Chapter 5: Lottery

”Lottery?” Zian Zhang asked.

[Navigation Elf]: Yes. This is your only chance in the game, and it is only offered to those players who have finished the tutorial. Please be serious, as this is the only chance you have. The only one.

”Does that mean… there won’t be a bonus if I capture any pets in the future?”

[Navigation Elf]: The pet itself is the bonus. Special pets have special abilities that are beyond your imagination.

”Okay… when could we start? Now?”

[Navigation Elf]: Anytime you like.

”Eh… Maybe later.”

[Navigation Elf]: After the lottery, we won’t give any specific tasks, only providing information on the appearance of rare pets or mythical creatures. Capture or not? It is completely up to you.

”By the way, the lottery. What can I get from that?”

[Navigation Elf]: Any pet in the database, even those extremely rare mythical creatures.

Zian stared at the blinking light for a while and asked ”By the way… Are you the so-called 24-hour customer service? ”

[Navigation Elf]: I am your navigation elf.

He knew that he would not get an answer from the elf, and the conversation would come to an end, so he turned off the game.

The reason he didn’t decide to go through with the lottery immediately was because he was never a ”lucky” guy. He never won anything like this, not even the lucky draw for a popsicle or a can of soda. Lucky draws always gave him a headache. Since this would be his only chance, he decided to pray for victory this time in a traditional way—by taking a shower, changing into clean clothes, burning some incense, and having a good dream in the hopes of obtaining better luck.

The next morning, he work up exhausted and felt sore all over his body.

”I haven’t exercised in a while. I need to get back on track.”

Why did he feel like this after only chasing that stray cat for a while yesterday?

In fact, he didn’t sleep well last night, instead having lots of weird dreams. Various pets played with each other in his dream and disappeared after a while.

After cleaning himself up, he said good morning to his parents’ portrait. Then he went downstairs to the shop.

He planned to buy some pets from the breeding base after the lottery.

”Game launched.”

”Eh… Lucky draw now?” he asked.

[Navigation Elf]: Any time you like.

”Then… now.”

An extra large block appeared on his phone, divided into innumerable smaller blocks, like a chessboard. He could vaguely see a pet’s headshot in each block.

[Navigation Elf]: You only need to say ”start,” and the game will traverse the entire database. When you say ”stop,” the cursor will be in the position of your pet.

Zhang Zian looked at the watch and said, ”Start!”

The cursor swung around the blocks randomly, left and right, up and down at a very fast speed. He saw the time reach 08:08:08 and said, ”Stop!”

The cursor stopped.

”What did I get?”

The block was too tiny to distinguish what was in it.

[Navigation Elf]: Congratulations! ”Lucky Cat”!

[Game hints]: Pet ”Lucky Cat” has been added to your Pet Bar, where you can always review it.

”Lucky Cat...?” Zhang Zian didn’t know what to say; hopefully, this was not specifically making fun of him.

Anyway, he wanted to take a look at the cat first, so he entered the Pet Bar.
