Each fluffy creature got half an hour, and seeing the young man overwhelmed by the queue of waiting fluffies, the little fellows paired up on their own. This allowed the young man to stroke two at a time, alternating between each pair.
Forced to maintain an equal petting frequency for both pairs under his hands, if one side received an extra pet, the less petted one would “whimper” and demand an extra bit of attention.
It wasn’t until nightfall that Bo Ge managed to finished all the fluffies in the queue. Although both of his arms were sore and heavy, he felt exceptionally satisfied.
Opening the system backpack, Bo Ge counted the star coins earned throughout the day—units, tens, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands! His income exceeded four digits, totaling 12,160 star coins for the day!
Looking at his balance, Bo Ge’s pupils dilated. In his past life, during summer and winter breaks, working part-time for eight hours a day for a full month only yielded a monthly salary of 2,800!
Here, he could earn over a thousand credits in a single day, totaling two to three tens of thousands per month, and most of the expenses for food, drink, accommodation, and transportation were free!
With this in mind, wouldn’t the game capsule be within reach soon?
Suppressing the excitement, Bo Ge ordered a cup of free hot milk, sat at the bar sipping it slowly, and began searching for information about the game capsule using the light brain.
Game capsules come in two specifications: professional and daily. The professional game capsule is priced exorbitantly, with a digit more than the daily game capsule. The starting price is at least ten thousand credits.
The daily game capsule is relatively more affordable, starting at seven to eight hundred credits. However, with a lower price comes lower ratings; it truly adheres to the principle of getting what you pay for.
Scrolling through the light brain while sipping hot milk, Bo Ge licked the corner of his mouth and suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him from behind.
Years of survival experience on the desolate star had sharpened Bo Ge’s sixth sense. Without making a sound, Bo Ge activated the camera function on the light brain and subtly shifted its position. There, not far away, were three strange-looking fellows.
Three fluffy creatures, one pushing the other, slowly approached Bo Ge, as if encouraged by a friend, approaching a secretly admired girl.
Bo Ge didn’t want to startle the prey. While sipping milk, he observed the three strange fluffies on the light brain, and suddenly, the three peculiar fluffies tangled into a ball, engaging in a fierce fight.
Bo Ge was a bit puzzled, faintly hearing a few intermittent arguments.
“We’ll scare him!”
“He’ll definitely notice; let’s go quickly!”
“No, I want a human to touch me…”
The battle was intense, and a long, slender fluff suddenly flew towards Bo Ge. It was about to hit the back of the young man’s head when Bo Ge, who had been following the situation closely, tilted his head and reached out to grab the long, fluffy object.
The fluff instinctively coiled around the young man’s hand. Bo Ge looked down and saw a pink and white pig-nosed snake looking at him innocently. It was wrapped in a layer of fluffy coat, and on its head, a pair of small pink fluffy round ears were fixed with pink ribbons.
There was no expected scream. After a brief silence, Bo Ge heard the other two “fluffies” nervously whispering behind him.
“Did we scare the human?”
“I told you, wearing a fluffy coat won’t work. You guys insisted on trying! What if we scare the human!”
Strong curiosity made Bo Ge tilt his head and focus on the pig-nosed snake. He had only seen this type of snake in his phone in his past life, with very distinctive features. Its upper lip curled up, resembling a turned-up nose. It had a pair of round, jewel-like eyes, a very gentle temperament, and a cute appearance, making it a favorite among snake enthusiasts.
Bo Ge had even seen videos of this snake drinking water, making smacking sounds with its mouth. It was like a clumsy but lovable creature.
“Hello there,” said the pig-nosed snake, cautiously hiding its snake essence. Its big, round, gem-like eyes, along with the two small round ears on its head, made it surprisingly cute.
Bo Ge turned his head to look at the other two. The chameleon, wearing a white fluffy coat with a small white ball hanging on the tip of its tail, and the rainbow-haired creature, a half-meter-long crocodile, with sharp teeth covered in braces.
Bo Ge could reluctantly accept the pig-nosed snake and chameleon, but the crocodile…
The young man swallowed nervously, feeling a bit uneasy about legless and multi-legged creatures.
The fear of legless and multi-legged creatures seemed to be encoded in the human genes for self-preservation. The young man, with a subconscious defensive posture, was expected by the three “fluffies.” Although it was sad, they hoped to make an effort.
