'No... Calm down, let's think this through clearly...'
Suppressing his anxiety, Yoichi cupped his chin and thought deeply with a stare at the porcelain bottle.
"Hmmm... I have two choices. It's either to frame Masaru since he remained unimpeded from the earlier inspection. Or... Throw this bottle in the shit hole... But the problem is these pills! It's way too wasteful not to use these resources in front of me!"
Racking his brain, Yoichi chose to use and look for a possible remedy in the Gold or Prismatic Tickets. Therefore, he went ahead and ripped 2 [Golden Ticket] as the scene changed again.
[Secret Technique: Face Changing]
[365 portions of True-Qi Pills]
[Space Ring] (100 cubic meters)
[Night Guardian]
[Nature Affinity]
"Holy moly! The wheel was even more comprehensive and bigger unlike the Silver Roulette... Hehehe Spin!"
[Drawing...]
[Congratulations on winning (Old Skin)]
[Congratulations on winning (Self Healing Constitution)]
Back in the quarters, Yoichi noticed itchy sensations all over his body and glanced at the injuries in his forearms as if being sewn up, recovering slowly.
[Old Skin] (Gold)
—Injuries and bruises will recover much faster.
[Self Healing Constitution] (Gold)
—Faster injury recovery in combat.
"Whoa! Some of my small incisions were healed quickly... However, these things consumed stamina. After all, energy cannot be destroyed nor created. From now on, I'll have to call them passive since they work autonomously like passives in a game."
Although he didn't get the things he wanted, Yoichi seemed to be satisfied and excited about his assumption.
'If there are helpful passives like this in the roulettes, it will be smooth sailing from now on! Still, the crisis is not over. I hope that Prismatics will do well!'
[Resource Roulette]
[Spirit Pills]
[Intrinsic Soul Artifact]
[Advanced Weapon Forging Ledger]
[...]
[Passive Roulette]
[Whetstone]
[Excellent Offspring]
[Gathering Storm]
[...]
After much thought, Yoichi ripped 2 [Prismatic Tickets] and went back to his mind. However, instead of 1 roulette wheel, there were two gigantic wheels with dazzling items and divine abilities in front of him.
'Uwah! The roulette was split into two! Regardless, I'll have to go passive.'
In his mind, using [Prismatic Ticket] in the Resource Pool felt wasteful, considering that there were still [Qi-Blood Pills] in his hands.
Furthermore, he didn't know how to get the tickets. Prerequisite requirements and discoveries of the system aspects were in the process of fuck around and finding out.

[Congratulations on winning (Incinerator)]
[Congratulations on winning (Battle Instinct)]
*GRRRRRRR*
Suddenly, Yoichi felt constipated yet the fiery desire to eat anything sent intense signals through his brain.
"Hmmm... So hot..." On his side, Hikari mumbled and hugged his hips, feeling the warmth like a furnace in an endless winter.
'Fuck! This is too much! I'll take one...'
'Hmmm... Not enough, one more!'
'Again!'
Consumed by eager starvation, he ate all the [Qi-Blood Pills] and felt fulfilled, savoring the energy rushing through his veins.
[Incinerator](Prismatic)
—Every time you digest food, it will be 100% perfectly digestion. At the same time, you will starve faster.
Note: rich in nutrition foods will give additional Qi-Blood or unknown attributes.
[Battle Instinct](Prismatic)
—In battle, you are like a fish in water! Increases focus, perception, and sense of rhythm in combat.
Note: can also sense surrounding malice towards the user.
"So that's why! An augment type and a battle type passive. Regardless, it's a double-edged blade... Looks like I need to satiate this hunger from time to time unless I want to die from hunger! For now, throw this bottle out. I'll think about this later on..."
'Shit, this is too much "nourishing!"'
Subsequently, Yoichi stood up with his hands on his lower body, hiding a secret alongside the bottle, and went into the toilet.
However, right between the toilet and the sleeping quarters, Yoichi sensed malice aimed and looked at a certain distance until he went into the comfort room with trepidation.
"Did you see that? He looked at us!"
"Huh? Are you that paranoid after losing mission activities, Yukiko? Look at him, trembling. Maybe he was chilly and felt the wind on this side..."
On the tree, a boy and a girl roughly looked like 12-year-olds guarding the area until Yoichi walked in their eyes.
"Do you take me as a fool, Mitsuru?! We both saw him looking at us..." Closing the distance between the toilet and the tree nearby, Yukiko checked all possible escape routes.
"Hah, then what? Even if he ran away, he's definitely dead from these kunai!" Following Yukiko, Mitsuru glanced at the room and then back at the girl.
"This little boy appears to be suspicious... Maybe we should check the room for any questionable acts."
"Hehehe, do you really want to go in?" Smiling lecherously, Mitsuru joked.
"Fuck off!" However, Yukiko glanced at him with disgust on her face.
'Shit! Those shinobi... So scary! As for this hole, I pray for these cleaners a good stomach after seeing this shit."
Looking at the hole with mixes of yellow piss and brown excrement swarmed with maggots and flies, Yoichi disposed of the bottle as it gradually sank to the bottom of the putrid lake.
"Hoy, are you done now?!"
Startled, Yoichi glanced at the door with a mix of anxiety and adrenaline in his blood. However, once he opened the door, it wasn't the patrols.
"Heh, shitting yourself Yoichi? Or eating shit? Hahaha..."
It was one of Tadao's lackeys, who appeared to be relieving himself in the middle of the night.
"Hehehe, sorry for the wait."
Yoichi replied nonchalantly and went back into the sleeping quarters, cleansing himself from the scene and away from the evidence.
After the lackey was finished, Mitsuru and Yukiko emerged from the shadows. One was lazing around and the other was crossing her arms.
"Come on now, Yukiko. You can't just report somebody just because he accidentally peeked at us from far away. It's utterly ridiculous even if you report it to Hayate-sama!"
"Tch. It's you who is a faulty one! If you just choose to follow me, these problems in this shitty area will be complete!"
"Here we go again with your delusional tantrums..."
"Oy, get back here! I'm not done talking!"
In the blink of an eye, the two went away without a proper investigation deeming the event, a coincidence.
'I need to scheme for that Space Pouch and practice the Heavenly Demon Postures early. One step at a time, one step at a time...'
On the other hand, Yoichi slept with warmth all over his body, ignoring all thoughts aside, and drifted to the dreamland.
