Chapter 114: Chapter 75: Another Top-Tier Talent
At that moment, Su Huai couldn’t be bothered to shoot the shit with the group of big brothers and underlings anymore.
He tossed his phone aside, got out of bed, took a cigarette to the balcony, and leaned on the window to gaze at the night sky.
60 favorability points reward, anything will do.
But the 70-point Lucky Wheel, that’s got to have some ceremony to it.
Pei Shuyu, oh Pei Shuyu, if you want to be my Little Cotton-padded Jacket, you’d better buck up for daddy now!
Here we go, let the drawing begin!
Gou Huai stared intently at the wheel, spinning the needle with his mind.
White! White! White!
He didn’t give a damn about the gold prize but kept muttering about landing on the White Zone.
In the gaming realm, there is a professional term called “padding the knife,” which means opening a few of the worst options first, to exhaust the bad probabilities, and then going for the good stuff.
It’s the same principle now.
He hoped to get a white prize with the 60-point Favorability Lucky Wheel, and then hit the jackpot with the 70-point premium spin.
Without getting into whether this makes sense, Su Huai was indeed unusually nervous.
The needle slowed to a halt.
It skimmed past the gold prize area, brushed over the White Zone, and finally stopped in the blue area.
Ding!
[Congratulations to the host for drawing Pei Shuyu’s special attribute, Strength +6]
What?!
Gou Huai was instantly befuddled. Isn’t this tidbit freaking huge?
I… I’m not really into this kind of reward…
Gou Huai stared blankly for a while, then sheepishly looked down at his boxer briefs.
Uh, I need to switch to a batch of ice silk ones, they have better elasticity, not so tight.
Zhang Shaohan’s song is really well-sung: You are A’Diao, you are a free bird~~~
Su Huai opened the panel and glanced over it, his health and strength jumped to the highest attributes, of a rare level.
[Comprehensive Physique: 80 points]
[Comprehensive Intelligence and EQ: 80 points]
[Appearance 64 (17), Physique 66 (10), Health 85, Strength 85]
[Overall Rating: …, a rare berserk damage-dealer]
While pleasing to look at, it was actually rather useless. Gou Huai, in fact, held his first time in high regard and stuck to absolute virtue.
“Forget it, forget it, having it added to the least useful attribute is a good thing, pretty much like getting a bad start, padding the knife was successful!”
Su Huai comforted himself, took a deep breath, and bowed repeatedly to the full moon above, anxiously activating the 70-point Favorability Lucky Wheel.
Give me gold!
A 2 in 20 chance for gold, 6 in 20 for red, 10 in 20 for blue, 2 in 20 for white—the odds of hitting a gold reward were still low, but as long as it wasn’t blue, he’d be killing it.
Even the White Zone’s 7 million dog food would be acceptable, but of course, getting the Talent would be the most awesome.
As he held his breath in anticipation, the needle crawled past the blue area.
And finally… it gently landed on a glint of radiant gold light.
Oh yeah!
Huge success!
Pei Shuyu, your seat is secured!
Su Huai punched the air and then took a deep breath with his eyes closed for two seconds before checking the final reward.
[Congratulations to the host on drawing Pei Shuyu’s Extraordinary Talent: Destiny’s Intuition, Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Disaster]
[Talent Effect: When making significant decisions, you can sense the pros and cons to a certain extent and make relatively better choices]
Reading just two lines, Su Huai was completely stunned.
What the heck!
This is freaking outrageous…
How come Pei Shuyu’s Talent seems to be even more OP than Chen Nuanhan’s unscientific sixth sense?
I mean, could it be that those high-achieving success stories all possess some kind of special Talent?!
Su Huai was truly questioning life.
Then, without looking at the rest of the rewards, he frowned and stood there in deep thought.
He had a funny hunch that getting to the bottom of this could be crucial to his future.
Su Huai’s entry point for thought was interesting—he thought of the word “entrepreneurship.”
Everyone thirsts for success, but how exactly do you achieve it?
Ever since the advent of the internet era, endless debates about the qualities for success, such as “Is hard work or talent more important?” or “Is timing or personal qualities more important?” have been rampant online.
Before this, Su Huai believed that being at the right place at the right time was more crucial than capability.
However, looking at Pei Shuyu’s example, the ability to “choose the right direction” can also be a kind of Talent?
It seems that’s really the case…
Opportunities kept coming in waves. Some people joined in passively, while others dove in actively, and there were those who avoided them like the plague.
Those who dodged them were left beating their chests in regret, passive participants made just a little money in their haze, but only those with proactive determination reached the peak.
Regardless of how many random factors were involved, their fundamental driving force was the belief “I think this is a good opportunity.”
Su Huai, on the other hand, wasn’t so sure about opportunities.
Like millions of ordinary people, he was always late to the party, lacking foresight.
Looking back at others’ success, it always seemed easy, but when it came his turn to make a try, he’d be befuddled just thinking about it.
“Well, damn, was my reluctance to start a business in my past life essentially because I lacked the ability to make the right choices?!”
Su Huai closed his eyes, furrowing his brow in recollection.
Soon, he confirmed his conclusion.
In his former life, he felt indifferent to any opportunity—it seemed doable yet not quite worth the effort, never having a decisive judgment on which ones were truly worth going all-in for a do-or-die shot.
Thus, while he had a knack for dealing with specifics, he couldn’t make big decisions for the life of him.
So, it wasn’t that I missed the trend, but rather that I severely lacked judgment about it?!
In stark contrast, Pei Shuyu was obviously on the other end of the spectrum.
Committedly diving into the live broadcasting industry back in ’16, quickly transitioning after growing big, overcoming God knows how many hardships, and clearly making it big in the MCN business…
What do you think?
