Chapter 4 – Cat Dad’s Gacha Machine
Munya!
Nya!
w!
Because of Xiaomao’s loud voice, the cats in the house ca to his room. They scratched the door, wanting to get in.
Xiaomao opened the door to let them in.
“Oh, hey, Mu-Nyang. Are you going to play with your sisters here, or are you here to play with ?”
Munya
The mama cat that Xiaomao had brought ho several months ago gave birth to three healthy kittens.
Mu-Nyang, Xiaomao’s lifelong partner in the previous life, was a bicolor cat with black and white fur, looking like a cow. His iconic owing voice “Mu-Nya” earned him the na.
The sisters of Mu-Nyang were also cute. The white cat’s na was Nyanko, and she had a unique voice as well.
As for the last orange cat, she was Mir. She kept wing as if she was still a kitten even though she was already 5-month old.
Xiaomao lay on the bed, and Mu-Nyang imdiately jumped onto his chest. Mir struggled to climb the bed while Nyanko simply sat on top of Xiaomao’s face.
“Nyanko, I can’t breathe.”
“Nya.”
Nyanko wagged her tail and slapped Xiaomao’s head. She kneaded his mouth, but her nails were out.
“OW! OW! Nyanko! That’s not how a massage work!”
“Nya!”.
Xiaomao grabbed Nyanko and placed her on the bed. Then, he pointed his butt at her.
Revenge!
PUU
Nyanko, Mu-Nyang, and Mir rushed to his butt and innocently sniffed it. Then, they retched and opened their mouths to breathe like dogs.
Xiaomao laughed and carried them out of his room. However, the task was a bit difficult as the cats kept coming back inside.
He gave up and let the gang in.
But as soon as Xiaomao closed the door, Mir scratched it and wanted out.
Xiaomao shook his head and laughed. He opened the door again and let her out, but she simply stared at the carpet outside and walked back into the room.
“Haiz. My masters are not easy to please.”
Seeing that the cats were ssing with him as usual, Xiaomao stopped playing with them and turned to the ga capsule.
It was ti to make his final decision. What should he do with the 417,000 tokens?
Exchange them for 834,000 USD next year? Keep it for three years and convert it into 8.34 million?
Invest everything in the ga and beco a GaFi pro-gar?
Or the neutral way, invest only half of the tokens in the ga and sell the other half when the ti cos?
Xiaomao took several deep breaths and ditated for a minute. When the ditation was done, he slapped his face twice.
Amitabha All In!
Xiaomao created a ga account on the website and transfer everything to his ga account.
Just like that, 417,000 PACT was transferred to the ga.
Xiaomao closed his laptop and hopped into the gaming capsule. He put the VR helt on and closed the capsule hatch.
But after Xiaomao closed the glass hatch, he found Mu-Nyang snuggling on top of his chest, purring and staring at his face.
“Mu-Nyang, I’m about to play a ga. You can’t be here.”
“Munya.”
“Do you want to play with ?”
“Munya.”
“Sorry, but you can’t.”
“Munya!”
Mu-Nyang kneaded Xiaomao’s chest and closed his eyes. He wanted to sleep like that.
Xiaomao frowned. He wondered if playing the ga like this would affect his cat or his data.
Thinking of his token investnt, Xiaomao couldn’t risk it. He opened the hatch and tossed Mu-Nyang out.
Mu-Nyang’s black and white furs got stuck on his shirt, but Xiaomao didn’t care. He closed the hatch and made sure that no cat was in his gaming capsule.
Once everything was secured, Xiaomao pressed the button on his Helt, and the entire capsule lit up.
Then, Xiaomao’s consciousness sank into the VR world.
…
Ding
Xiaomao found himself floating in the void, and the character creation nu appeared.
This ga had one of Ponzi Sche GaFi’s chanics. Even though a player had purchased a VR ga capsule, they could not play the ga right away.
NFT stood for non-fungible token. In this ga, it was a token in the form of a ga character, which ca with a unique job, race, appearance, and abilities.
To play this ga, a player needed an NFT character, which ca from two sources. A player could either mint a new NFT avatar by rolling a gacha or purchase one from the ga’s marketplace.
In the ga marketplace, millions of level-1 NFT characters were on sale. Second-handed high-leveled characters were listed as well.
So ca with pre-existing skills, traits, and perks, depending on their rarity.
The rarity of NFT characters was categorized in tiers – Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Ultra-Rare, and Legendary.
As for the gacha, a player had many choices to create their character.
