Lucky Wheel: Can use points to exchange, current free draw count is 1.
After Ye Yuan exchanged the two "black stones" for points, the system introduced a new function.
In the space, a projection similar to a prize wheel appeared in the center. The items displayed were dazzling.
Space Jumper, individual flying vehicle, Water Control Technique, Spirit Opening Pill, Constitution Enhancement Pill, feed production line, brewing technology...
Seeing these, Ye Yuan was a bit stunned. Wasn't it supposed to be a tech planet? What are these pills and techniques?
Of course, no one could answer these questions.
There was an "Activate" button above the wheel.
Without hesitation, Ye Yuan activated the lucky wheel. What he really wanted was the Space Jumper. Just by the name, it sounded like a high-end thing.
The pointer spun rapidly, slowly approaching the Space Jumper.
"Jumper, jumper."
Ye Yuan muttered softly.
Slowly, the pointer passed the Jumper and stopped on the Spirit Opening Pill.
"Continue?"
"Another spin will deduct 10,000 points from the host."
"Yes."
Ye Yuan looked at his 78,000 points and continued.
The pointer spun again, and he finally got a Constitution Enhancement Pill.
"Continue?"
"Another spin will deduct 10,000 points from the host."
"No."
Ye Yuan decisively stopped the draw. It seemed he wasn't that lucky. Points had many uses and couldn't be wasted here.
He took the Constitution Enhancement Pill directly.
Feeling his strength increase as the pill went down, he checked his status.

Lucky Wheel: Draw count, can use points to exchange.
Strength +3, Speed and Stamina each +1.
Ye Yuan didn't continue to exchange stones for points because he had already figured out the true use of these stones.
Last night, he discovered that when practicing the Water Control Technique, holding this stone in his hand significantly increased his practice speed.
Since he knew the use of this thing, he couldn't exchange all of it for points.
...
Su Mei's days had finally improved a bit, even though Zhang Gui still hadn't supplied any seafood.
The day after Ye Yuan returned, the procurement department brought a truckload of fish from Ye Yuan, temporarily solving the hotel's problem of having no seafood to sell.
Today, she planned to leave work early to spend time with her precious daughter.
Many people in the hotel didn't know that their CEO, Su Mei, already had a 4-year-old daughter.
Su Mei started dating a senior from her university when she was in her second year of college.
At the time, they were known as the golden couple of the school.
After graduation, the senior chose to study abroad, and everyone thought they would break up.
But Su Mei, ignoring her family's objections, chose to follow her senior abroad.
They studied and worked part-time abroad, spending the most beautiful three years of their lives together, and eventually moved in together.
Just as they were preparing to get married after returning to China, the senior died in a car accident, which was a huge blow to Su Mei. Misfortunes never come singly.
Before she could recover from the loss of her love, Su Mei discovered she was pregnant.
Many friends advised her to give up the child.
But Su Mei was determined to have the baby, even though many relatives and friends disagreed. Her mother supported her at this time.
After giving birth, Su Mei stayed by her daughter's side because the child was still young.
But when her daughter turned four, her mother's health deteriorated, and she could no longer manage the hotel. Su Mei had to take over.
These days, Su Mei had been so busy that she felt she owed her daughter.
Today, she could go home early to spend time with her.
As Su Mei was tidying up her files to go home, her phone suddenly rang. The nanny's anxious and tearful voice came through:
"Miss Su, something terrible has happened, Nianxin has been kidnapped."
Su Mei's mind went blank.
She barely managed to keep herself from falling, and urgently asked:
"What happened? What exactly happened?"
At this moment, she still held a glimmer of hope that there might be some misunderstanding.
"Just now, when I came to pick up Nianxin, I had already picked her up, but a van stopped beside us. Three people got out, pushed me down, and took Nianxin. I'm in the ambulance now, and the kindergarten has already called the police."
At this point, someone else took the phone.
"Hello, are you the family member of this lady? We are from XX Hospital. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible to handle the procedures. She has severe external injuries and multiple fractures."
After saying this, the call was hung up.
Hearing this, Su Mei's legs couldn't support her body, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Her eyes blankly stared out the window, and two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks.
Hearing the noise from inside, the secretary rushed in and was shocked to see Su Mei sitting on the floor, crying silently.
She quickly ran over, helped Su Mei to the sofa, and, seeing the secretary, Su Mei remembered the doctor's words and immediately instructed the secretary to go to the hospital to handle the nanny's situation.
After the secretary left, Su Mei forced herself to calm down.
She took out her phone and dialed a number she hadn't contacted for a long time.
The other side took a long time to answer, and when it finally did:
"Hello, what is it? I'm very busy."
Hearing the other side's tone, Su Mei shouted in a nearly hysterical voice:
"You're always busy. You didn't care when Mom got sick, you didn't care when my husband died, and now Nianxin has been kidnapped. Are you still not going to care?"
After saying this, she threw the phone, curled up on the sofa, buried her head in her knees, and hugged her legs, sobbing uncontrollably.
The person Su Mei called was her father, Su Weiguo, who taught marine biology.
Her father had always devoted himself to his research and rarely paid attention to family matters.
Even when Su Mei had such a big issue, he only came home to take a look, stayed for less than a day, and then rushed back to his lab.
Now that her mother was in poor health, Su Mei didn't dare tell her about this.
But as a weak woman facing such a situation, she needed someone to confide in, so she called her father.
Unexpectedly, the other side's tone pushed Su Mei, who was already on the brink of collapse, over the edge.
