Chapter 191: Lottery Draw System and Ranking System
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhao Yu had been appointed as the lord of the Solar System a week ago.
During the week, he would basically pay a visit to the Count’s island every day.
There was two systems set up in the Count’s island. A lottery and ranking system
The chance to draw the lottery held once a month. There were four types of reward items categorized into gold, purple, green, and white.
There was a total of 1 gold item, 10 purple items, 100 green items, and several white items.
The gold item was a treasure that everyone coveted. It was the Health Potion Type A that could increase one’s lifespan by one month.
According to the Empire’s instructions, each period’s prize pool would contain a different type of life-extending gold item, but each item had a certain resistance effect.
Like this Life Elixir Type A, it could work up to five times at most, any more and it would be useless.
The 10 purple items were 10 blueprints of level-1 civilizations weapons.
Other green and white items were conventional things for zero-level civilizations.
Any gold or purple item would be desirable, as they would provide improvement to the level-o civilization.
Zhao Yu only wanted the golden Health Potion Type A. After all, his civilization’s technology level had already reached 2.7.
The ten purple items were only weapon blueprints.
One draw of the lottery required 100 grams of dark matter. Other lottery draw options were 1,000,10,000, and 100,000.
With a thousand draws, a green item was guaranteed, ten thousand draws guaranteed a purple item, and a hundred thousand draws will guaranteed a gold item.
Everyone could only look at the lottery system with dry envy, as no one had any dark matter.
Unexpectedly, the Empire directly provided a line of service. With their status as Earls, they could borrow up to 100 tons of dark matter per year, equivalent to 100 million grams.
Many people started using their credit to partic.i.p.ate in the lottery.
Zhao Yu didn’t dare to borrow; he only watched from the sidelines.
Some people drew a few hundred times and got mostly white items.
Some drew over a thousand times before they got a green item.
After watching for a week, basically, no one had drawn a gold item.
There were quite a few people who drew purple, but on average, everyone drew more than ten thousand.
Zhao Yu was speechless.
10,000 draws converted to dark matter, was equivalent to one million grams, which would require the use of one million intelligent beings as raw material.
For Zhao Yu, he couldn’t even come up with the 100 million grams of dark matter he had to pay to the Milky Way Empire each year, let alone frivolously spend it on these things.
On Earl Island, almost a hundred thousand lords were present, and most of them chose to borrow without any apparent burden on their conscience.
But there were a few, like Zhao Yu, who didn’t accept the situation of using living beings as raw material to refine dark matter. They looked troubled all day, huddling together to discuss whether there was any way to avoid paying the dark matter.
Unfortunately, they searched all over Earl Island and found that most of the facilities were designed for them to spend dark matter, with no way to earn it.
Not until the ranking system was activated.
The ranking system involved one-on-one virtual civilization wars, held monthly. The top hundred rankings were rewarded with various t.i.tles, increased chances in the next lottery, and dark matter.
The first place was rewarded with as much as 10 tons of dark matter, and the second place got 5 tons.
All earls could partic.i.p.ate through the quantum world, replicating 100 military units from reality into the virtual battle environment.
Partic.i.p.ants were ranked by stars, with every 100 points equaling one star level, ranging from one star to ten stars.
Within the same star level, the winner gained +1 point, the loser -1 point. Across star levels, each extra star level maintained the +1 point for winning, but losing deducted points according to the star level difference.
For instance, if a four-star player lost to a one-star, they would lose 4 points, but if they won, they would gain only 1 point.
The ranking system had just begun, and many had tried it, scanning their real military units into the virtual world and starting battles.
Zhao Yu naturally scanned a hundred warships, but when he was ready to join the battle, he discovered that each match in the ranking system also required 100 grams of dark matter.
Zhao Yu was not daring to partic.i.p.ate. Instead, he returned to reality, planning to discuss it with people like General Chu and others.
After a week of discussion, Colonel Chu and the others were more in favor of Zhao Yu partic.i.p.ating.
“Commander, if we take first place in every ranking, we could earn 120 tons of dark matter a year,” they reasoned.
“Deducting the 100 tons we have to pay the Empire, we could still have 20 tons left…”
“According to calculations, the dark matter spent on match fees in a year, a.s.suming all wins, would need less than two tons, leaving eighteen tons…”
They were quite confident about the battle outcomes. After all, their opponents were all zero-level civilizations. Even with the level 1 weapons from the prize pool, they were no match for their 2.7 technology level.
Let alone their level 3 weapon Light Needles.
It seemed that the Milky Way Empire did not cla.s.sify them according to technology level, but according to population.
If it were according to technology level, Zhao Yu should have had a gold token and been on Prince Island..
