Apocalypse: System of lotteries



Ming took out a random item from the Broken Bowl:

[Spotted Diary]

He opened it and read:

[Day 129 of delivery, I finally got another interview opportunity. I took my project 'A' to the 'YH' Tech company. After seeing the first round interviewer, they said that I was good in all aspects and told me to wait for the notification at home. I know that the first round is with HR, and only after passing it would there be a second round interview with the department head who has the actual demand. I am full of expectations...]

[Day 131 of delivery, today wasn't too great because the restaurant was very slow in serving the food, which led to a delay in the delivery. When I handed the takeout to the customer, she was very angry. I apologized, but she said what good would apologizing do. Well, I was scolded for a while, but in order to not affect the good review, I chose to bear it. After all, this is part of the job. However, when I was going downstairs, she cursed me as 'ugly'. Well, I admit that I'm ugly...]

[Day 133 of delivery, 'YH' Tech's HR still hasn't informed me about the second round of interviews. I was thinking, did she forget to notify me because she was too busy? I picked up the phone to call and ask, the other side politely told me that they have already recruited suitable people. I held the phone feeling somewhat disappointed. For the first time, I plucked up the courage to retort that the technical department hadn't seen my research results. The other party was silent for a while and said that their company still has requirements for image and temperament.  After the call, I silently looked in the mirror. Am I really an 'ugly nerd'?]

[Day 1 at home, today, I decided to stop doing deliveries. Because running around outside every day for the past few months has indeed improved my physical condition, but my skin has become darker than before. At 22, I look more like an uncle with a face full of vicissitudes. I decided to change my image while continuing to improve project 'A'.]

[At home, Day 9. I got a gift from big sis, the complete Cthulhu mythos, and happily input the contents into Little A's memory so I can access it anytime.]

[Day 22 at home, I got a haircut, I cut it myself and it feels pretty good. Occasionally I open WhatsApp to chat with my college classmates. They tell me that I don't necessarily have to go into a tech company, I could try the gaming industry first, get a stable income and then continue to pursue my dreams. I think it makes sense, so I started sending out resumes.]

ZZZZ~

When Ming woke up, it was already the next morning. He stored the fragments of the night's diary in his inventory, now fairly certain little A was likely part of the rules. Looks like there was another side to this world. 

Ming rubbed his head, everything should go according to plan, he can't be distracted because of these things.

[Your Da Vinci crouched by the cocoon, confessing her longing from last night, and kicking away the foodie who approached, saying, "I'm whispering, what are you doing here~"]

[Your foodie humbly sought to learn cheesy pick-up lines from Da Vinci, wanting to know what she said to the butterfly today~]

[Your da Vinci glares and tells foodie, "The bond between me and the little butterfly is stronger than gold, we're a match made in heaven, do we even need pick-up lines?"]

"~~"

After finishing washing up, Ming starts breakfast. He noticed that da Vinci's staple food, the big white and plump worms, are almost gone. Hmm, he needs to prepare some for it. After breakfast, he sat on the roof watching the small family playing in the yard.

Ming holds the King Horn Frog card in his hand, fusing.

Buzz~

The golden light flickered in his palm, and he felt the weight of the new froglet in his hand, at least enough to stir-fry three dishes.

When the brilliance dissipated, the King Horn Frog appeared in front of him. It was slightly smaller than Foodie, with a golden pattern on its body, dotted with green and black ring patterns, like leopard print.

[Your King Horn Frog congratulates you for having such a powerful assistant. It looks into your eyes and says, "You should know that my froggy motto is to conquer the world, nothing can stop my steps. That also means I am a frog that enjoys freedom. You should get used to the fact that I may not come home for many days. After all, a great and successful frog won't always stick at home, becoming a good-for-nothing glutton that only knows about eating and sleeping~"]

[Your Foodie happened to come over, looking at the King Horn Frog, "Newcomer, you're quite good at talking, huh?"]

[Your King Horn Frog looked at Foodie and hopped off your palm to the ground. "I was born to be a leader, being able to talk is a basic skill of mine. You look robust, your appetite must be quite good, right? That means you're healthy. If you're healthy, you'll live a long life. If you live a long life, you'll get to eat more delicious food. You're going to be the strongest foodie froglet in the world. Are you interested in joining me to explore the delicacies from all over the world?"]

[Your Foodie patted King Horn Frog's head, turned around, and ran downstairs, croaking, "Da Vinci, the most deceptive horn frog is here~"]

"~~"

Ming checked the information about the Horn Frog:

"Spank?"

Ming moved his right hand and tried to flick a pebble next to him.

Bang!

The pebble split open.

[Your King Horn Frog looks at you. It thinks that although you are powerful, you must be a very delicate person in your heart, knowing how to control your strength, surely you won't smack a cute frog in half~]

[Your King Horn Frog looks at you, "Master, give me a loud name. You should know that my ambition is to conquer the world~"]

"Um~"

Ming scratched his nose, seriously considering. When it came to naming, he was pretty good at it.

Considering the King Horn Frog's ambition to conquer the world... Let's call him: Napoleon~

[Your Napoleon felt the name Napoleon was kinda lame but acted delighted anyway, flicking its tongue to lick your palm and nibbling your little finger. It told you this showed its respect~] 

[Your Napoleon told you to hurry and spank, he wants to go conquer the world. He looks back at you, reminding you to be gentle, for you're an adult who knows restraint~]

[Your Napoleon gazed at you blurrily."Ming... is there... poison... on your fingers?"]

"~~"

Ming shook his head mildly and picked up the fainted Napoleon. What to say, you licked and bit, it's no surprise that you fainted, right?
