"Lucky draw?" Zhang Zian asked.
[Navigation Elf]: Yes. This is the only lucky draw opportunity in the game, and it is only awarded to players who have completed the tutorial. After that, there will be no more lucky draw opportunities. Therefore, please cherish this opportunity.
"Does that mean there will be no extra rewards for catching pets in the future?"
[Navigation Elf]: The pet itself is the reward. Many special pets have very special abilities that can break all the common sense in the world.
"Well, when do we start the lucky draw? Now? "
[Navigation Elf]: Anytime.
"Well, not now. Let's wait until tomorrow."
[Navigation Elf]: After the lucky draw, the game will not release any tasks. It will only provide information about rare pets or elves. It is up to the player to decide whether to catch them or not. The game will not interfere.
"Let's talk about the lucky draw. What can I get from the lucky draw?"
[Navigation Elf]: Any pet in the database can be selected, including extremely rare elves.
Zhang Zian stared at the blinking light ball on the screen and asked after a while, "Well … You are not the so-called 24-hour customer service, right?"
[Navigation Elf]: I am the navigation elf at your service!
Knowing that he could not get any more information, he closed the game.
The reason why he didn't choose to draw the lottery right away was that his luck had always been bad since he was young. Not to mention the Double-colored Ball Grand Prize, he had never won the "One More Stick" when eating popsicles or the "One More Bottle" when drinking soda. Therefore, he had a headache when it came to drawing the lottery.
Since this was the only lucky draw opportunity, he decided to take a bath, change his clothes, burn some incense, and pray tonight. In other words, he would take a bath, change his clothes, light the mosquito coil, and have a good dream. He hoped that his luck would not be too bad tomorrow.
The next morning, he woke up with a sore body.
"I haven't exercised for a long time. My stamina is getting worse!"
He had chased stray cats for a while yesterday, and now he was like this.
In fact, he did not sleep well last night. He kept having strange dreams in which all kinds of pets appeared and disappeared.
After washing up, he said good morning to his parents' portraits and went downstairs.
He planned to buy some pets at the pet breeding base, but before that, he had to finish the lucky draw.
The game started.
"Well, can I draw the lucky draw now?" he asked.
[Navigation Elf]: Anytime.
"Then let's do it now."
A large square appeared on the screen of the phone. The large square was divided into countless small squares, like a Go board. You could vaguely see the avatar of a pet in each small square.
[Navigation Elf]: You only need to say "Start", and the game will run through the entire database. When you say "Stop", the cursor will stop at the pet you have drawn.
Zhang Zian looked at his watch and said, "Start!"
The cursor swam between different grids at an extremely fast speed, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right, sometimes up and sometimes down, without any pattern.
When he saw that the time was 8: 8: 8, he said, "Stop!"
The cursor stopped.
"What did I get?"
Xiao Ge was so small that he could vaguely recognize that it was the head of a cat.
[Navigation Elf]: Congratulations! You have won the Lucky Cat!
[Game Tips]: The pet "Lucky Cat" has been added to your Elfin Pet Bar. You can check it at any time.
Lucky Cat … Zhang Zian was speechless. Was it sure that it was not deliberately mocking him?
No matter what, he had to take a look at the cat first.
He entered the Elfin Pet Bar.
A black and white kitten appeared in the first position of the Elfin Pet Bar.
He clicked on the kitten …
"Meow … Don't touch me …"
It actually spoke!
The kitten showed a very scared look. It curled its body into a ball, covered its head with its two front paws, and covered its nose with its long tail. Its two intelligent eyes looked at Zhang Zian through the gap between the cat's paws and tail.

"..."
There were too many things to complain about, so Zhang Zian had to deal with them one by one.
"First of all, why can this cat speak?"
[Navigation Elf]: The Lucky Cat you have drawn is an elfin between heaven and earth, and it has the ability to speak.
"Second, what does' Locked 'mean?"
[Navigation Elf]: The pet's favorability towards you is not high enough. Please try to improve it.
"Where can I check the favorability?"
[Navigation Elf]: The favorability cannot be quantified, so it cannot be checked. Just as your love for your parents cannot be quantified, the favorability cannot be displayed by specific values. Please try to improve the favorability, and look forward to the moment when quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
"Well, you are right. How can I improve the favorability? "
[Navigation Elf]: Every pet is different. Please explore it yourself.
Zhang Zian was speechless. What he had said was as good as not saying anything. The difficulty of this game was not just for show!
"What about the real name? What does the real name mean? "
[Navigation Elf]: Every special pet has a unique real name. Please do not reveal the pet's real name to others, or others may freeze the pet's actions.
[Navigation Elf]: The real name is the power. Knowing an elfin's real name means that you have complete control over it. You can exile it or imprison it.
Zhang Zian thought about it. There were indeed "real names" in Western myths and legends. This game probably used it.
He looked at the time. There were still a lot of things to do today, so he couldn't keep playing this game.
He opened the map app on his phone and began to search for "pet breeding base."
If you wanted to sell pets, you had to have a pet first. Pets didn't just pop out of a rock.
There were several pet breeding bases around Binhai City, two of which were relatively close. One was "Love Lovely Pets" breeding base in the north of the city, and the other was "Pets' Home" breeding base in the south of the city.
The pet breeding bases here mainly focused on cats and dogs. Birds and fish were another system.
Zhang Zian didn't think about birds and fish for now.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China ranked third in the world in the number of dog owners, behind only the United States and Brazil, with 27.4 million pet dogs. China ranked second in the world in the number of cat owners, behind only the United States, with 58.1 million pet cats.
With the improvement of people's living standards, the market was growing at a rate of 12% per year, far exceeding the GDP.
Cats and dogs accounted for 90% of the pet market. In other words, with cats and dogs in hand, the world was yours.
As of 2014, 30 million urban households (excluding rural households) had dogs, accounting for 7% of the total number of households in the country, and 2% of households had cats. Combining the above two figures, an interesting conclusion could be drawn: dog households often only had one dog, while cat households often had a bunch of cats.
Therefore, if cats and dogs were ranked in order of priority, it would be: whoever had cats, the world was theirs.
