Kaito is looking forward to what rewards the advanced gacha pool actually holds.
However, this difficulty isn't something he can choose alone, nor can the group owner just decide on it, so he still needs to ask everyone's opinion.
[Kaito]: Hmm... so here's the question, which difficulty should we choose?
[Kaito]: Hell mode only allows us to choose one superpower, magic, etc., and it's reduced by 95%. After that, everyone will become ordinary people, not much different...
[Akina]: Hard mode is okay. Not to mention abilities, the physical foundation is reduced to the level of top-tier special forces. In the end, it's still much stronger than ordinary humans.
[Tearju]: Ugh... I, I'm very weak...
[Sephie]: Hehe, hell mode turns us into ordinary people? That sounds interesting too?
[Misuzu]: Hard mode and hell mode are not recommended for children. It seems the humans in this parent-child activity world will be more troublesome than imagined.
[Shodai]: Actually, this is normal. Under the apocalypse, all morality and order shatter. For a piece of bread, it wouldn't be strange to kill even close friends or family, and they might even... eat... people...
[Misuzu]: Hehehe, to bring up a disgusting topic, at times like this, even urine is treated like nectar...
[Tearju]: Misuzu-san, don't be disgusting! Just the cannibalism... is a bit hard to accept. Cannibalism can cause great side effects to the body; the brain and body can become infected, leading to illness, even madness and death in severe cases, and it can even affect the genes of the next generation! From a biological standpoint!
[Shodai]: Well... this actually happened in our ancient times, and even in modern times, there are still some cannibal tribes...
[Kie]: Th-this... several hundred years ago, when people were extremely hungry, the practice of exchanging children to eat did indeed occur...
[Kaito]: It did happen. And in an apocalypse, it truly exposes all the dark sides of humanity.
From this discussion, it seems that if we just choose easy mode, we might hardly encounter any humans, and if we do, they might not be enemies but friends who help each other or even provide aid in times of need?
But for hard mode and above, 99% of them will probably be enemies.
Especially in front of a group of women like this, in an apocalyptic environment, no man could resist.
Even now, Kaito himself couldn't resist!
[Kaito]: Let's vote. Majority rules. Choose 1 for easy, 2 for hard, 3 for hell...
From Kaito's perspective, even with a 95% reduction, he would choose hell mode.
High risk means high reward.
Even though this kind of restriction is annoying and makes him feel terrible,
But...
As long as the rewards are high enough, then it's fine if it's annoying!
Killing enemies gives a 100x point bonus!
Assuming a mutated rat gives 1 point, easy mode stays at 1, hard mode gives 10, and hell mode gives 100!
Just imagine how high the return rate would be!!
Besides, not only do we unlock new features, but a new member also joins the chat group!
And most importantly, we get a free ten-draw from the advanced gacha pool!!!
[Misuzu]: High risk = high reward. It's not like we'll really die. I choose 3!
[Shodai]: Hehehe, with Kaito around, I'm not afraid even of the highest difficulty. I choose 3 too!
[Kaito]: Come on, this is a massive reduction. Even I can't protect you all like before... but well, I also choose 3. Aside from the extremely high point gain, unlocking new features is very important to us. I want to take the gamble.
[Akina]: In that case, I'll choose 3 too.
[Tearju]: Eh? R-really, is it okay? If possible, I think choosing 2 is the safest... but, I, I'll choose 3 too!
[Irisviel]: I'll choose 3 too! Fearless! Then I'll choose the strongest healing magic. Even reduced by 95%, I can still heal significant injuries!
[Sephie]: That's a good way to think. Everyone should choose their abilities strategically. I'll choose 3 too.
[Mika]: Uh... I only have the slime transformation item... but I have some points saved up. I'll try drawing from the gacha to see if I can get a better ability! Choose 3!
[Sayuri]: I'm the weakest in the group with no abilities, what else can I choose? Everyone's already chosen, whatever I pick will be hell mode anyway. Well~ I'll draw from the gacha too.
[Kie]: That's true. Hell mode... it seems I can't bring the children along either...
[Mamako]: Hmm... I'll just go along with everyone's choice, hehe.
It seems almost everyone is choosing the highest difficulty to challenge.
Actually, aside from the ability reduction, there's one thing that's reassuring: their own combat experience, combat instincts, etc., are not restricted.
For example, marksmanship is not restricted.
The only pity is...
Kaito doesn't have any combat skill copy cards left. Otherwise, he could just copy all his own combat abilities and share them with everyone!
Well, those items are quite rare anyway.
But what makes Kaito happy is that he has a Master-level Marksmanship ability, which is a B-class ability.
His combat ability was already very strong, and he also possessed the martial arts of a War God, so his shooting ability must be at a certain level too.
Before, this was completely useless to Kaito, but now...
The Master-level Marksmanship might actually help Kaito. Not only does it improve his shooting ability, but it also provides knowledge about various firearms, even allowing him to DIY his own weapon!
[Kaito]: So, it's decided on 3. Then, let's get some rest. Regarding the children, everyone should decide for themselves, no pressure. Since the mission requires all members to survive, the children are definitely included in that.
[Kaito]: As for drawing from the gacha, let's try to see if we can draw abilities or martial arts copy cards. If we can, great. If not, there's nothing we can do.
Of course!
If he can draw something good, he wouldn't mind either~~'
Anyway, for this activity, he only has two choices for abilities.
The first is [Spatial Gate]. He doesn't know what it'll be like reduced by 95%, but at least it should retain some spatial movement capabilities, right?
The second is, naturally, the [Morax] ability. For no other reason, it's a versatile ability, and the sense of security from the shield is just too great!
