Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

After deliberating for a long time, Jiang Kai finally spoke.

"Thank you, General Wei, and Brother Lu for your kindness, but I don't want to reveal my profession." [T/N: That's mah nigga]

Wei Ying frowned slightly. What he didn't expect was that even after offering such tempting conditions, Jiang Kai still refused.

For civilians, joining Destiny's Calling is about changing their fate, and now that the opportunity to change fate is right in front of him, he gave it up?

The military rarely actively recruits civilian forces. On the rare occasion they do, they get rejected…

Lu Jun said anxiously, "Jiang Kai, you need to think carefully. To be blunt, unless you join the military, the Huang family won't let this go easily."

Jiang Kai was about to speak, but Wei Ying raised his hand and said with a smile, "Jiang Kai, don't rush to decide. I can give you a month to reconsider."

"I can guarantee that if you meet the military's requirements, you won't lack any benefits. I think you also want to get your brother treated quickly or even transfer your sister to a better school."

General Wei actually knew about his elder brother and younger sister. The conditions he offered once again made Jiang Kai hesitate.

After briefly considering, Jiang Kai spoke again.

"I don't want to join the military."

———

After leaving Jiang Kai's house, Lu Jun quickly caught up with Wei Ying.

"Chief, we've already laid everything out, and he still refused. What's he thinking?"

"Even if his profession is also a Martial Disciple, he can't be this arrogant."

Wei Ying smiled faintly and turned to look at the man in black beside him. "Xiao Hei, what do you think?"

The man in black next to him said lightly, "I don't know, not familiar with him."

Wei Ying couldn't help but laugh. "That's true. That kid's family is poor. Thirteen years ago, he followed his elder brother to Jiangzhong City. Over the years, who knows how much hardship he has endured? He wouldn't trust others easily."

"Such a person is prone to thinking that relying on oneself is better than relying on others."

"But he doesn't realize that the strength of one person is limited. To overturn the situation, it's impossible to rely on one person alone." Wei Ying's gaze drifted into the distance. The arc in the sky was difficult to find in broad daylight. [T/N: It's not entirely true. In front of overwhelming strength, quantity means nothing]

Wei Ying sighed softly, "The people care more about their own fate, and this is understandable. But they don't realize that against the chaotic situation brought by the Ghost Star & Beast God, it's not something one person can solve."

After General Wei and the others left, Jiang Kai sat alone in his messy house but didn't move to clean up for a long time.

Too much had happened on this day. Passing the novice trial, taking down Huang Wei, Huang Da seeking revenge, and the military's top figure personally visiting to extend an olive branch…

A series of upheavals left Jiang Kai in a daze for a moment.

After sitting blankly for a long time, Jiang Kai finally came to his senses, stood up, and endured the pain to tidy up the room.

But the wooden door, which had a big hole kicked into it, would need proper repairs.

After two hours of busy work, Jiang Ying still hadn't come home.

Jiang Kai wanted to see his sister but was also afraid she'd see him injured. After thinking for a bit, he left a note telling his brother and sister he had passed the novice trial and to be wary of the Huang family before leaving the house.

Passing by Yuan Zhu's house, Jiang Kai noticed no one was home.

The mysterious person who gave him Martial Disciple materials wasn't there, and Zhuzi hadn't returned home either, so Jiang Kai had no choice but to head to the login gate alone.

After today's events, the Huang family would likely stay quiet for a while, but not for long. He needed to act fast and earn the money to treat his brother.

When Jiang Kai arrived at Hall 18 of the login gate, a massive figure rushed toward him from afar.

"Kai, come with me." Yuan Zhu came up to Jiang Kai, grabbed him, and started pulling him out of the hall.

While being dragged, Jiang Kai noticed a data wristwatch on Yuan Zhu's wrist.

"When did this guy get a data wristwatch?"

The two stopped in a secluded area.

"Zhuzi, what did they want with you?" Jiang Kai asked first.

"They asked about how we passed the trial, my profession, talent, and skills… and also about you. But I didn't say anything. I skipped over your battle process and only said you were a non-combat profession," Yuan Zhu explained.

"And then?"

"They didn't press me about you further. They just said someone was already looking for you. But they invited me to join the military." Yuan Zhu said.

"You agreed?"

"Is that even a question? Of course, I agreed." Yuan Zhu's eyes widened as if he'd heard an absurd question. "I even recommended you to them. I told them you're our captain and that we passed the trial mainly because of you."

"They didn't approach you?" Yuan Zhu asked anxiously.

