As soon as he finished speaking, before Max Shen could respond, his vision suddenly became pitch black. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a simple bachelor apartment, and Max Shen was nowhere to be seen.
They have been teleported into the level.
Even if you don't understand what he said, or are still not satisfied with what he said, the kitten can't just run away like that, right?
Besides, where can such a small ball of his run away?
While Ethan Wu was in a daze, a detailed introduction and objectives of this level's mission were released to every participant who entered this level:
[This is a world before the end of the world. On this day, many people suddenly received a message from an unknown source, announcing that the entire world will usher in the end of the world in seven days. However, most people scoffed at this doomsday announcement and continued to live as usual...
...
pay attention:
1. In this level, each planner and their contractor will be assigned an initial identity, which will affect their subsequent actions and feedback from the surrounding environment;
2. The 100 planners who persist to the end can pass the level. 】
Ethan Wu digested the level introduction and roughly understood its content.
Obviously, the mission objectives are divided into two stages: this world will usher in the end of the world in seven days, so during these seven days, you must collect supplies, recruit helpers, and even build a survival shelter as much as possible to prepare for survival after the end of the world.
After the doomsday officially arrives, you will face various challenges and strive to survive to the end.
When Ethan Wu saw "the last 100 participants can pass the level", his heart sank. This level was the elimination system that he least wanted to face. Only the last 100 participants could pass the level, which meant that every planner had an incentive to attack other planners and eliminate them. So he not only had to face the challenge of the level itself, but also had to guard against other planners.
In the official description of the final plan, all participants are collectively referred to as "planners".
In this level, the planner and his contractor were assigned different identities. He and Max Shen now have different identities in this level world, so it is normal for them to be separated. It seems that the cat cub was not dissatisfied and ran away quietly.
But Ethan Wu couldn't imagine what identity Max Shen would be assigned: a stray cat in the school or community? A pet cat at home? Or a wild cat in the mountains?
The world is so big, it’s hard to find a person, how can he find a cat?
Ethan Wu began to worry. Max Shen was now unable to protect himself and could easily be injured by mistake. He had to find a way to reunite with Max Shen as soon as possible. The contractor would not really die, but each "death" would greatly weaken the contractor's ability.
In the final plan, the contractors and planners correspond one to one. Even if he is eliminated one day, Max Shen will no longer be anyone's contractor; and it is impossible for Ethan Wu to have a second contractor.
This is a doomsday level where a hundred people have to survive, and he guessed that the scope of the level would not be too large.
He inferred that the level system would not allow the planners to be too far apart, but would allow them to meet and have conflicts within a short period of time, just like the real battle royale games would set up "poison circles" to force players to gather and meet.
He quickly looked through the existing game information on hand, especially the map information, and estimated that in this level, the planners' range of action was limited to one or two cities.
For example, the Beiyu City where he is now is a famous metropolis in this level world. He guessed that at least half, or even all of the planners and contractors would be born in this city, but they were assigned different identities, making it difficult for people to tell whether the people around them are planners or level natives.
Even though Max Shen is a cat, he must be within this range. If he calms down and thinks of a way, it won't be that difficult to find the other party.
Thinking of this, Ethan Wu calmed down and checked his identity information in this level through the communicator:
His stage name is Jessica. He is a third-rate singer. His biggest wish is to become a popular singer, known and loved by people, and he is willing to pay any price for this.
Obviously, where he was now was Jessica's apartment.
The technological level of this level's background is very similar to that of the Earth before Ethan Wu's car accident, a standard level 2 elementary civilization, so many things seem very familiar to Ethan Wu.
But the most urgent priority is to find our cat.
Just when Ethan Wu was thinking about printing some missing cat flyers and posting them in the community and on the local forum like he did on Earth, wondering if it would work, his cell phone rang.
Ethan Wu instinctively picked up the phone, and heard a very surprised male voice coming from the other end: "Xiao Wu, I'm telling you that your chance has come! Your luck has turned, and you'll finally become famous! I'm telling you, this is a piece of cake, you must seize it, and serve Mr. Shen well!"
