Chapter 351 - 351: The end-game
Cervantez was not a man-whore, nor did he have any tendencies to become a prostitute for information, hence when the president suggested that he sleep with her to get the information he wanted, he felt instantly repulsed.
Internally, he wondered as to just how fucked up the president had to be to even suggest such a thing, however, externally he maintained a calm face.
"How about I give you another bottle of this delicious champagne instead ma'am? I'm kind of saving myself till marriage–" Cervantez suggested, as he tried to decline the president's advance without trying to offend her with his rejection.
"Saving yourself till marriage? What year is this child? 1999? Grow up!" President Verma said, scoffing, as she did not Cervantez's excuse that he was saving himself till marriage.
"I already have someone I love… and I'm faithful" Cervantez said, trying to plead his way out of this tricky situation, as although he wanted this information badly, he did not wish to pimp himself out to obtain it.
"Hmmm…. Alright, I guess it won't be enjoyable if you're going to do it with a sullen face.
I'll settle for two bottles of that Champagne instead–" President Verma said, as Cervantez let out a sigh of relief.
"Done!" He said, locking that deal as the President began giving him the information that he was looking for.
"The class that you are assigned at the start of the game is based on your physical attributes and your memories.
I'm sure you know about this, since every player has gone through the initial evaluation" President Verma started, as Cervantez nodded in acknowledgement.
"The deal that we made with the aliens is that they will give everyone that boards the Arc Ship a place to stay on planet Terra Nova, as long as they play the induction game 'Terra Nova Online' 12 hours every single day during the journey.
This game is like a skill-training induction, since the inhabitants of planet Terra Nova do not wish for skill-less immigrants to come to their planet, but are welcoming of highly skilled labor.
The whole concept of assigning a class at the start of the game and not allowing players to change their class once it is assigned, is because the aliens have already made a fix-quota of how many laborers they want and which class they wish for them to correspond to.
So say for example they have set the quota for 'Swordsman' class players to 100, then only 100 players who are best suited for the class 'swordsman' will get it, while the 101st guy, will get a different class, regardless of whether or not his personal talents were best suited for the sword or not.
Naturally, while the example that I gave you is pretty rudimentary and simple, the real calculation is much more complex.
There are hundreds of thousands of classes with hundreds of thousands of quota's for each class, so the broad picture is not easy to understand, however, based on our re
It was true that the common people hated her, as to them she was nothing more than a lying piece of scumbag, however, in reality, she was neither purely evil, nor a saint, as she just like every other human was a shade of gray.
In her own way, she was looking after the people of Earth as best as she could, although she did not have the power to do much aboard this ship.
"I see….. so what do you think is their end-game?" Cervantez asked, feeling curious as to what the president thought was the ultimate goal of the aliens.
"I think their end game is to select a few highly skilled individuals who have extraordinary potential and nurture them with all their resources.
Although I don't know why….. but I strongly believe that the aliens don't have the concept of a 'Collective Whole'.
They don't seem to think that all humans are created equal and that all of us possess the same potential for greatness.
For them, one individual can be worth equal to a hundred thousand others and their treatment towards that one special individual is biased too.
And while I'm not sure about what their end-game is, what I am sure about, is that rankers like 'TheBoss' and yourself will have a very different life on planet Terra Nova compared to most commoners" President Verma said, as she gave Cervantez an ominous fore-warning.
