!!"
However…
Something strange happened. The lever didn't move at all. No matter how hard Li Jiexuan pulled, there was no response.
"System, what's going on? Is the machine broken?" Li Jiexuan's eyes were red—his Six Paths Madara card was still waiting for him!!!
"The slot machine is functioning normally. If it cannot be activated, please check your account balance," the system replied calmly. Implicit meaning: you're broke…
"Account balance?" Li Jiexuan curled his lip subconsciously. He had saved up 200,000 points—how could that be…
"It's really gone?"
Character: Li Jiexuan.
Points Balance: 302.
Only then did Li Jiexuan snap back to reality. Each pull cost 10,000 points—his 200,000 fortune only allowed for twenty spins. In reality, that barely lasted five minutes.
Thinking of this, Li Jiexuan felt a dull ache: money always feels insufficient when you actually need it…
The 200,000 points were already spent—there was no way the system would refund him. He might as well check what he had gotten. Out of sixty character cards, aside from various ordinary animals and civilians, there were only five Genin and just one Chunin.
"Nara Shikamaru (Youth)"
The only Chunin card turned out to be a young Shikamaru. Strictly speaking, his strength wasn't much higher than the other rookie Genin…
However, Shikamaru's attributes gave Li Jiexuan a bit of comfort.
Nara Shikamaru: +1 Calmness, +1 Speed. Grants special ability: Shadow Possession Jutsu, binding strength depends on the user's own power.
After equipping Shikamaru's card, Li Jiexuan quickly felt a cool sensation enter his mind, calming him down.
But once he calmed down, he suddenly realized…
He had been played!
Under the system's temptation, he had impulsively spent all 200,000 points on the slot machine. Now, he didn't even have enough points left to buy a few Ice Release bloodline enhancements to strengthen himself…
There's no such thing as an honest merchant—even the system's slot machine required caution!
The drop rates were just too low…
With only 302 points left, Li Jiexuan felt extremely insecure. He needed to earn more points as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he decisively took out the silver training scroll. "Spending feels great—but now it's time to pay the price!"
Unrolling the scroll, Li Jiexuan carefully searched through it. When he saw the storyline of Naruto's birth and the Nine-Tails' rampage, he instinctively wanted to select it. The Asura bloodline required for the Six Paths Sage Body could only be obtained during that segment. Based on his previous experience, he shouldn't fail!
But after hesitating for a moment, Li Jiexuan still chose a different storyline…