Jiang Kai smiled and shook his head. They had indeed approached him, even saving his life.

"They did, but I didn't want to join," Jiang Kai said.

"What? Why?" Yuan Zhu looked at Jiang Kai in disbelief.

Jiang Kai shook his head helplessly. "If my profession were Martial Disciple, I would join, but I'm a Gambler."

"The new profession would be valued even more," Yuan Zhu said puzzled.

"Maybe at the beginning, but once they can't find any follow-up progression in my profession, they'll realize that my profession has no future development and eventually abandon me," Jiang Kai shook his head. "When the Drunkard profession first appeared, it also attracted official attention, but later, when it was proven to have no future, look at the current state of the Drunkard profession."

"Even if they show more sincerity now, in the end, they can't change the final outcome. This is not something that one or two people can decide."

"Moreover, once I join the military, my actions will have to follow their requirements, and all my income will need to be reported to superiors. I don't want others to decide my fate." [T/N: Finally, not a dumb author]

Yuan Zhu frowned tightly. After listening to Jiang Kai's explanation, he finally understood why Jiang Kai refused the military's invitation.

The military won't waste resources on nurturing a professional without a future.

Jiang Kai doesn't want the officials to decide the future of the Gambler profession.

"But... you know the power of the Black Tortoise Guild. Aside from the military, who in the 18th District dares to provoke them? By then, I'm afraid no organization would dare to accept you, and no one would even team up with you."

Jiang Kai shook his head. This situation, he had already anticipated. Originally, he had thought of teaming up with Yuan Zhu, but he didn't expect that Zhuzi had already joined the military.

"If I can't team up, so be it. By the way, since you're now part of the military, then you..."

"They assigned me to a three-person team. Counting me, that's four people, and they're all very strong. I even proposed a request: if you join the military, you must be grouped with me, making it five people. They agreed at first, but I didn't expect you... you didn't come." Yuan Zhu said, lowering his head, his mood visibly downcast.

Jiang Kai knew that this guy hadn't expected him to refuse the military's invitation either. After all, this was a rare opportunity—who wouldn't want to seize it?

Seeing his brother upset, Jiang Kai smiled slightly and punched Yuan Zhu lightly on the back. "Isn't that great? Someone will lead you, so you won't fall too far behind in levels compared to me."

"Zhuzi, no matter which organization we're in, we're still good brothers."

"Kai... how about I tell them I don't want to join the military anymore?"

"Idiot, you're different from me. Joining the military is definitely the best choice for you. Don't act foolishly."

"Then what about you? Do you expect me to watch you fend for yourself alone?"

"Who said I'd be fending for myself? Do you think all organizations are afraid of the Black Tortoise Guild? Maybe I can find a big guild." Jiang Kai laughed. "As for you, even though you're in the military, there will still be times we can team up. Remember, don't act timid in front of others; it'll only make them bully you more."

Yuan Zhu's eyes turned red. For so many years, it had always been Jiang Kai taking care of him.

"Alright, I'm off. I'm not part of the military, so I don't have to follow your strict rules. I'll come and go as I please." With that, Jiang Kai turned and walked back into the login gate hall.

As he left, Jiang Kai's eyes felt slightly dry, so he quickened his pace.

Arriving at the teleportation gate, Jiang Kai found Su Lanlan to prove that he was a newcomer and could log in without queuing.

Su Lanlan glanced at Jiang Kai and snorted softly, "Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed in you. I didn't expect you to refuse such a tempting offer. I can't understand what you're thinking."

Jiang Kai thought for a moment and understood. This woman must also know what happened earlier.

"So, our lone hero, are you ready to face the Ghost Star alone?" Su Lanlan's tone carried a trace of acidity as she looked at Jiang Kai with a half-smile.

"I bet that unless you hide in a safe zone forever, the moment you step out of it, we'll meet again."

Su Lanlan's implication was clear: she believed Jiang Kai would soon die and log out.

Jiang Kai sneered, "Oh? How about we place a bet?"

"Oh? What do you want to bet on?"

"I bet that not only will I leave the safe zone, but I'll also earn 800,000 Union Coins within a month."

Su Lanlan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Previously, she only regarded Jiang Kai as a promising rookie. But now, she felt a sense of equal pressure emanating from him.

"You must be dreaming!" Su Lanlan said disdainfully.

Jiang Kai snorted coldly, "Some people don't even dare to dream. The bet... will be your apology." With that, Jiang Kai stepped into the login gate decisively.
