Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Taming the Wild Cat Horde and Striking Gold
[Survival Points: 7320]
Feeling elated with his current survival points, Zeng Shen turned towards the five kittens surrounded by the wild cat horde.
At this moment, the large black cat and the spotted black and white cats were trying to gnaw through the ropes binding the kittens' legs.
As Zeng Shen approached, the large black cat stopped biting and turned, growling warily with the other cats, as if not wanting him to come closer.
"Don't worry, I'm not a bad guy. You can't break those ropes, but I can help untie them."
Zeng Shen spoke softly.
However, the wild cats didn't seem to understand him and remained on guard.
"Meow."
Suddenly, as Zeng Shen considered stepping forward to untie the ropes, Little Black approached, rubbing against the large black cat and meowing sweetly.
Then Zeng Shen saw the large black cat's eyes soften, and it stepped aside slightly.
The other wild cats followed suit, stepping back.
"Good job, Little Black."
Zeng Shen mentally praised Little Black, then hurried to untie the terrified, meowing kittens.
Once freed, the kittens joyfully yet fearfully meowed, rushing to the large black cat.
"Meow~"
The large black cat, seeing the kittens safe, meowed a thank you to Zeng Shen, then began licking the kittens' fur, soothing them.
Satisfied, Zeng Shen smiled and took out a bag of cat food, pouring it beside the large black cat and the kittens.
The kittens, drawn by the smell, turned to the food and began eating.
The large black cat glanced at Zeng Shen, then, after a few seconds, bent down to eat, evidently hungry and less wary of him.
"Meow."
The surrounding wild cats, tempted by the scent, meowed eagerly.
Some wanted to approach but feared the large black cat's authority, only able to gaze longingly at the remaining cat food in Zeng Shen's hand.
"Haha, there's enough for everyone."
Laughing, Zeng Shen poured the remaining food among the wild cats.
"Meow."
The ten wild cats hesitated for a moment.
But in the next second, seeing what Zeng Shen had given them, they scrambled for the food, some even fighting over the same piece.
"Don't fight, there's more."
Zeng Shen laughed, sprinkling another bag of cat food.
The large black cat calmly ate a few mouthfuls, then looked at Zeng Shen feeding the wild cats, before glancing at the kittens.
In its golden eyes, a decision seemed to be made, and it let out a horn-like meow.
Immediately, Zeng Shen saw pale light emanating from the large black cat and the wild cats, flowing towards him.
[The host's sincerity has moved the Buster Tribe leader. She has decided to lead her tribe to follow you, survival points +3000.]
[Congratulations, host, for gaining 16 general followers, faith +160.]
"Ah!"
Hearing the system prompt, Zeng Shen's joy was boundless.
The wild cats had finally submitted, and he'd gained another three thousand points, enough for another ten-draw.
Without hesitation, Zeng Shen opened the lottery wheel.
"Lottery, ten-draw."
The virtual wheel spun before him, with a blue, green, and white light tinged with gold.
Seeing the golden hue, Zeng Shen felt a surge of anticipation.
But recalling last time, when the gold light appeared without yielding a gold card, he shook his head slightly.
"Gold cards are guaranteed only after a thousand draws."
"It's not that easy to get one."
"Perhaps the gold light is just like the flashy effects in gacha games, not indicating a gold card."
As Zeng Shen mused, the wheel's glow intensified, and a golden light burst forth, enveloping him.
[Congratulations, host, for drawing a Gold Card, Divine Realm Card—Land of the Chosen.]
Zeng Shen's eyes widened in disbelief.
"A gold card?"
Quickly, he opened his inventory.
A golden card, exuding a transcendent aura, floated quietly in a slot.
[Land of the Chosen: Gold Card, creates a divine realm in the void for the host. This realm's coordinates cannot be captured by any deity, and it will evolve with the host, producing countless rare miracles and features…]
"It's really a gold card, and a Divine Realm Card at that!"
Zeng Shen was ecstatic.
With this card, he wouldn't need to wait for a million faith points to activate a divine realm.
It saved untold time and risk.
"Awesome!"
Zeng Shen exclaimed, studying the card's details.
According to the card, this divine realm surpassed typical realms.
In other words, future realms would vary in quality.
His realm was top-tier, promising extraordinary benefits.
As Zeng Shen pondered the realm's potential, four white lights shot from the wheel towards him.
[Congratulations, host, for drawing 2 White Cards, Plankton Group Card.]
[Congratulations, host, for drawing 1 White Card, Freshwater Shrimp Card.]
[Congratulations, host, for drawing 1 White Card, Freshwater Carp Card.]
[Congratulations, host, for drawing 1 White Card, Small Emerald Gem Mine Card.]
Zeng Shen glanced at the white cards in his inventory.
[Plankton Group Card: Contains weak divine energy. Adds to the divine realm, increasing survival of fish and shrimp fry, boosting aquatic food production.]
[Freshwater Shrimp Card: Adds to freshwater in the divine realm, breeding shrimp with divine energy, slightly increasing divine energy when consumed long-term.]
[Freshwater Carp Card: Adds to freshwater in the divine realm, breeding carp with divine energy, slightly increasing divine energy when consumed long-term.]
[Small Emerald Gem Mine Card: Adds to the divine realm, allowing extraction of divine energy emeralds and small quantities of elemental gems.]
