Gaju - One

Chapter 44 - Point 2

"The second, starting in the Third Stage, the Island will introduce a points system."

"Points can be obtained from the wild beasts that are in the Forest."

"The island developed beasts through genetic engineering and divided them based on the level of danger that had been taught during the First Stage."

"For mutated creation level 5, 1 point will be added to the Candidate."

"For mutated creation level 4, 10 points will be added to the Candidate."

"For mutated creation level 3, 100 points will be added to the Candidate."

"For mutated creation level 2, 1000 points will be added to the Candidate."

"For mutated creation level 1, 10,000 points will be added to the Candidate."

"Each mutated creature will be equipped with a chip that will automatically give points to each mini computer that is pasted nearby."

"Item or service that can be obtained by redeeming points can be seen in the database that will be sent to all Candidate mini computers."

"How to exchange points and trade results execution will be notified through a mini computer."

"Good fight."

The remaining candidates listened carefully to the broadcast.

What is the purpose of all this?

Tian looked towards Gaju, “What is their destination this time?”

Gaju just took a deep breath, “Kejam,” the answer was short and flat.

Tian was startled for a moment and then seemed to think, before long, Tian took a deep breath. Adel follows the conversation between the two of them and before long he also begins to realize why Gaju said that the actions of the Managers this time was very cruel.

Only Aju was still engrossed in enjoying the roasted venison in her hands and was puzzled at the sad expressions of the three comrades.

“You guys why such sad faces? Isn't that still a lot of meat? Take it easy, I will not spend it anyway,” replied Aju with a smile and then fun to enjoy lunch again.

Ignorance is bliss.

Aju was still calmly and savorily eating her lunch, without thinking at all about the effect of the brodcast from the Manager earlier. As if all of that was not dealing with him.

“Forward, let's put our opinions together first. We also have to find a solution, right?” ask Tian.

Gaju nodded his head.

“They are using the points system now. That means, from now on, there is an exchange rate on the Island. Not like when everything was available. With the exchange rate, an economic system is formed. There will be supply and demand, sellers and buyers. There will be a commercial motive in the act. People will judge all his actions by the rule of profit and loss,” Adel said expressing his opinion to Gaju and Tian.

The aju? The three of them thought it did not exist.

“In addition to the economic side as Adel said, there will be a psychological side. Trust is going to be something harder to build. With the point system, especially with manual methods such as attaching a mini computer to a chip that is in the hunted creation, there will be mutual capture of prey, theft, robbery and such actions, he said, to get points. That way, the mutual trust of fellow Candidates would be lost, they would probably prefer to hunt alone rather than in groups. Lone Fighter has more chances with this point system. Groups like Team Koga will receive the heaviest impact. They might break out due to uneven point distribution, or even fraudulent point allocation while hunting,” Tian said.

Gaju listened to the words of the two best Strategists on the Island while smiling wryly. Their analysis is both true, but there is one simple thing that escapes their analysis.

“Forward, what do you think?” ask Adel.

“I don't care about anything other than survival. I don't care about the point system the Island is trying to introduce. Even if your analysis is very accurate,” replied Gaju slowly.

“So?” tian asked who looked curious.

“Broadcast from them just told me one very disturbing thing,” said Gaju and he stopped.

“Aaan anyway? Don't make people cling to that cake!!” sumpul Tian while approaching Gaju and feed the venison in his hand to Gaju.

Gaju chuckled at Tian's protest.

“Okay, sorry, it was intentionally dramatic, but I'm serious. There is one thing you forget, all this time I consider it just a myth and theory, but after the broadcast earlier, I am sure that it is a fact.”

“You were horrified if the points were given according to the level of the wild beast we hunted? And Island awarded points for all levels, including levels 3, 2, and 1. That means, they are real or at least, the Island knows that they really exist.”

“About how many chances do we have to face a level 1 creature like a Dragon, or maybe a level 2 like Cerberus, or a level 3 like Griffin?” ask Gaju.

Tian and Adel looked at each other. Now they both are conscious. The island gives points to the creature, and as Gaju analyzes, that means, most likely they will meet with the mystical creatures mentioned by Gaju earlier. Even with the abilities they now have, Adel and Tian are not sure they will be able to fight against these extraordinary creatures.

“So, what should we do?” ask Adel, “I don't want to go back to the Complex. Humph, Koga must feel lucky they still choose to master the Complex with all the defenses that are there,” he continued.

"Yes, but with this point system, it will not last long,” replied Tian, “I think the food stock in the Complex will not be enough to last for 2 months. Gradually they had to move out and hunt to survive. Or maybe exchange points to the Manager for basic needs. When that happened, what was their point allocation like? Will Koga receive all of their hunting points? Is Koga also willing to bear the living needs of his Team members who will only be a burden?”

“Hutan may be more dangerous with the addition of level 3 and above, but our enemies are not them. Our enemy is our fellow Candidates, and two months is more than enough time to create a basecamp that has a pretty good defense,” Gaju said.