Ethan Wu thought that the world would end in seven days, and his goal was to be one of the last 100 people left, and then pass the level to get the money, who would care if he was famous or not. He had lost his cat, so how could he have the energy to serve others?
Then he was stunned for a moment and asked back: "Who are you talking about? Who do you want me to serve?"
"Mr. Shen." The man on the other end thought he was so happy that he was stupid, so he repeated it patiently, and this time he explained the whole story more clearly, "I don't know how Mr. Shen saw your program on the Internet a few days ago. Then he sent someone to the company to find you today, and specifically asked you to have dinner with him at his manor in the evening. What does this mean, don't you understand?"
"You should know that Mr. Shen has always been elusive, not to mention showing special interest in anyone. You must seize this opportunity..." The person on the other side was still chattering.
Ethan Wu opened his mouth slightly in astonishment, and asked anxiously: "Which Mr. Shen are you talking about?"
"Who else could it be?" The man thought he was pretending to be stupid and said disdainfully, "Of course it's Mr. Shen from the Shen Group, Mr. Max Shen."
He thought that Ethan Wu had such good luck this time. If he could really get close to Mr. Shen, his future would be limitless. So he softened his tone and said earnestly: "You should be more careful tonight. Don't be too flattering and eager to show that you are eager to deliver yourself to the door. Don't be too cautious. I will ask Xiao Liu to pick you up later. You come to the company first to pack up and get ready. I will ask Xiao Liu to take you there at the time in the evening."
Ethan Wu nodded in response while quickly browsing and digesting his current identity information - the man who called him was named Patrick Zhang, his current agent and also a data intelligence.
According to the information Ethan Wu obtained, the final plan has extremely strong computing power, which can generate countless data intelligence for a level to form a virtual world that is almost the same as reality.
The doomsday notice has been released, but now most of the natives in the level world do not believe the news, and just think it is another prank to attract attention, so they still have to live their lives as usual. Only the planners involved in the level know that this will become a reality in seven days.
Therefore, for the indigenous data NPCs in this level, real life and the expected prosperity and wealth are naturally much more important than some illusory doomsday prophecies.
Ethan Wu was still in shock after hanging up the phone. He had no idea what was going on.
Max Shen is clearly a cat now---let's not talk about anything else, and let's not talk about how a little cat like him can let others treat him as the president, just talk about this phone call today---how could a cat like him?
But it could also be someone with the same name?
However, the information provided by Patrick Zhang is the same as the identity on Max’s original ID card, so there should be some relationship between the two.
Now it seems that if the Mr. Shen that Patrick Zhang is referring to is his cat cub, then Max Shen's identity should be very powerful in this level. The advantage is that it will be easier to collect supplies and weapons in the early stage; the disadvantage is that a big tree attracts wind, and he may be targeted by other planners and accidentally make things difficult for others.
Therefore, we need to plan carefully what to do after meeting this "Max Shen" again.
Soon, the car that came to pick up Ethan Wu arrived. After taking him to his so-called company, someone took him to change clothes and dress up.
Jessica's company was only of medium size, but there were many office workers coming and going. Sitting in the dressing room, one could hear the noisy voices outside. Ethan Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the people coming and going outside the door, wondering if there were any planners or contractors like him.
Just on the way here, he came up with a plan:
As the newest planners and contractors, he and Max Shen had no accumulation or equipment, weak abilities, and insufficient experience. What's more, his contractor was a cat with no combat power.
Ethan Wu speculated that even among all the new and old planners and contractors, the combined combat power of one man and one cat should be the lowest. If they were to go up against other planners with rich experience, they would only have one way to go, and that was death.
Then they might as well pretend to be indigenous people, the more similar the better.
If there is no conflict of interest, planners should not cause trouble for the indigenous people in the level - just like game players generally don't cause trouble for NPCs.
This way, their chances of persevering to the end are much greater.