“We, we can pay double!” The chameleon held its two front paws together, pitifully pleading. “Just let us get close to you, lying down for a while is enough!”
“I know humans don’t like us. We don’t need to be touched; just let us get a little closer to you!” The pink and white pig-nosed snake quickly slid down from the young man’s hand, coiling sincerely in front of Bo Ge, its small eyes filled with pleading.
The crocodile with rainbow-colored hair, looking at the young man, knew that its voice wasn’t pleasant and could scare humans. The only thing it could do was carefully press its claws under its belly, tightly close its big mouth, and restrain all its sharpness.
“…Alright.” Bo Ge had never raised cold-blooded pets, but he didn’t dislike them very much. He remembered in his past life during middle school, there was a male classmate who kept a corn snake as a pet. Many classmates isolated him because of this, and some parents even said he was mentally disturbed.
But when he truly got to know the snake, Bo Ge found that it wasn’t as scary as he had imagined. The corn snake was non-venomous and gentle. The male classmate was just a bit introverted and not good at expressing himself, but he was very compassionate and sympathetic, a gentle person.
The three “fluffies” cautiously approached Bo Ge. The pig-nosed snake coiled beside him, the chameleon crouched on the nearby chair, and the rainbow-haired crocodile obediently lay at Bo Ge’s feet, not daring to move, showing sincere respect and fear, with its body stiff.
Just ten minutes later, the three “fluffies” quickly withdrew from Bo Ge’s side. The pig-nosed snake handed over star coins with the tip of its tail, and when the young man accepted them, it happily twisted its body.
“Next time, you don’t have to wear fur.” Bo Ge looked at the three cold-blooded animals. “Binding fur on your bodies must be uncomfortable for you, right?”
The three cold-blooded animals were stunned for a while, and the rainbow-haired crocodile shed a few rough tears, choking up a few times.
After the three cold-blooded animals left reluctantly, Bo Ge exchanged all the star coins for credits. Together with the previous 600 credits, Gugu now had a total of 2016 credits.
This was a considerable amount of money. Following his habits from his past life, Bo Ge made a spending plan, and the first thing on the list was to buy a game capsule.
“Searching for game capsules for you. Search successful. There are a total of 37,921 pieces of information.”
“I want something of better quality, priced around 1,000 credits, suitable for my needs.” Bo Ge jumped out of the game capsule, sat on the bed, and stared energetically at the robot.
“I’ll specially recommend three for you.” Little Du sorted out the information, and three game capsules appeared on the screen.
“The first one, S701 Flame Red Game Capsule, priced at 1288 credits.
The second one, A007 Sunset Orange Game Capsule, priced at 1399 credits.
The last one, also specially recommended by Little Du for you, S917 Blaze Gold Game Capsule, priced at 1688 credits.
This version of the game capsule has higher safety, comes with a three-year accidental warranty, and a five-year comprehensive warranty. It has an automatic brain protection barrier in case of danger, is waterproof, fireproof, and shockproof. The appearance is sleek, the color is noble, and most importantly, it’s very friendly to humans.”
“Friendly to humans?” Bo Ge scratched his head.
Little Du automatically played a video. In the footage, a man was ejected from the game capsule, and then a few large characters appeared on the capsule: “You’re a lousy teammate!”
“Why is it even scolding people?” Bo Ge widened his eyes, looking incredulous.
The angry man in the video, picking up the nearby smart chair, smashed it onto the game capsule. Before the capsule was smashed, it displayed an image of giving the middle finger.
“Some models of game capsules have a bit of a temper and are quite sarcastic in their evaluations of the owner,” Little Du sweetly said. “If it gets damaged, and you have to enter the second world again, you’ll have to buy another one.”
“Why would a game capsule have such a function?” Bo Ge was puzzled.
“Because the core technology of the game capsule comes from the First Legion. For every game capsule sold, the legion gets a share of the profits.”
Little Du introduced to Bo Ge, “The idea of adding an evaluation function to the game capsule was originally proposed by the commander-in-chief of the First Legion, who is now the current chief of the alliance. Besides providing players with fair evaluations to motivate them, it also serves to provide additional military funds for the legion.”
