Chapter 3
After Ms Lulu finished her explanation, the screen in front of them disappeared then suddenly a bright golden ball appeared.
There were already many people who had summoned their contractors, most of them got R level, and the young man next to him got a SS level contractor which was rarely seen.
Wu Fei saw what the others were doing and it was only by placing his hand on this golden ball that he could summon his own contractor.
He tried to concentrate his attention then placed his hand on top of the ball.
Soon, strands of golden light dissipating from within the ball and a golden card appeared on the back of Wu Fei’s hand. A faint black shadow was depicted by the golden thread from the center of the card.
Soon, the card turned into a golden light again and suddenly a communicator appeared on Wu Fei’s wrist. At the same time a gold and silver light around Wu Fei flashed one after another then a black fur ball appeared in his palm.
this is how I imagine his cat form
The young black cat’s eyes were slightly closed and his black ears quietly dropped down, then he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of calm and deep golden eyes. He looked quietly at Wu Fei for a moment, then averted his head in disinterest and closed his eyes again.
Wu Fei summoned the card out once more under the young man’s instruction, the blue card floating above the black communicator emitting an ice-blue light.
This kind of ice-blue color light … The young man tsked and guessed that it was an R level card. The level of the card could be predicted from the light surrounding the card. Usually, the lighter the color of light, the lower the level and the brighter the color of light, the higher the level would be. For example, his SS level contractor’s identity card was enshrouded by a circle of intense blue-green color light.
“Hey, why your card doesn’t have a pattern on it? It’s different from mine.”
The young man muttered, looked at his identity card and saw that there was a human head with snake body of Nuwa descendant, bowing her forehead to the ground and with a slight restrained eyes praying on the side of the mutton-fat-white jade altar, looking holy and dignified, while on the back was the information about his contractor’s identity card named Qing Yu
But the card floating on Wu Fei’s communicator was different, its front was black and it didn’t have an image like his Qing Yu, only the back revealed its information:
Name: Shen Xing
Race: Human
Identity: President of Shen Corp.
Special ability: Good at managing investments
Rarity level: R
In terms of rarity alone, the rarity of his contractor’s initial identity card wasn’t that high.
Wu Fei’s heart, however, went cold.
Human race … a president … investment management … if this was the real world then it would certainly be nice to have such an assistant, he might be able to quickly make enough money to help his parents and paid off their debts….
However, if looking at all the hurdles in the final plan!
Escaping the sharp teeth of a mutant great white shark 10,000 meters under the sea! Taking away the big dragon’s treasures in the dragon’s cave! Running away from the demon massacre in the underworld! Fighting hand-to-hand with other participants for the limited natural resources in the wilderness for survival!
These were all the levels that Wu Fei had seen when he watched the live streaming these days.
… What’s the point of bringing a CEO to these kinds of levels! It’s not like it’s a romance game.
This big brother he summoned was really not up to date with the current development.
However, Wu Fei was startled after waiting for a minute but still didn’t see this President Shen. Finally he hesitantly lowered his head and faced the reality as he looked at the paw-sized, closed-eyed kitten in his hand – just kidding … obviously it’s a cat but you’re telling me it’s a human?
So this weak and delicate kitten that looked like it’s going to die only with a pinch was his contractor? Written as a human but actually a little cat?
At this point he really thought that a normal human CEO would be a good contractor as at least a human could make and pull off a plan.
But now this fur ball cat … could be said useless even in romance game, at most he could take it to play in the courtyard.
The young man also looked at the cat in Wu Fei’s hand in astonishment and confirmed, “Is this the contractor that you drew out?”
Wu Fei’s heart was already in a state of shock, but his face still looked unchanged.
He nodded and earnestly said, “It looks like it is … is this kind of situation is rarely seen?”
The young man seemed to consider his words and said back, “It’s not uncommon as there are also beast and evil spirit race among contractor’s initial identity and they may all appear in animal form. Someone has also drawn out a pot of flowers because his contractor is a flower demon.”
Wu Fei looked again at the information of his contractor’s identity, and yes it was human race. Not only a human but the identity was also a president.
En, a cat president.
Perhaps he might misunderstand that the Shen Corp. might be a mice catching company.
The young man had slowly regained his composure, trying to comfort Wu Fei and said, “It’s actually quite good, I remember that the information write it’s good at managing investment. Although a cat… en, I don’t know why it is written as part of human race, but if you encounter a business simulation type challenge then it will be a great help for you.”
“Moreover as you can see there used to be an unwritten rule on the game market in the final plan, usually the ones with good face and good temperament are the best quality cards.
Your contractor isn’t that bad and has a good temperament, look at its fur, it’s like satin and at a glance it has a good diet. Then you look at its eyes, golden and smooth, better than the finest gemstones. The first identity card you draw, nine and a half out of ten will be R level. If afterwards you want to draw a good identity card then you must also be powerful.”
That said, but he actually also couldn’t understand how a cat was going to play as a president and good at investment management … not to mention the identity was a human race but then what come out was in a cat form.
Wu Fei knew that the other party had good intentions and nodded, not saying that what he currently lacked the most was money so basically he couldn’t draw another card.
The young man lifted up the communicator on his left hand, “Alright, I should go too, we’ll be separated after entering the challenge level. Let’s add each other as a friend, it’s a fate that we meet by chance here, and we might even be able to look out for each other in the future. I’m Mu Bei and you are?”
