Chapter 232: The highest-level ticket
Soon after Waldo conducted the supply lottery, it was time for the system to reveal the locations of the tickets. At this moment, a system announcement was made: "The ticket locations have been updated. Survivors, please check carefully!"
As expected, Waldo soon saw numerous ticket locations marked on the map. The system also provided crucial information about the tickets.
Firstly, there were four levels of tickets. The fourth-level tickets were the most abundant, comprising approximately 70% of all tickets. Holders of fourth-level tickets would receive the poorest living conditions and treatment on Noah’s Ark, but at least they could survive.
The third-level tickets made up around 25% of the total. Survivors with third-level tickets would enjoy relatively better living conditions and treatment on the ark. It was an acceptable level of comfort.
Beyond that, there were second-level tickets. These were quite rare, accounting for only 5% of all tickets. Holders of second-level tickets would experience very high-quality treatment, akin to VIP status. They were precious and few in number.
Finally, there was the first-level ticket, the rarest and most valuable of them all. There was only one of this ticket. It was clear just how important and privileged the holder of this ticket would be.
Waldo fixed his eyes on that first-level ticket. "I’m going for this ticket," he said with unwavering confidence.
However, he had the confidence to back it up. His strength had reached its peak, without a doubt standing at the pinnacle of survivors. Who else deserved this ticket? Only he did. No one else.
Alanna voiced her concern, "I feel like many people will be competing for this ticket."
Waldo shook his head, brushing it off, "What’s the worry? With our strength, who can challenge us? As long as I make the decision, no one will dare to vie with me for this ticket!"
Helen nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it’s true. Without this system announcement, Waldo’s fame would probably be soaring right now. Even with it, Waldo’s influence is still terrifying. I doubt anyone would dare to challenge him, at least not currently."
In the GMT+8 region, Waldo was undoubtedly at the top in terms of strength. People who could match him were few and far between. This ticket was meant for him.
At that moment, many people on the chat channel began discussing the situation.
"It doesn’t look good. There are too few tickets. At most, they’re only enough for half the people."
"Right, I’ve noticed that too. This is bad news. If only half the people can get tickets, what about the other half? Does that mean they’ll be abandoned when the tsunami arrives? Is there any hope for them?"
"This is crazy! The reality is harsh. The competition for tickets is going to be fierce, even brutal!"
"I don’t have high expectations. I just hope to get a fourth-level ticket and survive!"
"Sigh, at least half the people won’t be able to secure tickets."
At this moment, many survivors were feeling down, anxious, and fearful because the number of tickets was far too few to meet the demands of all survivors. When the tsunami came, it was inevitable that half of the survivors would be eliminated. Just thinking about it was despairing.
At this time, someone noticed the one and only first-level ticket.
"Hey, look at this! In City 28, there’s a single first-level ticket. I wonder who will ultimately get it!"
"Oh my God! That’s a first-level ticket! The only one! Once you hold this ticket, on Noah’s Ark, you’ll enjoy the treatment of a presidential level, only one of its kind!"
"But who will be able to get this ticket?"
"Why think so much? It’s definitely not going to be us!"
Many people were envious of this ticket. However, they also knew it had nothing to do with them. Not to mention whether they could snatch this ticket, even if they were lucky enough to temporarily hold it, they would probably not be able to keep it for long.
More powerful survivors would snatch it away quickly. At that point, being spared from violence and robbery would be considered fortunate.
"I think that ticket is meant for Waldo."
"Indeed, in terms of strength, only Waldo is worthy of getting this ticket. Others don’t have the qualification, they’re all subpar!"
"Yes, whoever else gets this ticket, the others will feel resentful and want to fight for it. Only with Waldo will the others be willingly accepting."
"That being said, don’t forget a very practical issue. Right now, Waldo is in City 25, but the ticket’s location is in City 28. The distance between these two places is not short!"
"True. Despite Waldo’s strength, he’s too far from City 28. By the time he arrives, the first-level ticket might have already been snatched by someone else!"
"Yeah, Waldo is in a precarious situation!"
The crowd couldn’t help but express their thoughts.
And right at that moment, after careful consideration, Waldo posted a message:
"Dear friends, I intend to compete for this first-level ticket, and I hope you can give it to me! Right now, I’m recruiting survivors in City 28 to guard this ticket for me, making sure no one takes it or steals it until I arrive! As a reward, I can help you secure third-level tickets, or even second-level tickets! Interested volunteers can sign up now, with the strongest among you taking precedence!"
Waldo had quite a number of fans, and many survivors were following him. Therefore, when he posted this message, it didn’t take long for almost all survivors to find out.
In an instant, many people were stunned.
"Wow, this is way too arrogant, isn’t it?"
"Goodness, he actually reserved the ticket directly, not giving others any chance. That’s really domineering. But I like it!"
Those survivors who had been harboring delusions about the first-level ticket probably didn’t know how to feel right now, hahaha.
The content of Waldo’s message was indeed incredibly audacious and domineering. He treated the ticket as if it were already in his pocket and even recruited others to guard it.
This move left everyone astonished!
Nevertheless, the promise he made was quite tempting. Consequently, many people signed up.
"Even so, it’s not safe. We need to hurry there!"
Following this, Waldo wasted no time and rushed to City 28.