Xiaomao gazed at the gacha shop. There were six gacha machines that he could play with to create a new NFT character.
The first one was the cheapest. It cost only one PACT to generate a basic human character with a random basic job with no rare perk. A player could beco a warrior, a mage, or an archer. However, these jobs couldn’t be evolved in the late ga. It was suitable for crypto farrs, who made a living by selling fard tokens from this ga.
The second gacha machine was a standard gacha, but the price was reasonable as one roll cost only ten PACTs. In this gacha machine, a player had a low chance of acquiring a super rare job, such as Archmage, Templar Knight, or Saint, to start out as their first class job. However, the race was fixed to the human race.
The third machine was for advanced players. This gacha only contained fragnts of NFT, such as skills, races, and jobs. By combining two fragnts of skills, a fragnt of race, and a fragnt of job, a player could create a unique NFT character.
Unfortunately, this machine could be expensive. Although it cost only five PACTs to roll once, it required luck and investnt before a player could get their desired NFT character.
The fourth machine was a standard premium gacha for P2W players. It cost 100 PACT per roll, but the rewards that ca out would always be a rare, super-rare, or ultra-rare NFT. Moreover, the race was random, and nobody could tell what would co out as there were over a million possible NFT in this machine.
The fifth one was seasonable gacha. Like every mobile gacha ga, every month, the ga company increased the gacha rate for a certain NFT character. No player could get common or uncommon NFT as the gacha guaranteed at least a rare NFT at the minimum. Moreover, there was a guarantee system to pity bad luck players, who couldn’t get their hands on the ultra-rare NFT.
This gacha was the most popular. Although it cost 200 PACTs per roll, many new and old players ca back to spend their money on this gacha to get an ultra-rare character for their accounts.
And lastly, the sixth notorious money-sink gacha machine was what Xiaomao had been aiming for.
Xiaomao rembered it well. In his previous life, every player called it a honey trap for rookie players.
In this machine, 1,000 common, uncommon, rare, super rare, ultra-rare NFT characters, and random fragnts were put inside. Each account had one machine, and the gacha machine wasn’t shared with other players.
Once drawn or rolled, the number of gacha in the machine decreased. Players who played this gacha machine were guaranteed to get every item or NFT that was shown in the list.
Players could see what the rewards were, and they had the freedom to renew the rewards if they didn’t like them. However, it cost PACT to do so.
Xiaomao gazed at the list of NFT in the sixth gacha machine. The rate wasn’t as kind as it seed.
80% was common NFTs.
10% was uncommon.
7% was rare.
2.5% was super rare.
And the 0.5% was ultra-rare.
In short, among the 1,000 gacha balls, 5 of them were ultra-rare items.
Xiaomao gazed at the price. It cost 300 PACT per roll!
It was expensive! To empty this gacha machine, Xiaomao needed to spend 300,000 PACTs!
Xiaomao gulped as he glanced at the small image, which displayed the monthly legendary add-on fragnt.
Add-on fragnts were sothing that every player desired. It could be equipped to an NFT character to increase its growth rate, EXP bonus, or status points.
This was the attraction of this machine. Legendary NFTs and legendary fragnts only appeared in this gacha!
Currently, the monthly fragnt was a perk by the na [Protein from Fish]. The equipped NFT character could acquire permanent status points by consuming rare fishes and fish monsters in the ga.
Xiaomao nodded in satisfaction. This fragnt was what he had been waiting for as it synergized with the class and race that he had desired.
He checked the machine’s ultra-rare items next.
“High-Elf Druid, High-Human fragnt, War Lord Fragnt, Angel Slayer, Annihilator Fragnt… Welp, all trash. Refresh.”
Xiaomao pressed the gacha reset button to renew the ultra-rare item list. It only cost 100 PACT per use.
Even though he used the refresh button, he hadn’t acquired any NFT yet. It only showed possible rewards in the machine.
“Man-Eater Fragnt, Sea Serpent Race Fragnt, Arachne Fragnt… Nope. Next!”
“Stripper Swordsman Job Fragnt? Eh, no.”
“Dual Cultivator Job Fragnt?! Nope! Won are trouble, so NOPE!”
“Devil Race? Eh, tempting, but h. I have a better race in mind.”
Xiaomao kept refreshing as he only waited for a certain ultra-rare NFT to appear in the sixth machine.
After refreshing 200 tis, what Xiaomao had been waiting for had co out.
It was a shiny NFT character of a cute half-cat half-octopus.
