"Rimuru, over here, over here!"
As Rimuru stepped onto the road, she heard a warm shout.
Rimuru looked in the direction of the voice and saw a blonde, blue-eyed girl waving at her from afar.
After a slight hesitation, Rimuru walked over.
As soon as she got close, the girl eagerly rushed into her arms, exclaiming, "Praise the Lord, Rimuru, it's so good that you're okay!"
The girl's embrace was too intimate, making Rimuru a bit uncomfortable. Besides... who was she?
"No way, Rimuru, you actually forgot me? That's so sad!"
"Claire, I'm Claire! You really can't remember anything at all?"
It had to be said, this girl named Claire was a super chatterbox.
Once she started talking, she barely stopped.
Under her chattering, Rimuru quickly learned a lot of trivial gossip.
For example, Whitney, the somewhat handsome delinquent in their class, had recently successfully completed Predation of the D-class monster "Invincible Flea" and gained the superpower "Super Jump."
With one jump, he could reach 200 times his height, which was nearly 400 meters, truly abnormal.
He instantly transformed from a delinquent into one of the most promising students in the class.
Coach Will even personally invited him to join the school's football team!
Also, a classmate named Paul successfully completed Predation of the F+ class monster "Basilisk Lizard." His feet could splay out scales like tassels, allowing him to rapidly slap the ground and Water surface at 3.5 meters per second.
When he moved at high speed, the naked eye couldn't even catch his trace; only a series of Shadow could be seen.
The most incredible thing was that Paul could not only perform "Shadowless Feet" but also "Water Walking," possessing amphibious combat capabilities.
He was hailed as the fastest man in the middle school!
The only drawback was that continuous acceleration consumed too much stamina; at peak burst, it could only last for a maximum of three minutes.
But even so, Paul was unanimously favored by all teachers and even attracted the attention of the army, who extended an olive branch to him.
As long as Paul was willing, upon graduation, joining the army could potentially make him a company-level officer.
However, the person Claire mentioned most often was a "guy" named Gwen Stacy.
With almost every word Claire spoke, Rimuru could sense a hint of sourness.
For example, Gwen, that little hussy, was just lucky to have a good father; otherwise, with her abilities, how could she have successfully completed Predation of the C-class monster "Cosmic Eye Cat"?
The Cosmic Eye Cat bestowed upon Gwen extremely beautiful eyes, and made the already charming Gwen grow cute cat ears and a cat tail, increasing her charm by an unknown number of times.
She instantly became the most beautiful girl in the class and the Captain of the school's cheerleading squad, which made Claire incredibly jealous...
"The school bus is here, let's go!"
Claire pulled Rimuru's hand and ran towards the school bus.
Looking at Claire's back and feeling her joyful presence, Rimuru's legs also involuntarily started moving.
The more she ran, the more relaxed Rimuru felt, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
She could feel that, apart from being a bit of a chatterbox and a bit envious, Claire was genuinely not a bad person.
On the school bus, Rimuru once again received concern from her classmates.
Although her memory was gone, Rimuru could still sense that before the car accident, her popularity at school must have been very good.
"Rimuru, can you help me draw a card?"
In the class, a boy with somewhat dark skin came up to Rimuru with his smart chip.
"Draw a card? Me?"
Rimuru was a bit confused. Asking her to help draw cards, was there some mistake?
"Mm-hmm. Please!"
The boy clasped his hands together, incredibly devout.
Looking at his devout eyes, Rimuru's heart was touched, feeling a sense of "we are all in the same boat."
"Alright!"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, the boy excitedly shouted and yelled, his joy almost overflowing.
Rimuru was a bit speechless. Was it really that big of a deal? It was just a game!
Taking the boy's smart chip, Rimuru immediately drew a card.
"SSR, I drew an SSR! Oh my god, my little Black actually got an SSR too! Wuwu, I'm so touched! The unlucky one has finally turned his luck around!"
Hearing Black's exclamation, an unprecedented excitement erupted on the bus.
"What? An SSR really appeared?"
"My, god! Greetings, European Emperor!"
"A+ class monster, Nightmare Ghost Squid Girl! God, Danny is about to soar!"
Everyone looked at Rimuru, their eyes filled with endless fervor.
"Rimuru, please help me draw a card too!"
"Me too!"
"Oh God, please!"
"I kneel!"
...
Looking at the smart chips extended towards her, Rimuru was completely bewildered. It was just a game, were they too fanatical?
Since it was just drawing cards, Rimuru didn't mind and agreed.
Soon, the entire bus erupted in unprecedented cheers, with almost everyone getting what they wanted.
Claire: "Rimuru, you wouldn't know this, but this game was officially launched. Its core is an extremely mysterious algorithm, almost closely related to the person themselves. Whatever card you draw in the game, there's a high probability of completing Predation of that type of monster in reality!"
What?
Whatever card you draw in the game, there's a high probability of completing Predation of that type of monster in reality?
That's too metaphysical, isn't it?
Nightmare Ghost Squid Girl?
The prototype should be the Nightmare Ghost Squid, right? Rimuru remembered that in the endangered species list her father compiled, the Nightmare Ghost Squid was ranked eleventh.
There seemed to be no more than... 100 of them in the entire World!
Gulp!
Rimuru couldn't help but swallow. Her single draw just now, wouldn't it cause a certain species to go extinct?
Besides, was her luck really that good?
Most of the classmates on the school bus had obtained very good cards through Rimuru's hand.
Even Claire drew an A-class monster "Purple Sea Jellyfish," whose bell diameter could reach over 30 meters. Beneath its beautiful exterior, it possessed a heart of slaughter.
Like the most vibrant poisonous mushroom!
Claire was satisfied. After completing Predation of the Purple Sea Jellyfish, in terms of appearance, she might be able to crush Cosmic Eye Cat Gwen.
"Wait, please wait!"
Outside the school bus, a boy with a backpack ran at high speed, shouting at the speeding school bus, hoping it would stop and wait for him.
But the school bus not only didn't stop, it even sped up!
"Look, Peter, that idiot missed the school bus again!"
"What do you guys think his excuse for being late today will be? Helping an old lady cross the road? Or helping a child find her Mother?"
"Yo ho, Peter, that White boy is running really fast. Look, his short legs are almost a blur..."
"Hahahaha!"
Inside the school bus, a burst of schadenfreude laughter erupted.
Soon after, Peter Parker disappeared from sight.
A minute later, a "thump" sound came from the roof of the school bus.
What no one knew was that a small Peter was climbing on the roof.
What the small Peter didn't know was that Rimuru already knew it was him on the roof!
