nto a Death Knight……’
It was a huge dilemma. Was this how people who gambled felt like?
A cold sweat started forming on Ark’s forehead. Ark wasted time while hesitating. Dedric had been watching from afar and he finally walked closer and mumbled.
“I told you. As an undead, that fellow has no luck. Do you think that an undead has any luck? Lucky would only look good on a noble vampire like me.” 암.”
“You really are…..!”
“Ah, no, I was just talking.”‘
When Ark glared at Dedric, he became surprised and immediately closed his mouth. Although anger swelled up inside Ark, there was no time to punish Dedric. 4 minutes had already passed. During the remaining 16 minutes, he had to decide whether to give up or gamble again. But Ark’s heart had already made a decision.
‘This opportunity is too good to give up.’
If he knew all the information then he might’ve given up before spinning the roulette wheel. But he had already begun. He had to continue to the end.
‘Who is to blame? If the stats are cut again then I’ll just feed him food.”
Ark closed his eyes tightly and made the decision to turn the roulette. Then, all of a sudden Dedric’s words struck his frontal lobe.
‘Wait? Luck? Deimos’ luck?’
After receiving a shock, Ark’s frontal lobe began to actively work. Ark had thought the results of turning the wheel was due to luck. However, this place was a game. And coincidences don’t exist in games.
‘Yes, that’s it!’
Ark’s eyes brightened. These days Ark was exceptionally lucky and found good items. But looking back, there was an explanation for this. He had received the ‘Sacred Branch’ from Popo. The option was especially worth noting, with an extra +30 to luck and a +20% chance of finding magic items. Ark had received it before Nagaran and then forgotten about the effects. Then the effect came into play in the Netherworld. Yes, monsters dropping items depended on the results of numerical calculations. And the thing that could be applied in this situation was the…..luck stat!

Ark’s luck was currently 103….
With the effects of Sacred Branch, it was 133. However, all his stats increased by 40% thanks to the dark attribute bonus. In other words, the final value was 186. It’s quite high compared to other games where the luck stat was generally low.
‘It is too weird. My luck is 186, yet first I received the ‘Fail’ option and the next time it landed on a useless profession for me? If so, my luck isn’t applied to this roulette wheel.’
Then the answer was that Deimos’ luck stat was applied to the roulette wheel! He opened the information window and saw that Deimos only had 26 luck. In fact, when he first evolved Deimos had 50 stat. But when he used bone collecting, stats like strength and agility went up while luck fell. Ark hadn’t really cared about the luck stat. No, he had welcomed it when Deimos’ strength and agility went up. Therefore he was caught off guard by this situation.
‘Dedric’s complaints are sometimes useful.’
If Dedric had not mentioned it, he never would’ve thought of the undead’s luck.
‘The waiting time for the roulette is 20 minutes. I had wondered why it required waiting time…..but it turns out to be needed. It is for a skill that can change the rules of the game! If there was 20 minutes available, wasn’t there time to change the rules? Anyway, once I know the problem then solving it isn’t difficult!’
Ark’s face, which had begun to look despairing, brightened.
“There is no time. Survival cooking recipe list!”
A list containing hundreds of different recipes appeared in front of Ark. The remaining time was 14 minutes. Ark used filters to get rid of the unnecessary dishes. There were approximately 40 dishes that gave a ‘lucky’ effect. But he could only make 5 at the moment.
‘Creating 5 dishes can boost the luck by 60. With Deimos’ current luck, he would have 86 at most. But there is only a 2% probability of landing on Death Knight. Damn, if I knew that luck was this important then I would’ve packed extra ingredients to raise it……’
It was too late to feel regretful.
‘There might be a way to raise the luck above 86.’
Ark took out all his ingredients and made a dish. He paid attention to the pot’s thermostat and added expensive spices. Then a brilliant light exploded from the pot and a stunning dish was created.
The best ‘Four-leaf Clover Pancake’ has been completed using Survival cooking!
The pancakes decorated with four-leaf clovers have been cooked well and symbolizes good fortune. Because of the decoration, eating the pancakes will make you feel more lucky. Although it is a relatively simple dish, your sincerity has create an a la carte dish.
‘That’s it!”
That’s what Ark was aiming for. A la carte dishes provided extra bonuses through sincerity! It wasn’t easy to receive the ‘A la carte’ or ‘Miracle Nursing’ effects. But now it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that life or death rested on the luck stat. The brain scanning unit detected this and he was able to create an ‘A la carte’ dish.
“What is this? Ah ha, have you finally realized that you treated me poorly? Huhuhu, it isn’t necessary for you to cook for me…..well, I did receive some unfair treatment. Since it’s already made, I’ll eat it well.”
Dedric approached after smelling the fragrant dish.
“Don’t be annoying and go away!”
Ark kicked Dedric aside and fed the pancakes to Deimos.
“Eh? “M-master! Are you really going to act like that?”
Dedric obtained a bruise on his eye and once again started complaining. But he had no time to pay attention to his pet’s feelings.
‘There isn’t a lot of time left. I have to create all the dishes and feed it to him before then!’
Ark quickly made the rest of the dishes. However, he rushed too much and failed to make an ‘A la carte’ dish.
“Damn it! No, it can’t be. Let’s calm down. I can’t rush too much. Come, Dedric eat these dishes.”
“I don’t want to, you petty and dirty….ugh!”
Ark crammed the failed dishes into Dedric’s mouth and took a deep breath. After several more failures, he was able to make an ‘A la carte’ dish.
“Ugh….am I a rubbish bin for food? Gag, I’m about to burst.”
Dedric’s stomach swelled so much that it looked like it was going to burst. Anyway, after making the ‘A la carte’ dishes he was able to raise Deimos’ luck to 140.
“That’s it, this is the best that I can do. 140 is not a small number in regards to luck. I hope it lands on Death Knight…..if not, at the very least a skeleton warrior, Deimos!”
Clack clack clack clack!
Deimos also nodded nervously. At that time the message window showed up.
-The time limit of 20 minutes has been completed. We will spin the roulette wheel.