“He sounds cunning.” Bo Ge made a fair evaluation. “He surely gets a share of the profits too?”
“Of course.” Little Du nodded. “It’s public information. The chief has made contributions to the development and improvement of the game capsule, enjoying a portion of the profits. For every game capsule sold, the chief receives around 20 credits.”
Bo Ge roughly estimated the sales of these three game capsules, totaling more than three million units. With 20 credits per unit, that amounted to 60 million credits.
And this was just for three types of game capsules.
Just now, Little Du had retrieved over 30,000 pieces of information. If you calculate it, it was an unimaginable wealth that Gugu couldn’t fathom.
Sighing at the wealth disparity, Bo Ge hesitated for a moment. After careful consideration, he ultimately chose the 1688-credit game capsule.
After paying the credits for the game capsule, Bo Ge looked at the remaining 328 credits in his account, feeling a bit uneasy. However, considering he could earn a thousand credits tomorrow, he regained his confidence.
Although he spent a lot, Gugu also earned a lot!
Early the next morning, the game capsule arrived. There was a robot installer who came to help with the installation. Bo Ge watched the golden flame pattern outside the game capsule, feeling reluctant to let go.
“Don’t touch it.” The game capsule displayed a few words. “Hurry up and go into battle, improve yourself!”
It really had a legion flavor.
Bo Ge lay down in the game capsule, the cover closed, a blue light flashed, and in the moment Bo Ge closed his eyes, he was back at the location where he logged out yesterday.
Too fast!
Unable to resist, Bo Ge moved a bit and found himself more agile. It was as if he had unloaded several tens of kilograms of weight from his body, and even his breathing became much smoother.
Opening the mission progress, Bo Ge saw a prompt for the successful completion of a D-rank mission. Based on the mission completion, the system rewarded Bo Ge with two star coins and twenty experience points.
There was also a red dot in the notification bar, and Bo Ge opened each one. Inside were achievement advancement notifications.
【Congratulations to the player for achieving the “Hard to Find Kindred Spirits” achievement. Achievement points +10.】
【Congratulations to the player for achieving the “Power of Unity” achievement. Achievement points +10.】
【Congratulations to the player for achieving the “First Mission Completion” achievement. Achievement points +10.】
Bo Ge opened his character information panel. Because he had officially registered successfully, some previously grayed-out data was now displayed.
【Nickname: Player has not set a nickname
Gender: Male
Race: Human (Alliance Level 1 Rare Species)
Occupation: None
Level: 0
Experience: 20%
Achievements: 30 points
Basic Attributes:
Health: 200/200
Spirit: 100% (Full)
Physical Attack: 30, Magical Attack: 80, Physical Defense: 1000, Magical Defense: 1000.】
Recalling the evaluation after completing the trial, Bo Ge realized that physical attack was related to his strength, while magical attack was linked to his spirit level.
Below the basic attributes was a line of special attributes:
【Attack Speed: 125%
Movement Speed: 125%
Accuracy: 75%
Dodge: 25%
Critical Hit: 20%】
Bo Ge continued reading down, and the last line was hidden attributes.
【Luck: 100, Curse: 0】
Opening the equipment slot, it displayed his virtual character model, with only a lonely 【SSS-grade armor】 on it. Due to its special properties, it didn’t take up an equipment slot.
Bo Ge counted—players from level 0 to 30 could equip up to two weapons, five types of armor (head, upper body, lower body, hands, feet), and five types of accessories (head, neck, torso/back, arms/hands, legs/feet). Additionally, they could have one special main equipment (pet, mech, vehicle), and these items didn’t occupy system inventory space.
After level 30, players could equip one additional weapon and one special main equipment.
After level 50, all five weapon slots were unlocked, along with all three special main equipment slots. This meant that Gugu could glamorously carry a full set of weapons, drive a floating Maserati, showcase both a pet and a mech, and make a grand entrance—Gugu saving the beauty, causing the admiration of the young ladies.
The corners of the young man’s mouth slowly lifted, his eyes sparkling like hidden stars. In the next moment, a defeated cat ball rolled to Bo Ge’s feet, looking dispirited and listless.
“Benefactor, I’m sorry, meow.”
Author’s note: Mao Tao: Will there be a Maserati in the future?
Gugu: Gugu has a dream…