Wu Fei also took out his communicator and added the other party as a friend: “My name is Wu Fei.”
Both of their communicators were the unified entry-level ones obtained when they entered the final plan. With only a simple function and more or less it was to replace the Xin Xi Watch Smartphone used in the reality world nowadays.
There were many communicators with more advanced and improved functions in the final plan, but some could only be obtained within special levels while some could directly be bought if you spend money on it. If the participants have money, then they would usually buy themselves an advanced communicator first. But right now, Wu Fei naturally didn’t have the money to pay for the expenses of such communicator.
After Mu Bei and Wu Fei added each other as friends, he left through the middle door with his contractor, the Nuwa descendant, Qing Yu. The three doors were identical but in terms of what they would encounter at the first level would depend on their own luck.
He was actually not very optimistic about Wu Fei’s future as the other party was obviously not well prepared and not only did he seem to be an ordinary person but his contractor also didn’t look powerful. He’s afraid that it would be hard to get through two levels even with the help of his contractor as the rarity is not high. He really didn’t see what and how a kitten like that can help him.
But the end of the day, the outcome would also depend on each person’s fate.
After bidding farewell to the other party, Wu Fei frowned and looked down at the kitten in his hand. He lifted his hand and not in the least concerned brought and put the kitten on his shoulder: “Let’s go, little cat, we should go in too, you can let grandpa see some fight.”
Then at this moment the young black cat opened its eyes, a pair of bottomless and dark golden cat eyes, faintly exude a hint of dissatisfaction when it looked at Wu Fei, then indifferently closed its eyes again.
In the final plan, there could only be one contractor per person, so even though somehow he had drawn a kitten whose profile showed to be human, Wu Fei was still polite and he also intended to take good care of the other party.
First, it was his partner. Second, it was like what Mu Bei said just now, maybe if he got a good identity card then his cat would become powerful. Third, was that Wu Fei feel that there must be something strange when things went wrong, at least it was set up like that in some novels and movies.
This kind of thing where the profile wrote a cat as a human race was rarely seen and it was so unlikely that there was a bug in the final plan which was a legacy left by the fifth-level civilization. So Wu Fei could only pray in his heart that his cat might be even more powerful than what he had imagined even though he didn’t know how powerful a cat can be.
Just then, his communicator rang twice.
Mu Bei: Little Brother, I’ve already entered the first level. This level was not simple and there were a lot of high level planners fighting for the clearance slot. So a word of advice, if you have any extra funds then draw two more identity cards for your contractors before you enter. The final plan’s levels were all randomly generated and randomly assigned to each planner, there was no such thing as a newbie halo or newbie protection so your first level possibly was not going to be easy.
Wu Fei was silent for a moment, he had to admit that what the other party had said was reasonable.
Actually he did understand, sometimes the initial investment in a game was necessary. In the past when playing game, if he felt that he would continuously play the game, he had the habit to buy at least a starter pack or a monthly card. Since in the beginning his luck wasn’t that good, so in order not to be immediately eliminated, he needed to try to draw another card, but he wasn’t sure that he would be able to draw a powerful identity card.
There was no one else around Wu Fei who he could talk to, so he tilted his head and stroked the cat on his shoulder, “You see that what Xiao Ge has said seem to be reasonable, I’ll ask how to draw another identity card for you. However, your profile shows you as a human but why do you look like a cat?”
The young cat, however, didn’t pay attention at him, only his dark golden eyes closed high above the ground as it continued to nest on his shoulder with its eyes closed.
The ignored Wu Fei curled up his lips and walked over to Lulu who was standing beside him: “I would like to know more on the information about drawing an extra identity card.”
From Mu Bei and other people’s reactions and wording, he could also guess that the probability of drawing a powerful identity card wasn’t that high when he already had a contractor with a mediocre racial identity card. Otherwise, the fact that the human teacher race contractor belonged to Ai Sen turned into angel race when he drawn another card would not be widely known. The Nuwa Descendant, Qing Yu, which Mu Bei had drawn also wouldn’t be so rare and made him happy, nor would there be such a common understanding where the rarity of non-human races was higher than the human races.
Lulu nodded and explained, “In terms of an extra identity card, the detailed information and rarity probability of each contractor are different from one another and unknown. In case of an existing contractor, the highest probability was to draw the same race, same identity, but different capability. Next probability was to draw the same race with different identity, which had the lowest probability.
In other words, even if he drew another card, he would still have a high probability of drawing a human-president type, only to give this cat president an extra special ability outside of managing investment, such as catching mice.
He might also need to draw a lot of cards to get the non-human racial identity for President Shen. The most crucial thing was that the card-drawing probability in the final plan was unfair and it would vary depending on the each contractor. Therefore it was quite difficult for him to estimate how many times he would need to draw a useful identity card.
With this in mind, Wu Fei continued to ask the most crucial question: “How much does it cost to draw a card? Is there a guarantee for after ten consecutive draws? Is there a discount? How many draws for it be guaranteed, can you tell me that?”
Ms. Lulu still politely smiled, “Mr. Wu, if we convert it to the currency you commonly used then the cost of drawing one card is 648 yuan. There is no guarantee and no discount. As you increase the number of cards you have already drawn, the fee will be adjusted dynamically.”
It’s called a dynamic adjustment, but actually it’s an appreciation index – but in the Final Plan forum’s comment it’s the so-called dynamic adjustment.
