648 yuan... once. The price may be adjusted as the number of card draws increases - it is likely to increase.
Ethan Wu was stunned.
In his twenty years of gaming career, three years of working career, and three years of being in a coma, he had never seen such a simple, direct, pure, unpretentious, and money-making game.
He remembered that when he first entered the industry, he made a simple gameplay system for their game and showed it to his boss.
The boss looked at it and asked: "How much money would it cost to fill this hole?"
"About 600 or so." Ethan Wu said.
"Six hundred dollars?" The boss looked at him as if he were a prehistoric monster.
"You underestimate us players, don't you? You are too green, don't you? Players will fill your hole in a few minutes? No, Xiao Wu, go back and recalculate."
Later, Ethan Wu reluctantly raised the price of the pit to three thousand yuan, and limited the players to spend no more than sixty yuan a day in the pit to ensure that his pit could survive for two months. Only then did he barely complete the task.
Since then, Designer Xiao Wu has never designed a scam that costs less than three thousand yuan - either it is a completely green and pure welfare, or if it is a scam, it has to be a big one.
However, today, he still had to admit that he had met the ancestor of money-sucking.
But it is understandable, after all, not everyone is as poor as he is now. The initial card drawing fee of 648 yuan should be no problem for many rich people on Earth and other planets, not to mention those planetary teams with planetary support. So the more you draw, the higher the marginal cost of drawing another card, until it is so high that those with abundant resources can no longer draw cards at will.
The contractor's identity card is directly linked to the contractor's strength. With this charging method, the final plan ensures that the strength gap between participants is controllable within a certain extent.
In fact, think about it, this is to protect the rights and interests of poor civilian players like him.
When Ethan Wu came out this time, his parents deposited 5,000 yuan into his card, and the Internet cafe he chose was the cheapest virtual warehouse in Ningcheng, with a daily rent of 349 yuan. He set himself the goal of making money in the final plan within ten days, so that he would have 1,500 yuan in cash in case of emergency.
It's not impossible to take out 648 yuan from the 1500 yuan to draw a card. If it was before the car accident, Ethan Wu would definitely draw without any care, and he wouldn't be reluctant to draw ten cards. But now he still feels the pain, and he will feel even more distressed if the 648 yuan has not been shipped.
Thinking of this, Ethan Wu confirmed with Miss Lulu in front of him: "Can we draw cards in the challenge level?"
"Sure." Miss Lulu nodded and reminded, "But it takes about half a minute to draw the ID card. You have to make sure you have enough time."
Ethan Wu responded.
He decided not to smoke for the time being.
I don’t know what the first level is about yet. When I enter the level and find that I really encounter difficulties and have no other way to solve them, I can draw a card and give it a try.
Seeing that he gave up drawing the card, the kitten didn't say anything. It just opened its dark golden eyes and glanced at Ethan Wu, then continued to nestle on his shoulder to recuperate. However, Ethan Wu felt it was inconvenient to hold him and wanted to put him in his pocket, which made the kitten open its eyes and look at him in dissatisfaction, so Ethan Wu had to give up.
Cats are really delicate and noble creatures, and you can't mess with them.
Ethan Wu muttered inwardly and straightened the cat on his left shoulder: "Cat, we are really going in this time, sit tight and don't fall down."
The cat ignored him.
Seeing that they were about to enter the door, Miss Lulu called Ethan Wu again and reminded him: "Mr. Wu, do you want to turn on the live broadcast?"
"If you turn on live streaming, there will be a live streaming room for you in the live streaming area of the final plan, and other people in the universe can see your participation in real time. They can send comments and communicate with you, and they can also give you rewards. The rewards can be directly exchanged for wealth in the final plan."
"Of course, you can choose to turn off the live broadcast when it is inconvenient for you, and turn it on again when it is convenient; you can also choose to turn it on when you are free.
Check out the comments in the live broadcast room."
Ethan Wu's eyes lit up, and he agreed without hesitation: "Yes, please turn on the live broadcast function for me."
Before coming, he had watched many live broadcasts of existing participants and was not unfamiliar with this function.
Although he thinks that not many people may watch his current live broadcast, he should be able to accumulate a group of viewers slowly. It would be even better if he could receive tips. Nowadays, he values even the smallest amount of money.
As soon as he finished speaking, a deep blue light flashed in Miss Lulu's eyes, and she said, "Okay, your live broadcast room has been opened. The live broadcast room number is asx1314. You can use the communicator to turn the live broadcast function on and off, check messages and rewards. When you exit the final plan, your live broadcast room will be permanently closed."
