[Detected that the series of missions 'Endless Cross-Country Running' has been completed, and is in the process of being summarized...]
A system alert pops up, summarizing the results.
[Mission Completed: 73.]
[Mission Completion Reward: Low-level Painkillers+73.]
[Within the forty-five minutes after the mission was triggered, you directly helped others 18 times, including 18 times by removing their burdens, 4 times by assisting them to move forward, and 1 time by resolving emergencies. The total number of people you helped was 18.]
[Within the forty-five minutes after the mission was triggered, the number of times you indirectly helped others was '55', of which the number of times your companions lifted the burdens of others was '55', the number of times you assisted others to move forward was '6', the number of times you promptly resolved emergencies was '0', and the total number of people you helped was '55'.]
[The number of peers you did not help is '5', the number of people you helped directly and because of you is '7', the number of people you helped indirectly and because of you is '11', and the number of people you didn't help and because of you is '3'...].
Prompt to here, was fast to a prompt a flash of the system prompt paused for a few seconds, only to prompt again.
[The trust value of the new students in the same period of the first section has risen, the sense of collective honor has risen, and the persuasive power has increased.]
[Your special title 'Motherland is Calling' has had its buffs increased, we've updated the introduction, please click to check it out.]
Updated the Leader buff in the title [Motherland is Calling], the introduction details have been changed, and a new hint has been added.
['Leader' is divided into four stages: 20%, 60%, 80%, 100%.]
Since this is the first time it appears, it is followed by the criteria for the division, which include the relationship between the Leader and the group, time, emotion, the group's view of the Leader, the individual's view of the Leader, and the Leader's plan for the group, etc. Only at 100% can the full functionality of the buffs be fully opened.
The full functionality is.
[You have the authority to be the Leader of the group.
When you are present, group cohesion increases, solidity increases, defeat rate decreases, and individual IQ decreases.
When you are injured, group aggressiveness increases, uncontrollability increases, IQ and rationality decrease significantly, and there is a certain probability that the group casualty rate will increase at the expense of your safe survival rate.
When you die, the group's aggression will increase significantly, their defense will decrease significantly, and their IQ and rationality will collapse with a high probability until they avenge you.]
Ichijō Mirai's current stage is: [20%, first time Leader.]
[Your position as Leader is not yet secure enough to be recognized, but your presence is clear, and many people have grown fond of you, vaguely agreeing with your leadership.]
Ichijō Mirai was a bit surprised to see 20% after just two days of meeting, but after considering what he had done from the NPC's perspective, and considering the concentration of clear stupidity among the new students, he was quickly convinced.
He scrolled up the prompts, his eyes resting on [Leader]'s full introduction, his eyes staring slightly, "Your company really isn't suited to making games."
Is the [Leader] buff good? Yes.
The system could have introduced the full [Leader] buff in one sentence: Dear player, you have a team of dead soldiers.
The dead soldiers are the freshmen of this year's police academy, over a hundred of them, what's that? Considering the strength of the police force in the game, Ichijō Mirai is sure to change Japan's last name.
And the scariest part: the hints don't specify that the Leader's group can only be from this year's police academy.
Ichijō Mirai could even go out on the streets and pull people in one by one, convincing them to submit to him and join his group, creating a steady stream of dead soldiers.
This is too unbalanced, so unbalanced that he can only sigh: stupid company.
...If such a thing even exists.
100% of the [Leaders] are very unbalanced, while 20% of the [Leaders] are still within the normal range. The freshmen just surround them with admiring eyes, and some enthusiastically hand out towels, drinking water, and ask about their situation.
Ichijō Mirai looked up and was moved: the hot sweat of some freshmen and the sour smell of some freshmen's cooling sweat mixed together, rushing at them a hundred times more enthusiastically than the freshmen.
He resisted the urge to turn his head away, and took a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and washed it over his head and down his body to cool himself down, before holding his breath and saying, "Hashimoto-san is suffering from heatstroke, so please make some room and take him to the ambulance."
The group of freshmen immediately responded with a chorus of voices, "Okay, okay, the ambulance is this way."
"Hashimoto-san, are you okay? You made it, you're amazing!"
"Why don't you go to the ambulance too, Kujō-san? You must be tired from all those trips."
"Yes, yes, yes, go and take a look, I only ran the round trip, and I'm still sore and achy, and my legs feel weak."
Low-level Painkillers can block out pain, and although they can't block out fatigue and tiredness together, just blocking out pain already reduces the difficulty by half, and Ichijō Mirai is fine now, but he just has the fatigue of being chased by the police for three days at a time.
He declined without much concern, naturally helping Hashimoto Yūhito along as he tried to get away from the hot, sweaty odor, "No, I'm fine."
"After running cross-country just now, we should try not to rest straight away, the instructors didn't train us ahead of time and didn't let us warm up, running ten kilometers under load straight away and then resting immediately afterwards, your legs will be ruined the next day."
The new students had no intention of dispersing, they followed Ichijō Mirai step by step, making the whole circle move, casting blearily glances and throwing out all sorts of fragmentary inquiries.
Ichijō Mirai maintained the most basic of polite smiles, "The instructors are looking over."
The new students subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction of the instructors.
The instructors' faces varied, some of them had the same look as the new students, some of them had an admiring look, and a few of them had a bad look on their faces, as if they were trying their best to suppress their irritation.
"Hashimoto-san will probably need to rest in the hospital for two days," Ichijō Mirai added, "and we'll need to return to the academy."
"The instructors will probably be gathering the new students, so why don't you go ahead and I'll get Hashimoto-san into the car."
The white ambulance was close at hand, and the paramedics on board had already gotten out, but since the circle of freshmen was too big to squeeze in and pick up the patient, they didn't stick around any longer, and took more than ten times slower than the time it took to gather up the circle to disperse, and then looked back as they walked, and gathered towards the instructors at a slower pace.
Ichijō Mirai breathed a sigh of relief as he helped Hashimoto Yūhito into the car with the paramedics, and jumped down alone, realizing that the crowd wasn't quite finished, and that Morofushi Hiromitsu and the others were still there.
Morofushi Hiromitsu unscrewed the drinking water in his hand and handed the bottle over, "Wash your face again, you've been running for too long, don't drink yet."
He watched as Ichijō Mirai took the water, his eyes focused on the bottle, and observed a detail: Ichijō Mirai's hand was shaking slightly.
It was very slight, not too large, and it was an instinctive tremor that came from the body's over-exertion, symbolizing excessive fatigue and a certain amount of loss of strength.
Painkillers only block the pain.
"...Instructor Yoshida just said that if everyone can finish the cross-country run, today's training will end early, and we can be dismissed when we get back to the academy."
Morofushi Hiromitsu averted his eyes, pretending not to notice, "You can rest, Kujō-san."