"If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me through Lulu in your communicator. I will always be on standby to answer your questions."
At this time, there were very few people in the hall. Most of them had already left through one of the three doors and officially started the challenge of the final plan. Ethan Wu turned around and said "thank you" to Miss Lulu, then he did not hesitate and pushed open the middle door.
Just as the door closed behind them, a traditional, stereotyped, mechanical voice sounded above his head:
"Welcome to the Final Plan."
"Your current rank is: Bronze Level 1."
---
Ethan Wu came to a room similar to the one he had seen in the live broadcast before.
This is where the next levels are randomly generated. These levels may be aimed at him alone, or they may be aimed at many planners. He will meet other planners in them, and may have to cooperate with them, confront them head-on, or even fight them for a chance to pass the level.
It is also uncertain what kind of planner he will encounter. A newcomer who is trying the level for the first time and a planner who has been working on the final plan for many years may appear in the same level.
But no matter what level it is, Ethan Wu is ready for a solo.
Although he is not an animal protectionist, Ethan Wu believes that he is not so cruel as to send a kitten to fight the enemy.
Thinking of his useless contractor, Ethan Wu stroked the kitten's fur on his shoulder several times in frustration, hoping that a miracle would happen and that he would be able to pull out some powerful identity cards for this cat ancestor in the future.
This time the cat sat still and let him stroke it, motionless as a mountain.
The room was completely dark, with only a lit translucent virtual screen in the middle. Strings of data flashed across the screen, eventually freezing into three words: Seven Days of Doomsday, Zombies, Survival.
At the same time, there is a line of small words below---
Restrictive description: The contractor can only enter with the human race identity. If the contractor does not have a human race identity, he will temporarily change to a human race and enter, and the original race special abilities will disappear.
Ethan Wu had seen the anchors enter levels when watching live broadcasts, and knew that the keywords on the screen were a summary of the next level, but he had never seen such "restrictive instructions". After thinking for a while, Ethan Wu directly used the communicator to express his doubts to Miss Lulu.
Lulu is data intelligence, so she can appear in multiple places at the same time and answer questions for different people.
After receiving Ethan Wu's inquiry, she immediately appeared and explained: "In order to ensure fairness and challenge, some levels will restrict the identity of the contractors. For example, in the level where zombies are the main challenge, if the contractor enters with the identity of a legendary race such as an angel or a demon, it will not be challenging at all, so the contractor will be restricted to entering with a human identity."
Ethan Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, it meant that in this world, at least their Cat Boss Shen would not suffer any particular loss.
Although Max Shen has no fighting ability, as a cat at least he will not attract fire.
However, an alarm bell also sounded in his heart. Not to mention the level this time, if it was a level that did not restrict the identity of the contractor, and someone pulled out an angel or a demon or something else, the descendants of Nuwa like Mu Beidai could certainly fight, but wouldn't he and Max Shen have to just lie down and get kicked?
Well, he lay down and let himself be kicked, and their Mr. Shen might be able to sneak away quietly by relying on his delicate body and soft black hair.
So if you want to go far, you have to find a way to make money to at least give the kitten a stronger racial identity.
He was thinking alone, and Max Shen, who was sitting on his shoulder, frowned slightly after seeing the content of the level. It was rare that his noble cat face could convey this expression to Ethan Wu.
Ethan Wu thought that the kitten might be worried, so he turned around and smiled at him reassuringly: "It's okay, the others in this level are also human beings, they don't have much advantage over you."
...No way, at least he is a human being.
Ethan Wu continued to coax her with a tone that was not in his heart: "Be good and hold on to my arms. Don't worry, I'll protect you, you won't die..."
"Think about it, before I got into the car accident, I had never played any of those zombie games, such as 7 Days to Die, DayZ, Resident Evil, but at least I knew about them. I can still protect a little kitty like you."
"If you behave yourself and call me brother, I won't use you as bait to lure away zombies. I will protect you... How about putting you in my pocket? Isn't that safe?"
He had never comforted Data Intelligence, nor had he comforted small animals, let alone Data Intelligence cats. So he didn't know if such words would have any effect on Max Shen.
However, it is said that a level-four civilization can create data intelligence that is no different from real people. The staff, guides, contractors and other characters in the final plan are all creations of a level-five civilization, so they should be more advanced, right?
So maybe this little cat could understand a little bit of what he said?
